The Department of Geology at the university and the Swedish National Heritage Board have initiated a collaboration on palaeclimate reconstruction. The main source of information is a sediment sequence from the dead-ice lake of Lyngsjön, just north of Everöd on the Kristianstad plain.

Nuclear Compton scattering — the elastic scattering of photons — from 12C has been studied at the Tagged-Photon Facility at MAX IV in Lund, Sweden. The differential cross section for the reaction was determined at laboratory angles of 60° and 120° in the energy range 65-95 MeV. The cross section for nuclear Compton scattering is related to the electric and magnetic polarisabilities of the proton a

När kvinnor ägnar sig åt matematik löper de risken att utsättas för stereotyphot och bli bedömda efter den negativa stereotypen som existerar kring kvinnor och matematisk förmåga (Spencer & Steele, 1999). Den aktuella studien undersöker ifall information om stereotyphot påverkar lärarstudenters attityder kring könsstereotyper och matematik. En enkätundersökning med tre olika betingelser deladeWhen women engage in mathematics they are at risk of stereotype threat and can be judged by the negative stereotype that exists about women and mathematical ability (Spencer & Steele, 1999). The current study investigates if information about stereotype threat affects student teachers’ attitudes about gender stereotypes and math. A questionnaire with three different conditions were distributed
