Kriget i Gaza har skapat konflikter på universitet i Sverige och i andra länder. Motsättningarna mellan demonstranter och universitetsledningar och mellan grupper av anställda lär ta tid att överbrygga. Vi har träffat både LU:s rektor och demonstranter från tältlägret i Lundagård. I LUM ger de sin syn på vägen framåt. Vi har också intervjuat Lundaforskare med vitt skilda specialiteter och frågat h

Birds are masters of flight and can even outperform aircraft. Bar-tailed godwits, for example, can fly from Alaska to New Zealand – 11 600 km – in one eight-day, non-stop flight! To manage this, the birds must be able to fly very efficiently. How do they do it? What does a feather have that an aircraft wing does not? One of the greatest challenges in today’s society is to reduce the consumption of

Nyligen lämnade socialtjänsten i Malmö på polisens begäran ut sekretessbelagda uppgifter om papperslösa familjer. Denna begäran var en del av polisens intensifierade arbete med att söka efter och avvisa personer som lever i papperslöshet. Således agerade Malmös socialtjänst som polisens förlängda arm.Från Socialhögskolans sida vill vi lyfta fram vikten av ett professionsetiskt perspektiv, vilket i

Swimming fish do not appear to use their collision warning system in the same way as flying insects, according to new research from Lund University in Sweden that has compared how zebra fish and bumblebees avoid collisions. The fish surprised the researchers. All animals need some form of warning system that prevents them colliding with objects in their surroundings. The warning system helps them

When we think of dinosaurs, we often imagine majestic giants that ruled the Earth millions of years ago. But even these ancient creatures were not immune to diseases familiar to humans today, such as osteoarthritis. Osteoarthritis is relatively rare in today’s wild mammals (less than 1%) but is not uncommon in domestic or working animals like dogs and horses, as well as in birds, with a prevalence

Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have developed a method which determines not only whether a chemical or substance is allergenic, but also how strong its potential for causing hypersensitivity is. This will aid in the establishment of so-called threshold values – or how much of a substance is safe to use in a product. Until now, the only way of achieving similar results has been through an

Alzheimer’s disease can lead to several widely divergent symptoms and, so far, its various expressions have mainly been observed through the behaviour and actions of patients. Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have now produced images showing the changes in the brain associated with these symptoms – a development which increases knowledge and could facilitate future diagnostics and treatmen
