Swapping concrete and asphalt for trees, ponds and green roofs is an example of how cities can be adapted to cope with heavy rain and climate change. But time is running out. For nature-based solutions to have a global impact, we need to act fast, according to researchers. A late summer’s day in August 2014, 100 mm of rain fell over the course of a 24-hour period in the Sofielund area in Malmö. Ba

Kriget i Gaza har skapat konflikter på universitet i Sverige och i andra länder. Motsättningarna mellan demonstranter och universitetsledningar och mellan grupper av anställda lär ta tid att överbrygga. Vi har träffat både LU:s rektor och demonstranter från tältlägret i Lundagård. I LUM ger de sin syn på vägen framåt. Vi har också intervjuat Lundaforskare med vitt skilda specialiteter och frågat h

Ouyang Yuan defends her Ph.D. thesis on 14 October 2022. As a medical student with a longstanding interest in blood malignancies, her research has focused on better understanding the development of a specific type of blood cancer, acute myeloid leukemia (AML). The hope is that these findings will help lead to a better understanding of AML and future treatments that can one day prevent, delay, or c

Economist and researcher Andreas Bergh is closely involved in public debate. Few things make him really angry. One of them is stupidity. Like when the city of Malmö fails to create simple entry-level jobs because of unreasonable demands on people who want to start mobile food trucks. “That is how the sluggish Swedish labour market works. If we dared to shake up the regulations we would gain a lot

The war in Gaza has caused conflict at universities in Sweden and abroad. Overcoming the differences between protestors and university managements and within groups of employees is likely to take time. We met with both Lund University’s Vice-Chancellor and protestors from the encampment in Lundagård. In this edition of LUM, they share their visions of how to move forward. We have also interviewed

Säg ”Primula” och en del tänker på en blomma. Andra tänker på ett lönesystem vars användarvänlighet lämnar en del övrigt att önska. Men när systemet började utvecklas under 1990-talet var det supermodernt – och något som lärosätena själva tagit fram. Välkommen att följa med i den vindlande berättelsen om personal- och lönesystemet Primula. Vi har talat med en frustrerad forskare, en systemförvalta

Increased collaboration within the faculties and a general revitalisation.  This is already a clear result from the RQ20 research evaluation that was presented in March. “We have caught sight of each other” was a frequent comment heard in a round of telephone calls to the deans and research managers. Most of the faculties were encouraged to identify their strengths, combine their strengths and mak

Autoantikroppar som föregår typ 1 diabetes går att mäta när som helst i livet. Genom att titta på antalet antikroppar, vilka de är och i hur höga nivåer de finns, kan man tillsammans med den genetiska profilen göra en bedömning av risken för en individ att insjukna i typ 1 diabetes. Här skriver Cecilia Andersson, forskare på Lunds universitets Diabetscenter, själv om sitt avhandlingsarbete. Diabet
