Jakten i Sverige har en lång historia och kan klassas som en folklig tradition och ett kulturarv. Viltvård och gemenskap är viktiga nyckelord i beskrivning av jakten, men den har på senare år även präglats av den kommersiella jakten, där du köper dig rätten att jaga på andras mark. Genom fenomenet jaktturism vill forskarna Erika Andersson Cederholm och Carina Sjöholm belysa hur en komplex social o

Using surface water to heat and cool buildings can make Europe’s heating systems more sustainable and reduce dependence on imported natural gas. But efforts are needed to make the technology more large-scale, according to researchers Sara Brogaard and Barry Ness from LUCSUS. Today, natural gas is the main source of heating in central Europe, which causes large carbon dioxide emissions. In Sweden,

The headlines about non-functioning security alarms, about cameras and soon also AI in the home service, are getting more and more. But what happens when the welfare technology does not work? Next year, a new research project will be launched which will investigate this very thing.

Researchers at Lund University and Washington University have identified a blood marker that reflects the amount of Alzheimer’s pathology in the brain. This discovery may play a key role in determining who is most likely to benefit from the new Alzheimer’s drugs. In brief:A newly discovered blood marker, MTBR-tau243, can reveal how much Alzheimer’s disease pathology is present in the brain. The hi

Enormous amounts of data about Alzheimer’s Disease have been generated from clinical studies so far. Still, the molecular drivers of Alzheimer’s Disease are largely unknown. With the TAU-TIME project, Jacob Vogel aims to advance knowledge by developing an AI tool that brings together known biological mechanisms with data from patients with the disease. Recent funding from the European Research Cou

Bone and skeletal injuries cause extensive and long-term functional impairments worldwide. In a new study, researchers at Lund University in Sweden show how a cell-free cartilage structure can safely guide bone repair without triggering strong immune responses. The transplant has been successfully tested in animal models, and the next step is to evaluate the tissue engineering approach in humans.

Idag saknas evidens för många av de preventiva metoder som används för att minska förlossningsbristningar. I en randomiserad klinisk studie ledd från Lunds universitet har forskare undersökt om allvarliga bristningar – så kallade sfinkterskador – minskar om den ansvariga barnmorskan får stöd av en kollega under den sista delen av krystskedet.
