What factors determine when the UN decides to intervene to stop civilians from being harmed? And what determines the type of response? This project focuses on these questions by examining the interplay ...

Forskningsprojekt från 2019-01-01 till 2024-12-31

Gauge theories describe the fundamental subnuclear forces; in work by the applicant and collaborators this class of theories was shown to possess a deep mathematical structure that correlates spacetime ...

Forskningsprojekt från 2019-01-01 till 2024-12-31

The identity of politicians affects which policies get selected, how well they are implemented, and who benefits from them. While this is intuitive for autocracies, in which rulers face few constraints ...

Forskningsprojekt från 2021-01-01 till 2024-12-31

Glaciers outside the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets are at present, despite their small volume (200,000 glaciers on Earth. A range of remote sensing and in situ observations of surface conditions and ...

The purpose of the project is to bring new insights regarding the relationship between firms’ hiring needs, their posted vacancies, job-search behavior, and realized labour market outcomes. At every point ...

Forskningsprojekt från 2020-12-01 till 2026-11-30

Cases of police violence and abuse occur throughout the democratic world, presenting a challenge for states seeking to prevent police misconduct. One of the ways states address this issue is through police ...

Forskningsprojekt från 2021-01-01 till 2024-12-31

Following billions of years of microbial life, the transition to a world of complex animals between 580 and 541 Ma marks a fundamental milestone of evolution. Despite its significance, how this transition ...

Despite more than 100 million infections annually and extensive scientific efforts to understand disease mechanisms, the clinical course of dengue infection, progression to severe dengue disease, particularly ...

Forskningsprojekt från 2021-01-01 till 2024-12-31

The cosmic origin of elements beyond iron in the periodic table is a long standing puzzle. As such, one of the main astrophysical highlights of the last decade is without doubt the indication of rapid ...

Forskningsprojekt från 2021-01-01 till 2024-12-31

It has become increasingly clear that lysosome-governed processes support cancer progression, for example by reprogramming anabolic metabolism and by facilitating cancer cell survival through the recycling ...

Forskningsprojekt från 2021-01-01 till 2024-12-31

Sex chromosomes arose independently several times in evolution from ordinary autosomal pairs by acquiring a sex determining region, followed by recombination suppression, accumulation of repeats and degeneration ...

Forskningsprojekt från 2019-01-01 till 2024-12-31

Single particle imaging using subpicosecond intense pulses from X-ray lasers has been identified as a path to obtain high-resolution images of proteins or viruses, without the need of crystallization. ...

Forskningsprojekt från 2021-01-01 till 2024-12-31

Polar lows, intense mesoscale cyclones over high-latitude oceans, pose considerable risk to the Arctic activities. With climate change, the increased commercial activity is expected to largely increase ...

Forskningsprojekt från 2021-01-01 till 2024-12-31

Since their exit from Africa, modern humans have overlapped and interbred with Neandertals and Denisovans across time and space. However, our knowledge on these specific interactions remains largely limited ...
