Den här artikeln är över 5 år gammal, och informationen kan därför vara inaktuell. – Hjärtat är byggt runt vätskan det innehåller, blodet. Det är vätskans egenskaper som avgör hur stort hjärtat blir. Det säger Håkan Arheden, professor i klinisk fysiologi vid Lunds universitet, som med magnetkamera visat virvlarna i hjärtat på tredimensionell film. Att muskulatur påverkas av belastning är välkänt.

Klimatkrisen är allvarlig. Lika allvarlig är utarmningen av den biologiska mångfalden i världen. Forskning och arbete sker för att lindra båda kriserna. Problemet är att åtgärderna hittills inte har samordnats. I en internationell studie pekar forskare på vikten av att ta hänsyn till båda kriserna samtidigt, både inom forskning och vad gäller konkreta åtgärder. – Klimatåtgärder kan inte bortse frå

Not all air pollution are created by humans. As the global average temperature rises, harmful emissions from plants increase and more desert dust is dispersed in the atmosphere. Researchers from the University of Gothenburg ande MERGE-members, among others, warn that this leads to increased health risks. Climate change does not only mean that the global average temperature is rising by several deg
