Does nutrient limitation promote carbon storage in forest soils?
Soil organic carbon (SOC) is a major component of the global carbon (C) cycle. Its vulnerability to disturbances and climate variations has been studied, but its response to altere...
Humic substance-driven (non)parallel adaptation in fish – genomic, transcriptomic and phenotypic perspective
Parallel evolution of the same genes and traits in similar environments has traditionally been considered as a strong evidence for adaptation. Yet, because natural selection is rar...
Aerosolization of Mycobacterium tuberculosis: establishing its role in the transmission of tuberculosis
Each year tuberculosis (TB) causes illness in approximately 10 million and kills 1.5 million people around the world, making it the single most deadly infectious disease. It is est...
Crossing the Rubicon? The Dynamics of Restraint in Civil War
In 2018, more than half of all people killed in the 34 countries suffering from civil war died in Afghanistan or Syria. Why do some civil wars become more severe than others? Surpr...
Accurate compositions of Sun-like stars
Enormous sets of observational data are being gathered through a number of planned or active large stellar surveys including 4MOST, APOGEE, GALAH, Gaia-ESO, PLATO, and WEAVE. Thes...
Mind the Body: Renegotiating educational concepts and practices in digitalised teacher education
The purpose of this research collaboration is to develop a long-term sustainable network between research groups from Luleå University of Technology (Sweden), The Arctic University...
Preschool class – a possible arena for literacy instruction in various subject areas
The overall purpose of the project is to identify instruction that promotes early literacy development within five subject areas in the preschool class: language and communication,...
Establishment of Photosynthesis, a Tale of Two Genomes
The function of the eukaryotic cell depends on regulated and reciprocal interaction between its different compartments. This includes not only the exchange of metabolic intermediat...
Dynamics in Titan´s ionosphere
This is an application to fund a PhD student to determine the physics behind observed dynamic features in the ionosphere of Titan. The student will work full time over 4 years, sup...
New invariants of singularities
In commutative algebra, there are many numerical invariants that measure the singularity of a local ring. These invariants are typically based on the properties of the maximal idea...
Mechanics and dynamics of cell-to-cell adhesion in plants
Cell-to-cell adhesion is a fundamental feature of multicellular organisms. How it is controlled and maintained is a complex question that remains to be studied in plants. Our recen...
Touch cultures, bodily integrity and embodied socialization in preschools: Children’s and educators’ perspectives on physical contact
The present multi-method study aims to further understanding of touch cultures, bodily integrity and bodily socialization in Swedish preschools by examining children’s and educator...
Organized chaos in granular media
The aim of this project is to derive micromechanically based and thermomechanically consistent constitutive models for the behavior of granular media, by taking into account the de...
Electrolytes for Metal-Organic Multivalent Batteries
A leap-frog in battery energy density can be achieved by multivalent metal anodes combined with organic cathodes; a Ca metal anode and a 4 V & 200 mAh/g organic cathode enables 450...
Lyapunov exponenets of quasi-periodically driven stystems
The Schrödinger operator with a quasi-periodic potential has attracted very much attention during the last 20 years. When the potential is real-analytic we have by now a good descr...
Large Lessons from Small Cases: Façade or Democracy in Kiribati, Vanuatu and São Tomé and Príncipe?
Small states have often been excluded from the study of comparative politics. It has been argued that their small population size does not warrant their study and that they, due to...
New perspectives on interprofessional education in health care: development of an international research approach
Globally, learning to collaborate across professions is seen as crucial to assure patient safety and the changing demands of health care. Joint research beyond context case descrip...
Att navigera synlighet i kontexter av statssanktionerad homofobi: utvecklingsaktörer och hbtq-rättighetsförsvarare i Uganda och Ryssland
In a time of sharp polarization around LGBTQ issues, rights advocates are met with fierce resistance in an increasing number of contexts. Despite hostilities, rights defenders need...
The school student movement and school democracy: Collective formation processes, repertoires of contention and public response 1952-1989.
The aim of this project is to shed new light on the history of democracy in schools by exploring the emergence and transformations of the school based student movement. The project...
Geometric analysis on Gromov hyperbolic spaces, their boundaries and other metric measure spaces, with applications to p-harmonic functions
This project focuses on several distinct but related problems in first-order analysis on nonsmooth metric measure spaces which need not have a differentiable structure. The main ob...
