Återvinningsindustrin för metaller växer, inte minst genom nya metaller i elektroniska komponenter. Lundaforskare har undersökt inandningsluften på 13 återvinningsföretag i Sverige. Bland resultaten syns höga blyhalter och ett stort antal metaller i blodet hos dem som arbetar med återvinningen. Olika former av metaller ingår i, och är en förutsättning för, tillverkningen av de flesta produkter i d

There are many requirements on the food packaging of the future. They must be better and safer than today, while also environment-friendly, cost-effective, and aesthetically pleasing. In the product development race, Tetra Pak has teamed up with the Faculty of Engineering in Lund – LTH. The researchers' computer simulations accelerate development and increase knowledge of how different materials r

A new research project led by LUCSUS will examine immobility as an adaptation strategy. Through a novel research approach, and field work in different areas affected by sea level rise and erosion, it will shed light on the communities who are unable – or unwilling – to move despite negative effects on their environment. Average sea levels have swelled about 23 cm since 1880, with about 7 cm in the

CASE Coordinator Steven Schmidt held a talk at Sustainable Built Environment Conference 2025 in Tokyo last month. And learned about sustainable solutions for the future. One of the themes this year was around ageing, with a focus on how the built environment impacts health and well-being.– I was invited to present at a special session “Improving health and well-being”. They wanted to have examples

An international team of researchers has identified 13 biomarkers that significantly improve the ability to accurately predict cardiovascular disease risk in people with type 2 diabetes. The analysis was led by Lund University, Johns Hopkins University, and the Chinese University of Hong Kong. The study was published in Communications Medicine. Although people with type 2 diabetes are two times mo

During the spring, a preliminary study is being conducted with the aim of enhancing professional development and career paths for technical and administrative (TA) staff at the University. The preliminary study is to map the current situation: the development opportunities that exist, the rate of staff turnover etc. The work is to lead to concrete proposals for how LU can structure long-term work

Nicholas Leigh came from the United States to Sweden and Lund University four years ago. In his research, he focuses on salamanders and how they can recreate body parts such as legs, tails and even components of the heart. It was the ability of moose to grow new antlers after shedding that first sparked Nicholas Leigh’s interest in regenerative research. For practical reasons, the choice fell on s

Den här artikeln är över 5 år gammal, och informationen kan därför vara inaktuell. Den 26 september undertecknade Colombias regering ett fredsavtal med gerillan. Det väckte hopp om ett slut på en av världens äldsta väpnade konflikter. Men i söndags röstades förslaget ner med en knapp majoritet (50,2 %). Vad händer nu? Vilka är de olika scenarierna för Colombia? Och vilka konsekvenser får det negat

One of Multipark's associated research groups has published a new study that reveals the role of astrocytes in the development of frontotemporal dementia (FTD). Their findings, now in the journal Brain Communications, provide valuable insights into the cellular mechanisms of the disease and open up new possibilities for developing early diagnostics and potential interventions for patients with FTD

Engaging students during seminars is a common challenge for higher education teachers. Learning is always the outcome of the students’ activity, and teachers can only facilitate, encourage, hinder or discourage learning (Ambrose et al., 2010). Indeed, a seminar only works if participants are active and come prepared. However, students face different struggles when preparing for seminars. Micol Mie

The internal combustion engine is a subject that has been described as nasty and outdated. In fact, it is not outdated at all – but an area of cutting-edge research that is an important part of a sustainable energy transition. Martin Tunér is a professor of Internal Combustion Engines at the Faculty of Engineering (LTH) and he explains that a functioning and egalitarian society needs transport, so
