The children are poor, the problems are extensive and school resources are minimal. However, in the midst of the poverty, there is pride and a strong sense that it is possible to change the situation for these schoolchildren. LUM has met alumni in South Africa and Malawi from the Sida programme ‘Child Rights, Classroom and School Management’. Headmistress Amelia Nthokgoane Mofokeng changed her who

With VR goggles and a manual control, Elisabeth Dalholm Hornyánszky is wandering on a summer beach and in a flowering garden. She takes a boat trip on a calming expanse of water and meets butterflies on a rolling field. “Goodness, how close that butterfly is! Can I open the gate?” Her spontaneous outbursts and observations make us share her experiences even though we are not really part of them. U

Five years after the opening of the prestigious Wallenberg Centre for Molecular Medicine, nothing has turned out as planned. The “tandem pairs” that were supposed to develop research together are now cheating on each other with other researchers. Private and work life have become intertwined and families often barbecue together. It’s a cold Sunday afternoon and the ground is covered in a thin laye

At the Academy of Music in Malmö, Peter Spissky from Czechoslovakia found an opportunity to develop his interest in baroque music – a genre that didn’t suit the political system in his homeland. Through his research on how gestures taken from speech, acting and dance can be compressed into the movement of the bow, he hopes to come closer to the lively, vibrant playing that is at the heart of the g

How much water do we need to drink to stay healthy? How do different diets affect our metabolism? Studies of various hormones in the body are providing diabetes researchers with new answers to these questions.

For decades, the Swedish forest have been intensely managed through clear-cutting and tree planting to maximize wood production. This type of management has created a strong culture and tradition where foresters feel that it is difficult to gain knowledge about, and support for, other forest management methods, for instance continuous cover forestry. This is according to researchers at LUCSUS who
