The LERU meetings for deans are a priority for social scientists and lawyers. These meetings have provided social scientists with new ways to approach the EU, and lawyers with doctoral student exchanges with other prestigious LERU universities. So says Ann-Katrin Bäcklund – dean at the Faculty of Social Sciences for more than six years –, and Mia Rönnmar, newly appointed dean of the Faculty of Law

Can fashion ever become sustainable? How do we transition to environmentally smart e-commerce? What role will universities play in future society? These are some of the subjects to be discussed during the research festival Our Future City on 7-10 June at Campus Helsingborg. The event is organised in collaboration with the daily newspapers Helsingborgs Dagblad. Our Future City can most simply be de

At what age are you considered old at work? Are you old when you are 48? Why do some people seem as if they never to want to retire, while others would not dream of working beyond 65? Kerstin Nilsson’s research concerns what makes us thrive at work and the factors that affect how long we are able, or want, to continue working. Retiring is a major life decision. It means going from one stage of lif

Villkorat socialbidrag har blivit det i särklass populäraste sättet att bekämpa fattigdom i utvecklingsländer. Särskilt i Latinamerika har man prioriterat den här typen av hjälpprogram. Men leder de till att fattigdomsspiralen bryts? Nej, för detta behövs andra mer omfattande insatser, menar sociologen Johan Sandberg som har studerat bidragets effekter. Den 10 april lägger han fram resultaten i en

En internationell kartläggning av blodsockernivåer hos personer med typ 1-diabetes visar att många patienter har höga blodsockernivåer mätt som långtidsvärdet HbA1c. Resultaten visar också att variationerna är stora mellan olika länder, att skillnaderna i olika åldersgrupper är betydande och att det går bäst går för de yngsta, de under 15 år. Forskarna hade satt långtidsblodsocker (HbA1c) vid 7,5

Under pandemins första år var det 19 procent fler bekräftade fall av covid-19 i Ronneby än i grannkommunen Karlshamn. Detta slog forskare vid Lunds universitet fast efter en epidemiologisk studie som slutfördes under hösten 2021. Samtidigt poängterar de att det inte går att påvisa att det är miljökatastrofen i Kallinge som är orsaken bakom. Nu inleds fler studier för att ta reda på mer. Det är sed

I Sverige drabbas drygt 4 000 personer varje år av malignt melanom. Sjukdomen är den allvarligaste formen av hudcancer och antalet fall ökar för varje år, vilket har gjort hudcancer till en av våra vanligaste cancerformer. Nu har ett forskarteam från Lunds universitet studerat ett protein som reglerar den gen som är kopplad till metastasering av malignt melanom. Under de senaste tio åren har nya b

All insects use vision to control their position in the air when they fly, but they also integrate information from other senses. Biologists at Lund University have now shown how hawkmoths use mechanosensors in their antennae to control fast flight manoeuvres. When the moths need to rapidly change direction and manoeuvre, for example to escape predators, their eyes are insufficient. Instead, the r

PhD candidate Heraclitos Muhire's research focuses on politicians leaving politics and joining private companies. Movements between business and politics are almost uncontrolled, and the conflicts and consequences are understudied. Around the 2014 elections, Heraclitos Muhire noticed a potential conflict of interest as the outgoing government moved into high-level positions in the same sectors whe

The most common analytical method within population genetics is deeply flawed, according to a new study from Lund University in Sweden. This may have led to incorrect results and misconceptions about ethnicity and genetic relationships. The method has been used in hundreds of thousands of studies, affecting results within medical genetics and even commercial ancestry tests. The study is published

In the wake of climate change and an increasingly warmer and drier climate, wildfires are becoming more common. In Ukraine, the war further increases the risk. Already in March this year, fires broke out around Chernobyl.

More focus on the institutional environment and less on individual researchers in the assessment of research misconduct – and protection for whistle-blowers should be increased. These are some new points in the revised code of conduct for research integrity – points developed in a process led by Göran Hermerén. The EU Commission is now launching the code as a benchmark for those applying for fundi

Hopefully, with the help of AI, they can connect a multitude of data that leads to new treatments for kidney cancer – that's at least what the researchers in the EU-project KATY envision.

Stephan Reber has been awarded an Ig Nobel Prize for Acoustics - for a 2015 study that involved an alligator inhaling helium. This was done to understand if crocodilians have resonances in their vocalizations, something that certain animals use to communicate body size. “I am extremely happy and grateful for this prize. As we all know, 2020 has been a year of bad news, so when I heard about this,
