Infant mortality in Malawi is among the highest in the world. In a new EU-funded project, researchers from Lund, Cork and Oxford will develop new mobile technology to help health care staff in the country diagnose and treat serious diseases earlier and more effectively. In rural Malawi, aid organisations’ health care staff use a disease manual called IMCI, developed by the World Health Organisatio

What do you explore in your PhD-project?  I explore the role that Indigenous Traditional Knowledge (ITK) plays in the regulation of Wildlife consumption in the Colombian Amazon. This is quite interesting, and a key topic as there are around 65 indigenous ethnic groups living in the Colombian Amazon forest. Working, and learning with them, about sustainable use of this ecosystem, is without a doubt

Volcano or meteorite? Over the past 100 years, two different theories have been put forward to explain the formation of Lake Mien. However, researchers from Lund University can now definitively state in a new study that the lake in Småland was formed by a gigantic celestial object. It was long thought that the circular Lake Mien in southern Småland was the remains of a volcano. However, in 1910 th

They are called foraminifera and have lived in the world’s oceans for 545 million years. A research team has established in a new study that some species of this protist will probably cope swimmingly even in a climate-impacted future. This is due to their ability to respire nitrate. One consequence of climate change is higher water temperatures and reduced oxygen levels in the world’s oceans. This

In recent years, researchers have tried to capture the electrical current that bacteria generate through their own metabolism. So far, however, the transfer of the current from the bacteria to a receiving electrode has not been efficient at all. Now, researchers from institutions including Lund University have achieved a slightly more efficient transfer of electrical current. One of society’s grea
