If you have suffered an occupational injury or an incident, you must report it in the IA system. It´s important for many reasons (see fact box) for instance so it doesn't happen again and so that you will receive compensation. Our HR specialist Nina Månsson, explains. "A risk observation could be an incorrectly placed chemical or an unclear instruction. An incident: a lamp falls from the ceiling i

Carin Alegre Castegren When entering the lower gallery (KHM1) of Malmö Art Academy to see the MFA exhibition entitled “Tremeluz” by Carin Maria Alegre Castegren, I was met by numerous paintings, which all seemed to be in a state of flux. They had a lightness to them, an openness as well as something allusive. When reading the exhibition text, it was clear that Castegren had been thinking of light

Just over two weeks after the UN climate summit in Egypt, the leaders of the world’s countries are meeting again, this time to address another acute crisis facing humanity – the loss of biodiversity. The issue is less well-known than the climate crisis and no framework corresponding to the Paris agreement is in place – something that many people hope the December summit in Montreal will rectify.

Great reed warblers normally migrate by night during its month-long migration from northern Europe to Sub-Saharan Africa. However, researchers have now discovered that during the few occasions when it continues to fly during daytime, it flies at extremely high altitudes (up to 6300 meters). One possible explanation for this unexpected and consistent behaviour could be that the birds want to avoid

A long-standing bottleneck in technology development has been how to make processors and memories work faster together. Now, researchers in Lund have presented a new solution in which a memory cell is integrated with the processor, so that calculations can be performed much faster as they take place inside the memory circuit itself. In an article in Nature Electronics, the researchers describe the

Given the current warming climate, many of us have wondered if snow around Christmas time is slowly becoming a thing of the past. We asked Alex Vermeulen, Director of the ICOS Carbon Portal at Lund University, what Europeans can expect going forward. Only one thing seems certain: the weather will change in unpredictable ways, with more extreme weather likely. Around what time will Europeans experi

In this series, we continue our reporting on the timeline of surgical treatment of late stage osteoarthritis. Today we meet Sven, who has had problems with pain and limited mobility in one of his knees for several years. After visiting his primary care health center, Sven received physical therapy and has been doing exercises at home, carefully following instructions. He has also received several

Three researchers at Lund University Diabetes Centre (LUDC) receive generous grants from the Hjelt Diabetes Foundation in 2021. Ola Hansson, Karl Bacos and Malin Fex have been awarded 45 000 euros each for their research projects. A common aim is to develop a better understanding of the mechanisms behind type 2 diabetes. Diabetes has become a major health issue with nearly half a billion people li

Electrotherapy using injectable nanoparticles delivered directly into the tumour could pave the way for new treatment options for glioblastoma, according to a new study from Lund University in Sweden. “By drop casting the nanoparticles into the tumour cavity after an operation, we could electrify the edges while the immune system is also activated”, says Roger Olsson, professor of Chemical Biology

Directly after birth, the immune system completes production of a subtype of antibody-producing immune cells, B-1, that are to last for a lifetime. No more B1-cells are formed after that point. However, these cells are self-reactive – they produce not only antibodies against foreign substances, but also against the bo

A method that will quickly and easily detect diabetic neuropathy, nerve damage caused by high blood sugar, is under development. The aim is to identify individuals in the risk zone so that it is possible to initiate early treatment to prevent, or even reverse, the development. Neuropathy can be difficult to diagnose.

Through the years, most gender norms have been challenged or changed in modern society. Yet each Christmas, a strikingly similar image of Santa Claus appears in the media and in our homes. What is is about Santa Claus that makes him immune to the criticism that other male patriarchal figures have endured? ”A lot of Swedish parents these days are very gender aware and progressive.

Sweden's investments in climate-friendly green steel are a potential driving force for both European competitiveness and energy independence. However, without a sustainable, strategic industrial policy, there is a risk that the technology will instead be commercially exploited in China, according to a new thesis from Lund University in Sweden. For better or worse, industrial policy plays a decisiv

New twin research shows that innate IQ plays a major role in predicting your future socio-economic status. The study, which follows twins during the crucial early adult years, reinforces the view that heredity and genes shape our life opportunities – and the people we become. The saying “to be born with a silver spoon in one’s mouth” suggests that wealth and prosperity stem from the parents’ fortu
