CASE researchers Björn Slaug and Susanne Iwarsson have shown that their instrument for assessing accessibility in housing for the elderly also works in Japan - even though it was originally developed according to Swedish conditions. Swedish research contributes to improving public health in Japan.– Through long-term and careful work, we have been able to transfer it to a very different cultural co

How does migration and globalisation shape the lives of individuals in various countries and how does it affect the children of immigrants in terms of integration, identity, and cultural expressions? Do they themselves use the word integration? These questions occupy sociologist Dalia Abdelhady who is about to conclude a study of three populations in the US, in France and in Germany, based on thei

Den här artikeln är över 5 år gammal, och informationen kan därför vara inaktuell. Hon tycker om formler och molekyler, tycker om att loda djupt ned i de minsta detaljerna. Några gånger, och sannolikt blir det fler, har hon utsetts till ”veckans nörd” i forskargruppen. Men inte bara detaljerna, också det stora perspektivet finns där. - Ja, jag valde biomedicin för att jag tycker om naturvetenskap

The Pereira research group has previously shown that it is possible to reprogram human skin cells into dendritic cells that strengthen the immune system. However, the efficiency of these reprogrammed cells has been shown to be very low. New studies now indicate that there are ways to increase the efficiency of these reprogrammed cells by over 75%. These findings provide mechanistic insights into h

Supraledare är en hörnsten i bland annat kvantdatorer och partikeldetektorer. Ett vanligt problem är dock att effektiviteten försämras av olika störningar. Nu har forskare vid bland annat LTH genom högprecisionsmätningar kommit ett steg närmare en förklaring till vad det är som händer. Resultaten publiceras nu i Nature Physics. Supraledning är beroende av närvaron av elektroner bundna i så kallade
