Carbon offsetting can be strongly questioned as an environmental strategy, due to major challenges in reconciling climate benefits with local needs, participation and development. This is the view taken by researchers from Lund University in Sweden, who studied a tree-planting project in Uganda, through which a number of Swedish companies carbon offset their activities. Carbon offsetting is an env

En ny studie visar att några minuters dagliga meditationsövningar via en vanlig mindfulness-app får hjärnan att sudda ut inlärda, men irrelevanta, rädslor. Enligt forskarna bakom studien pekar resultaten på att mindfulness skulle kunna effektivisera behandlingar av ångest och posttraumatisk stress. I studien som publicerats i Nature-tidskriften Scientific Reports av forskare från bland andra unive

I corona-krisen måste vården prioritera rätt. I nuläget ska biologisk ålder vara ett kriterium när intensivvården prioriterar, men begreppet är inte exakt definierat. Därför riskerar den kronologiska åldern, det vi brukar mena med ålder, att användas i praktiken. För att prioritera rätt bör vården istället göra en helhetsbedömning av varje enskild individ. Det skriver 18 meriterade professorer, öv
