A large-scale faeces and blood sample study indicates strong associations between gut bacteria and metabolites in the blood. Among other findings, the research team behind the study has identified new associations between a common type 2 diabetes drug and the gut microbiome. The study was led by researchers at Uppsala University and Lund University. The role of the gut microbiome in disease and he

It is not easy to be an urban planner. Cities must be built more densely because surrounding agricultural land and nature must be protected – while at the same time health requirements are high. Over a period of five years researchers at Lund University in Sweden, have closely studied densification plans in three cities and found keys to solving this difficult equation. In short, the solution is t

I takt med att marknaden för fossila bränslen sviktar storsatsar oljeindustrin på kemi- och plastindustrin i stället. Strategin tycks fungera: plastindustrin växer snabbare än den globala ekonomin. Mångmiljardbidrag från stater i Europa och USA liksom offentligt finansierade banker, i kombination med svag lagstiftning, pekas ut som orsaker till den snabba tillväxten. Även svenska exportkreditnämnd

I den politiska debatten förmedlas ofta bilden av klimatomställningen som en väg kantad av uppoffringar. Men flera forskare tecknar bilden av en vardag som också kan bli bättre än dagens. Vad som upplevs som bra och dåligt varierar från person till person och upplevelserna kan variera över tid. – Att något blir bättre eller sämre är ju ett subjektivt mått. Normer ändras över tid och det som upplev

Årets miljöredovisning visar flera ljusglimtar: många av hållbarhetsmålen uppnås, tågresandet ökar och miljökrav vid upphandlingar ökar. Samtidigt är klimatutsläppen på ungefär samma nivå och det finns fortsatta utmaningar med inköp kopplat till höga klimatavtryck, särskilt kopplat till fastigheter och laboratorieutrustning. Varje år skickar universitetet in en redovisning av vårt miljöledningsarb

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. After your PhD, the clock starts ticking fast. For a young researcher there are no guarantees that you will have a long career in research. Still, you have to give it your all, often while combining it with having small children. There is no time for you to draw up a plan B. In this equation, Pontus Nordenfelt from Fu

Plant protection products are used in agriculture for more predictable and better harvests. Honeybees and other flower-visiting insects are exposed to residues of these substances when they collect pollen and nectar in the landscape. According to a new study from the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU) and Lund University, pollen was found to contain high concentrations of many subst

Early diagnosis is key to receiving proper care and advancing research on future therapies for neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson’s and dementia with Lewy bodies. New research from Skåne University Hospital and Lund University shows that combining a simple smell test with advanced spinal fluid analysis can predict these diseases with high accuracy, while sparing nearly half of patients f

A former student had heard that our senior lecturer in statistics, Pierre Carbonnier was about to retire after this semester. Would we do a feature on him? The student remembered him fondly and added that his mother had also had Pierre as a teacher and thought he was pretty awesome. Few, if any statistics teachers can claim to have reached and inspired more students than Pierre Carbonnier, who has

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Death in the form of a skeleton with a scythe is a familiar figure of dread, but death and dying do not have to be frightening. “Death does not have to be marked by fear; it can just as often be characterised by calm and quiet. There can be a lot of joy even during the last days of a person’s life!” Carl Johan Furst.

Or that nearly three-quarters of all rare diseases are genetic diseases?

Two issues that have taken up a relatively large part of my time since I became pro vice-chancellor five years ago are the management of research data and IT security. Both were areas in which LU did not really live up to the expectations of a top 100 university. There are, naturally, many points of contact between the areas, and both require a larger element of university-wide solutions than what
