Strukturella förändringar, som att den kvinnligt dominerande tjänstesektorn gick från lågavlönat hushållsarbete till kontorsjobb, bidrog starkt till att löneskillnaderna mellan fattiga och rika började minska i Stockholm för drygt 100 år sedan. Nya rön publicerade i Explorations in Economic History visar att strukturella förändringar av vilka typer av arbeten som fanns tillgängliga – inte minst fö

In healthcare, treatments developed for broad patient groups are often used. This is not always an effective approach. Sweden’s innovation agency Vinnova has therefore distributed research grants to eleven Swedish innovation environments whose research aims to develop more individually adapted healthcare for patients. The stem cell researchers at the IndiCell innovation environment have been award

It takes a long time, up to several decades, before the benefits of organic farming take full effect on land that was previously cultivated conventionally, a new study from Lund University suggests. After thirty years, the plant species richness around the cultivated crop had doubled on organic farms compared to conventional farms. It is well known that organic farming benefits biodiversity and ca

A new global study shows that in human-disturbed regions, many native plant species are absent from their natural habitats, contributing to the missing so called “dark diversity”. Natural vegetation often lacks many species that could potentially be present, especially in regions heavily affected by human activities, according to a new study coordinated by researchers at the University of Tartu an

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. Instead, 4MOST – the Multi-Object Spectroscopic Telescope – collects spectra, that

The metal recycling industry is growing, not least due to the use of metals in green energy electronic components. Researchers at Lund University have examined the inhaled air of workers at 13 recycling companies in Sweden. Among the results, high levels of lead in air and elevated levels of multiple metals were detected in the blood of those who work in recycling. Different forms of metals are in

Diabetesforskare vid Lunds universitet har tidigare visat att det är möjligt att dela in diabetes i fem olika grupper med olika sjukdomsutveckling. En ny studie av samma forskare ger ökat stöd för att indelningen kan bli användbar inom sjukvården i framtiden. Forskarna har dessutom gjort nya fynd som visar på skillnader mellan grupperna när det gäller utvecklingen av komplikationer. Många patiente
