Facilitating solar energy and noise simulations in the planning of urban densification
The population of several cities in Sweden has grown rapidly in recent years. In order to meet the increasing needs of housing and services, the cities have been densified. When de...
Combined probabilistic and dichotomous modelling of scientific and quotidian epistemic processes
Probabilistic and all-or-nothing beliefs are difficult to combine in formal epistemology, since propositions with probability 1 cannot be given up with Bayesian probability revisio...
NEURAL CONTROL OF ENDOCRINE CELL DEVELOPMENT IN THE HUMAN PANCREAS
Inadequate insulin production and secretion from pancreatic beta (β) cells cause type 2 diabetes (T2D), a disease afflicting 400 million people. Genomewide association studies hav...
Collagen-degrading macrophages in subcutaneous adipose tissue expansion
The overall aim of this project is to provide a new mechanism for the interindividual differences in the capacity for subcutaneous adipose tissue expansion that in turn prevents ha...
Dissecting the catalytic mechanism and revealing the substrate specificity of a new class of oxidative biomass degrading enzymes
For many years, the enzymatic depolymerization of polysaccharides in plant biomass was thought to be accomplished by the complementary action of endo- and exo-acting hydrolases. Re...
The Neurophysiology of Expectations, Feedback, and Surprises – Towards a Brain Based Model of Skill Acquisition
Behavioral studies show that learning is fueled by surprises: we construct models of the world from which we derive expectations. It is when our expectations are not realized – whe...
MOBILE NECROPOLIS: THE POTENTIAL, EFFECTS AND MEANING OF LARGE SCALE MOVE OF HUMAN REMAINS IN SWEDEN
Cemeteries and human remains are expected to "rest in peace", but many cemeteries are in the future threatened by climate change and exploitation. In this project, that will contri...
Genomic dissection of cellular plasticity and transcriptional memory in drug tolerance.
Non-genetic cellular heterogeneity has a poorly understood origin but a significant impact on human health. A clear example is the phenotypic switch associated with the appearance...
Understanding and treating eclampsia
Purpose and aims:To understand the pathophysiology behind and effects of current and new treatments of cerebral complications in preeclampsia, the most common causes of direct mate...
Better beans: using cultivated biodiversity in breeding for improved water economy and drought tolerance of common bean cultivars in Rwanda
Water is a fundamental and often limiting resource for plant growth. Improving crop yields under dry conditions will be crucial for food security as dry environments and seasons be...
The human brain after surgery and trauma - neuroinflammation, neurocognitive decline and dementia
This translational project explores mechanisms and pathophysiology, prevention and outcomes of longterm neurocognitive decline after surgery, with the ultimate goal to provide nove...
Investigating the ability of the immune system to promote and permit regeneration
Why some animals have the ability to regenerate complex structures (i.e. limbs), while others cannot, remains an important and open question. This proposal focuses on how the immun...
Historians and Archives: The history discipline and archival theory in Sweden, 1880–2020
The aim of the project is to gain deeper understanding of the relations between the academic disciplines of history and archival science, 1880–2020. What role has archives had for...
Effect of aerosol particle size on airborne transmission of infectious disease
The air we breathe can transmit viral infections, especially in indoor environments where we spend most of our time. A building counteracts many of the natural processes that limit...
SURGIOMICS – IMPROVING PREOPERATIVE DECISION-MAKING IN PRIMARY BREAST CANCER BY RISK MODELS AND ARTIFICIAL NEURAL NETWORKS
Breast cancer is today diagnosed at an early stage and only 20-25% of the patients are diagnosed with nodal metastasis. However, clinically node-negative patients are subject to in...
Värmetolerans hos tropiska träd och dess implikationer för trädplantering, skogars kollagring och biodiversitet
Tropical forests—adapted to a thermally stable climate—may be particularly vulnerable to global warming but this hypothesis remains poorly evaluated due to data scarcity. This proj...
Morphological switch of atypical mycobacteria - impact on virulence and antibiotic resistance
Infections due to atypical mycobacteria are increasing worldwide. They mostly affect patients with immunodeficiencies or lung disorders and often result in a chronic pulmonary dise...
Longitudinell klinisk studie som utvärderar effekten av detaljerad fenotyp och efterföljande multidisciplinär hantering av både KOL och multimorbiditet hos patienter med KOL
Bakgrund: KOL är den tredje största dödsorsaken i världen. I Sverige är förekomsten av KOL cirka 8% vilket innebär att den årliga totala kostnaden för samhället är 9,1 miljarder k...
Impacts of toxic cyanobacteria blooms on bees and their pollination services in agro-ecosystems
Water bodies in agricultural landscapes often host a wide range of highly potent cyanobacterial toxins to animal health (humans, fish or aquatic invertebrates) as a result of nutri...
Development of Spray-Induced Gene Silencing technology for sustainable control of Fusarium head blight disease
Fusarium graminearum causes Fusarium head blight (FHB) on wheat and barley leading to multi-billion-dollar losses worldwide. FHB is controlled by intensive fungicide spraying, rais...
