En av universitetets största donatorer, Birgit Rausing, har fyllt hundra år. Hon uppvaktades av ledningen med blommor och choklad. När Birgit Rausing fyllde hundra år den 26 oktober i år, ville universitetet naturligtvis uppvakta. Efter ett direkt önskemål från födelsedagsbarnet blev det god choklad i present och därtill vackra blommor från universitetsledningen. Medicinska fakulteten hyllade henn

Investigation of a metre-long front flipper, uniquely preserved with fossilized soft tissues, has revealed that the giant ichthyosaur Temnodontosaurus was equipped with flow control devices that likely served to suppress self-generated noise when foraging in dimly lit pelagic environments about 183 million years ago. Thus, this visually guided megapredator relied on underwater stealth—or ‘silent s

Forskare vid Lunds universitet har upptäckt att mängden av ett mikroRNA är förhöjt vid typ 2-diabetes och påverkar utsöndringen av insulin negativt. Deras försök på mänskliga insulinproducerade celler i bukspottskörteln visar även att det går att öka insulinutsöndringen genom att minska mängden av detta mikroRNA. Målsättningen är att forskningen ska leda till nya behandlingar för personer med sjuk

Ny forskning ger ökat stöd för att vissa virusinfektioner kan ha betydelse för utvecklingen av typ 1-diabetes. Ett internationellt forskarlag har sett att små barn med förhöjd genetisk risk för typ 1-diabetes hade ökad risk att utveckla diabetesrelaterade autoantikroppar i samband med covid-19-infektion. Svenska barn har bidragit till studien som publiceras i den vetenskapliga tidskriften JAMA. St

We all remember the disruptive boys in the class. The ones who shoplifted, got into playground fights and started smoking early. Some of these boys were quite simply displaying normal defiance and are now living a good and stable life as adults. But for a few of them, these were warning signs of risky behaviour that later led them on to a life of crime. Almost all teenagers have a tendency to brea

How does digital technology affect our work situation? Could data collected to measure our performance lead to old-fashioned micromanagement? Should higher education take after healthcare with regard to the boundary between work and spare time? These are some of the questions discussed by researchers involved in the research theme Digiworks at the Pufendorf Institute. Researcher in business admini

At what age are you considered old at work? Are you old when you are 48? Why do some people seem as if they never to want to retire, while others would not dream of working beyond 65? Kerstin Nilsson’s research concerns what makes us thrive at work and the factors that affect how long we are able, or want, to continue working. Retiring is a major life decision. It means going from one stage of lif

Covid-19 and the subsequent closure of universities around the world have meant that we all quickly had to learn how to teach remotely. Educators all over the world have gathered experiences and evaluated them, and talk about the present as a "new normal" where both teachers and students expect universities to take advantage of knowledge and skills acquired during the pandemic.

Over 50% of the global population lives in cities, and those cities all share the same pressing challenge: how can they provide economic prosperity and social cohesion in a sustainable way? One way of finding answers to that question is urban living labs, a type of testbed where social and technical innovations are tested in real time in an urban setting.“Urban living labs are a new form of govern

Where, how often, and how much it is going to rain or snow in the future is difficult to predict. Anders Ahlström studies the importance of precipitation for ecosystems on Earth – and contributes with new knowledge in a complex and fraught area. Across the world, researchers are in agreement on future warming patterns. However, future precipitation is more difficult to predict, and climate models

Evaluate employees’ performance differently – it could be a route to achieving a more gender equal university. This according to Rebecca Selberg, associate professor of gender studies. “A better, more holistic perspective on career development is needed,” she says. It is clear that a lot has happened in the area of gender equality at Lund University since women were first allowed to study here 150
