Irene Margrethe Kaltenborn In KHM1 gallery IreneMargrethe Kaltenborn´s MFA exhibition Choreographies towards loss set the stage for the audience to enter artworks which echoed loss and a void, full of wonderment and poetics. The gallery was dimly lit and kept minimal, leaving room for the viewer to enter the web of interconnectedness between animals, humans and nature. What has the process b
Nicholas Loubere at the Centre for East and South-East Asian Studies, shares some reflections on the major achievements as well as the downsides of China’s reform period ahead of the upcoming conference “Assessing 40 Years of Reform and Opening in China” What have been the major changes in China since the reform and opening, both for society as a whole and for the Chinese people? Can you give any

Research in particle physics often relies on sizable, cutting-edge computing resources for analysing large datasets, producing simulation samples, or developing and running complex machine learning models. While particle physics has been a pioneer in dealing with many “big science” issues and raised the stakes in the Large Hadron Collider era,today it is by no means isolated. More and more researc

Three researchers joined the Wallenberg Centre for Molecular Medicine at Lund University (WCMM LU) during the spring. In total, there are now 24 research team leaders recruited to the WCMM at Lund University – 14 clinical researchers and 10 basic researchers. Together, they drive forward research within regenerative medicine and in a translational setting – from molecule to man. The three new rese

Following his graduation from the bachelor's programme in Economy and Society in 2023, Ondrej Gomola bid farewell to the halls of LUSEM and took a quick bike ride downtown Lund to continue his studies at the International Institute of Industrial Environmental Economics (IIIEE). His undergraduate studies in Economy and Society had deepened his interest in addressing global challenges and had grante

How should societies adapt to rising seas, floods, and other climate threats? These questions are explored in a new study by LUCSUS researchers. It reveals that the answer is broader than just improved policies – it's about rethinking the very role of law itself. Researchers Ebba Brink, Ana Maria Vargas Falla and Emily Boyd examine how socio-legal processes shape climate vulnerability and resistan

During spring, a faculty group has worked on developing alternatives for a new organisation for the Faculty's research infrastructure. Kajsa M Paulsson has led the work and tells more. Why does the Faculty want to reorganise the research infrastructure?"A large number of the Faculty's research infrastructures have expressed that they want more dialogue with the Faculty management and increased opp
A new app will make it easier for people on sick leave due to anxiety and depression to get back to work. In the project mWorks, Professor Ulrika Bejerholm and her research colleagues focus on what strengths, abilities and new strategies can help people on sick leave successfully transition back to working life. The research team wishes to move away from the current focus on diagnosis and disabili

Climate change, a growing population and increased urbanisation place great demands on our cities. Meeting these challenges requires collaboration to develop smart cities. But what does a smart city really mean and how do we create one?A smart city is a sustainable city. A city in which people want to live, where companies want to operate and which exploits resources in an optimal way. This includ

A warmer world affects health, jobs, migration and welfare. We can no longer talk about the climate as a separate issue, says sustainability professor Emily Boyd. – Climate change has long been seen as something separate from society. People often talk about negative effects on our natural environment rather than how a changed climate may affect our everyday lives. This means that many people, per

Antibodies are the body's superheroes, recognizing and eliminating disease-causing substances. By combining parts from antibodies, researchers at Lund University have designed a hybrid antibody that better stimulates the immune system against both the SARS-CoV-2 virus and streptococcal bacteria. Antibodies can be likened to keys, with antigens as the corresponding locks. Each antibody is uniquely

Gases used in anaesthesia are potent greenhouse gases, and their total global impact has not previously been known. A study published in The Lancet Planetary Health led by Lund University shows that greenhouse gas emissions from anaesthetic gases have decreased by 27% over the last ten years. By swapping out the anaesthetic gas with the highest climate impact, the climate impact of anaesthetic gas

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

In order to be able to prescribe the appropriate dose of physical activity to patients, healthcare professionals need to consider a range of individual factors. There is a need to facilitate the assessment of aerobic capacity i. e. maximal oxygen uptake capacity (VO2max), as well as to calculate the intensity of training according to the WHO recommendations for physical activity. Now, researchers
