För att uppnå Parisavtalets 1,5-gradersmål måste runt hälften av utsläppsminskningarna komma från minskad konsumtion. Detta framgår av det europeiska forskningsprojektet EU 1,5° Lifestyles. Enbart den gröna omställningen i industrin räcker inte för att nå klimatmålen. Forskningen visar hur Europas samhällen kan ställa om till hållbara livsstilar i linje med 1,5-gradersmålet och pekar på att det in

A key issue for achieving the 1.5-degree target is a reduction in consumption levels. Despite the fact that around half of the necessary emissions reductions must come from significant changes in consumption and in people's behavior, current climate policies focus mostly on technology and on the green industrial transition - which is important, but not sufficient.

Ett blodprov som tidigare visat sig ge lika bra resultat som ryggvätskeprov för att identifiera Alzheimers sjukdom har nu testats i den vanliga sjukvården. – Träffsäkerheten var omkring 90 procent även inom primärvården. Det här kan få stor betydelse för alla de som söker till vården med minnespåverkan och misstänkt alzheimer, säger forskarna bakom studien. Var femte kvinna och var tionde man utve

Genom att injicera en lösning av nanopartiklar runt hjärtat självmonteras en tillfällig hjärtstimulator, som med hjälp av extern spänningskälla kan korrigera hjärtarytmi vid akutlägen. Efter behandling försvinner elektroden spontant från kroppen. Studien är gjord på djur. Arytmi innebär att det uppstår störningar i hjärtats elektriska signaler och att det slår för snabbt, för långsamt eller oregel

I en infektion finns tiotusentals peptider som ger mängder av information om vilka bakterier som orsakat infektionen och hur allvarlig den är. Nu har ett forskarlag vid Lunds universitet kombinerat kliniska frågeställningar med matematiska metoder och därmed lyckats analysera peptiderna på ett systematiskt sätt. Det är ett vetenskapligt genombrott som kan förändra diagnostisering och behandling av
