Effects of climate and aquatic prey on spider ecology in subarctic mountain tundra
Climate change is causing northward expansions of many species, which may change species interactions and rewire food webs.In tundra-like ecosystems, which are experiencing strong...
Creating meaning on the climate crisis: An investigation of commercial algorithms as communication participants
This project examines how Google, Facebook et al contribute to creating meaning on the climate crisis. These algorithmic information systems are invisible but omnipresent communica...
CHIME Pan-cancer: development and validation of AI-based models for cancer precision pathology in populations representative studies
Cancer is a leading cause of death globally.Precision medicine, offering novel (targeted) therapies, has the potential to substantially improve cancer patient outcomes.However, to...
Unlocking plant protein and CRISPR potato starch novel uses: Design of fibre-based absorbents with tailored functionalities
Fibres used in absorbents and medical textiles are made from synthetic polymers and are in urgent need to be replaced.Plant biopolymers, protein and starch, form bio-based material...
Mechanistic basis of mosquito detection of human odor
Mosquito-borne diseases account for more than 17% of all infectious diseases, causing more than 700000 deaths annually.Challenged by insecticide resistance, the lead technologies a...
Mechanisms, prognostic and predictive biomarkers of glioblastoma
Glioblastoma (GBM), the most frequent and aggressive primary brain cancer, has not gained from recent advances in cancer therapies and remains incurable.The majority of patients di...
The promise and perils of the participatory turn in urban governance. A study of the democratic qualities of participatory governance arrangements in Swedish cities from 2000 to 2025
The participatory turn in urban governance is represented as a challenge to dominant entrepreneurial models that privilege centralized, flexible, and a shallower democratic governa...
PigNovations - Improving the design of novel, innovative systems for finisher pigs reared in large groups
In the form of a 4-yr PhD project we will investigate animal welfare and sustainability in novel, innovative stables for groups of several hundred finishing pigs.Large groups of pi...
Use of analgesia to refine fish experiments
Globally, millions of fishes are used in laboratories and they are the second most popular model used in regulated procedures in the European Union, with approximately 60,000 used...
Next generation face-masks
Face masks have been massively used to minimize/prevent the spread of the current Covid 19 virus and other respiratory diseases.Most current face masks are the disposable ones; ove...
Forecasting thermal niche evolution in insect pests
Climate change is altering demography and distribution ranges of insect pests that greatly impact agriculture and cause severe socio-economic losses. Forecasting of insect pests’ r...
Advancing the management of adult ADHD and cooccurring cardiometabolic disease through register-based studies of prognosis, treatment and high-risk groups
What is important?Evidence points to substantial comorbidity between adult ADHD and cardiometabolic disease, i.e., obesity, type-2 Diabetes (T2DM), and cardiovascular disease (CVD)...
CRAFTCIRLEM: enhanced Climate Resilience And Flexibility in complex urban environments Through integrating Collective Intelligence and Reinforcement Learning into Energy Management
Climate change challenges urban life and induce chains of events with disastrous consequences. Climate adaptation of buildings and urban areas is essential as they accommodate many...
Synergies and trade-offs with the use of forest genetic resources for carbon sequestration and conservation in face of climate change
Genetic enhancement of photosynthetic assimilation by forest trees may comprise a powerful tool to help buffer anthropogenic carbon (C) emissions and thus mitigate the consequences...
Nanoplastics - toxic before they disappear?
Plastic and rubber are a growing environmental problem. Especially plastic in our aquatic environments is receiving increasing attention.Small pieces of plastic, micro and nanoplas...
Mechano-stimulated insulin secretion in pancreatic beta-cell: signalling pathways and its applications in diabetes treatment
Diabetes mellitus (DMs) is a rapidly increasing chronic disease that threatens societal health and takes a significant part of public costs in Sweden and worldwide. DMs are charact...
Direct fermentation route for sustainable plastics and superabsorbent polymers
One of the grand challenges of our society today is to replace fossil-based production of chemicals and fuels by sustainable alternatives with a lower carbon footprint and less env...
Deciphering bAD microglia in Alzheimer’s diseases
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) development is connected to microglia, the inflammatory cell of the brain, and ageing is the strongest risk factor. Microglia is found around the Aβ plaque...
Understanding Political Climate Passivity in Sweden and the US
Climate worry is widespread across Western democracies.This is unsurprising, as a broad consensus agrees that current climate politics are insufficient to avoid runaway climate cha...
Effects of bottom trawling on linked ecological-biogeochemical processes: regional implications for marine management and climate mitigation
Marine sediments are increasingly recognised as carbon (C) sinks, potentially important to preserve in mitigating climate change, and essential in nutrient (N,P) cycling.However, b...
