TEMA FORSKNING SOM VÄCKER KÄNSLOR Kommer ni ihåg ”snygghetsstudien”? Den fick mycket uppmärksamhet under hösten 2022, anmäldes för brister i forskningsmetoden, men konstaterades senare inte ha avvikit från god forskningssed. Nationalekonomen Adrian Mehic hade inte ens disputerat ännu, men hade fått en artikel från den kommande avhandlingen publicerad i en vetenskaplig tidskrift. – Jag kunde tänka

“My first project was about giving poor families in Thailand the opportunity to send their children to school.

“On a smaller scale, biofuels can be a good alternative for public transport, but we cannot solve the climate issue by simply replacing fossil fuels with biofuels. Instead, we must reduce our energy consumption, as the total energy consumption within road transports is not decreasing”, explains David Harnesk, researcher at the LUCSUS. In his thesis, David Harnesk studied the effects of the EU’s bi

What are AI writing tools and how do they affect our assessments? Three main options for considering AI writing tools in assessment are: 1. to ban their use, 2. to assume that they may be used, and set tasks which incorporate them or 3. require them to be used – to fully incorporate the tools in the assessment.

Enligt EUs narkotikabyrå toppar Sverige listan över narkotikadödlighet i Europa. Det är kanske en sanning med modifikation. Sättet att föra statistik skiljer sig åt länderna emellan. Men faktum är att Sverige är långt ifrån det mantra som gällt i decennier: ett narkotikafritt samhälle. Den 29 november håller Debatt i Lund en debatt om svensk narkotikapolitik.

A new trend among food-conscious Swedes is to adopt a gluten-free diet. However, according to LU researchers studying coeliac disease (gluten intolerance), the trend is not solely a good thing as it may blur the line between illness and health. “The fact that patients with coeliac disease now have more food products to choose from is, of course, a good thing. What is less good is that some people
