Blood transfusions are vital, but demand for blood far exceeds supply all over the world. In India and China, for example, relatives are usually called upon to give blood in the case of an accident or an operation. An international conference in Lund, Sweden, the first of its kind, will now discuss various possible alternative treatment methods with the potential to complement or even replace bloo

Can dragonflies migrate thousands of miles across the Indian Ocean, from India via the Maldives to Africa, and back again? An international research team led by Lund University in Sweden has used models and simulations to find out if the hypothesis could be true. In 2009, marine biologist Charles Anderson put forward a hypothesis after observing globe skimmer dragonflies (Pantala flavescens) on th

Exercising too much and not getting enough rest is bad for your health. A new study from Lund University in Sweden shows that the same is true for migratory birds. They need to rest not only to renew their energy levels but also in order to boost their immune system. After a period of physical exertion, vertebrates, including humans, usually need a period of recovery. Apart from the obvious – lowe

Genetics are one of the keys to understanding neurodegenerative disease. That is why MultiPark researchers with expertise in genetics gather across research groups. Genetics of neurodegenerative diseases is a new special interest group (SIG) addressing scientific and technological needs to unravel the genetics behind diseases such as Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s. Andreas Puschmann tells about how h

In June, the Riksdag adopted the Government’s bill Flexibility, adaptability and security in the labour market. The bill concerns modernisation of labour law with changes to the Employment Protection Act (LAS), among other things. The changes to LAS will take effect on 1 October. The changes mean that the basis for time-limited work “general fixed-term employment” is being replaced by “special fix

You are out in the woods taking your new profile picture when suddenly a fog rolls in. First you think it is mystical and perfect, but it is so thick that you just look like a blurry blob in the pictures. Do not dispair just yet, this master project might be just what you need. The reason that you are looking blurred in the pictures is scattering. The photons that travel through the fog from you t
