Workhorse Philip Warkander became Sweden’s first PhD graduate in Fashion Studies. He describes research in a new subject as continuously doubting – an approach he also applies to the academic community’s focus on hard work. Moving around as a researcher, he noticed one day that he had fallen into the classic man-trap – friends and interests beyond work had been lost. When LUM meets fashion studies

Sommaren är musikfestivalernas tid. Enligt sociologen Tullia Jack är festivalerna ett bra tillfälle att experimentera med alternativa livsstilar. Detta kan bana väg för beteendeförändringar också i det vanliga livet, som exempelvis hur ofta vi duschar och tvättar oss. Nyligen deltog hon och tre kollegor i sociologi på två musikfestivaler i England. Men inte som vilka deltagare som helst. På plats

Genom en ny ekvation har en forskargrupp lyckats beskriva dynamiken hos ett allmänt återkopplat kvantsystem. Upptäckten möjliggör djupare studier av kvantmekanik och kan bli viktig i utvecklingen av framtidens kvantdatorer. Dagens teknik minskar ständigt i storlek. Vid riktigt små längdskalor börjar kvanteffekter, så som tunnling, superposition och sammanflätning bli påtagliga. Det är därför vikti

Impaired insulin secretion is closely associated with type 2 diabetes, but the process is not yet fully understood. A new study by researchers at Lund University shows that the Piezo1 ion channel regulates insulin secretion, which means it may be an important target for new diabetes treatments. Type 2 diabetes often occurs because the pancreatic beta cells are unable to produce enough effective in

Fast fashion has shrunk the fashion production cycle from three months to an unbelievable two weeks. New ideas are snapped up from the catwalk, interpreted and made into trendy clothes with a low price-tag, available in shops and online. Economists attribute the success of fast fashion to innovative large companies, but anthropologist Christina Moon maintains that the background to the phenomenon

In a recent research paper, Talina Sondershaus and her co-authors investigate how shadow banks, which are bank-like institutions that are only lightly regulated, behave in the context of climate change. They find that when society pays high attention to climate change, shadow banks start buying “brown loans”, i.e. loans from borrowers that have a large carbon footprint, while prices for these loan

Is there any point in participating in a graduate school? After qualitative interviews with alumni from SWEAH, a scientific publication has now been published, which establishes that interdisciplinary graduate schools can play a crucial role in educating the next generation of researchers.

Inflammatory responses in the brain have long been suspected of playing a role in Alzheimer’s disease, but are challenging to monitor in the living human brain. An international collaboration including researchers at MultiPark, Lund University has made it possible to detect elevated levels of Galectin-3, a protein expressed in the immune cells inside the brain. The results were published in Acta N

A new study by researchers at Lund University supports the notion that patients with type 2 diabetes patient should be divided into subgroups and given individualised treatment. The study demonstrates that there are distinct epigenetic differences between different groups of patients with type 2 diabetes. The epigenetic markers are also associated with different risks of developing common complica

Neuroblastom är en tumörsjukdom som främst drabbar små barn. Överlevnaden är den lägsta av alla barncancerformer. Nu har en forskargrupp vid Lunds universitet upptäckt att en specifik gen är kopplad till sämre prognos. Studien publiceras i tidskriften Science Advances. Varje år insjuknar runt tjugo barn i Sverige i tumörsjukdomen neuroblastom. Tumörerna växer i det sympatiska nervsystemet som börj

For decades, researchers have thought that access to food determined the brood size of birds. Now, biologists at Lund University in Sweden have discovered a completely new explanation: the body temperature of small birds can increase by more than 4°C to exceed 45°C when they are feeding their young. Larger broods would require more work, resulting in even higher body temperatures - something the b
