Science should be able to be reproduced, but in reality, this is a step that is often overlooked. Researcher Burak Tunca at Lund University School of Economics and Management sees several possible measures that could make research better – and more open. “Researchers should always pre-register their studies and be open with their data. That way we can avoid bias and hypotheses being changed during

For decades, the Swedish forest have been intensely managed through clear-cutting and tree planting to maximize wood production. This type of management has created a strong culture and tradition where foresters feel that it is difficult to gain knowledge about, and support for, other forest management methods, for instance continuous cover forestry. This is according to researchers at LUCSUS who

Each year, one in four women suffers from bacterial vaginosis, something that is currently treated with antibiotics. However, recently a gentler, antibiotic-free alternative has been authorised for sale in the EU. The chance discovery behind the innovation was made by a group of researchers from Lund University in Sweden. Stinging, itching and odorous vaginal discharge is a common and a stigmatise

In patients with symptoms such as irregular heartbeats, dizziness, or fainting, or in individuals that physicians suspect may have atrial fibrillation, many days of ECGs may be required for diagnosis – “long-term ECG recordings”. These recordings must then undergo a time-consuming and human resource-intensive review to identify heart rhythm abnormalities. In a large international study, researcher

This year's recipient of the Leif C. Groop Award for Outstanding Diabetes Research maps out mechanisms in the adipose tissue, which has increased the understanding of why some people with obesity develop type 2 diabetes. Ingrid Wernstedt Asterholm at University of Gothenburg is spurred to find new answers when observations in the lab do not agree with the general view. Justification for awarding"I

From a rejected article to world-leading Alzheimer’s research. Kaj Blennow has made it possible to detect Alzheimer’s disease up to 20 years before symptoms appear – an achievement that has not only transformed research but also laid the foundation for new therapies. He has now been awarded the Eric K. Fernström Nordic Prize for his groundbreaking research. Professor Kaj Blennow also enjoys gettin

How can it be determined whether a person has died by suicide or homicide – an assessment that is key to the legal process? A new thesis from Lund University in Sweden shows how forensic medicine can become more accurate and legally sound by relying on systematic data rather than professional experience alone. In her thesis, Maria Berg von Linde, a recent doctoral graduate from Lund University and

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. USV is the umbrella term for the University’s specialised centres which are gradually moving into the faculties. But the process is not painless – the specialised centres are keen to safeguard their identities and their low overhead costs. The faculties and departments, on the other hand, do not want to take on financ

Är det möjligt att en endaste biomarkör kan påvisa alla typer av sjukdomar som har med dopaminbrist i hjärnan att göra? Ja, det är vad en forskargrupp i Lund är på spåren. – Vi har sett att ett enzym i ryggvätska och i blod är en användbar markör för att identifiera alla typer av Parkinsonrelaterade sjukdomar med hög träffsäkerhet, säger Oskar Hansson som lett studien.

Den här artikeln är över 5 år gammal, och informationen kan därför vara inaktuell. Långsiktig viktuppgång kan i vissa fall förklaras av nedsatt förmåga att omsätta fett, visar en ny studie från Karolinska Institutet som publiceras i den ansedda tidskriften Cell Metabolism. Känsliga individer kan behöva mer intensiva livsstilsförändringar för att undvika övervikt och typ 2-diabetes, menar forskarna

Genom ett enkelt, billigt test på fem minuter kan man få en första indikation om ett barn har ADHD. Det visar nu en forskargrupp vid Lunds universitet som kopplar de förändringar som finns i lillhjärnan vid ADHD, till ett test med finger-tapping. Testet kan användas som ett komplement till nuvarande diagnostiska metoder. ADHD anses vara den vanligaste neuropsykiatriska störningen i världen. Under

Sömnhormonet melatonin försämrar insulinfrisättningen hos personer med en vanlig genvariant, visar en ny experimentell och klinisk studie från Lunds universitet. - Detta kan förklara varför risken för typ 2-diabetes är större hos till exempel nattarbetare eller personer med sömnbesvär, säger professor Hindrik Mulder

Den här artikeln är över 5 år gammal, och informationen kan därför vara inaktuell. Man vet numera att inte alla cancerceller är lika aggressiva – de flesta går att oskadliggöra med strålning och cellgifter. Somliga kan dock lyckas överleva, och senare få tumören att tillväxa och sprida sig. Forskare vid Lunds universitet har nu funnit att vissa cancerceller kan samla på sig fettdroppar, som verkar

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. There is nothing to indicate that sexual harassment is more common at the University than in other workplaces. However, different relationships of a dependent nature complicate the situation, such as that between doctoral student and supervisor. Few people choose to report harassment.
