In this research project, knowledge of the Swedish Transport Administration's operational management is developed by identifying and understanding the challenges that arise in the translation of strategies formulated by top management to an operational level.
In this pilot project, we are focusing on a group of substances harmful to health – flame retardants – found in stage coverings. These stage textiles must be fire-resistant, but at present we do not know which flame retardants are present or in what quantities. The project is being carried out in collaboration with the Royal Swedish Dramatic Theatr,e the City Theatre of Stockholm, the Royal Swedish Opera and the Art House cinema Zita as testbeds and focuses on formulating policy and guidance on how the content of harmful chemicals in textile materials used in the performing arts can be reduced.
This project aims to study work-related mental illness such as stress, depression, and anxiety among professionals with ADHD, and evaluate an internet-based stress-management program to treat and prevent these negative outcomes.
The reporting of stress and stress-related health complaints is high in adolescents, and a gender difference to the disadvantage of girls is a typical finding in large-scale studies. The overall purpose of this research project is to increase the understanding of experiences of stress and stress-related health complaints in adolescent girls and boys.
Sweden is undergoing a major political realignment, with young rural men increasingly supporting radical rightwing parties, while young women move in the opposite direction. How can we understand this shift?
In the group we are interested in understanding role of water in chemical and biophysical processes from a statistical physics perceptive. We study the structural dynamics of aqueous solutions, including nanoparticles, organic molecules and proteins in supercooled and glassy states.
The most common neurodegenerative disease is Alzheimer´s disease, in which the amyloid-ß (Aß) peptide aggregates to amyloid fibers that accumulate in plaques in the human brain. Key aspects of the disease are still unclear of which the following are addressed in this proposal:
Proteins consist of long chains of amino acids, strands that are built in the protein factories of the cell, namely the ribosomes. The order in which the amino acids are located in the chain is determined by the DNA of the organism in question. Then, as the amino acid chain is folded, the protein assumes the determined function.
How do we go from dealing with one or a few languages in modern language technology, to thousands of languages? How can this be done using insights and experience from language researchers, instead of just adding more data and more computing power? These are the questions investigated in this project.
Urban informal trade has long presented a policy challenge for countries across the global South.
The STS-LEX project aims to increase lexical knowledge of Swedish Sign Language.
In this project we study how student support and tuition fee systems in different countries are associated with student welfare, and whether this has consequences for higher education participation.
University education has historically been seen as exclusive and mainly attracting students from homes with a high level of education, higher education has in recent decades become more obvious to many people.
Studies of Migration and Social Determinants of Health (SMASH) is a collaborative research project based at the Department of Public Health Sciences, Stockholm University and funded by the Swedish Research Council for Health, Working Life and Welfare (Forte) for the period 2017-2022.
In the CAPSL project, we examine whether the language-related ability of statistical learning can be explained by a more general mechanism whereby the brain automatically detects when sounds follow different patterns or statistical distributions.
This project investigates the prosodic phenomenon stød in Danish. The project consists of three studies with nonce words – two production studies and one perception study. The three studies focus on either stød in relation to the position of the stressed syllable, syllabic structure or morphological context.
The Arctic Ocean is warming at an alarming rate and Arctic sea ice extent is at an all-time low. How will these drastic changes impact future Arctic marine ecosystems and what are the ocean-climate driving mechanisms that we must look out for to warn of a future change?
