Dense urban areas amplify the effects of higher temperatures, due to the phenomenon of heat islands in cities. This makes cities more vulnerable to extreme climate events. Large investments in the electricity network will be necessary to cool us down during heatwaves and keep us warm during cold snaps, according to a new study led by Lund University in Sweden. “Unless we account for extreme climat

I den mångtusenåriga isen från Grönland finns spår efter gigantiska solstormar. Geologiprofessor Raimund Muscheler gör nu en stor satsning på att kartlägga stormarna bakåt i tiden för att öka kunskapen om solens potentiellt farliga utbrott. Vår sol befinner sig just nu i en aktiv fas med ökat antal solstormar. Vid ett kraftigt sådant utbrott kan partiklarna från ­solen i värsta fall orsaka allvarl

Under fem år satsar EU 163 miljoner kronor på forskningsprojektet POLARIN. Syftet är att främja tvärvetenskaplig forskning i polarområdena. Naturgeografen Margareta Johansson är en av forskarna som kommer att jobba i projektet. Varför behövs det här polarforskningsprojektet?– Den pågående klimatförändringen märks som tydligast på våra nordligaste och sydligaste breddgrader. Vi behöver därför lära

The research areas remain the same, but our perspective on them has changed. This is how consumption researchers Carys Egan-Wyer and Emma Samsioe describe the development in retail research over the past ten years. “In one of our recent reports, we call it 'Retail as unusual.' There is no longer a normal state in trade, no 'Business as usual.' Everything has become more uncertain,” says Carys Egan

Can fashion ever become sustainable? How do we transition to environmentally smart e-commerce? What role will universities play in future society? These are some of the subjects to be discussed during the research festival Our Future City on 7-10 June at Campus Helsingborg. The event is organised in collaboration with the daily newspapers Helsingborgs Dagblad. Our Future City can most simply be de

Congratulation to Wolfgang Knecht and his collaborators, who have been awarded a grant for a LINXS theme initiative titled Pandemics and Alertness (PandA)! The theme is a “spin-off” from the Pandemics and Alertness the thematic collaboration initiative at Lund University, with a deeper focus on advancing understaning of viruses and strengthening crisis preparedness. The themes want to achieve an i

On 25 November, after two years of intense legal preparations, the youth organsation Aurora, submitted a litigation against the Swedish state for its insufficient climate policies – the very first of its kind in Sweden.

The brain's big-eating immune cells can slow down the progression of Alzheimer's disease. This is shown by a study that is now published in Nature Aging. The brain's own immune cells are called microglia and are found in the central nervous system. They are big eaters that kill viruses, damaged cells and infectious agents they come across. It has long been known that microglial cells can be activa

A new study have identified which blood tests are best at detecting Alzheimer’s disease during the earliest stages, and also another blood test that is optimal for detecting relevant treatment effects. These findings will speed up the development of new therapies that can slow down the disease progression. The article was originally published as a press release from the Sahlgrenska Academy, Univer

Throughout life, our lungs are vital organs. For newborns as well as for elderly patients, there is a need for safe and continuous lung monitoring in the healthcare. Some of today's common methods of examining the lungs, such as X-rays and computed tomography are limiting since they can not be applied continuously and carry ionizing radiation. A new technology for clinical lung monitoring is now o

Symptoms for patients with the gastrointestinal disease IBS improved as much by eating less sugar and starch as for those who followed FODMAP – the diet currently recommended to patients. The results, presented in a new study from Lund University in Sweden, also show that weight loss is greater and sugar cravings are reduced among those who follow the starch and sucrose-reduced diet.

One result of climate change is that spring is arriving earlier. However, migratory birds are not keeping up with these developments and arrive too late for the peak in food availability when it is time for breeding. By getting the birds to fly a little further north, researchers in Lund, Sweden, and the Netherlands have observed that these birds can give their chicks a better start in life. Globa

From the Vice-Chancellor’s blog: For several years, Lund University and many other stakeholders within the sector and beyond have been calling on the Government to alter and simplify immigration legislation and its regulations for researchers and doctoral students.
