A research group of psychologists from Lund University in Sweden have shown that authoritarian people and those who perceive their own group as socially superior to others are often more inclined to accept the use of torture. The thing that unites them is not primarily the urge to defend their own group, but their str

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. For the first time, researchers point to areas in Africa where foreign agricultural companies’ choice of crops and management of fresh water are partly responsible for the increased water shortages and greater competition for water. This in turn increases the risk of outright conflicts between all those who need water

A recently published study from CEC suggests that oilseed rape can affect later flowering plants. By providing pollinating insects with pollen and nectar, oilseed rape benefits short-tongued, generalist insect spec

The summer 2022 brought extreme heatwaves in many places globally, and the debate has included the term "killer heat". In moist areas the high temperatures will be even harder to the human body, and the rising temperatures may make certain areas very hard to live in by the end of this century. High temperatures in combination with humid air may cause extreme heat known as wet bulb temperature, or

Parkinson's disease may start in the gut Parkinson's disease is strongly linked to the degeneration of the brain’s movement center. In the last decade, the question of where the disease begins has led researchers to a different part of the human anatomy. In 2003, the German neuropathologist Heiko Braak presented a theory suggesting that the disease begins in the gut and spreads to the brain. The i

Shovels, brushes and dusty excavations sites? For many people this is what comes to mind when they think of archeology. But the field has developed at an unprecedented pace during the last few decades, and now includes tools and methods such as 3D modelling, spatial analysis and even laser cameras mounted on drones. Nicolo Dell'Unto, researcher at Lund University, is part of a growing number of ar

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Using lipidomics, a technique that measures the composition of blood lipids at a molecular level, and machine learning, researchers at Lund University in Sweden have identified a blood lipid profile that improves the possibility to assess, several years in advance, the risk of developing type 2 diabetes. The blood lip

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. The majority of patients with type 2 diabetes who undergo a gastric bypass operation recover from the disease within a few days of the operation, long before their body weight falls. No one knows how this happens, but researchers at Lund University Diabetes Centre in Sweden have now come up with a partial answer. In t

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have found a new type of biomarker that can predict the risk of type 2 diabetes, by detecting epigenetic changes in specific genes through a simple blood test. “This could motivate a person at risk to change their lifestyle”, says Karl Bacos, researcher in epigenetics at Lund U

An extensive study has confirmed that the risk of developing coeliac disease is connected to the amount of gluten children consume. The new study is observational and therefore does not prove causation; however, it is the most comprehensive of its kind to date. The results are presented in the prestigious journal JAMA. In total, 6 600 children at increased risk of developing coeliac disease were f

Årets mottagare av Leif C. Groop-priset kartlägger mekanismer i fettväven, vilket har ökat förståelsen kring varför vissa med fetma får typ 2-diabetes. Ingrid Wernstedt Asterholm vid Sahlgrenska akademin, Göteborgs universitet, är forskaren som blir sporrad att hitta nya svar när iakttagelserna i labbet inte stämmer överens med gängse uppfattningar.
