Research on the chimpanzees at Furuvik is suspended
The incident at Furviksparken causes Lund University to stop research collaboration, TT reports.
The reason is the police’s report of a violation of the Animal Protection Act and the County Administrative Board’s investigation.
– The department decided that we are suspending the work with the chimpanzees while waiting to see how it goes with the report that the police drew up as well as the county board’s upcoming investigation, says Mathias Osvath, one of the researchers to TT.
It was on Wednesday that five chimpanzees escaped from their enclosures and four of them were shot. Three of them died. The injury status of the fourth is unclear, but it is feared that it too may be dead.
Mathias Osvath has followed the chimpanzees and their behavior for several years and calls what happened deeply tragic.
That a chimpanzee is injured is something that the others are probably aware of.
– That someone is injured, or worse, is something that chimpanzees can take into account. So do dogs and many other animals. At the same time, they have never heard shots or been shot, so the question is whether they understand what has happened, he says.

The situation in the children’s intensive care unit at the Karolinska University Hospital in Solna is serious and requires an intervention from the Work Environment Agency, according to the union Vårdförbundet, writes DN.
It is about a pressured work situation.
– A strained situation has become extreme. There is not sufficient preparedness for the virus wave we knew was coming, says Rozita Zarif, the Health Care Confederation’s chief protection officer, to the newspaper.
The union believes that the measures that have been taken during the year are not sufficient.
The situation has become more strained now with a sharp increase in the RS virus, which the children’s intensive care unit has had difficulty dealing with.
– We hope that the Swedish Work Environment Agency will come and inspect as soon as possible. It is our responsibility as chief safety representative to report when the work environment is under criticism and we feel that the employer is not following the work environment law, says Rozita Zarif.

Trains are cheaper than flights nine times out of ten
The domestic train is cheaper than flying nine times out of ten, an analysis of the price of 22,000 tickets by Echo.
The tickets were collected over eight weeks in December and January, without checked luggage but with one carry-on bag.
The train is still cheaper seven times out of ten even if you make the flight as cheap as possible and only look at the single cheapest ticket every day, reports the radio channel.
Oskar Fröidh, a railway researcher at KTH, believes that people’s perception of the price picture can be affected by the fact that aviation works more with cover prices, among other things.
– It is communicated that it is expensive to travel by train, he says.
