Universitetet tar dagligen emot runt en miljon e-postmeddelanden. Cirka 90 % av dem är oönskade meddelanden. För att minska riskerna det innebär kommer universitetet göra en flytt av e-posttjänsten till en säkrare lösning. Denna flytt har tidigarelagts på grund av den senaste tidens driftstörningar. De oönskade meddelandena består av skräppost, försök att stjäla lösenord, så kallade VD-bedrägerier

Lucas, an active board member of Ingenjörssektionen, has generous tips for both new students and those already in Helsingborg. We asked him a few questions to get his insider knowledge on how to navigate student life and take advantage of all that Helsingborg has to offer. You come as a new student to the city, how do you get to know people? The best way to get to know new people is to participate

A research team at Lund University in Sweden has discovered a certain type of cells – foam cells – in patients with the aggressive brain tumour glioblastoma. It has been shown how these cells accelerate the cancer’s growth and that this can be successfully inhibited using a drug developed for arteriosclerosis. Glioblastoma affects around 500 Swedes every year and is the most common and most aggres

How planets form is a question that has long vexed the world's astronomers. In recent years, the so-called pebble theory - where tiny gravel particles are sucked together - has gained ground. A new paper shows that ice plays a crucial role in allowing these celestial bodies to reach a certain size where they can continue to grow to planetary size. Just over 4.6 billion years ago, our planetary sys

Ever since it was invented in the 1960s, the laser has found new areas of use, and is today very useful in research, industry and society. In most laser applications, for example material processing, the laser can be placed very close to the area to be processed. However, there are many important application areas where this is problematic. For example, if you want to use the laser to study an are

In a recent paper, Fredrik N G Andersson explores the connection between economic inequality and the environment. He discovers that the relationship is complex, varying by time, location, and the specific environmental indicator. The most pronounced correlation is found between income inequality and energy use, which subsequently impacts greenhouse gas emissions. Structural shifts in the consumpti

A new research study has shed light on the underground interaction between tree roots and fungi. In order to understand how this important symbiosis came about, an international team of researchers have sequenced the genomes of different fungi that live underground. The study shows that in the course of evolution, the symbiotic fungi have lost many genes present in their free-living ancestors, and

What are your thoughts on death? How would you like to spend your last days? These kinds of existential questions are explored at so-called death cafés - gatherings that Jamie Woodworth began organising before she was 25, as a way of dealing with her anxiety about climate change. Now she has been awarded an honourable mention for her doctoral thesis on end-of-life care in the Swedish welfare state
