You are at the shop to buy food for the weekend. The shop’s security guard is keeping a close eye on you and you start to get nervous. He approaches you and you feel that you are starting to break out in a sweat. What the heck does he really want? This is not happening for real. It is just a situation in a virtual world, tailor-made for violent criminals to train them to control their aggression.

The Research and Innovation Bill of December 2024 promised substantial new funding through a number of targeted calls for applications. At the same time, it was also decided that new core funding for research would be allocated to universities based on indicators, external grants received and the number of highly cited publications per institution. We are now beginning to see some of the results a

Just over two weeks after the climate summit in Egypt, the leaders of the world’s countries are meeting again, this time to address another acute crisis facing humanity – the loss of biodiversity. The issue is less well-known than the climate crisis and no framework corresponding to the Paris agreement is in place – something that many people hope the December summit in Montreal will rectify. It i

For a long time, there has been a lack of concentrated efforts among researchers focusing on taxation, but that is about to change. On June 5th, plans for a new Taxation Centre will be presented. "The idea of an interdisciplinary taxation centre and the need for it have existed for many years, and several of us researchers were given the opportunity to concretize our thoughts—especially regarding

Professors of literature Torbjörn Forslid and Anders Ohlsson helped bring the concept of shared reading to Sweden. They have now received funding from LU Innovation to develop and adapt it for use in upper-secondary schools. Shared reading is originally a British concept, which essentially involves a reading circle with reading aloud taking place in groups. When the group meets, the leader reads a

Primitiva spisar och dieselmotorer producerar sotpartiklar som inte bara är dåliga för vår hälsa utan också verkar negativt på klimatet. Genom att påverka atmosfärens förmåga att bilda molndroppar och ispartiklar kan sotpartiklarna rubba molnens strålningsbalans. Det menar doktoranden John Falk som är aktuell med en avhandling om hur förbränning påverkar molndropps- och ispartikelbildning i atmosf

På senare år har det gjorts stora framsteg i utvecklingen av nya framgångsrika immunterapier för att behandla cancer. Så kallad CAR-T-cellbehandling och behandling med antikroppar är två typer av målriktade immunterapier som har revolutionerat delar av cancervården. Men än kvarstår stora utmaningar med att identifiera proteiner på cancercellers yta som mål för immunterapier. En forskargrupp i Lund

En svensk multicenterstudie ledd av forskare vid Lunds universitet visar ett samband mellan låg fiberkonsumtion och förekomst av instabila högriskplack i kranskärlen, sådana som kan utlösa propp och orsaka hjärtinfarkt. Studien kopplar också kostmönstret till plackens sammansättning, alltså hur potentiellt farliga de är. Forskarna har med hjälp av avancerad hjärtavbildning, datortomografi, undersö

Professorn och melanomexperten Christian Ingvar har sett soltrender komma och gå. Personligen tar han lätt på ungdomstrenden med att ”maxa” solningen med hjälp av UV-appar. Men han är tydlig med sakfrågan: att bränna sig är skadligt, och svenskar måste behålla sin medvetenhet om nackdelar med solandet. Det farliga melanomet tror han är här för att stanna – men förhoppningsvis så tunt att det kan o
