Mördarsnigel, mink, svartmunnad smörbult och nu senast lövplattmask och buxbomsmott – det är några av nytillskotten i svensk natur som ställer till med problem. Men det finns även svenska djur som orsakar problem i andra delar av världen. Biologen Lars Pettersson ger exempel. I takt med ökande globalisering forslas inte bara människor och varor runt jordklotet i allt större omfattning. Också växte

Photo: INGEMAR EDFALK/SVERIGES RIKSDAG The Sweden Democrats’ pivotal position in the Riksdag has not led to chaos and inefficiency, as many predicted after the last election. On the contrary, the parties have adapted and decisions are made through new coalitions and cross-party cooperation. However, there are other ca

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. 15 per cent of the population – almost one in seven Swedes – suffer from digestive problems in the form of bloating, abdominal pain, constipation and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

Facts and research must carry more weight when planning the greening of cities in the future. A new research article calls for a paradigm shift – from 'arbitrary decisions' to more evidence-based urban planning, where urban nature is managed as a resource for both people and biodiversity. Biodiversity is under pressure and many species are at risk of disappearing due to human activity. Research sh

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. The more sugar we eat, the less vitamins and minerals we consume, new findings from Lund University in Sweden show. However, the researchers behind the study do not believe that their results alone are enough to make changes to current dietary recommendations. High sugar intake has been associated with numerous diseas

When planning for food in times of crisis – what foodstuffs do we imagine? Many think of tin cans and freeze-dried food, but the fact is that if a crisis occurs, it is not stockpiled cans that will save us. Food preparedness is a subject being taken up by researchers from the Faculty of Engineering (LTH) at Almedalen Week, one of their reflections being  how local growing of crops that do not need

New blood tests for diagnosing Alzheimer’s disease are making early diagnosis increasingly feasible. However, the fact that the markers being measured change long before any symptoms develop represents a challenge. Research led by Lund University in Sweden shows that a previously unused blood marker, when combined with those markers already in use, can significantly reduce the risk of misleading d

More than half of teenage girls experienced heavy bleeding and 40 per cent had an iron deficiency. The research, led from Lund University in Sweden, also shows that young teenage girls who experience heavy menstrual bleeding – and are therefore at greater risk of iron deficiency – can be identified using a simple questionnaire. As many as half of the teenage girls in the study published in PLOS On
