Ohövlighet på arbetsplatsen ska tas på största allvar. Det visar tre Lundapsykologer som låtit närmare 6000 personer svara på frågor om det sociala klimatet på arbetsplatsen. Deras studier visar att upplevd ohövlighet är en stark anledning till att man inte trivs på jobbet och att otrevlig jargong sprider sig om man inte gör något åt den. Ohövlighet på arbetsplatsen ska tas på största allvar. Det

Seminariet Human Diversity hålls på engelska den 7 november i Forum Medicum. Mycket hörvärt, enligt Intramed, som fick ett smakprov vid Forskningens dag. Professor Stefánsson kommer att dela med sig av sina insikter från sin mångåriga, världsledande genetiska forskning på Island.– Genetik är det enda sättet att systematiskt studera den mänskliga naturen. Så vi kom fram till att sättet att studera

Researchers have succeeded in restoring lost brain function in mouse models of stroke using small molecules that in the future could potentially be developed into a stroke recovery therapy. “Communication between nerve cells in large parts of the brain changes after a stroke and we show that it can be partially restored with the treatment”, says Tadeusz Wieloch, senior professor of neurobiology at

 A new study from Lund confirms that pesticides commonly used in farmland significantly harm bumblebees. Data from 106 sites across 8 European countries show that despite tightened pesticide regulations, more needs to be done.Despite claims of the world's most rigorous risk assessment process, the use of approved pesticides in European agricultural landscapes still negatively affects non-target or

Through analysis of high-resolution data from a ten-metre telescope in Hawaii, researchers at Lund University in Sweden have succeeded in generating new knowledge about three stars at the very heart of the Milky Way. The stars proved to be unusually young with a puzzling chemical composition that surprised the researchers. The study, which has been published in The Astrophysical Journal Letters, e

Lund University and Tetra Pak Processing are joining forces to build one of the largest precision fermentation research facilities in the Nordics. Microorganisms will be selected, fine-tuned and trained to convert inedible waste into food and materials for a growing population. The term “precision fermentation” is being used increasingly by biotechnology and food experts. As resources dwindle and

Do epigenetic changes cause type 2 diabetes, or do the changes occur only after a person has become ill? A new study by researchers at Lund University provides increased support for the idea that epigenetic changes can cause type 2 diabetes. The researchers behind the new findings published in Nature Communications now aim to develop methods for disease prevention. We inherit our genes from our pa

The development of a new treatment strategy for bacterial infections and sepsis is being led by researchers at Lund University. In a study the researchers demonstrate how they, by mimicking a substance naturally present in the body, can neutralize toxic substances from bacteria and thereby mitigate harmful inflammation that could otherwise lead to sepsis. “Despite decades of research, there are cu

An upcoming book featuring reproductions of artworks from the Ravensbrück concentration camp tells the story of the horrific reality its female inmates had to endure. The book has been published entirely thanks to private donations.  In spring 1945, around seven thousand women, survivors of the Nazi concentration camp in Ravensbrück, came to Sweden as part of a Swedish-Danish rescue operation.

Following the arrival of the first farmers in Scandinavia 5,900 years ago, the hunter-gatherer population was wiped out within a few generations, according to a new study from Lund University in Sweden, among others. The results, which are contrary to prevailing opinion, are based on DNA analysis of skeletons and teeth found in what is now Denmark. The extensive study has been published as four se

Our brains are "programmed" to learn more from people we like – and less from those we dislike. This has been shown by researchers in cognitive neuroscience in a series of experiments. Memory serves a vital function, enabling us to learn from new experiences and update existing knowledge. We learn both from individual experiences and from connecting them to draw new conclusions about the world. Th

Vegan food is often sidestepped due to its rubbery consistency. Food technology researchers at Lund University in Sweden have now developed a way to make vegan food more appetising by using new combinations of raw materials. So far, the research field for plant-based meat imitations, known as meat analogues, has been very small - but is now set to “explode”. The team at Lund is among those that ha

Recommendations from the WHO on limiting screen time for children under the age of five are almost impossible to follow, and risk causing unnecessary anxiety and stigmatisation of parents of young children. This according to a study from Lund University in Sweden on the digital media habits of young children. Instead, the researchers recommend that parents support their children by exploring digit
