Heiner Linke took up the position of LTH’s Deputy Dean with special responsibility for research in January 2021 and his term of office concludes at the end of 2023. Why did he not stand for re-election – and what will he do instead? What is the reason for not continuing as deputy dean?"After I was elected as deputy dean – a role that is part-time – I got a large, extra assignment. It was an ERC re
What would it take for people living 100 000 years from now to be able to understand a message from people living today? Language historian and exegete Ola Wikander has, on behalf of the Swedish Nuclear Fuel and Waste Management Company (SKB), outlined some of the linguistic challenges. The question of how to warn people in the future was raised in connection with the decision made in January this

The cells that produce insulin and glucagon are difficult to access, as they are located inside the fragile pancreas. Researchers looking to understand how they function and what underpins the development of diabetes are therefore often advised to conduct their experiments on animals. The Human Tissue Lab, on the other hand, provides researchers with access to cells from deceased human donors; thi

Den här veckan uppmärksammar svensk handel ”Black Week” med ”Black Friday” i spetsen, dagar då reapriser ska dra kunder till butikerna. Men hur går det här ihop med många företags hållbarhetsprofil? Det undrar Jon Bertilsson, marknadsföringsforskare på Ekonomihögskolan vid Lunds universitet. –”Black Friday” framstår för mig som ett symtom på en sjuk konsumtionskultur, både hos företag med fina hål

Depression, yrsel, svårighet att fokusera blicken och balansproblem. Många elitidrottare som drabbats av hjärnskada lider av besvär som påverkar vardagen, men där vården inte kunnat hjälpa dem som drabbats då orsaken varit okänd. Nu visar en klinisk studie ledd av forskare vid Lunds universitet att problemen kan ha sitt ursprung i skador i vestibularisnerven. Idrottsutövare inom kontaktsporter som

For six months, Jennifer Rainsford will be Artist in Residence at MAX IV – and will explore the research laboratories for synchrotron light. Inside the ring-shaped MAX IV building on the outskirts of Lund, extremely intense X-ray light known as synchrotron light is produced. The light, which is not visible to the naked eye, is used by researchers from around the globe to study materials, molecules

Malin Espersson has been conducting ongoing research into how municipalities work with gender mainstreaming. The results show a lack of commitment from management and politicians, with a risk that the work will become symbolic rather than contributing to change. The Flexit project, funded by the Riksbankens Jubileumsfond, started on March 1, 2023, and is a collaboration between the researcher and

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. A unique study from Lund University in Sweden has discovered for the first time that there is a genetic sexual conflict in the immune system in animals. In females, the variation in central genes of the immune system is too high, whereas in males, it is too low. The researchers argue that the conflict is linked to dif
