I december samlades över 70 psykologer, psykoterapeuter, socionomer och forskare för symposiet Barn i relationellt laddade sammanhang. Under två intensiva dagar stod barns utveckling, röst och rättigheter i centrum – i mötet mellan forskning och klinisk praktik. Symposiet arrangerades av forskare inom utvecklingspsykologi vid Institutionen för psykologi, i samverkan med nätverket Barns röst, rätti

Vårt minne registrerar detaljer och upptäcker mönster i vardagen – ofta utan att vi tänker på det. Forskare vid Lunds universitet har för första gången lyckats visa att hjärnan i realtid gör båda sakerna samtidigt. För att undersöka detta användes vardagliga situationer från datorspelet The Sims för att förstå hur vi tar in information i verkliga livet. Vi förlitar oss på minnet varje dag. För att

Researchers in Lund, Copenhagen and Norwich have shown that harmful mutations present in the DNA play an important – yet neglected – role in the conservation and translocation programs of threatened species. “Many species are threatened by extinction, both locally and globally. For example, we have lost about ten vertebrate species in Sweden in the last century. However, all these species occur el

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Remember the periodic table from chemistry class in school? Researchers from Lund University in Sweden have presented fresh evidence that confirms the existence of a previously unknown chemical element. The new, super-heavy element has yet to be named.

For the first time, a unique study conducted at Lund University in Sweden has tracked the meteorite flux to Earth over the past 500 million years. Contrary to current theories, researchers have determined that major collisions in the asteroid belt have not generally affected the number of impacts with Earth to any great extent. Researchers have been studying geological series since the 19th centur

During the pandemic, the free COVID Symptom Study app has helped researchers understand the complexity and spread of the corona virus better. “The study has exceeded our expectations since its launch in Sweden in April 2020. Participants from all over Sweden got involved and many of them have spent one minute every day answering questions about their health”, says Maria Gomez, Professor of physiol

Lund University has been ranked 87th in the world, climbing 10 spots in the QS World University Rankings 2022. This makes Lund the top ranked university in Sweden, and one of two Swedish universities currently in the top 100. QS evaluates just over 1,600 of the world's universities and ranks 1,300 of them. In total, there are about 26,000 universities in the world. Lund University is therefore in

Universal school lunch programs make students healthier, and increase their lifetime income by 3%, according to a unique study from Lund University in Sweden published in The Review of Economic Studies. Health disparities arise early in life and play a major role in economic outcomes among adults. Yet there are few studies on the long-term effects of school-based nutrition policies aimed at counte

Since 2005, the guidelines for the care of unconscious cardiac arrest patients have been to cool the body temperature down to 33 degrees Celsius. A large, randomised clinical trial led by Lund University and Region Skåne in Sweden has shown that this treatment does not improve survival. The study is published in the New England Journal of Medicine. “These results will affect the current guidelines

“It’s 2050. Selma is dead. But before she is buried, she wants to talk to a person from 2021 and show them how, in Malmö, everything is possible. That person is you.” That is the dramatic beginning of a climate soundwalk that gives the listener the opportunity to imagine how Malmö, Sweden, might be affected by climate change over the coming 30 years.

Extreme differences in flight altitude between day and night may have been an undetected pattern amongst migratory birds – until now. The observation was made by researchers at Lund University in Sweden in a study of great snipes, where they also measured a new altitude record for migratory birds, irrespective of the species, reaching 8 700 metres. Great snipes are shorebirds that breed in Sweden,

When researchers at Lund University in Sweden performed advanced analyses of sputum from the airways of severely ill Covid-19 patients, they found high levels of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs). It is already a known fact that NETs can contribute to sputum thickness, severe sepsis-like inflammation and thrombosis. After being treated with an already existing drug, the NETs were dissolved and

To counter the effects of antibiotics, bacteria constantly evolve resistance mechanisms. In order to develop new antibiotics that could overcome the resistance, it is essential to understand its workings. Using so-called cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo-EM) researchers at Lund and Hamburg universities have uncovered the molecular details of an important antibiotic resistance mechanism. This is
Newborn babies are already being screened for mutations and genetic tests help families with hereditary breast cancer. Genomic-driven precision medicine (GDPM) is an emerging approach for disease treatment. Around 30 Swedish researchers suggest a direction forward in a review article in Journal of Internal Medicine (JIM). "At the moment newborns are screened for a small number of mutations. In the
