Evolution on repeat: unravelling the developmental origins of parallel evolution
The diversity of life may seem endless. Yet, a closer look reveals that evolution often is on repeat. This is most striking when the same suite of characters evolves over and over....
From Salamanca to PISA. The professionalisation of Special needs educators since 1990 from a comparative perspective
Since the end of the 20th century, the profession of Special Needs Educators (SNE) has internationally undergone significant changes. On the one hand, SNEs are seen as facilitators...
Systematic effects and analysis in IceCube
Neutrinos are uniquely unaffected as they travel through space, and are therefore excellent messenger particles with a potential to bring new discoveries, and better understanding...
Novel analytical and computational tools for the assessment of exposure to environmental chemicals
Current approaches aimed at comprehensive assessment of human chemical exposure have considerable limitations, being limited to but a small subfraction of chemicals to which we are...
Impact of transformation products of antimicrobial chemicals on the emergence of antimicrobial resistance in aquatic environments
Antimicrobial resistance poses health risks to humans and our environment. While the use of antimicrobial chemicals is one well-known factor, extremely little is explored for their...
Reliable and Secure Coded Edge Computing
Edge computing is a new paradigm that relies on the strategic deployment of edge servers in order to move computational power from the cloud closer to edge devices that generate mo...
School in Society - Students, Principals, and Teachers as Political Subjects
The aim is to investigate how students, school leaders, and teachers become political subjects in connection with political struggles related to the societal role of compulsory ed...
Extreme compression of fluids by strong imploding shocks
The main goal of our research is to investigate by experiment, computation and theory the major physical properties of shock propagation in gas and various multiphase media such as...
Multiagent dynamics and collective decisions on signed networks
Signed networks appear for instance when modeling multiagent interactions which are both of cooperative and antagonistic nature (e.g. social networks). The multiagent dynamics that...
Aerodynamics and ecology of animal flight and movement
Birds are the ultimate flying machines of amazing capacity, and some species forgo making landfall altogether and remain airborne for up to 10 months. I will investigate what deter...
Structural approach in teaching as foundation for sustainable arithmetic learning - SATSA
In this project we direct attention to how teaching with a structural approach to 6-yearolds facilitates conceptual growth of number concept and arithmetic skills. The object of ou...
Microscopic theory for direct reactions in exotic heavy nuclei.
All elements are forged in a series of processes that constitute the nucleosynthesis. Most heavy elements are generated through rapid capture of neutrons by nuclei, forming exotic...
First-principles-driven design of novel ductile refractory high-entropy alloys
Refractory high-entropy alloys (RHEAs) represent a new paradigm of high-temperature materials for energy conversion and production applications. RHEAs would hold the promise of inc...
3D–4D printing of architectured ceramics to combine strength, toughness and complex shapes
This project aims to develop ceramics that are simultaneously strong and tough, and to shape them into complex shapes without compromising their mechanical properties - major chall...
Biocatalytic membranes assembled from spherical lignin particles
The majority of current enzyme-functionalised membranes rely on petroleum-sourced synthetic polymers and cross-linking chemicals. There is thus a pivotal need for renewable materia...
Interacting Particle Systems, cellular automata, quasilocality and color representations
The first subproject will concern interacting particle systems and cellular automata. Here one wants to (1) understand the spatial and time-ergodic consequencesof having a unique s...
New strategies for assessment of the persistence of viable bacilli in latent and active tuberculosis
Background: Management of tuberculosis (TB) is hampered by inadequate methods for diagnosis. Furthermore, most current methods cannot determine whether persons with TB infection ha...
Quasicrystals: rigidity and almost periodic functions
In our recent preprint [PK-X] we use modern results from arithmetic number theory to construct positive crystalline measure and Fourier quasicrystals using pairs of stable polyno...
The lung as a site for break of tolerance and initiation of anti-Jo1 positive interstitial lung disease
Bakgrund Interstitiell lungsjukdom (ILD) är en viktig orsak till morbiditet och mortalitet hos patienter med antikroppar mot histidyl-tRNA syntetas (HisRS) (anti-Jo1) där 90% har...
Imperial Expansion and Intercultural Diplomacy: Treaty-making in Southeast Asia, c.1750−1920
This collaborative research project in Global and Diplomatic History investigates the often overlooked role of treaties in imperial expansion. By systematically analysing all of th...
