New book from Christer Eldh and Nilsson Fredrik about The Cultural Complexity of Service Organisation in the Öresund Region. Hospitality. The word steers our attention towards good food, excellent service and perhaps a nice place to rest. Sometimes it refers to the “DNA” or special spirit that characterises those who work in the tourism or hospitality industry. Hospitality carries a positive vibe

SWEAH-doktoranden Glenn Möllergren, Socialhögskolan i Lund, är i full gång med att intervjua äldre personer under sin stipendieresa i Rumänien.  Han har fått sin rumänska etikprövning godkänd och gör intervjuer med äldre som bor kvar i egna hemmet. De måste klara vardagen utan hjälp från kommunen, trots att behoven ofta är stora. Offentligt finansierad hemtjänst saknas i princip i landet.– Första

Ny teknik kan underlätta äldre personers aktivitet, men då måste de involveras i teknikutvecklingen. Det framgår i en ny avhandling av William Son Galanza, SWEAH-doktorand i forskargruppen Tillämpad gerontologi i Lund, som har tagit fram en AI-modell som kan kategorisera äldres vardagsaktiviteter. Den äldre befolkningen växer och teknikanvändningen ökar. – Teknik bidrar till bättre livskvalitet om

An international research project led from Lund University is now awarded 33 million SEK by the European Innovation Council, EIC Pathfinder. The idea behind the project is to use drugs to reprogram cancer cells into immune cells, in order to increase the body's natural anti-tumor response and fight cancer. And it is small molecules that will do the work. The research project that has received fund

How do heritability and the fetal environment affect the risk for the child to develop type 2 diabetes? This is a question that Rashmi Prasad studies in her research projects that that may lead to individualised prevention measures.

David Gisselsson Nord and Tony Ingesson both love spy novels and have a nerdy interest in history. Their shared curiosity resulted in an interdisciplinary collaboration about how it might be possible to inspire smarter cancer treatment with the help of methods from espionage and intelligence analysis. Tony Ingesson finds it fairly easy to show a bit of attitude in front of the camera. David Gissel

Breath-holding spells are common in young children and are benign. Yet children often undergo unnecessary diagnostic interventions when seeking medical care. This is because there are no national or international guidelines on how to assess children in these cases. A team of researchers at Lund University, Sweden has now proposed guidelines to reduce the number of emergency and unplanned medical v

Researchers have succeeded in restoring lost brain function in mouse models of stroke using small molecules that in the future could potentially be developed into a stroke therapy. “Communication between nerve cells in large parts of the brain changes after a stroke and we show that it can be partially restored with the treatment", says Tadeusz Wieloch, senior professor at Lund University who led

Intensive efforts are being made in medical research to discover the genomic causes of undiagnosed hereditary diseases. Persistent work and new technology are providing answers to several previously unsolved, enigmatic neurological disorders. Spinocerebellar ataxia type 4 was one of these, but now a research team in Lund, Sweden, have identified the gene that is responsible. Almost half a million

Through a simple, inexpensive five-minute test, one can obtain an initial indication of whether a child has ADHD or not. This is demonstrated by a research team at Lund University, connecting the changes in the cerebellum associated with ADHD to a finger-tapping test. The test can be used as a complement to existing diagnostic methods. ADHD is considered the most common neurodevelopmental disorder

The development of a new treatment strategy for bacterial infections and sepsis is being led by researchers at Lund University. In a study the researchers demonstrate how they, by mimicking a substance naturally present in the body, can neutralize toxic substances from bacteria and thereby mitigate harmful inflammation that could otherwise lead to sepsis. “Despite decades of research, there are cu

Aquaporins are proteins that regulate the flow of water in and out of cells. These proteins have been found to play a role in both cancer and type 2 diabetes. Now, a research group at Lund University has succeeded in finding a drug candidate that binds to the protein, something that has been shown to affect the growth capability of leukemia cells. The study is published in PNAS. Aquaporins are wat
