Appen COVID Symptom Tracker ska inte blandas ihop med andra typer av appar som används i andra länder för smitt- eller kontaktspårning. Lunds universitet och forskningsprojektet som baseras på data insamlat via appen COVID Symptom Tracker har fått mycket uppmärksamhet i media sedan appens lansering i Sverige. På förekommen anledning vill vi klargöra att COVID Symptom Tracker bygger på den teknolog

119 000 personer har på torsdagen laddat ned och använt appen COVID Symptom Tracker. Appen används i en forskningsstudie på Lunds universitet för att förstå och kartlägga covid-19 i Sverige. - Våra preliminära beräkningar är att 1,5-3,5 procent av den svenska befolkningen i åldern 18-70 år just nu har en symtombild som överensstämmer med covid-19, vilket innebär att de sannolikt skulle få diagnose

Den 8 maj bytte appen namn från COVID Symptom Tracker till COVID Symptom Study. Samtidigt har innehållet i appen uppdaterats med fler frågor. Appen uppdateras med fler frågor utifrån ny forskning på symtom på covid-19. Uppdateringen kommer också att avhjälpa mindre tekniska problem. Det har sedan lanseringen funnits farhågor om att appen skulle användas för att spåra personer med hjälp av bluetoot

Nu presenterar forskare vid Lunds universitet de första nationella kartorna från COVID Symptom Study. Kartorna visar uppskattad aktuell andel av befolkningen med pågående symtomatisk covid-19-infektion i Sverige. Kartor som uppskattar förekomst av covid-19 över hela landet i den vuxna befolkningen (20-69 år), 10 maj 2020. De län där flest deltagare sannolikt har covid-19 är Stockholms, Södermanlan

In the past decade, knowledge of how lifestyle affects our genes, a research field called epigenetics, has grown exponentially. Researchers at the Lund University Diabetes Centre have summarised the state of scientific knowledge within epigenetics linked to obesity and type 2 diabetes in a review article published in the scientific journal Cell Metabolism. Epigenetic mechanisms (see fact box) cont

The most common form of childhood cancer is acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL). Researchers at Lund University in Sweden, in cooperation with Karolinska Institutet, SciLifeLab and the University of Cambridge, have now carried out the most extensive analysis to date of ALL at the protein level, by studying the activity in over 8 000 genes and proteins. The results show aberrant folding in the DNA

Indian women are younger and leaner than Swedish women when they develop gestational diabetes, a new study from Lund University shows. The researchers also found a gene that increases the risk of gestational diabetes in Swedish women, but which, on the contrary, turned out to have a protective effect in Indian women. Gestational diabetes is characterized by impaired insulin production and insulin

After a series of studies, researchers at Lund University in Sweden, together with colleagues in Italy, have shown that not only one part, but most parts of the brain can be involved in processing the signals that arise from touch. The results open the way for a new approach to how the brain’s network of neurons processes information, and thereby the mechanisms by which the brain works. The resear

The loss of animals, often due to unregulated or illegal hunting, has consequences for the carbon storage capacity of forests, yet this link is rarely mentioned in high-level climate policy discussions, according to a new study from Lund University in Sweden and the University of Copenhagen in Denmark. Many wildlife species play a key role in dispersing the seeds of tropical trees, particularly la

In recent years, it has become increasingly clear to researchers that the protein galectin-3 is involved in inflammatory diseases in the brain. A study led by researchers at Lund University in Sweden now shows the de facto key role played by the protein in Alzheimer’s disease. When the researchers shut off the gene that produces this protein in mice, the amount of Alzheimer’s plaque and the inflam

A European consortium, led from Lund University, is to receive SEK 50 million from the EU for research which is to develop our understanding of the functional mechanisms of the brain. The research project, called INTUITIVE, is one of the Innovative Training Networks within the framework of Horizon 2020. The aim of the project is to develop user interfaces based on touch that feel more intuitive th

The greatest threat to biodiversity today is different species losing their habitats. To reverse this trend will require action on many societal levels, and there are simple things you can do in your own garden to help, according to Lund University researchers Anna Persson and Caroline Isaksson. In many countries, factors such as large-scale agriculture and forestry, pesticides and paved urban are

Optic fiber broadband expansion could be reducing companies’ performance and turnover, according to a new study from Lund University in Sweden. The explanation proposed by the researchers is that the internet and smartphones are a distraction that reduces employee productivity, and blurs lines between personal and work-related internet use. The conclusion should be interpreted with caution, howeve

In a new study, Lund University economic historian Erik Bengtsson debunks the myth that Sweden was destined to become a social democratic country. Instead, he argues that it was actually against all odds, as Sweden in the early 1900s was one of the western world’s most unequal countries – and the least democratic in western Europe. Has Sweden always flown the flag for equality and welfare? No, tha
