Market economics, not degrowth, will enable sustainable societies. For economist Fredrik N G Andersson the answer is crystal clear – researchers advocating for degrowth are wrong. “They miss the mark by attacking growth instead of the actual problem,” he says. The subject of degrowth awakes a lot of interest. Its critics are as vocal as its proponents. Fredrik N G Andersson, assistant professor at

Economists are obsessed with growth. So says economist Timothée Parrique, who has recently attracted attention for his research into degrowth. He thinks that creativity is missing from economic theory. “Economists stubbornly attempt to solve today’s problems with yesterday’s theories,” he says. Trusting one’s gut instinct can bring rewards. In Timothée Parrique’s case that was certainly true – tod

A sudden bang. The hand grenade has caused me severe shrapnel injuries: a punctured lung, my liver is bleeding and the wound on my leg is causing rapid blood loss. The medics decide that this requires an intervention from the trauma squad. I am loaded onto a stretcher and driven to the surgery tent. It is Monday morning, and the Aurora 23 military exercise is in full swing in southern Sweden. I am

A month ago, I made a visit to the University of Gothenburg’s Research Board. While there, I was asked, “Why has Lund University performed so incredibly well in Horizon Europe?” I counted myself lucky to have received an update beforehand from Research Services that we have been very successful, otherwise I would have been caught off guard. It just goes to show that we must update our view of ours

From the autumn, the University will have to pay VAT on income from employees’ semester parking permits, since the Swedish Tax Agency (Skatteverket) has taken a new position on employers offering parking spaces to their employees. This means that the price of the autumn semester permit will be 25 per cent higher. Prices for the autumn semester parking permits for employees will be: Zone A: SEK 790

Ett svenskt forskarlag lett från Karolinska Institutet har lyckats förhindra insjuknande i typ 1-diabetes hos möss, som är särskilt framavlade för att få sjukdomen. Genom att injicera särskilt preparerade celler i mössen kunde forskarna avbryta pågående, långt gångna angrepp på de insulinproducerande betacellerna. Typ 1-diabetes är en autoimmun sjukdom vilket innebär att kroppens immunförsvar angr

Nitrat, som förekommer naturligt i till exempel spenat, har en kraftigt positiv effekt på muskelstyrka. Nu har forskare vid Karolinska Institutet lyckats förklara vad det beror på, genom att identifiera två relevanta proteiner som ökar i musklerna efter intag av nitrat. I undersökningen fick möss nitrat via sitt dricksvatten, något som fick dem att uppvisa en kraftigt ökad muskelstyrka – och detta

En av tio typ 1 diabetiker har också glutenintolerans. Mönstret är att diabetes kommer först, sedan glutenintolerans. Det är sällan tvärtom, och det kan bero på att glutenfri kost fördröjer typ 1 diabetes, menar danska forskare. Detta skulle kunna förklara varför en sexårig pojke med typ 1 diabetes ännu 20 månader efter diagnosen fortfarande klarar sig helt utan insulin. Både typ 1 diabetes och gl

Tvärtemot all logik lever smala nyinsjuknade typ 2 diabetiker farligare än överviktiga och feta. Forskarna förklarar ”fetmaparadoxen” med att de som drabbas av diabetes trots normalvikt är särskilt sårbara individer och att det sannolikt ligger genetiska faktorer bakom. Sambandet mellan övervikt/fetma och typ 2 diabetes är mycket starkt, 80 till 90 procent av alla är överviktiga. Men när forskarna

Nya positiva forskningsresultat för behandling av typ 1-diabetes presenteras av forskare vid Lunds universitet. Med en tablett sänks blodsockret samtidigt som patienten har ett bevarat skydd mot för lågt blodsocker. Forskningsresultaten uppmärksammades då de presenterades vid en amerikansk diabeteskonferens, ADA, i juni i år. Nu är de publicerade i The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolis
