Kan handeln bidra till tryggheten i ett område? I en ny forskningsrapport har forskare från Lunds universitet undersökt handelns betydelse för trygghet i en stadsmiljö. Rapporten som publiceras av Handelsrådet belyser hur dagligvaruhandeln främjar tryggheten både i butiken och de områden där de har sin verksamhet. Den upplevda tryggheten i en stadsmiljö är viktig för invånarnas välbefinnande. Det

Psykologprogrammet på Lunds universitet ger nu Sveriges första kurs i psykedelisk vetenskap och terapi. Ny forskning har visat att terapier som stöds av psykedeliska substanser ger goda behandlingsresultat vid ångest, depression och posttraumatiskt stressyndrom. Trots detta har det inte funnits någon högre utbildning i psykedelisk vetenskap i Sverige, tills nu. Den 7 december introducerar psykolog

Plantering av syntetiskt DNA, biometrisk utpressning av makthavare och genetisk hybridkrigföring. Det är några av de nya risker som har uppstått genom de forskningsframsteg som gjorts inom genetisk teknologi och kan utnyttjas i modern krigföring. Forskare vid Lunds universitet menar att vi behöver identifiera vilka de mest kritiska riskerna är och diskutera hur dessa kan förebyggas. Det internatio

I en hållbar utveckling av landsbygden är jaktturism en viktig pusselbit. Jaktturism kan skapa arbetstillfällen och bidra till att traditioner bevaras, men som företagare möter man också unika utmaningar, konstaterar forskarna i ett forskningsprojekt som finansierats av Naturvårdsverket. – Jakt handlar traditionellt om viltförvaltning och rekreation. Den som verkar inom jaktturism ska också förhål

På COP-mötets första dag i Dubai togs ett formellt beslut om att inrätta en fond för att stötta utvecklingsländer att hantera klimatskador. En pragmatisk framgång för klimaträttvisa menar hållbarhetsprofessorn Emily Boyd som nu hoppas att även Sverige ska följa efter med löften om finansiellt stöd. Emily Boyd, professor vid Lund University Centre for Sustainability Studies, är en av få experter i

Uppsåt, skuld och motiv är begrepp som förekommer betydligt oftare än ondska inom juridiken. – Det handlar mer om att bedöma rätt eller fel, inte om att vara ond eller god, säger Karl Dahlstrand, universitetslektor och forskare i rättssociologi. Om vi går tillbaka i tiden förekommer där­emot begreppet ondska inom juridiken. I Romarriket exempelvis resonerade man gärna kring begreppet.– I den romer

Ofta kan en och samma handling ses som både ond och god. Allt beror på vilket perspektiv man har, offrets eller förövarens. Det menar Magnus Lindén, som i sin forskning inom psykologi bland annat intresserar sig för människans mörka sidor. – Jag menar att det inte går att tala om en människa som genuint ond. Inom social­psykologin tittar vi på vad människor gör och forskare är överens om att alla

Vetenskapsrådets indragna anslag till utvecklingsforskning har drabbat forskare vid Lunds universitet hårt. – Det här har vi sett i andra länder där ytterhögerpartier har haft stort inflytande, säger Anders ­Uhlin, professor i statsvetenskap och en av de forskare som hade lämnat in en ansökan om anslag. Sydostasien har länge varit Anders Uhlins område. I december förra året befann han sig i Indone

The most common form of childhood cancer is acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL). Researchers at Lund University in Sweden, in cooperation with Karolinska Institutet, SciLifeLab and the University of Cambridge, have now carried out the most extensive analysis to date of ALL at the protein level, by studying the activity in over 8 000 genes and proteins. The results show aberrant folding in the DNA

Indian women are younger and leaner than Swedish women when they develop gestational diabetes, a new study from Lund University shows. The researchers also found a gene that increases the risk of gestational diabetes in Swedish women, but which, on the contrary, turned out to have a protective effect in Indian women. Gestational diabetes is characterized by impaired insulin production and insulin

After a series of studies, researchers at Lund University in Sweden, together with colleagues in Italy, have shown that not only one part, but most parts of the brain can be involved in processing the signals that arise from touch. The results open the way for a new approach to how the brain’s network of neurons processes information, and thereby the mechanisms by which the brain works. The resear

The loss of animals, often due to unregulated or illegal hunting, has consequences for the carbon storage capacity of forests, yet this link is rarely mentioned in high-level climate policy discussions, according to a new study from Lund University in Sweden and the University of Copenhagen in Denmark. Many wildlife species play a key role in dispersing the seeds of tropical trees, particularly la

In recent years, it has become increasingly clear to researchers that the protein galectin-3 is involved in inflammatory diseases in the brain. A study led by researchers at Lund University in Sweden now shows the de facto key role played by the protein in Alzheimer’s disease. When the researchers shut off the gene that produces this protein in mice, the amount of Alzheimer’s plaque and the inflam

The greatest threat to biodiversity today is different species losing their habitats. To reverse this trend will require action on many societal levels, and there are simple things you can do in your own garden to help, according to Lund University researchers Anna Persson and Caroline Isaksson.

Optic fiber broadband expansion could be reducing companies’ performance and turnover, according to a new study from Lund University in Sweden.

In a new study, Lund University economic historian Erik Bengtsson debunks the myth that Sweden was destined to become a social democratic country. Instead, he argues that it was actually against all odds, as Sweden in the early 1900s was one of the western world’s most unequal countries – and the least democratic in western Europe. Has Sweden always flown the flag for equality and welfare? No, tha
