Covid-19 turned parts of the ordinary research process upside down. Economist Erik Wengström is among those who have studied Swedes’ behaviour during the pandemic from the centre of events. But the current funding system risks putting a spanner in the works. His wish: for the faculty to have a quick source of money for highly topical research. “The pandemic has been an interesting time for researc

Fakta och forskning måste väga tyngre när framtidens städer planeras när det gäller grönska. En ny forskningsartikel efterlyser ett paradigmskifte – från ”godtyckliga beslut” till mer evidensbaserad stadsplanering, där stadens natur förvaltas som en resurs för både människa och biologisk mångfald. Den biologiska mångfalden är under press och många arter riskerar att försvinna som en följd av mänsk

Den här artikeln är över 5 år gammal, och informationen kan därför vara inaktuell. Inom lantbrukssektorn – den största arbetsgivaren för Afrikas fattiga – ägs och kontrolleras tillgångar som mark och boskap huvudsakligen av män. Det kan därför tyckas rimligt att många givare, stater och grupper i civilsamhället menar att en omfördelning av markägandet till kvinnor skulle innebära en stor förbättri

Den här artikeln är över 5 år gammal, och informationen kan därför vara inaktuell. Genom att övergå till resultatbaserade miljöersättningar sporras jordbrukare att utföra miljöåtgärder som gör mest miljönytta och inte, som idag, göra sådant som stör den ordinarie produktionen minst. Det kan till exempel handla om att placera så kallade skyddszoner på rätt ställen. Det menar William Sidemo Holm som

Kampen mot covid-19 pågår för fullt. I Lund arbetar forskarna på att identifiera en substans som skulle kunna användas för att förhindra virusinfektioner och därmed rädda liv. - Modellen har utvecklats tillsammans med våra samarbetspartners och kommer att fylla en viktig lucka inom screening av läkemedel för övre och lägre luftvägarna med mänskliga luftvägsceller, nu och i framtiden, säger biträda

Many of us have worked more remotely during the pandemic than we ever dreamed of doing. Informatics researcher Saonee Sarker has been studying IT-enabled collaboration and its impact on work-life balance for many years, but mainly with a focus on the IT sector. Today, she sees how that industry's digital settings has moved to encompass us all. The bookshelves in Saonee Sarker's office at the Schoo

The ground floor of the University Library will be refurbished and preparations will start in the summer. During the renovation, the public section will be emptied and the number of study places will be more than halved. If all goes according to plan, the University Library interior will be both better and more beautiful when all is complete in time for the start of the autumn semester 2024. There

Four hormone-producing cells were already known to exist in the islands, including the insulin cell. The ghrelin cell became the fifth such cell. “In the scientific world, the discovery of a new type of cell in

Perhaps we course lecturers can use digital technology to become better at giving feedback and providing a clearer structure to our courses? Maybe digitisation gives us a golden opportunity to rethink content, relevance and what we really want students to think about as they study?

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. The dream of finding the “diabetes gene” is dead. However, partly thanks to Leif Groop – professor and multiple award recipient for his ground-breaking research – we will look at type 2 diabetes in a whole new way in the future. He is now retiring, and in an interview with diabetesportalen.se he looks back on his even
