Genom avancerade sedimentanalyser har ett forskarlag kartlagt europeiska klimatvariationer under de senaste 60 000 åren. Forskarna kan bland annat slå fast att det förekommit oförklarliga klimatsvängningar som varat mellan 20 och 150 år. I studien som publiceras i den vetenskapliga tidskriften Nature Geoscience kan forskarna presentera helt nya uppgifter om Europas historiska klimat. Tack vare sed

Genom analyser av borrkärnor från Grönland och Antarktis har ett forskarlag lett från Lunds universitet hittat spår av en extrem solstorm som inträffade för cirka 9 200 år sedan. Det som förbryllar forskarna är att stormen ägde rum under en av solens mer passiva faser, då man tidigare trott att jorden var mindre exponerad för sådana händelser. Solen är en förutsättning för allt liv på jorden. Men

Lund University School of Economics and Management (LUSEM) has now received its reaccreditation through both the European Quality Improvement System (EQUIS) and The Association of MBAs (AMBA). Thereby, the School holds its position in the ranks of top business schools worldwide awarded with a “Triple Crown”. The triple accreditation, or the Triple Crown, is the combination of accreditations held b

Europeiska forskningsrådet (ERC) är en viktig forskningsfinansiär i Europa som finansierar forskare med projekt som har potential att vara banbrytande inom alla vetenskapsområden. Som huvudansvarig för ett projekt har professor Martin Englund vid Lunds universitet haft förmånen att få sådan finansiering för en 5-årsperiod för ett projekt inom området artros. Meniskerna i knäet är två kilformade br

Lärare från Lunds universitets centrum för hållbarhetsstudier LUCSUS har för första gången hållit i en kurs för arkitektstudenter i Mumbai i Indien. ­Ambitionen är att hjälpa till att göra slumområden mer motståndskraftiga mot översvämningar och värmeböljor. – Det var en fantastisk möjlighet att få undervisa i ett annat land och att få reflektera över skillnaderna mellan LU och andra under­visning

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Do you leave work full of energy and excited about what the rest of the day has to offer? If not – maybe it is worth trying to improve recovery during the working day.  Lina Ejlertsson's thesis is about recovery of staff in one of the most stressful work environments – healthcare centres. She says we have a certain am

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. The more sugar we eat, the less vitamins and minerals we consume, new findings from Lund University in Sweden show. However, the researchers behind the study do not believe that their results alone are enough to make changes to current dietary recommendations. High sugar intake has been associated with numerous diseas

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Just like self-driving cars, we can expect autonomous ships to become more common in the coming years. However, two safety challenges which need to be solved along the way, and which are different for ships compared to cars, are navigation without GPS and remote control. In his research, Mårten Lager has developed use

More than half of teenage girls experienced heavy bleeding and 40 per cent had an iron deficiency. The research, led from Lund University in Sweden, also shows that young teenage girls who experience heavy menstrual bleeding – and are therefore at greater risk of iron deficiency – can be identified using a simple questionnaire. As many as half of the teenage girls in the study published in PLOS On

New blood tests for diagnosing Alzheimer’s disease are making early diagnosis increasingly feasible. However, the fact that the markers being measured change long before any symptoms develop represents a challenge. Research led by Lund University in Sweden shows that a previously unused blood marker, when combined with those markers already in use, can significantly reduce the risk of misleading d

Lewy body disease is the second most common neurodegenerative disease after Alzheimer's disease. A research group from Lund University has now shown that the disease can be detected before symptoms appear, using a spinal fluid test. The studies are published in Nature Medicine, where the researchers also demonstrate that reduced sense of smell is strongly linked to Lewy body disease even before ot

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have developed an algorithm that combines data from a simple blood test and brief memory tests, to predict with great accuracy who will develop Alzheimer's disease in the future. The findings are published in Nature Medicine. Approximately 20-30% of patients with Alzheimer's di

The Swedish Higher Education Authority (UKÄ) has produced statistics for international student mobility at undergraduate and graduate level for all Swedish higher education institutions during the academic year 2022/23. Lund University is high in a national comparison. UKÄ's report states that the pandemic led to a sharp decline in international student mobility in terms of both incoming and outgo

Delving into the realm where light and matter converge, Mattias Bertolino's embarks on a theoretical exploration of photoionization. Focusing on multiphoton ionization of noble gas atoms, using a mixture of extreme-ultraviolet and infrared light, he explores the intricate interplay between light and matter. He aims to improve our understanding of the fundamental interactions between light and matt

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. At the time of the atmospheric nuclear weapons testing in the 1950s and 1960s, the level of carbon-14 in the atmosphere increased dramatically. Now researchers from Lund University have developed a method for measuring the carbon-14 content in atherosclerotic plaques in patients. The measurements reveal how old and da

In a study led by Lund University and the Amsterdam University Medical Center, researchers used PET to analyse aggregates of tau pathology in more than 12,000 people from all over the world. The study – the largest ever of its kind – examines the connection between genetic predisposition, gender and age in relation to tau pathology in Alzheimer’s disease.
