The Department of Sociology's Christopher Mathieu is one of the editors of a new and heavy tome clarifying the complex and much-debated issue of the quality of jobs. It is easy to imagine what it is like to have a good job: good pay, low stress, short hours, a lot of freedom and creativity and a strong sense of meaning. Friendly colleagues would be nice. What about a comfortable workspace or an in

In the autumn, Lund University will be introducing a major educational initiative on e-learning and blended learning. It is intended for teaching staff who are curious about testing digital tools in their teaching activities. “For the University, integrating digital technology in physical teaching is a matter of survival – that is why we are making this extra investment”, says Bo-Anders Jönsson, p

The boundaries between biology and technology are becoming blurred. Researchers at Linköping, Lund, and Gothenburg universities in Sweden have successfully grown electrodes in living tissue using the body’s molecules as triggers. The result, published in the journal Science, paves the way for the formation of fully integrated electronic circuits in living organisms. Linking electronics to biologic

At the time of the atmospheric nuclear weapons testing in the 1950s and 1960s, the level of carbon-14 in the atmosphere increased dramatically. Now researchers from Lund University have developed a method for measuring the carbon-14 content in atherosclerotic plaques in patients. The measurements reveal how old and dangerous the plaques really are. "On the one hand it’s important to find out wheth

That life is not fair is hardly news. But that inequalities are at risk of increasing as we seek to improve the health of the population is perhaps unexpected. Health economics is a way of evaluating the potential health benefits of different interventions, setting them against the economic cost and their impact on society. Over two million people in Sweden are currently living with cardiovascular

In a study led by Lund University and the Amsterdam University Medical Center, researchers used PET to analyse aggregates of tau pathology in more than 12,000 people from all over the world. The study – the largest ever of its kind – examines the connection between genetic predisposition, gender and age in relation to tau pathology in Alzheimer’s disease. The study is published in Nature Neuroscie

A meeting at the kitchen table, with lots of coffee and snus. And a donation of SEK 250 million. That’s what happened when Ingvar Kamprad met LTH’s dean in 1998 to talk about the future of industrial design education at the University. The kitchen table belonged to the then dean of LTH Thomas Johannesson, who had invited the founder of IKEA to his house to discuss a collaboration between the desig

The results of the election in September may have an impact on academic freedom and the independence of universities from political power. The principle of keeping an arm's length between politics and higher education and research is increasingly being called into question. “I think we are currently in a situation in which the most important thing is not for universities to receive more money, but
