This project aims to provide the first comprehensive economics evaluation of Higher Vocational Education (Yrkeshögskolan). Four separate studies test if HVE influences participant’s labor earnings, participant’s likelihood of employment, occupational or geographical mobility, and the marginal participant’s labor earnings.
The spectral signatures of stars offer a roadmap to cosmic nature and history. In recent years, stellar spectroscopy has seen revolutionary progress both on the modelling and theory side. In this project, we build upon the advances to address astrophysical problems with novel techniques.
Research project exploring how the collaboration between the government, employers, and unions shapes labor dynamics and adapts to modern challenges.
The aim of this project is to understand extremal properties of eigenfunctions of certain differential operators in mathematical physics.
No man (or woman) is an island. We cooperate, we fight, we make friends and we raise our young; all selected from a repertoire of social behaviours that afford us opportunities for learning, access to food and possibilities to reproduce. To understand how social behavior is organized constitutes a critical step towards understanding ourselves.
Animal behaviour is the study of how and why animals act the way they do. By examining behaviour in both natural and experimental settings, researchers uncover how behaviour evolves and is shaped ecological and evolutionary processes.
Animal conservation studies populations to understand the causes of decline, erosion of genetic diversity and adaptive capacity, and extinction risk, generating knowledge that supports the long-term persistence and evolution of species.
Animal ecologists study how animals interact with other organisms and their environment, aiming to understand how these interactions influence evolutionary change as well as the distribution and abundance of species.
Animal evolution investigates the origins, diversification, and adaptation of animals across geological time, linking genomic mechanisms to macroevolutionary patterns across the tree of life.
Animal genomics explores the genetic blueprints of life. Researchers use population, comparative, and functional tools to study how DNA drives biodiversity and evolution, investigating genetic variation both within and across species.
Recovering animal genomes from fossils and museum specimens makes it possible to reconstruct the evolutionary history of animals, and thus to investigate how climate change, hybridization and natural selection have shaped biodiversity through time.
The Swedish labour law model with its characteristics – an extremely high collective agreement coverage without government intervention and independent trade unions and employers’ organizations – has been well suited to handle rapid development and change. The model has long delivered both economic growth and good employment conditions.
The objective of this project is to map modes of action for developmental neurotoxicity (DNT) by using human neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y and mouse neural progenitor C17.2 cell lines, with the aim to establish non-animal methods as alternatives to regulatory test guidelines.
Despite their abundance in the Earth’s atmosphere, cloud formation and evolution are still poorly understood. This is particularly true for the interactions clouds have with atmospheric aerosol particles and their precursor vapors, which hampers our knowledge on the role that clouds and precipitation play in the climate system and in governing air quality.
The main interest our research group is the study mechanisms for chemically induced acute, developmental neurotoxicity by using neuronal cell models. The usefulness of the cell models for risk assessment is evaluated by integrating in vitro data from the cell models with in vivo data from rat and clinical observations from human in predictions models.
Neurodegenerative diseases like Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), Alzheimer’s and polyglutamine diseases are characterized by the gradual loss of neurons in the central nervous system (CNS). While these disorders are distinct in their clinical manifestations, they share pathological hallmarks like protein misfolding, aggregation and oxidative stress.
The Anna vs. Judith project explores whether AI chatbots can effectively deliver evidence-based therapy for social anxiety. By comparing psychodynamic and cognitive behavioral approaches in a smartphone format, we are investigating the future of accessible psychological treatment.
We use modelling and machine learning to understand ionization processes in electrospray (ESI) and developing semi-quantitative non-targeted analysis methodology.
POU/Oct transcription factors are frequently implicated in cancer, yet the mechanisms by which they promote tumor cell proliferation remain incompletely understood.
