The occurrences around COVID-19 are dramatic and still at the end of 2021 the pandemic is still ongoing with strong impact on the ways of living of many. For the ones, not immediately struck by the virus or its’ chain reactions, life can be characterised by slowness. The catastrophic is lurking like an undertow running below the mundane. Beneath Mundania. Corona-time is a liminal state, a state of

Stefan Larsson, docent i teknologi och social förändring vid LTH, har fått 9,7 miljoner kronor för att under en fyraårsperiod undersöka hur offentliga förvaltningar kan införa AI-teknologi och automatiserat beslutsfattande utan att grundläggande rättigheter, god förvaltningssed och tilliten till offentliga institutioner äventyras.

For many years, a bottleneck in technological development has been how to get processors and memories to work faster together. Now, researchers at Lund University in Sweden have presented a new solution integrating a memory cell with a processor, which enables much faster calculations, as they happen in the memory circuit itself.

Mathematics Professor Kalle Åström studies the future of agriculture with the help of artificial intelligence (AI). He develops mathematical models to optimise harvests and contribute to climate-friendly agriculture. Artificial intelligence and agriculture may seem like two different worlds, but not for Kalle Åström. On the contrary, he sees synergies and is keen to bring the two together. The Pro

ALMEDALEN. Bristen på tillgänglig vårddata är ett hinder för att ta AI vidare in i hälso- och sjukvården. – Jag skulle vilja ha data från alla regioner. Det bästa vore om man på ett nationellt sätt kunde samla in data i ett register, säger Mattias Ohlsson, professor i beräkningsbiologi vid Lunds universitet. Läs mer på dagensmedicin.se.

Master's student Hannes Olsson is currently studying his last semester at the civil engineering programme of Industrial Management and Engineering at the Faculty of Engineering. He is studying a Master's in Supply Chain Management and did his degree project within Artificial Intelligence – without earlier knowledge in the field. Six months ago, Hannes was asked by his friend Joel from the Computer

For Marcus Ascard, the interest in artificial intelligence (AI) started in his early studies – he was fascinated by how a computer could play a computer game by itself. Today, the engineering student has gained working experience in artificial intelligence from two different companies, and pictures a future career within AI. Marcus is in his fifth and final year of the civil engineering program in

As the holiday season approaches, we would like to extend our warmest wishes to you all. After last year’s restrictive situation we are so happy to have been able to meet in person during 2022. Even so there are lessons to be learned and we are therefore staying partly with digital formats that work well. Here are some highlights from the past year: AI related Degree Project fairs both in Helsi

The first call for applications, Sustainable Idea Exploration, within the University’s Sustainability Fund opened during the autumn. The aim is to explore the innovative potential of sustainability-related research projects at an early stage. Four projects have now been granted funding. One of the projekts addresses text mining for environmental science and was applied for by Sonja Aits, Departmen

Patients are often asked to rate their feelings using a rating scale, when talking to psychologists or doctors about their mental health. This is currently how depression and anxiety are diagnosed. However, a new study from Lund University in Sweden shows that allowing patients to describe their experience using their own words - is potentially viewed as more precise and preferred by the patients.

Overexpression of the Parkinson-related protein, α-synuclein, leads to blood-brain barrier leakage and pericyte activation in mice. A study published in Scientific Reports identifies pericytes as potential target cells for early interventions. Parkinson’s disease is a movement disorder caused by the accumulation and aggregation of α-synuclein and degeneration of dopaminergic neurons. Disruption of
Researchers from Lund Stem Cell Center highlight the importance of controlling viral elements that reside in the genome and how their activation during development may contribute to brain disorders later in life. Around 10% of the human genome is composed of DNA sequences originating from viruses that infected our ancestors throughout the millions of years of our evolution. Under normal conditions

Alzheimer’s disease seems to progress faster in women than in men. The protein tau accumulates at a higher rate in women, according to research from Lund University in Sweden. The study was recently published in Brain. Over 30 million people suffer from Alzheimer’s disease worldwide, making it the most common form of dementia. Tau and beta-amyloid are two proteins known to aggregate and accumulate

In a collaborative study, with other European research groups, scientists from Lund University in Sweden have shed new light on how the protein aggregates that accumulate in the Parkinsonian brain may contribute to neuronal injury during disease progression. The study is published in Cell Reports. The brain is a complex organ composed of billions of neurons, whose proper function is dependent on a
