De senaste 10–15 åren har barnafödandet sjunkit trots högkonjunktur och låg arbetslöshet. Men att födelsetalen sjunker tillfälligt är varken nytt eller unikt. Det säger forskaren Maria Stanfors. Historiskt sett har barnafödandet varierat – mer i Sverige än i andra jämförbara länder – och det har funnits ett mycket tydligt samband mellan ekonomisk konjunktur och barnafödande. – Det föds fler barn n

Alzheimers sjukdom kännetecknas av onormal spridning och ansamling av proteinet tau i hjärnan. En internationell studie visar nu hur tau sprids enligt fyra distinkta mönster som leder till olika symtom med olika prognoser för de drabbade individerna. Studien publiceras i Nature Medicine. – Till skillnad mot hur vi hittills tolkat spridningen av tau i hjärnan, visar fynden från denna studie att tau

By studying identical twins, researchers from Lund University in Sweden have identified mechanisms that could be behind the development of type 2 diabetes. This may explain cases where one identical twin develops type 2 diabetes. The study involved 14 pairs of identical twins in Sweden and Denmark. One twin had type 2 diabetes and the other was healthy.“Twins are a good model for finding mechanism

Engagement with alternative health theories and a scepticism towards authorities, politicians and pharmaceutical companies seem to unite the heterogeneous group of vaccine sceptics. “Many of them are not afraid of becoming infected with infectious diseases because they are convinced it will not happen”, says ethnologist and media studies researcher Mia-Marie Hammarlin, who is in the early phase of

How should societies adapt to rising seas, floods, and other climate threats? These questions are explored in a new study by LUCSUS researchers. It reveals that the answer is broader than just improved policies – it's about rethinking the very role of law itself. Researchers Ebba Brink, Ana Maria Vargas Falla and Emily Boyd examine how socio-legal processes shape climate vulnerability and resistan

Ultrashort laser pulses - that are shorter than a millionth of a millionth of a second -have transformed fundamental science, engineering and medicine. Despite this, their ultrashort duration has made them elusive and difficult to measure. About ten years ago, researchers from Lund University and Porto University introduced a tool for measuring pulse duration of ultrafast lasers. The same team has
