What made IKEA go against the grain and move into town? This week, IKEA opened a bedroom store in central Stockholm. The store in The Lobby on Regeringsgatan is the latest in a series of smaller, city-centre formats that IKEA is currently testing in various parts of the world.

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Today’s governance of Swedish higher education institutions is short-sighted, poorly coordinated and much too general and competitive. The separation of direct government funding between education and research has created unnatural boundaries and promoted a culture within academia that underestimates education in rela

A warmer world affects health, jobs, migration and welfare. We can no longer talk about the climate as a separate issue, says sustainability professor Emily Boyd. – Climate change has long been seen as something separate from society. People often talk about negative effects on our natural environment rather than how a changed climate may affect our everyday lives. This means that many people, per

How do you measure biodiversity impacts from products and raw materials extracted in very different places around the world? Researcher Carla Coelho from the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences (MGeo), and colleagues, developed a new way to estimate the impact of mines and quarries - and how much they actually perforate their surroundings habitats.

Breath-holding spells are common in young children and are benign. Yet children often undergo unnecessary diagnostic interventions when seeking medical care. This is because there are no national or international guidelines on how to assess children in these cases.

A research group at Lund University has studied how a molecular sensor located in the blood vessel wall, controls how the vessel compensates for high blood pressure. As we age, the sensor deteriorates, which can worsen vascular damage caused by high blood pressure and consequently lead to secondary diseases affecting the heart, brain, or other organs. In mice, the researchers demonstrate that the
