Physical geographer Lina Eklund is tracking the destruction of Gaza week by week using satellite images. Her analyses could be significant if, once the fighting between Israel and Hamas is over, questions of possible war crimes are raised at the International Court of Justice in The Hague.

When you take a dip in a Swedish lake, it is not unusual to find you cannot see the lake bottom. Lake water coloured brown by organic material can be an inconvenience for swimming tourists, but mainly causes problems for the ecosystem and drinking water. Focusing on Lake Bolmen, researchers, public authorities and local organisations are now joining forces in a research project to find methods tha

In our everyday lives, we surround ourselves with electronics without really thinking about it. We go to work by car or train, travel by air when we go on holiday, and are reliant on our mobile phones, iPads and laptops. We take the products’ functions for granted, until they suddenly stop working. The fact is that this happens fairly often – every year in Sweden, we pay roughly SEK 2 billion to r

Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have recorded coughs resolved at high temporal resolution - 8,000 images per second - and high detection sensitivity, using laser light scattering. This enabled them to count the number of droplets as well as measure their speed with high accuracy. The preliminary results show that only 15% of droplets pass through a low-cost surgical mask. In addition, tho

By studying identical twins, researchers from Lund University in Sweden have identified mechanisms that could be behind the development of type 2 diabetes. This may explain cases where one identical twin develops type 2 diabetes while the other remains healthy. The study involved 14 pairs of identical twins in Sweden and Denmark. One twin had type 2 diabetes and the other was healthy. “Twins are a

By analysing high-resolution data from a 10-metre telescope in Hawaii, researchers in Lund, Sweden, have managed to gain new insights into three stars in the centre of the Milky Way. The stars turned out to be unusually young with a puzzling chemical composition that surprises the researchers. In the study, which is published in the scientific journal The Astrophysical Journal Letters, the Lund re

Nordic and Andean countries started their economic modernisation in the same way: with export of raw natural resources. Later on, Norway and Sweden became rich, while Bolivia, Chile and Peru followed a quite different path. What made them diverge from the common road? Different fiscal policies may be one of the reasons, new research from Lund University suggests. In the mid-19th century, Norway ex

Precisionsmedicin innebär att rätt patient ska få rätt behandling i rätt tid. Vad betyder det för personer med typ 2-diabetes? Forskare vid Lunds universitets diabetescentrum (LUDC) undersöker hur sjukdomen utvecklas för att ta fram mer träffsäkra behandlingar. Epigenetiken kan bli ett användbart verktyg för att individanpassa diabetesvården. Personer med typ 1-diabetes och typ 2-diabetes klumpas

Engagement with alternative health theories and a scepticism towards authorities, politicians and pharmaceutical companies seem to unite the heterogeneous group of vaccine sceptics. “Many of them are not afraid of becoming infected with infectious diseases because they are convinced it will not happen”, says ethnologist and media studies researcher Mia-Marie Hammarlin, who is in the early phase of

How should societies adapt to rising seas, floods, and other climate threats? These questions are explored in a new study by LUCSUS researchers. It reveals that the answer is broader than just improved policies – it's about rethinking the very role of law itself. Researchers Ebba Brink, Ana Maria Vargas Falla and Emily Boyd examine how socio-legal processes shape climate vulnerability and resistan

The social stigma surrounding HIV is still strong in many parts of the world. Children living with HIV in Ethiopia are at high risk of receiving inadequate treatment – or no treatment at all – on account of deeply rooted prejudice. The most considerable risk can be found among very small children, who do not receive proper treatment right away. Ethiopia is one of the 35 countries identified by the

Hösten 2017 öppnade Ravensbrückarkivet vid Lunds universitet för allmänhet och forskare. Det digitala sökbara arkivet rymmer artefakter och vittnesmål från det ökända koncentrationslägret och har mött stort internationellt intresse. I veckan premiärvisades filmen om arkivets tillkomst, möjliggjord tack vare en miljondonation från Crafoordska stiftelsen. Via arkivets webbportal kan forskare och pri

Den 14e oktober försvarade Micol Mieli sin doktorsavhandling, Smartphoned Tourists in the Phygital Tourist Experience. Avhandlingen utforskar smarta telefoners roll i turistupplevelsen. Avhandlingen utgår från att många upplevelser är både digitala och fysiska (här finns ordkreationen fygital med) och hur en resa kan vara både planerad och spontan (på engelska planned serendipity) Om avhandlingen

Mattias Collin tillträder som ny prefekt på Institutionen för kliniska vetenskaper i Lund, IKVL, i januari 2025. För intramed berättar han vad som lockar med uppdraget: – Att få höja blicken lite och arbeta för en hel institutions bästa, istället för ett enskilt forskningsområde eller utbildning, säger han. Hur känns det?– Det känns fantastiskt att kollegorna ger mig detta förtroende! Den överväga
