Exploring the response of Mercury’s Magnetosheath to extreme solar wind
The goal of this project is to make significant progress in the understanding of how the plasma environment of the inner most planet of the Solar system – Mercury, interacts with t...
Sex disparities in social health, resilience, and cognition across the life course: the interplay between biological and sociocultural aspects
Research problem and specific questions Dementia poses a major public health challenge with no cure, underscoring the need for prevention by tackling risk/protective factors like s...
Exploring the direct and delayed effects of microgravity on beta-cell proliferation and effect of long-lasting microgravity on neural crest stem cells (Ax-3)
We previously showed in ground experiments that boundary cap neural crest stem cells (BC) induce insulin-producing β-cell proliferation in pancreatic islets.After Maser 14 (M14) so...
AI-based retrieval scheme for warm and cold precipitation for use with satellite data: global survey compared with climate simulation
MotivationPrecipitation is critical for climate and climate change. It determines the net latent heating influencing mesoscale and large-scale circulations.It also affects the Eart...
Electrodynamic interactions with the planet Mercury – ESA/JAXA BepiColombo exploration begins
ESA’s cornerstone project BepiColombo is a spacecraft mission to the planet Mercury in co-operation between ESA and JAXA.It consists of the Mercury Magnetospheric Orbiter (MMO), an...
UTMOST – Ultra-thin monitoring sensors for implants
Sensors are used to monitor health conditions but can also be envisioned to monitor the integration and performance of bone- and soft tissue-implanted devices.The current bulky des...
Integrative analysis of musculoskeletal changes after bedrest
This research proposal is submitted in response to the Swedish National Space Agency (SNSA) call 2024-R for research funding.The project presented here has been selected for defini...
Unlocking the Potential of Organic Photovoltaics: Integrating Molecular Dynamics Simulations and Microgravity Experiments for Optimised Film Morphology and Enhanced Solar Cell Performance
The need for sustainable energy solutions has promoted the development of organic photovoltaic (OPV) solar cells, which offer low-cost processing and power conversion efficiencies...
StripES: Strip cropping for harnessing ecosystem services - a farm-scale system design
Moving away from sole cropping, where crop species are grown in large-scale pure stands, by enhancing in-field crop diversity holds promise to promote biodiversity and enhance ecos...
From minerals to functional magnets
We bring together four interdisciplinary research groups with expertise in Earth Sciences, Inorganic Chemistry, Materials Science and Theoretical Physics, to address the outstandin...
Does GOING HOME truly serve the best interest of children placed in out-of-home care? Patterns of family reunification and its impact on the use of healthcare services in children and young people
Research problems and specific questions.Reunification of children placed in out-of-home care (OHC) with their family of origin is an overarching goal of Swedish child welfare.Howe...
Basal Melting of the Riiser-Larsen Ice Shelf in East Antarctica and its Contribution to Sea Level Rise by 2300
We are in a period of rapidly accelerating change across the Antarctic continent and Southern Ocean, with land ice loss leading to sea level rise and climate impacts.The ice-ocean...
The pivotal transition from adolescence to young adulthood in a turbulent time. What the STARS cohort can tell us about health consequences now - and beyond.
This project focuses on health of young individuals transitioning from adolescence to young adulthood within the STARS cohort, a unique study monitoring both mental and physical he...
Prescription opioid misuse: improving prevention and treatment
Research problem and specific questions: This project aims to prevent misuse of prescription opioid analgesics and improve interventions for people dependent on these prevalent and...
The interaction between atmospheric gravity waves and the polar vortex
Atmospheric gravity waves are wind and temperature perturbations in the atmosphere.They can propagate upwards from their sources in the troposphere and carry energy and momentum al...
Southern Ocean Time Capsules [SOniC]: unravelling lives of microorganisms in the paleo-ocean to predict the future of climate change
SOniC provides a unique opportunity to understand the long-term dynamics of microorganisms in the Southern Ocean from past to present.Using pre-existing sequencing data from 100 wa...
Menstrual Needs and Toilet Room Standards: A Comparative Study of Finland and Sweden
By comparing two different toilet standards - Sweden and Finland - a crucial yet overlooked and under-researched everyday technology is explored.Critical architecture scholars have...
Rewilding effects on ecosystem resilience to droughts and wildfires across Europe
One grand challenge under climate change is to ensure the resilience (both resistance and recovery capacity) of ecosystems and their sustainable provision of services to society.Re...
Data-driven development of a model for home care in advanced heart failure, supported by user experience design and telemedicine
Research problem and specific questionsPatients with end-stage heart failure (HF) frequently undergo repeated hospitalizations as a standard practice but would most likely benefit...
Landscape effects on retention patch success
Retention forestry aims to achieve sustainable harvesting while supporting biodiversity conservation.Although it is commonly practiced in Sweden, we lack knowledge of how the lands...
