Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The COVID-19 pandemic has affected all domains of human life, including the economic and social fabric of societies. One of the central strategies for managing public health throughout the pandemic has been through persuasive messaging and collective behaviour change. To help scholars better understand the social and moral psychology behind public health behaviour, we present a dataset comprising of 51,404 individuals from 69 countries. This dataset was collected for the International Collaboration on Social & Moral Psychology of COVID-19 project (ICSMP COVID-19). This social science survey invited participants around the world to complete a series of moral and psychological measures and public health attitudes about COVID-19 during an early phase of the COVID-19 pandemic (between April and June 2020). The survey included seven broad categories of questions: COVID-19 beliefs and compliance behaviours; identity and social attitudes; ideology; health and well-being; moral beliefs and motivation; personality traits; and demographic variables. We report both raw and cleaned data, along with all survey materials, data visualisations, and psychometric evaluations of key variables.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Understanding collective behaviour is an important aspect of managing the pandemic response. Here the authors show in a large global study that participants that reported identifying more strongly with their nation reported greater engagement in public health behaviours and support for public health policies in the context of the pandemic. Changing collective behaviour and supporting non-pharmaceutical interventions is an important component in mitigating virus transmission during a pandemic. In a large international collaboration (Study 1, N = 49,968 across 67 countries), we investigated self-reported factors associated with public health behaviours (e.g., spatial distancing and stricter hygiene) and endorsed public policy interventions (e.g., closing bars and restaurants) during the early stage of the COVID-19 pandemic (April-May 2020). Respondents who reported identifying more strongly with their nation consistently reported greater engagement in public health behaviours and support for public health policies. Results were similar for representative and non-representative national samples. Study 2 (N = 42 countries) conceptually replicated the central finding using aggregate indices of national identity (obtained using the World Values Survey) and a measure of actual behaviour change during the pandemic (obtained from Google mobility reports). Higher levels of national identification prior to the pandemic predicted lower mobility during the early stage of the pandemic (r = -0.40). We discuss the potential implications of links between national identity, leadership, and public health for managing COVID-19 and future pandemics.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have mapped risk alleles for at least 10 distinct cancers to a small region of 63 000 bp on chromosome 5p15.33. This region harbors the TERT and CLPTM1L genes; the former encodes the catalytic subunit of telomerase reverse transcriptase and the latter may play a role in apoptosis. To investigate further the genetic architecture of common susceptibility alleles in this region, we conducted an agnostic subset-based meta-analysis (association analysis based on subsets) across six distinct cancers in 34 248 cases and 45 036 controls. Based on sequential conditional analysis, we identified as many as six independent risk loci marked by common single-nucleotide polymorphisms: five in the TERT gene (Region 1: rs7726159, P = 2.10 × 10(-39); Region 3: rs2853677, P = 3.30 × 10(-36) and PConditional = 2.36 × 10(-8); Region 4: rs2736098, P = 3.87 × 10(-12) and PConditional = 5.19 × 10(-6), Region 5: rs13172201, P = 0.041 and PConditional = 2.04 × 10(-6); and Region 6: rs10069690, P = 7.49 × 10(-15) and PConditional = 5.35 × 10(-7)) and one in the neighboring CLPTM1L gene (Region 2: rs451360; P = 1.90 × 10(-18) and PConditional = 7.06 × 10(-16)). Between three and five cancers mapped to each independent locus with both risk-enhancing and protective effects. Allele-specific effects on DNA methylation were seen for a subset of risk loci, indicating that methylation and subsequent effects on gene expression may contribute to the biology of risk variants on 5p15.33. Our results provide strong support for extensive pleiotropy across this region of 5p15.33, to an extent not previously observed in other cancer susceptibility loci.

A bibliometric analysis of battery research with the BATTERY 2030+ roadmap as point of departure
- 2022
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- In this bibliometric study, we analyze the six battery research subfields identified in the BATTERY 2030+ roadmap: Battery Interface Genome, Materials Acceleration Platform, Recyclability, Smart functionalities: Self-healing, Smart functionalities: Sensing, and Manufacturability. In addition, we analyze the entire research field related to BATTERY 2030+ as a whole, using two operationalizations. We (a) evaluate the European standing in the subfields/the BATTERY 2030+ field in comparison to the rest of the world, and (b) identify strongholds of the subfields/the BATTERY 2030+ field across Europe. For each subfield and the field as a whole, we used seed articles, i.e. articles listed in the BATTERY 2030+ roadmap or cited by such articles, in order to generate additional, similar articles located in an algorithmically obtained classification system. The output of the analysis is publication volumes, field normalized citation impact values with comparisons between country/country aggregates and between organizations, co-publishing networks between countries and organizations, and keyword co-occurrence networks. For the results related to (a), the performance of EU & associated (countries) is similar to China and the aggregate Japan-South Korea-Singapore and well below North America regarding citation impact and with respect to the field as a whole. Exceptions are, however, the subfields Battery Interface Genome and Recyclability. For the results related to (b), there is a large variability in the EU & associated organizations regarding volume in the different subfields. For citation impact, examples of high-performing EU & associated organizations are ETH Zurich and Max Planck Society for the Advancement of Science.

A Roadmap for Transforming Research to Invent the Batteries of the Future Designed within the European Large Scale Research Initiative BATTERY 2030
- 2022
-
Ingår i: Advanced Energy Materials. - : John Wiley & Sons. - 1614-6832 .- 1614-6840. ; 12:17

Forskningsöversikt (refereegranskat)abstract
- This roadmap presents the transformational research ideas proposed by "BATTERY 2030+," the European large-scale research initiative for future battery chemistries. A "chemistry-neutral" roadmap to advance battery research, particularly at low technology readiness levels, is outlined, with a time horizon of more than ten years. The roadmap is centered around six themes: 1) accelerated materials discovery platform, 2) battery interface genome, with the integration of smart functionalities such as 3) sensing and 4) self-healing processes. Beyond chemistry related aspects also include crosscutting research regarding 5) manufacturability and 6) recyclability. This roadmap should be seen as an enabling complement to the global battery roadmaps which focus on expected ultrahigh battery performance, especially for the future of transport. Batteries are used in many applications and are considered to be one technology necessary to reach the climate goals. Currently the market is dominated by lithium-ion batteries, which perform well, but despite new generations coming in the near future, they will soon approach their performance limits. Without major breakthroughs, battery performance and production requirements will not be sufficient to enable the building of a climate-neutral society. Through this "chemistry neutral" approach a generic toolbox transforming the way batteries are developed, designed and manufactured, will be created.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- We conducted a two-stage genome-wide association study of pancreatic cancer, a cancer with one of the lowest survival rates worldwide. We genotyped 558,542 SNPs in 1,896 individuals with pancreatic cancer and 1,939 controls drawn from 12 prospective cohorts plus one hospital-based case-control study. We conducted a combined analysis of these groups plus an additional 2,457 affected individuals and 2,654 controls from eight case-control studies, adjusting for study, sex, ancestry and five principal components. We identified an association between a locus on 9q34 and pancreatic cancer marked by the SNP rs505922 (combined P = 5.37 x 10(-8); multiplicative per-allele odds ratio 1.20; 95% confidence interval 1.12-1.28). This SNP maps to the first intron of the ABO blood group gene. Our results are consistent with earlier epidemiologic evidence suggesting that people with blood group O may have a lower risk of pancreatic cancer than those with groups A or B.

Origin of the high-temperature Olserum-Djupedal REE-phosphate mineralisation, SE Sweden : A unique contact metamorphic-hydrothermal system
- 2018

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The Swedish part of the Fennoscandian Shield hosts a variety of rare earth element (REE) deposits, including magmatic to magmatic-hydrothermal types. This paper focuses on the origin of the Olserum-Djupedal REEphosphate mineralisation located in the sparsely studied Vastervik region, SE Sweden. Here, mineralisation occurs in three main areas, Olserum, Djupedal and Bersummen. Primary hydrothermal REE mineralisation formed at high temperatures (about 600 degrees C), leading to precipitation of monazite-(Ce), xenotime-(Y), fluor apatite and minor (Y,REE,U,Fe)-(Nb,Ta)-oxides in veins and vein zones dominated by biotite, amphibole, magnetite and quartz. The veins are hosted primarily by metasedimentary rocks present close to, or within, the contact aureole of a local 1.8 Ga ferroan alkali feldspar granite pluton, but also occur within in the chemically most primitive granite in the outermost part of that pluton. In the Djupedal area, REE-mineralised metasedimentary bodies are extensively migmatised, with migmatisation post-dating the main stage of mineralisation. In the Olserum and Bersummen areas, the REE-bearing veins are cross-cut by abundant pegmatitic to granitic dykes. The field-relationships demonstrate a-protracted magmatic evolution of the granitic,pluton and a clear spatial and temporal relationship of the REE mineralisation to the granite. The major and trace element chemistry of ore-associated biotite and magnetite support genetic links between all mineralised areas. Biotite mineral chemistry data further demonstrate a distinct chemical trend from meta sediment-hosted ore-associated biotite distal to the major contact of the granite to the biotite in the granite hosted veins. This trend is characterised by a systematic decrease in Mg and Na and a coupled increase in Fe and Ti with proximity to the granite-hosted veins. The halogen compositions of ore-associated biotite indicate elevated contents of HCl and HF in the primary REE mineralising fluid. Calculated log(f(HF)/f(HCL)) values in the Olserum area suggest a constant ratio of about -1 at temperatures of 650-550 degrees C during the evolution of the primary hydrothermal system. In the Djupedal and Bersummen areas, the fluid locally equilibrated at lower log (f(HF)/f(HCl)) values down to -2. High Na contents in ore-associated biotite and amphibole, and the abundance of primary ore-associated biotite indicate a K- and Na-rich character of the primary REE mineralising fluid and suggest initial high-temperature K-Na metasomatism. With subsequent cooling of the system, the fluid evolved locally to more Ca-rich compositions as indicated by the presence of the Ca-rich minerals allanite-(Ce) and uvitic tourmaline and by the significant calcic alteration of monazite-(Ce). The later Ca-rich stages were probably coeval with low to medium-high temperature (200-500 degrees C) Na-Ca metasomatism variably affecting the granite and the wall rocks, producing distinct white quartz-plagioclase rocks. All observations and data lead us to discard the prevailing model that the REE mineralisation in the Olserum-Djupedal district represents assimilated and remobilised former heavy mineral-rich beds. Instead, we propose that the primary REE mineralisation formed by granite-derived fluids enriched in REE and P that were expelled early during the evolution of a local granitic pluton. The REE mineralisation developed primarily in the contact aureole of this granite and represents the product of a high temperature contact metamorphic-hydrothermal mineralising system. The REE mineralisation probably formed synchronously with K-Na and subsequent Na-Ca metasomatism affecting the granite and the wall rocks. The later Na-Ca metasomatic stage is probably related to a regional Na +/- Ca metasomatic and associated U +/- REE mineralising system operating concurrently with granitic magmatism at c. 1.8 Ga in the Vastervik region. This highlights the potential for discovering hitherto unknown REE deposits and for the reappraisal of already known deposits in this part of the Fennoscandian Shield.

Value chain for production of bio-oil from kraft lignin for use as bio-jet fuel
- 2017
-
Ingår i: The 7th Nordic Wood Biorefinery Conference held in Stockholm, Sweden, 28-30 Mar. 2017. - Stockholm : RISE Bioekonomi. - 9789186018207 ; , s. 104-109

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- The LignoJet project aimed to achieve an intermediate lignin-oil product miscible with fossil feedstock and with a significantly reduced oxygen content. A technical concept for production has been studied that involves combined catalysed depolymerisation and hydrodeoxygenation, so called hydrogenolytic depolymerisation, of kraft lignin. Kraft lignin was separated through membrane ultrafiltration from softwood and eucalyptus black liquor followed by precipitation through LignoBoost technology. A difference in lignin properties was observed between ultrafiltration of softwood and eucalyptus black liquor through 15 and 150kDa ceramic membranes. Lignin-oils with similar oxygen content were produced regardless of origin and fractionation technique. A lignin-oil with favourable properties as precursor for refinery integration for jet fuel production as produced in small-scale batch experiments using nickel-based catalyst. Stable pumpable oils with melting point of less than 25-50 deg C and with 20-30% lower oxygen content and aromatic content were obtained that would be suitable as jet fuel precursors. The estimated production cost was found to be competitive with that of other liquid biofuels, while additional revenues could potentially be achieved by also producing chemical and materials from suitable fractions of the lignin-oil.

Developmental exposure to fluoxetine modulates the serotonin system in hypothalamus
- 2013
-
Ingår i: PLOS ONE. - : Public Library of Science (PLoS). - 1932-6203. ; 8:1
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) fluoxetine (FLU, Prozac®) is commonly prescribed for depression in pregnant women. This results in SSRI exposure of the developing fetus. However, there are knowledge gaps regarding the impact of SSRI exposure during development. Given the role of serotonin in brain development and its cross-talk with sex hormone function, we investigated effects of developmental exposure to pharmacologically relevant concentrations of FLU (3 and 30 nM (measured)) on brain neurotransmitter levels, gonadal differentiation, aromatase activity in brain and gonads, and the thyroid system, using the Xenopus tropicalis model. Tadpoles were chronically exposed (8 weeks) until metamorphosis. At metamorphosis brains were cryosectioned and levels of serotonin, dopamine, norepinephrine, and their metabolites 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid, 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid, and homovanillic acid were measured in discrete regions (telencephalon, hypothalamus and the reticular formation) of the cryosections using high-performance liquid chromatography. Exposure to 30 nM FLU increased the concentration of 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid in hypothalamus compared with controls. FLU exposure did not affect survival, time to metamorphosis, thyroid histology, gonadal sex differentiation, or aromatase activity implying that the effect on the serotonergic neurotransmitter system in the hypothalamus region was specific. The FLU concentration that impacted the serotonin system is lower than the concentration measured in umbilical cord serum, suggesting that the serotonin system of the developing brain is highly sensitive to in utero exposure to FLU. To our knowledge this is the first study showing effects of developmental FLU exposure on brain neurochemistry. Given that SSRIs are present in the aquatic environment the current results warrant further investigation into the neurobehavioral effects of SSRIs in aquatic wildlife.

Sinnenas musik : En exkursion i sex satser
- 2023
-
Bok (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Vad händer när musik möter människans olika sinnen? Hur påverkas vi av musiken vi hör, och vad kan vi med sinnenas hjälp lära oss? Hur låter champagne, hur doftar Vivaldi och vad kan klanger ge för aromatiska associationer? ”Sinnenas musik” är en utforskning av musikens betydelse för våra sinnen och hur våra sinnen korsbefruktar varandra. Att musik har betydelse för både kropp och själ har nog de flesta personlig erfarenhet av. Inte minst hjärnans olika funktioner påverkas av tonkonst, som motivation, uppmärksamhet, känslor, minne och språkförmåga. Ny forskning visar också att kultur i olika former kan vara skyddande mot bland annat Alzheimers sjukdom. Så vare sig du lever i allegrissimo eller i ett lugnare andante, i dur eller moll, gillar ensemblespel eller föredrar solouppträdanden, påverkas alla dina sinnen av musik kanske också på ett sätt som du inte är helt medveten om. Boken har tillkommit efter en seminarieserie på Jonsereds herrgård vid Göteborgs universitet. Redaktörer är Anna Falkenland och Lena Ulrika Rudeke. Textförfattaren Eva Lundgren är redaktör och journalist. Förord av Catharina Dyrssen, professor emerita i arkitektur och designmetodik. Länk till musik med Duo Granmo-Berg – Tobias Granmo, violinist och lektor i kammarmusik, och Daniel Berg, slagverkare, kompositör och professor i musikalisk gestaltning. Boken avslutas med en ackompanjerande bildsvit för fortsatt utforskande av sinnenas korsbefruktning.

Building Institutional Trust Through Service Experiences : Private Versus Public Provision Matter
- 2020
-

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Welfare service experiences are known to shape citizens' trust in public institutions and their sup-port of the welfare state. But, there is poor understanding of how this relationship is shaped in systems of mixed provision, that is, welfare states that use public in-house as well as contracted private providers for publically funded services. Drawing on the notion of system trust this article provides a theoretical account of how mixed-provision welfare systems condition the relationship between service experience and trust, affecting the legitimacy of the state. Utilizing a random-ized vignette experiment with participants in a general citizen survey in Sweden, we investigate whether it matters for the formation of institutional trust if the welfare service is provided by a public or third-party private provider. The main result show that the spillover of trust from positive service experiences with the provider to trust in public institutions is higher in cases of public ser-vice provision. Thus, the possibility of using welfare services to build trust in the welfare system seems to be greater when public provision is used.

Trust and safety in the segregated city : contextualizing the relationship between institutional trust, crime-related insecurity and generalized trust

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Trust is a crucial asset for any society, and the quest to generate and uphold trust is as crucial as ever. Several contemporary societal developments are proposed as being particularly challenging for upholding and restoring the levels of trust in society, including increasing ethnic diversity, rising inequality and the related geographical segregation. It has been convincingly argued that democratic institutions may generate trust by neutralizing some of these effects. This article explores how the mechanisms of trust differ in segregated, disadvantaged neighbourhoods as opposed to the surrounding general society. The empirical material consists of individual-level data from a segregated neighbourhood (Vivalla) in a medium-sized city in Sweden (Örebro), with a random sample from the population of the city (the Vivalla area excluded) as the comparison reference point, representing the general society. In the article we introduce perceived safety as an important mediator between trust in legal and government institutions and generalized trust, through which the differing mechanisms become evident. In the disadvantaged neighbourhood, we show that trust in government institutions has the function of primarily decreasing crime-related insecurity, which in its turn affects generalized trust. Thus, the relationship is indirect. In the city population, the effect instead goes directly from trust in government institutions to generalized trust. The results suggest that the potentials of different means to build and restore trust are dependent on local context.

The Irradiated Brain Microenvironment Supports Glioma Stemness and Survival via Astrocyte-Derived Transglutaminase 2

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The tumor microenvironment plays an essential role in supporting glioma stemness and radioresistance. Following radiotherapy, recurrent gliomas form in an irradiated microenvironment. Here we report that astrocytes, when pre-irradiated, increase stemness and survival of cocultured glioma cells. Tumor-naive brains increased reactive astrocytes in response to radiation, and mice subjected to radiation prior to implantation of glioma cells developed more aggressive tumors. Extracellular matrix derived from irradiated astrocytes were found to be a major driver of this phenotype and astrocyte-derived transglutaminase 2 (TGM2) was identified as a promoter of glioma stemness and radioresistance. TGM2 levels increased after radiation in vivo and in recurrent human glioma, and TGM2 inhibitors abrogated glioma stemness and survival. These data suggest that irradiation of the brain results in the formation of a tumor-supportive microenvironment. Therapeutic targeting of radiation-induced, astrocyte-derived extracellular matrix proteins may enhance the efficacy of standard-of-care radiotherapy by reducing stemness in glioma. Significance: These findings presented here indicate that radiotherapy can result in a tumor-supportive microenvironment, the targeting of which may be necessary to overcome tumor cell therapeutic resistance and recurrence.

- By collecting and analysing survey data from newly employed audit assistants at the largest accounting firms in Sweden, this chapter aims to analyse key aspects of becoming an auditor. The study investigates the characteristics of these audit assistants and to what extent their opinions coincide with the opinions of other highly educated citizens. It also investigates to what extent four value commitments of the new recruits coincide with these of senior auditors. The results show that the ones recruited today are more diverse than their older peers with respect to educational, socio-economical, and geographical backgrounds. While sharing high confidence in the universities, the legal system, and the police, the audit recruits' opinions (i.e. trust in societal institutions like the media) deviate from other citizens with higher education. The similar opinions related to auditing (e.g. professional and client commitments) indicate that the newly recruited auditors seem to already closely reflect the identity of authorised and approved auditors when being employed. They also believe that the reason for their being hired is more related to ‘soft’ skills than to ‘hard’ accounting and auditing knowledge.

Biochemical discrimination between selenium and sulfur 1 : a single residue provides selenium specificity to human selenocysteine lyase
- 2012
-
Ingår i: PLoS One. - Stockholm : Karolinska Institutet, Dept of Medical Biochemistry and Biophysics. - 1932-6203.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Selenium and sulfur are two closely related basic elements utilized in nature for a vast array of biochemical reactions. While toxic at higher concentrations, selenium is an essential trace element incorporated into selenoproteins as selenocysteine (Sec), the selenium analogue of cysteine (Cys). Sec lyases (SCLs) and Cys desulfurases (CDs) catalyze the removal of selenium or sulfur from Sec or Cys and generally act on both substrates. In contrast, human SCL (hSCL) is specific for Sec although the only difference between Sec and Cys is the identity of a single atom. The chemical basis of this selenium-over-sulfur discrimination is not understood. Here we describe the X-ray crystal structure of hSCL and identify Asp146 as the key residue that provides the Sec specificity. A D146K variant resulted in loss of Sec specificity and appearance of CD activity. A dynamic active site segment also provides the structural prerequisites for direct product delivery of selenide produced by Sec cleavage, thus avoiding release of reactive selenide species into the cell. We thus here define a molecular determinant for enzymatic specificity discrimination between a single selenium versus sulfur atom, elements with very similar chemical properties. Our findings thus provide molecular insights into a key level of control in human selenium and selenoprotein turnover and metabolism.

Fluorescent Discrimination between Traces of Chemical Warfare Agents and Their Mimics
- 2014
-
Ingår i: Journal of the American Chemical Society. - : American Chemical Society (ACS). - 0002-7863 .- 1520-5126. ; 136:11, s. 4125-4128
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- An array of fluorogenic probes is able to discriminate between nerve agents, sarin, soman, tabun, VX and their mimics, in water or organic solvent, by qualitative fluorescence patterns and quantitative multivariate analysis, thus making the system suitable for the in-the-field detection of traces of chemical warfare agents as well as to differentiate between the real nerve agents and other related compounds.

Battery 2030+ Roadmap
- 2020
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Climate change is the biggest challenge facing the world today. Europe is committed to achieving a climate-neutral society by 2050, as stated in the European Green Deal.1 The transition towards a climate-neutral Europe requires fundamental changes in the way we generate and use energy. If batteries can be made simultaneously more sustainable, safe, ultrahigh performing, and affordable, they will be true enablers, “accelerating the shift towards sustainable and smart mobility; supplying clean, affordable and secure energy; and mobilizing industry for a clean and circular economy” - all of which are important elements of the UN Sustainable Development Goals.In other words, batteries are a key technology for battling carbon dioxide emissions from the transport, power, and industry sectors. However, to reach our sustainability goals, batteries must exhibit ultra-high performance beyond their capabilities today. Ultra-high performance includes energy and power performance approaching theoretical limits, outstanding lifetime and reliability, and enhanced safety and environmental sustainability. Furthermore, to be commercially successful, these batteries must support scalability that enables cost-effective large-scale production.BATTERY 2030+, is the large-scale, long-term European research initiative with the vision of inventing the sustainable batteries of the future, to enable Europe to reach the goals envisaged in the European Green Deal. BATTERY 2030+ is at the heart of a green and connected society.BATTERY 2030+ will contribute to create a vibrant battery research and development (R&D) community in Europe, focusing on long-term research that will continuously feed new knowledge and technologies throughout the value chain, resulting in new products and innovations. In addition, the initiative will attract talent from across Europe and contribute to ensure access to competences needed for ongoing societal transformation.The BATTERY 2030+ aims are:• to invent ultra-high performance batteries that are safe, affordable, and sustainable, witha long lifetime.• to provide new tools and breakthrough technologies to the European battery industrythroughout the value chain.• to enable long-term European leadership in both existing markets (e.g., transport andstationary storage) and future emerging sectors (e.g., robotics, aerospace, medical devices, and Internet of things)With this roadmap, BATTERY 2030+ advocates research directions based on a chemistry-neutral approach that will allow Europe to reach or even surpass its ambitious battery performance targets set in the European Strategic Energy Technology Plan (SET-Plan)3 and foster innovation throughout the battery value chain.

Common diseases alter the physiological age-related blood microRNA profile
- 2020
-
Ingår i: Nature Communications. - : Springer Science and Business Media LLC. - 2041-1723. ; 11:1
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Aging is a key risk factor for chronic diseases of the elderly. MicroRNAs regulate post-transcriptional gene silencing through base-pair binding on their target mRNAs. We identified nonlinear changes in age-related microRNAs by analyzing whole blood from 1334 healthy individuals. We observed a larger influence of the age as compared to the sex and provide evidence for a shift to the 5’ mature form of miRNAs in healthy aging. The addition of 3059 diseased patients uncovered pan-disease and disease-specific alterations in aging profiles. Disease biomarker sets for all diseases were different between young and old patients. Computational deconvolution of whole-blood miRNAs into blood cell types suggests that cell intrinsic gene expression changes may impart greater significance than cell abundance changes to the whole blood miRNA profile. Altogether, these data provide a foundation for understanding the relationship between healthy aging and disease, and for the development of age-specific disease biomarkers.

- Can we improve humans by augmentation of some functions, a robot arm or modification of DNA? What does it mean to be human, and can the perception of being your authentic you, be augmented, and are you more authentic then? The possibilities to manipulate pictures and data, also raises questions, both in art and in science - what does authentic mean? The acoustics of the environment in which a musical performance is taking place are an integral component of the performance. This is true for all sorts of genres: The acoustics of, say, a concert hall influence the interaction between the musicians and how the sound emitted by the musical instruments reaches the listener. Similarly, the room is part of the sound of a loudspeaker when recorded sound is being played. In this presentation, we will explain a selection of acoustical phenomena related to music performance spaces and musical instruments and how they influence the performance and the perception of it. The presentation by Prof. Jens Ahrens is interleaved with live performances and demonstrations by Duo Granmo-Berg.

Konstnärligt arbete (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Of course I know, but still..Imagine sitting in the audience of a theater play when on stage two people are waving a blue plastic sheet between them. A third person comes walking across the stage with a cardboard structure around their waist and two wooden sticks in their hands. It is obvious that what you see is picturing someone in a boat, on the ocean. If you doubt that and say “I see that it is not the ocean it is plastic!” you will break the necessary agreement in an aesthetic experience. “The suspension of disbelief” seems to be a condition for experiencing different cultural phenomena. Is this also relevant in science and other areas of knowledge production? Duo Granmo/Berg Theme: Man-Machine an interaction concert together with inventor and composer Torbjörn Grass and his musical artifacts.

Konstnärligt arbete (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- In our society, time seems central and many people complain about a lack of time. Everything should go faster and faster, but is there even time? What is time? In science we find time in many fundamental equations and Einstein described time as a sequence of events. We are talking about biological time and in music and dance rhythm is central. Some describe time as linear, others as circular. Some say that time is passing, others that it will come. Regardless, time seems central to us humans and together with researchers, artists, students and other curious people, we want to explore time.

AHA-Festival 2023 "Resonance"

Ingår i: Chalmers Tekniska Högskola.
-
Konstnärligt arbete (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- In its most physical sense, resonance occurs when two or more objects affect each other in a way that they come into harmony. Resonance is also an explanatory model for stability, structure, and properties in chemical compounds. According to the German sociologist Hartmut Rosa, resonance is not merely an emotional state but a way of relating to the world. He suggests that resonance is a common thread in all the experiences that make life worth living. Resonance involves the absorption of energy from an impulse, resulting in oscillations with the same frequency in the absorber. To bring about political change through coalitions and confrontations, one must be sensitive to resonances. Effective leaders can generate resonance and energy, thus motivating others in a positive and emotional direction. Furthermore, resonance plays a crucial role in music, acoustics, architecture, and the intersection of art and science. Duo Granmo/Berg Workshop theme: Resonans between musicians, room,and listener.

Konstnärligt arbete (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Within the natural sciences, you often expect there to be one, single correct answer. But many of the challenges in our society today, require a combination of competences and perspectives. When playing around with facts and logics, you never know what to expect. You could discover the unexpected, that could bring us to the next level. Or just have fun. If it is a computer game or some sport, you play, or music, or a movie, or a theater play, or… Regardless of what you play, you explore what we know, and what we do not know. Welcome to discover new perspectives together with us, and to play everything. Duo Granmo/Berg theme: Sixth Sense- Future challenge within research as well as in other parts of the society requires a combination of competence and perspectives if we are going to create a sustainable future. Albert Einstein said: The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift. If we consider the way we understand our world as made up of things we can see and interpret rationally there is also many experiences we cannot organize intellectualize and quantity simply because it is too complex. Art is a way to understand our world as well as science is with its own characteristic language and approach. What an we do to nurture and develop the sixth sense for a sustainable future. Discussion together with the Head of Chalmers Stefan Bengtsson, Prof. Peter Christensson and Prof. Michael Ericsson.

Frontside International Chamber Music Festival- Direction 57 North!
- 2023
-
Ingår i: Kronhuset 2023.
-
Konstnärligt arbete (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- DIRECTION 57° NORTH 12–15 januari 2023 firar Frontside 5-års jubileum och Göteborg firar 400 år! Festivalens tetralogi med de fyra väderstrecken är en hyllning till Göteborgs internationella historia och blir nu komplett med temat DIRECTION 57° NORTH. Efter 2019 med temat m/s transatlantic, 2020 Österut och 2022 Sydvindar riktas våra öron nu mot musik från länder som har haft ett stort inflytande på Göteborgs utseende som Nederländerna, Tyskland, Skottland och England. Det blir ett fullspäckat program med musik av Rebecka Clarke, John Ireland, Joseph Haydn, Jacob van Eyck, Johann Sebastian Bach, Johannes Brahms, Judith Weir, James MacMillan, Ludwig van Beethoven, Oliver Knussen, Leoš Janáček, Gustav Mahler, Benjamin Britten och många fler. Tjeckien får också extra ljus på sig med musik av Bedřich Smetana, som var verksam i Göteborg vid mitten av 1800-talet. Vi har glädjen att få hans två stråkkvartetter framförda av en Europas mest framstående stråkkvartetter Zemlinsky Quartet från Prag. Svenska sopranen *Malin Hartelius som huvudsakligen sjunger på Staatsoper Wien och Zürich Opernhaus gästar Göteborg tillsammans med en av Storbritanniens främsta kammarmusikpianister skotske Alastair Beatson *Tyvärr har Malin Hartelius blivit sjuk. Vi önskar henne god bättring och välkomnar hovsångerskan Elin Rombo som på kort varsel hoppar in. Göteborgs egen eminenta Trio Poseidon medverkar liksom Kungliga Musikaliska Akademiens vice preses organisten Hans Davidsson (Camille Bloche ersätter Hans Davidsson som dessvärre ställt in sin medverkan på grund av sjukdom) samt Göteborgsduon Duo Granmo- Berg. Årets Interpretpristagare blockflöjtisten Anna Petrini och den efterfrågade nyckelharpspelaren Emilia Amper kombinerar svensk, bohuslänsk, skotsk och norsk folkmusik med barockmusik. De förlänar även festivalen med ett uruppförande av den norska ackordeonisten Frode Haltli. Självklart framförs musik av Göteborgstonsättare som bl a Elfrida Andrée, Malin Bång, Lina Järnegård, Sven-Eric Johansson och Wilhelm Stenhammar. Paula af Malmborg Wards ”Portersviten” för ostämt piano, stämda Porterflaskor samt interagerande publik i Balladen om Portern är skräddarsytt för Restaurang Porter Pelle och Waterfront Hotell. Ytterligare otippad konsertscen är Styrsöbolagets m/s Kungsö där Palle Dahlstedt placerar sitt purfärska verk ”Finger breath ” med live- elektronik. Garanterade spektakulära uruppföranden av två av Göteborgs mest framstående tonsättare! Våra uppskattade Vandringskonserter förvandlas i år till en exklusiv tidsresa i Göteborg på m/s Kungsö, Litteraturhuset och Språkcaféet. Anders Carlsson (fil. dr i musikvetenskap) berättar om sin specialitet-Göteborgs musikhistoria som en av posterna i det vandrande äventyret.. Barnen inkluderas i hyllningen till Göteborg med en specialkomponerad konsert. Ayla Kabaca, välkänd från bl a från Bolibompa och gitarrduon The Gothenburg Combo berättar livfullt med ord och musik om historien om människorna som har påverkat staden Göteborg. Här får barnen höra en enorm bredd av musik passande till Göteborgs brokiga historia! Återigen en Festival med ankaret i Duo Granmo/Berg och Karin Dornbusch trygga musikaliska sandbotten!

Frontside International Chamber Music Festival- Let the music sound!
- 2021
-
Ingår i: Älvsborgs kyrka 2021.
-
Konstnärligt arbete (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Den tredje Frontside festivalen genomförs trots vårt svåra läge med Pandemi i världen. Därav titeln som knyter an till tidigare kamper för vår mänsklighet. Det handlar om musikens kraft att överleva i alla möjliga situationer sedan urminnes tider. Programmets breda mångfald av kammarmusik med musik från 1600-talet fram till helt nyskrivet är beviset! I typisk Frontside-anda kan vi naturligtvis inte hålla oss borta från våra spektakulära inslag… Paula af Malmborg Ward är i sitt esse då hon uruppför Buteljernas tid, andra satsen ur Portersviten. Paula har suttit nere i restaurangen Porter Pelles porterkällare ”Carnegie Hål” och skrivit direkt för det gamla piano som står där. Med restaurangägare Björn Lager som assistent har hon radat upp porterflaskor i kronologisk ordning och bildat tonserier efter komplexa uträkningar av årgångar och storlekar. Palle Dahlstedt bistår med elektroniska klanger. Detta får inte missas! Det kompletta uruppförande med alla satserna ( med interagerande publik!) uruppförs sedan 2023 till Göteborgs 400 -års jubileum då bl a Skottland, England och Portern får extra uppmärksamhet. Ett av festivalens nyckelverk och starkt knutet till temat, är franske tonsättaren Olivier Messiaens Kvartett vid tidens ände som framförs fredagen den 15 januari, dvs på årsdagen då verket uruppfördes för exakt 80 år sedan. Messiaen som var djupt katolsk troende fullbordade ett av kammarmusikens mest fascinerande och känsloladdade verk under mycket svåra förhållanden som krigsfånge i Görlitz. Uruppförandet skedde i fånglägret den 15 januari 1941 för minst 400 krigsfångar och lägervakter. Messiaen själv och tre medfångar uruppförde kvartetten. Deras instrument var i uselt skick och saknade både tangenter, strängar och klaffar. Det måste ha varit kallt. Man kan knappt föreställa sig situationen. Messiaen mindes senare tillfället och sade: ”Aldrig har jag blivit lyssnad till med så mycket uppmärksamhet och förståelse.” Kvartettens klarinettist, Henri Akoka uttalade sig om verket: ” Det är det enda jag vill minnas från kriget!” För tredje året i rad samlar Duo Granmo/Berg och Karin Dornbusch en skara toppmusiker för ett kammarmusikaliskt möte när världen utanför håller andan!

Frontside International Chamber Music Festival - M/S Transatlantic
- 2019
-
Ingår i: Röda Sten, Göteborg.
-
Konstnärligt arbete (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Premiär för en ny internationell festival i Göteborg! Frontside ser dagens ljus i Januari 2019. Vi riktade oss västerut mot USA med temat m/s Transatlantic, då amerikansk och amerikanskt influerad musik präglade festivalen. Göteborgs stora amerikabåtar med emigrerande svenskar satte fantasin i rörelse. Temat kopplade även till dagens situation, där människor tvingas leva i flykt och skapa ett nytt liv i ett nytt land. Det associerade starkt till kompositörer som emigrerade mer eller mindre frivilligt från Europa till Amerika under sent 1800-tal och tidigt 1900-tal. En av höjdpunkterna var Charlie Chaplins stumfilm The Immigrant, där nyskriven musik av trombonisten Uwe Dierksen från Ensemble Modern. Norska tonsättaren Maja S.K Ratjkes musik, ofta med samhällskritisk underton fick en betydande plats under festivalen. Festivalen avslutades med amerikanske tonsättaren Terry Rileys In C med festivalartister sam Ron Davis Alvarez med sin Dream Orchestra bestående av ensamkommande ungdomar från bland annat Syrien och Afghanistan. Duo Granmo Berg samlade tillsammans med Klarinettisten Karin Dornbusch en skara Internationella toppmusiker för att gjuta kammarmusikens sköna vågor i det lite småkalla Göteborg Januari 2019.

Frontside International Chamber Music Festival- Sydvindar!
- 2022

Konstnärligt arbete (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- …där man på de gröna gångarna kan spatsera under kronorna av otaliga med citroner, apelsiner och pomeranser fullhängande träd… Ur en Ostindiefarares dagbok. Den tredje Frontsidefestivalen sjösätts med vår tetralogi där de fyra vädersriktningarna tematiseras. Utgångspunkten är Göteborg – Sveriges port till den stora världen! 2022 bärs Frontside söderut av en varm bris med temat Sydvindar. Uråldriga klanger, traditionell kammarmusikrepertoar fram till nutida konstmusik från framför allt Spanien, Italien, Argentina, Brasilien och Venezuela sätter sydländsk färg på festivalen. Bland tonsättare märks Heitor Villa-Lobos, Joaquín Turina, Salvatore Sciarrino, Alberto Ginastera, Luigi Boccherini, Astor Piazzolla, Jenny Hettne, Malin Bång och Victor Varela. Vi ser fram emot tre uruppföranden av Göteborgstonsättaren Ida Lundén samt spanjorerna Francesco Coll och Manuel Martinez Burgos. Medverkande är en internationell skara musiker som spanska ARD-prisvinnaren blåskvintetten Azahar Ensemble, stråktrion Trio Boccherini, pianisten Francisca Skoogh, gitarristen Jacob Kellerman, spanska multiinstrumentalisten Abraham Cupeiro , Duo Ego, Norrbotten NEO samt Göteborgsbaserade Dream Orchestra under ledning av Ron Alvarez. I år placeras festivalen i Kronhusets fantastiska lokaler. Kronhuset, som lär vara Göteborgs äldsta byggnad, påminner oss om Göteborgs fascinerande historia. Samtidigt ligger byggnaden placerad mitt i stadens moderna myller. En kombination som passar Frontside – att leva i nuet med blicken både bakåt och framåt. Denna tredje "helfestival" sker återigen med intiativtagande från Duo Granmo/Berg och Karin Dornbusch och Göteborg gästas nu återigen av internationella toppmusiker som musicerar i Kronhusets historiska rum.

Frontside International Chamber Music Festival- Österut!
- 2020
-
Ingår i: Röda Sten, Göteborg 2020.
-
Konstnärligt arbete (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Frontside Chamber Music Festival andra året. Svenska Ostindiska Companiets resor till Asien utgjorde en av inspirationskällorna för temat Österut. Fokus låg på de positiva musikaliska utbyten som har skett och fortfarande sker i dag. Kreativa och respektfulla utbyten som kan tänkas vara förebilder i en värld där olikheter alltför ofta anses vara ett problem. Den västerländska konstmusiken har präglats enormt starkt av östliga influenser. Redan tonsättare som Mozart och Schubert fascinerades av musik från Mindre Asien. Men impressionismen är kanske den musikstil som mest färgades av asiatiska tongångar. Världsutställningen i Paris 1889 var en viktig händelse, då tonsättare som Ravel och Debussy för första gången hörde musik från bland annat Indonesien. Sedan dess har det hänt mycket.. Många asiatiska musiker och tonsättare studerar västerländsk konstmusik och tar samtidigt med sig sina egna musiktraditioner i sitt musicerande och komponerande. Två kinesiska tonsättare som båda har studerat i Göteborg, Leilei Tian och Lei Feng Johansson skrev varsitt nytt stycke till festivalen. Duo Granmo/Berg samlar för andra året en skara internationella toppmusiker til den "Nya festivalen" på Röda Stens konsthall, Göteborg.

Konstnärligt arbete (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Musical mapping in architecture-the sound of Architecture ! Duo Granmo Berg was contacted by MA - student Kristin Oretorp at Chalmers Tekniska Högskola in 2020. We joined her in a project she did as examination based upon the idea of The sound of Architecture. How could a superstructure of the Gothenburg Opera House sound in a mapping context? How can the shared vocabulary in music and architecture be organised to form a framework for analysis between music and architecture? Following text by Kristin Oretorp: "Throughout history, there have been analogies between music and architecture as creative and artistic practises, both in the methods of conducting the design process and in the vocabulary used to describe how we create and experience music and architecture. We are surrounded by matter. We create architecture by deconstrucing and re-synthesizing matter, organising it in ways that create meaning to us. Originally to find appropriate shelter, but eventually also as an important means of expression. We are surrounded by sound. Similar to architecture, we create music by synthesising and organising sounds in ways that create meaning. Storytelling, worshipping, political opposition, emotional processing - music as well is a powerful medium of expression. There are similarities in the vocabulary used in both architecture and music. Concepts like rythm and harmony are central in both fields, but also words like volume, repetition, movement, ornamentation and sequences etc. In both architecture and music, layers are used through the creative design process. From early sketches to technical drawings - or from early notations to finished musical scores." Duo Granmo/Berg worked with an idea of how to interpret this particular drawing from a musical perspective and gave a performance at the examination ceremony together with the presentation of the final paper.

Konstnärligt arbete (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Duo Granmo/Berg, Chalmers Arkitektur och Aha -Festivalens team presenterar Chalmers monter på Trä och teknikmässan 2018. Montern är en gigantisk träpaviljong som med sin böjbara innovativa konstruktion skapar ett rum i rummet. Alexander Sehlström, doktorand vid Chalmers är upphovsman och Duo Granmo/Berg tolkar musikaliskt konstruktionen på plats, diskuterar med Chalmers rektor samt medverkar vid filmen om hur bygget tar form. En skapande och sökande process som tar sitt ursprung i materialval och hur olika material klingar och ljuder.

Seminarie serien "Sinnenas musik"-en doft av toner
- 2017
-
Ingår i: Jonsereds Herrgård 23 februari 2017.
-
Konstnärligt arbete (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Hur luktar musik? Vilka aromatiska associationer väcker en visa eller en schlager som man hörde i sin barndom när man många år sedan lyssnar på den? Vid det tredje Jonseredsseminariet i serien Sinnnas musik är det mot doften uppmärksamheten riktas. Vad betyder den för en musikalisk upplevelse? Kan man med hjälp av doftminnet lära sig en sång eller ett pianostycke? Duo Granmo/Berg utforskar begreppet doft utifrån det musikaliska perspektivet tillsammans med doftforskaren Mats Bender, Professor Emeritus samt diskuterar och samtalar med en inbjuden skara specialister från olika områden.
