Market economics, not degrowth, will enable sustainable societies. For economist Fredrik N G Andersson the answer is crystal clear – researchers advocating for degrowth are wrong. “They miss the mark by attacking growth instead of the actual problem,” he says. The subject of degrowth awakes a lot of interest. Its critics are as vocal as its proponents. Fredrik N G Andersson, assistant professor at

For two weeks in May, teaching staff and students from Zhytomyr University experienced surroundings other than the state of war that prevails in their home country. In Sweden, they had teaching sessions on reflective thinking and, not least, a break from the war. The Lund University School of Aviation (TFHS) has had an exchange with Zhytomyr University, a Ukrainian university that focuses on techn

For decades, the Swedish forest have been intensely managed through clear-cutting and tree planting to maximize wood production. This type of management has created a strong culture and tradition where foresters feel that it is difficult to gain knowledge about, and support for, other forest management methods, for instance continuous cover forestry. This is according to researchers at LUCSUS who

At the Academy of Music in Malmö, Peter Spissky from Czechoslovakia found an opportunity to develop his interest in baroque music – a genre that didn’t suit the political system in his homeland. Through his research on how gestures taken from speech, acting and dance can be compressed into the movement of the bow, he hopes to come closer to the lively, vibrant playing that is at the heart of the g

Production for the textile and fashion industry can, for many countries, represent a first step out of poverty. But what does this mean for those who work in the sector, and what happens when even poorer countries begin to compete by paying even lower wages for the seamstresses in the factories?

Is there any underlying biological explanation for why men are responsible for such a large proportion of sexual assaults compared to women? Or, from a biological point of view, could women just as easily have been the ones to commit this type of harassment and assault, if the social and historical power structure were reversed? In the light of the #metoo movement’s many testimonies, LUM sat down

Insulinceller från patienter med typ 1-diabetes kan återfå förmågan att producera insulin i laboratorium. Förmågan förbättrades dessutom ytterligare redan några dagar utanför kroppen, visar en studie med forskare från Norge och Sverige. - Våra fynd kan betyda att insulinproduktionen delvis kan återupptas ifall vi kan hitta ett sätt att stoppa sjukdomsutvecklingen, säger Lars Krogvold, doktorand  v

Nu har forskare hittat en alternativ väg för att framställa atomer av det väldigt tunga grundämnet livermorium. Den nya metoden öppnar för möjligheten att skapa ett annat grundämne som skulle kunna bli världens hittills tyngsta: nummer 120. Jakten på nya grundämnen bygger på drömmen om att lyckas hitta en variant som är tillräckligt stabil för att kunna vara långlivad och inte sönderfalla meddetsa

Sedan många år går det att med blodprov screena barn som har ett förstadium till typ 1-diabetes. Screening görs i forskningsprojekt men inte i vården. Priset för att identifiera ett barn i riskzonen är knappt 100 000 kronor. Är det värt det? I tyska Bavaria erbjuds alla barn mellan 21 månader och sex års ålder screening för typ 1-diabetes inom Fr1da-studien. För barnet är det på flera sätt viktigt

Antalet sjukdomsfall orsakade av Leishmania, en parasit som smittar genom bett av sandmyggor som huvudsakligen finns i tropiska och subtropiska områden och i länder kring Medelhavet, har ökat i Sverige.

Den vanligaste cancerformen hos barn är en viss typ av lymfatisk leukemi. Idag överlever de flesta barn som drabbas, men behandlingen är tung. I ett försök att hitta en mer skonsam behandling har forskare vid Lunds universitet utvecklat en immunterapi som i avancerade experimentella modeller effektivt dödar cancerceller i en undergrupp av leukemi. För bara 80 år sedan dog i stort sett alla barn me

With the market for fossil fuels in decline, the oil industry is investing heavily in the chemical and plastics industry instead. The strategy seems to be working: the plastics industry is growing faster than the global economy. Multibillion-dollar subsidies from states and publicly funded banks, combined with weak legislation, are reasons behind the rapid growth, according to a new report from Lu
