Att våra äldreboenden drabbats hårt av coronapandemin beror på den allmänna smittspridningen i samhället. Men samhällets syn på äldre, nedprioriteringar och att anhöriga stängts ute har förvärrat lidandet och döden. Det säger äldreforskaren Håkan Jönson som tror att vi kommer se tillbaka på detta som en av vår tids största vårdskandaler. Kritiken mot Sveriges regioner var förödande under hösten 20

Är ökad polarisering enbart av ondo? Inte nödvändigtvis menar forskare som just nu studerar politisk polarisering på internet. De pekar också på avgörande skillnader mellan USA och Europa. Stormningen av Kapitolium, minskad tillit till politiker och myndigheter, ökad faktaresistens och filterbubblor – mycket tycks idag bero på en ökad politisk polarisering. Men finns det egentligen belägg för att

Nyinsvurne president Joe Biden rivstartade sin mandatperiod med att lansera en klimatplan. Den innebär bland annat att USA åter träder in i Parisavtalet och att den omdebatterade olje-pipelinen Keystone XL inte byggs. Hur bedömer klimatforskaren och statsvetaren Roger Hildingsson planen? – Den ser lovande ut, på flera fronter. På hemmaplan återupprättas den amerikanska klimatpolitiken efter Trumps

På samma sätt som viruset hittade och förvärrade oupptäckta svagheter i mänskliga kroppar så har pandemin hittat och avslöjat svagheter i länders politik och samhällsstrukturer. Det är en av slutsatserna när 59 forskare från 38 universitet gått samman för att jämföra hur coronakrisen hanteras i 16 länder. I studien delas länderna in i tre kategorier – kaosländer, kontrolländer och konsensus-länder

Psykoterapi mot panikångest ger goda resultat och effekten av behandlingen håller i sig. Det visar den största långtidsstudie som någonsin gjorts i Sverige. Två år efter behandling var 70 procent av patienterna tydligt förbättrade och 45 procent hade inga eller minimala symptom. Panikångest är en av de vanligaste anledningarna till psykisk ohälsa i Sverige. 2-3 procent av befolkningen har paniksyn

The increasing demand of minerals, oil, and agricultural goods have severe negative social and environmental impacts. The extraction of resources leads to land dispossession of small-scale farmers and indigenous communities. It also generates social and political conflicts at the local level. For decades large scale agri-food production and mineral extraction have caused severe social and environm

Researchers have identified the top 12 ways European cities have been able to curb car use. The most effective measure was applying a congestion charge, with the notable case of London, where city traffic dropped by 33% following the change. Most success stories involved both “carrots” to encourage sustainable mobility and “sticks” to restrict cars, according to the study. – Transport is a major s

To meet the climate crisis, we urgently need more integrative policy approaches that link inner and outer dimensions of climate change, states a newly released report co-authored by LUCSUS Professor Christine Wamsler. – Climate change is a physical reality, demanding urgent political, structural and practical solutions. But its inner dimension, overlooked entirely by mainstream approaches, is a cr

The agricultural sector and industrial food system is a major contributor to climate change, and biodiversity loss, and particularly vulnerable to its impacts. It is therefore essential to re-think how the agricultural systems can sequester more carbon, and simultaneously create vital ecosystems.

In a new research article, PhD student Kelly Dorkenoo, together with researcher Murray Scown, and Director Emily Boyd, examines disproportionality in loss and damage from climate change. She argues that disproportionality in loss and damage from climate change is fundamentally about equity and justice, but while it is central in L&D policy, it has been treated implicitly in research.
