Increased temperatures in connection with climate change are now inspiring researchers at CASE to identify challenges and develop measures to mitigate and manage excessive heat. On March 19, they will meet in a workshop led by Andrew Karvonen, Professor of Urban Design and Planning at LTH. Since the massive heat wave in Europe in August 2003, researchers have been investigating how cities can impl

Photo by Lukas Blazek on Unsplash As a Swedish university, Lund University needs to ensure that students with disabilities find themselves in a comparable situation with other students. Course coordinators or examiners may need to make adjustments so that the digital teaching and examination is accessible to students with a disability. Some students may have a disability that impairs working memor

We interviewed a dietician to find out more about if and how your diet might affect your OA. Whether a certain diet can make a difference or even make It better when it comes to osteoarthritis (OA) is a question that has been asked several times. We spoke to a dietician called Erik Jönsson who works at several health centers in region Skåne. He has met patients with OA many times, even if that’s o

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Why is the Stringhyllan bookshelf considered a design classic but not the Billy? And what makes the Lamino armchair into the furniture design of the century while Norrgavel’s Länstol chair isn’t even considered a classic? “I believed, rather naively, that it was quality that determined whether a piece became a Anna Wa

Superconductors are a cornerstone of quantum computers and particle detectors, among other things. However, a common problem is that their efficiency is degraded by various interferences. Now, researchers have come one step closer to explaining what is happening through high-precision measurements. The results are now being published in Nature Physics. Superconductivity depends on the presence of

It will be a big change in many ways for David Fenyö as he now gets the possibility to return to Sweden after 34 years in the US. Thanks to a grant of SEK 50 million from the Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation, he can now move his research in precision medicine to Lund University. And he is familiar with Sweden from childhood. “We came from Hungary to Sweden when I was five years old and spoke H

The internal combustion engine is a subject that has been described as nasty and outdated.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

En av de främsta fördelarna med att vara universitetslärare? Att handleda och se studenter växa i sin roll. Det tycker i alla fall universitets­lektorerna Olof Hallonsten och Anna Jonsson. Detektiver med förstoringsglas och att fånga och tillaga en fisk. Det är några av metafor­erna som Anna Jonsson och Olof Hallonsten använder sig av för att förklara relationen mellan handledare och student, resp

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Economist and researcher Andreas Bergh is closely involved in public debate. Few things make him really angry. One of them is stupidity.

The metal recycling industry is growing, not least due to the use of metals in green energy electronic components. Researchers at Lund University have examined the inhaled air of workers at 13 recycling companies in Sweden. Among the results, high levels of lead in air and elevated levels of multiple metals were detected in the blood of those who work in recycling. Different forms of metals are in

Farming practices have the potential to slow climate change by pulling carbon from the air and store it in the soil. A new study from LUCSUS has identified seven ways in which farmers can increase carbon sequestration. It also found that woody perennials took up more than annual crops, suggesting that winegrowing could be particularly favorable for carbon soil storage. – What can farmers do to hel
