Liv har funnits på jorden i mer än 3,5 miljarder år. Hur har livet förändrats under denna tidsrymd och vilka processer har påverkat evolutionens hastighet och riktning? Vad orsakade de uppblomstringar och massutdöenden som har präglat livets historia? Hur är livets utveckling kopplad till den geologiska utvecklingen? Hur kan fossil användas som redskap vid olika geologiska frågeställningar? Detta The fossil record reveals that life has changed dramatically since it originated, and that evolution is intimately associated with changes in physical conditions on our planet. Not only have the various groups of organisms evolved but also the biosphere, as a whole, has changed conspicuously since its origin over 3.500 million years ago. How has life changed during this immensely long period of t
KEMC03. Kursens syfte är att studenterna skall förvärva aktuella kunskaper och färdigheter för biokemiska studier av proteiner och få en förståelse för hur proteiner fungerar genom att teoretiskt och praktiskt studera funktion, egenskaper och strukturell dynamik hos proteiner.

The first part of the course is an overview of the population debate over the past 50 years and its intellectual roots. This part includes theories explaining both the influence of population growth on economic, social, and environmental development and vice-versa. Examples are given, showing how the theories have been used to explain the historical development of population and living standards sThe first part of the course is an overview of the population debate over the past 50 years and its intellectual roots.

This course gives you a much improved first hand understanding of the rise of Asia’s two giants – China and India. First, modernisation and industrialisation in socialist China is explored from the pre-communist era until today. The process of transition from plan to market economy is unravelled. The institutional set-up and socio-economic achievements of the emerging market economy are contraste
This course equips you with skills to critically evaluate brain-related information from diverse sources and engage in evidence-based discussions. This knowledge and ability to analyze complex neuroscientific concepts can be highly valuable for you as a future leader, enabling you to make informed decisions, understand human behavior, and effectively communicate with others in areas rela
KEMM76. Kursen syftar till att ge fördjupade kunskaper om analytiska tekniker och metoder, samt deras tillämpningar inom till exempel livsmedel, läkemedel och miljöanalys. Vidare syftar kursen till att ge studenterna möjlighet att utveckla sin förmåga att använda och optimera aktuella analysmetoder, samt att kritiskt diskutera och utvärdera miljömässig hållbarhet och dess relevans för samhällKEMM76. The course aims to give in-depth knowledge of analytical techniques and methods, as well as their applications within for example food, pharmaceutics and environmental analysis. Furthermore, the course aims to enable students to develop their ability to use and optimise current analytical methods, as well as critically discuss and evaluate environmental sustainability and its relevance for
Då kan biomedicin vara något för dig. Dina lärare är aktiva forskare och bland de bästa inom sina forskningsområden i världen. Från första början är du ute i en forskningsmiljö och tar del av de senaste laborationsteknikerna och forskningsresultaten. Aktuella frågor för biomedicinare: Hur kan man använda nanopartiklar i cancermediciner? Antibiotikaresistens, vad ska vi göra när våra medicinIn that case, Biomedicine is for you! The programme is tightly linked to ongoing cutting-edge research within Biomedicine, and our teachers are also active researchers. You will thus study in an environment that integrates education and research. Current issues of interest to biomedical scientists: How can we rapidly respond to and develop diagnostics, treatments and vaccines for future pan
Technical innovations alone have proven to be insufficient to address the pressing challenges of today such as climate change, resource depletion, economic deprivation, poverty alleviation, increased migration and improved life quality. Therefore non-technical innovations are also required to enable transitions to more sustainable solutions.

BECC är en tvärvetenskapligt strategisk forskningsmiljö mellan Lunds och Göteborgs universitet som samlar över 200 forskare. Tillsammans arbetar vi för att bättre förstå hur markanvändning och ett förändrat klimat påverkar ekosystem och biologisk mångfald. Genom att sammanföra forskare från flera kompletterande ämnesområden inom naturvetenskap, statsvetenskap och ekonomi så kan sambanden mellan klBECC is a strategic research area between Lund University and University of Gothenburg comprising more than 200 researchers. Together we work for a better understanding of the impacts of climate change and land use decisions on terrestrial ecosystems and biodiversity, addressing the consequences of ecosystem changes for human beings and socio-economic systems.
Over the last decades, global growth dynamics have shifted towards the economies of the non-Western world. The world is no longer divided between the West and the Rest. Nor is the Rest to the same extent marked by stagnation. In the course, growth dynamics of the developing world during the last decades are explored in a comparative and historical perspective. The question of why some developing e
