Kriget i Gaza har skapat konflikter på universitet i Sverige och i andra länder. Motsättningarna mellan demonstranter och universitetsledningar och mellan grupper av anställda lär ta tid att överbrygga. Vi har träffat både LU:s rektor och demonstranter från tältlägret i Lundagård. I LUM ger de sin syn på vägen framåt. Vi har också intervjuat Lundaforskare med vitt skilda specialiteter och frågat h

The new excavations in Uppåkra are at the forefront of cutting edge archaeological techniques. By combining big data, data modelling and DNA sequencing, researchers are currently solving significant parts of a historical puzzle. Perhaps we will learn whether the Justinianic Plague, the forerunner of the Black Death, reached Uppåkra. Until now, this has been uncertain. Torbjörn Ahlström, profes

Christina Isaxon has always been interested in how small particles in the air affect our health. As society’s use of nanomaterials increases, research questions about safety are becoming urgent. ‟We need to know more about the conditions in which nanoparticles can affect us and how we can safely handle these materials.” Her research is about understanding how nanoparticles are generated and releas

This CMES Regional Outlook (2025:2) by Lisa Strömbom focuses on the global responses to the escalating humanitarian crisis in Gaza. In February 2025, a ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas came into force, briefly easing the intense humanitarian crisis in Gaza after months of devastating conflict. The truce was structured in three phases. The first stage was implemented and included the ex

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. The research quality evaluation, RQ20, is now in full swing. The evaluation-fatigue that project leaders Freddy Ståhlberg and Mats Benner expected to see among their university colleagues has not materialised. “We have encountered a strong engagement and interest!” The 200 or so external advisors for the 32 panels are

Drygt två veckor efter klimatmötet i Egypten möts ledare från världens länder på nytt, denna gång för att hantera en annan akut kris som mänskligheten står inför – förlusten av biologisk mångfald. Frågan är mindre känd än klimatkrisen och något ramverk motsvarande Parisavtalet finns inte på plats – något många hoppas att det kommande toppmötet i Montreal i december ska ändra på. Den kallas ibland

What happens if there is a power cut and the heating stops working for a long period of time? Besides the obvious consequences – that technology doesn’t work and it gets cold – how do we, as a society, prepare for such a crisis? Do we know who is supposed to do what when it happens? And who gets to decide on the crisis plans? There are many different unexpected and sudden events that can happen. A

Global warming has meant that diseases such as West Nile fever, NTM infections, and new tick-borne viruses are on their way or have already taken hold in Sweden. People are being affected by new diseases, and challenges for the health system are increasing. Among other things, everything is prepared to start screening blood donors for West Nile fever in Region Skåne in southern Sweden. Tropical di

Diabetes researchers have established methods for screening people with an increased risk of developing type 1 diabetes. Current methods require multiple blood samples during each visit. An international team of researchers has developed a simplified screening method, which will increase screening efficiency. Type 1 diabetes is a disease that requires lifelong treatment with insulin.
