This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Broke and depressed – that’s how doctoral students risk ending up if they don’t complete their studies in time. The Doctoral Student Ombudsman, Aleksandra Popvic, says supervisors and the University must take more responsibility for the structure of the thesis work, a view supported by a survey conducted by the Swedis

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

Effects of a warmer Arctic are not only negative for the climate, according to a new thesis from the Centre for Environmental and Climate Science at Lund University, Sweden. Modelling showed that moving the tree line upwards could increase carbon storage, as trees sequester more carbon in their biomass than tundra plants. But the results are uncertain. The Arctic – the area north of the Arctic Cir

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. 15 per cent of the population – almost one in seven Swedes – suffer from digestive problems in the form of bloating, abdominal pain, constipation and diarrhoea. But since these problems are not life-threatening, and the status of the digestive tract is low, medical researchers and funders have shown only moderate inte

Anorexia nervosa is a serious psychiatric disorder for which there are limited treatment options, and it has one of the highest mortality rates of any psychiatric diagnosis. A pilot study is now underway at Lund University in Sweden, where researchers are investigating whether psychedelic drugs have an effect on young patients with the disorder. Ward Five at the adult psychiatric clinic in Lund is

There is a large carton of chicken eggs on the bench in Sofie Mohlin's laboratory. They have been delivered during the morning and soon they will be placed in the 37-degree heat of the incubator so that the embryo can develop. Already 42 hours after fertilization, researchers can begin their experiments to study how neuroblastoma develops. Sofie Mohlin is an Associate Professor in Molecular Physio

That life is not fair is hardly news. But that inequalities are at risk of increasing as we seek to improve the health of the population is perhaps unexpected. Health economics is a way of evaluating the potential health benefits of different interventions, setting them against the economic cost and their impact on society. Over two million people in Sweden are currently living with cardiovascular

Årets prestigefulla Segerfalkföreläsning hålls av Eero Castrén, forskningsdirektor vid Centrum för neuroventenskap vid Helsingfors universitet. I sin forskning om hjärnans plasticitet har han funnit ledtrådar om vilka mekanismer i hjärnan som påverkas av antidepressiva läkemedel – och som kan besvara varför dessa mediciner fungerar.
