Through its extensive digitisation of older card catalogues, Lund University Library has made an unexpected discovery: a copy of astronomer Copernicus' famous work from the 16th century, which presents the theory that the Earth revolves around the Sun. The discovery was made possible thanks to the new full-text search in Catalogue-1957, which makes the library's older material much more accessible

Hjärt- och kärlsjukdom är fortfarande vanligaste dödsorsaken efter långvarig typ 1-diabetes men under de senaste decennierna har risken avsevärt minskat, enligt en stor finsk undersökning. Under ungefär samma period visar en stor internationell studie att en vanlig riskfaktor för hjärtsjukdom har blivit betydligt vanligare. Under de senaste 30 åren har antalet för högt blodtryck blivit dubbelt så

Den här artikeln är över 5 år gammal, och informationen kan därför vara inaktuell. Förra året opererades omkring 10 000 svenskar mot fetma. En ny studie vid Sahlgrenska akademin visar att de som genomgår fetmakirurgi minskar risken för hjärtinfarkt och slaganfall med 30 procent – en slutsats som kan förändra fetmakirurgins prioriteringar. Swedish Obese Subjects, SOS, är en av världens största stud

Den här artikeln är över 5 år gammal, och informationen kan därför vara inaktuell. I en liten undersökning har forskare från universitet i Michigan, USA, visat att kroppens känslighet för insulin ökade med mer än 30 procent efter tre måltider inom 24 timmar med lågt innehåll av kolhydrater. En kost med högre andel kolhydrater förbättrade inte insulinkänsligheten vilket enligt forskarna kan leda ti

När Donald Trump nyligen tillkännagav importtullar för stål och aluminium fördömdes han av frihandelsförespråkare över hela världen. Hans belackare menade att den amerikanske presidenten inte förstår att handelsprotektionism skulle innebära en katastrof för världsekonomin. Det må så vara. Men det handlar om samme Tr

The brain's big-eating immune cells can slow down the progression of Alzheimer's disease. This is shown by a study that is now published in Nature Aging. The brain's own immune cells are called microglia and are found in the central nervous system. They are big eaters that kill viruses, damaged cells and infectious agents they come across. It has long been known that microglial cells can be activa

The project Reflections on soil and agriculture began in 2015 when I met John Eriksen, a conventional farmer in Djursland, Jutland. Through farm work and afternoon coffee, I became part of the community around his farm and made a film portrait of him. In Part I of this exhibition project, I explore how we talk about a difficult and emotional subject like farming across rural and urban areas, acros
