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

Forskarna förklarar ”fetmaparadoxen” med att de som drabbas av diabetes trots normalvikt är särskilt sårbara individer och att det sannolikt ligger genetiska faktorer bakom. Sambandet mellan övervikt/fetma och typ 2 diab

For the first time, a Swedish municipality has placed large amounts of sand on its beaches as a way of combating coastal erosion.

A research team at Lund University in Sweden has discovered a mechanism that helps acute myeloid leukemia cells to evade the body’s immune system. By developing an antibody that blocks the mechanism, the researchers could restore the immune system’s ability to kill the cancer cells in laboratory trials and in mice. The discovery is published in Nature Cancer. In brief:Facts about the study: peer-r

There is a constant war between bacteria and their viruses, bacteriophages, where both try to outsmart each other. An international study led by Lund University provided an important missing bit to the puzzle of how the bacteria defend themselves against phages. This is an important stepping stone towards developing effective phage-based therapies to be used as an alternative to antibiotics. Bacte

Economic conditions influence whether and when people choose to have children. A new report from the Swedish government inquiry A Future with Children, led by LUSEM economist Åsa Hansson, shows how financial risks – particularly for women – may be contributing to declining birth rates. Fewer children are being born in Sweden, and economic conditions may play a larger role than previously assumed.

An increasing number of people want to help bees and other pollinators by growing flowers that are rich in pollen and nectar. But which flowers are the most beneficial? If the point is to aid threatened bee species and biodiversity, then a variety of native plants is the way to go. If you are a farmer, with large areas of insect-pollinated crops, it might be easiest to aim for a few species of flo

Närvaron av människor i rullstolar kan påverka utrymningar av lokaler. Forskare vid CASE har undersökt hur valet av utgång från en lokal påverkas av närvaron av rullstolsburna, samt utgångarnas utformning. Virtual reality användes för att designa ett experiment. – Resultaten visar att valet av utgång påverkades positivt av att andra valde en särskild utgång. Speciellt när den andra personen var ru
