CMES researcher and physical geographer Lina Eklund is tracking the destruction of Gaza week by week using satellite images. Her analyses could be significant if, once the fighting between Israel and Hamas is over, questions of possible war crimes are raised at the International Court of Justice in The Hague.

Around the world, coastal communities are exposed to the impacts of climate change, for example sea level rise and coastal erosion. But local governments are often politically and economically constrained in their abilities to implement timely and needed adaptation measures. These constraints can restrict adaptation options to practices that are too little and too late, or even result in measures

Neuroblastom är en tumörsjukdom som främst drabbar små barn. Överlevnaden är den lägsta av alla barncancerformer. Nu har en forskargrupp vid Lunds universitet upptäckt att en specifik gen är kopplad till sämre prognos. Studien publiceras i tidskriften Science Advances. Varje år insjuknar runt tjugo barn i Sverige i tumörsjukdomen neuroblastom. Tumörerna växer i det sympatiska nervsystemet som börj

Julmusik är mer än bakgrundsljud till stök och mys. Från Mariah Careys smällkaramell ”All I Want for Christmas” till Whams förlorade kärlek i “Last Christmas” – varje låt bär på sin egen berättelse om varför just den hör julen till. – Julmusikens kraft ligger i dess förmåga att sätta oss i kontakt med våra känslor, från fest till eftertanke. Trots att vi kanske inte känner så i varuhuset när det d

What surprises a course participant from Africa on a short visit in Lund and to LUSEM? And what made the strongest impressions? Takes to bring back? And what about the group dynamic with new acquaintances from many different parts of the same continent? We are really curious about what happened during the fourth round of the course Innovation, Transformation and Resilience for Sustainable Developm

In the so far largest clinical study of the development of microbiomes, i.e. intestinal flora, in infants, researchers at the Baylor College of Medicine, USA, have found that development takes place in different phases that can be associated with lifestyle changes during the early stages in life. The findings are based on samples from the TEDDY study and are published in two articles in the scient

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

Lewy body disease is the second most common neurodegenerative disease after Alzheimer's disease. A research group from Lund University has now shown that the disease can be detected before symptoms appear, using a spinal fluid test. The studies are published in Nature Medicine, where the researchers also demonstrate that reduced sense of smell is strongly linked to Lewy body disease even before ot

Fetmakirurgi har visat sig ha positiva effekter inte bara på vikten utan på diabetes och hjärtsjukdomar. De goda hälsoeffekterna orsakas inte av en förminskad magsäck, utan av att operationerna leder till ökade gallsyranivåer i blodcirkulationen. Det visar försök på möss. Det visar forskare vid Sahlgrenska akademin och University of Cincinnati, som i en studie i Nature konstaterar att gallsyrasign

Genom avancerade sedimentanalyser har ett forskarlag kartlagt europeiska klimatvariationer under de senaste 60 000 åren. Forskarna kan bland annat slå fast att det förekommit oförklarliga klimatsvängningar som varat mellan 20 och 150 år. I studien som publiceras i den vetenskapliga tidskriften Nature Geoscience kan forskarna presentera helt nya uppgifter om Europas historiska klimat. Tack vare sed

Genom analyser av borrkärnor från Grönland och Antarktis har ett forskarlag lett från Lunds universitet hittat spår av en extrem solstorm som inträffade för cirka 9 200 år sedan. Det som förbryllar forskarna är att stormen ägde rum under en av solens mer passiva faser, då man tidigare trott att jorden var mindre exponerad för sådana händelser. Solen är en förutsättning för allt liv på jorden. Men
