It is not every day that the inauguration of a toilet draws a hundred spectators. Such a toilet would have to be pretty special – and this one is. It is special because it is flushed using rain water gathered from the roof of Kemicentrum. LUM was able to follow the rainwater’s journey from parapet to porcelain. An ordinary toilet flush uses around five litres of water. The water used is the same a

Läkare ska hålla så kallade brytpunktssamtal i livets slutskede med obotligt sjuka patienter. Men många gånger ges inga sådana samtal, visar en ny studie vid Lunds universitet. Ett tidsperspektiv skulle kunna hjälpa läkarna att förstå vad patienterna behöver. – Ett ramverk för samtal utifrån år, månader och dagar skulle underlätta för att låta samtal om livets slutskede vara den process det är.

Insekter är dåliga på att hantera klimatförändringens högre temperaturer. Risken är stor att de blir överhettade. Både överlevnaden och förmågan att reproducera sig påverkas kraftigt av ökande temperaturer även i områden högt uppe på norra halvklotet, enligt en ny studie från Lunds universitet. Insekter kan inte reglera sin egen kroppstemperatur, som istället starkt påverkas av temperaturen i den

Just over two weeks after the climate summit in Egypt, the leaders of the world’s countries are meeting again, this time to address another acute crisis facing humanity – the loss of biodiversity. The issue is less well-known than the climate crisis and no framework corresponding to the Paris agreement is in place – something that many people hope the December summit in Montreal will rectify.
