Swedish manhood enters into crisis at irregular intervals; the male role may now be about to change once again in the aftermath of the #metoo protest. Gender historian Emma Severinsson hopes that the boys of today will learn to show feelings – and gender scholar Jens Rydström adds that men need to get better at talking about problems.

New research at Lund University shows that the biological parents’ genes affect the child's insulin function and capacity to regulate blood sugar levels and blood lipids in different ways. Such knowledge may be used to develop preventive treatments that reduce the child's risk of developing type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease.

The idea behind procurement is to guarantee the right product or service at the right price. But what happens when public procurements are consciously structured to avoid appeals – or are simply discontinued early?

Plastskatt, förbud mot engångsartiklar och alternativa material: att få bukt med plastnedskräpningen ligger högt på den politiska agendan. Men hur hanterar vi nanoplaster som kan tas upp av vattenlevande djur och människor?
