Intensive efforts are being made in medical research to discover the genomic causes of undiagnosed hereditary diseases. Persistent work and new technology are providing answers to several previously unsolved, enigmatic neurological disorders. Spinocerebellar ataxia type 4 was one of these, but now a research team in Lund, Sweden, have identified the gene that is responsible. Almost half a million

– Gratis öppna jättekurser på nätet, så kallade MOOCs, kan bli dödsstöten för svenska lärosäten. Enda utvägen är att snabbt skapa framgångsrika svenska MOOCs menar LTH-professor Per Ödling. – Tyvärr tror jag vi är för sent ute. Amerikanerna har de starka varumärkena och försprånget – de kommer att slå ut oss. Per Ödling. Per Ödling var en av huvudtalarna på seminariet om MOOCs som Lunds universite

One result of climate change is that spring is arriving earlier. However, migratory birds are not keeping up with these developments and arrive too late for the peak in food availability when it is time for breeding. By getting the birds to fly a little further north, researchers in Lund, Sweden, and the Netherlands have observed that these birds can give their chicks a better start in life. Globa

Even though awareness of climate change is growing, it is not primarily environmental concern that drives consumers to choose plant-based foods — it’s the price tag. A new literature review from AgriFood Economics Centre and the Lund University School of Economics and Management (LUSEM) shows that price plays a decisive role when consumers opt for plant-based rather than animal-based products.

Market economics, not degrowth, will enable sustainable societies. For economist Fredrik N G Andersson the answer is crystal clear – researchers advocating for degrowth are wrong. “They miss the mark by attacking growth instead of the actual problem,” he says. The subject of degrowth awakes a lot of interest. Its critics are as vocal as its proponents. Fredrik N G Andersson, assistant professor at
