The information age predates the internet by a long stretch – it began with life itself. Nobel Laureate Craig C. Mello described at the Lund Spring Symposium in May how living organisms are not merely carriers of genes, but also active managers, defenders, and editors of genetic information. Craig Mello, who received the Nobel Prize in 2006 for the discovery of RNA interference (RNAi), together wi

Five years ago, shared e-scooters arrived in big Swedish cities almost overnight. Today, they are as debated, as they are a familiar sight of the city landscape. In his doctoral thesis, Phil Justice Flores has investigated why people use shared micromobility such as e-scooters and e-bikes. His research shows that for many people, shared electric scooters are used because they contribute to positiv

Nyligen lämnade socialtjänsten i Malmö på polisens begäran ut sekretessbelagda uppgifter om papperslösa familjer. Denna begäran var en del av polisens intensifierade arbete med att söka efter och avvisa personer som lever i papperslöshet. Således agerade Malmös socialtjänst som polisens förlängda arm.Från Socialhögskolans sida vill vi lyfta fram vikten av ett professionsetiskt perspektiv, vilket i

Vid besvär av bland annat oregelbunden hjärtrytm, yrsel eller svimning kan EKG behöva registreras under flera dygn – långtids-EKG – som sedan granskas för att hitta avvikelser i hjärtrytmen. Arbetet är både tids- och resurskrävande. I en stor internationell klinisk studie har forskare därför testat om AI kan ersätta människan för analys och bedöming av långtids-EKG. Resultatet: 14 gånger färre mis

Is it possible to conduct research on type 1 diabetes, type 2 diabetes and hair loss at the same time? Absolutely, says Pontus Dunér who after many years of secrecy can now lift the lid on and talk about his promising results. The common denominator is a protein that Pontus Dunér and his colleagues have worked on intensively in recent years to modify and break down into smaller active components,

The aggregation of the protein Amyloid-beta (Abeta) into plaques outside the nerve cells has been recognized in patients with Alzheimer’s disease since 1905. But eliminating the plaques has not helped patients so far. Still, Tomas Roos thinks that Abeta matters, but we may need to focus on the aggregates elsewhere. On February 17, he defends his thesis about prion-like proteins in neurodegeneratio

Huntington’s disease is hereditary, genetic and usually begins between the ages of 30 and 50. In Sweden, around 1,000 people have the diagnosis and several thousand live with the risk of getting the disease. Even more people have a connection to the disease as its symptoms also affect those close to the patient to a high degree. The disease leads to premature death and there are no treatments that

A considerable reduction in the availability of electricity is expected this winter. If the electricity available is less than the demand for electricity, this results in what is known as a power shortfall. This could lead to short power cuts at the University. There is now a Vice-Chancellor’s decision that clarifies duties and responsibilities within the University in the event of a power shortfa

Varför gör människor motstånd mot åtgärder som ska skydda dem mot klimatrisker? Denna fråga utforskas i en studie från Lunds universitet som kartlägger var, och i vilka sammanhang, olika grupper motsätter sig klimatanpassningar. – Klimatanpassning ses alltmer som något nödvändigt och bra, där brist på pengar eller kapacitet är det enda hindret för framgångsrika lösningar.
