Why don't we learn about nutrition and cooking at school? Primary research and interviews conducted at a high school in Lund reveal that parents are the ones cooking (or ordering takeaways) at home, and that students have no understanding of how food is prepared in their school. At university, students are most commonly seen eating frozen meals and pasta for lunch. Yet Swedish students receive

In times of heightened dissensus over the liberal democratic order, normative theories of the EU need to adapt to be able to capture how the promotion and enforcement of values go hand in hand with their contestation. Research on global LGBT politics has shown that the promotion and enforcement of LGBT equality make possible and shape the anti-LGBT dissent it seeks to combat. Understood as a parad

This book examines how caseworkers are governed in today’s street-level bureaucracies. It redefines our understanding of public sector governance by highlighting the subtle, informal, and everyday forms of organizational governance that shape caseworkers’ subjectivities beyond formal policies and professional identities. Based on four distinct types of normative governance – ‘governance by discour

Greenwashing is on the rise as a strategy for maintaining business-as-usual through false ecological claims. This paper articulates an approach to the study of greenwashing guided by the philosophy of critical realism. In its first move, it identifies greenwashing as depending on the possibility of socially conflating the relation between transitive and intransitive objects of knowledge. The paper

Svensk Kolinlagring och Lunds universitet (LUCSUS) samlade 19 personer för en workshop på Torsåker gård i syfte att diskutera styrmedel och strategier för att öka kolinlagringen i jordbruksmark, och hur dessa verktyg skulle kunna utformas för att stödja en omställning till ett socialt och ekologiskt hållbart matsystem. Deltagarna representerade olika delar och nivåer av matsystemet och bidrog med

This article investigates how social media can enable and constrain civil society organizations’ (CSOs) discharge of accountability. Based on a comparative analysis of the Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter (X) posts of the Swedish Red Cross during 1 year (N = 1014), we propose a framework of affordances that illustrate how platform features, practices, norms, and perceptions about audiences jointly

BACKGROUND: Proteases are important enzymes in food and pharmaceutical industries, but challenges persist in their recombinant production due to host cell proteome hydrolysis and fitness loss. The development of recombinant expression systems for directed evolution of proteolytic enzymes, and industrial production are desirable. This study evaluated Saccharomyces cerevisiae as expression host for

The Swedish artist Tomas Lundgren’s series The Task of Mourning (2019) consists of nearly-but-not-quite perfect reproductions of photographs from the first half of the twentieth century. Through painting inexact copies of photographic remnants from this time in European history, the series can be seen as a slow contemplation of this historical period. In this article, I discuss theories of mournin

Några av världens allra främsta universitet har blivit måltavla i Trumpadministrationens kamp mot ”galna marxister” som presidenten kallar ledningen där. Vad blir följderna? Ginna Lindberg, SR:s USA-korrespondent har följt frågan och ger en resumé och bild av stämningen. Hon har själv fått frågor av akademiker om hur de ska göra för att flytta till Europa med sin forskning. Historikern Johan Östli

Weather radars detect more than weather, they also continuously register the movements of billions of animals aloft in the lower atmosphere. This makes archived, unfiltered weather radar data a goldmine for biological monitoring purposes, providing coverage of the aerial habitat in a way no other method can. Here we present two datasets of biological data extracted from European weather radar data

With the increasing complexity and scale of modern software systems, ensuring software security is more critical than ever. As projects grow, so does the likelihood of vulnerabilities being introduced. Static Application Security Testing (SAST) tools assist developers in identifying such vulnerabilities during development. In this study, five Java SAST tools (Bearer, CodeQL, Horusec, Semgrep and S
