Gender gaps in negotiation behaviour and shying away from exposure to social ranking. This project aims to provide new knowledge on why we see persistent gender gaps despite the convergence by gender in many factors.
Accelerating permafrost thaw in the Arctic drastically changes the ecosystem as a whole, which, in turn, impacts the everyday life of local communities and Indigenous populations. CAPES specifically focuses on the impact of climate change on populations living on permafrost in the Arctic using an ecosystem service approach.
Career Development and Guidance is an international research area which focuses on youth and adult learning in relation to educational and vocational choices and their career development and mobility.
By doing analyzes focusing on time from education to job, length of employment spells, and career patterns, we shed light on changes for birth cohorts born from the 1940s and onwards. Our analyses are based on register data and the occupational biographies in the Level of Living Surveys.
Questions about older adults, aging and long-term care are an integral part of the social work education, as well as one of the main research areas at the Department of Social Work.
How do leave to care for sick children and its wage effect vary with socioeconomic position and family status?
This project aims to investigate a less explored aspect of global mobility by examining the political, philosophical, cultural, experiential, and material dimensions of hospitality through empirical research.
In spite of its centrality, the notion of causation has resisted unified treatment. Attempts at general theories of causation have failed to account for some range of cases of causation. The project investigates whether causation can be understood as a “secondary" relation, identifying means to ends has as its function to track.
Proteins with multiple membrane-segments (MS) initially insert into the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) of eukaryotic cells. Little is known how such proteins attain native functional structures. We study the ER membrane chaperone Shr3 that specifically facilitates the folding of all 18 members of the yeast amino acid permease family of proteins with 12 MS.
This project reflects a long-standing interest in eukaryotic cell motility, i.e. movements of intracellular structures and migration of whole cells. Profilin is a coordinator of the two principal force generating machineries behind virtually all cell motility as first revealed by us and therefore takes a special interest in our studies.
Eukaryotic genomes are folded into high-order chromatin domains, which intrinsically affects all DNA-dependent processes. We study how chromatin architectural proteins regulate gene expression during dynamic developmental processes.
The Centre for Cultural Evolution conducts interdisciplinary research on the causal relationships that shape and change human culture in both the long and the short term.
The amount of international climate cooperation outside the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) has risen sharply, which has created an institutional patchwork of agreements in the governance of global climate and energy.
Gender division of labour and economic change studied through 19th century crofters’households.
In recent decades, European countries have seen substantial changes in family constellations. Using longitudinal data from five European countries, we examine whether the consequences of family constellations are constant for children and adults across European countries.
The five Nordic countries have all adopted quite restrictive drug policies. How will these policies be affected by changes in drug policies in a liberal direction in other countries?
This project aims at characterizing the mechanical properties of the brain through Magnetic Resonance Elastography (MRE) in adolescents and older children and at correlating them with risk factors for developing anxiety disorders.
The goal of the CHAMPS project is to develop a new paradigm for nanotechnological research and development based on charged microdroplets produced by electrospray ionization (ESI)
We explore the cosmic content of the universe by measuring the expansion rate using supernovae as distance indicators.
