Seeds and fat balls do more than just fill small birds’ stomachs. New research from Lund University in Sweden shows that feeding during the wintertime causes birds to be healthier, since they do not have to expend as much energy fighting infections. A small change in body temperature can be fatal for humans. Small birds, meanwhile, lower their body temperature at night by several degrees during th

Strong ties between forest owners and their land does not automatically translate into greater efforts to promote biodiversity. The current system of voluntary protection also risks overlooking the most valuable natural areas, according to a new doctoral thesis by Hanna Ekström Pigot. The study is based on interviews with 23 forest owners in southern Sweden. Many express a clear and emotional conn

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Exporting the Swedish welfare model is not a good idea. At least not as a recipe for achieving a more sustainable society, says Professor Max Koch, manager of a research team that links the climate crisis with welfare. Sweden’s relatively low carbon emissions, despite a high gross domestic product, are partly due to t

By injecting a solution of nanoparticles around the heart, a temporary heart stimulator self-assembles, which can correct heart arrhythmia in emergencies with the help of an external power source. After treatment, the electrode spontaneously disappears from the body. The study was conducted on animals. Arrhythmia occurs when there are disturbances in the heart’s electrical signals, causing it to b

When you take a dip in a Swedish lake, it is not unusual to find you cannot see the lake bottom. Lake water coloured brown by organic material can be an inconvenience for swimming tourists, but mainly causes problems for the ecosystem and drinking water. Focusing on Lake Bolmen, researchers, public authorities and local organisations are now joining forces in a research project to find methods tha

I and many others are ambivalent when it comes to the ranking of the world’s universities. But Lund University has made the ranking lists and that does have an impact, at the very least for international marketing purposes. We must be active, rather than passive, in relation to the ranking bodies. Small margins can make a university climb or tumble down the lists, so there is a need to be modest w

Ten Ukrainian medical students, ten supervisors from the Faculty, for ten weeks. Initiator and professor, David Gisselsson Nord, is happy that the pilot project in medical research is up and going. Russia's large-scale invasion of Ukraine has led to serious disruptions to Ukraine's medical education system. Some universities have suffered extensive destruction and have had to evacuate their campus

How much environmental impact does your hair removal have? With the method LCA (Life Cycle Assessment) it’s possible to find out. Sustainability researchers from Lund, United Kingdom and Italy put the shaving habits to a test when they tried to find answer to which method has the least environmental impact.

Do you eat a lot of chicken, pasta, cheese and oils? Or do you prefer yogurt and cereal, but stay away from coffee and meat? A unique population study from Lund University in Sweden has identified different food patterns - and found that some are healthier than others. The study did not look at specific foods and their effects, but rather at how different groups of people ate according to a number
