Huminfra, Sweden’s national infrastructure for digital and experimental Humanities, consisting of 12 nodes, successfully met all its goals in 2024—the final year of its first funding period.First, the Huminfra website, https://www.huminfra.se/, which collates and links toSwedish digital and experimental research resources (instruments, tools, expertise, materials, training events) was further deve
Huminfra is a distributed national infrastructure led by Lund University, which brings together 12 nodes in the domains of digital and experimental Humanities. In its second year, 2023, Huminfra launched www.huminfra.se, a website which collates and links to Swedish digital and experimental research resources (instruments, tools, expertise, materials, and training events) drawing on an inventory m
BACKGROUND: Trace elements like iodine have been suggested to be associated with breast cancer due to their antioxidant properties and ecological differences in incidence and mortality. Yet, there are no epidemiological studies on breast cancer prognosis in relation to iodine levels. The primary aim of this study was to investigate the association between prediagnostic serum iodine levels and brea
Huminfra is a distributed national infrastructure led by Lund University, which brings together 12 nodes in the domains of digital and experimental Humanities. In its first year of existence, Huminfra has established an organisational management structure at multiple levels, drawn up policy documents, routines and workflows, and held consortium meetings as well as smaller more focused node meeting
At The Climate Show, we talk to leading experts on climate change law and politics. Through a series of conversations, we explore current developments in climate change research.
Bioenergy is perceived to play a vital role in climate mitigation, transition to renewable energy consumption, energy security, and local and rural socio-economic development. However, exploiting renewable bioenergy resources may need to be more sustainable in the current predominant paradigm. In this study, we raise two broad research questions: (1) what are the significant challenges to the curr
Denna studie undersöker hur Vattenhallen Science Center kan bidra till rekrytering till Lunds Tekniska Högskola (LTH) genom att väcka och utveckla ett långsiktigt intresse för STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics). Studien utgår från ett ASPIRES-inspirerat teoretiskt ramverk där begreppen STEM-identitet och vetenskapligt kapital samt unga människors aspirationer används för att a
There is a belief that the pace of society is accelerating due to digital technologies, but there is also concern that these technologies will replace care staff and negatively impact the quality of care for older people. In 2023, a Swedish municipality began offering video visits to homecare users, yet little is known about the implications of this digital technology on the perception of time. Th
Over the past decade, the field of Inner Transformation for Sustainability has grown into a substantial and influential body of knowledge, providing much of the scientific foundation for the Inner Development Goals (IDGs). In this conversation, Professor Christine Wamsler and Tomas Björkman reflect on the current state of the field. They emphasize that any meaningful application of the IDG Guide r
Background: Heating is a key challenge for Europe’s decarbonisation goals, accounting for a large share of energy use and emissions while shaping everyday life, comfort, and vulnerability. This article compares home heating transitions in Finland, Romania, Sweden, and the United Kingdom through an integrated framework combining energy democracy, energy citizenship, and energy justice. The study ex
Road verges can provide resources for pollinating insects, but it remains unclear if these resources are accessible to all species, or if some ecological traits can prevent certain species from using road verge habitats. We sampled wild bees and butterflies in 37 road verges in southern Sweden, with contrasting mowing regimes and along a gradient of traffic intensity. We compiled data on the pools
Drawing on social stratification and relative resource theory, and gender ideology theory, this article investigates how class and gender shape outsourcing domestic work patterns within the Swedish welfare state, a forerunner in terms of gender equality. Using full-population longitudinal administrative registers from 2007 to 2022, we include individual-level information on domestic outsourcing fo
Objectives To investigate how patients undergoing allo-HCT experience preparedness for self-care and the transition to post-hospital recovery, after using the Assessment of Rehabilitation Needs Checklist (ARNC) in combination with a conversation in a nurse-led intervention. Methods Patients were recruited between March and September 2023, at two allo-HCT centres in Sweden. A convergent parallel mi
Background: Previous studies on contact allergy to diabetes medical devices (MDs) are based on patients referred for patch testing due to suspected allergic contact dermatitis. Objectives: To present real-world data on contact allergy to MD allergens among diabetes MD users. To suggest a MD patch test series. Methods: Adults with type 1 diabetes using diabetes MDs followed up at two endocrinology
Purpose: To study the incidence and subtype of breast cancer in relation to incident and prevalent statin use in a contemporary Swedish prospective cohort, The Karolinska Mammography Project for Risk Prediction of Breast Cancer, KARMA. Methods: A total of 35,315 postmenopausal women attending mammography and included in the KARMA cohort (Jan 2011–March 2013) with data on statin use and potential c
Millimeter-wave Frequency-Modulated Continuous Wave (FMCW) radar enables non-contact heartbeat monitoring by sensing micrometer-level chest vibrations; however, its performance is often severely affected by non-stationary interferences such as electromagnetic pulses and involuntary limb micromovements. These interferences exhibit transient and non-stationary characteristics that are fundamentally
