Mötena på jobbet blir allt fler, man varför? Svar presenteras i en ny bok av forskare från Lunds och Malmö universitet. Arbetslivet organiseras alltmer via möten. Även om frekvensen skiljer sig åt mellan yrkesgrupper, sker möten sammantaget allt oftare, tyder undersökningar på.Enligt ett nyligen avslutat forskningsprojekt av forskare från Lunds och Malmö universitet, vars resultat publiceras i en

Nyanlända arbetare riskerar att bli exploaterade om anställningsbidragen inte utformas på annat sätt, skriver sociologerna Olle Frödin och Anders Kjellberg i en ny rapport. Bidragsanställningar är arbetstillfällen då lönen helt eller delvis betalas av någon annan än arbetsgivaren. Inom handelsbranschen är de vanligast i små företag som ägs av utrikesfödda personer som anställer andra immigranter.

Att anställa en barnflicka eller au pair gör föräldrarna mer jämställda, men medför nya former av ojämlikhet inom och mellan familjer. Samtidigt tvingas barnen gå igenom svåra separationer till följd av branschens kortvariga anställningar, visar en studie från sociologiska institutionen vid Lunds universitet. Au pairer och barnflickor blev vanligare i svenska hem sedan avdrag för hushållsnära tjän

Skotten i Malmö upprör. Hur får man stopp på skjutningarna? Vad säger forskningen? Socialantropologen Anna Hedlund gör fältarbete om brottförebyggande åtgärder i Malmö och intervjuar nyckelpersoner inom socialtjänst, polis, kriminalvård och civilsamhälle. I Malmö försöker man komma till rätta med skjutningarna bla genom ett projekt som heter ”Sluta skjut”, en metodik som fungerat framgångsrikt i A

Sanningssökande och vetgirighet sägs vara unikt mänskliga särdrag. “Men grupptillhörighet är viktigare. Vi slutar lyssna till fakta om de nya insikterna äventyrar vår plats i gruppen”, säger Mikael Klintman, professor i sociologi. Men det finns knep att ta till. Nya berättelser om klimat, GMO, vaccination och andra infekterade ämnen skulle kunna göra debatten mindre polariserad. Vi vet allt mer oc

The fluttery flight of butterflies has so far been somewhat of a mystery to researchers, given their unusually large and broad wings relative to their body size. Now researchers at Lund University in Sweden have studied the aerodynamics of butterflies in a wind tunnel. The results suggest that butterflies use a highly effective clap technique, therefore making use of their unique wings. This helps

Theories were introduced as far back as the 1960s about the possible existence of superheavy elements. Their most long-lived nuclei could give rise to a so-called “island of stability” far beyond the element uranium. However, a new study, led by nuclear physicists at Lund University, shows that a 50-year-old nuclear physics manifesto must now be revised. The heaviest element found in nature is ura

Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have discovered the individual traits of fungi, and how their hyphae – that is, the fungal threads that grow in soil - behave very differently as they navigate through the earth’s microscopic labyrinths. The study was performed in a lab environment, and the underground system constructed synthetically from silicone. Using a microscope, researchers were able

The world's largest bird, the ostrich, has problems reproducing when the temperature deviates by 5 degrees or more from the ideal temperature of 20 °C. The research, from Lund University, is published in Nature Communications. The results show that the females lay up to 40 percent fewer eggs if the temperature has fluctuated in the days before laying eggs. Both male and female production of gamete

For the first time, a research team led by Lund University in Sweden has mapped out exactly what happens when spruce bark beetles use their sense of smell to find trees and partners to reproduce with. The hope is that the results will lead to better pest control and protection of the forest in the future. The Eurasian spruce bark beetle uses its sense of smell to locate trees and partners. The odo

A Swedish-Danish research team is now launching a new theory of the process that led to the formation of Earth. Through advanced analyses of meteorites, astronomers can determine that Tellus went from being a baby planet made of ice and carbon to reaching its current size thanks to millimetre-sized pebbles. The study also shows that the Earth was formed over a much shorter period than previously t

Sixty-six million years ago, a gigantic celestial body crashed to Earth on the Yucatán peninsula, forming a crater 200 kilometres across. The impact plunged Earth into darkness and killed off the dinosaurs. Now, researchers from Lund University in Sweden, among others, are analysing drill cores from the crater to reconstruct in detail what happened on Earth directly after the impact. The Chicxulub

For 50 years, the world of research has been searching eagerly for the so-called Odderon particle – entirely fruitlessly. However, a Swedish-Hungarian research team has managed to discover the mythical particle with the help of extensive data analyses. In 1973, two French particle physicists were sitting in a basement amazed. According to their calculations, it seemed there was a completely new co

Long life is common among bird parents that get help with childcare. This finding comes from researchers at the universities of Lund and Oxford who reviewed data from more than 9,000 studies. Being a parent can be tough. In general, animals that care for many offspring die young, at least in species where parents are not helped by others. However, in some species things are different and parents r

Volcano or meteorite? Over the past 100 years, two different theories have been put forward to explain the formation of Lake Mien. However, researchers from Lund University can now definitively state in a new study that the lake in Småland was formed by a gigantic celestial object. It was long thought that the circular Lake Mien in southern Småland was the remains of a volcano. However, in 1910 th

Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have discovered that bird blood produces more heat in winter, when it is colder, than in autumn. The secret lies in the energy factories of cells, the mitochondria. Mammals have no mitochondria in their red blood cells, but birds do, and according to the research team from Lund and Glasgow this means that the blood can function as a central heating system w
