Transparente Tragetaschen erleichtern Studierenden die Mitnahme von Lernunterlagen und Schreibutensilien

Wer die Universitätsbibliothek (UB) als Lernort nutzen möchte, muss die eigene Tasche in einem Schließfach zurücklassen. Um den Studierenden das Mitnehmen von Arbeitsunterlagen und Schreibutensilien zu erleichtern, stellt die UB ihren BenützerInnen seit kurzem die praktischen Bibliobags zur Verfügung. Die transparenten Tragetaschen können am Eingang der Hauptbibliothek sowie der Bibliotheken im RESOWI, am Universitätszentrum Theologie und im Wallgebäude kostenlos aus Ständern entnommen werden. Sie bieten Platz für Skripten und Mitschriften, Laptop und Stifte. Wer will, kann die Bibliobags beim Verlassen der UB zurückgeben oder sie einfach für den nächsten Bibliotheksbesuch behalten.

It was apparently not just the roars of the dinosaurs that made up the soundscape of the animal world during the Jurassic period. Crickets and grasshoppers communicated through a variety of songs and high-pitched sounds, as Thorin Jonsson from the Institute of Biology at the University of Graz discovered together with colleagues from the universities of Lincoln, Bristol (UK), Beijing (China) and Tempe (USA). The findings on what are so far the oldest traces of sound on Earth have just been published in the journal PNAS.

Rescue and risks: Researchers have surveyed public perceptions of AI

The use of artificial intelligence has had to be made transparent since 2 August 2026. The EU’s AI Act, which has been in force since then, also sets out how risky an application is and which security measures apply as a result. However, the assessment of risks by the legislation differs in some cases significantly from the perceptions of the Austrian public. This is the finding of a representative study carried out by data scientist Stefan Thalmann from the University of Graz and his team.

The Healing Sea: Researchers discover new approaches to treating chronic inflammation in sponges

Chronic inflammation plays a key role in many diseases, ranging from metabolic disorders and cardiovascular diseases to tissue damage following injuries or infections. “Normally, the body is able to resolve inflammation on its own. If this process becomes unbalanced, immune cells remain permanently active and continue to drive negative changes in the tissue,” explains Andreas Koeberle, a pharmacist at the University of Graz.
