We are investigating how sensory information is transformed into neural signals using the fruit fly and the yellow fever mosquito as a model system.

An extensive and reliable electricity grid is essential for all sectors of society. In parts of Sweden, the electricity grid has been suffering from a lack of capacity. This is something affecting all sectors and all people in these regions. The capacity problems have however so far mainly been analyzed in a technical system perspective, focusing on incumbent actors, whereas other actors have been

IntroductionIncreasing oil prices and growing environmental concerns in recent years have driven the development of renewable biofuels. Stimulated by this, the European production of bioethanol, which is produced by fermentation of sugar components in biomass, has nearly doubled in the last two years increasing from 913 million litres in 2005 to 1,565 million litres in 2006. The continuation of

Forskningen på avdelningen är mångsidig och länkas samman genom seminariet i medierad kultur och information. Forskningen genomsyras av en kritisk analys av digitaliseringen av kultur och samhälle som inkluderar forskningsteman såsom kulturarvsinstitutioner, informationens infrastruktur, kulturpolitik, förlag, bokmarknad, konsumtion och digitalt vardagsliv, läsning, lyssning och förändrade litteraThe research conducted at the division is multifaceted and include several disciplines, all of which get regularly presented at our joint seminar “Mediated Culture and Information. A critical analytical perspective on the digitalization of culture and society permeates our research, which focuses on themes such as cultural heritage institutions, infrastructures of information, cultural policy and

This study concerns digital diplomacy and the changing role of the diplomatic profession. By constructing a survey followed by descriptive in-depth interviews, this study demonstrates that Swedish diplomats have overall a positive view on social media’s role within the profession. The use of social media has increased the transparency of the profession and the citizen dialoge. Furthermore, this th

MERGE is a Strategic Research Area working with modelling the regional and global Climate System with focus on the interactions between the climate and the terrestrial biosphere. MERGE brings together more than 150 researchers collaborating across five Swedish universities - Lund University, Chalmers, University of Gothenburg, KTH and SMHI. The cutting-edge research environment are experts on the

This is for her is a performance about torture and therapy. On stage are two women. A victim and a perpetrator. A patient and a therapist. Torture and therapy always involve two people. Torture is about destroying the trust in other people. It only takes a moment, but it takes a lifetime to get back to everyday life again.

Vi besitter systematisk kunskap, baserad på empirisk forskning, om både hur finansiella förhållanden stimulerar ekonomisk tillväxt och utveckling, och om finansiella kriser och hur sådana kriser kan mildras eller undvikas. Vår forskning är indelad i tre huvudkategorier: Finansväsende och makroekonomi; Försäkrings- och pensionssystem samt; Politisk ekonomi och dess inverkan på penning- och finansföWe provide systematic knowledge based on empirical research on both how finance spurs economic growth and development, and on financial crises and how such crises can be mitigated, or avoided. Our research is divided into three main categories: Finance and the macro-economy; Insurance and retirement systems and; The political economy of money and finance.

Objective Blood cell populations, including red blood cells (RBC) unique to the extremely preterm (EPT) infant, are potentially lost due to frequent clinical blood sampling during neonatal intensive care. Currently, neonatal RBC population heterogeneity is not described by measurement of total haemoglobin or haematocrit. We therefore aimed to describe a subpopulation of large RBCs with hyper high

In times of limited resources, growing cities, and a changing world, weeding out outdated answers to new questions is a cardinal task of architecture. Especially in cities, the space is limited, and space does not equal space. Development in the outer parts with new infrastructure has vastly different consequences than densification on inner-city plots. In the case study city of Berlin, the popula

Artificial Intelligence in Cardiothoracic Science was funded 2006. Traditionally, medical decisions are based on the combined strength of clinical facts and the experience of the clinician. A growing understanding of the molecular, genetic and biochemical basis of diseases have greatly increased the degree of complexity in medical decision-making. To identify risk factors in medical registers, a n
