350-ÅRSJUBILEUM. Welcome to this symposium on Wednesday March 8th, where we look at poverty development in Sweden during the last 100 years & trends in men & women's incomes in Africa. Life expectancy in the Western world, like in Sweden, has expanded linearly by about 25 years during the 20th century, a bit more for women than men. At the same time, living standards have improved tremendously. In

It’s a known fact that cells can move around the body, but how they do it has been unknown – until now. Researcher in Infection Medicine Pontus Nordenfelt at Lund University in Sweden has managed to describe and visualise cell migration on a molecular level. In time, this could become significant in the treatment of infectious diseases, inflammation, cancer, etc. where cell migration plays an impo

Forskare i Lund och Karlstad har undersökt hur könskromosomerna X och Y utvecklas evolutionärt och hur de anpassar sig till varandra inom en population. Resultatet överraskar och är det motsatta till vad forskarna på förhand trodde de skulle finna. Forskningsresultaten ger en ny förklaring till evolutionen av könskromosomerna X och Y och bidrar till kunskapen om hur arter bildas. Enligt Jessica Ab

What do scholars in the different human sciences assume with regard to human interests? How can we bridge the disciplinary divide between different human science approaches? These and more questions are addressed in Mikael Klintman’s new book “Human Sciences and Human Interests. Integrating the Social, Economic, and Evolutionary Sciences”.

What happens when we get out of the driver's seat and our vehicles become autonomous? Mathematician Viktor Larsson is developing methods to enable cars and drones to see their surroundings. This is his insight into the self-driving present and future. Cameras, satnav, laser, radar and sensors. To earn the prefix ‘self-driving’, or ‘autonomous’, vehicles need a range of technologies capable of both

Contrary to popular belief, women played a prominent role in IS recruitment - especially in bringing in other women. A new study from Lund University shows that Swedish women joined the Islamic State as part of a religiously motivated gendered counterculture against Swedish values of gender equality, modern gender roles and gender norms.

Up to now, researchers have believed that birds stay at home and altruistically help raise younger siblings because this is the only way to pass on genes when you cannot breed yourself. But this idea is only partially true. A new study from Lund University in Sweden shows that birds benefit from being helpful because it also increases their chances of reproducing in the future. “The results show t
