Paul O'Shea and Sebastian Maslow have published a new peer-reviewed article in Policy Studies, analysing Japan's dramatic policy shifts in the aftermath of Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Change in Japanese foreign and security policy has long been characterized as “incremental”. However, Japan’s response to Russia’s 2022 invasion of Ukraine provides an opportunity to reconsider this paradigm. In th

Using micro-designed soil models, researchers at Lund University and members of BECC, have investigated how tiny particles of polystyrene affect bacteria and fungi. Although this nanoplastic reduced both bacterial and fungal growth, the fungus actually managed to 'clean up' its environment and mitigate the impact of the plastic. - Plastic waste is a huge problem today. Whether discarded carelessly

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Spinach is a nutritious vegetable, but is not recommended for infants because of its nitrate content. Now a doctoral thesis from Lund University in Sweden presents a simple method capable of reducing the nitrate content by up to 70 per cent. Nitrate is a common nutrient for plants and is therefore also present in othe

Det pågår ett ständigt krig mellan bakterier och deras virus, bakteriofager, där båda försöker överlista varandra. I en internationell studie som letts från Lunds universitet, har forskarna nu lyckats förstå grunderna i hur en av bakteriernas försvarsystem mot fagattackerna fungerar. Det är en viktig pusselbit för att få fram effektiva fagterapier som alternativ till antibiotika. Bakteriofager – o

A key goal of public health systems is to reduce existing socioeconomic disparities in health. Yet, the economic incentives facing healthcare providers sometimes work in the other direction. Specifically, when providers are remunerated by a fixed sum for taking the overall responsibility for a given patient, they are incentivised to avoid or undertreat patients whose care needs are relatively larg

In a new article, researchers at Lund University have studied a new ice-skating technique that is more energy efficient than the traditional stride technique. By skating in arcs, ice hockey players can move just as quickly but with less energy loss. The authors say this could lead to better performance on the ice, as
