The Downstairs of Diplomacy: A Transnational History of Servants´ Roles in Foreign Relations (c. 1935–1965)
The role of domestic staff has so far been surprisingly absent in studies of mid-twentieth-century diplomacy. Cooks, cleaners, chauffeurs, and other servants were not only indispen...
Combining multiple rare-earth ion species into a single quantum computer
Quantum computing (QC) is one of the great challenges of our time, with promises to transform many problems from intractable to doable, e.g. in the development of medication, mater...
Diagnostics for stroke and brain trauma in ambulances
The overall long term goal of the proposed research project is the development of novel, compact, portable diagnostics system for stroke and trauma for use in ambulances.Portable d...
Faunal Activities for Climate Action: A southern Africa network to find synergies between biodiversity and carbon storage in woodlands
Synergies among sustainable development goals are crucial for low-income countries where sustainability challenges are high but resources limiting.Current climate change mitigation...
In search of the sixth sense: Untangling the mechanism of hygrosensation
Humidity is an climatic factor that influences behaviour of land-living animals.Insects in particular use humidity cues to navigate, for example disease-vectors such as mosquitoes...
Rethinking MPAs - Protecting seagrass for biodiversity, food and climate
Marine Protected Area (MPA) use has become one of the most widespread tools aiming to reduce the loss of marine species and habitats.A new global agenda to protect 30% of the ocean...
Evaluation and development of service life prediction models for timber in exposed environments.
The building sector is currently transitioning to a sustainable production and use of materials.Manufacturers of concrete and steel are working intensively to reduce and offset emi...
Changing consumer food choices to reduce climate impact – the effects of labels, taxes and nudges
Food production accounts for a significant proportion of total greenhouse gas emissions and consumers’ food choices must change to reduce carbon emissions.The aim of this project i...
Biodegradation of Organic Micropollutants in Rivers – Revealing the Dynamics and Boundaries of a Crucial but Vulnerable Ecosystem Service
The self-purification capacity of rivers is an important ecosystem service (ES).A complex aggregate of degradation power dominated by microbial biodegradation, it compensates for w...
Nanoengineered precision therapies of lower respiratory tract infections
The overall aim is to develop nanoparticle-enabled precision therapies of lower respiratory tract infections (LRTIs) caused by bacterial pathogens.LRTI caused by gram-negative and...
AFTER--Agri-Food Transformation for Equitable Resilience: towards social, economic, and environmental sustainability in Spain’s almond sector
Transforming food systems to confront climate change, inequality, and biodiversity loss has become a defining challenge of the present era. Achieving the Sustainable Development Go...
Cumulative effects of multiple stressors on enrichment of genes involved in antibiotic resistance and virulence in biofilm microbial communities
Microbial communities form biofilms in various environments, where they often are exposed to a variety of stressors, which all contribute to the total selective pressure posed on t...
Reactivation of tumor suppressor gene TP53 for novel efficient cancer therapy
The TP53 tumor suppressor gene is frequently mutated in cancer. Reactivation of mutant TP53 is an attractive strategy for novel cancer therapy.We have previously identified the mis...
Two-in-one plant protection services provided by omnivorous predators: bodyguards and plant vaccinators
Problems with plant pests are expected to increase. New methods are needed.Unlike other methods of controlling pests, omnivorous predators can provide a unique and innovative type...
Signaleringsnätverk för frisättning av Langerhanska ö-hormoner
This project aims to clarify how pancreatic islet hormone secretion is regulated in health and disease with focus on insulin, glucagon and somatostatin release from β-, α-, and δ-c...
Patron of the seas. Rethinking patron-client relationships in small-scale fisheries
In small-scale fisheries, patron-client relationships (patronage) between traders and fishers are often blamed for the failure of sustainability-based development interventions aim...
Characterizing a novel mechanism for social perception of other people’s attention and its role in autism
To attribute mental content to other people, constructing a “theory of mind”, our brains need a model of the other’s attentional state.Most of us effortlessly and automatically ‘re...
A computational gastrointestinal model to predict age and disease effects on oral medications
Oral absorption is determined in healthy adults without considering effects of age or disease on this crucial parameter in therapeutic treatments. To date, in vitro models have bee...
Establishing the significance of brite/beige versus classical brown adipocytes in the control of energy expenditure and glucose metabolism
Thermogenesis-competent adipocytes – classical brown and brite/beige – possess the ability to increase energy expenditure and are therefore envisaged as promising therapeutic targe...
