From a room in the University Building, via AF-borgen and today’s Centre for Languages and Literature, to the current premises at Geocentrum. From being a small part of the Department of History to becoming two distinct academic directions. The story of the Department of Geography is full of twists and chapters—now documented in a new book by Jonas Åkerman. There are two people who, between them,

Care and circular consumption, can they go hand in hand? For some, it’s what drives their consumption of items and clothes. Réka Tölg, a doctoral student at the Department of Service Studies, has recently published two papers on the topic of clothing consumption, circularity and care, one by herself and one with fellow Service Studies colleague Professor Christian Fuentes. These papers focus on ho

Välkomna till ett webbinarium som bjuder på forskning, nationella riktlinjer och en expertpanel med representanter från Sveriges Kommuner och Regioner och Socialstyrelsen. Mycket har hänt de senaste åren när det handlar om ett behov av stöd till unga vuxna med psykisk ohälsa. Trots en ökad oro för deras möjligheter att ta sig fram i studier och arbetsliv finns ofta en osäkerhet om vad man kan göra

In the wake of climate change and an increasingly warmer and drier climate, wildfires are becoming more common. In Ukraine, the war further increases the risk. Already in March this year, fires broke out around Chernobyl. CMES researcher Lina Eklund fears that a dry summer could lead to further fires with catastrophic humanitarian and environmental consequences. Physical geographer Lina Eklund, wh

I and many others are ambivalent when it comes to the ranking of the world’s universities. But Lund University has made the ranking lists and that does have an impact, at the very least for international marketing purposes. We must be active, rather than passive, in relation to the ranking bodies. Small margins can make a university climb or tumble down the lists, so there is a need to be modest w

Personer med ärftlig risk för fetma går ned lika mycket i vikt till följd av bättre kost, träning och viktminskingspreparat som resten av befolkningen, enligt en internationell studie som presenteras i The BTJ. - Det visar att livsstilen sannolikt har större betydelse för fetma än ärftligheten, säger professor Paul

Enhancing cancer treatment by improving how therapeutic nanoparticles enter and act within cells is a promising direction. Christelle Prinz and her team have shown that photothermal therapy is more effective when the nanoparticles target the endoplasmic reticulum, which is achieved by performing nanostraw injections. Gold nanoparticles, especially a type called AuSHINs, show great promise for trea

Thanks to the Gaia space telescope, scientists have discovered a black hole in the Milky Way. The object, Gaia BH3, is located in the Eagle constellation, less than 2 000 light years from the Sun. Lennart Lindegren, Professor Emeritus of Astronomy at the Department of Physics, who has worked for many years to develop the measurement methods used by Gaia, is delighted with the new space discovery.

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. The emergence and evolution of photosynthesis played a decisive role when life on earth began four billion years ago. In the past decade, some researchers have presented claims that quantum mechanical coherence plays an important role in this complex process. These ideas have now been critically evaluated in a study p

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. The events leading up to Cyprus gaining independence from Great Britain in 1960 were not the result of instrumental rational calculations, argues sociologist Chares Demetriou in a recently published paper. Instead, a complicated series of interactions between several actors clouded the colonizer's judgement, ultimatel
