Feeling unmotivated to carve another jack-o’-lantern out of a slimy pumpkin? As luck would have it, at least you don’t have to struggle with a rock-hard turnip. The pumpkin’s status as the main symbol of Halloween is actually somewhat of an historical coincidence. Ethnologist Katarzyna Herd explains why. Two-hundred tonnes. According to SVT Nyheter, this is how much pumpkin was transported from Le

In just a few years, artificial intelligence has gone from horror film bogie man to a tool integrated into every phone and computer. From spell check to shopping recommendations – and now to allocating tasks at work and measuring performance. LUM met with organisational researcher Sverre Spoelstra to talk about algorithmic leadership. Your boss may not be an app, yet. But the idea is not as futuri

A long-standing bottleneck in technology development has been how to make processors and memories work faster together. Now, researchers in Lund have presented a new solution in which a memory cell is integrated with the processor, so that calculations can be performed much faster as they take place inside the memory circuit itself. In an article in Nature Electronics, the researchers describe the

How much water do we need to drink to stay healthy? How do different diets affect our metabolism? Studies of various hormones in the body are providing diabetes researchers with new answers to these questions. The goal is to develop individualized treatments and dietary recommendations that could lower the risk of developing obesity and diseases such as type 2 diabetes. The endocrine system and th

Interest in type 1 diabetes screening is growing as methods improve and new treatments become available to more patients. New research at Lund University demonstrates how screening for autoimmune diseases can be carried out on a large-scale basis. A new treatment that can delay the onset of type 1 diabetes has been approved for use in the United States. If the treatment Teplizumab becomes availabl

Antibiotic treatments help the body to fight infections and should have as little negative impact on humans as possible. A new study in the journal Nature Medicine shows that the use of antibiotics can affect the human gut microbiota for several years. The study found that some types of antibiotics had a greater impact on the gut microbiota than others. “It is great that we have antibiotics which

Säg ”Primula” och en del tänker på en blomma. Andra tänker på ett lönesystem vars användarvänlighet lämnar en del övrigt att önska. Men när systemet började utvecklas under 1990-talet var det supermodernt – och något som lärosätena själva tagit fram. Välkommen att följa med i den vindlande berättelsen om personal- och lönesystemet Primula. Vi har talat med en frustrerad forskare, en systemförvalta

Många av oss har jobbat mer på distans under pandemin än vad vi någonsin drömde om att göra. Informatikforskaren Saonee Sarker har studerat distansarbete och dess påverkan på livspusslet i flera år, men då främst med fokus på IT-världen. I dag ser hon hur den branschens digitala arbete har förflyttats till att omfatta oss alla. Bokhyllorna i Saonee Sarkers arbetsrum på Ekonomicentrum i Lund gapar
