Denna artikel utforskar konservativ kristen transnationella förespråkare, som försvarar vad dess ledare och anhängare förstår som den "naturliga familjen" mot de upplevda farorna med "könsideologi", i syfte att rädda den västerländska civilisationen från överhängande undergång. Vi fokuserar på World Congress of Families (WCF) och undersöker hur den organiseras transnationellt. Vi bygger på interna

Intressegrupper och politiska partier är de främsta organisatoriska bärarna av medborgarnas preferenser till verkställande och lagstiftande politiska institutioner. Deras kombinerade effekt för medborgarrepresentation har först nyligen kommit i fokus. Vi tar itu med denna klyfta via en gränsöverskridande undersökning av intressegrupper, som inkluderar självplacering av grupper på vänster-höger och

Plast och andra petrokemikalier expanderar snabbt. Akademisk och politisk uppmärksamhet har fokuserat på konsumtion av plast, men i en ny Open Access-artikel med tidskriften Global Environmental Change, utforskar Jakob Skovgaard och hans medförfattare finansieringen av petrokemisk produktion. Ett nyckelresultat är att offentliga finanser spelar en viktig roll för att expandera petrokemisk produkti

A new project that aims to build motors made of proteins has received a EUR 10 million ERC Synergy Grant, and will be coordinated by Lund University in Sweden. The 2016 Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded to researchers who developed molecular machines, that is, molecules that convert light into energy, or energy into motion. The model for these tiny machines is found in cell biology, where molec

Insects have difficulties handling the higher temperatures brought on by climate change, and might risk overheating. The ability to reproduce is also strongly affected by rising temperatures, even in northern areas of the world, according to a new study from Lund University in Sweden. Insects cannot regulate their own body temperature, which is instead strongly influenced by the temperature in the

A cancer diagnosis often entails many hospital visits and intensive treatments that can be very tiring for the patient. In the early days of the Covid-19 pandemic, however, cancer patients were identified as an at-risk group, so forms of treatment were modified. Now a group of physicians at Lund University want to evaluate how these new forms of treatment were experienced by the patients themselve

Men perceive themselves as having less power in their private than in their public lives, a new study from Lund University has suggested. Furthermore, both men and women agree: power in your private life matters more than that in public life. Power is often associated with men who possess visible status and money. But it can also be exercised in one’s private life to initiate and relationships wit

The dance that binary stars do around each other offers new clues to the chemical evolution of our Galaxy, the Milky Way – so says a current research study. For the first time, researchers have identified the link between the orbiting times of certain binary stars and the amount of iron in in their interiors. Binary stars are systems containing two stars that orbit each other thanks to their mutua

Diabetes is currently treated using incretin hormones to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease and other medical issues that the illness can trigger. Now researchers from Lund University in Sweden have noted new links between these hormones and arteriosclerosis, and believe their discovery could be significant for treatment of diabetes in the future. The study is published in Diabetes Care. Wh

One percent of the world’s population accounts for more than half of the carbon dioxide emissions from passenger air travel. Thus, there is good reason to view air travel in a new light. It is actually an elitist activity, rather than what the aviation industry would like us to believe – that everyone flies. This is claimed by Stefan Gössling at Lund University and Linnaeus University in a new art

The Government has appointed Erik Renström as the vice-chancellor of Lund University for the term of office 2021–2026. Renström, a physician and professor of experimental endocrinology, has extensive academic experience. He is currently the dean of Lund University’s Faculty of Medicine. “It feels very exciting and a little solemn to be entrusted with the role of vice-chancellor. The positions brin

A new method that slowly releases drugs locally in the brain has been developed by researchers at Lund University in Sweden. The drug is encapsulated in nanoparticles and delivered to the brain tissue via flexible electrodes. The method has been tested on mice and published in the Journal of Nanobiotechnology among others, and was recently presented in a doctoral thesis. The brain is both our most

How do bees always find their way home, not to mention in a straight line? What is it about the insect brain that allows them to navigate so easily? Could we copy that function? A step in this direction has now been taken by a group of scientists in a project combining the fields of biology, physics, nanoscience and informatics. At first, the line looks like a jumble. It makes turns in all directi

The climate crisis has received less media coverage during the corona pandemic despite that many think the climate challenges demand equally urgent attention. During the coming two weeks the United Nations gather the world in the Climate Dialogues 2020 “to increase the momentum for greater climate ambition” in an online format. Our climate researcher Markku Rummukainen comments on the event. When

A new study from Lund University in Sweden shows that validated biomarkers can reveal an individual’s risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease. Using a model that combines the levels of two specific proteins in the blood of those with mild memory impairment, the researchers are able to predict the risk of developing Alzheimer’s. The researchers have also developed an app that doctors can use to give

Is Africa rising? That’s one of many questions covered in LUSEM’s newly launched open global online course (MOOC) – African development, from the past to the present. Taking on an economic history perspective of the continent, the course covers the past centuries – with an emphasis on the past hundred years. With more than two decades worth of research and fieldwork on Africa, Lund University Econ

So far, the way dolphins navigate, find food and socialise using sound signals has baffled researchers. Josefin Starkhammar, senior lecturer at the Division for Biomedical Engineering, together with colleagues, has now developed an algorithm which brings us closer to understanding the cetaceans’ phenomenal signalling system. In future, the new algorithm could be used to protect dolphins and to dev
