Several researchers at the Center for Advanced Middle Eastern Studies were doing field work during the Arab Spring. It has left deep traces in them - but also resulted in new research projects. The Arab Spring is a term describing the uprisings that started in several countries in North Africa and the Middle East in 2011. The first one took place in Tunisia and was then followed by unrest in Egypt

För många har den första kontakten med Lunds universitet varit ett vilset samtal till växeln. Men vilka är de som jobbar där, vad är det för frågor de får och hur har arbetet som växeltelefonist förändrats genom åren? Att jobba i växeln har inget att göra med bilden som visas i gamla journalfilmer där kvinnor sitter på rad, svarar i telefon, drar ut en sladd ur ett uttag och kopplar in den i ett a

Camilla Nothhaft has shown this in a thesis presented at Örebro University. She now works a

Despite harsher sentences and increased resources for the criminal justice system, research shows nothing to indicate that this leads to reduced criminality. “We wanted to problematise the notion that punishment is the best option,” says Tova Bennet, researcher in Criminal Law at Lund University. Over the past 15 years, tougher sentencing has been a popular tool in Swedish law and order politics.

Using high-resolution spectroscopy, researchers at Lund University in Sweden have succeeded in mapping the atmosphere of an exoplanet located 322 light years from Earth. The knowledge gained about the hot gas surrounding the Jupiter-like planet is important for the understanding of Earth-like planets. WASP-189b is a planet outside our own solar system, with a dayside temperature of 3,200 degrees C
