Associate Professor Pinar Dinc (Department of Political Science), together with colleagues from several faculties at Lund University and external partners, has received seed funding from the Strategic Research Areas of Lund University for the project Extreme-Loss: Agricultural Workers’ Livelihoods under Climate Change-Related Extreme Weather Events and Biodiversity Loss. The project brings togethe
In recent decades, the climate in Sweden has become about two degrees warmer on average and this year we have seen an unprecedentedly mild winter and early spring. How is nature responding – animals, insects, plants – to an increasingly mild climate? Researchers in Lund can provide the answer. Among other things, a new study shows that greenery in Sweden begins to appear between one to two weeks e

Turismperspektivet är en bra ingång för att förstå vårt samhälle, skriver Malin Zillinger i tidskriften Organisation & Samhälle. Turism handlar lika mycket om rumslig förflyttning som om samhälleliga utvecklingsprocesser som griper in i varandra. Här reflekterar hon kring turismmobilitet som en av många mobiliteter, turismens roll för att upprätthålla nära relationer samt hur svårt det är att tänk

Metformin beskrivs ofta som en trotjänare för behandling av typ 2-diabetes, men alla blir inte hjälpta av läkemedlet. Forskare vid Lunds universitet har upptäckt en kombination av biomarkörer som kan förutsäga vilka personer som får nytta av behandlingen. Nu fortsätter arbetet med att bekräfta resultaten i en större patientgrupp, med målet att utveckla ett test som kan användas av sjukvården. Läke

In the so far largest clinical study of the development of microbiomes, i.e. intestinal flora, in infants, researchers at the Baylor College of Medicine, USA, have found that development takes place in different phases that can be associated with lifestyle changes during the early stages in life. The findings are based on samples from the TEDDY study and are published in two articles in the scient

A desire to be able to freely carry out research and the chance to provide her daughter with a good education led Pinar Dinc to leave Turkey. It is a journey that is not over yet. However, with another prestigious research grant from Formas she feels secure in Lund for the next three years. “I would be able to begin research on anything at all in Turkey, however, if I were to present results tha

All particles that reach the atmosphere cause different chemical reactions. Particles come partly from natural sources such as volcanic eruptions and forest fires, and partly from pollution and emissions. Aerosol researcher Johan Friberg studies particles at high altitudes.

A research group from Lund Stem Cell Center aims to understand a specific type of neuron that could underlie several brain disorders including schizophrenia, epilepsy and autism, and are developing exciting new strategies to treat them. For the brain to function properly, signaling – be it excitatory or inhibitory – must be properly balanced. This is where a nerve cell known as interneurons come i

Water is essential to all human life on earth. Today, over two billion people live in countries experiencing high water stress – risking both health and food security. As populations and the demand for water grow, this situation is likely to worsen. Emma Johansson’s research focuses on water, agriculture and participatory practices. To mark World Water Day 2020, she highlights some key research a

The climate cannot handle the amount of animals we eat. There needs to be a protein shift, according to researcher Karolina Östbring who is involved in the Sustainability Week. Her vision is to create a platform for research on vegetable proteins at LU. Karolina Östberg Photo: Kennet Ruona.

När tvättmaskinen, matbutikens kassasystem och cykelbanas lyktstolpar förvandlas till digitala funktioner blir vår vardag smidigare. Men med fler digitala enheter som med jämna mellanrum behöver uppdateras uppstår nya möjligheter för hackare att nästla sig in. Forskare undersöker hur luckorna kan tätas. För många svenskar blev frågan om digital säkerhet främst kännbar sommaren 2021. Då tvingade en

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
