Klimatfrågan är en av vår tids största globala samhällsutmaningar. I det arbetet är forskningen om vart klimatet är på väg en viktig del. Både för att kunna följa att de utsläppsminskningar som världens länder avtalat om i Paris 2015 verkligen får en effekt, men också för att vara bättre förberedda på de klimatförändringar som vi inte kommer att kunna undvika. En klimatmodell utvecklad av forskare

Begreppet ”ekosystemtjänster” har på senare år blivit allt vanligare både i forskarvärlden, bland kommuner och myndigheter och i företag. Förenklat kan det beskrivas som den nytta vi människor har av naturens ekosystem – till exempel för den mat vi äter, luften vi andas, rening av vattnet vi dricker, bioenergi för att värma våra hus, trä till papper och byggnader och så vidare. Listan är lång och

Mark Brady, Cecilia Larsson och Ida Nordin från CEC och AgriFood har på inbjudan av EU-kommissionen deltagit i en så kallad Civil Dialogue Group i Bryssel. På dialogmötets agenda fanns bland annat EU-kommissionens första utkast till en reformerad jordbrukspolitik, The Future of Food and Farming, som offentliggjordes i november. Bakgrunden till AgriFoods och CEC:s inbjudan att delta är den nyligen

Ett varierat landskap med hagar, ängar och andra oplöjda miljöer gynnar pollinerande insekter. I slättlandskap som domineras av plöjd åkermark saknar de pollinerande insekterna både mat och boplatser. Sådda blomremsor kan förbättra de pollinerande insekternas tillgång till mat och antas därför gynna pollinering. Ny forskning visar dock att de sådda blomremsornas effekt på pollineringen är begränsa

We usually associate ageing with a shrinking life span, sickness and death. The difficulty of imagining ourselves as old means that we go to great lengths to avoid planning for later life. Yet researchers argue that we have everything to gain by looking at life as a journey where preparations for the future provide opportunities for living a full life – until it really is over. We are all aware th

Through molecular studies of knee tissue and advanced synchrotron radiation imaging techniques, researchers hope to gain new insights into the early development of osteoarthritis. The hope is to pave the way for new treatments. For almost five years, researchers in Lund have been collecting knee tissue from over 700 people in a biobank. With the support of the Skåne University Hospital Tissue Bank

Despite a widespread and outdated view of older people, and an abundance of stereotypes, awareness of what is known as ageism is limited. A new short guide gives tips for how you can use your communication to counter discrimination against older people. The World Health Organisation (WHO) and the United Nations (UN) have been highlighting ageism for almost 20 years. Put simply, ageism can be descr

Researchers led by Lund University in Sweden have assisted microbiologists in Ukraine in investigating bacterial resistance among the war-wounded patients treated in hospitals. The results, which were recently published in The Lancet Infectious Diseases, reveal that many of the patients were affected by bacteria that exhibited an extremely high level of antibiotic resistance. “I am quite thick-ski

Different species of migrating bird have different genetically programmed procedures that signal when it is time to head off and when it is time to return. It may have to do with factors such as daylight, temperature, weather and the Earth’s magnetic field. These migration programmes have been studied before, but new technology and computational capacity make it possible to process large amounts o

Transistors that can change properties are important elements in the development of tomorrow’s semiconductors. With standard transistors approaching the limit for how small they can be, having more functions on the same number of units becomes increasingly important in enabling the development of small, energy-efficient circuits for improved memory and more powerful computers.

An international group of researchers has been studying a group of microorganisms called Asgard archaea for several years. According to the research, these unique organisms are the origin of all complex life forms that we see around us today. The first life forms that evolved on Earth were called prokaryotes – a group of single-celled organisms that include bacteria. However, between two and three

The climate control used by termites in their mounds could inspire tomorrow’s climate-smart buildings. New research from Lund University in Sweden shows that future buildings inspired by the termites could achieve the same effect as traditional climate control, but with greater energy efficiency and without its carbon dioxide footprint. Termite mounds have a sophisticated ventilation system that e

Lewy body disease is the second most common neurodegenerative disease after Alzheimer's disease. A research group from Lund University has now shown that the disease can be detected before symptoms appear, using a spinal fluid test. The studies are published in Nature Medicine, where the researchers also demonstrate that reduced sense of smell is strongly linked to Lewy body disease even before ot

The dry summer of 2018 hit Swedish forests hard - and hardest affected were the managed secondary forests. This according to a new study from Lund University in Sweden. Northern boreal forest ecosystems are predicted to experience more frequent summer droughts in the future. The majority of Swedish forest are secondary forests that are managed commercial forests with little diversity in species an
