Negotiating the risk of segregation - public and civic responses to growing social inequalities in a "not yet" divided city
There is much research on residential segregation in large cities, but little knowledge on how the risk of increasing socio-spatial divisions is handled in smaller urban environmen...
Ecological change in Arctic/alpine lakes – Food web effects of ongoing climate-change induced oligotrophication (ARCWEB)
Swedish Arctic/alpine lakes are undergoing drastic oligotrophication, i.e. declines in ambient nutrients (N and P) due to ongoing, climate-driven shifts in catchment processes incl...
A GMO-free approach in plants to boost food production
Many biotechnological techniques changes to the genetic code in the organism (GMO). However, strict GMO regulation within EU makes it impossible to translate promising scientific r...
Emergent social innovations in rural Sweden and their potential contribution to sustainable rural development
The Swedish countryside is facing a wide range of interconnected demographic, socio-economic, and environmental challenges.Rural development policies at the European and national l...
Engineering of bacteria and fermentation methods for sustainable large-scale production of alkylamines
Primary alkylamines and lactams are important bulk chemicals in the chemical industry used for the production of various consumer products, including medicines, textiles, and plast...
Consequences of educational reforms on school segregation and educational equity in Sweden, Norway and Denmark
School segregation in the Nordic countries is a topic high on the political agenda.However, to design effective policy interventions targeting school segregation and its consequenc...
A flexible bacterial consolidated bioprocess for conversion of plant biomass into short-chain fatty acids
Efficient utilization of plant biomass is important in the shift to a sustainable society.Biochemical processes are regarded as the most sustainable alternative, but they have diff...
Labor market marginalization in individuals with bipolar disorder – effect of treatment and the COVID-19 pandemic
Bipolar disorder (BP) is a common cause of disability in the working population worldwide.BP often leads to different types of exclusion and inequality and people with BP face a hi...
Understanding the role of socioeconomic factors on antidiabetic medication use patterns and long-term consequences of type 2 diabetes via novel causal inference methods
Background A recent study on Swedish data showed that the incidence of type 2 diabetes (T2D) is strongly related to occupational groups. Therefore, socioeconomic determinants of T2...
Antibody-based PET imaging in neurodegeneration
Aim: To develop antibody (mAb) based Positron Emission Tomography (PET) ligands for in vivo visualization of disease related proteins in neurodegenerative disorders, such as Alzhei...
Novel BIOelectrochemical systems for integrated Energy harvesting and bioremediation of acid MINe Drainage (BIOeMIND)
BIOeMIND aims to develop and demonstrate a sustainable treatment process for acid mine drainage (AMD).In this concept, we will combine a bioelectrochemical cell, including biologic...
Removing agricultural residues as feedstock for the growing bioeconomy – efficiency of intermediate crops to minimize negative environmental consequences
The overall aim of this project is to generate a knowledge base on how a large-scale removal of agricultural crop residues can contribute to fulfil the expected biomass demand for...
An in vitro pipeline for investigating species differences in developmental neurotoxicity
When evaluating performance of human in vitro models, they are regularly compared to rodent in vivo data, still considered the “gold standard” in most communities.Discrepancies are...
Gender differences among people aged 66-70 and above 70 years, respectively, regarding being in paid work and about their morbidity and sickness absence; prospective population-based cohort studies
With more people living much longer, extending working lives into older ages is a concern in many countries, including Sweden.There are two hypotheses about who stays in work at ol...
The role of phospholipid metabolism in type 2 diabetes development
Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a global pandemic and has for long been considered an irreversible disease.However, recent studies have shown that T2D remission is possible and, similar t...
Heparan sulfate – biosynthesis, functions and pathophysiological implications
Heparan sulfate (HS) is a polysaccharide expressed ubiquitously on the cell surface and in the extracellular matrix, having essential functions in animal development and pathophysi...
Evolution of Species Sensitivity Distributions
A main challenge in determining Water Quality Benchmarks is translating species-specific toxicant sensitivity data into a metric that characterizes toxicant hazard levels for an en...
Exposure to air pollution and chemicals during fetal life, connections to epigenetics and asthma and allergy risk– Studies in the prospective birth cohort NorthPop.
The aim of this project is to identify chemical exposures that are common during fetal development and use this information to understand the mechanisms underlying the observed soc...
Beyond Covid? Using Patient Knowledge to Improve the Care and Management of Long Covid Sufferers
This social science study identifies how individuals suffering from Long Covid in Sweden develop knowledge about their condition through their own and other sufferers´ experiences...
Risks, gains and trade-offs in the late career: How does remaining in the labour market after pensionable age affect working conditions and living standards in the United States and Sweden?
