A place to discuss issues, to make decisions and for brainstorming ideas. Meetings are necessary for the development of a workplace. Even so, claims of the opposite is often heard. With “Why meetings matter” the writers want to acknowledge this social phenomenon that’s so important and yet so hated.  “Why meetings matter” argues that meetings are a crucial feature of modern organisations, demonstr

How should societies adapt to rising seas, floods, and other climate threats? These questions are explored in a new study by LUCSUS researchers. It reveals that the answer is broader than just improved policies – it's about rethinking the very role of law itself. Researchers Ebba Brink, Ana Maria Vargas Falla and Emily Boyd examine how socio-legal processes shape climate vulnerability and resistan

Focusing on China's engagement in Sri Lanka's Hambantota International Port, the article investigates how and why narratives related to the Shekou Model are used to “sell” the development of international Belt and Road Initiative port projects and who the primary beneficiary of this strategy is.

The summer 2022 brought extreme heatwaves in many places globally, and the debate has a included the term "killer heat". In moist areas the high temperatures will be even harder to the human body, and the rising temperatures may make certain areas very hard to live in by the end of this century. High temperatures in combination with humid air may cause extreme heat known as wet bulb temperature, o

Effects of a warmer Arctic are not only negative for the climate, according to a new thesis from the Centre for Environmental and Climate Science at Lund University, Sweden. Modelling showed that moving the tree line upwards could increase carbon storage, as trees sequester more carbon in their biomass than tundra plants. But the results are uncertain. The Arctic – the area north of the Arctic Cir

New research implies that green growth climate mitigation policies are not sufficient for reaching the ambitious targets of the Paris Agreement, to limit global warming to well below 2°C by the end of the century.Green growth policies dominate the climate change mitigation discourse but how much can they contribute to rapid decarbonisation?

Using micro-engineered soil models, researchers at Lund University in Sweden have investigated the effect of tiny polystyrene particles on bacteria and fungi. While these nanoplastics reduced both bacterial and fungal growth, the fungus actually managed to "clean up" their surroundings, thereby easing the effect of the plastics. “Plastic waste is a huge global problem.

The first transplantation of stem cells in patients with Parkinson's disease is almost within reach. However, it remains a challenge for researchers to control stem cells accurately in the lab in order to achieve successful and functional stem cell therapies for patients. - In our preclinical assessments of stem cell-derived dopamine neurons we noticed that the outcome in animal models varied dram

När forskare arbetar i fält kan de ställas inför utmanande och ibland farliga situationer. Hur förbereder Lunds universitet sina doktorander och forskare för fältarbete? När LUM frågar om fakulteternas rutiner blir det tydligt att ansvaret främst ligger på institutionerna. Att hantera farliga situationer i fält när de uppstår räcker inte – universitetet behöver ha tydliga riktlinjer även för att f
