The war in Ukraine has been going on for a year. The devastation is enormous as are the violations of human rights. So far, the focus has been placed on arms deliveries rather than on diplomacy. When is the right time for diplomatic talks?

A study conducted by brand researchers at Lund University in Sweden, in cooperation with Norstat Sweden, shows that virtually all Swedish c

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Hospitals should design premises and adapt their infection control routines to a society that no longer has effective antibiotics, and that is vulnerable to fast-spreading global pandemics. This is argued in a new dissertation from Lund University in Sweden. “Many hospitals in Sweden and the world are becoming old and

Principen ”barnets bästa” ska alltid styra när rättvisan har att göra med barn, från vårdnadstvister till bestraffning av minderåriga. Men ny forskning från rättssociologen i Lund visar att den högtflygande moraliska ansatsen ofta landar platt. Barnkonventionen – svensk lag sedan 2020 – är tydlig: barn har rätt att komma till tals i frågor som rör dem själva och ”barnets bästa” ska vara avgörande.

Effekterna av ett varmare Arktis är inte enbart av negativ betydelse för klimatet, visar en ny avhandling från Centrum för miljö- och klimatvetenskap. Genom modellering kunde man bland annat se att en förflyttning av trädgränsen uppåt kunde öka kollagret då träd binder mer kol i sin biomassa än tundraväxter. Men resultaten är osäkra. Arktis – området norr om polcirkeln – värms upp minst dubbelt så
