Carbon Capture and Storage, CCS, technologies have been identified as key to reduce harmful emissions and to mitigate the effects of climate change. A new study, focusing on leading CCS countries, Norway and Brazil, identifies how these technologies should be implemented equitably, applied to hard-to -abate industrial sectors, and not used to justify continued fossil fuel dependency.

Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD), a progressive liver disease that is closely associated with obesity, type 2 diabetes, hypertension and dyslipidaemia, represents an increasing global public health challenge. There is significant variability in the disease course: the majority exhibit only fat accumulation in the liver but a significant minority develop a necroinflammatory form of the dis

Unacceptable pain was frequent. At the 15 year follow-up visit, 34% had unacceptable pain. Patients with unacceptable pain had, compared with patients with tolerable pain, significantly more disease activity, worse patient global assessment, and worse function on the Health Assessment Questionnaire and Signals of Functional Impairment, but the degree of joint destruction was similar. Disease-modif

During the unusually dry year of 2018, Sweden was hit by numerous forest fires. A research team led from Lund University, and partly financed by BECC, has investigated how climate change affects recently burnt boreal forests and their ability to absorb carbon dioxide. The boreal forests form a single biome that spans the entire Northern Hemisphere. These forests play a key role in the global clima

Two new research projects will shortly begin at Lund University in Sweden to investigate how particle emissions from spruce forests affect the climate. The trees’ emissions of reactive hydrocarbons are thought to have a cooling effect on the climate. Almost 70 per cent of land in Sweden is covered with forest, mainly commercially managed coniferous forest. The forests play a central role in affect

Growing amounts of hateful messages sent to journalists are threatening to undermine central democratic concepts. The extent of problem is being investigated at the Sociology of Law Department at Lund University. In the last ten years, more journalists have received hateful and threatening messages online. The trend has led to self-censorship and declining mental health among media professionals.

An international research team has discovered a treatment that dramatically reduces swelling after brain and spinal cord damage. By using an already approved drug on rats, the brain’s water channels could be manipulated with positive results. The new study offers hope to the millions of people who are affected by brain and spinal cord damage. According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), aroun
