The Faculty's pilot of transcription using the Whisper AI tool has worked very well, with many hundreds of hours of interview material transcribed so far. Until there is a university-wide solution, we are therefore continuing to offer the tool through the Department of Psychology. About the offerThe Department of Psychology has purchased a powerful computer to be used for transcribing audio and vi

Geologists at Lund University in Sweden have mapped 300 years of research on the prehistoric marine reptiles known as ichthyosaurs. Using a uniquely well-preserved fossil, the team has also created the scientifically most up-to-date reconstruction of an ichthyosaur currently available. Fish lizards, or ichthyosaurs, were a very successful group of animals that, much like today's whales, migrated f

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. In accidents or terror attacks which are suspected to involve radioactive substances, it can be difficult to determine whether people nearby have been exposed to radiation. But by analysing mobile phones and other objects which come in close contact with the body, it is possible to retrieve important information on ra

Clay is a material that has been used since ancient times for protecting, building and carrying things. If we learn more about how to change various properties of clays, such as through the addition of certain molecules or salts, we can use them for new and sustainable products in the fields of medicine, architecture and building materials. The strategic research area eSSENCE supports a new collab

Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have developed an algorithm that combines data from a simple blood test and brief memory tests, to predict with great accuracy who will develop Alzheimer's disease in the future. The findings are published in Nature Medicine. Approximately 20–30% of patients with Alzheimer's disease are wrongly diagnosed within specialist healthcare, and diagnostic work-up

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. A group of engineering students at Lund University in Sweden noticed that there were no vegan cake mixes available on the Swedish market. They set to work and came up with a dry mix that only requires the addition of oil and water. The final product contained no eggs or wheat flour, making it vegan as well as gluten-f

More than half of teenage girls experienced heavy bleeding and 40 per cent had an iron deficiency. The research, led from Lund University in Sweden, also shows that young teenage girls who experience heavy menstrual bleeding – and are therefore at greater risk of iron deficiency – can be identified using a simple questionnaire. As many as half of the teenage girls in the study published in PLOS On

One result of climate change is that spring is arriving earlier. However, migratory birds are not keeping up with these developments and arrive too late for the peak in food availability when it is time for breeding. By getting the birds to fly a little further north, researchers in Lund, Sweden, and the Netherlands have observed that these birds can give their chicks a better start in life. Globa

Iryna Tsunovska and Nataliia Kohutyuk from Ukraine are taking home many new insights on how they can contribute to the protection of human rights in their professional roles. They have just completed a training course at Lund University for young policymakers, public servants and civil society workers from selected countries in the Baltic Sea Region/EU Eastern Partnership.

There are currently a large number of newcomers in Sweden from countries such as Syria, Iraq and the Ukraine that hold highly interesting academic degrees. To benefit from their expertise, Lund University in cooperation with Folkuniversitetet are offering the programme Korta vägen (“The shortcut”) – a project funded by the Swedish Public Employment Service. On 8 September, some 80 academic newcome

On October 31st, representatives from across the globe will gather in Glasgow for two weeks to attend the UN climate change conference COP26. Expectations are high following last year's cancelled conference, and the IPCC report released in August. What can we expect from the meeting? Five Lund researchers give answers. How far do countries' climate ambitions go? As part of the Paris Agreement in 2

Artisanal interpretation of ceramics from the Bronze Age shows that a nine-year-old child could be a highly skilled artisan. This was one of the discoveries presented in a new thesis from Lund University. The thesis explores how an artisanal perspective can contribute to archaeology by providing new insights into arch

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. In Parkinson’s disease (PD), dopamine-producing nerve cells that control our movements waste away. Current treatments for PD therefore aim at restoring dopamine contents in the brain. In a new study from Lund University, researchers are attacking the problem from a different angle, through early activation of a protei

Opioids work against severe pain but the risks of side effects and addiction are high. In the USA alone, 26 people die every day from overdoses. Now researchers in an international collaboration have investigated how common opioid prescriptions are for osteoarthritis patients in Sweden. It emerged that every fourth patient was prescribed opioids at some point between November 2014 and October 2015

During the pandemic, physical summits were replaced by Zoom meetings, and global political leaders had to quickly adjust. How did they visually convey their status in this new world of digital diplomacy? A new study from Lund University in Sweden analysed over 50 photos from the first virtual G20 meeting in 2020. When political leaders meet, there is usually a strict protocol, and national attribu
