Den vanliga föreställningen att äldre generellt är teknikskeptiska utmanas i en ny avhandling. Tvärtom visar många äldre personer intresse, särskilt när tekniken upplevs som meningsfull, lätt att använda och relevant i vardagen. Men så väl yngre som äldre uttrycker oro för teknikens miljöpåverkan och kostnader. Det är inte åldern i sig som påverkar attityden till digital teknik, utan andra faktore

For several years, it has become increasingly clear that developments in tourism need to change direction and be done in a new, more sustainable way. To change the tourism industry, we need to understand it better in practice - how small tourism enterprises are run and developed. - A new way to approach tourism development and innovation is to focus on the individual and mundane aspect, says Stuar

Just over two weeks after the UN climate summit in Egypt, the leaders of the world’s countries are meeting again, this time to address another acute crisis facing humanity – the loss of biodiversity. The issue is less well-known than the climate crisis and no framework corresponding to the Paris agreement is in place – something that many people hope the December summit in Montreal will rectify.

Targeted missiles that can enter cancer cells and deliver lethal cell toxins without harming surrounding healthy tissue. This has been a long-standing vision in cancer research, but it has proved difficult to accomplish. A research group at Lund University in Sweden has now taken some crucial steps in this direction. “For several years, we tried to elucidate which target proteins on the cancer cel

The discussion on the University’s establishment in Science Village has continued this year, but with a new focus. During the year, the project group for Stage 2, following a proposal from the Light and materials profile area, analysed possible scopes, needs for laboratories and logistics. With the help of architects, an initial drawing has been produced of a building, which could be located next

International mentors welcome new students on the platform at Lund Central Station. They help with bags, lifts and loading luggage onto the bus that takes them on to the Ingvar Kamprad Design Centre (IKDC). On 12 January, 412 international students arrived for Spring Arrival Day with a packed welcome programme – this year with a special focus on recovery. More will arrive in the coming days, with

However, research shows this cannot be done reliably and should be avoided by serious corporations - as it does not generate any excess profit, according to two leading Lund University researchers in foreign exchange risk managemen

Earlier this fall, Milda Pucetaite was one of the 400 European researchers to receive an ERC Starting Grant for her project “Tracing single-cell scale chemical signalling between interacting soil fungi". As Milda is a member of BECC, we were curious to know a little bit more about her grant. The ERC Starting Grant is intended for early-career researchers and the only selection criterion is scienti

Solar energy stored in the form of fuel is something scientists hope could partially replace fossil fuels in the future. Researchers at Lund University in Sweden may have solved a long-standing problem that has hindered the development of sustainable solar fuels. If solar energy can be used more efficiently using iron-based systems, this could pave the way for cheaper solar fuels. “We can now see

Modern imaging techniques allows researchers to map the structure of the smallest components of cells, such as proteins. By understanding what proteins look like and how they interact with their surroundings, researchers can find keys to more effective drug therapies. In a study led from Lund University, researchers have mapped the structure of a channel in the cell membrane that regulates the tra

A hot topic among cancer researchers is vesicles, nanoparticles that flow in our veins in their billions and which have proven to hold information on the health status of the body. Now the hope is to be able to capture and decode the messages in the vesicles via a standard blood test. Thomas Laurell, professor of biom

Almost half of all dementia cases may be associated with modifiable factors such as smoking and high blood pressure. At the same time, some risk factors are built into our biology, such as age, sex, and genetics. But dementia is not a single disease, rather symptom of multiple underlying disorders. Therefore, risk factor profiles for various dementia subtypes are likely to vary. A new study highli

Lund University Virus Centre (LUVC) holds festive inauguration (May 27). There was no ribbon-cutting ceremony, but instead a symbolic demolition of a 3D-printed giant virus marked the official opening of the virus centre.Three deans—current and former—as well as professors who have succeeded one another at the Faculty of Medicine and played key roles in bringing LUVC to life, attended the ceremony

For a researcher to be successful, he or she not only needs to produce good research – it also has to gain exposure. However, there is competition for space in scientific and popular science journals. This has led to the growth of a grey area with unprofessional journals that take payment from researchers who want their work to appear. Kristoffer Holmqvist recommends the information on the Univers
