LU managed the transition to digital teaching. But the spring Coronavirus crisis had a negative impact on students in Lund. They found the digital exams to be stressful and sometimes unfair. This is what emerges from the student unions’ surveys whose results have now been compiled. In late spring, seven students’ unions sent out seven somewhat different surveys. 1900 students responded. The questi

Ett tidigare okänt språk har hittats på Malackahalvön av lingvister vid Lunds universitet. Språket har fått namnet jedek. – Att dokumentera utrotningshotade minoritetsspråk som jedek är viktigt då det ger nya insikter om mänsklig kognition och kultur, säger Joanne Yager, doktorand i allmän språkvetenskap.

Kan insulin som intas i små doser via maten redan under småbarnsåren vänja immunsystemet vid insulin och därmed fördröja - eller förhindra - typ 1-diabetes? I POInT, en studie som startar i Skåne i höst, hoppas forskarna finna svaret. Nyfödda barn i Skåne med hög risk att drabbas av autoimmun diabetes (typ 1-diabetes) kan delta i studien. De skånska barnen är tillsammans med barn i Tyskland, Engla

Höga blodfettsnivåer av typen lipoprotein(a) hos personer med typ 1-diabetes innebär en ytterligare ökad risk att drabbas av hjärtkärlsjukdom, visar en studie från Karolinska Institutet som publiceras i den ansedda tidskriften Diabetes Care. Lipoprotein(a)-nivåer bör därför mätas hos patienter med typ 1-diabetes och vara en del i den totala riskbedömningen, menar forskarna. – Det finns i dag ingen

Brist på vitamin D är vanligt i alla åldersgrupper. Nu visar en undersökning att ju större vitaminbrist en ungdom har desto vanligare är det att de har allvarliga riskfaktorer för att senare i livet insjukna i diabetes och hjärt- kärlsjukdomar. Forskarna, bland annat från Johns Hopkins University i Baltimore, USA, som upptäckte det mycket starka sambandet mellan vitaminbristen och riskfaktorerna u
