We recently discovered that a novel testis-specific transcription factor TCFL5, expressed in pachytene stage of meiosis, collaborates with the transcription factor A-MYB via a set of interlocking positive feedback and coherent feedforward loops to regulate meiotic gene expression program.
Exhaustion disorder is a relatively recent diagnosis which only exists in the Swedish diagnostic system.
Religious Education and Psychology are life-oriented subjects with existential questions. The project explores how, when, and why students’ encounters with these subjects activate such aspects and whether they broaden subject understanding. Based on this, didactic principles for teaching are developed.
The aim of the project is to examine and understand certain spaces of polynomials in many variables.
Teachers and students at Stockholm university quickly had to adjust to online course delivery in response to the Covid-19 Pandemic. Despite the challenging circumstances, the spring term 2020 provided an opportunity to collect data on how both students andteachers experienced an emergency transition to online teaching.
Research in the group is focused at the study of mesoscopic phenomena in condensed matter physics. Our research areas span over superconductivity (with emphasis on high temperature superconductors), low temperature physics, quantum electronics and spintronics, and nanotechnology.
Superconductivity is a fascinating phenomenon that allows the observation of quantum-mechanical behavior in macroscopic objects. Therefore, it can be employed for building quantum electronic components using conventional nanotechnology tools.
The group focusses on x-ray scattering, x-ray spectroscopy and photoelectron spectroscopy techniques using synchrotron radiation sources and x-ray free electron lasers at facilities all around the world.
Mutual Neutralization (MN) is studied at the DESIREE ion-beam storage ring. In MN, an electron is transferred from a negative to a positive ion forming two neutral particles. This fundamental process is important in many natural environment.
The Gulf Stream’s continuation into the Nordic Seas is central in the Earth’s climate system. Therefore, we need the ability to continuously monitor the total strength of the warm, north-flowing surface water and the cold south-flowing deep water.
Explaining COVID-19 mortality among immigrants in Sweden: A social determinants of health perspective
This research project explains the dramatic trends in European elections in the 21st century. The project’s primary hypothesis is that these trends result not from attitudinal changes amongst Europeans, but from variation in what they see as the most important political issues of the day–issue salience.
One of the major challenges for governments in parliamentary democracies is how to get their proposals enacted by parliament. If governments cannot get their bills accepted, which increasingly seems to be the case currently, countries in the end cannot be governed.
The Epoch of Reionization is the period when the first stars and galaxies formed, some 13 billion years ago. During this period ionizing light produced in these galaxies escaped into the medium inbetween the galaxies. This resulted in a gradual ionization and heating of the entire Universe.
Teaching sustainability issues needs to include both facts, feelings and values in order to deepen learning. The aim of the project is to develop teaching for sustainable development in higher education so that it becomes more interactive and offers students increased participation.
Despite the growing popularity of the concept of “sportswashing”—where a country or company uses its association with sport to improve its reputation and distract attention from moral or human rights concerns—there is still limited knowledge about the potential consequences this may have for Western market actors.
If you close your eyes, can you imagine a red apple? Around four percent of the world’s population cannot. The inability to voluntarily create mental images is called aphantasia. In this project, we explore how immersive digital media may offer alternative forms of imagination and visual mental imagery.
Baudin et al (2015) has pointed out that “childlessness is an overlooked reality that cannot be explained by the current economic studies on fertility” and that childlessness is not the same as low fertility. This project fills this knowledge gap by analyzing male childlessness and, in addition, fathers' parental leave at the extensive margin.
We will search for novel antibiotics against human pathogens with the enzyme ribonucleotide reductase (RNR) as a target. RNR is essential to all free-living organisms and provides building blocks for DNA synthesis.
Baltic herring, also known as "herring" north of Kalmar Sound, was previously the most common fish and a keystone species in the Baltic Sea ecosystem, connecting lower trophic levels with higher ones.
