Set a goal for your training for one to four months and pay in SEK 1,000. You get your money back if you achieve your goal. Crazy? Perhaps, but in a study by Professor of Economics Erik Wengström and his colleagues, the incentive proved to be quite effective compared with the control groups. “I’ve had a long-standing interest in how people behave in strategic situations and if you look at it from

A former student had heard that our senior lecturer in statistics, Pierre Carbonnier was about to retire after this semester. Would we do a feature on him? The student remembered him fondly and added that his mother had also had Pierre as a teacher and thought he was pretty awesome. Few, if any statistics teachers can claim to have reached and inspired more students than Pierre Carbonnier, who has

It takes a long time, up to several decades, before the benefits of organic farming take full effect on land that was previously cultivated conventionally, a new study from Lund University suggests. After thirty years, the plant species richness around the cultivated crop had doubled on organic farms compared to conventional farms. It is well known that organic farming benefits biodiversity and ca

Scientists have found an alternative way to produce atoms of the superheavy element livermorium. The new method opens up the possibility of creating another element that could be the heaviest in the world so far: number 120. The search for new elements comes from the dream of finding a variant that is sufficiently stable to be long-lived and not prone to immediate decay. There is a theory in nucle

Implementing nature-based solutions requires better management and funding with clear political priorities. This is the conclusion of a new study by the Nordic Council of Ministers, in which researchers from Lund University participated. Nature-based solutions to climate change and the loss of biodiversity are increasingly highlighted, most recently during the UN Climate Change Conference (COP27)

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Efforts to combat climate change tend to focus on supply-side changes, such as shifting to renewable or cleaner energy. In a Special Issue in the Energy Efficiency Journal that follows the IPCC Special Report on Global Warming of 1.5 ˚C, researchers argue that demand-side approaches can play a crucial role given the a

Two therapy dogs instead of one. There was a big turnout on May 5 when the pop-up event "Mental Health on Campus" was held in the Forum Medicum entrance. The goal was to give students a chance to share their thoughts on mental health. Either on a digital bulletin board or post-it notes on-site. Two therapy dog teams visited the event. Carina Tjörnstrand, PhD in Occupational Therapy, came with the
