Researchers conducting fieldwork in repressive and illiberal countries face profound ethical, personal and professional challenges — particularly when they are native to the societies they study. These issues were at the centre of a well attended CMES seminar by professor Merouan Mekouar, York University, Canada, that brought together scholars to reflect on risk, responsibility and inequality in a

Ordinary table salt can be used to measure radiation from radioactive substances, provided that it is stored in the dark. This has been shown in a new thesis from Lund University in Sweden, where the method has been enhanced and tested on fallout from the nuclear disasters in Fukushima and Chernobyl. “Salt is readily

The headlines about non-functioning security alarms, about cameras and soon also AI in the home service, are getting more and more. But what happens when the welfare technology does not work? Next year, a new research project will be launched which will investigate this very thing. The CASE researchers, associate professors Gunilla Carlsson, Connie Lethin and Agneta Malmgren Fänge, have in previou

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. For the first time, a research team led by Lund University in Sweden has mapped out exactly what happens when spruce bark beetles use their sense of smell to find trees and partners to reproduce with. The hope is that the results will lead to better pest control and protection of the forest in the future. The Eurasian

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. There is an urgent need for agriculture to drastically reduce its negative environmental impacts, while at the same time responding to increasing demand and adapting to a changing climate. For this to be possible, radical change in how we grow our major staple crops is essential. From the 6th through the 10th of May,

Past cycles of climate change, along with human exploitation, have led to only small and isolated stocks of Atlantic walrus remaining. The current population is at high risk of the same issues affecting them severely, according to a new study led by Lund University in Sweden. Today, the last remaining stocks of Atlantic walrus are more at danger than ever, due to a combination of Arctic warming an

Underground fungi play a central role in the fragile ecosystems of atoll islands. The unique symbiotic relationship between these fungi and rainforest trees is vital for the restoration of nature and ultimately for the survival of coral reefs. New research shows how fungi help nutrients to move between the forest and the sea. Palmyra Atoll is a remote and uninhabited cluster of small islands halfw

Through an interdisciplinary research project in collaboration with industry, a group of researchers hope to identify a more efficient way of assessing the ground ahead of future construction projects. The results of the research might, for example, accelerate the process of modernising the Swedish rail network. On selected sections of the track between Lund and Hässleholm, a research project is u

I början av 1950-talet visste ingen vad Parkinsons sjukdom berodde på. Sedan öppnade Arvid Carlssons upptäckt av dopamin dörren till världsledande transplantationer av nervceller. Tack vare banbrytande grundforskning inom MultiPark kan nu dopaminceller från stamceller för första gången prövas i en klinisk studie. Vid Parkinsons sjukdom slutar nervcellerna i ett område i hjärnan som styr kroppens r
