En ny epidemiologisk studie från Lunds universitet och Skånes universitetssjukhus visar att det finns ett samband mellan höga nivåer av tarmhormonet GIP i blodet och ökad risk för hjärtkärlsjukdom. Att tarmhormonerna GIP och GLP-1 (glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide och glucagon-like peptide) är viktiga för in

Högutbildade föräldrar får nästan 30 procent mer personlig assistans till sina barn med funktionsnedsättning, än lågutbildade föräldrar. Skillnaderna kan bero på att lågutbildade föräldrar har svårare att navigera i systemet och driva igenom sina ärenden, vilket kan leda till ökade skillnader i hälsa och livskvalitet. Under det senaste decenniet har förändringar i regelverket inom LSS (lagen om st

Nuclear power is an advanced low carbon technology that can help to reduce the risk of dangerous climate change. Yet, many countries, including those with rapidly rising greenhouse gas emissions and enormous electricity needs, have not managed to construct a single nuclear power plant. Why do some countries use nuclear power and others don't? A new paper co-authored by Aleh Cherp answers this ques

20 år av mätningar är bara början. Långtidsmätningar som sträcker sig över flera årtionden är helt avgörande för att kunna förutse hur luftburna partiklar påverkar framtidens klimat menar lundaforskaren Erik Ahlberg. – Långtidsmätningar är viktiga för att få ett kvitto på att olika insatser för klimatet faktiskt fungerar. Säg att vi skulle stänga alla kolkraftverk idag – då kan vi om tio år ta red

The large-eyed bristle worm Vanadis has long been of interest to the world’s vision researchers. But the worm has been difficult to study since it lives in the open sea and is active at night. Now, a research team has succeeded in locating an Italian worm colony and is able to confirm that the worm has completely unique vision.

Naturen är för många en källa till återhämtning och välmående. Men forskning visar att det också finns en växande andel personer som upplever negativa känslor, som rädsla, obehag eller till och med avsky. Fenomenet, kallat biofobi, uppmärksammas nu i ny forskning från Lunds universitet. – Forskning har länge utgått från att människor i grunden känner positiva känslor inför naturen. Vi har undersök
