I slutet av 1990-talet sänktes blodsockergränsen för när diagnosen typ 2 diabetes ska ställas. Anledningen var att vården och behandlingen kommer för sent i sjukdomsprocessen, många hade redan komplikationer innan de fick diagnosen. Nu visar ny forskning från Norge att risken för hjärt- kärlsjukdom ökar även vid enbart ett måttligt förhöjt blodsocker, ett värde under gränsen för diabetes. Den nors

A new research paper by LUCSUS postdoc Felix Schulz examines German labour unions' visions and ideas for social change, and how these visions compare with proposals emerging from the post-growth discourse. German trade unions are deeply embedded in the country’s corporatist political system. They influence not only labour conditions through collective bargaining, but also public policy through ins

Belief in free markets and individualism may be holding back climate action globally. A new study finds that people who embrace neoliberal values are consistently less likely to support government-led environmental policies, no matter where they live. LUCSUS researcher Felix Schulz and his colleague, Christian Bretter of the University of Queensland, investigated how people's ideologies affect the

Why do some people strongly back climate action while others do not? A new international study by LUCSUS researcher Felix Schulz and Christian Bretter, University of Queensland, finds that the answer may be simpler than previously thought. The researchers analysed survey data from nearly 12,000 people across six countries. They discovered that three well-known explanations of environmental behavio
