Runt 160 personer gästade CASE-dagen den 16 april, som i år arrangerades på Campus Helsingborg. Tema för dagen var goda levnadsvillkor för den åldrande befolkningen. Vad hoppas ni få ut av dagen?– Mer kunskap, då kan vi i PRO driva på. Vi är ju många äldre och vi ska tuffa till oss. Sådan här forskning kan lätt glömmas bort, men är viktig. Våra medlemmar pratar mycket om vården och om äldremottagn

Nu börjar kanadensiska forskningsprojektet ta form, där CASE-forskarna Oskar Jonsson och Björn Slaug ska utforska hem- och närmiljöer som inte inkluderar personer med funktionsnedsättningar. Hem- och närmiljöer som tillgodoser behov hos personer med olika funktionella begränsningar, gör det möjligt för fler att leva ett mer självständigt liv en längre tid med mindre hjälp från andra. – För persone

Neurons thrive and grow in a new type of nanowire material developed by researchers in Nanophysics and Ophthalmology at Lund University in Sweden. In time, the results might improve both neural and retinal implants, and reduce the risk of them losing their effectiveness over time, which is currently a problem. By implanting electrodes in the brain tissue one can stimulate or capture signals from d

People with increased risk of type 2 diabetes need to exercise more than others to achieve the same results, according to new research from Lund University in Sweden. The cause of type 2 diabetes is linked to both genetics and lifestyle. If you have an immediate relative (mother, father, sibling) with type 2 diabetes, the risk of contracting the diabetes is about three times higher. Preventive tre

Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have found a new way to capture energy from sunlight – by using molecules that contain iron. The results are presented in the latest issue of Nature Chemistry. The hope is to develop efficient and environmentally friendly solar energy applications. Solar energy is an inexhaustible resource that we currently only utilise to a very limited extent. Researchers

Solar storms and the particles they release result in spectacular phenomena such as auroras, but they can also pose a serious risk to our society. In extreme cases they have caused major power outages, and they could also lead to breakdowns of satellites and communication systems. According to a study published today in Nature Communications, solar storms could be much more powerful than previousl
