To distinguish between education and research as early as the allocation stage of basic government funding does not benefit their intertwining. Nor is it helpful that only research counts if you want to have a good career. “Good teaching initiatives are to be rewarded and teaching should be well-regarded” according to the new pro vice-chancellors Ann-Kristin Wallengren and Per Mickwitz.

Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have discovered a new and more accurate way to distinguish between harmful and harmless plaque in the blood vessels by using ultrasound. This can help healthcare providers determine the risk of strokes and heart attacks – which means avoiding unnecessary surgery for many patients. In many parts of the world, atherosclerosis is one of the diseases responsibl
