Research paves the way for sustainable dietary guidelines

Foto: iStock/Magda Tymczyj. The EAT-Lancet diet is a framework designed to promote environmental sustainability while also preventing common diseases such as type 2 diabetes. How do we know if the diet actually works? An international research team studied seven dietary scores and found that two of them were particularly good at evaluating adherence to the diet. Reliable diet scores are important

Swedish female ice hockey players in favour of body checking

In a recent study, eighty-eight per cent of the respondents said they were in favour of body checking. Sixty-four per cent said they did not think there would be more injuries. Photo: Istock/vencavolrab In 2022, Sweden became the first country in the world to allow body checking in women's ice hockey. Major hockey nations are now following Lund University's research on the consequences of tougher

AI forces teachers to change the way courses are examined

ChatGPT is one of the AI services used in cheating. Academic misconduct has increased with about 200% during the past covid years. As a precaution Lund University has started a project to prevent deception and misleading in examination, whether it’s unauthorized cooperation, plagiarism, or non-allowed aids. In every study environment there is a unique culture, with boundaries to what is considered
