This Regional Outlook provides insight into an emerging environmental hazard: dust storms in the Middle East, one of the driest regions in the world. It also sheds light on the typical drivers and new technologies that can help investigate this phenomenon. Some sustainable mitigation measures are also discussed. Significant changes in recent years, such as population growth and climate change, hav

The new excavations in Uppåkra are at the forefront of cutting edge archaeological techniques. By combining big data, data modelling and DNA sequencing, researchers are currently solving significant parts of a historical puzzle. Perhaps we will learn whether the Justinianic Plague, the forerunner of the Black Death, reached Uppåkra. Until now, this has been uncertain. Torbjörn Ahlström, profes

What role does an inflammatory protein have in disease development? Which neuronal circuits cause different symptoms? How may diabetes affect Parkinson’s disease? Can motor signs be identifies early in individuals at risk for the disease? And how should patients in very advanced disease stages be treated to maintain their quality of life? These questions may soon have answers thanks to several ong

When everyday life is not recognisable, when conversation is silenced, when memories disappear. Alzheimer’s disease is contracted by 60 000 people in Sweden annually and accounts for 60 per cent of all types of dementia disease. There is no cure, but research has come a long way in diagnosing the disease at an early stage. “Over the past ten years there has been a revolution concerning our possibi

A new blood test demonstrated remarkable promise in discriminating between persons with and without Alzheimer’s disease and in persons at known genetic risk may be able to detect the disease as early as 20 years before the onset of cognitive impairment, according to a large international study published today in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) and simultaneously presented at

– We have a moral responsibility to document loss of cultural heritage, indigenous and local knowledge, declining ecosystems and eroding sense of place, says LUCSUS post-doctoral fellow Guy Jackson. He has co-authored a literature review on non-economic loss and damage which highlights the need for more research on intangible cultural heritage, and how it connects to our physical surroundings, as

Public interest in degrowth is on the rise in these times of global warming awareness, but the idea is hardly new. We talked to professor Hervé Corvellec after the 6th International Degrowth Conference took place in Malmoe. "Degrowth is the idea of turning economic development from growth-based into its opposite. A key aspect of today’s economic life is that we consume more than Earth allows. Degr

A warmer world affects health, jobs, migration and welfare. We can no longer talk about the climate as a separate issue, says sustainability professor Emily Boyd. – Climate change has long been seen as something separate from society. People often talk about negative effects on our natural environment rather than how a changed climate may affect our everyday lives. This means that many people, per
