An observational study from Lund University in Sweden examining sugar consumption has attracted considerable international attention. The study shows that sweetened beverages have a greater negative impact on health than other sources of sugar. They significantly increased the risk of ischaemic stroke, heart failure, atrial fibrillation and abdominal aortic aneurysm. Of the 70,000 Swedes who took

Vad finns det för samband mellan åderförfettning och bakterier i tarm och mun? Forskarna bakom en ny stor studie har funnit flera nya kopplingar. På lång sikt kan kunskapen hjälpa personer med typ 2-diabetes, en grupp som är i riskzonen att utveckla åderförfettning. Åderförfettning, även kallat åderförkalkning, innebär att fett och kalk under lång tid har samlats på insidan av blodkärlen. Då blir

Perhaps we course lecturers can use digital technology to become better at giving feedback and providing a clearer structure to our courses? Maybe digitisation gives us a golden opportunity to rethink content, relevance and what we really want students to think about as they study? Read Sandra Nilsson’s think piece based on a study published at LTH’s Pedagogical Inspiration Conference on 9 Decembe

Vintersäsongens virus har slagit till – och covid-19 är fortsatt en del av vardagen. Men till skillnad från under pandemin har vi nu mer kunskap om hur viruset sprids via utandningsluften. Forskningsresultat från Lunds universitet visar att det räcker med några minuter i samma rum som en smittad person för att själv få viruset. Det är aerosolforskarna vid LTH som ligger bakom studien där virusets

Den gemensamma jordbrukspolitiken inom EU behöver moderniseras för att effektivt bidra till ett hållbart jordbruk i Europa. Flera av de åtgärder som nu berättigar till stöd har liten eller ingen avsedd effekt. Det visar en kunskapssammanställning som genomförts av forskare från bland annat Lunds universitet. EU:s gemensamma jordbrukspolitik omsätter närmare 40 procent av unionens budget. Forskare

I Sverige tror vi ofta att vi är världsledande när det gäller miljöfrågor. Det finns en slags självgodhet som gör att vi inte ser att vi faktiskt kan lära av andra länder. Det menar Anna Kaijser som har lagt fram en avhandling vid Lunds universitet om miljödebatten i Bolivia, ett land som utmärkt sig för att inta en radikal position i miljöförhandlingar. När Evo Morales kom till makten i Bolivia å

Climate networks aim to strengthen municipalities’ efforts to combat climate change. But membership benefits need to be much clearer communicated in order to utilise the networks’ full potential; and should highlight the importance of network membership to drive local climate politics forward, argues researcher Henner Busch. Today, there exist a number of different transnational climate networks.

A new instrument on the four-metre VISTA telescope at the European Southern Observatory in Chile has recently captured its first starlight. This marks the beginning of a new era in astronomy, as researchers prepare to map the sky in unprecedented detail. The instrument does not take ordinary images of the night sky.

Should climate researchers let their findings speak for themselves, or does the state of the planet mean that it is a duty to take to the barricades? How can science get its message across in the best way and does climate activism by researchers impact their credibility? These questions were the focus of Debatt i Lund this May. The panel consisted of sustainability researcher Kimberly Nicholas, so
