When health education becomes unhealthy: An exploration into Orthorexia Nervosa in Swedish schools
Health-related school subjects in Sweden address different health topics, including healthy eating. Healthy eating is something that many people aspire to, mainly for health reason...
Structure, dynamics and applications of negative ions
The purpose and aim of this proposal is to develop novel experimental techniques and conduct key experiments on atomic and molecular negative ions. The experiments will be conducte...
Origin, adaptive significance and underlying mechanisms of toxicity in birds and frogs
Despite knowing for decades that some birds and frogs eat prey containing the same potent neurotoxins (Batrachotoxin – BTX), there is a major gap in our understanding of how these...
Harnessing Chaos for Chemically Recyclable Biocomposites
I propose a new paradigm in step-growth polymerization based on increasing entropy (chaos) in the system instead of classical small molecule removal.This paradigm enables me to syn...
MicroRNAs as regulators of gene- and tissue-specific stop codon readthrough
Stop codon readthrough (SCR) refers to when the ribosome surpasses a stop codon, leading to the synthesis of elongated protein isoforms. Our recent study established the functional...
Impact of softness of individual colloids on the shear banding in soft glassy materials
We will understand the role of the softness of an individual colloid on the structuring and macroscopic properties of a suspension under flow.Suspensions of microgels (soft deforma...
Biocatalytic cascades for the surface functionalization of lignocellulosic fibres
Lignocellulosic fibres are attractive materials that can replace traditional fossil-based products due to their unique functional properties.Lignocellulosic biomass consist of a ne...
Capillary driven flow through Bio-inspired Hierarchical Anisotropic Porous Structures - BioCap-Flow
Capillary driven flow is essential in both nature and technology, aiding in everything from plant nutrition to function of a dish cloth.The flow is especially complex for flow into...
Charge transfer in ionic thermoelectrics
The large amount of free heat from nature and industry waste has promoted a strong research interest in heat-to-electricity conversion.Thermoelectric materials that can generate el...
Långsam rekurrens och svagt expanderande funktioner
Given a function f defined on the complex plane (or the Riemann sphere or other complex manifolds) we say that the nth iterate of f is the new function formed by composing f with i...
Operator algebras on Lp-spaces
This project sets out to explore the frontiers of operator algebras acting on Lp-spaces, an emergent area in functional analysis that extends the mathematical framework of quantum...
Marine prokaryotes, keystone populations in the changing ocean
The objective of this project is to comprehend and quantify the link between microbial functioning and the turnover of marine dissolved organic matter (DOM). The majority of molecu...
Turbulence fluxes across the air-sea-ice interface in the marginal ice zone and their influence on polar cyclones
Sea ice floes, which vary in size from centimeters to hundreds of kilometers, have a significant impact on momentum and heat fluxes across the air-sea-ice interface within the Marg...
Reactive fractionation of biomass to give lignin carbonates
To realize a biorefinery, all components of biomass should be valorized: including lignin. In current biorefineries such as pulp mills the lignin fraction is compromised in favor o...
Diagnosing neglected tropical diseases with REASSURED and sustainable point-of-care-tests
Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTDs) affect >1 billion people and cause 200,000 deaths, mostly in impoverished communities in low-income countries such as Congo and Ethiopia a...
How sensory input is integrated to steer straight
All animal navigators are faced with the challenging task of making sense of multiple directional cues to steer their desired course.But due to variable terrain, unpredictable weat...
Ultrafast dynamics of correlated electrons in strong laser fields: investigations of effective many-body spaces
The photoelectric effect was explained by Einstein more than 100-years ago. His invention of “light particles” (photons) now marks the birth of quantum mechanics. Today, advanced l...
Determinants of transcription factor specificity in flowering time and flower development in Arabidopsis thaliana
The induction of flowering is critical for the reproductive success of plants and is therefore controlled by an intricate regulatory network comprised of numerous transcription fac...
Beamforming Integrated Sub-THz Compact circUITS - BISCUITS
The exponential growth in data rates and capacity of wireless systems needs more bandwidth, which can be found at higher frequencies. In 5G systems the mm-wave range was therefore...
Heavy ions in Earth’s magnetotail: Redistribution and total transport
To understand atmospheric escape at Earth, we must first understand the plasma transport in the magnetotail. The transport of H+ ions is quite well understood, but not that of heav...
