Var femte hockeydam på elitnivå upplever symtom på utmattning. Många, både kvinnliga och manliga hockeyspelare, uppger att de konsumerar alkohol på en risknivå. Men det starkaste sambandet i en ny studie om psykisk hälsa bland svenska elithockeyspelare såg forskarna vid upprepade hjärnskakningar – med tydlig påverkan på måendet, oavsett kön. I en studie har forskare vid Lunds universitet utgått fr

The battle for real democracy in the Middle East will largely be decided in schools. The role of education in a democracy was also the theme of a workshop in Alexandria, where Swedish researchers met their Egyptian counterparts. The USI network organised the event on a hot topic in a country that needs to fight for democracy if it is to take root. “Democracy in Egypt isn’t going to work unless p

Lunds universitet och Skånes universitetssjukhus har tecknat en avsiktsförklaring om en gemensam satsning på immunterapi, ett område i stark utveckling inom bland annat cancerforskningen. Målet är att påskynda arbetet med nya immunterapier och gemensamma strategier för att omsätta forskning till patientnytta. Immunterapi utnyttjar kroppens eget immunförsvar för att bekämpa sjukdom och har stor pot
Looksmaxing. Gigekonomi. Stress över att vara lyckad i andras ögon. Dagens unga vuxna – generation Z – har en utbredd psykisk ohälsa, men saknar kunskap om hur de ska kunna må bättre. Samtidigt brister vården och stödet för gruppen som är i början av vuxenlivet. Det vill forskare i Lund belysa – och ändra på, med hjälp av en e-hälsoapp. I ett år har forskarna kartlagt den psykiska hälsan hos perso

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Many Swedes have large debts, and being in debt is often expected to lead to poor health. However, economist Therese Nilsson at the School of Economics and Management finds that we still do not know enough to determine whether it is the debt itself that leads to ill health – or if ill health leads to debt.
