Artisanal interpretation of ceramics from the Bronze Age shows that a nine-year-old child could be a highly skilled artisan. This was one of the discoveries presented in a new thesis from Lund University. The thesis explores how an artisanal perspective can contribute to archaeology by providing new insights into arch

That life is not fair is hardly news. But that inequalities are at risk of increasing as we seek to improve the health of the population is perhaps unexpected. Health economics is a way of evaluating the potential health benefits of different interventions, setting them against the economic cost and their impact on society. Over two million people in Sweden are currently living with cardiovascular

Effektiva men ännu okända mekanismer neutraliserar den höga ärftliga risk för typ 2 diabetes som bärare av många riskgener har förutsatt att de har hög insulinkänslighet. En möjlig förklaring är att riskgenerna bara slår igenom när insulincellerna stressas av motsatsen, insulinresistens. Den ärftliga komponenten för

Ett forskarlag har studerat fyra märkliga stenar som hittats i en grusgrop strax utanför den lilla byn Kitkiöjärvi i Pajala kommun. Analyser av mineralkorn i stenarna visar att de härstammar från ett hittills okänt meteoritnedslag för 659 miljoner år sedan. Nu återstår jakten på nedslagskratern som lurar någonstans i närheten av grustaget. Den första stenen hittades 2017 av en finsk masterstudent.

Nordliga våtmarker har under tusentals år ackumulerat kol från atmosfären och därigenom haft en kylande effekt på klimatet. Men en ny studie visar att våtmarkernas kolupptag kan minska radikalt om klimatförändringarna leder till ökade temperaturer under sensommaren. Nettokoldioxidflödet i en våtmark styrs av balansen mellan upptag genom fotosyntes och emissioner via främst nedbrytning. Det har län

Bildades jorden av gigantiska asteroider? Eller fick vår planet sin nuvarande form och storlek tack vare millimeterstora småstenar som sögs ihop till en massiv himlakropp? Enligt en ny Lundastudie i tidskriften Nature talar allt mer för småstensteorin. Vår planets tillblivelse för 4 550 miljarder år sedan har ända sedan urminnes tider gäckat världens astronomer.

Should climate researchers let their findings speak for themselves, or does the state of the planet mean that it is a duty to take to the barricades? How can science get its message across in the best way and does climate activism by researchers impact their credibility? These questions were the focus of Debatt i Lund this May. The panel consisted of sustainability researcher Kimberly Nicholas, so

There is a constant war between bacteria and their viruses, bacteriophages, where both try to outsmart each other. An international study led by Lund University provided an important missing bit to the puzzle of how the bacteria defend themselves against phages. This is an important stepping stone towards developing effective phage-based therapies to be used as an alternative to antibiotics. Bacte
