On 17 October, the Lubas course syllabus module became operational and replaced the old course syllabus module (Ubas). The Lubas system previously consisted of three modules: Lubas-utbud (information on courses and programmes), Lubas-kursplan (course syllabus) and Lubas-utbildningsplan (programme syllabus). The module for course and programme information was replaced in spring 2021 by a new, more

Researchers from Lund Stem Cell Center highlight the importance of controlling viral elements that reside in the genome and how their activation during development may contribute to brain disorders later in life. Around 10% of the human genome is composed of DNA sequences originating from viruses that infected our ancestors throughout the millions of years of our evolution. Under normal conditions

As certain tumor cells are able to conceal themselves in the body, it often means that patients with aggressive cancers experience a recurrence of the cancer after treatment. By programming genetically modified killer immune cells to seek and destroy the hiding tumor cells and tumor stem cells, it is hoped that we can develop more effective treatment options. An international research project, wit

Researchers have successfully mapped the entire genome of the Eurasian spruce bark beetle. The breakthrough paves the way for new research into bark beetles and better prospects for effective pest control of a species that can destroy more than 100 million cubic metres of spruce forest during a single year in Europe and Asia. Mapping the genome of the Eurasian spruce bark beetle enables a far deep

Career paths and career-development opportunities for junior researchers vary a great deal between the University’s different faculties. This is what Mia Rönnmar has observed, just over halfway through an investigation which is to result in proposals for how to ensure sound and clear career paths within Lund Universit

Compared with other migratory birds, the common swift follows a very unusual pattern when it migrates from the breeding areas in Europe to its wintering locations south of the Sahara. This is what researchers have observed in a major eleven-year international study of the birds. “Our study is very significant for unde

For almost 30 years, NMT days has invited upper-secondary students and teachers to a week filled with popular-science lectures and inspiring demonstrations in science, medicine, and technology. The aim is to spark curiosity, show how exciting and useful these subjects can be, and inspire future studies.Sofie Ceberg, Senior Lecturer in Medical Radiation Physics, has been part of NMT days for more t

The strong connection between financial problems and mental health issues is well known. A new study from Lund University in Sweden shows that only one in five young adults could correctly answer three basic questions about inflation, interest rates and risk diversification. At the same time, they are getting more into debt. This, the researchers argue, is a worrying development. We now know that

To ensure that everyone has their say and that no one feels attacked when debating loaded and sensitive topics, it is important to establish the ground rules from the outset. This applies to society at large and in the lecture hall. This is the opinion of Christer Mattsson, Associate Professor of Pedagogy and Director of the Segerstedt Institute at the University of Gothenburg, who has been invite

A warmer global climate can cause mutations to have more severe consequences for the health of organisms through their detrimental effect on protein function. This may have major repercussions for an organisms’ ability to adapt to, and survive in, the altered habitats of the future. This is shown in a new research stu

Archaeologist Greer Jarrett’s research focuses on reconstructing Viking sailing routes and cartography. To do so, he learnt to sail boats similar to those sailed by the Vikings and set off out to sea. He likens the sailors of that time to today’s extreme athletes. “I started a fairly theoretical doctoral thesis on reconstructing Viking sailing routes, but I wanted practical experience from a sailo

The new excavations in Uppåkra are at the forefront of cutting edge archaeological techniques. By combining big data, data modelling and DNA sequencing, researchers are currently solving significant parts of a historical puzzle. Perhaps we will learn whether the Justinianic Plague, the forerunner of the Black Death, reached Uppåkra. Until now, this has been uncertain. Torbjörn Ahlström, profes
