In 13 Lund interviews, several bullied adolescents with obesity said schools aimed responses at them

Several of 13 adolescents with obesity told Lund University researchers that school bullying interventions were aimed at them. The interviews, published in Acta Paediatrica, describe experience and do not measure how common it is.

Lund review finds 8 of 89 big companies in nature-intensive sectors report using biodiversity indicators

Lund University found that 8 of 89 large companies in the sectors that most affect biodiversity report using biodiversity indicators. Six of those eight rely on a single measure, a practice one author warns can protect one part of nature while damaging another.

Biologists recast the honey bee colony as a single animal with a lifespan of a few years

Lund and Oulu biologists argue in Insectes Sociaux that a honey bee colony of tens of thousands of bees is one animal, made of bees as a body is made of cells. Lead author Hannes Bonhoff says that view should change how beekeepers manage queens, swarms and varroa mites.

JetBrains and Lund researchers recast AI code review as a trust-calibration problem

JetBrains and Lund University propose review tools that flag per-segment risk in AI-written code, a design shaped with 17 practitioners and a 43-person survey. They argue diff review cannot keep up with agent-sized changes unless tools show reviewers where to read closely.

Frame-hash replays let CodeScene's agents refactor 300,000 lines of Street Fighter III for $4,000

CodeScene's agents refactored 300,000 lines of Street Fighter III in three weeks for about $4,000 in tokens, taking its Code Health score to 10.0. The run relied on a frame-by-frame replay check and on the score the agents were told to optimize, so the promised savings on later feature work still need their own measurement.

DNA study ties the aurochs' disappearance from Scandinavia to several overlapping pressures

Lund University researchers trace the aurochs' Scandinavian extinction to overlapping pressures, with the last Swedish animals alive at least 6,500 years ago. The lead author draws a case for wildlife corridors from the order in which those pressures arrived.

Alzheimer's rewires brain communication along its own path before the cortex shrinks

Lund University scans of more than 1,000 people show Alzheimer's reorganizes brain connectivity along a path distinct from normal aging. If the result replicates, brain-wide connectivity could join amyloid and tau as a way trials judge whether a drug helps.

CodeScene's AI agents refactored Street Fighter III's codebase for $4,000, checked by a frame-by-frame replay harness

CodeScene's coding agents refactored a 300,000-line C codebase in three weeks for about $4,000 in tokens. The run also depended on a deterministic quality score, and the team's own model comparison cannot say how much of the result belongs to Claude Opus.

Fibrinogen stacks, it does not tilt: a 20-year surface model gets replaced

A decade-long Manchester, Spain and Chile collaboration reports that the clotting protein builds flat multilayers at an air interface, not a single tilting layer. Downstream assumptions inherit the error.
