I decennier har den svenska skogen brukats intensivt genom kalhyggen och trädplanteringar för att få ut så mycket virke som möjligt. Kultur och starka traditioner gör att skogsbrukare upplever att det är svårt att få kunskap om, och stöd, för andra skogsförvaltningsmetoder. Det menar forskare vid Lunds universitet som studerat hinder för ett hyggesfritt skogsbruk. –  Sverige har mest skog i hela E

EU har en övertro på hur snabbt gasberoendet kan minskas. Importstopp av metaller kan leda till att Kina tar viktiga marknadsandelar från väst. Den dyrare maten drabbar inte Sverige särskilt hårt. Och sänkt bensinskatt slår mot fattiga länder. André Månberger, som forskar om energisäkerhet, reder ut hur kriget i Ukraina påverkar tillgången och priserna på energi, metaller och andra råvaror. Dyrare

Researchers at Lund University have recently sought to shed more light on how normal hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) produce a vast variety of blood cells. Their latest findings, now out in Cell Reports this week, confirm the existence of a transition state as HSCs develop into functional blood cells and provide insights into how certain properties of HSCs are lost as these cells decide their fate

“When I see the ideal father role today, I see a copy of the motherhood myth.
