Living with bipolar disorder means constantly balancing between extremes – something that can be particularly difficult if the diagnosis is met with silence and stigmatisation. To raise awareness of mental illness and why it concerns us all, including at work, five LTH departments have joined forces and invited speaker Henrik Wahlström. In his lecture, he shares his own experiences of bipolar diso

Population density, and not the proportion of green spaces, has the biggest impact on species richness of pollinators in residential areas. This is the result of a study from Lund University in Sweden of gardens and residential courtyards in and around Malmö, Sweden. The result surprised the researchers, who had expected that the vegetation cover would be more significant. “We have found that, in

Changes in land use have been highlighted as one of the main reasons for the global decline of insects. New research from Lund University, which examined three common Swedish grassland butterflies, shows that changes in land use not only reduce insect numbers. The loss of habitat can also lead to increased inbreeding, especially among specialised species that find it increasingly difficult to move

Sometimes healthcare professionals treat patients with opioids such as morphine to relieve symptoms, but there has been a lack of evidence as to whether this helps with severe chronic breathlessness. A randomised Phase 3 study conducted by Swedish and Australian researchers now finds that morphine does not reduce worst breathlessness. The study is published in JAMA.

I en ny avhandling från Lunds universitet intervjuar genusvetaren Marco Bacio manliga sexarbetare i Sverige och Italien. Det som förvånade honom mest var att en majoritet av sexarbetarna tillhörde en välutbildad medelklass. Kvinnligt sexarbete – som är långt vanligare än manligt – är väl beforskat runt om i världen. Män som säljer sex däremot har enligt Marco Bacio inte uppmärksammats i samma grad

Honor och hanar av fiskarten ruda reagerar olika på rovdjursframkallad stress, enligt en ny studie från Lunds universitet. Hanarna förändrar sitt utseende genom att växa på höjden för att undkomma glupska rovfiskar. Denna egenskap saknas helt hos honorna som därför oftare slukas av större fiskar. Vissa djur har utvecklat förmågan att ändra utseende för att försvara sig mot rovdjur om det behövs. S

Med hjälp av en superdatorsimulering har ett forskarlag lyckats följa en galax utveckling under 13,8 miljarder år. Studien visar hur unga och kaotiska galaxer, tack vare interstellära frontalkrockar, med tiden mognar till stabila spiralgalaxer, som exempelvis Vintergatan. Efter big bang för 13,8 miljarder år sedan var världsrymden ett veritabelt vilda västern. Galaxer kolliderade. Stjärnor bildade

Each year, around 350 children in Sweden are diagnosed with cancer. Thanks to progress in research and treatment, six out of seven children today survive. But unlike cancer in adults, we don't know what causes most childhood cancers to develop. This spring Barncancerfonden, the Swedish Childhood Cancer Foundation, awarded SEK 64 million to 29 researchers across the country. The funding includes po
