Intermedial Ecocriticism
Scientists have been establishing the ecological crisis as a fact for decades. But how do such matters of fact become matters of concern? “Intermedial Ecocriticism”, cross-linking...
Etiological processes, developmental dynamics and consequences of drug use disorders: a national study
Drug use disorders (DUDs) may lead to severe medical and social consequencesin all population groups. The present proposal will: quantify positive and negative effects of multiple...
Compulsive Sexual Behavior Disorder- neurobiological underpinnings and pharmacological treatment with Naltrexone
Compulsive Sexual Behavior Disorder (CSBD) is a new diagnosis in the ICD-11. CSBD affecting 3-6% of the population, includes repetitive and intense preoccupation and loss of contro...
What is secondary about secondary forest? Building smallholder forest futures in Peru’s Amazonian frontier
Secondary forest regrowth accounts for 70% of tropical forest areas, and will have to provide a significant part of future forest based environmental services. Such forests support...
Molecular determinants of drug efficacy and tumour suppression in haematopoietic and solid malignancies
Resistance to chemotherapy causes failure of cancer treatment. We investigate how the resistance factor SAMHD1 on the one hand limits treatment efficacy in acute leukaemias and col...
The effect of obesity on cardiovascular disease: mediation analysis with Mendelian randomization
Obesity is one of the most common health-threatening conditions in the world. A particularly negative effect of obesity is the elevated risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD), which...
REGENDER Gender equality and energy as catalysts for entrepreneurial development in sub-Saharan Africa
In policy discourses, decentralised small-scale renewable energy systems (RES) have been proposed as a means of providing energy to the 1 billion people without access, promoting e...
Development of Materials for Green Solvents Processable Polymer Solar Cells
Photovoltaic is a promising technology to convert solar energy into electricity to supply clean energy to human beings. However, the dominant silicon solar cells are expensive, ver...
Exploration of hiring discrimination and possibilities for intervention through eye-tracking
This project investigates the mechanisms and processes of ethnic and racial discrimination in hiring through examining employment decisions using eye-tracking in combination with d...
Protein translational control by gene editing for increased stress resilience especially to Phytophthora infestans
More than 20% of the fungicides used in agriculture are attributed to control late blight (Phytophthora infestans) disease within the Swedish potato agro industry. This proposal ai...
