En arbetsterapeut och en civilingenjör. Med hjälp av luft­förflyttningar försöker de utveckla metoder för att amputerade ska kunna få tillbaka känsel i sina förlorade fingrar. Den största utmaningen för arbetsterapeut Ulrika Wijk, är att möta förväntningarna hos en nyligen amputerad ung person. Vara lyhörd för vad patienten behöver, men också få hen att förstå att en protes bara är ett hjälpmedel

Researchers at Lund University have discovered increased levels of a microRNA in type 2 diabetes, which has a negative effect on insulin secretion. Their experiments on human insulin producing cells in the pancreas also demonstrate that it is possible to increase the insulin secretion by reducing the levels of this microRNA. An important goal of the research is to develop new treatments for people

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. There is nothing to indicate that sexual harassment is more common at the University than in other workplaces. However, different relationships of a dependent nature complicate the situation, such as that between doctoral student and supervisor. Few people choose to report harassment.

Why do humans and other mammals have two kidneys, but only one heart and one brain? “Because the kidneys are so important, of course!” says Diana Karpman – partly joking and partly serious. As a consultant and professor in nephrology, she really does think these organs are among the most essential in the body. Diana K

I den politiska debatten förmedlas ofta bilden av klimatomställningen som en väg kantad av uppoffringar. Men flera forskare tecknar bilden av en vardag som också kan bli bättre än dagens. Vad som upplevs som bra och dåligt varierar från person till person och upplevelserna kan variera över tid. – Att något blir bättre eller sämre är ju ett subjektivt mått. Normer ändras över tid och det som upplev

Årets miljöredovisning visar flera ljusglimtar: många av hållbarhetsmålen uppnås, tågresandet ökar och miljökrav vid upphandlingar ökar. Samtidigt är klimatutsläppen på ungefär samma nivå och det finns fortsatta utmaningar med inköp kopplat till höga klimatavtryck, särskilt kopplat till fastigheter och laboratorieutrustning. Varje år skickar universitetet in en redovisning av vårt miljöledningsarb

I takt med att marknaden för fossila bränslen sviktar storsatsar oljeindustrin på kemi- och plastindustrin i stället. Strategin tycks fungera: plastindustrin växer snabbare än den globala ekonomin. Mångmiljardbidrag från stater i Europa och USA liksom offentligt finansierade banker, i kombination med svag lagstiftning, pekas ut som orsaker till den snabba tillväxten. Även svenska exportkreditnämnd
