Den 26 oktober är det dags för nästa halvdagsseminarium i Lund, denna gång om VBE i skolan. Forskare och beslutsfattare inom skola och utbildning kommer, tillsammans med forskare från VBE-programmet, att föreläsa och diskutera om hur vetenskap och beprövad erfarenhet förstås, och bör förstås, i skolans värld. Program för dagen hittar du här. Föranmälan krävs då det är begränsat antal platser. Anmä

Early 2016, the VBE group arranged a half-day workshop in Lund on the theme VBE in Medicine. Participants from areas such as obstetrics, oncology, neuro surgery, and nursing science provided a variety of perspectives on how science and proven experience is perceived "out there". The talks from the workshop has here been put together in a publication that is the first of what will become a series,

What are opinions, what are facts and what are outright lies? The latest PISA assessment clearly shows that children and young adults have difficulties navigating the fast flow of information in society today. When anyone at all can make their voice heard it also becomes more difficult to recognise misleading information and fake news. Together, actors, performing arts teachers and researchers are

A new study from Lund University in Sweden on how the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine affects human liver cells under experimental conditions, has been viewed more than 800,000 times in just over a week. The results have been widely discussed across social media – but the results have in many cases been misinterpreted. Two of the authors, Associate Professor Yang de Marinis (YDM) and Professor Ma

Vladimir Putin is driven by the old nationalistic theory about the western world’s conspiracy against Russia states Tova Höjdestrand, senior lecturer in Social Anthropology and a researcher whose areas of interest include Russia and nationalism. According to her, Russian conservatives have driven a radical conspiracy theory since the 1800s about how the west is trying to eliminate the east and tha

Any war crimes and accusations of genocide could be investigated by two different courts, both in The Hague. Jessica Almqvist, professor at the Department of Law, analyses what this involves. “There are not many who would dispute the unlawfulness of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine”, says Jessica Almqvist. Some days ago, Ukraine held Russia accountable for having violated the UN convention on genocide

The media in Russia and Ukraine live different lives. The media in Ukraine is quite free, whereas Russia lies at the bottom of international comparisons of media freedom, says Anamaria Dutceac Segesten, senior lecturer in European Studies at the Centre for Languages and Literature and associate professor of Strategic Communication. Her research has included the study of political communication in

The fighting at Chernobyl has caused an increase in radioactive radiation levels. Aleh Cherp, a professor at the International Institute for Industrial Environmental Economics (IIIEE), has studied energy security and Chernobyl. He thinks that the sanctions could lead to significant changes in the types of energy used in Europe. During the first days of the invasion, there was fighting close to the

In many ways, Swedish industrialisation began in the home. Women spun, wove and sewed clothes for payment in between their daily agricultural tasks, food preparation and childcare. But didn’t all industrial production gradually move into the factories? ‟No, it didn’t. That is a common misconception,” says economic historian Malin Nilsson, who is researching paid home industry work. ‟That is an ove

An international research team led by Lund University in Sweden has managed to study the flight behaviour of the mysterious black swift. They found, among other things, that the black swift rises to extreme heights during a full moon, seemingly catching insects in the moonlight. And, during a lunar eclipse, the birds simultaneously lost altitude. The results are published in Current Biology. The b

White dwarfs were once normal stars similar to the Sun but then collapsed after exhausting all their fuel. These interstellar remnants have historically been difficult to study. However, a recent study from Lund University in Sweden reveals new information about the movement patterns of these puzzling stars. White dwarfs have a radius of about 1 percent of the Sun’s. They have about the same mass,
