SWEAH's spring course "Theories of Ageing" on theories, ageing and health, is coming to an end. This week, about 20 PhD students will meet in Lund for a two-day workshop on the subject. Just defining who is "older" leads to interesting discussions. According to one of today's lecturers, gerontology professor Boo Johansson from the partner University of Gothenburg, it is social constructions that h

Swapping concrete and asphalt for trees, ponds and green roofs is an example of how cities can be adapted to cope with heavy rain and climate change. But time is running out. For nature-based solutions to have a global impact, we need to act fast, according to researchers. A late summer’s day in August 2014, 100 mm of rain fell over the course of a 24-hour period in the Sofielund area in Malmö. Ba

En observationsstudie från Lunds universitet som undersökt sockerkonsumtion, har fått stor nationell och internationell uppmärksamhet. Studien visar att sötade drycker har större negativ inverkan på hälsan än andra sockerkällor. De ökade signifikant risken för ischemisk stroke, hjärtsvikt, förmaksflimmer och bråck på bukens kroppspulsåder. Av de 70 000 svenskar som deltog i hälsostudien, blev 26 0

Some time ago, I was asked, “What does Lund University want in terms of AI and research?” At first, I was a little surprised and thought, is the University to have an explicit position on this? But then I started thinking about the University’s other clearly-stated ambitions. We want to be a “world-class university,” we want to “understand, explain and improve our world and the human condition.” S
