De flesta kvinnor uppger under sin graviditet att de gärna vill amma och att de ser hälsofördelar både för sitt barn och för sig själva. Ändå är det bara cirka 60 procent som helammar två månader efter födseln. En studie från Lunds universitet visar att inom vårdformen BB hemma, fortsätter många fler nyblivna mammor amma. Längre amning ger flera skyddande effekter. För barnet minskar risken för in

You rush into the supermarket; your mother-in-law is coming for dinner. But which products end up in your shopping basket and why? Researchers have previously tracked eye movements to understand which products attract you in a shop. In order to get closer to the truth, they now want to use new computational models in which the brain’s cognitive processes also play a major role. As you stand in the

Alzheimer's disease is characterized by the abnormal accumulation and spread of the tau protein in the brain. An international study can now show how tau spreads according to four distinct patterns that lead to different symptoms with different prognoses of the affected individuals. The study was published in Nature Medicine. “In contrast to how we have so far interpreted the spread of tau in the

A considerable reduction in the availability of electricity is expected this winter. If the electricity available is less than the demand for electricity, this results in what is known as a power shortfall. This could lead to short power cuts at the University. There is now a Vice-Chancellor’s decision that clarifies duties and responsibilities within the University in the event of a power shortfa

During the pandemic, reports of cheating rose dramatically – by over 100 per cent. The response to this development saw the launch of the pilot project “Förebygga disciplinära förseelser” (Prevent disciplinary offences) which was intended to strengthen the capacity of learning environments to prevent cheating and produce routines and materials for the work going forward.

Två frågor som tagit relativt mycket av min tid sedan jag blev vicerektor för fem år sedan är hantering av forskningsdata och IT-säkerhet. Båda var områden där LU inte levde upp till förväntningarna på ett topp 100 universitet. Det finns naturligtvis många beröringspunkter mellan områdena, och båda kräver ett betydligt större inslag av universitetsgemensamma lösningar än vad vi är vana vid. Vi har
