Candy heaven or candy hell? Halloween consumption has gone rampant since we imported this tradition from the United States, and is expected to reach 1,6 billion SEK in 2024. In Sweden we used to just go to graveyards on All Hallows Eve and light candles in memory of loved ones that have passed, but starting in the 1990’s it has become a spectacle, with costumes, parties, ghostly decorations and tr

TEDDY-studien har bidragit till fördjupad kunskap om vad som händer före ett insjuknande i autoimmun diabetes (typ 1-diabetes) och visat att en maginfektion kan trigga igång celiaki. Nu har Lunds universitet fått drygt 40 miljoner kronor från amerikanska hälsovårdsministeriet NIH för att fortsätta med TEDDY-studien i ytterligare fem år. Forskarna i TEDDY-studien har en stor utmaning framför sig.-

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

Can a new neighbourhood be a spearhead for sustainability if it has a huge shopping mall at its heart? And to what extent can urban planning influence the way people live in an area? In her thesis, Agenda 2030 doctoral student Alva Zalar has examined Hyllie in southern Malmö from a norm-critical perspective that interweaves architecture and queer theory. In the early 2000s, the city of Malmö decid

Huntington’s disease is hereditary, genetic and usually begins between the ages of 30 and 50. In Sweden, around 1,000 people have the diagnosis and several thousand live with the risk of getting the disease. Even more people have a connection to the disease as its symptoms also affect those close to the patient to a high degree. The disease leads to premature death and there are no treatments that

Textile – a growing sustainability challengeWe are buying more clothes than ever before, but there is still no efficient system to close the material loop.

Emma Kritzberg tog tåget till ett möte på Mallorca. En resa som varade i 54 timmar och kostade mer än dubbelt så mycket som om hon valt att flyga till Medelhavsön på några timmar. Ändå var flyget aldrig ett alternativ. De senaste sex åren har hon varken flugit i tjänsten eller privat, ett medvetet beslut för att minimera klimat­påverkande utsläpp. Emma Kritzberg, professor vid Biologiska instituti
