En ny studie visar att svenska journalister saknar förtroende för rättsväsendets förmåga att skydda dem från trakasserier på nätet. Den främsta orsaken är rättssystemets tendens att bagatellisera skadorna som näthat orsakar. Oscar Björkenfeldt, doktorand vid Rättssociologiska institutionen, anser att rättsväsendet och journalister måste ändra attityd till brott på nätet. – Det finns ett akut behov

Doktoranden Heraclitos Muhire forskar om politiker som lämnat politiken och övergått till privata företag. Förflyttningar mellan näringslivet och politiken sker i dag nästan okontrollerat och konflikterna och konsekvenserna är understuderade. Kring valet 2014 märkte Heraclitos Muhire att det fanns en potentiell jävsituation då den avgående regeringen vid maktskiftet gick över till höga befattninga

Den 1 juni blev ett 70-tal kriminologistudenter formellt kandidater i kriminologi vid kriminologiprogrammets avslutningsceremoni. I en tid där universitetet står inför utmaningar som artificiell intelligens och ökat politiskt inflytande, framhöll ceremonin vikten av mänsklig expertis och akademisk frihet. Avslutningsceremonin för Kandidatprogrammet i kriminologi markerar övergången från kriminolog

Måndag den 12 juni knivhögg en kvinna i Ängelholm en för henne okänd tioårig flicka. Händelsen är mycket ovanlig. Brottslighet mot barn begås oftast av personer i närmiljön, säger Patrik Olsson, lektor vid Rättssociologiska institutionen, till Sveriges radio P4 Kristianstad. Trots att det är sällsynt att okända personer angriper barn får det omfattande konsekvenser på flera samhällsnivåer. – För o

Fredagen den 9 juni försvarade Marie Leth-Espensen sin avhandling "Animals and the Politics of Suffering: Essays on Law, Care and Interspecies Relations", som undersöker konsekvenserna av olika strategier för att hantera lantbruksdjurs lidande i Danmark. Ett återkommande tema iMarie Leth-Espensens forskning är de idéer som formar hur vi tänker kring omsorg för andra djur. Hon betonar vikten av att

A new study from Lund University in Sweden shows that small birds migrating from Scandinavia to Africa in the autumn occasionally fly as high as 4 000 metres above sea level - probably adjusting their flight to take advantage of favourable winds and different wind layers. This is the first time that researchers have tracked how high small birds fly all the way from Sweden to Africa. Previous studi

Children with allergies have a lower risk of developing complicated appendicitis, according to a new study from Lund University and Skåne University Hospital in Sweden. The findings, now published in JAMA Pediatrics, could pave the way for new diagnostic tools in the future. “In a study of all the children who underwent surgery for appendicitis in Lund, Sweden, over the span of a decade, we found

Researchers at Lund University in Sweden, have in collaboration with colleagues in Copenhagen and Singapore, mapped how the body’s own peptides act to reduce infection and inflammation by deactivating the toxic substances formed in the process. The study is published in Nature Communications and the researchers believe their discovery could lead to new drugs against infection and inflammation, for

Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have discovered a cytoskeleton which provides the structure for mitochondria, the cell’s energy producers. The skeleton is necessary for the function of the mitochondria, but the researchers also found that cancer cells utilise the skeleton to maintain their cellular respiratory ability – and thereby to survive. “The cytoskeleton we discovered in the mitoch

Do you eat a lot of chicken, pasta, cheese and oils? Or do you prefer yogurt and cereal, but stay away from coffee and meat? A unique population study from Lund University in Sweden has identified different food patterns - and found that some are healthier than others. The study did not look at specific foods and their effects, but rather at how different groups of people ate according to a number

Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have discovered a direct link between the protein aggregation in nerve cells that is typical for neurodegenerative diseases, and the regulation of gene expression in Huntington’s disease. The results pave the way for the development of new treatment strategies for diseases that involve impairment of the basic mechanism by which the body’s cells can break do

Today, Lund University handed over the remains of an Aboriginal man to representatives of the Australian government’s Indigenous Repatriation Programme. The event in Lund was attended by Australia’s Ambassador Jonathan Kenna. A solemn ceremony was held in connection with the handover. The remains have been part of Lund University’s collections since the 1890s, but following a decision by the Swedi

Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have developed a faster method to generate functional brain cells, called astrocytes, from embryonic stem cells. Astrocytes play a significant role in neurodegenerative diseases. The new method reduces the time required to produce the cells from months to two weeks, and the study has been published in Nature Methods. “This means that it is now easier than b

In many cases it is the colour of the prey that helps predatory birds to detect, pursue and capture them. In a new study, biologists at Lund University in Sweden show that the Harris’s hawk has the best colour vision of all animals investigated to date – and in certain situations, even better than humans. The findings may help to protect threatened birds of prey against hazards such as wind turbin

Cognitive scientists at Lund University and Karolinska Institutet in Sweden have demonstrated that experimentally induced changes in political attitudes can last over time. Notably, participants’ who verbally motivated these ”false attitudes” exhibited the largest changes. This is the first time a lasting effect of the choice blindness phenomenon has been observed. In the study, a total of 372 par

The way viruses inject their genome in cells affects the course of infection. Researchers at Lund University, Sweden, and the University of Illinois, USA, have shown that viruses that infect bacteria attack either in a synchronised or random fashion when injecting their DNA – something the researchers discovered had an impact on whether the virus killed the host cell or remained latent inside it.

Up to now, researchers have believed that birds stay at home and altruistically help raise younger siblings because this is the only way to pass on genes when you cannot breed yourself. But this idea is only partially true. A new study from Lund University in Sweden shows that birds benefit from being helpful because it also increases their chances of reproducing in the future. “The results show t
