Photo by Lukas Blazek on Unsplash As a Swedish university, Lund University needs to ensure that students with disabilities find themselves in a comparable situation with other students. Course coordinators or examiners may need to make adjustments so that the digital teaching and examination is accessible to students with a disability. Some students may have a disability that impairs working memor

An observational study from Lund University in Sweden examining sugar consumption has attracted considerable international attention. The study shows that sweetened beverages have a greater negative impact on health than other sources of sugar. They significantly increased the risk of ischaemic stroke, heart failure, atrial fibrillation and abdominal aortic aneurysm. Of the 70,000 Swedes who took

En tvåstegsmetod för att skilja godartade äggstocksförändringar från elakartad äggstockscancer har nu validerats på nästan 5000 patienter. Med hjälp av ultraljud och matematiska modeller, får läkaren hjälp att dela in patienterna i olika riskgrupper med förslag på åtgärder beroende på riskgrupp och prognos. Detta är ett stort steg framåt mot optimal vård av patienter med äggstockstumörer. Studien

Här ett referat från kongressen International Society of Pediatric and Adolescent Diabetes i Göteborg. Olika forskare ger sin syn på om typ 2 diabetes hos unga människor. Rapportör är barnläkaren Frida Sundberg, Göteborg. Den israeliska barnläkaren Ram Weiss hade fått i uppdrag att sammanfatta kunskapsläget om riskerna med typ2 diabetes hos ungdomar jämfört med typ 1 diabetes.Han började med att g

Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have developed an algorithm that combines data from a simple blood test and brief memory tests, to predict with great accuracy who will develop Alzheimer's disease in the future. The findings are published in Nature Medicine. Approximately 20–30% of patients with Alzheimer's disease are wrongly diagnosed within specialist healthcare, and diagnostic work-up

There is a lot happening at the moment within the University concerning LU’s engagement in the work environment and equal opportunities. It is time to elect health and safety representatives – a very significant role. We are also marking 150 years since women gained the right to study at university and highlighting the fantastic attendance when LU took part in Pride for the first time. Take the op

A risk assessment system developed by researchers at Lund University in Sweden shows which patients, with a certain type of streptococcal bacteria in the blood, need to be examined for a heart valve infection – a serious condition requiring prolonged medical treatment. “Our assessment system can help reduce unnecessary examinations of low-risk patients”, says Torgny Sunnerhagen, one of the researc

Congratulations to Jacob Vogel and Camila Consiglio who have been awarded grants to develop their research projects on Alzheimer's and fertility. Camila Consiglio's research focuses on infertility and the immune system that plays a central role in determining reproductive success. Jacob Vogel and his research team will develop computational simulations of Alzheimer’s disease enabling virtual exper

A new research project led by LUCSUS will examine immobility as an adaptation strategy. Through a novel research approach, and field work in different areas affected by sea level rise and erosion, it will shed light on the communities who are unable – or unwilling – to move despite negative effects on their environment. Average sea levels have swelled about 23 cm since 1880, with about 7 cm in the

As 2025 gets under way, the University, and I dare say the whole higher education sector, has got off to a flying start. The reason for this flying start is, of course, the Research and Innovation Bill that was presented just before Christmas and has since been analysed from all angles. The analysis will continue, as the parts that are still unclear take shape in the Spring Budget or in new direct

This Regional Outlook focuses on the prospect for Israeli and Palestinian peace activism and how, during times of pressure, solidarity groups redress their methods. In the aftermath of October 7th, with Israeli hostages still in captivity and ongoing war, destruction and violence in Gaza, prospects for future peaceful coexistence in the region seem more distant than ever. In conjunction, Hamas’ ha

Investigation of a metre-long front flipper, uniquely preserved with fossilized soft tissues, has revealed that the giant ichthyosaur Temnodontosaurus was equipped with flow control devices that likely served to suppress self-generated noise when foraging in dimly lit pelagic environments about 183 million years ago. Thus, this visually guided megapredator relied on underwater stealth—or ‘silent s

Researchers at Lund University have discovered how a hidden piece of DNA, known as a transposable element, disrupts normal gene function in a disease called X-Linked Dystonia-Parkinsonism (XDP). Published in Nature Structural and Molecular Biology, their findings uncover the epigenetic processes that lead to changes in gene expression linked to XDP, offering new insights into how this rare genetic

With 10,000 new cases a year, prostate cancer is the most common cancer type in Sweden. To create equal, accessible and high-quality prostate cancer care, Region Skåne has introduced Organised prostate cancer testing, OPT. "Anyone who wants to should be allowed to be tested for prostate cancer. Studies show that early detection lowers long-term mortality", says Anders Bjartell, one of Sweden’s lea

This Regional Outlook focuses on the role of satellite imagery in shaping our understanding of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the physical damage it has caused the landscape.  On 7 October 2023, Hamas carried out a large scale attack against Israel, causing over 1 000 fatalities, taking more than 200 hostages and firing thousands of rockets into Israeli territory.

When the American research field "Fear of Crime" was introduced in Sweden in the 1980s, it was translated "otrygghet", a word with a previously established meaning in Swedish. The meaning of the word "otrygghet" has since then changed significantly in Sweden. From being used to signify economic and materialist unpredictability, "otrygghet" has come to be used almost exclusively in a crime context.

The dissertation is called: Statistical Aspects of Group Dynamics – Multilevel Methods for Emergent Processes in Teams. She explains that the thesis develops new statistical methods to help researchers better capture how teams evolve. “They are not static entities: trust can build or erode, members can leave or join, and events can strengthen or disrupt collaboration. Understanding these dynamics
