Gabriel Börner preferred playing pinball to studying at upper secondary school and therefore failed to get into a medical programme. Today, he is a senior consultant in surgery at Helsingborg Hospital and a researcher at Lund University. He has invented a “sewing machine” to suture patient’s wounds after abdominal surgery. Although the journey there was longer than he could ever have imagined, he

How are social sustainability and human rights put into practice? In her thesis, Emelie Lantz has examined three collaborative projects in the city of Malmö. The findings show, amongst other things, how ‘project fatigue’ and imposed participation can arise in socio-economically disadvantaged neighbourhoods. The study also demonstrates how the pursuit of measurable targets can sometimes result in r

Death in the form of a skeleton with a scythe is a familiar figure of dread, but death and dying do not have to be frightening. “Death does not have to be marked by fear; it can just as often be characterised by calm and quiet. There can be a lot of joy even during the last days of a person’s life!” Carl Johan Furst.

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Despite creative efforts to tackle it, belief in conspiracy theories, alternative facts and fake news show no sign of abating. This is clearly a huge problem, as seen when it comes to climate change, vaccines and expertise in general – with anti-scientific attitudes increasingly influencing politics. So why can’t we s

New research supports the theory that certain viral infections are of importance in the development of type 1 diabetes. An international research team has discovered that young children with an increased genetic risk of type 1 diabetes had an increased risk of developing diabetes-related autoantibodies in connection with Covid-19 infection. Swedish children have contributed to the study which has

A new study from Lund University in Sweden raises questions about the efficacy of bariatric operations involving gastric bypass. The results show that the biggest metabolic changes happened directly after surgery. Just a year after the operation, the concentration of metabolites and fats had returned to almost the same levels as before the procedure. Previous research has shown that the majority

On 1 January 2020, a new law will come into force that means that cases concerning research misconduct are to be forwarded to a new national board exclusively dedicated to this. At Lund University, this will involve two or three current cases that will not be finalised in time.

For e-commerce companies, it is cheaper to throw away returned items rather than selling them again. In a new study, researchers at Lund University in Sweden interviewed members of the textile and electronics industries in Europe, hoping to better understand a problem that is snowballing, yet has been the subject of little research.

Despite harsher sentences and increased resources for the criminal justice system, research shows nothing to indicate that this leads to reduced criminality. “We wanted to problematise the notion that punishment is the best option,” says Tova Bennet, researcher in Criminal Law at Lund University. Over the past 15 years, tougher sentencing has been a popular tool in Swedish law and order politics.

Lund University’s researchers are good at applying for and obtaining external research grants. But many funding bodies require faculties and departments to co-fund research projects, something that is becoming a major financial challenge for the Faculty of Engineering (LTH) and others. “Of course there is a limit to what we can do,” says Magnus Genrup, head of the Department of Energy Sciences.
