The Swedish government has tasked Stockholm University and the University of Gothenburg with developing a citizenship test — an assignment that has met resistance from both institutions. They argue that such a test is not based on scientific principles but is instead a political product. The government’s directive has brought the issue of academic freedom into focus, at a time when reports from th

Bees are usually considered to be the most efficient pollinators for crops, but a new international study shows that other insects are just as important. A variety of different insects are needed for our food supply. Several BECC researchers have provided data to the study. "We already know that honeybees and wild bees are of great importance to our food production. This study shows that other pol

20 år av mätningar är bara början. Långtidsmätningar som sträcker sig över flera årtionden är helt avgörande för att kunna förutse hur luftburna partiklar påverkar framtidens klimat menar lundaforskaren Erik Ahlberg. – Långtidsmätningar är viktiga för att få ett kvitto på att olika insatser för klimatet faktiskt fungerar.

Inom diabetesforskningen screenas personer som är i riskzonen för att utveckla typ 1-diabetes. Dagens metod innebär att det tas flera blodprov vid varje besök. Ett internationellt forskarlag har nu upptäckt att det går att följa upp risken för sjukdom med ett enkelt stick i fingret. Både barn och vuxna kan få typ 1-diabetes, som kräver behandling med insulin hela livet. Symtomen kan utvecklas unde

An international consensus report on diabetes identifies the potential for diabetes screening, better classification of type 2 diabetes, and biomarkers that can predict cardiovascular disease. The report also highlights that more evidence is needed before it is possible to provide individualised treatment to all patients. The report is based on a large collaboration between 28 universities worldwi

Science should be able to be reproduced, but in reality this is a step that is often overlooked. Researcher Burak Tunca at the School of Economics and Management sees several possible measures that could make research better – and more open. “Researchers should always pre-register their studies and be open with their data. That way we can avoid bias and hypotheses being changed during the course o

Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have found a new type of biomarker that can predict the risk of type 2 diabetes, by detecting epigenetic changes in specific genes through a simple blood test. “This could motivate a person at risk to change their lifestyle”, says Karl Bacos, researcher in epigenetics at Lund University. The results are published today in Nature Communications. Predicting t
