The idea of publishing research findings in open access journals is in many ways an asset in the research community. Unfortunately, it has also entailed the emergence of many unprofessional agents on the market. Their only purpose is to trick researchers into giving them money.

If you look carefully at Niclas Nilsson’s hands and arms, you can still see the scars from all the injections he has received through the years for his haemophilia, although they have faded considerably since January 2020.

In connection with the ongoing main University building renovation project, the National Property Board (SFV) discovered during an inspection that the building’s four sphinxes are in such poor condition that they must be taken down and recast. This is to prevent the risk of injury to passers-by from falling pieces of concrete. It is hoped that the recast sphinxes will be in place in 2022. The top
