‘Timed Up-and-Go Dual-Task’ gait parameters from video recordings as an aid for early diagnosis of dementia disorder
This is a continuation of a VR-funded study in which we investigate if a mobility-test (TUG) combined with a verbal task (TUGdt) can support early identification of dementia. We ai...
Microbiome-modulating drugs in carcinogenesis
Prescribed drug use is very common, and long-term risks have rarely been investigated. Our recent work showed that some commonly prescribed drugs may actually increase the risk of...
New era for cement replacement materials: Importance of service life design (NewDurCem)
Our developed societies require a built environment that is unimaginable without the widespread use of cement-based materials that allow cheap construction anywhere with complex an...
Humus Economicus: Soil Blindness and the Value of ´Dirt´ in Urbanized Landscapes
A vital necessity for the continuation of life on earth, soil is an underexplored feature of today’s planetary challenges in need of creative intervention. The life-sustaining skin...
Persistent organic chemicals in high-altitude atmosphere and ecosystems
Persistent organic chemicals (POCs) were recently found at high altitudes affected by the free troposphere (FT) at the world’s highest atmospheric observatory (5240 masl), the Chac...
COAST-LAND - Connectivity between inland waters and coastal habitats: effects and feedbacks of anthropogenic pressures and climate change
Diadromous fish populations are subject to multiple anthropogenic pressures both inland and at sea, including climate change, and are decreasing in the Baltic Sea. Conservation and...
Economic effects of adoption to agroecological farming practices in conventional and organic farming
Farmers in Sweden and other EU-countries face a growing demand for high quality food, threats posed by climate change and a shift in policy to a larger emphasis on environmental su...
Using unmanned aerial vehicles and artificial intelligence to quantify ant impact on the Arctic ecosystem carbon dynamics
A warming climate is rapidly changing Arctic ecosystems and risks to release large amounts of soil organic carbon (C). In most biomes, soil organic C is to a large extent controlle...
The impact of Graves’ disease on the brain: from if to how
In Graves’ disease (GD), the most common form of hyperthyroidism in Sweden, we have previously shown that 38% (800 patients/year) remain with mental fatigue (MF) after treatment of...
Wnt activator FOXQ1 drives intestinal fibrosis in inflammatory bowel diseases
Intestinal fibrosis is a serious complication of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD). There are currently no treatment options for fibrotic tissue scarring other than surgical interv...
Turning low value pulp and paper side streams into bio-based Nylon precursors
Nylon 66, a lightweight polyamide of high resilience for various industrial applications, is currently synthesized from adipic acid obtained from non-renewable resources and with s...
The coding of naturalistic interpersonal touch features in the somatosensory system
Interpersonal touch is an important part of relationships. The goal of this project is to discover the neural basis of interpersonal touch within the somatosensory system. The stat...
Ethical and social issues related to use of AI-based decision support tools in healthcare
Artificial intelligence (AI) systems may aid healthcare professionals in the analysis of increasingly huge amounts of health data and allow for making more accurate decisions about...
Challenges and opportunities of rapidly changing ice properties on ecosystem services from freshwaters
The main goal of this project is to provide a mechanistic understanding of ice property changes in a warmer world and to outline challenges and opportunities of the changes on the...
Molecular defense against Retinopathy of Prematurity- prevention, prediction, diagnostics and treatment
In prematurely born infants retinopathy of prematurity (ROP), a blinding disease, occurs due to the interruption of the feto-placental unit in the third trimester. Infants are also...
Himalayan linguistic prehistory in a new light
Sino-Tibetan (ST) is one of the largest language families on earth, second only to Indo-European (IE) in number of speakers. However, when it comes to our basic facts about ST – ho...
Environmental enrichment in stroke care units – a single case intervention study

Through recent groundbreaking results on mobility, trade, and warfare, the nature of Scandinavian Bronze Age societies has become a major research subject. While the current explan...
Growing species mixtures in Swedish agriculture: barriers and economic effects
Att artblanda grödor (dvs. odla olika grödor på samma fält) är en intressant möjlighet att förbättra jordbrukets miljömässiga och ekonomiska hållbarhet. Trots detta är den praktisk...
The moss microbiome as mediator of forest nitrogen and carbon cycling
The future C sequestration potential of the boreal zone is tightly linked to N availability as production in these ecosystems is chronically N limited. The main source of new N is...
