Reconstructing democracy in times of crisis: a voter-centered perspective (REDEM) aims to create a common platform for researchers on democracy together with non-academic experts focusing on voting behavior.
Fire both shapes and threatens Madagascar’s ecosystems, yet we still lack a clear understanding of how plants vary in their response to it.
Recovered, in treatment, or dead? A 20-year follow-up of women and men in Swedish substance use treatment.
Recovery and identity – a 10-year follow-up of persons who have been in treatment for alcohol and or/ drug problems
Recovery is a key factor for well-being and performance. Recovery can be defined as the process of psychophysiological unwinding after effort, during which mental and physiological resources are replenished. Sleep is an important factor for recovery, but recovery can also take place through different recovery activities while awake.
While global efforts are undertaken to mitigate anthropogenic emissions of Hg, thawing permafrost and melting glaciers threatens to mobilize large amounts of Mercury (Hg) into the Arctic Ocean (AO). Future risks of wildlife and human mercury exposure, however, remain highly uncertain.
A comparative perspective on earned income tax credits. The purpose of this project is to analyze if earned income tax credits (EITCs) are able to reduce poverty and increase employment, and particularly under which conditions these two aims can be pursued simultaneously.
Flagship project within Digital Futures that examines how the Right to be Forgotten applies when personal data has been used to train AI systems.
From workplace democrazy to innovation and sustainability.
This project evaluates refugees' health status and the effect of different asylum policies. We examine who takes the voluntary health screenings, as well as the health impact of having access to primary care during the asylum process, the type of residence permit (temporary or permanent), and the support given to unaccompanied minors.
In the project Pilot Stockholm Archipelago, the aim is to through local involvement develop and test a management model for regional ecosystem-based marine management that will help achieve the Swedish environmental objectives. Please switch to the Swedish page for more information about the project.
This research examines how regional policy documents and visions of sustainable development are shaped, interpreted, and implemented in municipal planning in the context of climate change and intensifying natural hazard risks. Despite substantial investments in climate action and governance, developments often appear to be moving in the opposite direction. Our research takes this inertia as its point of departure and analyses how regional governance, knowledge production, and local practices interact when climate and environmental goals are to be realised.
Questions about how regional spatial planning can contribute to reducing climate impact and how regional actors can manage land use conflicts have been neglected in Sweden, despite the fact that this is an important arena for addressing many of today's acute sustainability challenges. This research project aims to contribute to reducing this knowledge gap.
For many years, research has stressed the importance of regional planning for addressing challenges related to sustainable development.
Research project within DDLS and WASP-HS which aim to investigate how the implementation of AI can be promoted in healthcare, and what ethical and legal aspects such implementation should take into account.
What are the regulatory challenges when designing new systems for waste management? The topic will be explored in this research project. Our aim is to expand the understanding of interactions between environmental sustainability, local regulations and digital innovation.
Regulating Multinational Enterprises: Challenges and Innovations in Addressing Human Rights and Climate Change (part of the REBALANCE project)
Pentameric ligand-gated channels mediate signals across the kingdoms of life and are highly sensitive to modulators such as benzodiazepines or alcohol. Recent advances in cryo-EM have enabled us to identify and obtain structures of several new channels, including new prokaryotic model systems and heteromeric channels in the human nervous system.
Programmed stop codon readthrough (SCR) is a form of genetic re-coding, in which a near-cognate tRNA base-pairs with a stop codon, leading to the translation of a C-terminally extended protein. The aim of this project is to gain mechanistic understanding of how cis- and trans- acting factors regulate SCR in a spatio-temporal manner. We address this by using Drosophila as a powerful model for genetic, molecular and structural dissection in combination with analyzing biological function of SCR in vivo .
A legal study of responsibility for and control of how we divide our time between work and leisure. This project aims to provide a coherent picture of working time regulation and identify any gaps or contradictions within it.
