That eating plenty of vegetables, wholegrains and legumes is beneficial for health is well known. More surprising, however, is that people who eat in a environmentally-friendly way also display nutritional values that are better than researchers had expected. This is shown in a new study by Anna Stubbendorff at the Agenda 2030 Graduate School. The EAT–Lancet diet is a global dietary guideline deve
Welcome to another WCMM Fireside Chat, a series of articles dedicated to highlighting the work of researchers within and around the WCMM in Lund to promote collaboration and communication. We had a chat with the clinical WCMM researcher Gustav Smith, who to say the least, has a busy schedule. This time we present our chat with Gustav Smith, a clinician, group leader and former director at WCMTM in

The EAT-Lancet diet is a framework designed to promote environmental sustainability while also preventing common diseases such as type 2 diabetes. How do we know if the diet actually works? An international research team studied seven dietary scores and found that two of them were particularly good at evaluating adherence to the diet. Reliable diet scores are important when developing sustainable

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Many school pupils are in daily contact with bullying – as victims, bullies or witnesses. We know that the reactions of people around them are very significant, but what determines whether or not other pupils come to the victim’s rescue? According to a group of Lund University researchers, the witnesses’ own anxiety i

Last fall, the municipality of Härnösand launched an initiative to more effectively support the older adults with rehabilitation and preventive health interventions. The first phase of part of the initiative, in the form of a “task force” led by Eva Ekvall Hansson, Professor of physiotherapy at Lund University, is now being completed. An assessment and intervention team has been established in the

Researchers at Lund University have produced the most detailed map of carbon emissions from Swedish forest fires to date. The results show that the largest emissions occur below the ground surface, in peat and organic soils. During the extremely hot summer of 2018, 324 forest fires were reported in Sweden. Using field measurements, models, and data from the Swedish Forest Agency, the Swedish Envir

Plant protection products are used in agriculture for more predictable and better harvests. Honeybees and other flower-visiting insects are exposed to residues of these substances when they collect pollen and nectar in the landscape. According to a new study from the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU) and Lund University, pollen was found to contain high concentrations of many subst

A few days after the start of the Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, the former Dutch Ambassador to Ukraine told BBC that his parents-in-law did not dare to go to a refugee shelter because they were afraid to contract Covid-19. This vivid example links violence and forced displacement with the Covid-19 pandemic. Sepahvand and Verwimp study this link using unique detailed panel data from

I den långvariga konflikten i Israel och Palestina är det de oskyldiga civila som betalar det högsta priset. Oavsett vad den andra sidan gjort ska den internationella humanitära rätten alltid upprätthållas. Det understryker folkrättsforskaren Alberto Rinaldi. Hamas attack mot Israel den 7 oktober var startskottet för det pågående och senaste kriget som krävt tusentals liv. På tre veckor har det dö

When research findings are ready to make the leap from the lab to the patient, the requirements become much stricter. That is precisely where many promising projects start to falter. “We want to be the bridge between research and the patient, so that promising projects don’t get stuck in that difficult transition,” says Sara Nolbrant, director of the new pre-GMP facility. And with that, she disapp

Emily Sonestedt investigates how food affects the health and the risk to develop type 2 diabetes. This knowledge is of importance to society when developing food-based dietary guidelines. It can be hard to make healthy food choices. The bread rolls behind the counter in the café at Clinical Research Centre (CRC) in Malmö have a dark color, but it does not have to mean that they are a healthy choic

Just over two weeks after the UN climate summit in Egypt, the leaders of the world’s countries are meeting again, this time to address another acute crisis facing humanity – the loss of biodiversity. The issue is less well-known than the climate crisis and no framework corresponding to the Paris agreement is in place – something that many people hope the December summit in Montreal will rectify.

Bland innovationsforskare finns en utbredd uppfattning att kunskapsintensiva företag frodas bäst i större städer. Men i takt med att nätet byggts ut och människor blivit bättre på att använda det, minskar städernas försprång. Dessutom har landsbygdens trofasta personal som inte hoppar mellan jobb visat sig vara en konkurrensfördel. Det visar samhällsgeografen Hjalti Nielsen i en ny avhandling. Och
