A new year – a new name, a new Director and a new organisation for CEC

CEC starts 2021 with a new name, a new Director, and a new leadership organisation. Yet, CEC will continue its work with research, education and collaboration, across subject boundaries, to promote sustainable development. The new organisation with separate Director and Chair of the Board will strengthen CEC. The Director will be supported by four Assistant Directors focusing on undergraduate educ

Mechanism behind common heart attack gene is explained - scientific breakthrough in Nature

For the first time, scientists are able to describe the exact mechanism for how a common genetic variant leads to a disruption in blood lipid levels that significantly increases the risk of heart disease. The one in every three persons who carries both copies of the risk allele engages a 40 percent higher risk of suffering a heart attack than persons who do not carry either copy of the risk allele

Higher temperatures are needed to ensure carbon nanotubes decomposition

A new study shows that carbon nanotubes used as additives to polymers – to make materials lighter, stronger, and electrically conductive – do not necessarily degrade under the conditions that normally prevail in waste incineration plants. However, if the temperature is increased, or the residence time in the flue gas is extended, they will be destructed. “Contrary to what has previously been thoug

Temperature increase triggers viral infection

Researchers at Lund University, together with colleagues at the NIST Synchrotron Facility in the USA, have mapped on an atomic level what happens in a virus particle when the temperature is raised. “When the temperature rises, the virus’s genetic material changes its form and density, becoming more fluid-like, which leads to its rapid injection into the cell,” says Alex Evilevitch who led the stud

New collaboration addresses the human dimension of climate action

LUCSUS has established new cooperation in the context of the Inner Green Deal Initiative. The aim is to research and support personal qualities and methods that can enable the activation of sustainable climate action. The initiative is a collaboration between LUCSUS and the training company Awaris. The initiative seeks to contribute to the behavioural, social and cultural change that is required t

New research project will analyse how emerging media practices and art can support the SDG:s

Diego Galafassi, researcher at LUCSUS, is leading a new research project on emerging media practices. Using co-creation, and a practice-led approach, the aim is to analyse how emerging media - innovative media forms at the intersection of art, science and technology - can support transformations to realise the sustainable development goals. Key areas to explore are challenges, opportunities, risks

"The students are co-producers"

Senior lecturer, Nadja Sörgärde, has received the students' award for excellence in teaching. Her students praise her extraordinary level of engagement. She personally believes the engagement is connected to the fact she thinks it is fun to teach – especially through seeing how her students develop.  Nadja Sörgärde is an engineer who became interested in leadership and organisation while studying

How to reach ecologically sustainable welfare societies

There is growing evidence that Western welfare standards are not generalizable to the rest of the planet if environmental concerns, such as resource depletion or climate change, are considered. A new interdisciplinary anthology by researchers from Lund University raises the question of what is required to make welfare societies ecologically sustainable. Oksana Mont, professor at The International

Clear goals but murky path to ecosystem sustainability: Key knowledge gaps identified

International sustainability policies set out clear goals for protecting ecosystems and biodiversity, but how to actually achieve these goals remains elusive in practice, as biodiversity loss continues at an alarming rate. A new study published in the journal Nature Sustainability by an international team of 32 scientists identifies key knowledge gaps that need to be answered to tackle the root ca

Should employees be reachable by email during their leisure time?

Is it OK for a manager to email employees in the evenings and on weekends? More employers should have explicit rules about emailing outside working hours, according to Mikael Ottosson, who is researching the work environment within a project entitled “Going home already? Fluid working hours means freedom to some people and stress to others, says Mikael Ottoson. Photo: Ulrika Oredsson Our working h

Diminished focus on scapegoats – scrutiny of the entire research environment

More focus on the institutional environment and less on individual researchers in the assessment of research misconduct – and protection for whistle-blowers should be increased. These are some new points in the revised code of conduct for research integrity – points developed in a process led by Göran Hermerén. The EU Commission is now launching the code as a benchmark for those applying for fundi
