Having children has major long-term effects on mothers’ salaries. This has been shown in a study from the Lund University in Sweden, by using data from some 20 000 women undergoing in vitro fertilisation (IVF) treatment in Denmark. The first child causes the greatest impact on salary, while the effects of a second child are short term. “In order to study the effects of the first child, we have col

Using a new method, diabetes researchers at Lund University, Sweden, have been able to reveal more of the genetic complexity behind type 2 diabetes. The new research findings have been achieved as a result of access to human insulin-producing cells from deceased donors and through not only studying one gene variant, but many genes and how thay influcence the level of the gene in pancreatic islets

In an absolutely new exciting project, the University is now calling for applications for an artist residency based at MAX IV, where artists in artistic forms will interpret and provide perspective on what is happening in the world-leading synchrotron light facility at Brunnshög. The Gyllenstiernska Krapperup Foundation has generously donated funds to create an artists in residence programme. In t

The new excavations in Uppåkra are at the forefront of cutting edge archaeological techniques. By combining big data, data modelling and DNA sequencing, researchers are currently solving significant parts of a historical puzzle. Perhaps we will learn whether the Justinianic Plague, the forerunner of the Black Death, reached Uppåkra. Until now, this has been uncertain. Torbjörn Ahlström, profes

Passports issued by fallen empires, decks of cards from the Iraq war, deceased Ukrainian students’ uncollected diplomas and much more. A new museum in Lund is collecting artefacts that show how international law affects people's lives. The initiative is being led by international law researchers who argue that we are currently witnessing a crisis of the entire international system. “International

Zahid Shahab Ahmed's two-year research project, funded by United States Institute of Peace, involving nine case studies of peace education interventions from Khyber to Karachi in Pakistan has been published by the Institute. With an eye to the theory that radicalization is a function of social and political marginalization more than of economic poverty, this report examines a cross-section of peac

Global environmental change has degraded ecosystems. Challenges such as climate change, resource depletion (with its huge implications for human health and wellbeing), and persistent social inequalities in health have been identified as global public health issues with implications for both communicable and noncommunicable diseases. This contributes to pressure on healthcare systems, as well as so

Ett starkt yttre tryck är nödvändigt för att få stopp på våldsamheterna mellan Israel och Hamas, som riskerar att övergå i fullskaligt krig om inget görs. Och det måste ske snabbt. Det säger freds- och konfliktforskaren Lisa Strömbom. FN varnar för fullskaligt krig om det pågående våldet mellan Israel och Hamas fortsätter att trappas upp. Flera hundra, varav många barn, har dödats i samband med an

En femtedel av Sveriges vuxna befolkning har tinnitus och de flesta har även en hörselnedsättning. Nu visar forskare vid Lunds universitet att en enkel undersökning för att ställa in hörapparaten rätt, kan göra att hörapparaternas lindrande effekt på tinnitus kan fördubblas. Tinnitus är ett mycket vanligt problem som innebär att man hör ljud i öronen utan att det orsakas av någon yttre ljudkälla.

Vårt DNA är mycket likt schimpansens, som evolutionärt är vår närmaste levande släkting. Nu har stamcellsforskare i Lund hittat en tidigare förbisedd del i vårt DNA, så kallat icke-kodat DNA, som tycks bidra till en skillnad som trots alla våra likheter kan förklara varför våra hjärnor fungerar olika. Studien publiceras i den vetenskapliga tidskriften Cell Stem Cell. Schimpansen är vår närmaste le

Blodkärl som annars skulle slängas har i stället använts till forskning av hur celler i kärlväggen lagrar in fett. Ett nära samarbete mellan kärlfysiologer och thoraxkirurger i Lund gör att forskarna på ett mer naturtroget sätt kan se hur fettupptaget i cellerna kan minskas med farmakologisk behandling. Åderförfettning – ateroskleros – är det enskilda medicinska tillstånd som ligger bakom flest dö

Drygt två veckor efter klimatmötet i Egypten möts ledare från världens länder på nytt, denna gång för att hantera en annan akut kris som mänskligheten står inför – förlusten av biologisk mångfald. Frågan är mindre känd än klimatkrisen och något ramverk motsvarande Parisavtalet finns inte på plats – något många hoppas att det kommande toppmötet i Montreal i december ska ändra på.
