Musical experiment – subject of research
The artist performs, the audience listens and applaud to show their appreciation. These are the given roles during a concert. But what happens if we dissolve these roles and the audience acts in a way that is completely unexpected. Does this change the song? The sound? The communication? This is what an interdisciplinary group at the Pufendorf Institute has studied during the spring. The six singe

Helping earthquake victims in Nepal
“My first project was about giving poor families in Thailand the opportunity to send their children to school. A student and I helped set up chicken farms at the schools, which the children took care of. The money they earned by selling the eggs on the markets covered their school fees”. Leif Bjellin.

Africa strategy shows great potential
“We are dependent on one another globally – this became evident not least through the Ebola epidemic. For cooperation to work and develop, Africa cannot be left out of the loop”, says Benedict Oppong Asamoah, researcher and lecturer in public health. He hopes that the University’s focus on Africa will lead to more and better contacts Benedict Oppong Asamoah. Photo: Gunnar Menander Lund University

The Arab Spring - ten years after
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

Opportunities to scale up nature-based solutions in the Nordics
Nature-based solutions offer excellent opportunities to address environmental and social challenges. They can help mitigate climate change and protect biodiversity. However, better governance and funding, complemented by clear political priorities, are needed to scale up such solutions in the Nordic region. This is the finding of a new research report from the Nordic Council of Ministers, in which

New method provides unique insight into the development of the human brain
How do dementia diseases affect our brains?
“We must understand the ageing process itself in order to help people with conditions such as Alzheimer’s and dementia, and to possibly enable us to prevent these diseases from arising”, says Henrik Ahlenius of the Stem Cell Centre at Lund University. His aim is to develop an experimental model for human nerve cell ageing that enables the researchers to understand why a disease is triggered. In th

Making an aircraft wing from a feather
Birds are masters of flight and can even outperform aircraft. Bar-tailed godwits, for example, can fly from Alaska to New Zealand – 11 600 km – in one eight-day, non-stop flight! To manage this, the birds must be able to fly very efficiently. How do they do it? What does a feather have that an aircraft wing does not? One of the greatest challenges in today’s society is to reduce the consumption of

More efficient lubricants using sawdust
Cycling becomes a lot harder if you don’t oil the bicycle chain! Similarly, you can’t cut metal, turn metal on a lathe or press sheet metal without lubricant. Previously in engineering works there was a flow of lubricant that is hazardous for health and the environment, but now the technology exists to reduce consumption of lubricant. In time, the mineral oils used today may be replaced by vegetab
