Teori om hur samhället ska hantera miljöfrågor måste fördjupas. Annars riskerar hållbarhetsforskningen att leda till att komplexa ekosystem blir varor på en nyliberal global marknad eller att fattiga människor förlorar rätten till och makten över lokala naturresurser. Om resiliensteori används på ett sätt som förenklar sambanden mellan natur och samhälle, vilket är föremål för forskarnas studie, k

2060 sker varuleveranser i kommunen med spårvagn och små elfordon. Eller? I en ny poddserie som presenteras under Hållbarhetsveckan berättas en framtidssaga om hur Lund ställde om – och blev en klimatneutral stad. I  poddserien Lätt att göra rätt följer vi den fiktiva kulturjournalisten Johanna Rodner när hon år 2060 besöker Lunds nya stadsmuseum och dess stora utställning om klimatarbetet i stade

With 10,000 new cases a year, prostate cancer is the most common cancer type in Sweden. To create equal, accessible and high-quality prostate cancer care, Region Skåne has introduced Organised prostate cancer testing, OPT. "Anyone who wants to should be allowed to be tested for prostate cancer. Studies show that early detection lowers long-term mortality", says Anders Bjartell, one of Sweden’s lea

In Tanzania, girls on their period avoid going to school, something that affects their opportunities for education. A new study from LUCSUS shows that the menstrual cup could be a step towards better school attendance, and a life with more freedom. It could also play a part in reducing waste in the country. As a young woman in Tanzania, having your period is associated with great challenges, myths

Ice sheets, snow and the ocean as far as the eye can see. No shipping vessels or people in sight, and only polar bears for company. The icebreaker Oden sails between Svalbard and Greenland, and this spring, doctoral student Lovisa Nilsson joined the ship to study the transition from winter to summer in the Arctic, and how soot affects the melting of sea ice. For six weeks, the spaces onboard Oden

Although Lund University’s 350th anniversary celebrations are drawing to a close, some projects will live on, along with the working method known as the jubilee model. Carina Jensen, soon to step down from her role as jubilee coordinator, talks about Sunday’s big kick-off for the future, which is open to all. “It will start with an open house event in the main University building, celebrating the

Christina Isaxon has always been interested in how small particles in the air affect our health. As society’s use of nanomaterials increases, research questions about safety are becoming urgent. ‟We need to know more about the conditions in which nanoparticles can affect us and how we can safely handle these materials.” Her research is about understanding how nanoparticles are generated and releas

A project at Lund University in Sweden has trained an AI model to identify breast cancer patients who could be spared from axillary surgery. The model analyses previously unutilised information in mammograms and pinpoints with high accuracy the individual risk of metastasis in the armpit. A newly completed study shows that the model indicates that just over 40 per cent of today’s axillary surgery

Visible matter in the universe represents only five per cent of everything that exists. The rest is invisible dark matter and dark energy. Particle physicist Ruth Pöttgen is one of the Lund University researchers involved in the search for the mysterious dark matter of the universe. She is standing at her whiteboard in a small office at Fysicum. With the help of her pen, Ruth Pöttgen tries to pain

Att lagra solenergi i form av bränsle är något forskare hoppas ska kunna ersätta fossila drivmedel i framtiden. Ett forskarlag i Lund kan nu ha löst ett långvarigt problem som begränsat utvecklingen. Genom att visa hur solenergi kan utnyttjas mer effektivt i järnbaserade system öppnas möjligheten för billigare och mer hållbara solbränslen. – Vi kan nu se mekanismer som tidigare varit dolda, som gö

Photo: Markus Spiske on Unsplash The pandemic has made us test alternatives to our traditional exam methods, alternatives that work digitally and on remote. Some of these alternatives are worth keeping also when we head back to traditional, on campus, teaching. One thing we have learned the past years is that remote surveillance is problematic (no guarantee it works 100%) and limiting students’ ac

Tropisk trädgård och ibland en koala på en gren. Det är översättaren Hanna Löfgrens utsikt från sitt arbetsrum i Australien. På kvällen kan det bli en strand­promenad eller ett dopp. Att jobba på långdistans från Lund har sina fördelar i februari. Hanna Löfgren och hennes familj har precis flyttat tillbaka till sitt hus och sin by i Inverloch Australien efter ett år i Lund, där hon vikarierade som

I en ny registerstudie från Lunds universitet har forskarna studerat 4 207 barn till 2 380 fäder behandlade för testikelcancer. Resultaten i studien, som publiceras i PLOS Medicine, visar att själva cancerbehandlingen inte medför en ökad risk att få barn med missbildningar. Det är välkänt att behandling med medicinsk strålning och cytostatika (cellgifter) kan påverka fertiliteten hos män. Studier
