Entrepreneurs are important for Sweden’s economy, yet the Swedish welfare and support system is built around employees’ needs.Many entrepreneurs feel that they do not get their fai...
Antibiotic resistance genes in wastewater - studies on factors critical for assessing the risks.
Antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) can be present in both pathogens and harmless environmental bacteria.The acquisition of ARGs, often situated on plasmids, by pathogens and their...
Sustainable production of insect pheromones in plant factories
Pheromones are environmentally friendly alternatives to traditional pesticides for control of insect pests and tons of synthetic pheromones are produced annually.The purpose of the...
Medical outliers – effects on mortality, length of stay and unplanned readmissions
From an international perspective, Sweden has relatively few hospital beds per capita and the existing hospital beds are often designated for highly specialized care.In recent year...
Tools for investigating spatio-temporal variability of contaminant concentrations in Baltic Sea biota – mercury as a case study
Our aim is to develop new methods for investigating drivers of spatio-temporal contaminant variability in Baltic Sea biota with mercury (Hg) as a test case.The Baltic Sea is of gre...
Process-Relational Adaptation to Climate Change (PRAda)
Vulnerability to climate change is a contested concept.Not only do scholars interpret it differently leading to a disciplinary fragmentation and the production of different types o...
Molecular basis for climate-resilient oats, especially in relation to early summer drought stress
Oat is a strategic crop for both Swedish agriculture and the food industry.Increases in temperature and changes in rainfall patterns associated with climate change, leading to incr...
Biogas production from fiberbanks: combining sediment remediation and energy production (RemErgy)
The pulp and paper industry used to release large amounts of wood fibers into the aquatic environment.Today this fibrous material is found as large banks of fibers on the seafloor...
Brachyspira and intestinal allergy-like immune reactions in patients with irritable bowel syndrome.
Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) affects 5-10% of the adult population, and is associated with profound reduction in quality of life and high costs for society.Gastrointestinal (GI)...
Hospital sewers as an arena for selection and evolution of antibiotic resistance
The growing problem with antibiotic resistant bacteria has emerged as a severe threat to public health globally.The environment serves as a source for resistance genes that over ti...
Nutritional metabolomics: validating food intake biomarkers and applying them to estimate diet-health associations
The goal of this program is to apply metabolomics to objectively describe acute and habitual dietary intake among individuals in large cohorts and to link this exposure data and se...
Bakteriell genotoxininducerad cellulär åldrande: en trojanhäst i infektionsbiologi?
Bacterial genotoxins (BTGX) cause DNA damage in the host cells, activating the DNA damage response and promoting senescence, a state associated with secretion of inflammatory media...
Klimatförändringar och födovävseffektivitet i akvatiska miljöer
In association with climate warming, many freshwater and coastal ecosystems have become greener and browner due to increased concentrations of nutrients, iron and dissolved organic...
Bioturbation of earthworms in Sweden: impacts of climate and land use
Earthworms play a key role for soil functioning. By moving through the soil, they create new pore spaces, and transport and mix soil.This activity, termed bioturbation, is of emine...
Providing vascularization to 3D bioprinted tissues: the key to clinical implementation in reconstructive surgery
3D bioprinting has emerged as a technology for tissue biofabrication.The main objective of the proposed project is to overcome the size restriction of 3D-printed grafts by improvin...
(Un)sustainable lifestyles: social (im)possibilities to consume less
Humanity exceeds several of the planetary boundaries, with overconsumption as part of the problem.The proposal argues that we need to understand better how social relations are inv...
