With enormous eyes, a huge mouth and defined, prominent eyebrows, an avatar in the form of a ghost using sign language in real time takes the stage. During 2022, Riksteatern Crea – one of the world’s leading sign language theatres – and researchers at Lund University Humanities Lab trialled new innovative and creative solutions in order to make the technology work for this multi-dimensional theatr

Donald Trump’s background in professional wrestling paved the way for his political career. By using the wrestling concept “kayfabe” – the art of making staged events seem real – Trump embodies the message that politics was always fake, while masquerading as authentic. This has tapped into an already existing disillusionment with the American political system. It can also explain why playing the v

Kidney exchange, refugee placements and choosing schools. Separate things but with the common denominator that, with digitalisation's new tools, it is possible to save both time and money – and to save lives.  "I don't like it when I see things that are wrong which research could solve. Then it is up to me to take my responsibility and tell politicians and decision-makers how they could be solved"

For the eight year in a row, Diabetes Research Day is arranged by the Diabetes Programme at Lund University. Apart from several scientific lectures, two awards are handed out. The award that is presented to a PhD student at Lund University Diabetes Centre (LUDC) this year goes to Cecilia Nagorny. She receives this year´s student award in competition with a lot of other PhD students at LUDC. The re

Like learning to fly as the plane takes off.   Across the entire University, teaching staff are grappling with the transition to digital education and assessment at record speed in the unique situation caused by the coronavirus. The initial phase includes long workdays and getting the available digital tools to work in a critical situation. “We have grabbed hold of this. A lot must happen quickly

En ny studie visar att fjärilar som lever i städer har utvecklat speciella anpassningar för att utnyttja den varmare och längre sommarsäsongen som är typisk för städer jämfört med omgivande områden. Detta beror sannolikt på att städer utgör så kallade urbana värmeöar i landskapet. Experiment med två olika arter, rapsfjäril och rutig buskmätare, i Stockholm och Helsingfors visar att fjärilspopulati

Skadliga effekter av ämnen som insöndras från röda blodkroppar kan förklara den ökade risken för hjärt-kärlsjukdomar hos patienter med typ 2-diabetes. Resultaten presenteras i två nya studier gjorda av forskare vid Karolinska Institutet. Det är känt att patienter med diabetes löper betydande risk att drabbas av hjärt-kärlsjukdomar. Dessa orsakas av skador på blodkärl i flera organ vilket leder til

I en ny avhandling från Lunds universitet intervjuar genusvetaren Marco Bacio manliga sexarbetare i Sverige och Italien. Det som förvånade honom mest var att en majoritet av sexarbetarna tillhörde en välutbildad medelklass. Kvinnligt sexarbete – som är långt vanligare än manligt – är väl beforskat runt om i världen. Män som säljer sex däremot har enligt Marco Bacio inte uppmärksammats i samma grad

Med hjälp av en superdatorsimulering har ett forskarlag lyckats följa en galax utveckling under 13,8 miljarder år. Studien visar hur unga och kaotiska galaxer, tack vare interstellära frontalkrockar, med tiden mognar till stabila spiralgalaxer, som exempelvis Vintergatan. Efter big bang för 13,8 miljarder år sedan var världsrymden ett veritabelt vilda västern. Galaxer kolliderade. Stjärnor bildade

Med hjälp av en matematisk modell har forskare lyckats koppla samman bekräftade covid-19-fall med intensivvårdsinskrivningar och dödsfall. Modellen, som gör det möjligt att förutse och planera sjukvårdsbelastning, kan bli värdefull under den pågående pandemin samt vid framtida epidemier. Det är med hjälp av en så kallad FIR-modell (en typ av filter för digitala system) som ett svenskt forskarlag,

Honor och hanar av fiskarten ruda reagerar olika på rovdjursframkallad stress, enligt en ny studie från Lunds universitet. Hanarna förändrar sitt utseende genom att växa på höjden för att undkomma glupska rovfiskar. Denna egenskap saknas helt hos honorna som därför oftare slukas av större fiskar. Vissa djur har utvecklat förmågan att ändra utseende för att försvara sig mot rovdjur om det behövs. S

James Surmeier, professor at Northwestern University, recently visited Lund University where he gave the 2018 Segerfalk Lecture. In this interview, he talks about how technology is helping brain research to advance, about almost giving up research altogether – and the discovery that could slow the progression of Parkinson’s disease. James Surmeier grew up on a farm in Idaho, studied mathematics, b

A research team led by Lund University in Sweden has provided an important clue to the origin of the element Ytterbium in the Milky Way, by showing that the element largely originates from supernova explosions. The groundbreaking research also provides new opportunities for studying the evolution of our galaxy. The study is published in Astronomy & Astrophysics. Ytterbium is one of four elements i
