Recently, a new instrument on the four-metre VISTA telescope at the European Southern Observatory in Chile captured its first starlight. This marks the start of a new era in astronomy, where researchers will map the sky in unprecedented detail. The instrument, called 4MOST (Multi-Object Spectroscopic Telescope), does not take ordinary images of the night sky. Instead, it collects spectra or colour

Perhaps not, argues Yulia Vakulenko. At least not when it comes to the delivery service needs and preferences of rural versus urban e-consumers in the age of consumer-centric supply chain management. The new age of consumer-centric supply chain management highlights the benefits of placing the consumer at the core of strategy development and operations design. Recent e-commerce shifts translate in

Researchers at Lund University have identified a previously unknown precursor stage of leukemia. The discovery may help explain why an especially aggressive form of blood cancer initiates already during fetal life. When we think of cancer, we usually imagine a disease that develops over many years in adults. But for one particular group of leukemia – acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) – it is quit

Jakten på att kunna kontrollera kvantfysikens märkvärdiga fenomen pågår världen över. Årets Nobelpris i fysik bidrar till att göra ämnet ännu hetare. Även vid Lunds universitet deltar man i att utforska kvanttillståndens okända och ibland hjärnskrynklande perspektiv. Fysikdocent Mathieu Gisselbrecht visar vägen ner i Laserlabbets källarkorridor på Fysicum. I ett par olika rum breder avancerad utru

En randomiserad klinisk studie ledd av forskare vid Lunds universitet har jämfört effekten av intravenös behandling med ketamin mot ECT-behandling vid svår depression. Resultaten stärker bilden av ketamin som en möjlig behandling, men visar också att ECT-behandling hjälper fler. Under senare år har ketamin seglat upp som en ny behandling, eftersom studier visat att det har en antidepressiv effekt.

”Ah, vi äter ute idag”. Sommar är för många förknippat med lata dagar med flödande spontanitet. Men för familjer med barn med ätsvårigheter består ”ledigheten” ofta av strategier för att få i barnet näring. Föräldrar till barn med ätsvårigheter upplever sig ofta stå ensamma, utan hjälp från vården och med omgivningens ständiga ifrågasättande. Logopeden och doktoranden Kajsa Lamm, har intervjuat tj

Metformin beskrivs ofta som en trotjänare för behandling av typ 2-diabetes, men alla blir inte hjälpta av läkemedlet. Forskare vid Lunds universitet har upptäckt en kombination av biomarkörer som kan förutsäga vilka personer som får nytta av behandlingen. Nu fortsätter arbetet med att bekräfta resultaten i en större patientgrupp, med målet att utveckla ett test som kan användas av sjukvården. Läke
