A large-scale, international and multidisciplinary research expedition is currently taking place at Tvären, a circular bay in the Baltic Sea near Studsvik in Södermanland, roughly 100 km south of Stockholm.
With no new government in place, Sweden could lose influence in negotiations over the European Union's next long-term budget, just as the talks enter a decisive phase. "It is not an ideal situation," Jonas Tallberg, a professor of political science at Stockholm University, told Altinget, an independent news site, on Tuesday.
Chatbots hallucinate – we all know that. And we’re also aware that AI can use information from sketchy websites to produce its answers. DSV researchers have developed a tool to deal with some of the trust issues.
Speakers are efficient: they balance minimal effort against the need to be understood, and so they shorten what is easy to predict and add linguistic material where it is needed. But over time, these shortened and reinforced forms can also conventionalize and spread into contexts where they no longer make communication more efficient. Does language then become less efficient, or do the forms take on new functions? This is what the new research project USER-GRAM sets out to investigate.
Notable among the new professors are Jonas Larson, in theoretical quantum physics, and Foivos Perakis, in experimental chemical physics, both from the Department of Physics. On September 25, Stockholm University will welcome its new professors at a ceremony at Stockholm City Hall. At that time, new professors who took up their posts during the previous academic year will be installed.
What is happening beneath thick sea ice, under ice shelves, and in other parts of the polar regions that are difficult for researchers to reach? Researchers now want to develop smart vehicles and sensors that can collect data in places that are difficult for people and research vessels to access.
Five weeks into the expedition, the routines of life aboard Oden are well established, but there is still something new to learn every day. In these three diary entries, Linnea shares lessons from working alongside other research teams, insights into scientific collaboration, and a closer look at the instruments helping us observe the Arctic atmosphere in one of the world's most challenging environments.
Lennart Erixon, Professor Emeritus of Economics at Stockholm University, and Samuel Färdow Kazen propose a new economic policy reform for Sweden. The reform would improve the effectiveness of monetary policy and increase financial stability, they write in Ekonomisk Debatt.

The Department of Ecology, Environment and Plant Sciences (DEEP) at Stockholm University is looking for a PhD student in wetland ecology. The position is part of the interdisciplinary research project BALANCE wetlands, funded by Formas.
The microorganisms found in one litre of sea water can reveal a lot about their environment. In a new methodological study, researchers demonstrate how DNA sequencing and AI can be used to predict the biological and chemical properties of the sea.
On 1 October, applications for more than 40 Blended Intensive Programmes, BIPs, open. All students in the CIVIS university alliance, where Stockholm University is a member, are welcome to apply by 31 October.
The Bolin Centre for Climate Research is opening a call for nominations for a Database Coordinator to lead and further develop the scientific coordination of the Bolin Centre Database.
