Many of us have worked more remotely during the pandemic than we ever dreamed of doing. Informatics researcher Saonee Sarker has been studying IT-enabled collaboration and its impact on work-life balance for many years, but mainly with a focus on the IT sector. Today, she sees how that industry's digital settings has moved to encompass us all. The bookshelves in Saonee Sarker's office at the Schoo

Ett nytt antikroppstest vid covid-19 som utvecklats av forskare vid Lunds universitet har visat hög prestanda i kliniska tester och tillämpning. Antikropparna som mäts är kopplade till det så kallade spikeproteinet (S-protein) hos SARS-CoV-2-viruset som orsakar covid-19. Testet visar på 15 minuter om en person haft sjukdomen, oavsett om man haft symptom eller inte. Till skillnad från andra serolog

Både svensk och internationell lag står bakom kvinnors rätt att amma på offentlig plats. Ändå beskriver kvinnor hur de får ta emot påhopp och dömande blickar när de ammar utanför hemmet. En ny studie från Lunds universitet visar att samhället måste ge tydligare och uttalat stöd för offentlig amning - och välkomna amning oavsett plats. – Kvinnorna och barnen saknar tillgång till det offentliga rumm

En av de främsta fördelarna med att vara universitetslärare? Att handleda och se studenter växa i sin roll. Det tycker i alla fall redaktörerna till en nyutkommen bok. Detektiver med förstoringsglas och att fånga och tillaga en fisk. Det är några av metaforerna som universitetslektorerna Anna Jonsson och Olof Hallonsten använder sig av för att förklara relationen mellan handledare och student, res

My recent research trip to Amazon, Colombia was a stark reminder that sustainability science is as much about being at the forefront of knowledge as it is about physically visiting man-made frontiers and conflict areas. I think this has to do with the importance to connect with local communities and people and try to understand how they see the world, what problems they have identified and want a

In his doctoral thesis in sociology "Structures of subcontracting: Work organisation, control, and labour in the Swedish building sector", Rasmus Ahlstrand analyses the increased use of subcontractors and explores new forms of work organisation in the Swedish building sector.

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

Using magnetically controlled nanoparticles to force tumour cells to ‘self-destruct’ sounds like science fiction, but could be a future part of cancer treatment, according to research from Lund University in Sweden.

The more reputable the scientific journal, the more expensive it will be to publish an article with Open Access. Research publishers are riding the gravy train, but for the individual researcher the cost often comes as an unpleasant surprise, after they have spent all of their funding.

Sea urchins lack eyes, but can see with their tentacle-like tube feet instead, previous research has indicated. Now, researchers at Lund University in Sweden have tested their vision in a new study, and shown that while sea urchins have fairly low resolution vision - it is good enough to fulfil their basic needs. “Sea urchins are currently the only animals that have been shown to see without havin

Throughout life, our lungs are vital organs. For newborns as well as for elderly patients, there is a need for safe and continuous lung monitoring in the healthcare. Some of today's common methods of examining the lungs, such as X-rays and computed tomography are limiting since they can not be applied continuously and carry ionizing radiation. A new technology for clinical lung monitoring is now o

A combination of two imaging methods can be used to achieve structural and chemical information within a single neuron. Researchers from MultiPark at Lund University recently developed this approach. Their study reveals that amyloid aggregates, implicated in Alzheimer’s disease, may cause clustering of iron in primary neurons. Alzheimer's disease is a major cause of dementia.
