A great deal of moral courage or a really desperate situation – these are the requirements for someone to disclose state secrets. And life will most certainly never be the same again. This is what emerges from the experiences of the Cold War’s first major defectors, Mr and Mrs Petrov, as from those of Edward Snowden, who will perhaps never be able to return to his homeland without risking severe p

Can dragonflies migrate thousands of miles across the Indian Ocean, from India via the Maldives to Africa, and back again? An international research team led by Lund University in Sweden has used models and simulations to find out if the hypothesis could be true. In 2009, marine biologist Charles Anderson put forward a hypothesis after observing globe skimmer dragonflies (Pantala flavescens) on th

For generations, Indigenous and riverine communities in the Amazon have relied on deep ecological knowledge to live in harmony with the rainforest. But, as climate disasters reshape the woodlands, local expertise is often overlooked in environmental policies and scientific studies. A new research project aims to change that. In 2023 and 2024, the Amazon faced severe droughts. Rivers dried up, cutt

A month ago, I made a visit to the University of Gothenburg’s Research Board. While there, I was asked, “Why has Lund University performed so incredibly well in Horizon Europe?” I counted myself lucky to have received an update beforehand from Research Services that we have been very successful, otherwise I would have been caught off guard. It just goes to show that we must update our view of ours

The city of Helsingborg first implemented the Housing First method seven years ago. Since then, the number of homeless per 10,000 inhabitants has fallen sharply. The programme, introduced by researchers at the School of Social Work, has also brought about additional positive effects for socially vulnerable groups in Helsingborg. This is shown in a new report, written by Arne Kristensen and Marcus

Läkemedel med melatonin har de senaste 15 åren blivit vanliga för att till exempel behandla sömnproblem. Men samtidigt visar forskning att det finns ett samband mellan melatoninnivåer i kroppen och typ-2 diabetes. Så vad vet vi egentligen om mörkrets hormon, som melatonin brukar kallas? Hormonet melatonin som produceras i tallkottkörteln i anslutning till hjärnan, är en del i kroppens inre klocka,

Många av de personer som har genetiska förutsättningar att utveckla förmaksflimmer, med kraftigt ökad risk för stroke som följd, kan upptäckas genom ett blodprov. Det visar ny forskning från Lunds universitet. Över 200 000 svenskar har förmaksflimmer. Antalet drabbade ökar påtagligt, vilket bland annat antas bero på att allt fler blir äldre. Den som har förmaksflimmer har också en kraftigt ökad ri

Nästan varannan anställd, 45 procent, tycker att de får för lite motion. Samtidigt är kvinnor betydligt mer aktiva än män, visar en kartläggning av nära 30 000 anställda på arbetsplatser i hela landet. – Att röra på sig regelbundet är livsviktigt för både kroppen och hjärnan.

Ett enskilt blodsockervärde ger en ögonblicksbild. HbA1c visar genomsnittsnivån. Bilden borde alltså vara komplett men nu visar en undersökning att även svängningar i blodsockernivån över tid påverkar risken för ögon- och njurskador. Möjligheten att själv mäta sitt blodsocker är en grundförutsättning för modern diabetesbehandling och god blodsockerkontroll. Men mätningarna har svagheter. Även den
