Fiskar som visar mod i sin jakt på mat blir ofta själva föda åt rovdjur. Blygare individer överlever i högre utsträckning. Forskare i Lund har nu lyckats påvisa ett samband mellan djärva personlighetskaraktärer och risken att dödas av rovdjur i det vilda. Genom att märka mörtar, studera deras personligheter och sedan undersöka vilka individer som blir föda åt skarvar visar biologer vid Lunds unive

Sociologen Chares Demetriou som forskar om våldsdåd med politiska förtecken, menar att de senaste årens attacker som begåtts i namnet av IS eller Al Qaida skiljer sig på några viktiga punkter från annat politiskt våld. - Till skillnad från tidigare våldsdåd under 1900-talet så finns i det här fallet inte någon tydlig organisation bakom. Det finns alltså ingen ledare som ger en konkret order om att

Statliga utredningar har dåligt på fötterna när de pekar ut ett omfattande fusk inom den personliga assistansen. Både sittande och tidigare regeringar har baserat sin assistanspolitik på utredningar som saknar vetenskaplig grund. Det visar statsvetarna Niklas Altermark och Hampus Nilsson i en ny rapport från Lunds universitet. Under det senaste två åren har regeringen genomfört en rad förändringar

In patients with symptoms such as irregular heartbeats, dizziness, or fainting, or in individuals that physicians suspect may have atrial fibrillation, many days of ECGs may be required for diagnosis – “long-term ECG recordings”. These recordings must then undergo a time-consuming and human resource-intensive review to identify heart rhythm abnormalities. In a large international study, researcher

New research results now published from Lund University’s MASAI trial are even better than the initial findings from last year: AI-supported breast screening detected 29 per cent more cases of cancer compared with traditional screening. More invasive cancers were also clearly detected at an early stage using AI. Now the final part of the research study will focus on breast cancer missed by screeni

To most effectively deliver aid to alleviate poverty, you have to know where the people most in need are. In many countries, this is often done with household surveys. But these are usually infrequent and cover limited locations.Recent advances in artificial intelligence (AI) have created a step change in how to measure poverty and other human development indicators. Our team has used a type of AI
