Kriget i Gaza har skapat konflikter på universitet i Sverige och i andra länder. Motsättningarna mellan demonstranter och universitetsledningar och mellan grupper av anställda lär ta tid att överbrygga. Vi har träffat både LU:s rektor och demonstranter från tältlägret i Lundagård. I LUM ger de sin syn på vägen framåt. Vi har också intervjuat Lundaforskare med vitt skilda specialiteter och frågat h

Increased temperatures in connection with climate change are now inspiring researchers at CASE to identify challenges and develop measures to mitigate and manage excessive heat. On March 19, they will meet in a workshop led by Andrew Karvonen, Professor of Urban Design and Planning at LTH. Since the massive heat wave in Europe in August 2003, researchers have been investigating how cities can impl

Engaging students during seminars is a common challenge for higher education teachers. Learning is always the outcome of the students’ activity, and teachers can only facilitate, encourage, hinder or discourage learning (Ambrose et al., 2010). Indeed, a seminar only works if participants are active and come prepared. However, students face different struggles when preparing for seminars. Micol Mie

A treatment that has reduced plaque development in animals has now been tested in people with psoriasis. Jan Nilsson at Lund University is one of the researchers behind the clinical study that showed a reduced inflammation of the coronary arteries, which in turn may reduce the risk of dying from a heart attack. People with diabetes may also benefit from the treatment in the future. Short facts abo

US cities facing sea level rise need to look beyond traditional strategies for managing issues such as critical erosion and coastal squeeze, according to new research from LUCSUS. Civil society initiatives must now play a crucial role in adapting society to climate change, researcher Chad Boda argues in his dissertation. Using the City of Flagler Beach in Florida as a case study, LUCSUS researcher

A changing climate means that citizens will have to take more action to safeguard their lives and property from extreme weather events. At the same time, there are great differences in people’s capacities and resources to do so. In a new PhD dissertation from LUCSUS, researcher Ebba Brink asserts that it is about time that the Swedish climate debate considers the role of individuals also when it c

Last month, Ella Quist defended her Ph.D. thesis. After beginning her research journey as a master’s student within our Ph.D. Preparatory Program, she dedicated the last several years to developing more efficient methods that can be used to generate functional and mature astrocytes for disease modeling of neurological disorders. In this interview, we learn more about her efforts to facilitate futu

– We have a moral responsibility to document loss of cultural heritage, indigenous and local knowledge, declining ecosystems and eroding sense of place, says LUCSUS post-doctoral fellow Guy Jackson. He has co-authored a literature review on non-economic loss and damage which highlights the need for more research on intangible cultural heritage, and how it connects to our physical surroundings, as

In this series, we continue our reporting on the timeline of surgical treatment of late stage osteoarthritis. Today we meet Sven, who has had problems with pain and limited mobility in one of his knees for several years. After visiting his primary care health center, Sven received physical therapy and has been doing exercises at home, carefully following instructions. He has also received several

There has been a fear that the swine flu vaccine, Pandemrix, would increase the risk of autoimmune diseases other than narcolepsy. However, a new study of children from Sweden and Finland shows that the vaccine increased neither the risk of developing autoantibodies against insulin-producing beta cells nor the occurrence of type 1 diabetes. “On the contrary, the risk was reduced among vaccinated c

Exporting the Swedish welfare model is not a good idea. At least not as a recipe for achieving a more sustainable society, says Professor Max Koch, manager of a research team that links the climate crisis with welfare. Sweden’s relatively low carbon emissions, despite a high gross domestic product, are partly due to the use of hydropower – a competitive advantage that cannot be exported. Professor

Can innovation strengthen research? Former NanoLund director Heiner Linke, professor of nanophysics and member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, achieved this by combining research and innovation. His own attitude towards utilisation and innovation has evolved from a sense of duty to passion: “Now I think it’s genuinely exciting.” Do you see increasing integration of innovation within rese

High spirits, a magnificently versatile show, and long beer queues, as Lund University staff and students celebrated the 350th anniversary with a big birthday bash. But the party came close to not being held on historic ground. Photo: Kennet Ruona.

Researchers at Lund University have designed a new bioink which allows small human-sized airways to be 3D-bioprinted with the help of patient cells for the first time. The 3D-printed constructs are biocompatible and support new blood vessel growth into the transplanted material. This is an important first step towards 3D-printing organs. The new study has been published in Advanced Materials. Chro
