Geologists at Lund University in Sweden have mapped 300 years of research on the prehistoric marine reptiles known as ichthyosaurs. Using a uniquely well-preserved fossil, the team has also created the scientifically most up-to-date reconstruction of an ichthyosaur currently available. Fish lizards, or ichthyosaurs, were a very successful group of animals that, much like today's whales, migrated f

Ny forskning bekräftar att förändrad användning av sociala medier främjar psykisk hälsa. Försökspersoner som minskade sin sociala mediekonsumtion till en halvtimme om dagen upplevde ökat välmående och självkänsla. Men även de som gick från att vara aktiva användare till mer passiva "scrollare" kunde rapportera hälsoeffekter som förbättrat fokus och koncentration i vardagen. Forskarna vid Instituti

AbstractThis article takes as its point of departure the postcolonial understanding of the nation as a subject constructed through the colonial encounter. It argues that at the core of both colonial and postcolonial subject formations lies a desire for reconstructing a homogeneous nation that fulfils a ‘hunger for certainty’. The use of the term ‘hunger for certainty’ testifies to the emotional as

What jobs will we do in the future? And who will work? Research shows that half of today’s jobs will not be necessary in 20 years’ time. Questions about unemployment and the future job market have been discussed at several different university events in recent months, most recently at Debatt i Lund. In early June, politicians, entrepreneurs and researchers gathered for the Innovation for Jobs conf

BIBSAM-konsortiet – framtida kostnadsfördelningBIBSAM har släppt en studie om förändringar i den nationella finansieringsmodellen som övergången från läs- och publiceringsavtal kommer att medföra. Sammanfattningsvis så kommer kostnaderna att öka för forskningstunga lärosäten och minska för mindre där undervisning dominerar. Studien är tänkt att fungera som ett underlag i framtida strategiska disku

The Government has granted the Nation Property Board’s (SVF) request for SEK 55 million for project planning relating to the renovation and development of the Main University Building. The project planning will result in a plan for a thorough renovation and development of the Main University Building and at the same time retain and reclaim as much as possible of the Main University Building’s cult

The use of technologies to support teaching was essential during the pandemic. But what can they do to support education at a campus university in ‘normal’ times? Here are four reasons why the university might want to plan strategically for the use of digital learning to enhance campus experiences.

I takt med en ökande resistens mot befintliga antibiotika krävs nya angreppssätt vid svåra bakterieinfektioner. Nu har forskare vid Lunds universitet tillsammans med forskare vid University of Massachusetts Medical School (UMMS) i USA undersökt ett sådant alternativ. – Vi kunde visa att ett skräddarsytt protein som tidigare fungerat mot olika sorters gramnegativa bakterier, även har goda resultat

Går det att förbättra antikropparna som kroppen tillverkar för att bekämpa SARS-CoV2? I en studie som publiceras i PNAS och som letts av forskare från Lunds universitet, har man undersökt detta genom att designa om antikroppar och kombinera dem mot viruset. De modifierade antikropparna har testats i möss och med mänskliga celler. Många av de antikroppar som använts för att behandla covid-infektion

In their quest to find new and better methods to make cancer cells more susceptible to treatment, Karin Lindkvist and her research group at Lund University in Sweden are looking into the world of molecules, using the X-rays at the MAX IV laboratory. The researchers believe that limiting the cells' access to sugar will make cancer cells more sensitive to treatment. Karin Lindkvist in the laboratory

Is it possible to improve the antibodies that the body produces to fight SARS-CoV2? In a study led by researchers from Lund University in Sweden, this was investigated by redesigning antibodies and combining them against the virus. The modified antibodies have been tested in human cells and with mice. Many antibodies used to treat covid infection during the pandemic have been so-called neutralizin
