SE-0-SE-13-1010807 Sweden The project aims to address migration challenges in Iraq by increasing awareness and access to services related to migration processes, referral mechanisms, and reintegration for outgoing, intending, and returning migrants in the Kurdistan region. This initiative also seeks to strengthen the capacities of the Government of Iraq and the Kurdistan regional government in migration management. The objectives are to: i) Facilitate timely, accurate, and comprehensive information flow on migration, including reintegration and referrals to the available services, to targeted audience in the Kurdistan region and beyond, through the Migrant Resource Centre (MRC) in Sulaymaniyah and in partnership with the Kurdistan Regional Government. ii) Increase capacity of the MOLSA in migration management, including return and reintegration. iii) Strengthening the Project Management (PM) and Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning (MEL) capacities of Iraqi institutions working on migration management programmes. Projektet syftar till att adressera migration i Irak och utmaningar kopplade till den genom att öka medvetenheten och tillgången till tjänster inom olika migrationsprocesser, remissmekanismer och återintegrering både för personer som avser att lämna landet och återvändande migranter. Detta initiativ syftar också till att stärka den irakiska regeringens och Kurdistans regionala regerings kapacitet när det gäller migrationshantering. Målen är att: i) Underlätta för snabba, korrekta och omfattande informationsflöden om migration, inklusive återintegrering och hänvisningar till tillgängliga tjänster genom Migrant Resource Centre (MRC) i Sulaymaniyah och i samarbete med Kurdistan Regional Regering ii) Öka kapaciteten hos Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs när det gäller migrationshantering, inklusive återvändande och återintegrering iii) Stärka kapaciteten för projektledning (PM) och övervakning, utvärdering och lärande (MEL) hos irakiska institutioner som arbetar med program för migrationshantering. Strengthened capacity of MEL (Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning) for the Institutions of Iraq, whom works with return and reintegration.

To address this and contribute to peaceful development, stable regional actors that cooperate across the borders and act on rule of law principles are needed. Unfortunately, regional African actors acting within the framework of the African Peace and Security Architecture (APSA) often have scarce resources and lack the capacity to effectively prevent and manage conflicts. Disagreements between member states and challenges related to coordination between different actors contribute to the situation. Against this background, FBA’s activities aim at contributing to the capacity of the regional actors in preventing and managing conflicts at the national level. FBA concentrates its activities on the Sahel region and the Horn of Africa. This involves close cooperation with the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) and the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD), as well as the African Union. FBA also collaborates with other institutions and civil society organisations. FBA prioritises activities that focus on women, peace and security as well as dialogue and mediation. The aim is to contribute to more effective, inclusive and gender-equal peace processes. To this end, FBA works with confidence-building activities, integration of a gender perspective in processes, and coordination between key actors within and between regional organisations and initiatives, providing technical advice, facilitating dialogue and capacity-building interventions. FBA also contributes to the visibility and dissemination of research related to conflict management and prevention. Den afrikanska kontinenten står inför omfattande säkerhetsutmaningar där klimatrelaterade säkerhetsrisker och en ökad utbredning av icke-statliga, beväpnade och våldsbejakande aktörer samt en stagnation av demokratiskutveckling riskerar att eskalera spänningar till öppna konflikter. För att adressera detta och bidra till en fredlig utveckling krävs stabila regionala aktörer som samverkar över landgränser och vars agerande är grundat på regelbaserade principer. Dessvärre har regionala afrikanska aktörer, inom ramarna för den afrikanska fred och säkerhetsarkitekturen (APSA), ofta knappa resurser och bristande kapacitet att på ett effektivt sätt förebygga och hantera konflikter. Arbetet försvåras på grund av oenighet mellan medlemsstater och utmaningar kopplat till samordning mellan olika aktörer verksamma i konfliktkontexter. Mot bakgrund av detta avser FBA:s strategiverksamhet bidra till att regionala fred och säkerhetsaktörer, på ett mer relevant och effektivt sätt, förebygger och hanterar konflikter på nationell nivå. Geografiskt koncentrerar FBA sin verksamhet till Sahel och Afrikas horn. Det innebär ett nära samarbete med ECOWAS och IGAD, samt Afrikanska unionen (AU). Utöver detta samarbetar FBA också med andra institut och civilsamhällesorganisationer som på olika sätt delar samma målsättningar. För att nå effekt prioriterar FBA verksamhet som fokuserar på kvinnor, fred och säkerhet och dialog och fredsmedling. Målsättningen är att FBA:s verksamheten skall bidra till mer effektiva, inkluderande och jämställda fredsprocesser. För att nå detta arbetar myndigheten med förtroendeskapande verksamhet, integrering av ett jämställdhetsperspektiv, samt skapar starkare samordning mellan olika nyckelaktörer inom och mellan regionala organisationer och initiativ. FBA gör detta genom att erbjuda teknisk rådgivning, facilitering av dialog samt genom kapacitetsstärkande interventioner.

The country’s path to democracy has been marked by power struggles, civil war and the lack of robust state institutions. Despite this, several key processes have been initiated with the aim of strengthening democracy, including the development of a federal state, constitutional reform, electoral reforms as well as national dialogue and reconciliation initiatives. The political landscape remains fragmented, with recurring power struggles between the federal government and state authorities. At the same time, armed groups such as Al-Shabaab and IS pose a continuing threat to peace and democracy, creating a long-term security crisis that hinders development. Despite the challenges, there is an active commitment from both political parties and civil society to promote dialogue, inclusion and sustainable institutions. An example is the interim constitution that was adopted in 2012 and is now being revised. Electoral laws have been adopted over the years, enabling elections at local and state levels. At the same time, national dialogues are being conducted to discuss the future of Somalia. FBA's support to Somalia during the 2019–2025 strategy period has focused on strengthening democratic processes through technical assistance related to elections and the constitution. The efforts have had a particular focus on inclusion mechanisms, with an emphasis on the participation of women and young people in political processes. FBA has also worked to strengthen the ability of the police force to ensure safe electoral environments, with respect for rights and participation. FBA will continue its support for electoral and constitutional processes while launching two new areas of intervention. The first aims to strengthen stability and resilience in areas recently liberated from armed groups, through targeted measures for the re-establishment of public services and local confidence-building. The second is a knowledge-driven collaboration linked to Sweden's MENA strategy, where in-depth analysis of conflict dynamics in the Red Sea region and their impact on Somalia will form the basis for more effective conflict prevention efforts. Sedan 1991 har Somalia befunnit sig i en utdragen konflikt- och återuppbyggnadsprocess. Landets väg mot demokrati har präglats av maktkamper, inbördeskrig och avsaknad av starka institutioner. Trots detta har flera centrala processer initierats med syfte att stärka demokratin, bland annat utveckling av ett federalt statsskick, konstitutionell reform, valreformer samt nationella dialog och försoningsinitiativ. Det politiska landskapet förblir splittrat, med återkommande maktkamper mellan den federala regeringen och delstatsmyndigheterna. Samtidigt utgör väpnade grupper som Al-Shabaab och IS ett fortsatt hot mot fred och demokrati. Detta skapar en långvarig säkerhetskris som hämmar utvecklingen. Trots dessa utmaningar finns ett aktivt engagemang från både politiskt håll och civilsamhället för att främja dialog, inkludering och hållbara institutioner. Ett uttryck för detta är den interimskonstitution som antogs 2012 och som nu revideras. Vallagar har antagits under årens lopp som möjliggjort val på lokal och delstatlig nivå. Samtidigt genomförs nationella dialoger för att diskutera Somalias framtid. FBA:s stöd till Somalia fokuserar på att stärka de demokratiska processerna genom tekniskt bistånd till valförberedelser och konstitutionellt arbete. Insatserna har ett särskilt fokus på inkluderingsmekanismer, med betoning på kvinnors och ungas deltagande i politiska processer. Inom ramen för stöd till säkerhetssektorreform arbetar FBA även med att stärka polisens förmåga att säkra trygga valmiljöer, med respekt för rättigheter och deltagande. Under 2025 fortsätter FBA sitt stöd till val- och konstitutionsprocesser samtidigt som två nya insatsområden inleds. Det första syftar till att stärka stabilitet och motståndskraft i områden som nyligen befriats från väpnade grupper, genom målinriktade åtgärder för återetablerad samhällsservice och lokalt förtroendeskapande. Det andra utgör ett kunskapsdrivet samarbete kopplat till Sveriges MENA-strategi, där fördjupad analys av konfliktdynamiker i Röda havsregionen och deras inverkan på Somalia ska ligga till grund för mer effektiva konfliktförebyggande insatser. FBA will, together with Sida, contribute to the Strategy for Sweden's development cooperation with Somalia 2018-2022 (extended until 31 december 2026). FBA activities shall contribute to peaceful and inclusive societies, and specifically aim for increased opportunities for women's and youth's participation i political processes.

Yet another result is that the police, including the police chiefs, work according a new gender policy, which the FBA has helped to formulate.

The countries share their experience as former Soviet states with lingering legacies of, for example, the Russian language and a bureaucratic state administration. Moldova is a small country with high levels of poverty, which for a couple of years has been undergoing several extensive changes in politics, security, economy and trade, as well as state administration. The demanding and complex reform processes for EU integration have already created tangible results, which in turn provide resilience to societal challenges. EU integration carries great and positive opportunities for the country’s peace, security and development, and continued investment in this process is required. At the same time, there are risks of tensions, division and societal conflicts that are reinforced by hybrid threats and influence from Russia. The unresolved conflict over the breakaway region of Transnistria also characterises the country. FBA has focused and increased its support to meet the needs of Eastern Europe, to effectively counter threats to democracy and promote peace and stability. FBA contributes primarily through various types of support to contribute to increased resilience in the region to strengthen trust in society and to prevent conflicts. FBA supports the ability of the Moldovan state administration to conduct effective reform, to integrate gender equality in the security sector and to strengthen the state's resilience against hybrid threats, for example through training and technical advice. FBA also supports Moldova's EU accession, by offering technical support on key issues for EU integration, but also by promoting team and leadership development of the national EU office. To promote the conditions for confidence-building and peace processes, FBA offers capacity-building support in areas such as negotiation, dialogue and inclusion to strategic national actors and processes. In addition to support for Moldova, FBA also contributes to Armenia, including by strengthening the work of key actors in protecting free elections. Östeuropa är en komplex och mångfacetterad region, rik i sin egen historia, men som också på flera plan befinner sig ”i mitten” mellan öst/Ryssland och väst/Europa. Länderna delar en gemensam historia som knutpunkt mellan öst och väst, där folkgrupper har mötts, riken har uppstått, krigat och omvandlats. Länderna delar sin erfarenhet som forna Sovjetstater med kvardröjande arv av exempelvis det ryska språket och en byråkratisk statsförvaltning. Moldavien är ett litet land med hög fattigdom som sedan ett par år genomgår flera omfattande förändringsprocesser inom politik, säkerhet, ekonomi och handel samt statsförvaltning. De krävande och komplexa reformprocesserna för EU-integration har redan skapat märkbara resultat som i sin tur ger motståndskraft mot samhälleliga utmaningar. EU-närmandet bär på stora och positiva möjligheter för landets fred, säkerhet och utveckling, och det krävs fortsatta investeringar i detta arbete. Samtidigt finns risker för spänningar, splittring och samhälleliga konflikter som förstärks genom hybrida hot och påverkan från Ryssland. Den olösta konflikten om utbrytarregionen Transnistrien präglar även landet. FBA bedriver omfattande bilateralt stöd till Ukraina, och utöver detta, även stöd till övriga Östeuropa, framför allt Moldavien, Armenien och Georgien. FBA har under de senaste åren kraftsamlat och ökat sitt stöd för att möta Östeuropas och Moldaviens behov, för att effektivt motverka hoten mot demokrati och främja fred och stabilitet. FBA bidrar framför allt genom olika typer av stöd för att bidra till landets ökade motståndskraft, att stärka förtroende i samhället och att förebygga konflikter. För att göra detta stöttar FBA bland annat moldavisk statsförvaltnings förmåga till att bedriva effektiv reform, att jämställdhetsintegrera säkerhetssektorn och att stärka statens resiliens mot hybrida hot, genom exempelvis utbildningar och teknisk rådgivning. FBA stöttar även Moldaviens EU-närmande, genom att erbjuda dels tekniskt stöd inom centrala frågor för EU-närmandet, men också genom att främja team- och ledarskapsutveckling av det nationella EU-kontoret. För att främja förutsättningarna för förtroendebyggande och fredsprocesser erbjuder FBA kapacitetsstärkande stöd inom exempelvis förhandling, dialog och inkludering till strategiska nationella aktörer och processer. Utöver stöd till Moldavien bidrar FBA även till Armenien, bland annat genom att stärka nyckelaktörers arbete inom skydd av fria val.

The countries are generally characterised by weak social contracts, concentration of power, lack of social cohesion and marginalisation, as well as extensive humanitarian needs. In several countries, the shrinking of civic space and lack of participation lead to exclusion, leaving room for armed non-state actors. Geopolitical rivalry and external actors increase insecurity. Unequal access to oil, gas and water deepen the challenges, as does climate insecurity, which is a central issue throughout the region. FBA’s activities in the region focus on supporting actors with the potential to promote resilience and counter regional instability by strengthening rights-based governance and societal structures. In Palestine, FBA focuses on activities related to negotiation capacity, intra-Palestinian dialogue and civil society participation in political talks to increase Palestine’s ability to formulate and participate in political solutions for the country and support for a two-state solution. In Syria, FBA explores activities linked to participation and inclusion, which are crucial factors in responding to the root causes of the conflict and strengthening the social contract. Furthermore, FBA’s work includes a forward-looking initiative in the Red Sea region, where the focus is on evidence-based understanding of the structural factors that drive the regional conflict systems in the MENA region and Horn of Africa to create the conditions for building peaceful and inclusive societies in the long term. MENA-regionen härbärgerar flera komplexa nationella och regionala konflikter som påverkar utvecklingen i regionen. Länderna präglas generellt av svaga samhällskontrakt, maktkoncentration, bristande social sammanhållning och marginalisering samt av omfattande humanitära behov. I flera länder utgör det krypande civila utrymmet och bristen på delaktighet grogrund för utanförskap som lämnar handlingsutrymme för väpnade icke-statliga aktörer. Geopolitisk rivalitet och extern påverkan accentuerar den osäkra situationen. Ojämlik tillgång till olja, gas och vatten fördjupar dessa utmaningar, liksom klimatosäkerhet som är en central fråga i hela regionen. FBA:s verksamhet i regionen fokuserar på aktörer med potential att skapa resiliens och motverka regional instabilitet genom att stärka rättighetsbaserad samhällsstyrning och fredsfrämjande samhällsstrukturer. I Palestina fokuserar myndigheten på verksamhet som rör förhandlingskapacitet, intrapalestinsk dialog och civilsamhällets deltagande i politiska samtal för att öka Palestinas förmåga att formulera och delta i politiska lösningar för landet samt stöd till en tvåstatslösning. I Syrien utforskar FBA verksamhet kopplat till delaktighet och inkludering i relationen mellan invånare och stat – avgörande faktorer för att motverka konfliktens grundorsaker och stärka samhällskontraktet.

A peace process is underway, but the ceasefire that began in April 2022 is fragile, making it difficult to secure funding for long-term aid projects. In addition to the ongoing conflict, Yemen is plagued by explosive remnants of previous wars that date back a long time. Furthermore, the conflict in Yemen is supported by other countries' governments and actors from other nations. The collapsed rule of law, combined with clan structures and hybrid warfare, has, for example, led to militant Islamist groups from the wars in Syria and Iraq now being present in Yemen. They represent a significant force in the fighting between Houthi rebels and government forces. This results in a large number of improvised explosive devices, whose explosive power is greater and more unpredictable than conventional weapons, posing a critical threat to life, health, and development/reconstruction. The UNDP has supported Yemen in establishing a national mine management authority, the National Mine Action Committee/Yemen Executive Mine Action Center (NMAC/YEMAC), and the Yemen Mine Action Coordination Center (YMACC), with offices in Aden. The MSB contribution was a long-term planned support initiative but was interrupted in 2023 when the UNDP suddenly decided to shut down the mine action program. The assessment is that the initiative contributed to ensuring capacity in mine and ammunition management and thereby achieved the expected results given the conditions of the effort Den utdragna konflikten har pågått sedan 2014 och har resulterat i en mycket svår humanitär situation i landet. En fredsprocess pågår, men vapenvilan som inleddes i april 2022 är skör vilket gör det svårt att få finansiering till långsiktiga biståndsprojekt. Utöver den pågående konflikten har Jemen explosiva lämningar av tidigare krig som sträcker sig långt tillbaka i tiden. Dessutom understödjs konflikten i Jemen av andra länders regeringar och aktörer i andra länder. Det raserade rättssamhället i kombination med klanstrukturer och hybridkrigföring har till exempel gjort att militanta islamistiska grupperingar från kriget i Syrien och Irak nu befinner sig i Jemen och utgör en maktfaktor i striderna mellan huthi-rebeller och regeringsstyrkor. Detta gör att ett stort antal improviserade explosiva vapen, vars sprängkraft är större och mer oberäknelig än konventionella vapens, utgör ett avgörande hot mot liv, hälsa och utveckling/återuppbyggnad. UNDP har gett stöd till Jemen i etableringen av en nationell minhanteringsmyndighet, National Mine Action Committee/Yemen Executive Mine Action Center (NMAC/YEMAC) och Yemen Mine Action Coordination Center (YMACC) med kontor i Aden. Insatsen var ett långsiktigt planerat stöd, men avbröts 2023 när UNDP hastigt fattade beslut om nedstängning av minhanteringsprogrammet. Bedömning är att insatsen har bidragit till säkerställd kapacitet i min- och ammunitionshantering och därmed uppnått förväntade resultat utifrån förutsättningarna för insatsen.

Behovet av både utbildning och materiel för Ukraina att kunna bedriva räddningstjänst under pågående krig är mycket stort. Samtidigt har Sverige och svensk räddningstjänst mycket att lära av Ukrainas dyrköpta erfarenheter för uppbyggnaden av det svenska civila försvaret.Under hösten 2025 har MSB genomfört ett pilot-projekt med fokus på erfarenhets_x0002_och kunskapsutbyte mellan ukrainska och svenska räddningstjänster. Två grupper av ett tiotal svenska brandmän från olika räddningstjänster vardera har, tillsammans med personal från MSB, besökt flera olika platser i Ukraina och där mött sina motsvarigheter. Projektet har inneburit en möjlighet att utbyta erfarenheter och ta med hem kunskap för utveckling av de egna organisationerna. De ukrainska räddningstjänsterna har fått efterfrågad materiel och utbildning inom taktisk sjukvård. De två pilot-utbytena har haft specifikt tema ammunitions- och minhantering, och lett till att de svenska deltagarna – med ansvar inom detta område på ett tiotal räddningstjänster runtom i Sverige – tagit med sig omfattande och högaktuella erfarenheter och kunskaper hem att implementera i den egna verksamheten. Utbytet har även kompletterats av en materieldonation från Sverige till berörda ukrainska räddningstjänster, där såväl sjukvårdsutrustning som verkstadsutrustning ingått. Projektet kommer fortgå under 2026 men byter finansieringsform, därför avslutas rapporteringen på utvecklingsbistånd. The full‑scale invasion of Ukraine, and with it a large number of Russian attacks on cities across the country, has fundamentally changed the conditions for the Ukrainian rescue services. The need for both training and equipment to enable Ukraine to carry out emergency response operations during an ongoing war is very high. At the same time, Sweden and the Swedish rescue services have much to learn from Ukraine’s hard‑earned experiences when building up Sweden’s civil defence. During the autumn of 2025, the Swedish Civil Contingencies Agency (MSB) carried out a pilot project focused on exchanging experiences and knowledge between Ukrainian and Swedish rescue services. Two groups of around ten Swedish firefighters from various rescue services, together with MSB staff, visited several locations in Ukraine and met their counterparts. The project has provided an opportunity to exchange experiences and bring home knowledge to develop their own organisations. The Ukrainian rescue services have received requested equipment and training in tactical emergency medical care. The two pilot exchanges focused specifically on ammunition and mine management, and have enabled the Swedish participants – responsible for this area within about ten rescue services across Sweden – to bring back extensive and highly relevant experience and knowledge to implement in their own operations. The exchange has also been complemented by a donation of equipment from Sweden to the relevant Ukrainian rescue services, including both medical supplies and workshop equipment. The project will continue during 2026 but will change its form of financing; therefore, reporting under development aid will be concluded.

The organizations will be trained on the principles and theories of research and infographics and its support of civic initiatives. The project perform civic initiative activities with the selected CSOs utilized as hubs for civic engagement efforts.

The voices of Palestinian youth are not heard which is both a democratic problem and a neglect of their human rights. Through this project an inclusive and highly participatory survey among Palestinian youth in different locations will be carried out. The youth will then be involved to make sense of the differences and similarities of the challenges and obstacles for effective active citizenship. Tools will be created to disseminate the findings and information to international and Palestinian civil society, as well as duty bearers with the intention to increase understanding of youth perspectives and lay the foundations for a more inclusive approach. 1.

The voices of Palestinian youth are not heard which is both a democratic problem and a neglect of their human rights. Through this project an inclusive and highly participatory survey among Palestinian youth in different locations will be carried out. The youth will then be involved to make sense of the differences and similarities of the challenges and obstacles for effective active citizenship. Tools will be created to disseminate the findings and information to international and Palestinian civil society, as well as duty bearers with the intention to increase understanding of youth perspectives and lay the foundations for a more inclusive approach. Projektet syftar till att undersöka hur palestinska ungdomar i flera länder i MENA regionen uppfattar sina möjligheter till aktivt politiskt deltagande.

So far women, especially young women have received little support to organize themselves, strategize and voice their SRHR issues. Hence, the project will promote a bottom-up approach and assist young women in the ages 18-35 to create a young women’s network for SRHR activism. The idea to build a network has been developed by young women and girls Kvinna till Kvinna works with in Rwanda. The project will target young women since they are future of the women’s right movement in Rwanda and will be able to create a more diverse and vibrant civil society around SRHR. Just as the call Young Voices Initiative indicates, to engage young women champions in Rwanda in SRHR activism is instrumental for making sure that young voices are heard. The project will clearly contribute to fundamental rights since access to SRHR is a basic human right for all and enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. A human rights perspective will be adopted throughout the project and civil society participation and participatory engagement will be crucial to the project. The advancement of SRHR is instrumental to achieving SDG 16. Ett kapacitetsstärkande projekt som bl a ska skapa nätverk av organisationer som leds av ungdomar och kvinnor.

Syftet med programmet är att stärka offentlig sektor i de medverkande partnerländerna genom att främja innovation och förnyelse i offentlig sektor, och på så sätt bidra till implementeringen av Agenda 2030. Long-term: Strengthened capacity of professionals (public sector employees and elected representatives) to work with innovation and green transition in the public sector and through this support the implementation of the 2030 Agenda for sustainable development. In the long term, the Si Public Sector innovation Program shall contribute to the public sector in partner countries conducting activities that lead to an egalitarian, equal, sustainable and/or inclusive society in order to achieve the global goals. To contribute to this, the programs must strengthen the participants' knowledge of working methods, methods and change work to run an activity that leads to an equal, equal, inclusive and/or sustainable society, but also strengthen their confidence in their own ability to drive change work within the own organization. This is done by partly promoting innovation and renewal in the public sector, partly contributing to a green transition and thus contributing to the implementation of Agenda 2030. After completing the program, the participants are expected to have increased knowledge in the relevant issues, an expanded network (both within and outside the participant group) and a strengthened capacity to drive change in and/or outside their own organization. The program is also expected to have an organizational effect. På lång sikt ska Si Public Sector innovation Programme bidra till att offentlig sektor i samarbetsländer bedriver en verksamhet som leder till ett jämlikt, jämställt, hållbart och/eller inkluderande samhälle för att uppnå de globala målen. För att bidra till detta ska programmen stärka deltagarnas kunskap om arbetssätt, metoder och förändringsarbete för att driva en verksamhet som leder till ett jämlikt, jämställt, inkluderande och/eller hållbart samhälle, men också stärka deras tilltro till sin egen förmåga att driva förändringsarbete inom den egna organisationen. Detta görs genom att dels främja innovation och förnyelse i offentlig sektor, dels bidra till grön omställning och på så sätt bidra till implementeringen av Agenda 2030. Efter avslutat program förväntas deltagarna ha ett ökad kunskap inom de berörda frågorna, ett utökat nätverk (både inom och utanför deltagargruppen) samt en stärkt kapacitet att driva förändring i och/eller utanför den egna organisationen. Programmet förväntas också ges en organisatorisk effekt.

The sub-programmes target different selected countries (often regionally) and differ thematically. Geographically, the sub-programmes may overlap. The results presented here are the combined results across all completed sub-programmes, but reported by different countries. In 2023, the 7 sub-programmes that were granted funds in 2022 were completed. A total of 155 participants from the public sector in 22 OECD/DAC countries graduated, of which 56% were women. The theme within each sub-program is expected to show increased knowledge and increased skills for participating individuals varies. The degree to which knowledge growth and skill growth has taken place regardless of the topic is reported Knowledge increase, (proportion who answered 4-5 on a five-point scale in terms of knowledge within each theme). Measured by survey, difference between baseline measurement and final measurement: 29 percentage point increase from zero measurement to final measurement, weighted average across the seven different sub-programmes. This corresponds to an increase of 76% between zero measurement and final measurement Skills increase, proportion who answered 4-5 on a five-point scale in terms of skills within each theme. Measured by survey, difference between zero measurement and final measurement: 27 percentage point increase from zero measurement to final measurement, weighted average value for seven different sub-programmes. This corresponds to an increase of 80% between zero measurement and final measurement. The results in terms of increase and knowledge and skills are good, but scattered between the sub-programmes. An overall insight is that the programs that have foreign partners in the implementation are more successful and can show greater effects. The sub-programmes themselves do not have any direct contact with each other, and touch on the theme of "innovation" to different extents. In order to increase focus and give greater opportunities for a common impression, geography and thematics should be tightened up for future calls. SIPSIP-programmet utlyses årligen, och sedan beviljas 7-8 olika delprogram medel och genomförs över 18 månader. Delprogrammen riktar sig till olika utvalda länder (ofta regionalt) och skiljer sig tematiskt åt. Geografiskt kan delprogrammen överlappa varandra. De resultat som presenteras här är det sammanlagda resultatet över alla slutförda delprogram, men i redovisningen uppdelat på olika länder. Under 2023 slutfördes de 7 delprogram som beviljades medel 2022. Totalt diplomerades 155 deltagare från offentlig sektor i 22 OECD/DAC länder, varav 56% kvinnor. Inom vilken tematik som varje delprogram förväntas visa ökad kunskap och ökade färdigheter för deltagande individer varierar. Det som rapporteras är i vilken grad kunskapsökning och färdighetsökning har skett oavsett tematik. Kunskapsökning, andel som svarat 4-5 på femgradig skala vad gäller kunskaper inom resp tema. Mätt genom enkät, skillnad mellan nollmätning och slutmätning: 29 procentenheters ökning från nollmätning till slutmätning, viktat medelvärde över de sju olika delprogrammen. Detta motsvarar en ökning på 76% mellan nollmätning och slutmätning Färdighetsökning, andel som svarat 4-5 på femgradig skala vad gäller färdigheter inom resp tema. Mätt genom enkät, skillnad mellan nollmätning och slutmätning:  27 procentenheters ökning från nollmätning till slutmätning, viktat medelvärde för sju olika delprogrammen. Detta motsvarar en ökning på 80% mellan nollmätning och slutmätning. Resultaten vad gäller ökning och kunskaper och färdigheter är goda, men spretiga delprogrammen emellan. En övergripande insikt är att de program som har utländska partners i genomförandet lyckas bättre och kan visa på större effekter. Delprogrammen i sig har inte någon direkt beröring med varandra, och berör tematiken ”innovation” i olika utsträckning. För att öka fokus och ge större möjligheter till ett gemensamt avtryck bör geografi och tematisk stramas upp inför kommande utlysningar.

The results presented here are the combined results across all completed sub-programmes, but reported by different countries. In 2023, the 7 sub-programmes that were granted funds in 2022 were completed. A total of 155 participants from the public sector in 22 OECD/DAC countries graduated, of which 56% were women. The theme within each sub-program is expected to show increased knowledge and increased skills for participating individuals varies. The degree to which knowledge growth and skill growth has taken place regardless of the topic is reported Knowledge increase, (proportion who answered 4-5 on a five-point scale in terms of knowledge within each theme). Measured by survey, difference between baseline measurement and final measurement: 29 percentage point increase from zero measurement to final measurement, weighted average across the seven different sub-programmes. This corresponds to an increase of 76% between zero measurement and final measurement Skills increase, proportion who answered 4-5 on a five-point scale in terms of skills within each theme. Measured by survey, difference between zero measurement and final measurement: 27 percentage point increase from zero measurement to final measurement, weighted average value for seven different sub-programmes. This corresponds to an increase of 80% between zero measurement and final measurement. The results in terms of increase and knowledge and skills are good, but scattered between the sub-programmes. An overall insight is that the programs that have foreign partners in the implementation are more successful and can show greater effects. The sub-programmes themselves do not have any direct contact with each other, and touch on the theme of "innovation" to different extents. In order to increase focus and give greater opportunities for a common impression, geography and thematics should be tightened up for future calls. SIPSIP-programmet utlyses årligen, och sedan beviljas 7-8 olika delprogram medel och genomförs över 18 månader. Delprogrammen riktar sig till olika utvalda länder (ofta regionalt) och skiljer sig tematiskt åt. Geografiskt kan delprogrammen överlappa varandra.

Syftet med programmet är att stärka offentlig sektor i de medverkande partnerländerna genom att främja innovation och förnyelse i offentlig sektor, och på så sätt bidra till implementeringen av Agenda 2030. Long-term: Strengthened capacity of professionals (public sector employees and elected representatives) to work with innovation and green transition in the public sector and through this support the implementation of the 2030 Agenda for sustainable development. In the long term, the Si Public Sector innovation Program shall contribute to the public sector in partner countries conducting activities that lead to an egalitarian, equal, sustainable and/or inclusive society in order to achieve the global goals. To contribute to this, the programs must strengthen the participants' knowledge of working methods, methods and change work to run an activity that leads to an equal, equal, inclusive and/or sustainable society, but also strengthen their confidence in their own ability to drive change work within the own organization. This is done by partly promoting innovation and renewal in the public sector, partly contributing to a green transition and thus contributing to the implementation of Agenda 2030. After completing the program, the participants are expected to have increased knowledge in the relevant issues, an expanded network (both within and outside the participant group) and a strengthened capacity to drive change in and/or outside their own organization. The program is also expected to have an organizational effect. På lång sikt ska Si Public Sector innovation Programme bidra till att offentlig sektor i samarbetsländer bedriver en verksamhet som leder till ett jämlikt, jämställt, hållbart och/eller inkluderande samhälle för att uppnå de globala målen. För att bidra till detta ska programmen stärka deltagarnas kunskap om arbetssätt, metoder och förändringsarbete för att driva en verksamhet som leder till ett jämlikt, jämställt, inkluderande och/eller hållbart samhälle, men också stärka deras tilltro till sin egen förmåga att driva förändringsarbete inom den egna organisationen. Detta görs genom att dels främja innovation och förnyelse i offentlig sektor, dels bidra till grön omställning och på så sätt bidra till implementeringen av Agenda 2030. Efter avslutat program förväntas deltagarna ha ett ökad kunskap inom de berörda frågorna, ett utökat nätverk (både inom och utanför deltagargruppen) samt en stärkt kapacitet att driva förändring i och/eller utanför den egna organisationen. Programmet förväntas också ges en organisatorisk effekt.

Syftet med programmet är att stärka offentlig sektor i de medverkande partnerländerna genom att främja innovation och förnyelse i offentlig sektor, och på så sätt bidra till implementeringen av Agenda 2030. Long-term: Strengthened capacity of professionals (public sector employees and elected representatives) to work with innovation and green transition in the public sector and through this support the implementation of the 2030 Agenda for sustainable development. In the long term, the Si Public Sector innovation Program shall contribute to the public sector in partner countries conducting activities that lead to an egalitarian, equal, sustainable and/or inclusive society in order to achieve the global goals. To contribute to this, the programs must strengthen the participants' knowledge of working methods, methods and change work to run an activity that leads to an equal, equal, inclusive and/or sustainable society, but also strengthen their confidence in their own ability to drive change work within the own organization. This is done by partly promoting innovation and renewal in the public sector, partly contributing to a green transition and thus contributing to the implementation of Agenda 2030. After completing the program, the participants are expected to have increased knowledge in the relevant issues, an expanded network (both within and outside the participant group) and a strengthened capacity to drive change in and/or outside their own organization. The program is also expected to have an organizational effect. På lång sikt ska Si Public Sector innovation Programme bidra till att offentlig sektor i samarbetsländer bedriver en verksamhet som leder till ett jämlikt, jämställt, hållbart och/eller inkluderande samhälle för att uppnå de globala målen. För att bidra till detta ska programmen stärka deltagarnas kunskap om arbetssätt, metoder och förändringsarbete för att driva en verksamhet som leder till ett jämlikt, jämställt, inkluderande och/eller hållbart samhälle, men också stärka deras tilltro till sin egen förmåga att driva förändringsarbete inom den egna organisationen. Detta görs genom att dels främja innovation och förnyelse i offentlig sektor, dels bidra till grön omställning och på så sätt bidra till implementeringen av Agenda 2030. Efter avslutat program förväntas deltagarna ha ett ökad kunskap inom de berörda frågorna, ett utökat nätverk (både inom och utanför deltagargruppen) samt en stärkt kapacitet att driva förändring i och/eller utanför den egna organisationen. Programmet förväntas också ges en organisatorisk effekt.

After completing the program, the participants are expected to have increased knowledge in the relevant issues, an expanded network (both within and outside the participant group) and a strengthened capacity to drive change in and/or outside their own organization. The program is also expected to have an organizational effect. På lång sikt ska Si Public Sector innovation Programme bidra till att offentlig sektor i samarbetsländer bedriver en verksamhet som leder till ett jämlikt, jämställt, hållbart och/eller inkluderande samhälle för att uppnå de globala målen. För att bidra till detta ska programmen stärka deltagarnas kunskap om arbetssätt, metoder och förändringsarbete för att driva en verksamhet som leder till ett jämlikt, jämställt, inkluderande och/eller hållbart samhälle, men också stärka deras tilltro till sin egen förmåga att driva förändringsarbete inom den egna organisationen. Detta görs genom att dels främja innovation och förnyelse i offentlig sektor, dels bidra till grön omställning och på så sätt bidra till implementeringen av Agenda 2030. Efter avslutat program förväntas deltagarna ha ett ökad kunskap inom de berörda frågorna, ett utökat nätverk (både inom och utanför deltagargruppen) samt en stärkt kapacitet att driva förändring i och/eller utanför den egna organisationen.

To contribute to this, the programs must strengthen the participants' knowledge of working methods, methods and change work to run an activity that leads to an equal, equal, inclusive and/or sustainable society, but also strengthen their confidence in their own ability to drive change work within the own organization. This is done by partly promoting innovation and renewal in the public sector, partly contributing to a green transition and thus contributing to the implementation of Agenda 2030. After completing the program, the participants are expected to have increased knowledge in the relevant issues, an expanded network (both within and outside the participant group) and a strengthened capacity to drive change in and/or outside their own organization.

Gender Equality Participatory Development/Good Governance 90000 Donor country-based NGO 90000 Donor country-based NGO SE-0-SE-24-2023-10344 Sweden Glada Hudik theatre involves schools and organizations with material that partly have Georgian content in the form of newly produced films, photos and interviews. People with intellectual disabilities will visit schools and tell about their lives after they have been trained in presentations techniques by Glada Hudik theatre. It will be an admirable achievement, as people with intellectual disabilities often live in exclusion and are not used to be in the center of attention. Barn föds inte med fördomar är ett projekt som Glada Hudik-teatern driver om mänskliga rättigheter, utanförskap och olikheter. Tanken med projektet är att bidra till ett öppet, demokratiskt och inkluderande samhälle där varje människa har rätt till ett värdigt liv, där människor med intellektuella funktionshinder är synliga och accepterade. Vi vill sprida kunskap och värderingar för lika deltagande i samhället för personer med funktionsnedsättning, för att främja ett demokratiskt samhälle där rättigheter enlighet med FN:s konvention om mänskliga rättigheter. Beslutsfattare, icke-statliga organisationer, massmedia, lärare, socialarbetare, föräldrar och barn blir de viktigaste målgrupperna. Barn föds inte med fördomar vänder sig till skolelever och vuxna. Budskapet är att integration inte handlar om att alla ska bli lika. Det handlar om att lära sig att acceptera och uppskatta att vi är olika. Barn föds inte med fördomar. Projektets syfte är att öka skolelevers tolerans för olikheter och deras förståelse för och kunskap om personer med utvecklingsstörning och andra grupper i samhället som ses som avvikande och riskerar utanförskap. Ett andra syfte är också att vid sidan om skolarbetet arbeta med opinionsbildningen och öka medvetenheten och sprida kunskap om personer med intellektuell funktionsnedsättning generellt i olika samhällskretsar, genom att anordna lokala aktiviteter, arrangemang, utställningar,uppmärksamma och främja frågor om inkluderande utbildning och integrering av ovan nämnda gruppen i samhället.

People with intellectual disabilities will visit schools and tell about their lives after they have been trained in presentations techniques by Glada Hudik theatre. It will be an admirable achievement, as people with intellectual disabilities often live in exclusion and are not used to be in the center of attention. Barn föds inte med fördomar är ett projekt som Glada Hudik-teatern driver om mänskliga rättigheter, utanförskap och olikheter. Tanken med projektet är att bidra till ett öppet, demokratiskt och inkluderande samhälle där varje människa har rätt till ett värdigt liv, där människor med intellektuella funktionshinder är synliga och accepterade. Vi vill sprida kunskap och värderingar för lika deltagande i samhället för personer med funktionsnedsättning, för att främja ett demokratiskt samhälle där rättigheter enlighet med FN:s konvention om mänskliga rättigheter. Beslutsfattare, icke-statliga organisationer, massmedia, lärare, socialarbetare, föräldrar och barn blir de viktigaste målgrupperna. Barn föds inte med fördomar vänder sig till skolelever och vuxna. Budskapet är att integration inte handlar om att alla ska bli lika. Det handlar om att lära sig att acceptera och uppskatta att vi är olika. Barn föds inte med fördomar. Projektets syfte är att öka skolelevers tolerans för olikheter och deras förståelse för och kunskap om personer med utvecklingsstörning och andra grupper i samhället som ses som avvikande och riskerar utanförskap. Ett andra syfte är också att vid sidan om skolarbetet arbeta med opinionsbildningen och öka medvetenheten och sprida kunskap om personer med intellektuell funktionsnedsättning generellt i olika samhällskretsar, genom att anordna lokala aktiviteter, arrangemang, utställningar,uppmärksamma och främja frågor om inkluderande utbildning och integrering av ovan nämnda gruppen i samhället.

The programme also seeks to foster cross‑sector collaboration between the public sector, business, academia and civil society, thereby enhancing knowledge‑sharing to support capacity development and effective partnerships in line with. The programme is implemented annually by the Swedish Institute, with support from procured programme consultants, and in cooperation with Swedish organizations and companies with expertise and experience in areas linked to the promotion of entrepreneurship and innovation. In 2025, the programme was based on the theme “Enabling Climate Tech Entrepreneurship”, offering activities targeted at key actors working within local entrepreneurship and innovation ecosystems with a particular interest in this thematic area. The purpose of the programme was to equip participants with knowledge, inspiration and a global network to help them develop their organizations and local ecosystems to better support the foundation, growth and impact of entrepreneurship focused on new solutions that prevent or mitigate climate‑related challenges. Participants were recruited through an open call that received approximately 1,200 applications. After a screening process, a final selection of 64 participants from the programme countries was made. Participation was funded through the following financing strategies: the Strategy for Innovation, Partnership and Capacity Development 2024–2028 and the Strategy for Sweden’s Regional Development Cooperation with the Middle East and North Africa 2024–2027. Countries included and funded through Swedish development cooperation funding: Kenya, Nigeria, Rwanda, Uganda, South Africa, Zambia, Bangladesh, India, Indonesia, Philippines, Thailand, Vietnam, Türkiye, Morocco, Egypt (in addition 10 more countries are participating funded by non ODA funds such as Eastern Partnership countries and the Baltic States) Ledarskapsprogrammet Impact Pioneers har som mål att stärka grogrund, tillväxt och genomslag för entreprenörskap och innovation, och därigenom bidra till arbetstillfällen och nya lösningar som främjar hållbar ekonomisk tillväxt. Programmet genomförs årsvis av Svenska Institutet med stöd av upphandlade programkonsulter, samt i samverkan med svenska organisationer och företag med expertis och erfarenhet inom tematiker knutna till främjande av entreprenörskap och innovation. 2025 utgick programmet från temat ”Enabling Climate Tech Entrepreneurship” med ett erbjudande som riktade sig till nyckelpersoner verksamma inom lokala ekosystem för entreprenörskap och innovation och med särskilt intresse för just detta tema. Genom programmet var målet att erbjuda deltagarna kunskap, inspiration och ett globalt nätverk som hjälper dem att utveckla sina organisationer och lokala ekosystem att bättre stödja grogrund, tillväxt och genomslag för entreprenörskap med inriktning på nya lösningar som förebygger eller mitigerar klimatrelaterade utmaningar. Deltagarna rekryterades genom en öppen utlysning med ca 1200 sökanden. Efter en screeningprocess gjordes ett slutligt urval av 64 deltagare från programländerna. Deltagande finansierades på två olika biståndsstrategier: Strategi för Innovation, Partnerskap och Kapacitetsutveckling 2024-2028 och Strategi för Sveriges regionala utvecklingssamarbete med Mellanöstern och Nordafrika 2024-2027. Programländer : Kenya, Nigeria, Rwanda, Uganda, South Africa, Zambia,Turkiet, Marocko, Egypten, Bangladesh, Indien, Indonesien, Filippinerna, Thailand, Vietnam (Ytterligare 10 länder deltar i programmet men finansieras inte av biståndsmedel bl.a. från EU:s östra partnerskap och länder i Östersjöregionen) Entrepreneurship and innovation are central to promoting jobs and new solutions that drive sustainable economic growth. Strengthened foundation, growth and impact of entrepreneurship and innovation therefore influence a country’s competitiveness and productivity. Impact Pioneers is implemented through strategies that all emphasize goals related to economic development, education, trade and green transition. The 2025 programme targeted innovation and entrepreneurship enablers who can strengthen foundation, growth and impact within climate tech. The programme is designed to improve the conditions for enablers and key actors in local entrepreneurship and innovation ecosystems to succeed in their efforts to strengthen the foundation, growth and impact of new enterprises and solutions, which in turn contribute to job creation, trade and green transition. Through training, capacity‑building activities and a global network, the programme also creates conditions for local and global partnerships that help participants scale their impact and increase their positive societal contribution. Entreprenörskap och innovation är centralt för att främja arbetstillfällen och nya lösningar som driver hållbar ekonomisk tillväxt. Stärkt grogrund, tillväxt och genomslag för entreprenörskap och innovation påverkar således ett lands konkurrenskraft och produktivitet. Impact Pioneers genomförs inom tre olika svenska strategier varav två biståndsstrategier som alla betonar mål relaterade till ekonomisk utveckling, utbildning, handel och grön omställning i världen. Programmet 2025 riktade sig särskilt till främjare av entreprenörskap och innovation som kan bidra till att stärka grogrund, tillväxt och genomslag inom ’Climate tech’. Programmet är utformat för att stärka förutsättningarna för främjare och nyckelpersoner inom lokala ekosystem för entreprenörskap och innovation når framgång i sitt arbete med att stärka grogrund, tillväxt och genomslag för nya företag och lösningar, som i sin tur bidrar till jobbskapande, handel och grön omställning. Genom utbildning, kapacitetsstärkande aktiviteter och ett globalt nätverk skapas vidare förutsättningar för lokala och globala partnerskap, vilket i sin tur hjälper deltagarna att skala upp sitt genomslag och öka sin positiva samhällspåverkan.

The programme also seeks to foster cross‑sector collaboration between the public sector, business, academia and civil society, thereby enhancing knowledge‑sharing to support capacity development and effective partnerships in line with. The programme is implemented annually by the Swedish Institute, with support from procured programme consultants, and in cooperation with Swedish organizations and companies with expertise and experience in areas linked to the promotion of entrepreneurship and innovation. In 2025, the programme was based on the theme “Enabling Climate Tech Entrepreneurship”, offering activities targeted at key actors working within local entrepreneurship and innovation ecosystems with a particular interest in this thematic area. The purpose of the programme was to equip participants with knowledge, inspiration and a global network to help them develop their organizations and local ecosystems to better support the foundation, growth and impact of entrepreneurship focused on new solutions that prevent or mitigate climate‑related challenges. Participants were recruited through an open call that received approximately 1,200 applications. After a screening process, a final selection of 64 participants from the programme countries was made. Participation was funded through the following financing strategies: the Strategy for Innovation, Partnership and Capacity Development 2024–2028 and the Strategy for Sweden’s Regional Development Cooperation with the Middle East and North Africa 2024–2027. Countries included and funded through Swedish development cooperation funding: Kenya, Nigeria, Rwanda, Uganda, South Africa, Zambia, Bangladesh, India, Indonesia, Philippines, Thailand, Vietnam, Türkiye, Morocco, Egypt (in addition 10 more countries are participating funded by non ODA funds such as Eastern Partnership countries and the Baltic States) Ledarskapsprogrammet Impact Pioneers har som mål att stärka grogrund, tillväxt och genomslag för entreprenörskap och innovation, och därigenom bidra till arbetstillfällen och nya lösningar som främjar hållbar ekonomisk tillväxt. Programmet genomförs årsvis av Svenska Institutet med stöd av upphandlade programkonsulter, samt i samverkan med svenska organisationer och företag med expertis och erfarenhet inom tematiker knutna till främjande av entreprenörskap och innovation. 2025 utgick programmet från temat ”Enabling Climate Tech Entrepreneurship” med ett erbjudande som riktade sig till nyckelpersoner verksamma inom lokala ekosystem för entreprenörskap och innovation och med särskilt intresse för just detta tema. Genom programmet var målet att erbjuda deltagarna kunskap, inspiration och ett globalt nätverk som hjälper dem att utveckla sina organisationer och lokala ekosystem att bättre stödja grogrund, tillväxt och genomslag för entreprenörskap med inriktning på nya lösningar som förebygger eller mitigerar klimatrelaterade utmaningar. Deltagarna rekryterades genom en öppen utlysning med ca 1200 sökanden. Efter en screeningprocess gjordes ett slutligt urval av 64 deltagare från programländerna. Deltagande finansierades på två olika biståndsstrategier: Strategi för Innovation, Partnerskap och Kapacitetsutveckling 2024-2028 och Strategi för Sveriges regionala utvecklingssamarbete med Mellanöstern och Nordafrika 2024-2027.

Strengthened foundation, growth and impact of entrepreneurship and innovation therefore influence a country’s competitiveness and productivity. Impact Pioneers is implemented through strategies that all emphasize goals related to economic development, education, trade and green transition. The 2025 programme targeted innovation and entrepreneurship enablers who can strengthen foundation, growth and impact within climate tech. The programme is designed to improve the conditions for enablers and key actors in local entrepreneurship and innovation ecosystems to succeed in their efforts to strengthen the foundation, growth and impact of new enterprises and solutions, which in turn contribute to job creation, trade and green transition. Through training, capacity‑building activities and a global network, the programme also creates conditions for local and global partnerships that help participants scale their impact and increase their positive societal contribution. Entreprenörskap och innovation är centralt för att främja arbetstillfällen och nya lösningar som driver hållbar ekonomisk tillväxt. Stärkt grogrund, tillväxt och genomslag för entreprenörskap och innovation påverkar således ett lands konkurrenskraft och produktivitet. Impact Pioneers genomförs inom tre olika svenska strategier varav två biståndsstrategier som alla betonar mål relaterade till ekonomisk utveckling, utbildning, handel och grön omställning i världen.

Resultaten pekar också på goda förutsättningar för fortsatt samverkan. De flesta deltagare förväntar sig partnerskap med andra deltagares organisationer (96,4 %) och med svenska aktörer (96,4 %). Många förutser även samarbete kring innovation och teknik (92,9 %) och ser potential för nya finansieringsmöjligheter (82,1 %). Sammantaget visar programmet tydliga omedelbara värden och starka utsikter för långsiktig påverkan. I den avslutande enkäten fick deltagarna ange om programmet lett till några direkta resultat. Även om det ännu är för tidigt att förvänta sig mer långtgående förändringar, gav många konkreta exempel, bland annat från deltagare i Uganda: “Our participation directly spurred action: we are now drafting a Memorandum of Understanding with the Kenya Climate Innovation Centre to create a formal partnership for establishing a climate accelerator in Uganda. This collaboration was directly inspired by the ecosystem models presented during Sweden Week.” The 2024 pilot's short-term goal was to strengthen knowledge and networks among the participants and thereby increase capacity to drive change in accordance with the program's overall goal: to strengthen the nurture, growth and impact of 'impact entrepreneurship'. Results were followed up through a final questionnaire with a total response rate of 84.1% (53/63 responses). 1. Percentage of participants who state that they gained increased knowledge through programme participation: 94.4% 2. Share of participants who state that the programme further inspired them to drive change and sustainable development: 98.1% 3. Share of participants who state that they received a value-creating network with other program participants: 100% 4. Share of participants who state that they received a value-creating network with Swedish organizations: 90.4% 5. Share of participants who identify partnership opportunities for continued cooperation with Swedish companies and organizations after the program: 92.5% Survey results from the 2025 Impact Pioneers leadership programme confirm that the short‑term goals of strengthening participants’ knowledge, inspiration and networks were achieved. Among the 32 participants funded through the Strategy for Innovation, Partnership and Capacity Development (88% response rate), all respondents report increased knowledge and inspiration, with most strongly agreeing. Networking emerged as the programme’s strongest outcome. All respondents believe that the network built with fellow participants will benefit their work, and a large majority (85.7%) strongly agree. Connections with Swedish organisations are also valued: 92.9% expect these networks to support their future work. Looking ahead, the results indicate strong potential for continued collaboration. Most participants anticipate partnerships with other participants’ organisations (96.4%) and with Swedish actors (96.4%). Many also expect cooperation in innovation and technology (92.9%) and see potential for new funding opportunities (82.1%). Overall, the programme shows clear immediate value and strong prospects for long‑term impact. In the final survey, participants were asked whether the programme had led to any immediate results. Although it is still too early to expect more far‑reaching changes, many provided concrete examples, including the following accounts from participants from Uganda: “Our participation directly spurred action: we are now drafting a Memorandum of Understanding with the Kenya Climate Innovation Centre to create a formal partnership for establishing a climate accelerator in Uganda.

The aim is to build leadership skills, strategic advocacy, and networks that promote democracy, human rights, and freedom of expression – while fostering long‑term relationships with Swedish civil society. The programme was delivered in a hybrid format, including a physical week in Sweden. This year, 108 participants were admitted from Eastern Europe, the Western Balkans, and Türkiye. A total of 98% completed the programme, and the majority hold managerial positions. A broad spring offering was combined with a more in‑depth “Impact Lab” in the autumn, where 36 participants implemented change projects that generated clear and measurable results. Regional knowledge exchange, particularly on EU integration, provided unexpectedly strong added value. The results show tangible impact: participants have initiated projects exposing corruption, developed leadership training, and launched mentorship programmes for law students. Long‑term follow‑up indicates that 95% continue to use the tools and 87% report strengthened organisational capacity to drive change. Actual results 2024: SI Leader Lab Eastern Europe/MENA: Senior participants: 97% hold a management position. High attendance: 100 out of 106 participants received a diploma (94%). The results from the evaluation are good: 81% (knowledge) and 76% (tools). Relatively good in terms of organizational anchoring: 74%. Through the program, 182 workshops were conducted, and 1607 people were reached through these. Network meeting with 130 participants including representatives from Swedish civil society. Faktiska resultat 2025: SI Leader Lab svarar mot behovet av att stärka civilsamhällesledare i komplexa kontexter med ökande repression och med begränsade möjligheter till samverkan och kapacitetsutveckling. Målet är att utveckla ledarskap, strategiskt påverkansarbete och nätverk för att främja demokrati, mänskliga rättigheter och yttrandefrihet – samt att bygga långsiktiga relationer med det svenska civilsamhället. Programmet genomfördes i hybridformat med en fysisk vecka i Sverige. Till årets program antogs 108 deltagare från Östeuropa, västra Balkan och Turkiet. 98 % slutförde programmet och majoriteten innehar en chefsposition. Ett bredare erbjudande på våren kombinerades med ett fördjupat ”Impact Lab” på hösten, där 36 deltagare drev förändringsprojekt som gav tydliga och mätbara resultat. Regionalt erfarenhetsutbyte, särskilt kring EU‑integration, gav oväntat stort mervärde. Resultaten visar tydliga effekter: deltagare har initierat projekt som avslöjar korruption, utvecklat ledarskapsutbildningar och lanserat mentorskapsprogram för juridikstudenter. Långtidsuppföljning visar att 95 % fortsatt använder verktygen och 87 % uppger att organisationen stärkts i sin kapacitet att driva förändring Faktiska resultat 2024: SI Leader Lab Östeuropa/MENA (resultat i hela gruppen): Seniora deltagare: 97 % har en chefsposition Hög närvaro: 100 av 106 deltagare fick diplom (94 %) Resultaten från utvärderingen är goda: 81 % (kunskap) och 76% (verktyg).

This is grounded in the programme’s aim to invest in actors who hold influence and a mandate for change within their respective societies. The programme reinforces the role of civil society actors as change leaders. Through training and network‑building, participants gain tools to influence policy, mobilise public opinion, and implement strategic initiatives. Change occurs both at the individual level (knowledge and tools) and the organisational level (implementation and institutional anchoring). Immediate expected results include increased knowledge in leadership, team development and advocacy; new and improved tools for driving change in line with the programme objectives; and organisational anchoring of results through the implementation of change projects. These outcomes are achieved through capacity‑building training, individual coaching, peer learning and networking, as well as practical application in the form of change projects within the participants’ own organisations.

För mer information se SI:s hemsida: https://si.se/sv/apply/leadership-programmes/leaderlab/ Expected results 2025: Through SI Leader Lab, participants are expected to strengthen their capacity to lead and manage more effective and sustainable development efforts that promote democracy, human rights, and freedom of expression. This is grounded in the programme’s aim to invest in actors who hold influence and a mandate for change within their respective societies. The programme reinforces the role of civil society actors as change leaders. Through training and network‑building, participants gain tools to influence policy, mobilise public opinion, and implement strategic initiatives. Change occurs both at the individual level (knowledge and tools) and the organisational level (implementation and institutional anchoring). Immediate expected results include increased knowledge in leadership, team development and advocacy; new and improved tools for driving change in line with the programme objectives; and organisational anchoring of results through the implementation of change projects. These outcomes are achieved through capacity‑building training, individual coaching, peer learning and networking, as well as practical application in the form of change projects within the participants’ own organisations. Expected results 2024: Strengthened capacity of influential civil society leaders and their organisations to drive successful advocacy work linked to Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 16: promoting just, peaceful and inclusive societies. Immediate expected results: 1. Increased knowledge as a reult of the programme. 2. New/improved tools to drive change in accordance with Programme objective 3. 3.

The aim is to build leadership skills, strategic advocacy, and networks that promote democracy, human rights, and freedom of expression – while fostering long‑term relationships with Swedish civil society. The programme was delivered in a hybrid format, including a physical week in Sweden. This year, 108 participants were admitted from Eastern Europe, the Western Balkans, and Türkiye. A total of 98% completed the programme, and the majority hold managerial positions. A broad spring offering was combined with a more in‑depth “Impact Lab” in the autumn, where 36 participants implemented change projects that generated clear and measurable results. Regional knowledge exchange, particularly on EU integration, provided unexpectedly strong added value. The results show tangible impact: participants have initiated projects exposing corruption, developed leadership training, and launched mentorship programmes for law students. Long‑term follow‑up indicates that 95% continue to use the tools and 87% report strengthened organisational capacity to drive change. Actual results 2024: SI Leader Lab Eastern Europe/MENA: Senior participants: 97% hold a management position. High attendance: 100 out of 106 participants received a diploma (94%). The results from the evaluation are good: 81% (knowledge) and 76% (tools). Relatively good in terms of organizational anchoring: 74%. Through the program, 182 workshops were conducted, and 1607 people were reached through these. Network meeting with 130 participants including representatives from Swedish civil society. Faktiska resultat 2025: SI Leader Lab svarar mot behovet av att stärka civilsamhällesledare i komplexa kontexter med ökande repression och med begränsade möjligheter till samverkan och kapacitetsutveckling. Målet är att utveckla ledarskap, strategiskt påverkansarbete och nätverk för att främja demokrati, mänskliga rättigheter och yttrandefrihet – samt att bygga långsiktiga relationer med det svenska civilsamhället. Programmet genomfördes i hybridformat med en fysisk vecka i Sverige. Till årets program antogs 108 deltagare från Östeuropa, västra Balkan och Turkiet. 98 % slutförde programmet och majoriteten innehar en chefsposition. Ett bredare erbjudande på våren kombinerades med ett fördjupat ”Impact Lab” på hösten, där 36 deltagare drev förändringsprojekt som gav tydliga och mätbara resultat. Regionalt erfarenhetsutbyte, särskilt kring EU‑integration, gav oväntat stort mervärde. Resultaten visar tydliga effekter: deltagare har initierat projekt som avslöjar korruption, utvecklat ledarskapsutbildningar och lanserat mentorskapsprogram för juridikstudenter. Långtidsuppföljning visar att 95 % fortsatt använder verktygen och 87 % uppger att organisationen stärkts i sin kapacitet att driva förändring Faktiska resultat 2024: SI Leader Lab Östeuropa/MENA (resultat i hela gruppen): Seniora deltagare: 97 % har en chefsposition Hög närvaro: 100 av 106 deltagare fick diplom (94 %) Resultaten från utvärderingen är goda: 81 % (kunskap) och 76% (verktyg).

The aim is to build leadership skills, strategic advocacy, and networks that promote democracy, human rights, and freedom of expression – while fostering long‑term relationships with Swedish civil society. The programme was delivered in a hybrid format, including a physical week in Sweden. This year, 108 participants were admitted from Eastern Europe, the Western Balkans, and Türkiye. A total of 98% completed the programme, and the majority hold managerial positions. A broad spring offering was combined with a more in‑depth “Impact Lab” in the autumn, where 36 participants implemented change projects that generated clear and measurable results. Regional knowledge exchange, particularly on EU integration, provided unexpectedly strong added value. The results show tangible impact: participants have initiated projects exposing corruption, developed leadership training, and launched mentorship programmes for law students. Long‑term follow‑up indicates that 95% continue to use the tools and 87% report strengthened organisational capacity to drive change.

Förväntade resultat 2025: Genom SI Leader Lab förväntas deltagarna ha stärkt sin kapacitet att driva och förvalta ett mer effektivt och hållbart utvecklingsarbete som bidrar till demokrati, mänskliga rättigheter och yttrandefrihet. Detta motiveras av programmets syfte att investera i aktörer med inflytande och förändringsmandat i sina respektive samhällen. Programmet stärker civilsamhällets aktörer i deras roll som förändringsledare. Genom utbildning och nätverksbyggande får deltagarna verktyg att påverka policy, mobilisera opinion och genomföra strategiska initiativ.

Actual results 2025: SI Leader Lab addresses the need to strengthen civil society leaders operating in complex contexts marked by increasing repression and limited opportunities for collaboration and capacity development. The aim is to build leadership skills, strategic advocacy, and networks that promote democracy, human rights, and freedom of expression – while fostering long‑term relationships with Swedish civil society. The programme was delivered in a hybrid format, including a physical week in Sweden. This year, 108 participants were admitted from Eastern Europe, the Western Balkans, and Türkiye. A total of 98% completed the programme, and the majority hold managerial positions. A broad spring offering was combined with a more in‑depth “Impact Lab” in the autumn, where 36 participants implemented change projects that generated clear and measurable results. Regional knowledge exchange, particularly on EU integration, provided unexpectedly strong added value. The results show tangible impact: participants have initiated projects exposing corruption, developed leadership training, and launched mentorship programmes for law students. Long‑term follow‑up indicates that 95% continue to use the tools and 87% report strengthened organisational capacity to drive change.

NFGP goda resultat och resultaten visar att vi når målgruppen med våra aktiviteter. Efter tre år hade 42% återvänt till arbetsmarknaden i sitt hemland och 75% anser att de haft användning av de verktyg de fick under sin stipendieperiod efter tre år. Detta visar att NFGP bidrar till stipendiaternas kompetensutveckling och att de får stärkt kapacitet genom aktiviteterna som är användbar efter studierna. Resultat 2025: På kort sikt visar NFGP mycket goda resultat: 95% av deltagarna upplever att de fått ny kunskap och 93% nya verktyg efter aktiviteterna, vilket indikerar stärkt individuell kapacitet direkt efter insatsen. På lång sikt är effekterna fortsatt tydliga. 88% av stipendiaterna anser att verktygen är användbara efter studierna, och 79% rapporterar faktisk nytta både ett och tre år senare, vilket visar på bestående kompetensutveckling.

NFGP has good results, and the results indicate that we reach the target group with our activities. After three years, 42% had returned to the labour market in their home country and 75% believe that they have used the tools they received during their scholarship period after three years. This shows that NFGP contributes to the competence development of the scholarship holders and that they gain strengthened capacity through the activities that are useful after their studies. Results 2025: In the short term, NFGP shows very strong results: 95% of participants report gaining new knowledge and 92% new tools after the activities, indicating strengthened individual capacity immediately following the intervention. In the long term, the effects remain clear. 88% of scholars consider the tools useful after completing their studies, and 79% report actual benefits both one and three years later, demonstrating lasting competence development. Return to the home country is lower: 33% after one year and 38% after three years, but the increase over time suggests that the effect on return is delayed. Despite slightly lower figures in 2025 compared to previous years, NFGP contributes to long-term capacity building and some impact on return rates.

Efter tre år hade 42% återvänt till arbetsmarknaden i sitt hemland och 75% anser att de haft användning av de verktyg de fick under sin stipendieperiod efter tre år. Detta visar att NFGP bidrar till stipendiaternas kompetensutveckling och att de får stärkt kapacitet genom aktiviteterna som är användbar efter studierna. Resultat 2025: På kort sikt visar NFGP mycket goda resultat: 95% av deltagarna upplever att de fått ny kunskap och 93% nya verktyg efter aktiviteterna, vilket indikerar stärkt individuell kapacitet direkt efter insatsen. På lång sikt är effekterna fortsatt tydliga. 88% av stipendiaterna anser att verktygen är användbara efter studierna, och 79% rapporterar faktisk nytta både ett och tre år senare, vilket visar på bestående kompetensutveckling.

Programmet utgör ett mervärde inom SI:s stipendieerbjudande genom att erbjuda aktiviteter med fokus på karriärplanering och karriärutveckling för individer från OECD/DAC länder som får stipendier för masterstudier i Sverige. Dessa aktiviteter fungerar som verktyg för att stärka stipendiaternas kompetens och kapacitet, och kompletterar den teoretiska kunskap som erhålls inom respektive mastersprogram. NFGP stärker stipendiaternas kapacitet att återvända till arbetsmarknaden i sina hemländer genom att erbjuda aktiviteter med fokus på karriärplanering och karriärutveckling. The expected long-term outcome is that the scholarship holders have gained increased competence and motivation to contribute to sustainable development in their home countries. Through, among other things, self-leadership training and online sessions, the scholars are provided with useful tools from a neuroscience perspective. The activities are intended to contribute in the long term to increasing access to qualified and gender-equal skills supply, by ensuring that the scholars return to the labour market in their home countries (OECD/DAC). NFGP aims to strengthen the scholars’ ability to drive their own career development in their home country and to ensure that they perceive career opportunities and a future there. Det förväntande långsiktiga resultatet är att stipendiaterna har fått ökad kompetens och motivation att bidra till hållbar utveckling i sina hemländer. Genom bland annat självledarskapsutbildningar och online sessioner ges stipendiaterna användbara verktyg ur ett neurovetenskapligt perspektiv. Verksamheten ska långsiktigt bidra till att öka tillgången till kvalificerad och jämställd kompetensförsörjning, genom att stipendiaterna återvänder till arbetsmarknaden i sina hemländer (OECD/DAC). NFGP ska bidra till att stipendiaterna fått stärkt förmåga att driva sin egen karriärutveckling i hemlandet och att de upplever att det finns karriärmöjligheter och en framtid i hemlandet.

NFGP goda resultat och resultaten visar att vi når målgruppen med våra aktiviteter. Efter tre år hade 42% återvänt till arbetsmarknaden i sitt hemland och 75% anser att de haft användning av de verktyg de fick under sin stipendieperiod efter tre år. Detta visar att NFGP bidrar till stipendiaternas kompetensutveckling och att de får stärkt kapacitet genom aktiviteterna som är användbar efter studierna. Resultat 2025: På kort sikt visar NFGP mycket goda resultat: 95% av deltagarna upplever att de fått ny kunskap och 93% nya verktyg efter aktiviteterna, vilket indikerar stärkt individuell kapacitet direkt efter insatsen. På lång sikt är effekterna fortsatt tydliga. 88% av stipendiaterna anser att verktygen är användbara efter studierna, och 79% rapporterar faktisk nytta både ett och tre år senare, vilket visar på bestående kompetensutveckling. Återvändande till hemlandet är lägre: 33% efter ett år och 38% efter tre år, men ökningen över tid tyder på att effekten på återvändande är fördröjd. Trots något lägre siffror 2025 jämfört med föregående år, bidrar NFGP till långsiktig kapacitetsförstärkning och viss påverkan på återvändande. Results 2024: 96% believe they have gained new knowledge, 94% believe they have gained new tools and 89% believe they have gained new contacts after participating in NFGP activities. NFGP has good results, and the results indicate that we reach the target group with our activities. After three years, 42% had returned to the labour market in their home country and 75% believe that they have used the tools they received during their scholarship period after three years. This shows that NFGP contributes to the competence development of the scholarship holders and that they gain strengthened capacity through the activities that are useful after their studies. Results 2025: In the short term, NFGP shows very strong results: 95% of participants report gaining new knowledge and 92% new tools after the activities, indicating strengthened individual capacity immediately following the intervention. In the long term, the effects remain clear. 88% of scholars consider the tools useful after completing their studies, and 79% report actual benefits both one and three years later, demonstrating lasting competence development. Return to the home country is lower: 33% after one year and 38% after three years, but the increase over time suggests that the effect on return is delayed.

NFGP goda resultat och resultaten visar att vi når målgruppen med våra aktiviteter. Efter tre år hade 42% återvänt till arbetsmarknaden i sitt hemland och 75% anser att de haft användning av de verktyg de fick under sin stipendieperiod efter tre år. Detta visar att NFGP bidrar till stipendiaternas kompetensutveckling och att de får stärkt kapacitet genom aktiviteterna som är användbar efter studierna. Resultat 2025: På kort sikt visar NFGP mycket goda resultat: 95% av deltagarna upplever att de fått ny kunskap och 93% nya verktyg efter aktiviteterna, vilket indikerar stärkt individuell kapacitet direkt efter insatsen. På lång sikt är effekterna fortsatt tydliga. 88% av stipendiaterna anser att verktygen är användbara efter studierna, och 79% rapporterar faktisk nytta både ett och tre år senare, vilket visar på bestående kompetensutveckling.

Detta visar att NFGP bidrar till stipendiaternas kompetensutveckling och att de får stärkt kapacitet genom aktiviteterna som är användbar efter studierna. Resultat 2025: På kort sikt visar NFGP mycket goda resultat: 95% av deltagarna upplever att de fått ny kunskap och 93% nya verktyg efter aktiviteterna, vilket indikerar stärkt individuell kapacitet direkt efter insatsen. På lång sikt är effekterna fortsatt tydliga. 88% av stipendiaterna anser att verktygen är användbara efter studierna, och 79% rapporterar faktisk nytta både ett och tre år senare, vilket visar på bestående kompetensutveckling. Återvändande till hemlandet är lägre: 33% efter ett år och 38% efter tre år, men ökningen över tid tyder på att effekten på återvändande är fördröjd. Trots något lägre siffror 2025 jämfört med föregående år, bidrar NFGP till långsiktig kapacitetsförstärkning och viss påverkan på återvändande.

Programmet utgör ett mervärde inom SI:s stipendieerbjudande genom att erbjuda aktiviteter med fokus på karriärplanering och karriärutveckling för individer från OECD/DAC länder som får stipendier för masterstudier i Sverige. Dessa aktiviteter fungerar som verktyg för att stärka stipendiaternas kompetens och kapacitet, och kompletterar den teoretiska kunskap som erhålls inom respektive mastersprogram. NFGP stärker stipendiaternas kapacitet att återvända till arbetsmarknaden i sina hemländer genom att erbjuda aktiviteter med fokus på karriärplanering och karriärutveckling. The expected long-term outcome is that the scholarship holders have gained increased competence and motivation to contribute to sustainable development in their home countries. Through, among other things, self-leadership training and online sessions, the scholars are provided with useful tools from a neuroscience perspective. The activities are intended to contribute in the long term to increasing access to qualified and gender-equal skills supply, by ensuring that the scholars return to the labour market in their home countries (OECD/DAC). NFGP aims to strengthen the scholars’ ability to drive their own career development in their home country and to ensure that they perceive career opportunities and a future there. Det förväntande långsiktiga resultatet är att stipendiaterna har fått ökad kompetens och motivation att bidra till hållbar utveckling i sina hemländer. Genom bland annat självledarskapsutbildningar och online sessioner ges stipendiaterna användbara verktyg ur ett neurovetenskapligt perspektiv. Verksamheten ska långsiktigt bidra till att öka tillgången till kvalificerad och jämställd kompetensförsörjning, genom att stipendiaterna återvänder till arbetsmarknaden i sina hemländer (OECD/DAC). NFGP ska bidra till att stipendiaterna fått stärkt förmåga att driva sin egen karriärutveckling i hemlandet och att de upplever att det finns karriärmöjligheter och en framtid i hemlandet.

Sweden Swedish Institute Swedish Institute +46 8 453 78 00 si@si.se www.si.se Slottsbacken 10, Box 7434. 103 91 Stockholm Zimbabwe Employment creation Other Social Infrastructure & Services Results 2024: 96% believe they have gained new knowledge, 94% believe they have gained new tools and 89% believe they have gained new contacts after participating in NFGP activities. NFGP has good results, and the results indicate that we reach the target group with our activities. After three years, 42% had returned to the labour market in their home country and 75% believe that they have used the tools they received during their scholarship period after three years. This shows that NFGP contributes to the competence development of the scholarship holders and that they gain strengthened capacity through the activities that are useful after their studies. Results 2025: In the short term, NFGP shows very strong results: 95% of participants report gaining new knowledge and 92% new tools after the activities, indicating strengthened individual capacity immediately following the intervention. In the long term, the effects remain clear. 88% of scholars consider the tools useful after completing their studies, and 79% report actual benefits both one and three years later, demonstrating lasting competence development. Return to the home country is lower: 33% after one year and 38% after three years, but the increase over time suggests that the effect on return is delayed. Despite slightly lower figures in 2025 compared to previous years, NFGP contributes to long-term capacity building and some impact on return rates. Resultat 2024: 96% anser sig ha fått ny kunskap, 94% anser sig ha fått nya verktyg och 89% anser sig ha fått nya kontakter efter deltagande på NFGP aktiviteter. NFGP goda resultat och resultaten visar att vi når målgruppen med våra aktiviteter. Efter tre år hade 42% återvänt till arbetsmarknaden i sitt hemland och 75% anser att de haft användning av de verktyg de fick under sin stipendieperiod efter tre år. Detta visar att NFGP bidrar till stipendiaternas kompetensutveckling och att de får stärkt kapacitet genom aktiviteterna som är användbar efter studierna. Resultat 2025: På kort sikt visar NFGP mycket goda resultat: 95% av deltagarna upplever att de fått ny kunskap och 93% nya verktyg efter aktiviteterna, vilket indikerar stärkt individuell kapacitet direkt efter insatsen. På lång sikt är effekterna fortsatt tydliga. 88% av stipendiaterna anser att verktygen är användbara efter studierna, och 79% rapporterar faktisk nytta både ett och tre år senare, vilket visar på bestående kompetensutveckling. Återvändande till hemlandet är lägre: 33% efter ett år och 38% efter tre år, men ökningen över tid tyder på att effekten på återvändande är fördröjd. Trots något lägre siffror 2025 jämfört med föregående år, bidrar NFGP till långsiktig kapacitetsförstärkning och viss påverkan på återvändande.

During the year, 14 projects submitted final reports. All of them stated that the project objectives had been met and that the target group had been strengthened in line with the program objectives. During 2025, 11 projects were financed within the framework of SI CPP. The projects shared the overarching objective of contributing to strengthened capacity and competence among civil society actors as well as public and private actors to promote innovative and effective methods for sustainable development.The projects were implemented in the areas of culture, independent media, and civil society. They contributed to strengthening and developing the participants’ and target groups’ knowledge, methods, and networks within their respective thematic areas and geographical contexts. Som examples of results: In the MENA region, a regional cultural project provided psychosocial support to more than 4,000 children and adults in marginalized areas. In Ethiopia, one project led local authorities to introduce new approaches for dialogue with and openness towards citizens, which is expected to contribute to increased social accountability within the authorities. In Zambia, civil society organisations, public officials, and media houses collaborated to improve media reporting on sexual and reproductive health and rights, resulting in the training of 222 individuals and reaching more than 10,000 people through radio broadcasts, podcasts, and social media. SI Creative Partnerships Programme kunde under 2024 bevilja 33 av 134 inkomna ansökningar, vilket motsvarar en beviljandegrad på drygt 24%. Under året slutrapporterade 14 projekt. Samtliga uppgav att projektmålen uppnåtts och att målgruppen stärkts i linje med programmålen. Under 2025 finansierades 11 projekt inom ramen för SI CPP. Projektens gemensamma, övergripande syfte var att bidra till stärkt kapacitet och kompetens hos civilsamhällesaktörer samt offentliga och privata aktörer att verka för innovativa och effektiva metoder för hållbar utveckling. Projekten genomfördes inom områdena kultur, oberoende medier och civilsamhälle. De bidrog till att stärka och utveckla deltagares och målgruppers kunskaper, metoder och nätverk inom sina respektive tematiska områden och geografier. Några resultatexempel: I MENA-regionen bidrog ett regionalt kulturprojekt till psykosocialt stöd för över 4000 barn och vuxna i marginaliserade områden. I Etiopien ledde ett projekt till att lokala myndigheter införde nya arbetssätt för dialog med och öppenhet gentemot medborgare, vilket förväntas bidra till myndigheternas ökade sociala ansvarstagande. I Zambia samverkade civilsamhällesorganisationer, tjänstepersoner och mediehus för att förbättra medierapporteringen om sexuell och reproduktiv hälsa och rättigheter, med resultatet att 222 personer utbildades och över 10 000 personer nåddes av inslag i radio, poddar och sociala medier.

During the year, 14 projects submitted final reports. All of them stated that the project objectives had been met and that the target group had been strengthened in line with the program objectives. During 2025, 11 projects were financed within the framework of SI CPP. The projects shared the overarching objective of contributing to strengthened capacity and competence among civil society actors as well as public and private actors to promote innovative and effective methods for sustainable development.The projects were implemented in the areas of culture, independent media, and civil society. They contributed to strengthening and developing the participants’ and target groups’ knowledge, methods, and networks within their respective thematic areas and geographical contexts. Som examples of results: In the MENA region, a regional cultural project provided psychosocial support to more than 4,000 children and adults in marginalized areas. In Ethiopia, one project led local authorities to introduce new approaches for dialogue with and openness towards citizens, which is expected to contribute to increased social accountability within the authorities. In Zambia, civil society organisations, public officials, and media houses collaborated to improve media reporting on sexual and reproductive health and rights, resulting in the training of 222 individuals and reaching more than 10,000 people through radio broadcasts, podcasts, and social media.

I Zambia samverkade civilsamhällesorganisationer, tjänstepersoner och mediehus för att förbättra medierapporteringen om sexuell och reproduktiv hälsa och rättigheter, med resultatet att 222 personer utbildades och över 10 000 personer nåddes av inslag i radio, poddar och sociala medier. In 2024, the SI Creative Partnerships Programme was able to approve 33 of 134 applications received, which equals an approval rate of just over 24%. During the year, 14 projects submitted final reports. All of them stated that the project objectives had been met and that the target group had been strengthened in line with the program objectives. During 2025, 11 projects were financed within the framework of SI CPP. The projects shared the overarching objective of contributing to strengthened capacity and competence among civil society actors as well as public and private actors to promote innovative and effective methods for sustainable development.The projects were implemented in the areas of culture, independent media, and civil society. They contributed to strengthening and developing the participants’ and target groups’ knowledge, methods, and networks within their respective thematic areas and geographical contexts. Som examples of results: In the MENA region, a regional cultural project provided psychosocial support to more than 4,000 children and adults in marginalized areas. In Ethiopia, one project led local authorities to introduce new approaches for dialogue with and openness towards citizens, which is expected to contribute to increased social accountability within the authorities. In Zambia, civil society organisations, public officials, and media houses collaborated to improve media reporting on sexual and reproductive health and rights, resulting in the training of 222 individuals and reaching more than 10,000 people through radio broadcasts, podcasts, and social media.

During the year, 14 projects submitted final reports. All of them stated that the project objectives had been met and that the target group had been strengthened in line with the program objectives. During 2025, 22 projects in the Western Balkans and Türkiye were financed under SI CPP. The programme contributed to strengthened democratic governance and respect for human rights and the rule of law. It further contributed to improved conditions for accountability, increased transparency and reduced corruption, as well as strengthened conditions for a gender-equal society. The results are particularly strong within human rights and accountability, and include, among other things, reduced stigmatisation of LGBTQI persons and strengthened cooperation between actors working for gender equality and against gender-based discrimination. At portfolio level, the projects demonstrate clear performance-related effects, particularly in areas such as changes in attitudes, increased capacity among target groups, and the establishment of new forms of collaboration. Several projects have also contributed to policy development, network-building, and long-term impact. Many of the partnerships have resulted in plans for continued and deepened cooperation, which is likely to contribute to strong sustainability and the ability to continue advancing democracy and human rights. SI Creative Partnerships Programme kunde totalt under 2024 bevilja 33 av 134 inkomna ansökningar för alla regioner, vilket motsvarar en beviljandegrad på drygt 24%. Under året slutrapporterade 14 projekt. Samtliga uppgav att projektmålen uppnåtts och att målgruppen stärkts i linje med programmålen. Under 2025 finansierades 22 projekt i västra Balkan och Turkiet inom SI CPP. Programmet bidrog till stärkt demokratisk samhällsstyrning och respekt för mänskliga rättigheter och rättsstatens principer. Programmet bidrog vidare till stärkta förutsättningar för ansvarsutkrävande, ökad transparens och minskad korruption samt stärkta förutsättningar för ett jämställt samhälle. Resultaten är särskilt starka inom mänskliga rättigheter och ansvarsutkrävande och inkluderar bland annat minskad stigmatisering av HBTQI-personer och stärkt samverkan mellan aktörer som verkar för jämställdhet och mot könsbaserad diskriminering. På portföljnivå visar projekten tydliga prestationsnära effekter, särskilt inom områden som attitydförändringar, ökad kapacitet hos målgrupper och etablering av nya samverkansformer. Flera projekt har dessutom bidragit till policyutveckling, nätverksbyggande och långsiktig påverkan. Många av partnerskapen har mynnat ut i planer på fortsatt och fördjupad samverkan, vilket sannolikt bidrar till god hållbarhet och möjlighet till fortsatt arbete för stärkt demokrati och mänskliga rättigheter.

In the cultural sector, projects were carried out that—through literature, documentary film, and photography—helped strengthen freedom of expression, gender equality, and human rights. Other projects created new platforms and networks for experience exchange and capacity development between, for example, independent media actors and journalists, contributing to improved conditions for accountability in the region. SI CPP contributed to strengthened democratic governance and respect for human rights and the rule of law. The programme also contributed to improved conditions for accountability, increased transparency and reduced corruption, as well as strengthened conditions for a gender-equal society. In several of the programme countries, democratic space decreased during the year. Through SI CPP, project participants were given the opportunity to strengthen their knowledge, develop working methods, and build relationships with relevant actors in Sweden and the region; thereby enabling them to work for democracy and human rights despite the overall negative trend in many contexts.

The programme is implemented within the framework of Sweden’s INPAKT strategy objectives and aims to contribute to “enhanced capacity and competence among actors in the private and public sectors, academia, and civil society in developing countries to promote innovative and effective methods for sustainable development, including through synergies with trade and industry.” The purpose of the leadership programme is therefore to equip participants with increased knowledge of sustainability issues and tools, as well as exposure to good and innovative practices that enable them to drive change and anchor sustainability work within their organisations, while also expanding their professional networks. The programme is designed so that participants—executives within the business sector with mandates to influence and drive change in their respective companies—parallel to gaining theoretical knowledge and exchanging experiences with others active in the same priority sectors, begin implementing concrete sustainability-related change initiatives during the programme: “Strategic Business Projects.” These initiatives, along with the programme’s approach of fostering connections with potential trade and cooperation partners, aim to further embed knowledge and tools within the participants’ companies and to build relevant relationships that help accelerate sustainable development and the green transition within their organisations, and ultimately, in the programme countries. 2024: OVERARCHING GOAL Promote democratic, just, and sustainable development by creating preconditions for better living standards for people living in poverty and under oppression. Capacity building programme tied to SDG 8; Decent work and economic growth, with a focus on sustainable business and entrepreneurship. Immediate expected results: 1. Increased knowledge as a result of the programme. 2. New/improved tools to drive change in accordance with Programme objective. 3. Impact of the results in the participating organisations. Program Objectives, expected long-term results: 1. Increased knowledge within the participants' companies about social, ecological, and economic sustainability from a business perspective. 2. Enhanced collaboration, exchanges, and business between programme participants, as well as between Swedish companies and participants. 3. Strengthened capacity within the participants' companies to apply and implement methods for strategic business development in sustainability and green transition. 4. Strengthened capacity among individuals in the participants' companies to lead themselves and others through strategic change processes and manage complexity. 2025: Övergripande mål med SI Global Executive Programme är att främja en demokratisk, rättvis och hållbar utveckling genom att skapa förutsättningar för bättre levnadsvillkor för människor som lever i fattigdom och förtryck. Programmet genomförs inom Sveriges INPAKT-strategimål och ska bidra till ”Stärkt kapacitet och kompetens hos aktörer inom privat och offentlig sektor, akademi och inom civilsamhället i utvecklingsländer, att verka för innovativa och effektiva metoder för hållbar utveckling, inklusive genom synergier med handel och näringsliv.” Syftet med ledarskapsprogrammet är således att ge deltagarna ökade kunskaper om hållbarhetsfrågor och verktyg samt exponering mot goda, innovativa exempel för att driva förändring och förankra hållbarhetsarbetet i sina organisationer samt utöka deltagarnas nätverk. Programmet är därför utformat så att deltagarna; befattningshavare inom näringslivet med mandat att påverka och förändra i sina respektive företag, parallellt med inhämtande av teoretiska kunskaper och erfarenhetsutbyte med andra verksamma inom samma prioriterade sektorer, under programmets gång påbörjar implementering av konkreta förändringsinitiativ inom hållbarhet; ”Strategic Business Project”. Dessa initiativ och tillvägagångssättet med kontaktskapande med potentiella handels- och samarbetsaktörer syftar till att ytterligare förankra kunskaper och verktyg i deltagarnas företag och bygga relevanta relationer för att accelerera den hållbara utvecklingen och gröna omställningen i deltagarnas respektive organisationer, och på sikt, i programländerna. 2024: ÖVERGRIPANDE MÅL Främja en demokratisk, rättvis och hållbar utveckling genom att skapa förutsättningar för bättre levnadsvillkor för människor som lever i fattigdom och förtryck, kopplat till SDG 8; Anständiga arbetsvillkor och hållbar ekonomisk tillväxt.

The programme is implemented within the framework of Sweden’s INPAKT strategy objectives and aims to contribute to “enhanced capacity and competence among actors in the private and public sectors, academia, and civil society in developing countries to promote innovative and effective methods for sustainable development, including through synergies with trade and industry.” The purpose of the leadership programme is therefore to equip participants with increased knowledge of sustainability issues and tools, as well as exposure to good and innovative practices that enable them to drive change and anchor sustainability work within their organisations, while also expanding their professional networks. The programme is designed so that participants—executives within the business sector with mandates to influence and drive change in their respective companies—parallel to gaining theoretical knowledge and exchanging experiences with others active in the same priority sectors, begin implementing concrete sustainability-related change initiatives during the programme: “Strategic Business Projects.” These initiatives, along with the programme’s approach of fostering connections with potential trade and cooperation partners, aim to further embed knowledge and tools within the participants’ companies and to build relevant relationships that help accelerate sustainable development and the green transition within their organisations, and ultimately, in the programme countries. 2024: OVERARCHING GOAL Promote democratic, just, and sustainable development by creating preconditions for better living standards for people living in poverty and under oppression.

The programme is implemented within the framework of Sweden’s INPAKT strategy objectives and aims to contribute to “enhanced capacity and competence among actors in the private and public sectors, academia, and civil society in developing countries to promote innovative and effective methods for sustainable development, including through synergies with trade and industry.” The purpose of the leadership programme is therefore to equip participants with increased knowledge of sustainability issues and tools, as well as exposure to good and innovative practices that enable them to drive change and anchor sustainability work within their organisations, while also expanding their professional networks. The programme is designed so that participants—executives within the business sector with mandates to influence and drive change in their respective companies—parallel to gaining theoretical knowledge and exchanging experiences with others active in the same priority sectors, begin implementing concrete sustainability-related change initiatives during the programme: “Strategic Business Projects.” These initiatives, along with the programme’s approach of fostering connections with potential trade and cooperation partners, aim to further embed knowledge and tools within the participants’ companies and to build relevant relationships that help accelerate sustainable development and the green transition within their organisations, and ultimately, in the programme countries. 2024: OVERARCHING GOAL Promote democratic, just, and sustainable development by creating preconditions for better living standards for people living in poverty and under oppression.

The programme is implemented within the framework of Sweden’s INPAKT strategy objectives and aims to contribute to “enhanced capacity and competence among actors in the private and public sectors, academia, and civil society in developing countries to promote innovative and effective methods for sustainable development, including through synergies with trade and industry.” The purpose of the leadership programme is therefore to equip participants with increased knowledge of sustainability issues and tools, as well as exposure to good and innovative practices that enable them to drive change and anchor sustainability work within their organisations, while also expanding their professional networks. The programme is designed so that participants—executives within the business sector with mandates to influence and drive change in their respective companies—parallel to gaining theoretical knowledge and exchanging experiences with others active in the same priority sectors, begin implementing concrete sustainability-related change initiatives during the programme: “Strategic Business Projects.” These initiatives, along with the programme’s approach of fostering connections with potential trade and cooperation partners, aim to further embed knowledge and tools within the participants’ companies and to build relevant relationships that help accelerate sustainable development and the green transition within their organisations, and ultimately, in the programme countries. 2024: OVERARCHING GOAL Promote democratic, just, and sustainable development by creating preconditions for better living standards for people living in poverty and under oppression.

The programme is implemented within the framework of Sweden’s INPAKT strategy objectives and aims to contribute to “enhanced capacity and competence among actors in the private and public sectors, academia, and civil society in developing countries to promote innovative and effective methods for sustainable development, including through synergies with trade and industry.” The purpose of the leadership programme is therefore to equip participants with increased knowledge of sustainability issues and tools, as well as exposure to good and innovative practices that enable them to drive change and anchor sustainability work within their organisations, while also expanding their professional networks. The programme is designed so that participants—executives within the business sector with mandates to influence and drive change in their respective companies—parallel to gaining theoretical knowledge and exchanging experiences with others active in the same priority sectors, begin implementing concrete sustainability-related change initiatives during the programme: “Strategic Business Projects.” These initiatives, along with the programme’s approach of fostering connections with potential trade and cooperation partners, aim to further embed knowledge and tools within the participants’ companies and to build relevant relationships that help accelerate sustainable development and the green transition within their organisations, and ultimately, in the programme countries. 2024: OVERARCHING GOAL Promote democratic, just, and sustainable development by creating preconditions for better living standards for people living in poverty and under oppression.

The programme is implemented within the framework of Sweden’s INPAKT strategy objectives and aims to contribute to “enhanced capacity and competence among actors in the private and public sectors, academia, and civil society in developing countries to promote innovative and effective methods for sustainable development, including through synergies with trade and industry.” The purpose of the leadership programme is therefore to equip participants with increased knowledge of sustainability issues and tools, as well as exposure to good and innovative practices that enable them to drive change and anchor sustainability work within their organisations, while also expanding their professional networks. The programme is designed so that participants—executives within the business sector with mandates to influence and drive change in their respective companies—parallel to gaining theoretical knowledge and exchanging experiences with others active in the same priority sectors, begin implementing concrete sustainability-related change initiatives during the programme: “Strategic Business Projects.” These initiatives, along with the programme’s approach of fostering connections with potential trade and cooperation partners, aim to further embed knowledge and tools within the participants’ companies and to build relevant relationships that help accelerate sustainable development and the green transition within their organisations, and ultimately, in the programme countries. 2024: OVERARCHING GOAL Promote democratic, just, and sustainable development by creating preconditions for better living standards for people living in poverty and under oppression.

The programme is implemented within the framework of Sweden’s INPAKT strategy objectives and aims to contribute to “enhanced capacity and competence among actors in the private and public sectors, academia, and civil society in developing countries to promote innovative and effective methods for sustainable development, including through synergies with trade and industry.” The purpose of the leadership programme is therefore to equip participants with increased knowledge of sustainability issues and tools, as well as exposure to good and innovative practices that enable them to drive change and anchor sustainability work within their organisations, while also expanding their professional networks. The programme is designed so that participants—executives within the business sector with mandates to influence and drive change in their respective companies—parallel to gaining theoretical knowledge and exchanging experiences with others active in the same priority sectors, begin implementing concrete sustainability-related change initiatives during the programme: “Strategic Business Projects.” These initiatives, along with the programme’s approach of fostering connections with potential trade and cooperation partners, aim to further embed knowledge and tools within the participants’ companies and to build relevant relationships that help accelerate sustainable development and the green transition within their organisations, and ultimately, in the programme countries. 2024: OVERARCHING GOAL Promote democratic, just, and sustainable development by creating preconditions for better living standards for people living in poverty and under oppression.

The programme is implemented within the framework of Sweden’s INPAKT strategy objectives and aims to contribute to “enhanced capacity and competence among actors in the private and public sectors, academia, and civil society in developing countries to promote innovative and effective methods for sustainable development, including through synergies with trade and industry.” The purpose of the leadership programme is therefore to equip participants with increased knowledge of sustainability issues and tools, as well as exposure to good and innovative practices that enable them to drive change and anchor sustainability work within their organisations, while also expanding their professional networks. The programme is designed so that participants—executives within the business sector with mandates to influence and drive change in their respective companies—parallel to gaining theoretical knowledge and exchanging experiences with others active in the same priority sectors, begin implementing concrete sustainability-related change initiatives during the programme: “Strategic Business Projects.” These initiatives, along with the programme’s approach of fostering connections with potential trade and cooperation partners, aim to further embed knowledge and tools within the participants’ companies and to build relevant relationships that help accelerate sustainable development and the green transition within their organisations, and ultimately, in the programme countries. 2024: OVERARCHING GOAL Promote democratic, just, and sustainable development by creating preconditions for better living standards for people living in poverty and under oppression.

The programme is implemented within the framework of Sweden’s INPAKT strategy objectives and aims to contribute to “enhanced capacity and competence among actors in the private and public sectors, academia, and civil society in developing countries to promote innovative and effective methods for sustainable development, including through synergies with trade and industry.” The purpose of the leadership programme is therefore to equip participants with increased knowledge of sustainability issues and tools, as well as exposure to good and innovative practices that enable them to drive change and anchor sustainability work within their organisations, while also expanding their professional networks. The programme is designed so that participants—executives within the business sector with mandates to influence and drive change in their respective companies—parallel to gaining theoretical knowledge and exchanging experiences with others active in the same priority sectors, begin implementing concrete sustainability-related change initiatives during the programme: “Strategic Business Projects.” These initiatives, along with the programme’s approach of fostering connections with potential trade and cooperation partners, aim to further embed knowledge and tools within the participants’ companies and to build relevant relationships that help accelerate sustainable development and the green transition within their organisations, and ultimately, in the programme countries. 2024: OVERARCHING GOAL Promote democratic, just, and sustainable development by creating preconditions for better living standards for people living in poverty and under oppression.

De resultat som presenteras här är det sammanlagda resultatet över alla slutförda delprogram, men i redovisningen uppdelat på olika länder. Under 2024/2025 slutfördes de 7 av de 8 delprogram som beviljades medel 2023, ett avbröts i förtid på grund av förändrade förutsättningar att driva projektet i Ukraina. Totalt diplomerades 173 deltagare från offentlig sektor i 18 OECD/DAC länder, varav 63% kvinnor. Inom vilken tematik som varje delprogram förväntas visa ökad kunskap och ökade färdigheter för deltagande individer varierar. Det som rapporteras är i vilken grad kunskapsökning och färdighetsökning har skett oavsett tematik. Kunskapsökning, andel som svarat 4-5 på femgradig skala vad gäller kunskaper inom resp tema.

To contribute to this, the programs must strengthen the participants' knowledge of working methods, methods and change work to run an activity that leads to an equal, equal, inclusive and/or sustainable society, but also strengthen their confidence in their own ability to drive change work within the own organization. This is done by partly promoting innovation and renewal in the public sector, partly contributing to a green transition and thus contributing to the implementation of Agenda 2030. After completing the program, the participants are expected to have increased knowledge in the relevant issues, an expanded network (both within and outside the participant group) and a strengthened capacity to drive change in and/or outside their own organization. The program is also expected to have an organizational effect. På lång sikt ska SI Public Sector innovation Programme bidra till att offentlig sektor i samarbetsländer bedriver en verksamhet som leder till ett jämlikt, jämställt, hållbart och/eller inkluderande samhälle för att uppnå de globala målen. För att bidra till detta ska programmen stärka deltagarnas kunskap om arbetssätt, metoder och förändringsarbete för att driva en verksamhet som leder till ett jämlikt, jämställt, inkluderande och/eller hållbart samhälle, men också stärka deras tilltro till sin egen förmåga att driva förändringsarbete inom den egna organisationen. Detta görs genom att dels främja innovation och förnyelse i offentlig sektor, dels bidra till grön omställning och på så sätt bidra till implementeringen av Agenda 2030. Efter avslutat program förväntas deltagarna ha ett ökad kunskap inom de berörda frågorna, ett utökat nätverk (både inom och utanför deltagargruppen) samt en stärkt kapacitet att driva förändring i och/eller utanför den egna organisationen. Programmet förväntas också ge en organisatorisk effekt.

In the long term, the SI Public Sector innovation Program shall contribute to the public sector in partner countries conducting activities that lead to an egalitarian, equal, sustainable and/or inclusive society in order to achieve the global goals. To contribute to this, the programs must strengthen the participants' knowledge of working methods, methods and change work to run an activity that leads to an equal, equal, inclusive and/or sustainable society, but also strengthen their confidence in their own ability to drive change work within the own organization. This is done by partly promoting innovation and renewal in the public sector, partly contributing to a green transition and thus contributing to the implementation of Agenda 2030. After completing the program, the participants are expected to have increased knowledge in the relevant issues, an expanded network (both within and outside the participant group) and a strengthened capacity to drive change in and/or outside their own organization. The program is also expected to have an organizational effect. På lång sikt ska SI Public Sector innovation Programme bidra till att offentlig sektor i samarbetsländer bedriver en verksamhet som leder till ett jämlikt, jämställt, hållbart och/eller inkluderande samhälle för att uppnå de globala målen. För att bidra till detta ska programmen stärka deltagarnas kunskap om arbetssätt, metoder och förändringsarbete för att driva en verksamhet som leder till ett jämlikt, jämställt, inkluderande och/eller hållbart samhälle, men också stärka deras tilltro till sin egen förmåga att driva förändringsarbete inom den egna organisationen. Detta görs genom att dels främja innovation och förnyelse i offentlig sektor, dels bidra till grön omställning och på så sätt bidra till implementeringen av Agenda 2030. Efter avslutat program förväntas deltagarna ha ett ökad kunskap inom de berörda frågorna, ett utökat nätverk (både inom och utanför deltagargruppen) samt en stärkt kapacitet att driva förändring i och/eller utanför den egna organisationen. Programmet förväntas också ge en organisatorisk effekt.

Delprogrammen riktar sig till olika utvalda länder (ofta regionalt) och skiljer sig tematiskt åt. Geografiskt kan delprogrammen överlappa varandra. De resultat som presenteras här är det sammanlagda resultatet över alla slutförda delprogram, men i redovisningen uppdelat på olika länder. Under 2024/2025 slutfördes de 7 av de 8 delprogram som beviljades medel 2023, ett avbröts i förtid på grund av förändrade förutsättningar att driva projektet i Ukraina. Totalt diplomerades 173 deltagare från offentlig sektor i 18 OECD/DAC länder, varav 63% kvinnor. Inom vilken tematik som varje delprogram förväntas visa ökad kunskap och ökade färdigheter för deltagande individer varierar. Det som rapporteras är i vilken grad kunskapsökning och färdighetsökning har skett oavsett tematik. Kunskapsökning, andel som svarat 4-5 på femgradig skala vad gäller kunskaper inom resp tema. Mätt genom enkät efter genomfört program så svarar 82% att de har hög eller mycket hög kunskap inom respektive delprograms tematik. Färdighetsökning, andel som svarat 4-5 på femgradig skala vad gäller färdigheter inom resp tema. Mätt genom enkät efter genomfört program så svarar 80% svarar att de har höga eller mycket höga färdigheter inom respektive delprograms tematik. Överlag har de respektive delprogrammen goda resultat, men några program har mindre tydliga resultat. En insikt som ytterligare förstärkts är att geografi och tematik bör vara mer fokuserat. Inför utlysningen för medel som beviljades 2024 (med slutrapportering 2025) har detta genomförts men då de delprogrammen är pågående har det inte följts upp ännu. Programmet utlyses inte igen för 2025, då istället nya former av mer fokuserat och avgränsat stöd i linje med regeringens strategier kommer att undersökas. In 2024/2025, 7 of the 8 sub-programs that were granted funds in 2023 were completed, one was canceled early due to changed conditions for running the project in Ukraine. A total of 173 participants from the public sector in 18 OECD/DAC countries graduated, of which 63% were women. The theme within each sub-program is expected to show increased knowledge and increased skills for participating individuals varies. The degree to which knowledge growth and skill growth has taken place regardless of the topic is reported. Knowledge increase, proportion who answered 4-5 on a five-point scale in terms of knowledge within each theme. Measured by a survey after completing the program, 82% answer that they have a high or very high knowledge of the respective sub-programme's subject matter. Skill increase, proportion who answered 4-5 on a five-point scale in terms of skills within each theme. Measured by a survey after completing the program, 80% respond that they have high or very high skills within the respective sub-programme's subject matter. Overall, the respective sub-programmes have good results, but some programs have less clear results.

To contribute to this, the programs must strengthen the participants' knowledge of working methods, methods and change work to run an activity that leads to an equal, equal, inclusive and/or sustainable society, but also strengthen their confidence in their own ability to drive change work within the own organization. This is done by partly promoting innovation and renewal in the public sector, partly contributing to a green transition and thus contributing to the implementation of Agenda 2030. After completing the program, the participants are expected to have increased knowledge in the relevant issues, an expanded network (both within and outside the participant group) and a strengthened capacity to drive change in and/or outside their own organization. The program is also expected to have an organizational effect. På lång sikt ska SI Public Sector innovation Programme bidra till att offentlig sektor i samarbetsländer bedriver en verksamhet som leder till ett jämlikt, jämställt, hållbart och/eller inkluderande samhälle för att uppnå de globala målen. För att bidra till detta ska programmen stärka deltagarnas kunskap om arbetssätt, metoder och förändringsarbete för att driva en verksamhet som leder till ett jämlikt, jämställt, inkluderande och/eller hållbart samhälle, men också stärka deras tilltro till sin egen förmåga att driva förändringsarbete inom den egna organisationen. Detta görs genom att dels främja innovation och förnyelse i offentlig sektor, dels bidra till grön omställning och på så sätt bidra till implementeringen av Agenda 2030. Efter avslutat program förväntas deltagarna ha ett ökad kunskap inom de berörda frågorna, ett utökat nätverk (både inom och utanför deltagargruppen) samt en stärkt kapacitet att driva förändring i och/eller utanför den egna organisationen.

Sweden Swedish Institute Swedish Institute +46 8 453 78 00 si@si.se www.si.se Slottsbacken 10, Box 7434. 103 91 Stockholm Uganda Advanced technical and managerial training Post-Secondary Education In 2024/2025, 7 of the 8 sub-programs that were granted funds in 2023 were completed, one was canceled early due to changed conditions for running the project in Ukraine. A total of 173 participants from the public sector in 18 OECD/DAC countries graduated, of which 63% were women. The theme within each sub-program is expected to show increased knowledge and increased skills for participating individuals varies. The degree to which knowledge growth and skill growth has taken place regardless of the topic is reported. Knowledge increase, proportion who answered 4-5 on a five-point scale in terms of knowledge within each theme. Measured by a survey after completing the program, 82% answer that they have a high or very high knowledge of the respective sub-programme's subject matter. Skill increase, proportion who answered 4-5 on a five-point scale in terms of skills within each theme. Measured by a survey after completing the program, 80% respond that they have high or very high skills within the respective sub-programme's subject matter. Overall, the respective sub-programmes have good results, but some programs have less clear results. An insight that has been further reinforced is that geography and thematics should be more focused. Prior to the call for funds granted in 2024 (with final reporting in 2025), this has been carried out, but as those sub-programmes are ongoing, it has not yet been followed up. The SIPSIP- program will not be announced again for 2025, when instead new forms of more focused support in line with the government's strategies will be investigated. SIPSIP-programmet utlystes årligen, och sedan beviljades 7-8 olika delprogram medel som genomförs över 18 månader. Delprogrammen riktar sig till olika utvalda länder (ofta regionalt) och skiljer sig tematiskt åt. Geografiskt kan delprogrammen överlappa varandra. De resultat som presenteras här är det sammanlagda resultatet över alla slutförda delprogram, men i redovisningen uppdelat på olika länder. Under 2024/2025 slutfördes de 7 av de 8 delprogram som beviljades medel 2023, ett avbröts i förtid på grund av förändrade förutsättningar att driva projektet i Ukraina. Totalt diplomerades 173 deltagare från offentlig sektor i 18 OECD/DAC länder, varav 63% kvinnor. Inom vilken tematik som varje delprogram förväntas visa ökad kunskap och ökade färdigheter för deltagande individer varierar. Det som rapporteras är i vilken grad kunskapsökning och färdighetsökning har skett oavsett tematik. Kunskapsökning, andel som svarat 4-5 på femgradig skala vad gäller kunskaper inom resp tema. Mätt genom enkät efter genomfört program så svarar 82% att de har hög eller mycket hög kunskap inom respektive delprograms tematik. Färdighetsökning, andel som svarat 4-5 på femgradig skala vad gäller färdigheter inom resp tema. Mätt genom enkät efter genomfört program så svarar 80% svarar att de har höga eller mycket höga färdigheter inom respektive delprograms tematik. Överlag har de respektive delprogrammen goda resultat, men några program har mindre tydliga resultat. En insikt som ytterligare förstärkts är att geografi och tematik bör vara mer fokuserat. Inför utlysningen för medel som beviljades 2024 (med slutrapportering 2025) har detta genomförts men då de delprogrammen är pågående har det inte följts upp ännu. Programmet utlyses inte igen för 2025, då istället nya former av mer fokuserat och avgränsat stöd i linje med regeringens strategier kommer att undersökas.

The scholarship is directed towards professionals with work and leadership experience, to strengthen their capacity and competence to contribute to the sustainable development of their home countries. The scholarship is available to applicants from 34 OECD/DAC countries (2026) and covers the study fields: entrepreneurship and innovation, governance, public health, and STEM sciences. Swedish Institute Scholarships for Global Professionals (SISGP) är ett fullt finansierat stipendieprogram (studieavgift och levnadskostnader) för magister- och masterstudier vid svenska universitet. Stipendiet riktar sig till personer med yrkes- och ledarskapserfarenhet och syftar till att stärka stipendiaters förmåga, kompetens och förutsättningar att göra meningsfulla bidrag till hållbar utveckling i sina hemländer. Stipendiet är tillgänglig för sökande från 34 OECD/DAC länder (2026) och inkluderar masterprogram inom områdena STEM, entreprenörskap och innovation, folkhälsa och samhällsstyre. Läshänvisning: Detta är ett sammanhållet program som täcker kostnader för studenter från flera länder. Det totala finansiella utfallet för masterstudenter från respektive land visas på openaid.som separata insatser. Det betyder att insatsen återkommer flera gånger. Expected results 2024: The programme as a whole will contribute to global sustainable development. The scholarship holders are expected to use their knowledge, insights, tools and networks in the work for sustainable development where they are. In this way, organizations/institutions have an improved access to skilled labor in specific areas – which leads to an increased capacity in low- and middle-income countries to implement the 2030 Agenda. Within 1-3 years, the programme is expected to contribute to organisations in partner countries having improved access to a skilled and equal workforce in relevant areas. Within 3-5 years, the programme is expected to contribute to an increased capacity of low- and middle-income countries to implement the 2030 Agenda and thus contribute to global sustainable development Expected immediate results The performance-related effects are that these change agents, through a university education and participation in NFGP, gain knowledge, insights, tools and a larger network. That they gain contacts and exchange experiences with other change agents and that they are strengthened in their leadership skills. The immediate/performance-related effects are as follows: • Awarded scholarship holders undergo and complete their studies at advanced level in Sweden. • Individuals are given tools to better contribute to global development • Individuals gain contacts and exchange of experience with other change agents. Expected results 2025: The Swedish Institute scholarship programme should according to the governing Strategy for innovation, partnership and capacity development 2024–2028 strengthen the capacity of relevant actors who can contribute to sustainable development in development countries through education. A prerequisite for this is that the selected scholarship holders are qualified to carry out and complete qualitative education on master’s level at Swedish universities. After completed master’s studies in Sweden, the scholarship holders are expected to have strengthened their abilities and capacity to contribute to sustainable development. This through employment in key positions in the private sector, public sector, academia or civil society in their home countries and that they use the knowledge and competences they gained through studies in Sweden to address societal challenges through innovative and effective measures. Förväntade resultat 2024: Programmet i stort ska bidra till en global hållbar utveckling. Stipendiaterna förväntas använda sina kunskaper, insikter, verktyg och nätverk i arbetet för en hållbar utveckling där de befinner sig. På så sätt har organisationer/institutioner en förbättrad tillgång till kvalificerad arbetskraft inom särskilda områden – vilket leder till en ökad kapacitet i låg- och medel-inkomstländer att genomföra Agenda 2030. Inom 1–3 år förväntas programmet bidra till att organisationer i partnerländerna har förbättrad tillgång till kvalificerad och jämställd arbetskraft inom relevanta områden. Inom 3–5 år förväntas programmet bidra till en ökad kapacitet hos låg- och medelinkomstländer att genomföra Agenda 2030 och därmed bidra till en globalt hållbar utveckling Förväntade omedelbara resultat De prestationsnära effekterna är att dessa förändringsaktörer, genom en högskoleutbildning och deltagande i NFGP, får kunskaper, insikter, verktyg och ett större nätverk. Att de får kontakter och erfarenhetsutbyten med andra förändringsaktörer samt att de stärks i sin ledarskapsförmåga. De omedelbara/prestationsnära effekterna är följande: •Beviljade stipendiater genomgår och slutför sina studier på avancerad nivå i Sverige. •Individerna får verktyg för att bättre kunna bidra till en global utveckling •Individerna får kontakter och erfarenhetsutbyten med andra förändringsaktörer. Förväntade resultat 2025: Svenska institutets stipendieprogram ska enligt Strategin för Innovation, Partnerskap och Kapacitetsutveckling (2024-2028) stärka kompetensen hos relevanta aktörer som genom utbildning kan bidra till en hållbar utveckling i utvecklingsländer. En grundförutsättning för att uppnå detta är att stipendiaterna som väljs ut i programmet är kvalificerade att genomföra och slutföra kvalitativ utbildning på mastersnivå vid svenska universitet. Vidare förväntas stipendiaterna efter genomförd masterutbildning i Sverige få stärkt förmåga och kompetens att bidra till hållbar utveckling.

Expected results 2024: The programme as a whole will contribute to global sustainable development. The scholarship holders are expected to use their knowledge, insights, tools and networks in the work for sustainable development where they are. In this way, organizations/institutions have an improved access to skilled labor in specific areas – which leads to an increased capacity in low- and middle-income countries to implement the 2030 Agenda. Within 1-3 years, the programme is expected to contribute to organisations in partner countries having improved access to a skilled and equal workforce in relevant areas. Within 3-5 years, the programme is expected to contribute to an increased capacity of low- and middle-income countries to implement the 2030 Agenda and thus contribute to global sustainable development Expected immediate results The performance-related effects are that these change agents, through a university education and participation in NFGP, gain knowledge, insights, tools and a larger network. That they gain contacts and exchange experiences with other change agents and that they are strengthened in their leadership skills. The immediate/performance-related effects are as follows: • Awarded scholarship holders undergo and complete their studies at advanced level in Sweden. • Individuals are given tools to better contribute to global development • Individuals gain contacts and exchange of experience with other change agents. Expected results 2025: The Swedish Institute scholarship programme should according to the governing Strategy for innovation, partnership and capacity development 2024–2028 strengthen the capacity of relevant actors who can contribute to sustainable development in development countries through education. A prerequisite for this is that the selected scholarship holders are qualified to carry out and complete qualitative education on master’s level at Swedish universities. After completed master’s studies in Sweden, the scholarship holders are expected to have strengthened their abilities and capacity to contribute to sustainable development. This through employment in key positions in the private sector, public sector, academia or civil society in their home countries and that they use the knowledge and competences they gained through studies in Sweden to address societal challenges through innovative and effective measures. Förväntade resultat 2024: Programmet i stort ska bidra till en global hållbar utveckling. Stipendiaterna förväntas använda sina kunskaper, insikter, verktyg och nätverk i arbetet för en hållbar utveckling där de befinner sig. På så sätt har organisationer/institutioner en förbättrad tillgång till kvalificerad arbetskraft inom särskilda områden – vilket leder till en ökad kapacitet i låg- och medel-inkomstländer att genomföra Agenda 2030. Inom 1–3 år förväntas programmet bidra till att organisationer i partnerländerna har förbättrad tillgång till kvalificerad och jämställd arbetskraft inom relevanta områden. Inom 3–5 år förväntas programmet bidra till en ökad kapacitet hos låg- och medelinkomstländer att genomföra Agenda 2030 och därmed bidra till en globalt hållbar utveckling Förväntade omedelbara resultat De prestationsnära effekterna är att dessa förändringsaktörer, genom en högskoleutbildning och deltagande i NFGP, får kunskaper, insikter, verktyg och ett större nätverk. Att de får kontakter och erfarenhetsutbyten med andra förändringsaktörer samt att de stärks i sin ledarskapsförmåga.

Förväntade resultat 2025: Svenska institutets stipendieprogram ska enligt Strategin för Innovation, Partnerskap och Kapacitetsutveckling (2024-2028) stärka kompetensen hos relevanta aktörer som genom utbildning kan bidra till en hållbar utveckling i utvecklingsländer. En grundförutsättning för att uppnå detta är att stipendiaterna som väljs ut i programmet är kvalificerade att genomföra och slutföra kvalitativ utbildning på mastersnivå vid svenska universitet. Vidare förväntas stipendiaterna efter genomförd masterutbildning i Sverige få stärkt förmåga och kompetens att bidra till hållbar utveckling.

Expected results 2024: The programme as a whole will contribute to global sustainable development. The scholarship holders are expected to use their knowledge, insights, tools and networks in the work for sustainable development where they are. In this way, organizations/institutions have an improved access to skilled labor in specific areas – which leads to an increased capacity in low- and middle-income countries to implement the 2030 Agenda. Within 1-3 years, the programme is expected to contribute to organisations in partner countries having improved access to a skilled and equal workforce in relevant areas. Within 3-5 years, the programme is expected to contribute to an increased capacity of low- and middle-income countries to implement the 2030 Agenda and thus contribute to global sustainable development Expected immediate results The performance-related effects are that these change agents, through a university education and participation in NFGP, gain knowledge, insights, tools and a larger network. That they gain contacts and exchange experiences with other change agents and that they are strengthened in their leadership skills. The immediate/performance-related effects are as follows: • Awarded scholarship holders undergo and complete their studies at advanced level in Sweden. • Individuals are given tools to better contribute to global development • Individuals gain contacts and exchange of experience with other change agents. Expected results 2025: The Swedish Institute scholarship programme should according to the governing Strategy for innovation, partnership and capacity development 2024–2028 strengthen the capacity of relevant actors who can contribute to sustainable development in development countries through education. A prerequisite for this is that the selected scholarship holders are qualified to carry out and complete qualitative education on master’s level at Swedish universities. After completed master’s studies in Sweden, the scholarship holders are expected to have strengthened their abilities and capacity to contribute to sustainable development. This through employment in key positions in the private sector, public sector, academia or civil society in their home countries and that they use the knowledge and competences they gained through studies in Sweden to address societal challenges through innovative and effective measures.

A Tracer study carried out during 2025 shows that 47% have returned home and hold meaningful positions in their home countries. One alumnus, has through his leading position at Ministry of Water Supply, Irrigation and Energy in Nepal been able to carry out 15 rural drinking water supply projects benefitting more than 2,200 households – where the knowledge and skills gained in Sweden have helped in achieving these results. Resultat 2024: Examensuppföljning Totalt har 84% slutfört sina studier, vilket är den högsta siffran sedan 2021. Värt att notera är att i återkopplingen från stipendiaterna som inte tagit examen så är det 18 som planerar att lämna in sina slutgiltiga uppgifter eller sin masteruppsats i december 2024. 24 meddelar att de planerar att slutföra sina studier under våren 2025. För att jämföra med 2023 så har siffran ökat från 73% till 84%, vilket ger en ökning på 11 % Resultat 2025: Svenska institutets stipendieprogram ska stärka kompetensen hos relevanta aktörer som genom utbildning kan bidra till en hållbar utveckling i utvecklingsländer. En grundförutsättning för detta är att stipendiaterna genomför och slutför kvalitativ utbildning på mastersnivå i Sverige. 87% av de stipendiater som väntades ta examen 2025 har slutfört sina studier. Årets uppföljningsstudier visar att tre år efter avslutade studier anser 95% av de svarande stipendiatalumnerna att studierna varit relevanta för karriären och att 96% har kunnat använda kunskaper och förmågor från studierna i sin karriär. 91% av stipendiatalumnerna arbetar i en roll som bidrar till hållbar utveckling. En långtidsuppföljning som SI gjort visar att 47% har återvänt hem - och har betydande positioner i sina hemländer. En alumn har exempelvis genom har genom sin position på Ministry of Water Supply, Irrigation and Energy under sex månader slutfört 15 dricksvattenprojekt på landsbygden vilket har varit till nytta för 2,200 hushåll.

Expected results 2024: The programme as a whole will contribute to global sustainable development. The scholarship holders are expected to use their knowledge, insights, tools and networks in the work for sustainable development where they are. In this way, organizations/institutions have an improved access to skilled labor in specific areas – which leads to an increased capacity in low- and middle-income countries to implement the 2030 Agenda. Within 1-3 years, the programme is expected to contribute to organisations in partner countries having improved access to a skilled and equal workforce in relevant areas. Within 3-5 years, the programme is expected to contribute to an increased capacity of low- and middle-income countries to implement the 2030 Agenda and thus contribute to global sustainable development Expected immediate results The performance-related effects are that these change agents, through a university education and participation in NFGP, gain knowledge, insights, tools and a larger network. That they gain contacts and exchange experiences with other change agents and that they are strengthened in their leadership skills. The immediate/performance-related effects are as follows: • Awarded scholarship holders undergo and complete their studies at advanced level in Sweden. • Individuals are given tools to better contribute to global development • Individuals gain contacts and exchange of experience with other change agents. Expected results 2025: The Swedish Institute scholarship programme should according to the governing Strategy for innovation, partnership and capacity development 2024–2028 strengthen the capacity of relevant actors who can contribute to sustainable development in development countries through education. A prerequisite for this is that the selected scholarship holders are qualified to carry out and complete qualitative education on master’s level at Swedish universities. After completed master’s studies in Sweden, the scholarship holders are expected to have strengthened their abilities and capacity to contribute to sustainable development. This through employment in key positions in the private sector, public sector, academia or civil society in their home countries and that they use the knowledge and competences they gained through studies in Sweden to address societal challenges through innovative and effective measures. Förväntade resultat 2024: Programmet i stort ska bidra till en global hållbar utveckling. Stipendiaterna förväntas använda sina kunskaper, insikter, verktyg och nätverk i arbetet för en hållbar utveckling där de befinner sig.

Results 2025: The Swedish Institute scholarship programme should strengthen the capacity of relevant actors who can contribute to sustainable development in development countries, through education. A prerequisite for this is that selected scholarship holders are qualified to carry out and complete qualitative education on master’s level in Sweden. 87% of the scholarship holders expected to graduate in 2025 have completed their studies. This year’s follow-up studies show that three years after completed studies 95% of the scholarship alumni consider the studies to have been relevant for their carrier and that 96% have been able to use the knowledge and competences from their studies in their carrier. Further, 91% of the scholarship alumni are working in a role that contributes to sustainable development. A Tracer study carried out during 2025 shows that 47% have returned home and hold meaningful positions in their home countries. One alumnus, has through his leading position at Ministry of Water Supply, Irrigation and Energy in Nepal been able to carry out 15 rural drinking water supply projects benefitting more than 2,200 households – where the knowledge and skills gained in Sweden have helped in achieving these results. Resultat 2024: Examensuppföljning Totalt har 84% slutfört sina studier, vilket är den högsta siffran sedan 2021. Värt att notera är att i återkopplingen från stipendiaterna som inte tagit examen så är det 18 som planerar att lämna in sina slutgiltiga uppgifter eller sin masteruppsats i december 2024. 24 meddelar att de planerar att slutföra sina studier under våren 2025.

Förväntade resultat 2024: Programmet i stort ska bidra till en global hållbar utveckling. Stipendiaterna förväntas använda sina kunskaper, insikter, verktyg och nätverk i arbetet för en hållbar utveckling där de befinner sig. På så sätt har organisationer/institutioner en förbättrad tillgång till kvalificerad arbetskraft inom särskilda områden – vilket leder till en ökad kapacitet i låg- och medel-inkomstländer att genomföra Agenda 2030. Inom 1–3 år förväntas programmet bidra till att organisationer i partnerländerna har förbättrad tillgång till kvalificerad och jämställd arbetskraft inom relevanta områden. Inom 3–5 år förväntas programmet bidra till en ökad kapacitet hos låg- och medelinkomstländer att genomföra Agenda 2030 och därmed bidra till en globalt hållbar utveckling Förväntade omedelbara resultat De prestationsnära effekterna är att dessa förändringsaktörer, genom en högskoleutbildning och deltagande i NFGP, får kunskaper, insikter, verktyg och ett större nätverk.

This is implemented within the framework of the government's strategy for Sweden's development and reform cooperation with Ukraine 2023–2027. SI operates within two overarching strategic goals (Goal. 3): Inclusive economic development, entrepreneurship and trade and (Goal 5): Human rights, democracy, rule of law and equality. SI's main target group is actors of change, which are defined as actors who have the long-term conditions to contribute to democratic and economic development in Ukraine. Both individuals and organizations can be agents of change. A major added value of working through project financing and open calls is that a breadth of the Swedish resource base can be mobilized and engaged. In this way, Swedish competence and experience can contribute to the development of Ukraine. The training program grant type is aimed at actors in Sweden and their cooperation partners in Ukraine (e.g. authorities, business actors, trade associations, academia, cultural industries and civil society in Sweden). The target groups for the program are in Ukraine. Training programs are expected to strengthen participating individuals as well as the organizations within which they operate. Projektstöd: SI Ukraine Cooperation Programme: Utbildningsprogram (Från och med 2025 kommer utbildningsprogrammen att samrapporteras med övriga finansieringformer under SI Ukraine Cooperation Programme, cooperation projects) Programmet SI Ukraine Cooperation Programme finansierar och möjliggör aktörssamverkan i projektform till stöd för Ukraina. Detta sker inom ramen för regeringens strategi för Sveriges uppbyggnads- och reformsamarbete med Ukraina 2023–2027. SI verkar inom två övergripande strategimål (mål 3): Inkluderande ekonomisk utveckling, företagande och handel samt (mål 5): Mänskliga rättigheter, demokrati, rättsstatens principer samt jämställdhet. SI:s huvudmålgrupp är förändringsaktörer, som definieras som aktörer som långsiktigt har förutsättningar att bidra till en demokratisk och ekonomisk utveckling i Ukraina. Såväl individer som organisationer kan vara förändringsaktörer. Ett stort mervärde av att jobba genom projektfinansiering och öppna utlysningar är att en bredd av den svenska resursbasen kan mobiliseras och engageras. På så sätt kan svensk kompetens och erfarenhet bidra till utvecklingen av Ukraina. Bidragstypen utbildningsprogram riktas till aktörer i Sverige och deras samarbetspartners i Ukraina (t.ex. myndigheter, näringslivsaktörer, branschorganisationer, akademi, kulturella branscher och civilsamhälle i Sverige). Målgrupperna för programmet befinner sig i Ukraina. Utbildningsprogram förväntas stärka såväl deltagande individer såväl som de organisationer som dessa verkar inom. OVERALL OBJECTIVES: Capacity-building funding program through the format of call for proposals of project support within operational objective 3.5 "Strong capacity to drive reconstruction and reform processes in Ukraine" and the intervention area "Support to actors to drive economic and democratic development". Expected results of the grant form: Training programs Immediate Expected Results: Projects that are granted support are expected to contribute to 1) strengthened capacity of organizations and new expanded partnerships/networks, 2) increased competence, incl. widened contact networks and new knowledge for individuals in line with the program's orientation and selected sub-goals. Program goals, expected long-term results: The goal is to strengthen the participants' skills to be able to work for reforms and development in economic and democratic development, which in turn contributes to Ukraine's opportunities for EU integration. ÖVERGRIPANDE MÅL: Kapacitetsstärkande finansieringsprogram genom utlysningsformat av projektstöd inom verksamhetsmål 3.5 ”Stärkt kapacitet att driva uppbyggnads och reformprocesser i Ukraina” och insatsområdet ”Stöd till aktörer att driva ekonomisk och demokratisk utveckling”. Förväntade resultat av bidragsformen Utbildningsprogram Omedelbara förväntade resultat: Projekt som beviljas stöd förväntas bidra till 1)stärkt kapacitet hos organisationer och nya breddade partnerskap/nätverk, 2)ökad kompetens, inkl. breddade kontaktnät och ny kunskap för individer i linje med programmets inriktning och valda delmål. Programmål, förväntade långsiktiga resultat: Målet är att stärka deltagarnas kompetens att kunna verka för reformer och utveckling inom ekonomisk och demokratisk utveckling som i sin tur bidrar till Ukrainas möjligheter till EU-integration.

SI funds visitor programmes as part of our work within the Swedish development cooperation strategy Strategy for Innovation, Partnership and Capacity Development 2024-2028. These programmes sets out to promote sustainable industrialization and foster innovation, thereby connecting to SDG9 goal in promoting sustainable and inclusive industrial growth and increasing research, technological capacity, and innovation. The programme also sets out to promote cross-sector collaboration between governments, the private sector, civil society, and international organizations, thereby building access to technology, innovation, and knowledge‑sharing to promote capacity building effective partnerships SDG17. In 2025, visitors programme activity took a starting point in the thematic of sustainable forestry and wood construction, industry sectors in which Sweden both has a strong heritage as well as strong modern day innovation capabilities. Based on this thematic the visitors programme Woodlife Business was developed, connecting key actors across local forestry and construction value in two programme countries, Türkiye and Thailand. The aim of the visitor programmes is to strengthen the participants' capacity and skills to nurture the growth and impact sustainable forestry and construction in wood in the local context as a way to reduce local climate footprint and promote the development of sustainable cities of the future. In doing so, the programme aims to contribute to long-term sustainable development and synergies with trade and business, in the form of new jobs and new solutions that promote sustainable development and economic growth. Administrativa kostnader för Besöksprogram Woodlife Business SI finansierar besöksprogram som en del av vårt arbete inom den svenska strategin för utvecklingssamarbete, Strategi för innovation, partnerskap och kapacitetsutveckling 2024–2028. Dessa program syftar till att främja hållbar industrialisering och stärka innovationsförmåga, och kopplar därmed till mål 9 i de globala målen genom att stödja hållbar och inkluderande industriell tillväxt samt stärka forskning, teknologisk kapacitet och innovation. Programmet syftar även till att främja sektorsövergripande samarbete mellan regeringar, näringsliv, civilsamhälle och internationella organisationer. På så sätt stärks tillgången till teknik, innovation och kunskapsdelning, vilket i sin tur bidrar till kapacitetsutveckling och effektiva partnerskap i linje med mål 17. Besöksprogram genomförs av Svenska Institutet med stöd av upphandlade programkonsulter, samt i samverkan med svenska organisationer och företag med expertis och erfarenhet inom tematiker knutna till svenska styrkeområden. 2025 utgick besöksprogram från det svenska styrkeområdet hållbart skogsbruk och byggande i trä, med erbjudande som riktade sig till nyckelpersoner verksamma inom lokala skogsvärdekedjor i programländerna. Genom besöksprogrammet var målet att erbjuda deltagarna kunskap, inspiration och ett nationellt nätverk som hjälper dem att utveckla sina organisationer och lokala ekosystem att bättre främja hållbart skogsbruk och byggande i trä, som ett led i att förebygga klimatrelaterade utmaningar. Deltagarna rekryterades av svenska utlandsmyndigheter i programländerna, med c:a 30 deltagare vardera till 2 besök. Deltagande finansierades inom Sveriges strategi för Innovation, Partnerskap och Kapacitetsutveckling.

The exchange promotes cross-sector collaboration between governments, the private sector, civil society, and international organizations and builds access to technology, innovation, and knowledge‑sharing to promote capacity building effective partnerships. Förädling av skogsråvara, bland annat genom byggande i trä, har potential att främja värdeskapande tillväxt och minskat klimatavtryck i framtidens hållbara städer. Ökad hållbarhet i skogs- och byggvärdekedjor påverkar således ett lands konkurrenskraft och produktivitet. Besöksprogrammet Woodlife Business genomförs Sveriges strategi för Innovation Partnerskap och Kapacitetsutveckling som bland annat betonar mål relaterade till ekonomisk utveckling, utbildning, handel och grön omställning i världen. Programmet 2025 riktade sig särskilt till aktörer verksamma inom skogsvärdekedjan och byggsektorn och som sammantaget kan bidra till att stärka grogrund, tillväxt och genomslag för hållbart skogsbruk och byggande i trä. Programmet är utformat för att stärka förutsättningarna för att målgruppen når framgång i sitt arbete med att främja hållbart skogsbruk och byggande i trä, något som i sin tur kan bidra till jobbskapande, handel och grön omställning. Genom utbildning, kapacitetsstärkande aktiviteter och ett nationellt nätverk skapas vidare förutsättningar för lokala partnerskap, vilket i sin tur hjälper deltagarna att samverka efter programmet och tillsammans öka sin positiva samhällspåverkan. Genom programmet stärks deltagarnas kunskap, inspiration och nätverk inom hållbart skogsbruk och byggande i trä, vilket syftar till att främja utvecklingen av hållbart skogsbruk och byggande i trä i programländerna. Genom hållbart skogsbruk och byggande i trä, kan vidare nya arbetstillfällen och hållbar ekonomisk tillväxt. Sweden Swedish Institute Swedish Institute +46 8 453 78 00 si@si.se www.si.se Slottsbacken 10, Box 7434. 103 91 Stockholm Developing countries, unspecified Administrative costs (non-sector allocable) Administrative Costs of Donors The activities were carried out by the Swedish Institute with the support of the Swedish Forestry Agency, as well as in collaboration with Swedish organizations and companies with expertise and experience in themes linked to the programme thematic. Participants for the programmes were recruited with the support from Swedish foreign missions abroad in the programme countries, with about a group of around 30 participants for each of the 2 delegation visits (one per country). Delegation visits for Türkiye were carried out in April with activities in Stockholm and Skellefteå, for Thailand with activities in Stockholm and Växjö in November. Activities during the week focused on study visits and practical exchanges with Swedish actors along the entire forest value chain, from forestry and processing of raw materials to the end product in the form of completed buildings in wood. What effects have we observed so far of the activities within the strategy ? Survey results for the Woodlife Business visitor programme show thatthe short-term and performance-related goals of strengthening knowledge, inspiration and networks among the participants have been achieved. An analysis of the survey results shows an overall positive result from the participants in both Türkiye and Thailand in terms of their evaluation of the programme's contribution of knowledge, inspiration and networks. For the statement "The experience has offered me new knowledge", the results show that most of the participants in both Türkiye (87%) and Thailand (100%) agree that they have gained new knowledge through their participation. The proportion that strongly agrees with varies between Türkiye 56.6% and Thailand 94.7%, which means that the delegation from Thailand has experienced the greatest benefit, in terms of new knowledge. As for the statement "The experience has offered me inspiration to drive change and sustainable development", the numbers are even stronger. An overwhelming majority of respondents in Türkiye (91.3%) and Thailand (100%) express agreement, with a very large proportion strongly agreeing (Türkiye 69.6%, Thailand 94.7%). This suggests that the experience has been not only informative but also inspiring, which is assumed to have a long-term positive effect on participants' engagement and contribution to local sustainable development. Finally, regarding the statement "The experience has offered me new network and relations to peer participants that will benefit my work" (/..."to Swedish organisations that will benefit my work), the results show that the participants feel that they have established value-creating relationships both with other programme participants and with Swedish organisations. For the claim of a positive value of networking with other program participants from the home country, the consensus is high in both Türkiye and Thailand with a large proportion agreeing in both Türkiye (73.9%, of which 47.8% strongly agree) and Thailand (100%, of which 89.5% strongly agree) Also for the claim of a positive value of networks with participating Swedish companies and the organization, the consensus is high in both Türkiye (77.6%) and Thailand (100%) with a large proportion strongly agreeing (Türkiye 43.5% and Thailand 78.9%). Overall, the figures show the experience has been successful in promoting a perceived valuable networking, which is crucial for self-sustaining relationships even after the end of the program. A trend of high optimism continues through final questions, such as an estimate of the likelihood of doing business with Swedish companies as an outcome of the program, where 69.6% of participants from Türkiye, and 68.4% of participants from Thailand answer "YES". Changes from the previous year and Long-term effects The short-term and performance-related results of programme activities for 2025 show no major differences with the previous year during the strategy period. In the spring of 2027, the program's first 1-year follow-up will be carried out, with participants from the 2024 program round. Impacts, such as new self-sustaining partnerships and collaborations, developed as a result of the programme need to be determined. The follow-up also provides an opportunity to investigate whether expected results have been achieved and also to take into account unexpected results and any undesirable results, including results further out in the impact chain. After the first 1-year follow-up has been studied, lessons learned will be compiled how the activities have contributed to strengthening knowledge, inspiration and networks that promote local fertile ground, growth and impact for entrepreneurship, as part of contributing to sustainable development and synergies with trade and business, in the form of new jobs and to new solutions that promote sustainable economic growth. Lessons learned Similar activities will not be carried out in 2026. Is there any central lesson about the target groups, which affects how SI will work in the future? A 1-year follow-up is planned, which will form the basis for decisions on a possible further development of SI's implementation of visit programs funded within the Strategy for Innovation, Partnership and Capacity Development 2024-2028. Enkätresultat visar att satsningens kortsiktiga mål att stärka kunskap, inspiration och nätverk bland deltagarna uppnåtts. För påståendet "The experience has offered me new knowledge", visar resultaten att en majoritet av deltagarna i både Turkiet (87%) och Thailand (100%) håller med om att de har fått ny kunskap. Andelen som Starkt håller med varierar mellan Turkiet 56,6% och Thailand 94,7% vilket medför slutledningen delegationen från Thailand upplevt den allra största behållningen, vad gäller ny kunskap. När det gäller påståendet "The experience has offered me inspiration to drive change and sustainable development", är siffrorna ännu starkare. En överväldigande majoritet av deltagarna i Turkiet (91,3%) och Thailand (100%) uttrycker enighet, med en mycket stor andel som Starkt håller med (Turkiet 69,6%, Thailand 94,7 %). Detta tyder på att upplevelsen inte bara har varit informativ utan också inspirerande, vilket antas ha en långsiktigt positiv effekt på deltagarnas engagemang och bidrag till lokal hållbar utveckling. Slutligen, beträffande påståendet ”The experience has offered me new network and relations to peer participants that will benefit my work” (/…”to Swedish organisations that will benefit my work), visar resultaten att deltagarna känner att de har etablerat värdeskapande relationer både med övriga programdeltagare och med svenska organisationer. För påståendet om ett positivt värde av nätverk med övriga programdeltagare från hemlandet, är enigheten hög i både Turkiet och Thailand med en stor andel som håller med i både Turkiet (73,9%, varav 47,8% Starkt håller med) och Thailand (100%, varav 89,5% Starkt håller med). Även för påståendet om ett positivt värde av nätverk med deltagande svenska företag och organisationen är enigheten hög i både Turkiet (77,6%) och Thailand (100%) med en stor andel som Starkt håller med (Turkiet 43,5% resp Thailand 78,9%). Sammantaget visar siffrorna upplevelsen har varit framgångsrik i att främja ett upplevt värdefullt nätverksbyggande, vilket är avgörande för självbärande relationer också efter programavslut. En trend av hög optimism fortsätter genom slutliga frågor, såsom en uppskattning av sannolikhet för affärer med svenska företag som ett utfall av programmet, där 69,6% av deltagarna från Turkiet, och 68,4% av deltagarna från Thailand svarar “JA”.

Based on this thematic the visitors programme Woodlife Business was developed, connecting key actors across local forestry and construction value in two programme countries, Türkiye and Thailand. The fact that Thailand and Türkiye were selected has an explanation: the embassies in those countries have turned to the SI and requested support in implementing a visitor program. Both embassies have been working with the Woodlife Sweden exhibition for several years, and in connection with the exhibition being shown, they have – particularly the embassy in Nairobi – promoted the issue of transitioning to timber construction through receptions, breakfast seminars, and other types of events. The networks of stakeholders in Thailand and Türkiye that have been established through this work are now the focus of a visitor program organized by SI, partly to enable them to learn from and be inspired by Swedish experiences, and partly to explore whether there are concrete collaboration opportunities between Swedish and Thai, as well as Turkish, actors. The aim of the visitor programmes is to strengthen the participants' capacity and skills to nurture the growth and impact sustainable forestry and construction in wood in the local context as a way to reduce local climate footprint and promote the development of sustainable cities of the future. In doing so, the programme aims to contribute to long-term sustainable development and synergies with trade and business, in the form of new jobs and new solutions that promote sustainable development and economic growth.

År 2025 utgick verksamheten inom besöksprogrammet från temat hållbart skogsbruk och träbyggande – industrisektorer där Sverige både har ett starkt arv och en hög innovationsförmåga i nutid. Utifrån detta tema utvecklades besöksprogrammet Woodlife Business, som knyter samman centrala aktörer inom de lokala värdekedjorna för skogsbruk och byggnation i två programländer: Türkiye och Thailand. Att det blev just Thailand och Turkiet har sin förklaring i att de ambassaderna har vänt sig till SI och efterfrågat stöd i genomförandet av ett besöksprogram. Båda ambassaden har arbetat med utställningen Woodlife Sweden sedan flera år tillbaka och i samband med att utställningen har visats har de, i synnerhet ambassaden i Nairboi, drivit frågan omställning till träbyggande i samband med mottagningar, frukostseminarier och andra typer av evenemang. Det nätverk av aktörer i Thailand respektive Turkiet som då har etablerats i båda länderna har SI ordnat ett besöksprogram för, dels för att lära sig/inspireras av svenska erfarenheter dels för att undersöka om det finns konkreta samarbetsmöjligheter för svenska och thailändska respektive turkiska aktörer. 2025 utgick besöksprogram från det svenska styrkeområdet hållbart skogsbruk och byggande i trä, med erbjudande som riktade sig till nyckelpersoner verksamma inom lokala skogsvärdekedjor i programländerna.

Utifrån detta tema utvecklades besöksprogrammet Woodlife Business, som knyter samman centrala aktörer inom de lokala värdekedjorna för skogsbruk och byggnation i två programländer: Türkiye och Thailand. Att det blev just Thailand och Turkiet har sin förklaring i att de ambassaderna har vänt sig till SI och efterfrågat stöd i genomförandet av ett besöksprogram. Båda ambassaden har arbetat med utställningen Woodlife Sweden sedan flera år tillbaka och i samband med att utställningen har visats har de, i synnerhet ambassaden i Nairboi, drivit frågan omställning till träbyggande i samband med mottagningar, frukostseminarier och andra typer av evenemang. Det nätverk av aktörer i Thailand respektive Turkiet som då har etablerats i båda länderna har SI ordnat ett besöksprogram för, dels för att lära sig/inspireras av svenska erfarenheter dels för att undersöka om det finns konkreta samarbetsmöjligheter för svenska och thailändska respektive turkiska aktörer. 2025 utgick besöksprogram från det svenska styrkeområdet hållbart skogsbruk och byggande i trä, med erbjudande som riktade sig till nyckelpersoner verksamma inom lokala skogsvärdekedjor i programländerna. Genom besöksprogrammet var målet att erbjuda deltagarna kunskap, inspiration och ett nationellt nätverk som hjälper dem att utveckla sina organisationer och lokala ekosystem att bättre främja hållbart skogsbruk och byggande i trä, som ett led i att förebygga klimatrelaterade utmaningar. Deltagarna rekryterades av svenska utlandsmyndigheter i programländerna, med c:a 30 deltagare vardera till 2 besök. Deltagande finansierades inom Sveriges strategi för Innovation, Partnerskap och Kapacitetsutveckling Common strategic objective: The Swedish Institute's activities shall contribute to the following objectives: Strengthened capacity and competence of actors in the private and public sectors, academia and civil society in developing countries, to work for innovative and effective methods for sustainable development, including through synergies with trade and industry. GOAL 9: The activity promotes sustainable industrialization and fosters innovation. Connecting to SDG9 goal in promoting sustainable and inclusive industrial growth and increasing research, technological capacity, and innovation. Overall, the activity sets out to strengthen the foundations needed for long‑term economic growth, competitiveness, and sustainable development. GOAL 17: In strengthening international partnership this activity sets out to strengthening the global partnerships needed to achieve all the Sustainable Development Goals. The exchange promotes cross-sector collaboration between governments, the private sector, civil society, and international organizations and builds access to technology, innovation, and knowledge‑sharing to promote capacity building effective partnerships. Förädling av skogsråvara, bland annat genom byggande i trä, har potential att främja värdeskapande tillväxt och minskat klimatavtryck i framtidens hållbara städer. Ökad hållbarhet i skogs- och byggvärdekedjor påverkar således ett lands konkurrenskraft och produktivitet. Besöksprogrammet Woodlife Business genomförs Sveriges strategi för Innovation Partnerskap och Kapacitetsutveckling som bland annat betonar mål relaterade till ekonomisk utveckling, utbildning, handel och grön omställning i världen. Programmet 2025 riktade sig särskilt till aktörer verksamma inom skogsvärdekedjan och byggsektorn och som sammantaget kan bidra till att stärka grogrund, tillväxt och genomslag för hållbart skogsbruk och byggande i trä. Programmet är utformat för att stärka förutsättningarna för att målgruppen når framgång i sitt arbete med att främja hållbart skogsbruk och byggande i trä, något som i sin tur kan bidra till jobbskapande, handel och grön omställning. Genom utbildning, kapacitetsstärkande aktiviteter och ett nationellt nätverk skapas vidare förutsättningar för lokala partnerskap, vilket i sin tur hjälper deltagarna att samverka efter programmet och tillsammans öka sin positiva samhällspåverkan. Genom programmet stärks deltagarnas kunskap, inspiration och nätverk inom hållbart skogsbruk och byggande i trä, vilket syftar till att främja utvecklingen av hållbart skogsbruk och byggande i trä i programländerna. Genom hållbart skogsbruk och byggande i trä, kan vidare nya arbetstillfällen och hållbar ekonomisk tillväxt.

During 2017 in total eleven sites all over the country have been inspected, a significant number of radioactive sources collected, characterized and transported to the National Radioactive Waste Management Company, Special Facilities 5101, 5102 for classification and storage. The methodology elaborated by the James Martin Center for Non proliferation Studies to use media tools to locate and track radiological sources was widely applied in this work. This project significantly improves the securing of radiological materials to avoid risks for public safety and risks for using these materials for malicious purposes.

A National Strategy for Radioactive Waste Management and an Action Plan for 2017-2026 was elaborated and agreed with the Government of Moldova. One important goal of SSM’s support project is to increase the capacity of NARNRA and the Radioactive Waste Management Company`s Special Facilities 5101 and 5102 regarding infrastructure development in radioactive waste management, waste handling and treatment. As part of this project the Radioactive Waste Management Company has developed a site descriptive model for the near-surface Radon-type disposal facility and its surroundings that will serve as a basis for developing a radiological safety assessment. The site descriptive model will comprise a compilation and interpretation of existing geoscientific and meteorological data, waste properties and inventory of the disposal facility as well as data from new geoscientific and radiological measurements. The radiological safety assessment of the disposal facility will continue in 2018. The assessment will address potential future radiological consequences of the disposal facility, i.e. the consequences of migration of various radionuclides for staff, population and the environment, for the case where the disposal facility will remain as before (the zero Alternative scenario). The safety assessment will also provide a basis for developing an on-site and off-site monitoring program and support the planning of possible future decommissioning of the disposal facility. SSM has also started a project on development of the legal and regulatory framework related to radioactive waste management by providing expert advice to NARNRA, review regulatory documents and facilitate national meetings and workshops related to issues of radioactive waste management in Moldova.

Within the framework of this support the Nuclear Security Support Centre (NSSC) at the Technical University of Moldova was opened in 2014. In 2017 SSM continued its support to the improvement of NSSC teaching and technical training base. The NSSC training laboratory was supplemented with radiation detection and measuring equipment. NSSCE experts modified curriculum on nuclear safety, and radiation protection, introducing a new component on nuclear safety-safeguards-nonproliferation interference. This new educational component was included and tested in the national training courses at NSSC for relevant staff of medical institutions of Moldova. NSSC organized a one-day seminar on radiological and nuclear safety issues for students with an invited French expert.

Their unparalleled ability to take-off at a moment’s notice, make rapid but highly-controlled turns or home in on small prey or territorial interlopers has ensured their continued mastery over the aerial habitat. To carry out rapid modulations of their wing kinematics, often at frequencies of a few hundred beats per second, insect nervous systems need rapid sensory updates of their flight trajectory. This information is acquired by various sensors distributed over their body including vision, and mechanosensation. Through this collaborative effort, we hope to extend previous studies on the role of individual sensory modalities in flight behavior to now include multiple sensory modalities. The Indian collaborator, Sanjay Sane, has previously studied physics and the mechanosensory control of insect flight, and the Swedish collaborator, Marie Dacke, has worked on the visual modality with special focus on behavioral and physiological aspects of low-light level responses in insects and spiders. Through close exchanges between each laboratory, we aim to combine our expertise in vision and mechanosensation to address how insect brains combine and process information from diverse sensory modalities to generate their spectacular flight repertoire. The secrets of the aerial acrobats The aerobatic maneuvers of insects have long fascinated scientists and engineers alike. The unparalleled ability of the insects to take-off at a moment’s notice, make rapid but highly controlled turns or home in on small prey naturally requires rapid modulations of flight. For this, insect nervous systems require equally rapid sensory updates of their flight trajectory. Various sensors distributed over their body provide the nervous system with this information. One challenge that the insects faces involves integrating and processing the sensory feedback from various modalities as it arrives at the brain with varying time delays. For instance, mechanosensory information is usually transduced rapidly, whereas visual information is slower. Thus, although the input from mechanosensory modalities is available to the insect well in advance of the next wing stroke, the simultaneous visual input may not be available until a few strokes later. How does an insect process two or more sensory inputs with different latencies during flight? How do these latencies influence the time it takes for an insect to respond to each stimulus? These are only two of many questions that we seek to answer within this project. Through an international collaborative effort, we hope to extend our work on the role of individual sensory modalities in flight behavior to now include multiple sensory modalities. The Indian collaborator, Sanjay Sane, has previously studied physics and the mechanosensory control of insect flight, and the Swedish collaborator, Marie Dacke, has worked on the visual modality with special focus on behavioral and physiological aspects of low-light level responses in insects and spiders. Through close interactions between each laboratory, we aim to combine our expertise in vision and mechanosensation to jointly address how insect brains combine and process information from diverse sensory modalities to generate their spectacular flight repertoire. We will focus on maneuvers such as take-offs, sharp turns and landing behaviors that require rapid input. These maneuvers challenge the nervous system to work within the limitations of their sensory latencies. The main tool to record their behaviour will be high-speed videography. Using this set-up, we can recording the flying insects at temporal resolutions below a tenth of a millisecond, sufficient to observe how their kinematics vary from one wing stroke to another. From these recordings we can quantify and characterize how varying visual and mechanosensory feedback influences the different flight behaviors. For example, our previous data suggests that bees crash into a transparent wall placed in their path under bright light conditions, but are able to land on the wall under very dim light. Do insects change their flight strategy based on the feedback it can process better? Because our high speed video cameras are infra-red sensitive, we can film the insects flying also under low visible light. Our approach to the sensory control of flight is novel because we will also compare each behavior across different insect orders. This will help us to understand how insects with vastly different sensory and aerodynamic properties coordinate the complex behaviors necessary for flight, and uncover generalities in their behavioral strategies. From a flight dynamics perspective, the insects we will study encompass diverse qualitative traits. Flies are highly agile flyers capable of sharp, rapid turns in minimal space whereas bumblebees are relatively slower, but can execute controlled landing on swaying flowers. Butterfly flight is erratic, but they can navigate past obstacles and feed from various flowers. Beetle wings are covered by the hard and protective forewing, whose role in flight control remains unstudied. From a visual perspective, our study animals above also include nocturnal and diurnal species with widely varying eye morphology.

Our approach to the sensory control of flight is novel because we will also compare each behavior across different insect orders. This will help us to understand how insects with vastly different sensory and aerodynamic properties coordinate the complex behaviors necessary for flight, and uncover generalities in their behavioral strategies. From a flight dynamics perspective, the insects we will study encompass diverse qualitative traits. Flies are highly agile flyers capable of sharp, rapid turns in minimal space whereas bumblebees are relatively slower, but can execute controlled landing on swaying flowers. Butterfly flight is erratic, but they can navigate past obstacles and feed from various flowers. Beetle wings are covered by the hard and protective forewing, whose role in flight control remains unstudied. From a visual perspective, our study animals above also include nocturnal and diurnal species with widely varying eye morphology.

Development of rapid and real-time imaging methods for safety and quality measurements of food products. Near infrared (NIR) hyperspectral imaging integrates conventional digital imaging and NIR spectroscopy to attain information in two directions (both spatial and spectral) from an object or sample. This allows to tell not only how much of a compound might be present but also where it might be located within the sample. During this project NIR hyperspectral imaging will be used to detect faults in grains before it becomes visible to the human eye. Using pre-germinated barley during malting costs the South African brewing industry millions of Rands each year due to loss in quality. Being able to detect these pre-germinated grains early on will be of great advantage to the industry. Similary methods will be developed to detect spices that has been adulterated by adding cheaper ingredients such as milled bran to ground mixed spices. This will protect the consumer. Mathematical models will be developed that would allow the use of NIR hyperspectral imaging in industry. To be able to use this technique on-line, real-time methods will also be developed for these two applications. The mathematical models needed to be developed for this will allow fast measurement and calculation of results. These analysis are, however, only in two dimensions. To allow evaluations to be made three dimensionally, thin slices of grain samples, infected with a fungus, will be imaged and the images obtained put together mathematically to form a 3-D image. This would allow precise localisation of infection within a 3-D sample.

The epidemic of type 2 diabetes and coronary heart diseases in South Asia is nested into societies where woman and child malnutrition still is prevalent. There is a need to move on to trials that evaluate short- and long-term effects of enhanced maternal and foetal nutrition. In the MINIMat prenatal nutrition trial in Bangladesh (4436 pregnant women, 3625 live births) we have shown 66% reduction of under-five mortality by an early timing of prenatal food supplementation if combined with multiple micronutrients. An early initiation (vs. usual timing) of prenatal food supplementation resulted in less stunting 0-5 yrs and a more favourable lipid profile at 5 yrs, while prenatal multiple micronutrients (vs. iron-folate) was linked to more stunting, lower IGF1 and insulin levels. In a follow-up at 10 years (year 2012-14, approximately 2325 children remaining in the study area) we propose assessment of risk indicators of metabolic syndrome (biomarkers, blood pressure, anthropometry, body composition) and micronutrient status that could allow for further analysis of favourable and unfavourable effects by the prenatal nutrition interventions, tracking and clustering of metabolic risk indicators up to pre-puberty, and an analysis up to that point of the public health impact of these combined nutrition interventions. Effekter av tidigt kostsupplement och multipla mikronäringsämnen under graviditet på riskindikatorer för metabolt syndrom hos 10 år gamla barn. En uppföljning av MINIMat studien i Matlab, Bangladesh. I djurstudier och epidemiologiska studier i hög- och låginkomstländer har man sett ett samband mellan storlek vid födelsen, den tidiga nutritionen och långsiktig hälsa och överlevnad. I Sydasien och andra länder i snabb utveckling pågår en epidemi av typ 2 diabetes och hjärtkärlsjukdom mot en fond av fattigdom och undernäring hos mödrar och barn. Det är starkt motiverat att initiera interventioner som förbättrar nutritionen för mödrar och foster, och att följa upp för att mäta de kortsiktiga liksom de långsiktiga effekterna. Är det möjligt att på ett gynnsamt sätt påverka hälsan också på lång sikt genom en förbättrad nutrition under graviditeten? MINIMat (Maternal and Infant Nutrition Interventions in Matlab) är en randomiserad interventionsstudie i ett landsbygdsområde i Bangladesh där 4436 gravida kvinnor slumpmässigt inbjöds till en tidig eller en senare (standardprogram) start av daglig kostsupplementering (600 kcal) och dessutom randomiserades till tre alternativa supplementeringar med mikronäringsämnen, inklusive standardprogrammet med järn och folsyra samt ett supplement med 15 mikronäringsämnen inkl. järn och folsyra. Vi har visat att dödligheten hos de 3625 levande födda barnen sänktes med 66% av en tidig initiering av kostsupplementeringen om den kombinerades med supplementering med multipla mikronäringsämnen. En tidig start av kostsupplementeringen resulterade också i en lägre frekvens av kortvuxenhet upp till 5 år och ett mer gynnsamt blodfettsmönster vid 5 år. Supplementeringen med multipla mikronäringsämnen var däremot förbunden med högre frekvens av kortvuxenhet och en korresponderande biomarkör, IGF1, som var lägre liksom insulinnivåerna. Vi planerar nu en uppföljning vid 10 års ålder (inträffar 2012-14) av de 2325 barn som beräknas bo kvar i området, där vi föreslår mätning av riskindikatorer för metabolt syndrom (biomarkörer, blodtryck, antropometri, kroppssammanstättning) och bestämning av mikronäringsämnen i blodprov. Detta kan ge underlag för att analysera gynnsamma och ogynnsamma konsekvenser av nutritionsinterventionerna, utvecklingen av dessa riskindikatorer över tid, samvariation av dessa faktorer, och en sammanvägd analys av effekter och konsekvenser av dessa kombinerade nutritionsinterventioner i ett folkhälsoperspektiv.

I djurstudier och epidemiologiska studier i hög- och låginkomstländer har man sett ett samband mellan storlek vid födelsen, den tidiga nutritionen och långsiktig hälsa och överlevnad. I Sydasien och andra länder i snabb utveckling pågår en epidemi av typ 2 diabetes och hjärtkärlsjukdom mot en fond av fattigdom och undernäring hos mödrar och barn. Det är starkt motiverat att initiera interventioner som förbättrar nutritionen för mödrar och foster, och att följa upp för att mäta de kortsiktiga liksom de långsiktiga effekterna. Är det möjligt att på ett gynnsamt sätt påverka hälsan också på lång sikt genom en förbättrad nutrition under graviditeten? MINIMat (Maternal and Infant Nutrition Interventions in Matlab) är en randomiserad interventionsstudie i ett landsbygdsområde i Bangladesh där 4436 gravida kvinnor slumpmässigt inbjöds till en tidig eller en senare (standardprogram) start av daglig kostsupplementering (600 kcal) och dessutom randomiserades till tre alternativa supplementeringar med mikronäringsämnen, inklusive standardprogrammet med järn och folsyra samt ett supplement med 15 mikronäringsämnen inkl. järn och folsyra. Vi har visat att dödligheten hos de 3625 levande födda barnen sänktes med 66% av en tidig initiering av kostsupplementeringen om den kombinerades med supplementering med multipla mikronäringsämnen. En tidig start av kostsupplementeringen resulterade också i en lägre frekvens av kortvuxenhet upp till 5 år och ett mer gynnsamt blodfettsmönster vid 5 år. Supplementeringen med multipla mikronäringsämnen var däremot förbunden med högre frekvens av kortvuxenhet och en korresponderande biomarkör, IGF1, som var lägre liksom insulinnivåerna. Vi planerar nu en uppföljning vid 10 års ålder (inträffar 2012-14) av de 2325 barn som beräknas bo kvar i området, där vi föreslår mätning av riskindikatorer för metabolt syndrom (biomarkörer, blodtryck, antropometri, kroppssammanstättning) och bestämning av mikronäringsämnen i blodprov. Detta kan ge underlag för att analysera gynnsamma och ogynnsamma konsekvenser av nutritionsinterventionerna, utvecklingen av dessa riskindikatorer över tid, samvariation av dessa faktorer, och en sammanvägd analys av effekter och konsekvenser av dessa kombinerade nutritionsinterventioner i ett folkhälsoperspektiv.

The major variant antigen, PfEMP1, is expressed at the erythrocyte surface where it acts as a virulence adhesion molecule bringing about severe malaria through accumulation of infected and uninfected erythrocytes in the micro-vasculature. We hypothesize that subgroups of cross-reactive PfEMP1 sequences are recognized by the immune-system and that certain antibodies are key in the protection against severe malaria. In this proposal we suggest to identify specific structures in PfEMP1 that induce broad and potent antibodies inhibiting sequestration in severe malaria. In our approach to achieve this ambitious goal, we will develop new methods for the identification of surface exposed epitopes, cross-reactivities between epitopes and receptor-binding structures in PfEMP1. This will be accomplished in five parallel discovery programs and in one for validation including isolation of I) antibodies to PfEMP1, II) cross-reactive IgG on random- and specific peptide libraries, III) human memory B cells/ antibodies, IV) fresh isolates from Uganda and V) creation of a super cross-reactive epitope. Candidate structures will be validated using state-of-the-art methods to investigate the specificity, quality and quantity of immunity to PfEMP1.

Närmare en tredjedel av jordens befolkning är smittade och 2 miljoner dör varje år i sjukdomen. Trots vaccination, effektiv antibiotikabehandling och förbättrade socioekonomiska förhållanden, ökar sjukdomen idag. En orsak är urbaniseringen i fr.a.

Aktivering av makrofager via apoptotiska celler skulle kunna vara ett effektivt sätt att under det tidiga infektionsförloppet stoppa infektionen. På basen av dessa grundläggande studier, genomför vi kliniska studier i Etiopien, där vi utvecklar strategier för att förstärk immunförsvaret hos patienter med tuberkulos. Vi har tidigare visat att tillskott av aminosyran arginin påskyndar tillfrisknandet hos patienter med TB. Detta beror på an ökad lokal produktion av NO. Aktuella studier visar vidare att samtidig HIV/TB infektion stör bildningen av NO i lungan, vilket ökar känsligheten för infektion.

Crowded refugee camps and environmental catastrophes e.g flooding and earth quakes often results in rapid spreading of diarrhoea and other infectious diseases if water sanitation cannot be controlled. Hence we need to understand how pathogens can survive and spread in water. The aim of this project is to determine how diarrhoea pathogenic bacteria survive in water and how water transmission affects virulence. The hypothesis, based on pilot studies, is that bacteria in water survive and retain expression of certain genes required for survival, transmission and virulence even after long exposure in water. The essential genes will be identified and analysed to understand water-borne bacterial transmission. Determination of the transcriptome in the water-borne pathogens enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) and Vibrio cholerae in water by Illumina RNAseq analyses and comparison to the transcriptome under laboratory conditions and during dissemination from the host in diarrhoea samples will identify the specific water-induced transcriptome as well as the virulence transcriptome. The function of essential genes will be analysed by mutagenesis. Results will give a general understanding of dissemination of water borne infections and bacterial survival and virulence and may open up for novel strategies for prevention of water-borne bacterial diarrhoea. Hur kan sjukdomsframkallande bakterier överleva långa perioder i dricksvatten och orsaka sjukdom hos barn och vuxna som dricker infekterat vatten? Kontaminerat dricksvatten är en vanlig källa till infektion i utvecklingsländer. Vi har tidigare visar att den diarreframkallande bakterien enterotoxigen Escherichia coli (ETEC) finns i dricksvatten och överlever i vatten i flera månader med intakt cellmembran och med en aktiv transkription av vissa men inte alla gener. Opublicerade data har också visat att ETEC kan kolonisera möss efter 3 månaders vatteninkubering. Många diarrépatogener anses vara vattenburna inklusive den mest kända bakterien Vibrio cholerae som orsakar kolera och som blivit känd nu senast genom utbrotten på Haiti. Våra och andras resultat indikerar att diarreframkallande bakterier kan ligga tysta i vattenkällor under mycket lång tid och att de sedan kan orsaka sjukdom hos människor som dricker vattnet. Men hur bakterierna kan överleva i näringsfattigt dricksvatten under så lång tid är ännu inte utrett. För att undersöka detta avser vi nu att med sekvensering i samarbete med forskare i Kina och Bangladesh studera alla gener som vatteninkuberade ETEC och V. cholerae uttrycker i vatten, diarré och i laboratoriet med hjälp av Illumina RNAseq sekvensering där man kan sekvensbestämma alla gener som uttrycks i ett prov samtidigt; transkriptomet. Syftet med studien är att förstå vilka gener som ETEC och V. cholerae reglerar för att kunna överleva i vatten under lång tid samt att bestämma hur de kan behålla sin infektionsförmåga. Resultaten kommer att ge generell kunskap om vattenburen bakteriell smitta som kan användas för att hindra spridning av vattenburna patogener.

Crowded refugee camps and environmental catastrophes e.g flooding and earth quakes often results in rapid spreading of diarrhoea and other infectious diseases if water sanitation cannot be controlled. Hence we need to understand how pathogens can survive and spread in water. The aim of this project is to determine how diarrhoea pathogenic bacteria survive in water and how water transmission affects virulence. The hypothesis, based on pilot studies, is that bacteria in water survive and retain expression of certain genes required for survival, transmission and virulence even after long exposure in water. The essential genes will be identified and analysed to understand water-borne bacterial transmission. Determination of the transcriptome in the water-borne pathogens enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) and Vibrio cholerae in water by Illumina RNAseq analyses and comparison to the transcriptome under laboratory conditions and during dissemination from the host in diarrhoea samples will identify the specific water-induced transcriptome as well as the virulence transcriptome. The function of essential genes will be analysed by mutagenesis. Results will give a general understanding of dissemination of water borne infections and bacterial survival and virulence and may open up for novel strategies for prevention of water-borne bacterial diarrhoea. Hur kan sjukdomsframkallande bakterier överleva långa perioder i dricksvatten och orsaka sjukdom hos barn och vuxna som dricker infekterat vatten? Kontaminerat dricksvatten är en vanlig källa till infektion i utvecklingsländer. Vi har tidigare visar att den diarreframkallande bakterien enterotoxigen Escherichia coli (ETEC) finns i dricksvatten och överlever i vatten i flera månader med intakt cellmembran och med en aktiv transkription av vissa men inte alla gener. Opublicerade data har också visat att ETEC kan kolonisera möss efter 3 månaders vatteninkubering. Många diarrépatogener anses vara vattenburna inklusive den mest kända bakterien Vibrio cholerae som orsakar kolera och som blivit känd nu senast genom utbrotten på Haiti. Våra och andras resultat indikerar att diarreframkallande bakterier kan ligga tysta i vattenkällor under mycket lång tid och att de sedan kan orsaka sjukdom hos människor som dricker vattnet.

Transmission of HCAIs from patients, visitors and staff may lead to outbreaks and spread to the community. Treatment of HCAI is complicated due to high prevalence of antimicrobial resistant pathogen and health-care facilities can act as amplifiers of the outbreaks. Previous studies in Ethiopia indicated up to 59% of patients attending the surgical ward at Tikur Anbessa University Hospital (TAH) acquired HCAI. Antimicrobial resistance and HCAIs is a major problem in Ethiopia. The present study aims to perform the first controlled intervention testing in the country through capacity building & knowledge transfer for prevention of HCAIs and antimicrobial resistance. A three-phase prospective interventional study will be conducted at TAH, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. First baseline survey will be done to identify prevalence, severity, etiology, spread pattern, risk factors for HCAIs, antibiotic use &, resistance, knowledge and attitudes of healthcare staff. In the 2nd phase, educational interventions will be introduced based on the gap and problems identified. In the 3rd phase we will evaluate the impact of intervention.

Vårdrelaterade infektioner (VRI) drabbar patient till följd av vård, undersökning eller behandling inom hälso- och sjukvård eller tandvård oavsett om det sjukdomsalstrande ämnet tillförs i samband med vården eller härrör från patienten själv samt oavsett om infektionstillståndet yppas under eller efter vårdtillfället.

VRI är ett av de viktigaste hoten mot patientsäkerheten konstaterades i rapporten *Patientsäkerhet och patientsäkerhetsarbete*. Dessa problem är i länder med låg sjukdomsstandard enligt sporadiska rapporter än avsevärt större om än dåligt undersökt. Överföring av VRI från tidigare patienter, besökare och personal kan leda till utbrott och spridas ut till samhället. Behandling av VRI är komplicerat på grund av hög förekomst av multiresistenta bakterier (MRB) och hälso- och omsorg kan fungera som förstärkare av utbrott, öka antalet nya fall. Tidigare studier i Etiopien har visat att upp till 59% av patienterna på en kirurgavdelning vid Tikur Anbessa sjukhus, fick en vårdrelaterad sårinfektion framförallt av multiresistenta gramnegativa bakterier . En hög andel (63%) av vårdrelaterade urinvägsinfektioner orsakades av MRB vid samma sjukhus. Flera studier visat att antibiotikaresistens och VRI är ett stort problem i Etiopien, har ingen interventionsstudie för att förebygga dessa infektioner har hittills genomförts. Det är tydligt visat att många VRI kan förebyggas genom övervakning och olika interventions program. Antimikrobiell resistens är vanligare vid VRI jämfört med samhällsförvärvade infektioner. Inom sjukhus ses högst andel av antibiotikaresistens på enheter med högst antibiotikaanvändning. Därför har denna studie fokuserat på dessa för VRI fundamentala och oskiljaktiga problemområden (VRI + antimikrobiella användningen och resistens). Målet är att genom kapacitetsuppbyggnad och kunskapsöverföring etablera hållbara övervakningsprogram för kontroll av VRI och skapa vårdhygieniska team och nätverk med uppgift att arbeta med förebyggande åtgärder i enlighet med nationella program ör infektionskontroll och riktlinjer för rationell antibiotikaanvändning. Den aktuella studien är den första studien av detta slag i landet och genomförs som en prospektiv interventionsstudie i tre faser vid Tikur Anbessa Universitetssjukhus i Addis Abeba, Etiopien. I fas 1 genomförs en observationell studie för att identifiera smittkällor och riskfaktorer för VRI, prevalens av antibiotikabehandling, bakteriella orsaker till identifierade fall av VRI och dess antimikrobiella resistensmönster. Kvalitativa metoder kommer att utnyttjas för att utvärdera kunskap och attityder rörande VRI hos vårdpersonal. I fas 2 kommer baserat på problem och brister identifierade under fas 1 en detaljerat protokoll för interventionen att utarbetas i avsikt att förbättra vårdhygieniska rutiner och antibiotikaanvändning samt öka både kunskapen och medvetenheten om VRI.

Rationell läkemedelsdosering for infektionssjukdomar i Afrika: fokus på gravida kvinnor och barn med HIV/AIDS och malaria. Dosering av läkemedel som används for behandling av infektionssjukdomar har ofta bestämts på ett pragmatiskt sätt. Det finns stora skillnader mellan individer i förmågan att ta upp och transportera och omsätta läkemedel i kroppen och att slutligen utsöndra dessa. Dessutom påverkar interaktioner mellan läkemedel (läkemedelskrockar) och sociala faktorer behandlingseffekten och risken för biverkningar. Detta är inte välstuderat hos barn och gravida i Afrika som behandlas för malaria eller HIV/AIDS. En viktig orsak är att vi inte vet vilka läkemedel som barn och gravida får i praktiken. Läkemedels omsättning hos gravida och barn med HIV/AIDS är inte välutrett därför att det till idag krävts stora mängder blod för att mäta halterna av läkemedel och dess nedbrytningsprodukter i kroppen. Vi misstänker att flera läkemedel för behandling av HIV/AIDS och malaria inte ges i optimala kombinationer eller doser i Afrika. I synnerhet är det viktigt vid behandling av barn, som är fler än 40 procent av befolkningen och antalet gravida kvinnor är 40 miljoner årligen i Afrika. Vi kommer att studera vilka läkemedel och naturprodukter som barn och gravida använder på landsbygden i Uganda. Dessa kunskaper hjälper oss att veta hur framtidens doseringsregimer bör utformas. Vi kommer att utveckla känsliga metoder att i fält kunna ta några mikroliter blod, låta det torka på filterpapper och sedan i en enda roppe halterna av flera läkemedel mot HIV/AIDS och malaria samtidigt. Då kan variationerna av läkemedelshalter i blod hos barn och gravida fastställas. Från blod fripreparerar vi DNA för att få kunskaper om hur halterna av läkemedel i kroppen varierar genom ärftligt betingade skillnader i hastigheten att bryta ner och transportera läkemedel i kroppen. I speciella studier ska vi fastställa vilka läkemedels nedbrytning som påverkas av själva graviditeten.

In this research programme, we will focus to study the induction and regulation of antimicrobial effector pathways in TB infection, also in relation to the mechanisms responsible for the deadly synergy with HIV, which is a key challenge to public health. Bactericidal functions in macrophages (nitric oxide, LL37) and cytolytic T cells (perforin, granulysin) have been shown to be crucial for protective immunity in TB but the relative contribution of these different effectors and the immunoregulatory pathways that control these imperative antimicrobial systems are not known. To explore this, we take advantage of key scientific and technological platforms involving unique clinical study cohorts and quantitative imaging techniques that has been developed by our group, to study immunopathology at the site of microbial infection. Immune responses in patients will be carefully evaluated and related to clinical disease severity.

Our findings will provide important knowledge of how deficient immune responses can be restored to obtain control of chronic TB disease. Tuberkulos (TB) är en bakteriell lungsjukdom med ett starkt globalt fäste och ett utav våra största folkhälsoproblem. Trots att TB är en av världens största infektionssjukdomar vet vi förhållandevis lite om sjukdomen. En tredjedel av världens befolkning beräknas vara infekterad med TB, vilket medför en enorm reservoar för spridning av sjukdom. Den epidemiologiska statistiken visar att miljontals människor drabbas varje år och många dör. Risken för att utveckla TB ökar också betydligt vid en samtidig infektion med HIV. Det enda vaccinet, BCG, är över 80 år gammalt och har en mycket begränsad effektivitet. Det är också svårt att förhindra eller bota TB på medicinsk väg och befintlig behandlig är lång och ofta förknippad med starka biverkningar, vilket kan resultera i en ökning av multidrogresistent TB. Givet dessa fakta, så är det lätt att förstå att behovet av nya vacciner, diagnostiska tester och behandlingsformer är stort. För att kunna förbättra de kliniska verktygen och hjälpa patienterna till ett bättre liv, så måste vi först lära oss om mekanismerna kring uppkomst och utveckling av infektion och sjukdom. Det finns många både värd- och bakteriespecifika parametrar att ta hänsyn till och jag har valt att fokusera min forskning på den del av det humana immunsvaret som leder till direkt avdödning av bakterien i människa. Det inkluderar vita blodkroppar, makrofager och cytolytiska T celler som har unika tuberkulosdödande egenskaper. Dessa celler uttrycker olika effektor molekyler till exempel cellulärt kväveoxid men och antimikrobiella peptider (kroppens eget antibiotikum) som kan döda bakterier genom att förstöra deras membran. Förutom att döda mikroorganismer kan dessa peptider aktivera vårt immunsystem på flera sätt. Vi har resultat som visar att vita blodkroppars aktivitet och produktion av antimikrobiella proteiner är avsevärt lägre vid infektionsstället hos TB-sjuka individer. Min forskning går ut på att försöka förstå när, var och hur antimikrobiella effektor molekyler induceras i mikromiljön vid infektionsstället hos TB patienter samt utforska vilka specifika signalvägar som reglerar uttrycket av effektorerna. Jag vill också studera hur det antimikrobiella svaret vid kronisk TB påverkas av HIV infektion. Min forskargrupp använder unika metoder för att studera immunsvaret lokalt i mänskliga vävnader, där antalet reaktiva immunceller är högt. Med mikroskopi och bildanalys jämförs immunsvaret i tex. lunga eller lymfknuta med det systemiska svaret i blodet. Resultaten från sjuka individer relateras till svårighetsgraden av sjukdom, men också till relevanta kontroller. Vi kommer att studera uttryck och funktion av olika celler, signalvägar och lösliga signalsubstanser sk. cytokiner, och hur de påverkar det antimikrobiella systemets förmåga att avdöda eller kontrollera bakterieväxt i infekteras vävnad. Intressanta fynd från patienter kommer att undersökas i en ny lungvävnadsmodell som är konstruerad att imitera den fysiologiska funktionen hos den mänskliga lungan. Här har vi den unika möjligheten att studera hur organ-specifika celltyper påverkar TB infektion och det immunsvar som uppkommer, men vi kan även manipulera de immunregulatoriska signalvägarna, för att studera hur uttrycket av de antimikrobiella effektor proteinerna påverkas. Resultaten från vår forskning på patient material och lungvävnadsmodellen kommer att användas för att identifiera nya biomarkörer för immunkorrelat samt sjukdom. Dessa applicerar vi i kliniken för att utvärdera nya TB vaccin kandidater men också för att testa och utveckla ett nytt diagnostiskt test för aktiv TB sjukdom. Den kommersiella diagnostik som används idag kan inte skilja mellan aktiv och latent TB och fungerar ofta betydligt sämre i TB patienter med svår sjukdom tex. immunsuppremerade TB/HIV koinfekterade patienter. Den nya diagnostiken som vi utforskar, bygger på våra fynd att TB patienter har en kraftigt förhöjd nivå av TB-specifika antikroppsproducerande celler i blodet, speciellt Sweden The Swedish Research Council The Swedish Research Council +46 8 546 44 000 vetenskapsradet@vr.se www.vr.se Box 1035, 101 38 Stockholm, Sweden Developing countries, unspecified Tuberculosis control Basic Health Saknas No indicator available - only a description of the activity results is published SE-0-SE-29-2011-3455-1 Sweden Our fundamental understanding of the pathogenesis in human tuberculosis (TB) disease is inadequate.

Den epidemiologiska statistiken visar att miljontals människor drabbas varje år och många dör. Risken för att utveckla TB ökar också betydligt vid en samtidig infektion med HIV. Det enda vaccinet, BCG, är över 80 år gammalt och har en mycket begränsad effektivitet. Det är också svårt att förhindra eller bota TB på medicinsk väg och befintlig behandlig är lång och ofta förknippad med starka biverkningar, vilket kan resultera i en ökning av multidrogresistent TB. Givet dessa fakta, så är det lätt att förstå att behovet av nya vacciner, diagnostiska tester och behandlingsformer är stort. För att kunna förbättra de kliniska verktygen och hjälpa patienterna till ett bättre liv, så måste vi först lära oss om mekanismerna kring uppkomst och utveckling av infektion och sjukdom. Det finns många både värd- och bakteriespecifika parametrar att ta hänsyn till och jag har valt att fokusera min forskning på den del av det humana immunsvaret som leder till direkt avdödning av bakterien i människa. Det inkluderar vita blodkroppar, makrofager och cytolytiska T celler som har unika tuberkulosdödande egenskaper. Dessa celler uttrycker olika effektor molekyler till exempel cellulärt kväveoxid men och antimikrobiella peptider (kroppens eget antibiotikum) som kan döda bakterier genom att förstöra deras membran. Förutom att döda mikroorganismer kan dessa peptider aktivera vårt immunsystem på flera sätt. Vi har resultat som visar att vita blodkroppars aktivitet och produktion av antimikrobiella proteiner är avsevärt lägre vid infektionsstället hos TB-sjuka individer. Min forskning går ut på att försöka förstå när, var och hur antimikrobiella effektor molekyler induceras i mikromiljön vid infektionsstället hos TB patienter samt utforska vilka specifika signalvägar som reglerar uttrycket av effektorerna. Jag vill också studera hur det antimikrobiella svaret vid kronisk TB påverkas av HIV infektion. Min forskargrupp använder unika metoder för att studera immunsvaret lokalt i mänskliga vävnader, där antalet reaktiva immunceller är högt. Med mikroskopi och bildanalys jämförs immunsvaret i tex. lunga eller lymfknuta med det systemiska svaret i blodet. Resultaten från sjuka individer relateras till svårighetsgraden av sjukdom, men också till relevanta kontroller. Vi kommer att studera uttryck och funktion av olika celler, signalvägar och lösliga signalsubstanser sk. cytokiner, och hur de påverkar det antimikrobiella systemets förmåga att avdöda eller kontrollera bakterieväxt i infekteras vävnad. Intressanta fynd från patienter kommer att undersökas i en ny lungvävnadsmodell som är konstruerad att imitera den fysiologiska funktionen hos den mänskliga lungan. Här har vi den unika möjligheten att studera hur organ-specifika celltyper påverkar TB infektion och det immunsvar som uppkommer, men vi kan även manipulera de immunregulatoriska signalvägarna, för att studera hur uttrycket av de antimikrobiella effektor proteinerna påverkas. Resultaten från vår forskning på patient material och lungvävnadsmodellen kommer att användas för att identifiera nya biomarkörer för immunkorrelat samt sjukdom. Dessa applicerar vi i kliniken för att utvärdera nya TB vaccin kandidater men också för att testa och utveckla ett nytt diagnostiskt test för aktiv TB sjukdom. Den kommersiella diagnostik som används idag kan inte skilja mellan aktiv och latent TB och fungerar ofta betydligt sämre i TB patienter med svår sjukdom tex. immunsuppremerade TB/HIV koinfekterade patienter. Den nya diagnostiken som vi utforskar, bygger på våra fynd att TB patienter har en kraftigt förhöjd nivå av TB-specifika antikroppsproducerande celler i blodet, speciellt Sweden Karolinska Institutet The Swedish Research Council Karolinska Institutet Gender Equality Aid to Environment Participatory Development/Good Governance Trade Development Aid Targeting the Objectives of the Convention on Biological Diversity Aid Targeting the Objectives of the Framework Convention on Climate Change - Mitigation Aid Targeting the Objectives of the Framework Convention on Climate Change - Adaptation Aid Targeting the Objectives of the Convention to Combat Desertification Reproductive, Maternal, Newborn and Child Health (RMNCH) Disaster Risk Reduction(DRR) Disability 850000 850000 2550000 Karolinska Institutet 850000 Karolinska Institutet SE-0-SE-29-2011-3515 Sweden The suggested project is focused on two main themes - immunogenetics and immunotherapy - using state of the art (and beyond state of the art) technologies. Selective IgA deficiency (IgAD) and common variable immunodeficiency (CVID) are the two most common forms of primary immunodeficiency diseases (PID) in Sweden. Although both diseases have a strong genetic component, the genes involved have only been identified in a minority of patients (less than 10 %). The main aim of the proposed project is to identify novel genes associated with these diseases. Thus far, all primary immunodeficiency diseases have been found to be monogenic. IgAD and CVID are the first primary immunodeficiency which may be polygenic, involving both MHC and non-MHC genes.

A second objective of our studies is to develop novel forms of replacement or even curative therapy for our PID patients and other groups of infectious prone patients. Primär immunbrist hos människa - diagnostik och behandling Variabel immunbrist (CVID) och selektiv IgA brist (IgAD) är de vanligast förekommande formerna av primär immunbrist i Sverige och totalt finns cirka 15 000 patienter i landet. På grund av bristen på antikroppar drabbas patienterna av frekventa infektioner och behandlas därför regelmässigt med gammaglobulin och antibiotika. Den genetiska orsaken till sjukdomarna är fortfarande okänd (mindre än 10 % av patienterna har fått en molekylärt baserad diagnos) och avsikten med vårt projekt är att identifiera ytterligare gener som orsakar dessa defekter. Vidare syftar projektet till att försöka förstå den starka koppling som finns mellan IgA brist och autoimmuna sjukdomar som diabetes och glutenintolerans. CVID och IgA brist har tidigare betraktats som obotbara sjukdomar men vi har nyligen funnit ett tiotal patienter som gradvis normaliserat sina immunglobulinnivåer. Detta talar för att defekten kan vara av regulatorisk art vilket kan vara av mycket stor betydelse för att finna en alternativ framtida behandling för våra patienter.

Modifierade laktobaciller som producerar antikroppar mot selekterade smittämnen (bakterier och virus) kommer också att genereras och kan utgöra ett framtida behandlingsalternativ vid vissa infektionssjukdomar orsakade av rotavirus, norovirus och HIV.

The worldwide prevalence of PE ranges from 3 to 15% of pregnancies, affecting a total of 8.5 millions women worldwide. PE is responsible for about 18 % of the maternal and 40% of the fetal mortality. PE still lacks, a safe and effective therapy, as well as a reliable, early means of diagnosis. Results from our recent gene profiling and proteomic studies have independently shown increased production and accumulation of free fetal hemoglobin (HbF) in the placenta. This study aims to decipher the pathophysiological mechanisms of HbF in PE. Specific aims -To evaluate the hemodynamic changes induced by free HbF in animal and ex-vivo placenta models. -To study the micro RNA and protein content of placental derived microparticles in respons to free Hb. -To study the inflammatory response in PE using a new antibody array technology. Significance Deeper understanding of the underlying patho-physiological mechanisms opens up for improvement of new diagnostic tools. Furthermore, the understanding is crucial for development of a new specific, rather than symptomatic, treatment. Today the only curative intervention is to induce delivery. It is estimated that US$30 billion is spent worldwide per year in health care costs to treat women with PE. A new treatment for PE would therefore have a tremendous impact on women?s health worldwide. Bakgrund: Havandeskapsförgiftning-Preeklampsi (PE) drabbar varje år 8 500 000 blivande mödrar i världen varav 5000 i Sverige. Det är den ledande dödsorsaken hos både mödrar och foster under graviditeten. PE har kallats teoriernas sjukdom och beskrevs så tidigt som för 3000 år sedan av de gamla egyptierna. Sjukdomen utvecklas i två steg, det första steget kännetecknas av en defekt bildning av moderkakan-placentan. Under den sk. placentation har en defekt invasion av placentans celler i livmoderslemhinnans spiral artärer påvisats. Detta bidrar till ett minskat blodflöde som leder till oxidativ stress, vävnadsskada och inflammation. Nedsatt blodflöde kan även resultera i att fostret utvecklar en intrauterin tillväxthämning (IUGR). Det andra steget, de kliniska manifestationerna, dvs hypertoni och proteinuri, debuterar som tidigast från och med 20e graviditetsveckan. Vad som länkar steg ett och två är ännu oklart dock är det mycket som talar för en placentär faktor. Trots intensiv forskning är PE ännu idag svårdiagnosticerad och behandling saknas. Det enda som kan göras för att avbryta sjukdomsförloppet är att förlösa modern, ett svårt avvägande där både barnets och moderns välmående måste tas i beaktning. I och med detta svarar PE för 15 % av alla för tidigt födda barn, vart fjärde barn föds dessutom tillväxthämmat. Sammantaget bidrar PE till ökat lidande för både mor och barn. Tidigare resultat: Vi har med hjälp av gen- och proteinanalys identifierat ansamling av fritt foster hemoglobin (HbF) i moderkakor (placentor) vid PE. Våra aktuella resultat visar att HbF skadar placentan varvid läckage till den maternella blodcirculationen uppstår. Nivåeerna av fritt HbF stiger i mammans blod och bidrar till de kärl och njurskador som så småningom leder till de kliniska manifesten. Specifika målsättningar: Detta translationella projekt avser att systematiskt studera effekterna av fritt HbF vid PE; 1. Då fritt Hb är generellt vävnadsskadande, kommer skadeeffekterna av fritt Hb att studeras med nya ex-vivo och djur modeller med speciellt fokus på placenta, njur- och kärlfunktioner. Förutom fysiologiska parametrar som blodtryck, kärlkontraktilitet samt blodflöde, utvärderas även molekylära aspekter med gen- proteinprofilering samt vävnadshistologi. 2. Fritt Hb ger upphov till oxidative stress i placentan vilket leder till specifika cellskador. Cellmembranen tar skada och sk. mikropartiklar bildas som läcker ut i mammans blodcirkulation. Vi avser att studera innehållet i dessa mikropartiklar med avseende på proteiner och micro RNA. 3. När mikropartiklar från placentan når mammans blodcirkulation aktiveras hennes immunförsvar, olika vid PE respektive intrauterine tillväxthämning (IUGR). Vi kommer att studera den inflammatoriska profilen med hjälp av en ny antikroppsarray och korrelera den till innehållet i mikropartiklarna och fritt HbF vid dessa tillstånd. Dopplerultraljudsundersökningar görs på patienterna i tidig graviditet i syfte att mäta blodflödet i placentan. Detta görs i Lund, Stockholm (Life Gene Study) samt på St Georges sjukhuset i London. För att få tillgång till blod och vävnad från kvinnor med mycket allvarlig form av PE, samlas kontinuerligt prover i etablerade samarbete med kliniker i Egypten, Ghana, Kenya och Tanzania. Betydelse: En effektiv prediktiv och diagnostisk markör med hög specificitet och känslighet skulle kunna användas för att identifiera kvinnor med ökad risk att utveckla PE och IUGR. En effektiv screening skulle kunna minska onödigt lidande och stora sjukvårdskostnader sparas genom att: -Omfördelning av vårdresurser till kvinnor med ökad risk för PE ± IUGR. -Undvika onödig sjukhusvistelser för mödrar med misstänkt PE. -Mer precis övervakning av sjukdomsförloppet, vilket möjliggör att tidpunkten för förlossning bättre kan planeras och antalet prematurfödslar minimeras.

This increase is largely related to rapid changes in life style including a more unhealthy diet and a marked reduction of physical activity (PA). In the wake of the increased prevalence of diabetes, cardiovascular morbidity and mortality rises. This puts a large toll on GDP growth and the economical situation for families, of which many risk poverty. Diabetes can, cost-effectively, both be prevented and treated with improved life style, e.g. increased PA. The main purpose of this study is to compare clinical and quality of life outcomes of an Individualized PA (IPA) intervention programme with the outcomes of standard care (SC) for newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes (T2D) patients in Hanoi, Viet Nam. Other purposes are to establish and deepen the collaboration between Swedish and Viet Namese biomedical researchers in physical activity patient research. METHODS: 50 newly diagnosed patients with T2D will receive a 12-week IPA programme. A comparison group (n=50) will receive SC. The IPA group receives intensive education and individualized recommendation for PA and weekly telephone calls.

Denna ökning är till stor del orsakad av förändrade levnadsvanor, däribland en mer ohälsosam kost och minskad fysisk aktivitet. Som en följd av den tilltagande förekomsten av diabetes ökar sjuklighet och dödlighet i hjärtkärlsjukdom. Detta påverkar såväl Viet Nams BNP-tillväxt som enskilda familjers ekonomi negativt med risk för fattigdom för många. Diabetes kan, på ett kostnadseffektivt sätt, både förebyggas och behandlas med förbättrade levnadsvanor, däribland ökad fysisk aktivitet. Huvudsyftet med denna studie är att, i Hanoi i Viet Nam, jämföra intensiv och individanpassad fysisk aktivitetsbehandling med gängse behandling för nydiagnosticerade typ 2 diabetiker vad gäller sjukdomsgrad och livskvalitet. Andra syften med projektet är att fördjupa samarbetet mellan svenska och Viet Namesiska medicinska och folkhälsovetenskapliga forskare inom området fysisk aktivitet för sjukdomsprevention och sjukdomsbehandling. METOD: 50 nydiagnosticerade patienter med diabetes genomgår ett 12 veckor långt individanpassat program med fysisk aktivitet. Detta innefattar intensiv utbildning, individuella rekommendationer för fysisk aktivitet och ett telefonsamtal per vecka. Jämförelsegruppen erhåller gängse behandling. Före och efter programmet mäts fasteblodsocker, sockertolerans, insulinnivåer, livskvalitet samt fysisk funktionsförmåga. Vi förväntar oss att denna strukturerade studie av livsstilsförändring i Hanoi ger ny kunskap om hur en Viet Namesisk grupp av diabetiker leder till ny kunskap om effekter och metoder i ett medelinkomstland med ökande förekomst av kroniska sjukdomar. Dessutom är avsikten att framgent kunna utforma optimerade, individanpassade ordinationer av livsstilsförändringar. Vi har stor tilltro till möjligheten att genomföra en mycket välkontrollerad studie. Detta eftersom de Viet Namesiska forskarna i vår grupp, på det aktuella sjukhuset, nyligen har avslutat en framgångsrik studie med en annan behandling av diabetiker.

This increase is largely related to rapid changes in life style including a more unhealthy diet and a marked reduction of physical activity (PA). In the wake of the increased prevalence of diabetes, cardiovascular morbidity and mortality rises. This puts a large toll on GDP growth and the economical situation for families, of which many risk poverty. Diabetes can, cost-effectively, both be prevented and treated with improved life style, e.g. increased PA. The main purpose of this study is to compare clinical and quality of life outcomes of an Individualized PA (IPA) intervention programme with the outcomes of standard care (SC) for newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes (T2D) patients in Hanoi, Viet Nam. Other purposes are to establish and deepen the collaboration between Swedish and Viet Namese biomedical researchers in physical activity patient research. METHODS: 50 newly diagnosed patients with T2D will receive a 12-week IPA programme. A comparison group (n=50) will receive SC. The IPA group receives intensive education and individualized recommendation for PA and weekly telephone calls. Before and after the programme, fasting and oral glucose tolerance test, HbA1c, plasma insulin level and fitness level will be assessed.

It aims to study two large innovative demand side financing programs to reduce maternal death by promoting institutional delivery among women living below poverty line in India. One program is a conditional cash transfer to poor women on delivering in a state hospital. The other is a reimbursement by the state to private sector obstetricians for deliveries of poor women that they have performed i.e a voucher scheme. The programs operate to scale in Madhya Pradesh & Gujarat provinces of India respectively. While both programs are based on similar concepts, i.e. financial incentives for the provision and utilization of care; there are differences in contexts, financing mechanisms, payment models, levels of private sector involvement; all of which influence maternal health outcomes. Overall aim is to assess impact of & compare the two maternal health programs in India, in terms of a) maternal outcomes b) influence of incentive structure on outcomes c) quality of care d) allocative efficiency e) private sector contribution to outcomes. Quantitative & qualitative methods will be used. No evaluations of such large scale demand side financing programs for maternal health have been carried out before. The field is fairly new, recent scientific literature has recommended robust evaluations to fill the evidence gap with respect to the impact of such interventions. This proposal addresses this gap. Detta projekt är ett forskningssamarbete mellan Sverige och Indien inom mödrahälsovård. Syftet är att studera två stora innovativa finansieringsprogram som avser öka efterfrågan på vård och minska mödradödligheten genom att främja institutionella förlossningar för kvinnor som lever under fattigdomsgränsen i Indien. Indien står för 20 procent av den globala mödradödligheten, 26 procent av befolkningen lever under fattigdomsgränsen, och fortsätter att ha en av den högsta mödradödligheten (MMR) i världen. Därför krävs framstegen i Indien för att nå Millennieutvecklingsmål (MDG) 5 till 2015. Ett program innebär villkorlig kontantöverföring till fattiga kvinnor när de föder på ett offentliga sjukhus, medan det andra programmet innebär statlig kompensation till obstetriker vid privata kliniker som förlöser fattiga kvinnor, dvs. ett kupongsystem. Alla betalningar görs av staten. Programmen finns i provinserna Madhya Pradesh (70 000 000 personer) respektive Gujarat (60 000 000 personer). Programmen är baserade på liknande koncept, dvs. finansiella incitament för tillhandahållande av, och användning av hälsovård. Däremot finns stora skillnader som påverkar önskade resultat av mödrahälsa; kontext, finansieringsmekanismer, modell av betalningsleverantör, incitament, och olika nivåer av privata sektorns inblandning. Det övergripande målet är att granska effekten av och jämföra dessa två storskaliga program inom mödrahälsa i Indien gällande a) hälsoeffekter (speciellt mödradödlighet) b)incitamentsstrukturens påverkan på hälsoeffekter c)den fördelade effekten av programmen d) privata hälsosektorns bidrag till hälsoeffekterna.

Midlevel provider?s involvement in abortion care increases women?s access to safe abortion and reduce maternal mortality. A simplified procedure of medical abortion has been suggested as medically safe internationally. India has been slow in implementing medical abortion and it is suggested that a simplified procedure would increase acceptability among both providers and women. However, so far there are no studies available on the safety of a simplified procedure in medical abortion or the involvement of midlevel providers in India. Women?s experiences of unwanted pregnancy and abortion is also little explored in the Indian context. The aim with this project is to study the safety, efficacy and effectiveness of a simplified procedure of medical abortion in India provided to women by midlevel providers or physicians. Also to describe women?s experiences of unwanted pregnancy, contraceptive use and experiences of the treatment. The design of the study is a four-armed randomised control trial combined with qualitative individual interviews. The main outcome measure is successful completion of abortion. The long-term goal of this project is to provide evidence based information that will contribute to the development of strategies to increase women?s access to high level of abortion care and to contribute to the reduction of maternal mortality and morbidity in India. Bakgrund: FNs Millenniummål 5 är att sänka mödradödligheten med 75% från 1990 till 2015. En stor del av mödradödligheten, ca 70 000- 100 000 fall/år orsakas av komplikationer till illegala eller osäkra aborter vilket gör abortrelaterade död till en av de vanligaste dödsorsakerna bland kvinnor i fertil ålder. Indien står ensamt för ca 20% av världens mödradödlighet och man har uppskattat att 17% av dödsfallen orsakas av osäkra aborter i Indien. Trots att abort är lagligt sedan 1971 och relativt billigt, är kunskapen låg och abortvården ojämt fördelat. Uppskattningsvis utförs ca 5.5 millioner osäkra aborter årligen i Indien och endast 15% av primära hälsocenter har tillgång till utbildade vårdgivare. För att minska dödlighet och sjuklighet förknippad med oönskade graviditeter finns rekommendationer att utbilda annan sjukvårdspersonal än läkare, t.ex barnmorskor och sjuksköterskor, som också kallas Mid Level Providers (MLP) i att tillhandahålla abortvård. Då MLP globalt är fler än läkarna och finns närmare kvinnorna, framför allt på landsbygden, tänker man sig att det ökar det tillgängligheten och kvaliteten på abortvården. Tidigare internationella studier visar dessutom att MLP kan utföra säker medicinsk abort vid tidig graviditet. Internationellt används kombinationen mifepriston och misoprostol (abortpiller) vid medicinsk abort vilket har i studier visat sig vara en billig, skonsam och effektiv metod. Vidare har det även visats att man kan, med god medicinsk säkerhet, genomföra en förenklad medicinsk abort med färre besök på abortkliniken. Att involvera MLP vid medicinsk abort samt införa en förenklad handläggning av medicinsk abort skulle öka kvinnors tillgänglighet till säker abort i Indien. Inga tidigare studier har jämfört utfallet mellan medicinsk abort utförd av läkare eller MLP enligt standard förfarande och förenklad handläggning i vare sig låg- och/eller höginkomstsammanhang. Projektet: Projektet planeras att genomföras i Indien där man behöver öka tillgängligheten till säker abortvård för kvinnor boende i städer och på landsbygden för att minska mödradödlighet och sjuklighet förknippad med oönskad graviditet. Syfte och metod: En randomiserade kontrollerad studie (patienterna fördelas slumpartat mellan vårdgivarna och behandling) planeras för att studera säkerheten och effektiviteten av medicinsk abort och förenklad medicinsk abort, utförd av barnmorska eller läkare. Vidare också beskriva preventivmedelsanvändning hos kvinnorna (Studie I). I studie I kommer kvinnor inbjudas att medverka i individuella intervjuer för ökad förståelsen för det sociala sammanhanget runt gravitet och abortbeslut samt deras uppfattningar av den vård de fått. Projektet syftar till att (1) utvärdera effektiviteten och säkerheten av att MLP handlägger medicinsk abort jämfört med läkare; (2) utvärdera effektiviteten och säkerheten av en förenklad handläggning av medicinsk abort jämfört med standard handläggning; (3) utvärdera blödning, smärta och antal sjukvårdsbesök efter förenklad medicinsk abort; samt (4) utvärdera kvinnornas syn på och användande av preventivmedel efter preventivmedelsrådgivning i anslutning till aborten (5) öka förståelse för kvinnors beslutsfattande i relation till abort och preventivmedel samt deras erfarenhet av abortvård.Genomförande: Medicinsk abort enligt standard proceduren i Indien innebär tre besök på klinik. Kvinnor som söker medicinsk abort på All India Institute of Medical Science (AIIMS), Delhi, Indien, lottas att bli behandlade av barnmorska eller läkare och sedan till standard handläggning eller förenklad medicinsk abort. Utfallen som analyseras är fullständig abort utan komplikation, blödning, smärta, kvinnans acceptans av metoden samt val av preventivmedelsmetod och användning av den valda metoden.

The funding applied for now will cover joint activities, e.g. research visits, workshops and joint publishing which are needed and not funded by the project. We have found high levels of antibiotic concentrations in hospital waste water, high antibiotic use and a high percentage of resistant bacteria in samples from normal flora, clinical samples and waste water samples in the setting in India. We are collecting information on health care associated infections, their cause, resistance patterns of causative organisms, performing genetic analyses of resistant bacteria and have performed qualitative and quantitative studies on hygiene among hospital staff. The intervention program is ongoing, locally produced alcohol based hand-rub is introduced, antibiotic prescribing is continuously followed and feedback meetings are regularly held in included departments. There is now a need for an increased face to face interaction between the researchers from both institutions, for Swedish researchers to visit India and for Indian researchers to visit Sweden. The findings are planned to be disseminated through seminars and when appropriate through Indian Initiative for Management of Antibiotic Resistance.Writing workshops will be organized to finalize publications. As we prefer to publish our results in open access journals for easy access for researchers in low and middle income countries there is also in most cases publications fees. Antibiotikaresistens anses vara ett av de större hoten mot global folkhälsa. Resistensnivåer bestäms bla av antibiotikaanvändning. I Indien har man hög antibiotikaanvändning, hög antibiotikaresistens och hög andel vårdrelaterade infektioner. Detta tillsammans med svag implementering av system för övervakning och hantering av antibiotikaanvändning, antibiotikaresistens och hantering av antibiotikaavfall gör att man nu försöker utveckla system för detta. Vi har ett pågående projekt där syftet är att utveckla och utvärdera sammanhållna interventioner för att förhindra och kontrollera vårdrelaterade infektioner och för att förbättra system att hantera antibiotika inklusive hantering av antibiotikaavfall. Detta görs fr.a. på sjukhus men också bland allmänheten i en mindre indisk stad (500,000 invånare) och på landsbygden utanför staden. Vi beräknar vilka mängder antibiotika som släpps ut i omgivningen genom att mäta antibiotikakoncentrationer i avloppsvatten från sjukhus och i det omgivande samhället. Vi prövar olika metoder att rena vatten från antibiotikarester. I Indien renas avfallsvatten i begränsad utsträckning, men också i Sverige har man sett höga nivåer av antibiotika i avloppsvatten. Vi bestämmer också genetiskt bakterier från friska personer, från patienter samt från vatten för att studera spridningen av enskilda bakteriekloner. Interventioner till hälsopersonal och övriga invånare kommer att pågå under minst ett år och bestå av återföring av data kring antibiotikaanvändning, resistens och infektioner bla med hjälp av behandlingsriktlinjer som utvecklas lokalt. Vi mäter antibiotikaförskrivning, förekomst av vårdrelaterade infektioner och förekomst av antibiotikaresistenta bakterier i upprepade mätningar under lång tid för att kunna utvärdera de interventioner vi gör. Syftet med denna ansökan är få möjlighet till tätare möten i forskargruppen för att på ett bättre sätt kunna arbeta fram vetenskapliga publikationer och också för att informera allmänhet och hälsopersonal om våra resultat.

Vi bestämmer också genetiskt bakterier från friska personer, från patienter samt från vatten för att studera spridningen av enskilda bakteriekloner. Interventioner till hälsopersonal och övriga invånare kommer att pågå under minst ett år och bestå av återföring av data kring antibiotikaanvändning, resistens och infektioner bla med hjälp av behandlingsriktlinjer som utvecklas lokalt. Vi mäter antibiotikaförskrivning, förekomst av vårdrelaterade infektioner och förekomst av antibiotikaresistenta bakterier i upprepade mätningar under lång tid för att kunna utvärdera de interventioner vi gör. Syftet med denna ansökan är få möjlighet till tätare möten i forskargruppen för att på ett bättre sätt kunna arbeta fram vetenskapliga publikationer och också för att informera allmänhet och hälsopersonal om våra resultat.

Crowded refugee camps and environmental catastrophes e.g flooding and earth quakes often results in rapid spreading of diarrhoea and other infectious diseases if water sanitation cannot be controlled. Hence we need to understand how pathogens can survive and spread in water. The aim of this project is to determine how diarrhoea pathogenic bacteria survive in water and how water transmission affects virulence. The hypothesis, based on pilot studies, is that bacteria in water survive and retain expression of certain genes required for survival, transmission and virulence even after long exposure in water. The essential genes will be identified and analysed to understand water-borne bacterial transmission. Determination of the transcriptome in the water-borne pathogens enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) and Vibrio cholerae in water by Illumina RNAseq analyses and comparison to the transcriptome under laboratory conditions and during dissemination from the host in diarrhoea samples will identify the specific water-induced transcriptome as well as the virulence transcriptome. The function of essential genes will be analysed by mutagenesis. Results will give a general understanding of dissemination of water borne infections and bacterial survival and virulence and may open up for novel strategies for prevention of water-borne bacterial diarrhoea.

Kontaminerat dricksvatten är en vanlig källa till infektion i utvecklingsländer. Vi har tidigare visar att den diarreframkallande bakterien enterotoxigen Escherichia coli (ETEC) finns i dricksvatten och överlever i vatten i flera månader med intakt cellmembran och med en aktiv transkription av vissa men inte alla gener. Opublicerade data har också visat att ETEC kan kolonisera möss efter 3 månaders vatteninkubering. Många diarrépatogener anses vara vattenburna inklusive den mest kända bakterien Vibrio cholerae som orsakar kolera och som blivit känd nu senast genom utbrotten på Haiti 2010. Våra och andras resultat indikerar att diarreframkallande bakterier kan ligga tysta i vattenkällor under mycket lång tid och att de sedan kan orsaka sjukdom hos människor som dricker vattnet. Men hur bakterierna kan överleva i näringsfattigt dricksvatten under så lång tid är ännu inte utrett. För att undersöka detta avser vi nu att med sekvensering i samarbete med forskare i Kina och Bangladesh studera alla gener som vatteninkuberade ETEC och V. cholerae uttrycker i vatten, diarré och i laboratoriet med hjälp av Illumina RNAseq sekvensering där man kan sekvensbestämma alla gener som uttrycks i ett prov samtidigt; transkriptomet.

An effective vaccine remains a distant goal and increased efforts are necessary to understand the pathogenesis and potential immune correlates of protection against infection and disease progression. Additionally, it is incumbent upon researchers to build capacity in immunology in those resource limited countries most affected by HIV-1 and other infectious diseases. In this project, we will work towards these goals by investigating our preliminary findings concerning: (1) defects in natural killer (NK) cell responses in HIV infected Ugandans; (2) involvement of invariant NKT cells in the differential pathogenicity of HIV clade A and D infections; and (3) development of innate NK-like functions in CD8 T cells in HIV infected Ugandans. This is a collaborative effort between the Center for Infection Medicine at Karolinska Institutet and the Makerere University Walter Reed Project in Kampala, Uganda. The project involves an exchange of research visits between the MU and KI laboratories, and research training of a Ugandan PhD-student in the KI PhD program in Infection Biology. We anticipate that these investigations will significantly enhance our understanding of the role of innate cellular immunity in HIV-1 infection, and facilitate technology transfer and contribute strongly to research capacity building at the MU laboratories. HIV/AIDS har vittgående effekter i många utvecklingsländer och underminerar ansträngningarna att utveckla samhället och reducera fattigdomen. Ett effektivt vaccin är idag ett avlägset mål och förnyade ansträngningar för att förstå HIV infektionens patogenes och immunbiologi är nödvändiga. Det är viktigt att bygga upp en kunskapsbas och vetenskaplig kompetens inom immunologi i länder som är värst drabbade av HIV och de andra stora infektionssjukdomarna. Det här aktuella projektet handlar om hur celler i människans medfödda (innate) och adaptiva immunsystem fungerar, och hur de agerar och påverkas när individen blir smittad med virus. Vi är särskilt intresserade av hur immunsystemet fungerar vid infektion med humant immunbristvirus (HIV). Vi undersöker hur celltyper såsom CD8 T celler, naturliga mördar (NK) celler, samt högt specialiserade NKT celler svarar på virus, hur de kan skydda, och hur de även i vissa situationer kan förvärra sjukdom och bidra till ett snabbare sjukdomsförlopp. Sammantaget kommer denna forskning att signifikant öka vår förståelse om det adaptiva och det medfödda immunsystemets basala funktion. Samtidigt kommer forskningsresultaten ge ökad insikt om varför det mänskliga immunsystemet inte kan kontrollera infektion med HIV virus, och förhoppningsvis ge infallsvinklar till nya behandlingsformer vid såväl HIV infektion som andra kroniska infektioner.

We have been working within the field of Tuberculosis (TB) diagnostics and molecular epidemiology during the last 20 years. Now we would like to support the integration of this evidence into practice and to improve the TB diagnostic capacity in Honduras even further. Specifically, we will document and assess the implementation process of one of the non-commercial methods for detection of drug-resistant TB we have proven as a low-cost a reliable option. We will support the technology transference of genetic techniques for detection ac characterization of the disease. Additionally we will conduct pilot studies to test novel combinations of conventional and molecular-based diagnostics. And finally we will help to create a communication infrastructure for dissemination of our findings. This project will strengthen the national and international partnership as well as the collaboration between the academic and public health sector. It also will provide highly needed evidence on TB diagnostics implementation for programmatic use in real-life conditions. In addition, it will help to identify factors affecting the acceptability and implementation of these new interventions. Svårbehandlad läkemedelsresistent tuberkulos (TB) är ett ökande problem i många länder. De mest allvarliga formerna, multiresistent eller extremt resistent TB, innebär avsevärda svårigheter och kostnader för sjukvården, hotar framgången av de insatser som görs av de nationella TB-kontrollorganen, samt ökat lidande för de drabbade patienterna. För att hindra att utvecklingen går mot en ökad förekomst av resistent TB är känslig och snabb påvisning av läkemedelsresistenta tuberkelbakterier helt nödvändig. Det planerade projektet avser att utvärdera och implementera förbättrad metodik, såväl bakteriologisk som molekylärgenetisk, för en snabb och känslig diagnostik av patienter med av resistent TB. Detta innebär att såväl behandling och smittskydd av dessa patienter kan modifieras för att motverka risken för utveckling och spridning av resistent TB. Vi planerar att bygga vidare på redan väletablerade kontakter mellan Karolinska Institutet och Universitetet i Tegucigalpa för att gemensamt vidareutveckla den diagnostiska kapaciteten vid det nationella referenslaboratoriet i Tegucigalpa.

First, it seeks to develop comparative studies on welfare systems in different development contexts. Particularly the project explores characteristics and outcomes of welfare policies in different social policy sectors. The project also tries to develop an understanding of the main actors (government, market, etc) in shaping the development of the welfare systems in different economies. The collaborative research includes partners from Lund University, Institute of European Studies at Chinese Academy of Social Science in Beijing and Faculty of Sociology at Viet Nam National University in Haoni. Second, the project aims to establish an international collaborative research network with researchers at universities and research institutes in East Asia. Third, it compares existing Swedish research on welfare and social policy and research being conducted in East Asia partner countries. Fourth, it will be a contribution to the interdisciplinary study of globalisation and welfare development. The collaboration within the project will be coordinated by Lund University and is organised around three yearly workshops including all of the partners. Each workshop will be organised by the partner universities and focus on the specialty of each partner´s research. The main result of the project will be an anthology to which each partner will contribute and joint comparative research programmes. Vårt projekt av jämförande forskning av välfärd och socialpolitik i olika utvecklingskontexter skiljer sig från traditionell forskning inom området. Istället för att fokusera analyser av välfärd och socialpolitik i utvecklingsländer på makronivå, såsom välfärdsregimer, studerar vårt projekt välfärdsresultat inom specifika sektorer. Fokus ligger på Ostasien och projektet vidareutvecklar det internationella forskningsnätverk Samhällsvetenskapliga fakulteten och Sociologiska institutionen vid Lunds Universitet har med partners på Institute of European Studies vid Chinese Academy of Social Science i Beijing och Faculty of Sociology, University of Social Sciences and Humanities vid Viet Nam National University i Hanoi. De etablerade samarbetena kommer att vidareutvecklas i projektet som i huvudsak består av fyra faser. Under första fasen planerar vi att jämföra empiriskt material av välfärdsindikatorer inom sektorer som t ex socialförsäkringar, utbildningssystem, barnomsorg, äldreomsorg, bostadspolitik i de olika länderna. Förutom att erhålla en klarare bild av välfärden i de olika länderna i ett jämförande perspektiv planerar vi också att analysera huvudaktörernas (stat, marknad, hushåll m fl) roller visavi de olika socialpolitiska programmen. Denna första fas resulterar i en workshop i Beijing (april 2012) där insamlat empiriskt material analyseras. I den andra fasen planerar vi att med hjälp av en standardiserad modell genomföra jämförande analyser av det insamlade materialet. Denna fas avslutas med en workshop i Hanoi (februari 2013). Slutligen leder projektet till en sammanställning av en antologi med de sektorspecifika välfärdsanalyserna i ett jämförande perspektiv. Denna sista fas avslutas med en workshop i Lund (april/maj 2014) där varje forskarlag presenterar texter avsedda för antologin. Projektet koordineras av forskarlaget vid Lunds universitet, medan varje workshop organiseras av forskarlagen i respektive land. Vårt projekt vidareutvecklar jämförande välfärds- och socialpolitisk forskning genom att skifta fokus från makro till mikronivå, där regimanalyser ersätts av sektoranalyser för att möjliggöra en fördjupad och mer detaljerad jämförelse av välfärd i olika länder. På så sätt kan vi på ett mer träffsäkert sätt analysera välfärden såsom den upplevs, produceras och reproduceras av olika aktörer. Vår fokus på särskilda sektorer gör att vi kan undvika de största hindren som traditionellt uppstått i den analytiska överföringen från utvecklade till utvecklingsländer. Vårt fokus minskar beroendet av homogena välfärdskontexter och kan appliceras på heterogena kontexter. Projektet bidrar också till att fördjupa internationellt samarbete inom välfärds- och socialpolitisk forskning genom det nätverk mellan svenska och asiatiska forskare som utgör projektets grund. För övrigt utvidgar projektet analytiska metoder inom forskningsområdet genom att vi utvecklar en modell för jämförande forskning av välfärd inom olika sektorer. Slutligen bör nämnas att projektet i sig utgör en inventering av pågående välfärds- och socialpolitisk forskning i Sverige och våra partnerländer, en inventering som i sig utgör en kunskapsplattform som blir grunden för framtida projekt i vilka projektgruppen kommer att samarbeta.

Vår energihungriga värld blir allt mer beroende av nya metoder att utvinna, lagra och omvandla energi på ett miljövänligt sätt. I dagens mobila samhälle använder vi portabla elektroniska applikationer, transport av människor och varor ökar ständigt. Därför är det viktigt att utveckla säkra, ekonomiska och miljövänliga energikällor. Att lagra energi i form av väte skulle vare ett idealiskt syntetiskt bränsle. Väte är det tredje vanligaste ämnet på jorden och är det kemiska bränsle som har högst energiinnehåll per massenhet. Förbränning av väte är miljövänligt eftersom den enda biprodukt som bildas är vatten. Det finns dock problem med lagringen av väte som måste lösas. Att lagra väte i form av gas kräver väldigt högt tryck och medför tunga behållare och stora säkerhetsrisker. Om vätet kyls ner till låga temperaturer kan det lagras i vätskeform, men detta medför stora kostnader samt kräver tung utrustning. Ett tredje alternativ är att lagra vätet inuti fasta material. I dagens läge finns såkallade metallhydrider som kan lagra stora mängder väte per volymenhet. Säkerhetsaspekten hos dessa material är också mycket bra. Dock är väteinnehållet per viktenhet ännu för lågt. För att kunna höja väteinnehållet per viktenhet måste vikten hos metallerna som vätet binds i sänkas. Därför är element som Li, B, N, C, Na och Mg intressant som material att lagra väte i. Tyvärr binder dessa material vätet med starka kovalenta bindningar eller jonbindningar vilket gör att temperaturerna som behövs för att frigöra vätet är höga. För att kunna förbättra egenskaperna hos dessa material, krävs ökad förståelse av bindningarna mellan väte och dessa lättmetaller samt på vilket sätt bindningsegenskaperna kan förändras. Egenskaperna kan förändras genom olika defekter eller dopning. Strukturen hos materialen spelar även en vikig roll när ett materials egenskaper bestäms. Material kan uppvisa förändringar i egenskaper beroende på ifall det är i form av t.ex. ett fast material, ytor eller små partiklar. I nanostrukturmaterial, som t.ex. nanotuber, är inte problemet som hos metallhydriderna att vätet binds för starkt utan istället binds vätet för svagt. Detta gör att det krävs låga temperaturer för att materialet skall kunna behålla vätet. I de här fallet behövs istället hittas sätt att förändra egenskaperna hos materialen för att höja temperaturen vid vilken vätet kan lagras. För att finna ett praktiskt användbart material för vätelagring krävs kunskap om egenskaperna av bindningarna mellan väte och olika material. De kinematiska och termodynamiska egenskaperna är mycket viktiga för ett praktiskt användbart vätelagringsmaterial. Elektronstrukturberäkningar och molekyldynamiksimuleringar är två billiga verktyg med vilka bindningsegenskaper, kinematiska egenskaper, termodynamiska egenskaper samt effekter av dopning och defekter hos olika material kan undersökas. Dessa teoretiska redskap kan ge ökad förståelse om strukturen och processerna bakom absorption, lagring och desorption av väte i fasta material samt hur egenskaperna i dessa material kan förändras. Experimentella efterforskningar för att finna material som på ett effektivt sätt kan härbärgera väte är mycket tidskrävande och dyrt. Teoretisk forskning däremot skulle kunna spara både tid och pengar.

The investigation will lead to the development of a joint research program for further studies into poverty through the establishment of common methodologies and networks between the countries. The research methodology will be qualitative and new for the countries and will be the platform for the future scientific work. The partners represent core research groups in social work in each country and the future target is that the results will be possible to use in practical work in society. The project will run for three years and disseminate its results in the partner countries as well as outside. Mänskliga resurser i fattigdom och funktionshinder ? ett familjeperspektiv Fas ett: har målsättningen att diskutera olika ansatser för att förstå problemet fattigdom I en familjekontext och att diskutera studiens metodologi. Vilka innebörder i begreppet ?familjefattigdom? arbetar specialister med och med vilka forskningsredskap kan dessa innebörder fångas och studeras? I denna del av projektet utvecklas en förståelse av fenomenet ?fattigdom? i ett kulturhistoriskt och postmodernt perspektiv. Huvudaktörerna i denna del är forskarna själva, representanter för universiteten. I detta sammanhang planerar vi genomföra ett stort seminarium med representanter för deltagarna från de medverkande länderna för att diskutera problem sammanbundna med fattigdom. Ett träningsseminarium skall genomföras med målsättning att diskutera kvalitativ forskningsmetodologi. Resultatet av detta kommer att mynna ut i en rapport som sammanställer huvudresultaten från diskussionerna om fattigdomsperspektiven (Ukraina). Fas två: har målsättningen att studera de faktorer som genererar en bild av fenomenet och strategier för att hantera fattigdom i familjer med barn och ungdom med funktionshinder i sin utveckling. Med utgångspunkt i deltagarländernas lagstiftning kommer vi att analysera de huvudsakliga ekonomiska indikatorerna för fenomenet. Fyra fokusgrupper kommer att sättas samman i vart och ett av de deltagande länderna med familjer som har barn med utvecklingssvårigheter upp till tre års ålder eller ungdomar mellan 14 ? 16 år. Å ena sidan är vi intresserade av åldersgruppssamples p g a att vi känner till några grundläggande statistiska data som t ex från Ukraina där ??. De fattigaste är inte pensionärer utan familjer med barn under tre år?.?. Å andra sidan vill vi ha en övergripande bild av den ?brist på framtid? för ungdomar med utvecklingsfunktionshinder som kommer ut från specialskolor och får rollen ?pensionärer?. Sociala och kulturella indikatorer, som deltagande eller delaktighet i olika delar av samhället, utbildning, anställning, fritid etc ? allt som skapar förutsättningar för välbefinnande och kvalitet i familjeliv, eller, som kontrast, brist på deltagande och delaktighet - termen ?fattigdom? - kommer att presenteras med utgångspunkt i analysen från fokusgrupperna med familjer. Det sociala minimibehovet definieras så att människor skall kunna delta full tut I ett socialt samliv och att vidmakthålla en initierad social relation. Om deras livsresurser faller under en viss miniminivå, kommer de att uteslutas. Resultatet från denna fas kommer att bli texterna utskrivna från fokusgrupperna. Resultaten kommer att diskuteras vid en gemensam workshop för projektdeltagarna (Moldova). Fas tre:. Under denna fas kommer djupintervjuer att genomföras och förhoppningsvis möjligheten att genomföra videodokumentationer av hemmiljöer för analys för att åstadkomma visualisering av fenomenet. Bland familjer med barn/ungdom med utvecklingshinder, definierade som ?tydligt fattiga? kommer att utväljas två familjer I varje land. Forsknikngsfokus i denna fas blir att få en beskrivning och visualisering av fenomenet, vad det innebär att vara en fattig familj med barn/ungdom, vad det betyder att leva i fattigdom och att överleva och handskas med fattigdom i vardagen. Som ett resultat av denna studie blir utskrifter av intervjuerna och resultat av den genomförda kvalitativa analysen.

The investigation will lead to the development of a joint research program for further studies into poverty through the establishment of common methodologies and networks between the countries. The research methodology will be qualitative and new for the countries and will be the platform for the future scientific work. The partners represent core research groups in social work in each country and the future target is that the results will be possible to use in practical work in society. The project will run for three years and disseminate its results in the partner countries as well as outside. Mänskliga resurser i fattigdom och funktionshinder ? ett familjeperspektiv Fas ett: har målsättningen att diskutera olika ansatser för att förstå problemet fattigdom I en familjekontext och att diskutera studiens metodologi. Vilka innebörder i begreppet ?familjefattigdom? arbetar specialister med och med vilka forskningsredskap kan dessa innebörder fångas och studeras? I denna del av projektet utvecklas en förståelse av fenomenet ?fattigdom? i ett kulturhistoriskt och postmodernt perspektiv. Huvudaktörerna i denna del är forskarna själva, representanter för universiteten. I detta sammanhang planerar vi genomföra ett stort seminarium med representanter för deltagarna från de medverkande länderna för att diskutera problem sammanbundna med fattigdom. Ett träningsseminarium skall genomföras med målsättning att diskutera kvalitativ forskningsmetodologi. Resultatet av detta kommer att mynna ut i en rapport som sammanställer huvudresultaten från diskussionerna om fattigdomsperspektiven (Ukraina). Fas två: har målsättningen att studera de faktorer som genererar en bild av fenomenet och strategier för att hantera fattigdom i familjer med barn och ungdom med funktionshinder i sin utveckling. Med utgångspunkt i deltagarländernas lagstiftning kommer vi att analysera de huvudsakliga ekonomiska indikatorerna för fenomenet. Fyra fokusgrupper kommer att sättas samman i vart och ett av de deltagande länderna med familjer som har barn med utvecklingssvårigheter upp till tre års ålder eller ungdomar mellan 14 ? 16 år. Å ena sidan är vi intresserade av åldersgruppssamples p g a att vi känner till några grundläggande statistiska data som t ex från Ukraina där ??. De fattigaste är inte pensionärer utan familjer med barn under tre år?.?. Å andra sidan vill vi ha en övergripande bild av den ?brist på framtid? för ungdomar med utvecklingsfunktionshinder som kommer ut från specialskolor och får rollen ?pensionärer?. Sociala och kulturella indikatorer, som deltagande eller delaktighet i olika delar av samhället, utbildning, anställning, fritid etc ? allt som skapar förutsättningar för välbefinnande och kvalitet i familjeliv, eller, som kontrast, brist på deltagande och delaktighet - termen ?fattigdom? - kommer att presenteras med utgångspunkt i analysen från fokusgrupperna med familjer. Det sociala minimibehovet definieras så att människor skall kunna delta full tut I ett socialt samliv och att vidmakthålla en initierad social relation. Om deras livsresurser faller under en viss miniminivå, kommer de att uteslutas. Resultatet från denna fas kommer att bli texterna utskrivna från fokusgrupperna. Resultaten kommer att diskuteras vid en gemensam workshop för projektdeltagarna (Moldova). Fas tre:. Under denna fas kommer djupintervjuer att genomföras och förhoppningsvis möjligheten att genomföra videodokumentationer av hemmiljöer för analys för att åstadkomma visualisering av fenomenet. Bland familjer med barn/ungdom med utvecklingshinder, definierade som ?tydligt fattiga? kommer att utväljas två familjer I varje land. Forsknikngsfokus i denna fas blir att få en beskrivning och visualisering av fenomenet, vad det innebär att vara en fattig familj med barn/ungdom, vad det betyder att leva i fattigdom och att överleva och handskas med fattigdom i vardagen. Som ett resultat av denna studie blir utskrifter av intervjuerna och resultat av den genomförda kvalitativa analysen. Planen är att genomföra ett forsknings- och metodutvecklingsseminarium, och att inbjuda externa metodiker inom den kvalitativa forskningen att diskutera och handleda runt resultaten av intervjuanalysen (Uppsala).

The intention is not only to define a protocol for the determination of the ultimate biogas/methane potential for a variety of biomass, but also to develop the suitable protocol as a tool for assisting feasibility studies of biogas plants, bio-wastes management projects, as well as evaluating and developing technologies for minimization of greenhouse gas (GHG) emission. Produktion av biogas, genom anaerob nedbrytning av organiskt material, erbjuder en mycket intressant möjlighet att reducera koldioxidutsläppen och samtidigt minska beroendet av fossila bränslen. Den energirika biogasen (metan) kan användas för flera olika syften, exempelvis: värme- och elproduktion samt miljövänligt fordonsbränsle. Biogas kan framställas från en mängd olika typer av organiskt material och produktionen kan därför anpassas efter resurserna som finns lokalt tillgängliga. För att kunna dimensionera anläggningar och veta de miljömässiga vinsterna, i form av minskade koldioxidutsläpp och mängder organisk avfall, är det därför viktigt att veta hur mycket gas man kan få ut av det organiska materialet. En populär metod för detta är anaeroba utrötningsförsök i vilka man under kontrollerade förhållanden rötar ut materialet fullständigt och samtidigt mäter den producerade gasen. Resultatet från dessa är dock starkt beroende av vilka förhållanden som används i testet. I dagsläget finns flera internationellt erkända standarder som beskriver olika metodiker för hur sådana test ska gå till. Problemet är att de kan vara otydliga och inkonsekventa vilket leder till att forskare och biogasproducenter världen över använder olika tekniker med olika resultat som följd. Syftet med projektet är att se över befintliga standarder och parametrar som påverkar resultaten i ett anaerobt utrötningsförsök och, baserat på detta, utveckla en metodik som både är enkel att följa och som minimerar risken för orimliga resultat. Projektet genomförs som ett samarbete mellan Sverige (Lunds Universitet) och Kina (Tsinghua University, Beijing University of Chemical Technology och Chinese Academy of Science). Samarbetet syftar till att utnyttja kunskaperna och erfarenheterna från både den svenska och kinesiska sidan och samtidigt främja utbytet mellan de båda länderna. Projektets mål är att bidra till en mer generell och enhetlig utvärdering av organiskt material för biogasproduktion. Förhoppningarna är att en mer globalt erkänd och pålitlig standard kommer att stärka incitamenten för uppförandet av nya biogasanläggningar genom att bland annat underlätta för dimensionering och placering av dessa.

Both PhD Petra Löfstedt at The Swedish Institute of Public Health and Professor Max Petzold at Nordic School of Public Health has had a long-tem collaboration with the School of Public Health, Peking University, China (People's Republic of). This bi-lateral project will definitely deepen the collaboration and communication between Swedish and Chinese institutions. A deeper understanding of the causes and consequences of the problem with ?missing girls? in China (People's Republic of). A preference of sons over daughters has always been a part of the Chinese culture. It has partly been manifested in a high so-called sex ratio at birth (SRB), i.e. the number of boys born per hundred girls. Under normal circumstances, there are approximately 105-107 boys born per 100 girls. Historical documents suggest that China (People's Republic of) has had high SRB for centuries and well into the mid 2000th century. By the beginning of the 1970s SRB in China (People's Republic of) was within the normal range, but after the introduction of the one-child-policy in 1979, it has risen steadily. Most alarming is the fact that the SRB has recently continued to increase in some areas and, at the same time, have spread to new geographic areas and social groups, previously unaffected. The latest available statistics show that in 2005, the SRB was 120.5 national wide. According to the 2000 census, the estimated number of China (People's Republic of)?s missing girls was 40.9 million. Son preference? has been considered particularly strong in rural areas and among less educated parents and it has been implied that the current high sex ratios may be a transitory phenomenon that will diminish with modernization. Contrary to these expectations, the SRB is now rising even in urban areas, among well-educated couples. The rising sex ratio, in the context of the rapid demographic transition with falling fertility, is considered as one of the most alarming demographic and social issues in China (People's Republic of) today. The issue of the ?missing girls? in China (People's Republic of) has aroused broad attention from scholars, the public, Chinese central and provincial governments, and the international community. Most studies, though, have focused on regional trends trends and differences, but very little research has been conducted on a deeper understanding of the causes and consequences of the increasing SRBs. The project ?Dynamics and Consequences of Sex Ratio at Birth in China (People's Republic of)? is mainly a qualitative study, with in-depth interviews with young couples in one rural and one urban area in Northern China (People's Republic of). An additional study includes interviews with village level officials. The project focuses on the on cultural, religious and socio-economic factors that have stimulated and intensified son preference, for example the lack of a social-security system, especially in rural areas, decision-making within the family, and the strict patrilineal and patrilocal family system in China (People's Republic of), which put the responsibilities upon male descendants for economic, socio-cultural and religious functions, all of which encourage son preference. This collaborative research will, in line with the recommendation form WHO, contribute to a further understanding and the magnitude of the problem with ?missing girls?, as a basis for policies and rising the public awareness of gender inequalities, discrimination of girls and of the long-term societal consequences&#65292;such as high suicide rate of women in rural areas.

Att bedöma och hantera elevers matematiska fel är en viktig del av en matematiklärares arbetsuppgifter. Att elever ger felaktiga svar och att lärare ibland har svårt att bemöta dessa svar kan bero på att såväl elever som lärare tänker och förstår matematik på olika sätt. Elever och lärare är också del av ett större sammanhang, vilket gör att även kulturella värderingar får genomslag i lärares sätt att bemöta elevernas felaktiga svar. Internationella jämförelser visar att lärare i USA undviker att diskutera elevers misstag av hänsyn till elevernas självkänsla. Detta står i stark kontrast till japanska lärare, som i stället använder sig av matematiska fel som en grund för fortsatt diskussion.

The joint research project will be started in 2012 and conducted by the partners. By desire to promote and facilitate cooperative exchange of ideas and knowledge, an initiative was initiated in 2010 between Karlstad University, Sweden and three well renowned Bangladeshi institutions. Researchers of both the countries will get the opportunities to share knowledge and skills and the data through this research program will be utilized for joint publications and exchange program for students of both countries who thereby will get opportunities to be enrolled in the doctoral program and the data will be used for preparing their thesis. The results of the project may help policy makers, business organizations and NGOs to understand and deal with the changing dynamics of the problem. Child labour and protection are very sensitive issues that goes beyond the social norms, where economic gain and survival are the key. To fight against child labour and to identify the severity of the problem in terms of injury in the working sectors in low income countries, the international community has to act together. Through the current project, the partners may have chance to contribute to development of data and knowledge in the national Bangladeshi context, using a variety of methodologies. The current proposal aims at investigating the extent and characteristics of the mental and physical violence, injury or abuse, neglect or ill-treatment of children aged 5-17 years in their work places in Bangladesh. This project is part of broader research goals of a collaborative initiative between Karlstad University, Sweden and three renowned Bangladeshi research organizations (i.e. Centre for Injury Prevention Bangladesh, CIPR,B; Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University, BSMMU; Institute of Child and Mother Health, ICMH). The collaborative initiative was established in June 2011 in order to meet two broader goals - development of interactive, international and interdisciplinary collaborative research, and supporting and building capacity for the local institutions in Bangladesh to fight injury, violence and ill-treatment of children, as well as poverty. With growing concern of the child rights and child protection from hazardous work situations in low income countries, UN Convention of the Rights of the Child (CRC) articulated child protection from any forms of violence, injury and abuse. CRC also addressed the child rights to seek social, mental, moral development and protection from economic exploitation and hazardous work situations. Also, data from the International Labour Organisation (ILO), UNICEF and local sources indicates the severity of the problem where children are more vulnerable to be treated violently at their workplace. Accidental injuries are also common among the working children. By using existing data from a routinely collected system in three rural and one urban setting and conducting qualitative interview and group discussions, the current research project may provide a clear picture of the level and characteristics of the injury problems among the child laborers. This project may foster a method that can later be implemented for policy development and for poverty reduction. The joint research activities will enhance opportunity to work together between the two countries and can help to develop effective sustainable collaboration, which furthermore can add national and international benefits.

Researchers of both the countries will get the opportunities to share knowledge and skills and the data through this research program will be utilized for joint publications and exchange program for students of both countries who thereby will get opportunities to be enrolled in the doctoral program and the data will be used for preparing their thesis. The results of the project may help policy makers, business organizations and NGOs to understand and deal with the changing dynamics of the problem. Child labour and protection are very sensitive issues that goes beyond the social norms, where economic gain and survival are the key. To fight against child labour and to identify the severity of the problem in terms of injury in the working sectors in low income countries, the international community has to act together. Through the current project, the partners may have chance to contribute to development of data and knowledge in the national Bangladeshi context, using a variety of methodologies. The current proposal aims at investigating the extent and characteristics of the mental and physical violence, injury or abuse, neglect or ill-treatment of children aged 5-17 years in their work places in Bangladesh. This project is part of broader research goals of a collaborative initiative between Karlstad University, Sweden and three renowned Bangladeshi research organizations (i.e. Centre for Injury Prevention Bangladesh, CIPR,B; Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University, BSMMU; Institute of Child and Mother Health, ICMH). The collaborative initiative was established in June 2011 in order to meet two broader goals - development of interactive, international and interdisciplinary collaborative research, and supporting and building capacity for the local institutions in Bangladesh to fight injury, violence and ill-treatment of children, as well as poverty. With growing concern of the child rights and child protection from hazardous work situations in low income countries, UN Convention of the Rights of the Child (CRC) articulated child protection from any forms of violence, injury and abuse. CRC also addressed the child rights to seek social, mental, moral development and protection from economic exploitation and hazardous work situations. Also, data from the International Labour Organisation (ILO), UNICEF and local sources indicates the severity of the problem where children are more vulnerable to be treated violently at their workplace. Accidental injuries are also common among the working children. By using existing data from a routinely collected system in three rural and one urban setting and conducting qualitative interview and group discussions, the current research project may provide a clear picture of the level and characteristics of the injury problems among the child laborers. This project may foster a method that can later be implemented for policy development and for poverty reduction. The joint research activities will enhance opportunity to work together between the two countries and can help to develop effective sustainable collaboration, which furthermore can add national and international benefits.

At the same time, there is a risk that women are once again being marginalized. Women have been very active in the democratic uprisings, especially in Tunisia and Egypt. However, without deliberately focus on how to include women and on the effects of the new quota laws, there is a risk of very little improvement, even a risk of backlash. This research collaboration between Swedish and Arab researchers will focus on the crucial importance of agency, institutional and discursive changes for the new public life in the Arab region. The aim of this project is to develop research ties and collaboration between Swedish and Arab researchers - particularly resrearchers based in North Africa- that are experts on women´s political participation and representation. One key theme is the use of new social media, especially by younger women. The research collaboration will consist of research visits between Sweden and North Africa; two workshops and one larger conference; a PhD course (2-4 ECTS) for younger scholars doing research in this field; joint elite interviews and a common book project. The principal partners are WIP, Women in Politics Research Centre at the Department of Political Science at Stockholm University and CAWTAR, Center for Arab Women Training and Research, settled in Tunis, Tunisia, but working at the regional level. Den senaste händelseutvecklingen i Arabvärlden - den arabiska våren - med revolter mot förtryckande regimer och krav på demokrati ger också kvinnor nya möjligheter till makt och inflytande i politiken. Men samtidigt som en kraftansamling för att skapa nya, politiska system och stabila demokratier har påbörjats, finns en risk att kvinnor återigen underordnas och marginaliseras. Många forskare och kvinnoorganisationer i regionen baserar sitt arbete för kvinnors politiska inflytande på detta dubbla perspektiv. Ett av projektets huvudsyfte är således att studera hur kvinnors tillgång till makt och inflytande i politiken har påverkats efter den arabiska våren. Kvinnor var mycket aktiva i de demokratiska upproren i Arabvärlden, särskilt i Tunisien och Egypten. De spelade en avgörande roll genom att aktivt delta i demonstrationer, ofta med risk för sina liv, men också genom att sprida meddelanden och synpunkter via sociala medier och därigenom utmana gamla maktstrukturer. Men i återbyggnaden av de politiska institutionerna har deras roll varit mycket begränsad, om inte obefintlig. Feministiska forskare och kvinnorörelsen i regionen är väl medveten om att det finns flera historiska exempel på att kvinnor åter förpassas till hemmen efter att ha deltagit i revolutionära processer och att den för regionen höga kvinnorepresentationen, 27,6 % i Tunisien (2009), inte är för alltid given. Sammantaget utmanar den arabiska våren befintliga teorier om kvinnors politiska representation. Kombinationen av faktorer, inklusive den omfattande användningen av sociala medier gör situationen unik. Man kan hävda att nya vägar till politiskt inflytande har öppnats, inte minst genom inrättandet av nya politiska partier, ett nytt valsystem, och nya regler om könskvotering. Vilka konsekvenser dessa förändringar kommer att få för kvinnors politiska representation är relevant för hela regionen och något som kommer att studeras i detta projekt. Projektet, som utgår från de deltagande forskarnas expertis och tidigare forskning på området, ämnar genom ett 3-årigt samarbete att utveckla och bredda redan pågående forskning. Detta projekt är ett forskningssamarbete mellan WiP (Women in Politics Research Center), Statsvetenskapliga institutionen vid Stockholms universitet och CAWTAR (Center for Arab Women Training and Research) i Tunis, Tunisien. Projektet avser framförallt att föra samman svenska och tunisiska forskare inom området kön och politisk deltagelse och representation. Inom detta område kommer tre teman att särskilt fokuseras: 1, agency, 2, institutionell förändring och 3, diskursiv förändring. Den första tematiken handlar om frågor såsom i vilken utsträckning den arabiska våren har bidragit till mobilisering av nya grupper, särskilt nya grupper inom kategorierna ?kvinnor? och ?unga?? Den andra tematiken koncentreras kring studiet av insatser och trender för att öka kvinnors politiska inflytande i nya politiska regimer, såsom institutionella förändringar av valsystem, partisystem, kvoteringssystem och dess konsekvenser för en ökad kvinnorepresentation. Den tredje tematiken fokuserar diskursiva spänningar och förändringar, närmare bestämt hur kvinnorörelsen har ramat in sina krav på politiskt deltagande och vilken syn på kvinnor och kvinnliga politiker som dessa diskurser ger uttryck för. Inom ramen för projektet kommer flera seminarier i Sverige och i Tunisien arrangeras, samt en avslutande konferens i MENA-regionen. Syftet bakom dessa aktiviteter är att föra samman specialister på området, författa en redigerad antologi om nya vägar till politiskt inflytande för kvinnor i Arabvärlden. Forskare från andra institutioner vid Stockholms universitet och från andra universitet i Sverige liksom forskare från universitet runt om i Arabvärlden, speciellt Nordafrika, kommer att bli inkluderade i nätverket och flera har redan uttryckt en önskan om att få delta.

Human and financial toll due to adverse events is high specially in developing countries like Bangladesh, due to failure in the design, organization and operation of the system. This proposal plans to develop a support system to reduce hazards and errors and improve the quality of care and safety. ICUs organizational structure, process and the occurrence of adverse outcomes will be studied. A multidisciplinary team from Sweden and Bangladesh will work together to study the factors related to Patient safety. Hazards related to medical device use will be addressed during device development as part of the risk management. Guidelines will be developed to detect failures and complications, spread patient safety principles. This work will provide a template to improve the safety aspects at the ICU employing ICT tools, to develop capabilities specifically in the areas of electronic medical records, medical equipment management and maintenance routine, medical and health education to prevent a person from being placed at risk of injury due to dangerous or defective devices or procedures. After the finalisation of this proposed project, we anticipate a continuation and replication of the project at other hospitals and clinics in Bangladesh, and other developing countries. To develop a model of patient safety system to improve the quality of patient care at the Intensive Care Units at the hospitals in Bangladesh The Intensive Care Unit (ICU) equipped with modern life support devices is particularly prone to problems related to patient safety. WHO noted with concern that there is a high human and financial toll due to adverse events and most of the harm to the patients is due to failure in the design, organization and operation of the system. The conditions are more acute in the developing countries like Bangladesh where there is a serious lack of risk management system. This proposal aims to provide a better understanding for the errors, risks and accidents related to the use of medical devices at the ICU, and to develop a support system using ICT tools in order to reduce hazards and errors and thus improve the quality of performance, care and cost effectiveness at the ICU. A multidisciplinary team from Sweden and Bangladesh will work together to study Patient factors, Task factors, Provider factors, Team factors and Institutional environment factors. The team will develop guidelines to detect failures and complications, spread patient safety principles and set the stage for further work to ensure safe and effective use of medical devices and thus improve patient safety and care. Potential use-related hazards will be identified using human factors engineering. The work will also describe how hazards related to medical device use should be addressed during device development as part of the risk management process guidance. Engineering and organisational skills will be developed to provide increased risk management activities to improve patient safety. A reporting system that allows clinicians and others to understand the problem will be created. This work will provide a template for future clinicians, researchers, and policy makers to improve the safety aspects at the ICU to bring benefit to all patients, poor and female in particular, who are dependent on the government hospitals. ICT tools will be employed to start developing electronic medical records, medical equipment management and maintenance routine, medical and health education to prevent a person from being placed at risk of injury due to dangerous or defective devices or procedures. The project will increase visibility of the ICT related activities for better safety at the hospitals in the developing countries. The project?s impact would be; effective intensive care with reduced risk, fewer people in accident, enhanced efficiencies in the health sector, provide better health, increase ability for higher income and thus reduce poverty. Therefore, the project will make significant contribution to achieve to support developing countries for better access to health information, delivery of safe medical knowledge and communication for the benefit of the patients After the finalisation of this proposed project, we anticipate a continuation and replication of the project at other hospitals and clinics in Bangladesh, and other developing countries.

The aim of this application to the Swedish Research Links programme is to provide means for scientists from Jordan, Egypt and Sweden to meet and collaborate. The objectives of the proposed collaboration are (1) to test if new variants of TYLCV are emerging; (2) to use transgenic plants to reveal aspects of virus-host interactions and to generate virus-resistant plants; (3) to use fruit as a model to study virus-host interactions. There will be visits and exchange of scientists and students as well as organisation of annual workshops. The combination of expertise in plant virology and plant molecular biology from Sweden and the MENA region will be very valuable when addressing the research questions related to TYLCV diversity and resistance.

Virus infekterar växter och kan då orsaka allvarliga sjukdomar med stora skördeförluster. Begomovirus har dykt upp som en viktig patogen på många grödor i tropiska och subtropiska regioner runt hela världen. Arvsmassan hos begomovirus består av DNA, vilket annars är ovanligt för växtinfekterande virus. Begomovirus överförs mellan växter av en art av vita flygare: Bemisia tabaci. Tomat påverkas av många olika begomovirus. År 2007 hade 55 arter av begomovirus rapporterats infektera tomat i Europa, Asien, Afrika, Sydamerika, Nordamerika och Australien. En del av dessa begomovirus orsakar sjukdomen tomato yellow leaf curl disease (TYLCD), vilket anses vara en av de allvarligaste sjukdomarna på tomat. I medelhavsregionen har Tomato yellow leaf curl virus (TYLCV) och Tomato yellow leaf curl Sardinia virus (TYLCSV) snabbt spridits och de är nu vanliga. Nyligen har också nya begomovirus uppträtt i Spanien som ett resultat av utbyte av genetiskt material mellan olika virus. TYLCV har spritt sig från medelhavsregionen till andra delar av världen, inklusive Nordamerika och Ostasien. Det har antagligen skett genom transport av infekterade växter. Att begomovirus framträtt som en viktig patogen har förknippats med spridningen av biotyp B av B. tabaci. Kontroll av insektsvektorn med insekticider försvåras av att den lätt utvecklar resistens. För närvarande finns det heller inga tomatsorter som är helt resistenta mot begomovirus. Kontrollen av TYLCD är därför beroende av odlingsmetoder som förhindrar virusspridning och utvecklandet av resistenta tomatsorter. För effektiv kontroll av TYLCV är det nödvändigt med forskning på virusdiversitet och evolution, vektorn B. tabaci, och virusresistens. TYLCD är av signifikant betydelse i MENA-regionen. Även i Sverige finns det risk för att begomovirus och B. tabaci etablerar sig i växthus. De tre sökandena Dr. Anders Kvarnheden (Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet), Professor Toba Osman (Fayoum University, Egypten) och Dr. Ayed Al-Abdallat (University of Jordan) kommer att kombinera sin expertis för att öka kunskapen om TYLCD-associerade virus och hur TYLCD kan kontrolleras. Olika molekylära verktyg kommer att användas för detta projekt. Tomatprover insamlade i Egypten, Jordanien och Sverige (importerad frukt) kommer att analyseras för att studera virusdiversitet och för att detektera eventuella nya stammar och arter av begomovirus. Fokus kommer speciellt ligga på tomatplantor som uppvisar nya typer av symtom. Transgena tomatplantor kommer användas för att förstå växt-virusinteraktioner och för att erhålla virusresistens. Förmågan hos olika begomovirus från medelhavsregionen och Afrika att infektera de transgena plantorna kommer att undersökas. Resistensen mot TYLCD ska kunna motstå infektion från existerande och nya begomovirus samt de DNA-satelliter som ofta följer med begomovirus. Det är dåligt känt hur begomovirus infekterar frukt och hur de påverkar fruktutvecklingen. För att studera virus-värdinteraktioner på cellnivå kommer frukter av olika ålder samlas in från infekterade tomatplantor och virusmängder och virusets utbredning i frukten bestämmas. Årliga workshops kommer anordnas i Jordanien, Sverige och Egypten för att diskutera projektets framsteg och för planering. De tre sökandena samt deltagande doktorander och masterstudenter kommer delta i dessa workshops. Mötena kommer också omfatta en öppen del för forskare och användare i regionen. Projektet kommer vara en viktig plattform för att initiera ytterligare samarbeten mellan de deltagande universiteten och länderna. Visionen är att projektet är startpunkten för ett långtgående samarbete, som också omfattar andra länder med ett intresse för TYLCV.

HCAIs are characterized by high rates of antimicrobial use and resistance. Previous studies in Ethiopia indicated 59% of patients attending the surgical ward at Tikur-Anbessa University Hospital (TAH) acquired HCAI. HCAI is a major problem in Ethiopian Hospitals. The present study is designed through research collaboration between Karolinska Institutet and Addis Ababa University to perform the first controlled intervention testing in Ethiopia through capacity building and knowledge transfer for early identification and prevention of HCAIs and antimicrobial-resistance. The study focuses in 2 major areas that are inseparable (HCAIs + antimicrobial use and resistance). A 3-phase prospective study will be conducted at TAH in Addis Ababa. First baseline surveillance study will be done to identify the prevalence, severity, etiology, risk factors, pathogens responsible for HCAIs and antimicrobial resistance, spread pattern, knowledge, practice and attitudes of healthcare staff towards HCAIs. In the 2nd phase, educational interventions will be introduced based on the gap and problems identified. In the 3rd phase we will evaluate the impact of intervention. The study will strengthen further the existing collaboration between Karolinska and Addis Ababa University to fight against infection outbreak, epidemics of communicable diseases and poverty. Antimikrobiell resistens är ett av de allvarligaste hoten mot folkhälsan, och om inget görs riskerar vi att stå utan många av de läkemedel som utgör grunden för den moderna sjukvården. Ett område som särskilt prioriterats av europeiska smittskyddsmyndigheten, och som starkt berör resistensproblematiken, är vårdrelaterade infektioner. Vårdrelaterade infektioner (sjukhusinfektioner) är ett stort problem som orsakar ökad sjukhusvistelse, kostnader för behandling och dödlighet. Vårdrelaterade infektioner (VRI) drabbar patient till följd av vård, undersökning eller behandling inom hälso- och sjukvård eller tandvård oavsett om det sjukdomsalstrande ämnet tillförs i samband med vården eller härrör från patienten själv samt oavsett om infektionstillståndet yppas under eller efter vårdtillfället. Med VRI avses även infektionstillstånd som personal ådragit sig till följd av arbetet. Dessa problem är i länder med låg sjukdomsstandard enligt sporadiska rapporter än avsevärt större om än dåligt undersökt. Överföring av VRI från tidigare patienter, besökare och personal kan leda till utbrott och spridas ut till samhället. Behandling av VRI är komplicerat på grund av hög förekomst av multiresistenta bakterier (MRB) och hälso- och omsorg kan fungera som förstärkare av utbrott, öka antalet nya fall. Tidigare studier i Etiopien har visat att upp till 59% av patienterna på en kirurgavdelning vid Tikur Anbessa sjukhus, fick en vårdrelaterad sårinfektion framförallt av multiresistenta gramnegativa bakterier . En hög andel (63%) av vårdrelaterade urinvägsinfektioner orsakades av MRB vid samma sjukhus. Flera studier visat att antibiotikaresistens och VRI är ett stort problem i Etiopien, har ingen interventionsstudie för att förebygga dessa infektioner har hittills genomförts. Det är tydligt visat att många VRI kan förebyggas genom övervakning och olika interventions program. Antimikrobiell resistens är vanligare vid VRI jämfört med samhällsförvärvade infektioner. Inom sjukhus ses högst andel av antibiotikaresistens på enheter med högst antibiotikaanvändning. Därför har denna studie fokuserat på dessa för VRI fundamentala och oskiljaktiga problemområden (VRI + antimikrobiella användningen och resistens). Målet är att genom kapacitetsuppbyggnad och kunskapsöverföring etablera hållbara övervakningsprogram för kontroll av VRI och skapa vårdhygieniska team och nätverk med uppgift att arbeta med förebyggande åtgärder i enlighet med nationella program ör infektionskontroll och riktlinjer för rationell antibiotikaanvändning. Den aktuella studien är den första studien av detta slag i landet och genomförs som en prospektiv interventionsstudie i tre faser vid Tikur Anbessa Universitetssjukhus i Addis Abeba, Etiopien. I fas 1 genomförs en observationell studie för att identifiera smittkällor och riskfaktorer för VRI, prevalens av antibiotikabehandling, bakteriella orsaker till identifierade fall av VRI och dess antimikrobiella resistensmönster. Kvalitativa metoder kommer att utnyttjas för att utvärdera kunskap och attityder rörande VRI hos vårdpersonal. I fas 2 kommer baserat på problem och brister identifierade under fas 1 en detaljerat protokoll för interventionen att utarbetas i avsikt att förbättra vårdhygieniska rutiner och antibiotikaanvändning samt öka både kunskapen och medvetenheten om VRI. Det europeiska nätverket för metodstandardisering (EUCAST), som har sina rötter i svenska RAF-M, spelar en nyckelroll för de mikrobiologiska metoderna. Ett utbildningsprogram baserat på europeiska smittskyddsmyndigheten (ECDC), WHO och svenska program för kontroll av VRI kommer därvid att utnyttjas. I fasen tre kommer vi att utvärdera effekterna av interventioner genom att upprepa undersökningar som genomförts i fas 1. Studien avser att öka medvetenhet, kompetens och kvalitet i det förebyggande arbetet av VRI och generera evidensbaserad rekommendationer för beslutsfattare för tidig upptäckt av VRI, kontroll av utbrottssituationer.

Such knowledge can foster the development of sustainable implementation modalities suitable to local contexts, and serve as base for further planning of care and informed decision making in the area. In studies in Sweden and Denmark we have found that home-based care with support of staff in different areas in paediatric care activates the family´s own resources, decreases the strain on the family, maintains normality and an ordinary everyday life and fulfills the need for safety and security to lower costs. Ethiopia is one of the low income countries in sub-Saharan Africa highly affected by the HIV/AIDS epidemic and its devastating socioeconomic effects since more than two decades.

Barn med HIV i hembaserad vård - möjligheter och utmaningar i Etiopien Detta forskningsprojekt riktar sig mot några av de mest utsatta människorna i Etiopien. Barn med HIV och deras vårdare är inte bara utsatta när det gäller dålig ekonomi utan även i form av dålig hälsa, utbildning och socialt stigma vilket ibland även medför socialt utanförskap. Barn med HIV har ofta förlorat en eller båda sina föräldrar i HIV och tas omhand av syskon och släktingar. Bördorna för barnet och familjen är tunga vilket medför att ett stort antal barn aldrig påbörjar behandling och/eller avslutar pågående behandling.

Specifically, phonon spectra are essential for thermodynamic properties and hence phase diagrams. However, first principles calculation of phonon spectra in disordered alloys is a challenging problem due to difficulties in computing the inter-atomic interactions in a random environment. In this proposal, we aim to devise a unique formalism for lattice dynamics in disordered alloys combining first-principles electronic structure methods, physically realistic models of chemical disorder and an analytic mean-field based method for configuration averaging. The effects of short-range order, partial disorder and temperature on the vibrational properties will be studied to interpret the experimental results available for binary metallic alloys, multi-component shape memory alloys, multi-component semiconductor alloys, partially disordered perovskite ferroelectrics and doped multiferroic materials. One of the key objectives will be to build up a database of inter-atomic force constants to serve as a ready reference for the community. This collaboration between Uppsala University and IIT, Guwahati, India involves exchange visits, organization of schools to train young scholars and joint publications. A solid material can be visualized as a rigid crystalline lattice of large number of atoms where the atoms exert forces on one another so as to keep each atom near its equilibrium position. Due to the connections between the atoms, the displacement of one or more atoms from their stable positions will give rise to a set of vibration waves or phonons propagating through the solids. Each phonon is characterized by a wavelength and a frequency. The study of the frequency spectrum of phonons is an important part of solid state physics, because they contribute to the physical properties of materials such as structural stability, thermal and electrical conductivity. For example, propagation of a phonon with a given frequency may disturb the atomic arrangements in a solid significantly leading to an alteration of the crystal structure. Therefore, the stability of a given crystal structure against phonon excitations need be checked first before utilizing the material further. The propagation of phonons is also responsible for heat conduction in insulating materials and the properties of long-wavelength phonons give rise to sound in solids. It, therefore, becomes imperative for a materials scientist to explore the phonon spectra and relate the features with the materials properties. Alloys are materials known from time immortal for their usability in daily life. With the technological advancements, new class of alloys have been attempted to realize new materials with properties that can alter human lives in a significant way. For example, a new class of alloys called shape memory alloys tends to remember their original shapes. Such property has enabled one to use these alloys for various different purposes. Eyeglass frames made out of these alloys can be bent out of shape, yet they return to their parent shape upon heating. A deep fryer made out of these alloys utilizes the thermal sensitivity by lowering the basket into the oil at the correct temperature. Along with metallic alloys, semiconductor alloys too have significant impact on today´s world. It is well known that given the shrinking energy reserves of this planet, new sources of energy have been explored which can be used in a cost-effective manner to benefit the entire humankind. Devising solar cells which convert solar energy into electrical power has been one of the biggest achievements in recent times. The solar cells are made out of semiconductor alloys, for example. It is, however, observed that to increase functionality of the materials, it is necessary to introduce chemical disorder into the parent materials in a controlled way. In a chemically disordered material, a percentage of a certain component is replaced by another element. One example could be in the context of the solar cells with semiconductor materials. A solar cell´s ability to convert sunlight to electric current is limited by the band gap of the semiconductor. For example, semiconductors with wide band gaps respond only to the shorter wavelengths. In order to utilize the full solar spectrum, one therefore has to tune the band gap which can only be done by chemical substitution. Thus, the substitutional disorder must play a key role in the functionalities of the modern materials. This, therefore, leads the materials scientists to first understand the behavior of such materials with various degrees of disorder. The behavior of these materials under phonon excitations must be one of the primary areas one should explore as that is bound to affect the dynamical properties of the materials with target properties as has been explained earlier. In this backdrop, the present proposal carries immense significance as no such elaborate theoretical endeavor has yet been taken up in the community.

Food safety is another important issue in China (People's Republic of), both because food allergy and chemical food contamination. The co-operation will give education within environmental medicine, environmental science and dietary aspects, with a focus on health studies in school and pre-school children. We will establish new large cohorts of school children and perform repeat studies in China (People's Republic of) to study trends in asthma, allergy and respiratory disease, and perform new studies in pre-school children and study the indoor environment in schools and day care centres. We will evaluate the biological properties (oxidative capacity) of airborne outdoor and indoor particles from different parts of China (People's Republic of). Moreover we will study effects of dietary pattern on asthma, allergy and respiratory disease in Chinese children, and study food allergy food intolerance, and study associations between phthalates and other hormone disrupting environmental contaminants in food, and asthma allergy and respiratory disease, by analysing urine levels of chemical contaminants. This will contribute to the knowledge and skill in environmental epidemiology in China (People's Republic of), especially with respect to the environment in schools and day care centres but also the home environment, and add new and important knowledge on risk factors for asthma, allergy, and respiratory disease in China (People's Republic of). Heading: Environmental and dietary studies in Chinese children There is a high level of outdoor air pollution in some parts of China (People's Republic of), due to coal burning, traffic exhausts, and industrial activities. This can influence the health of both adults and children. Since both adults and children spend about 90% of their life indoors, indoor pollution is also important. It has been estimated that globally, indoor air pollution is responsible for nearly 2 million excess deaths per year in developing countries, and for about 4% of the global burden of disease. Both indoor and outdoor air pollution has the strongest impact on the poorer part of the population, because higher exposure levels, and higher susceptibility due to higher exposure levels and poorer nutritional status. In China (People's Republic of), the building stock is rapidly increasing, and new building material, building techniques are introduced and there is an increase of energy use in buildings. This may have consequences for the indoor environment. Dietary pattern is changing, and there is evidence that the levels and chemical contamination of food products is significant and higher than in Europe. One important type of food contamination is by phthalates, bis-phenol A and other hormone disrupting chemicals. We have had co-operation with China (People's Republic of) (Shanxi University and Fudan University and others) since 1998 and we have published about 20 scientific articles together. The co-operation will give education within environmental medicine, environmental science and dietary aspects, with a focus on health studies in school and pre-school children. We will establish new large cohorts of school children and perform repeat studies in China (People's Republic of) to study trends in asthma, allergy and respiratory disease, and perform new studies in pre-school children and study the indoor environment in schools and day care centres. We will evaluate the biological properties (oxidative capacity) of airborne outdoor and indoor particles from different parts of China (People's Republic of). Moreover we will study effects of dietary pattern on asthma, allergy and respiratory disease in Chinese children, and study food allergy food intolerance, and study associations between phthalates and other hormone disrupting environmental contaminants in food, and asthma allergy and respiratory disease, by analysing urine levels of chemical contaminants. Our co-operation will contribute to the increase of knowledge and skill in environmental epidemiology in China (People's Republic of), especially with respect to the environment in schools and day care centres but also the home environment, This will increase the possibility to work with primary prevention in this field.

Heading: Environmental and dietary studies in Chinese children There is a high level of outdoor air pollution in some parts of China (People's Republic of), due to coal burning, traffic exhausts, and industrial activities. This can influence the health of both adults and children. Since both adults and children spend about 90% of their life indoors, indoor pollution is also important. It has been estimated that globally, indoor air pollution is responsible for nearly 2 million excess deaths per year in developing countries, and for about 4% of the global burden of disease. Both indoor and outdoor air pollution has the strongest impact on the poorer part of the population, because higher exposure levels, and higher susceptibility due to higher exposure levels and poorer nutritional status. In China (People's Republic of), the building stock is rapidly increasing, and new building material, building techniques are introduced and there is an increase of energy use in buildings. This may have consequences for the indoor environment. Dietary pattern is changing, and there is evidence that the levels and chemical contamination of food products is significant and higher than in Europe. One important type of food contamination is by phthalates, bis-phenol A and other hormone disrupting chemicals. We have had co-operation with China (People's Republic of) (Shanxi University and Fudan University and others) since 1998 and we have published about 20 scientific articles together. The co-operation will give education within environmental medicine, environmental science and dietary aspects, with a focus on health studies in school and pre-school children. We will establish new large cohorts of school children and perform repeat studies in China (People's Republic of) to study trends in asthma, allergy and respiratory disease, and perform new studies in pre-school children and study the indoor environment in schools and day care centres. We will evaluate the biological properties (oxidative capacity) of airborne outdoor and indoor particles from different parts of China (People's Republic of).

It functions through interactions with a protein called Galectin-3. The proposed studies aim to elucidate the fundamental molecular mechanisms of the anticancer activities of polysaccharides purified from Ginseng roots. Through characterization of the interactions between purified and fragmented Ginseng polysaccharides with Galactin-3 -- a known cellular target linked to cancer, we aim to identify the most potent anticancer carbohydrates deduced from natural Ginseng polysaccharides. Using modern molecular biology techniques such as X-ray crystallography, Isothermal Titration Calorimetry (ITC) and Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR), our findings will further enrich the knowledge in Galactin related cancer research, provide theoretical basis for improving herbal products made with Ginseng extracts, and hopefully raise international awareness on the benefits of a product from a relatively underdeveloped region in northeastern China (People's Republic of). Cancer är en ledande dödsorsak över hela världen som orsakar ungefär 8 miljoner dödsfall varje år enligt världshälsoorganisationen WHO. De vanligast förekommande formerna är lung-, mag-, lever-, tarm- och bröstcancer. WHO uppskattar att drygt 30 % av cancerfallen kan förhindras om behandling sätts in i tid. Ginseng (Panax ginseng) är en plantväxt som växer i skogslandskap i mellan- och hög latitud i den norra hemisfären. Det latinska namnet panax betyder *läker allt* och Ginsengrötter har använts som naturläkemedel i över två tusen år. Bergsregionen i Changbai i Kina är en av huvudregionerna för kommersiell produktion av P. Ginseng. Molekylärbiologisk forskning har demonstrerat Ginsengs förebyggande effekt i vissa svårbotliga sjukdomar som cancer. En storskalig statistisk studie fastslog att ett signifikant antal färre fall av magcancer, lungcancer och bröstcancer observerades hos människor som inkluderar Ginseng i sin kost. Djurstudier har också demonstrerat liknande resultat. Ginseng har vissa demonstrerade anti-canceregenskaper, men både de exakta aktiva komponenterna samt de fundamentala molekylära- och cellulära mekanismerna för sådana aktiviteter är idag okända. Forskargrupper inblandade i detta forskningsprojekt har framgångsrikt isolerat flera typer av unika kolhydratmolekyler från Ginseng och upptäckt skillnader i anti-canceregenskaper mellan olika slags molekyler. Analys har identifierat de strukturella aspekter hos en typ av kolhydrater med högst anticancer-aktivitet. Dessa tillhör en grupp av molekyler som kallas pektiner. Pektiner har ofta låg toxicitet och är resistenta mot enzymatisk nedbrytning under mänsklig matsmältning. När dessa sväljs kan därför en signifikant bråkdel nå tarmen utan att förstöras på vägen dit, och sedan interagera direkt med tumörceller i matsmältningssystemet. Deras låga toxicitet möjliggör relativt stor konsumtion eller hög dosering som läkemedel. Men p g a bristande kunskap och medvetenhet under Ginsengtillverkning går ofta de värdefulla polysackariderna förlorade i tillverkningsprocessen, trots att de skulle kunna användas i matindustri och medicin. Ginsengpektin delar flera likheter med Citruspektin, som har studerats bättre i cancerforskning och är vanligt förekommande i cancerprevention samt cancerbehandling. Preliminära data visar att Ginsengpektin dödar maligna celler betydligt mer effektivt jämfört med Citruspektin. Citruspektin har visats interagera med ett protein som benämns Galectin-3. Interaktion mellan Ginsengpektin och Galectin-3 har uppmätts och bekräftats. Galectiner är en proteingrupp som konserverats till en hög grad under evolutionens lopp. De är vitt spridda i både frisk och sjuk vävnad och är inblandade i flera fysiologiska nyckelprocesser. Den totala mängden och produktionen av Galectin-3, samt dess fördelning innuti och mellan celler, är kopplat till tumörbildning och tumörutveckling. Galectin-3 har därför uppmärksammats stort i cancerforskningsfält. Galectin-3 kan interagera med kolhydrater genom dess Kolhydrats-igenkänningsdomän (CRD) i den C-terminala delen av proteinkedjan. CRD-strukturen i Gal-3 har bestämts till atomär upplösning, och substrat-bindingsplatsen identifierades i dessa strukturer med hjälp av flera små kolhydratsubstrat, som t e x laktos. Den föreslagna forskningen syftar till att kartlägga de molekylära mekanismerna mellan Ginseng-Polysackarider och deras cellulära målprotein Galectin-3. Resultat från sådana studier kommer ge en teoretisk grund till att förbättra Ginseng-baserade örtprodukter, erbjuda effektiv alternativ cancerprevention, skapa en pålitlig standard i utvärdering av Ginseng-produkter samt främja ekonomisk utveckling i landsbygdsdelar i Nordöstra Kina där Ginseng odlas.

Our group has become interested in the pato-physiological mechanisms behind this phenomenon. We have chosen two important examples of pathogenic bacteria for the purpose of exploring it; Streptococcus pneumonieae and Relapsing fever Borrelia, which employ different infection routes and carry singular pathogenic properties. Thus we have initiated a collaborative study in Rwanda where we are presently in the process of gathering patient samples from children suffering from malaria with different disease states. The patients are between six months and five years of age in acute stages of the disease. By sampling both blood constituents and nasopharynx as well as stool an urine samples, we will investigate the host responses as well as geno and phenotypic differences in the pathogens themselves. Studies on concomitant tropical diseases are rare indeed, and no study to our knowledge has been aimed at investigating the patophysiological impacts of malaria and bacteria in a clinical setting.

Det står alltmer klart att saminfektioner med malaria och bakterier är en tydlig riskfaktor för allvarlig sjuklighet och död. Vi har intresserat oss för att särskillt undersöka interaktioner mellan malaria och två i Afrika vanligt förekommande bakteriella infektioner; pneumokocker samt återfallsfeberborrelia. I detta syfte har ett samarbete initierats med kollegor i Rwanda. Vi har startat en klinisk studie vilken inkluderar barn som är i riskåldern för att utveckla dödlig allvarlig malaria.

Increased coverage of available and low-cost MNCH and PMTCT interventions could cut child mortality by 2/3 and maternal mortality by ¾. Evidence-based decision-making and resource allocation for achieving continuous health services during pregnancy and the neonatal period for HIV positive women in resource-poor, high-risk urban settings in Africa, emerge as tipping points for the millennium development goals. The rapidly expanding mobile phone market in Africa offers a window of opportunity to use new eHealth solutions in an innovative way to strengthen health service delivery in resource-poor health systems. We will use a community intervention trial design to assess the effect of combining evidence-based mobile phone technology and best practice models for PMTCT and health systems strengthening, on coverage, effectiveness and quality of PMTCT in 4 urban slum settlements in Kibera, Nairobi covering 175,000 people. The interventions include mobile phone message support (WelTel) from midwives to women via community health workers (CHWs), capacity building among CHWs and staff to improve quality of care, and, visualization of health data on program coverage using innovative E-tools to facilitate evidence-based planning. BAKGRUND: Det finns ett akut behov av att identifiera bästa praxis när det gäller implementering av tidigare framsteg inom mödra-barnhälsovård (MNCH) och förebyggande av mor till barn överföring av HIV (PMTCT) i svaga hälso-och sjukvårdssystem in Afrika söder om Sahara. Ökad täckning av tillgängliga och billiga insatser inom MNCH och PMTCT kan minska barnadödligheten med 2/3 och mödradödligheten med ¾. Evidensbaserat beslutsfattande och resurstilldelning för att uppnå kontinuerlig hälsovård under graviditeten och nyföddhetsperioden för HIV-positiva kvinnor i resurssvaga, urbana hög-risk miljöer i Afrika, framstår som avgörande för kunna nå millennie-målen. Den snabbt växande mobiltelefonmarknaden i Afrika erbjuder en möjlighet att använda nya IT och e-Health-lösningar på ett innovativt sätt för att stärka hälsovården i resursfattiga hälsosystem. MÅLSÄTTNING: Vi kommer att använda en community interventionsstudie för att bedöma effekten av att kombinera evidensbaserad mobiltelefon-teknik med bästa praxis för att förebygga mor-barn smitta av HIV liksom för att förstärka täckningsgrad, effektivitet och kvalitet av PMTCT i Kibera slummen, Nairobi, Kenya. De specifika studiemålen är: 1. Att optimera täckning, kontinuitet och effektivitet av PMTCT genom att öka upptaget av HIV-testning, mödravård, professionell förlossningsvård, mödra-barn-vård efter förlossnngen samt och antiretroviral behandling av hiv bland gravida kvinnor och nyblivna mammor, genom mobiltelefonmeddelanden från barnmorskor till kvinnor via s.k. community health workers (CHWs, volontärer som bor i området och som redan specifikt tränats för uppgiften). 2. Att förbättra kvaliteten på PMTCT vården och att stärka integrationen och kopplingen mellan MNCH, PMTCT och HIV vård genom att underlätta informationsutbyte mellan vårdgivare och klienter. Vi kommer att använda användarvänliga IT verktyg i kombination med kapacitetsuppbyggnad bland vårdpersonalen genom utbildning i IT, PMTCT, uppföljning, databashantering och monitorering. 3. Att underlätta evidensbaserad planering och förvaltning av resurssvaga hälsosystem genom att ge beslutsfattare enkla visualiserings-verktyg för åskådliggöra täckningsgraden av viktiga MNC-och PMTCT åtgärder. METOD: Studien kommer att utföras i Kibera slummen, Afrikas största urbana informella bosättning, där 15% av befolkningen är smittad med hiv (mer än dubbelt så många som det nationella genomsnittet i Kenya. Cirka 50% beräknas ha tillgång till mobiltelefoni. Vi ska inkludera fyra sk ´slumbyar´ (Laini Saba, Mashimoni, Soweto-East och Siranga) med totalt 175.000 invånare. Här har vi unik tillgång till den grupp kvinnor vår forskning riktar in sig på, hivpositiva gravida kvinnor i Kibera, tack vare vårt långsiktiga forsknings-och kapacitetsbyggande samarbete med African Medical and Research Foundation (AMREF) som erbjuder primärvård, MNCH, PMTCT och HIV vård i ovan nämnda områden genom fyra stora vårdcentraler. Vi beräknar att 1000 kvinnor (efter informerat samtycke) ska inkluderas i studien över 2 års tid, varav hälften i de två interventions-byarna and hälften i de två kontroll-byarna. Vi vill utvärdera effekterna av (mål 1) att barnmorskor med hjälp av WelTels redan för detta ändamål utprovade mjukvara, skicka SMS meddelanden på kvinnornas mobiltelefoner (eller via CHWs för de kvinnor som saknar egna telefoner) för att spåra bortfall och öka upptag och slutförandet av PMTCT under graviditeten (och upp till 6 månader efter förlossningen). Mål 2: kapacitetsuppbyggnad bland CHWs och sjukvårdspersonal avseende viktiga MNCH och PMTCT insatser före och efter att de erhållit undervisning om detta. Mål 3) utvärdera effekten av visuell presentation av data PMTCT planering och förvaltning, genom innovativa IT verktyg (WelTel mobilverktyg, ett utprovat Burden of Disease budget och planeringsverktyg och en modifierad version Gapminder programvara (www.gapminder.org) båda anpassade specifikt för Kibera.

Approximately 25-30 % of the global greenhouse gas emissions originate from production and distribution of food. Different food products, and thus also diets, are associated with various levels of greenhouse gas emissions. The overall aim of this proposal is to estimate diet-related greenhouse gas emissions and public health implications in a population-based study of 7 334 subjects. The specific aims are to: - Estimate the amount of greenhouse gas emissions from individually assessed dietary data. - Estimate the intake of nutrients from diets low and high in greenhouse gas emissions respectively. - Explore the potential association between diets with varying levels of greenhouse gas emissions and health related markers, such as BMI and biomarkers in blood like LDL, HDL and triglycerides. - Estimate the magnitude of greenhouse gas emission reduction achieved by substituting food products with high greenhouse gas emissions with food products with low emissions. The proposed study is based on a novel approach that examines the association between food selection, nutrition and greenhouse gas emission.

Globala växthusgaser och matvanor: En studie om hållbara matvanor och möjliga folkhälsoeffekter De globala klimatmålen kommer att kräva långtgående förändringar av både tekniska system och beteenden i samtliga samhällssektorer. Idag beräknas 25-30 % av växthusgaserna komma från produktion och distribution av livsmedel. Olika livsmedel genererar olika mycket växthusgaser och därför kan man påverka mängden växthusgaser som släpps ut genom att ändrade konsumtionsmönster och matvanor. Om många människor skulle ändra sina matvanor, t.ex. minska på mängden kött och öka mängden grönsaker och andra vegetabiliska livsmedel, skulle utsläppen av växthusgaser minska betydligt. Men det är viktigt att samtidigt studera vilka effekter ändrade matvanor får ur ett folkhälsoperspektiv. Syftet med denna studie är att fastställa hur mycket växthusgaser som kan kopplas till matintag, undersöka näringsinnehållet i en kost som ger höga utsläpp jämfört med en kost som ger låga utsläpp, om det finns en koppling mellan klimatvänliga matvanor och olika hälsofaktorer (BMI, blodfetter mm), samt undersöka hur mycket utsläppen av växthusgaser skulle kunna minskas vid en övergång till mer klimatvänliga matvanor. Vi kommer att analysera data från en populationsbaserad studie på 7 334 personer som besvarade en enkät om sina matvanor, varav 5 217 även blev vägda samt lämnade blodprover. Enkäten, kallad Meal-Q, är en beprövad och utvärderad webbaserad enkät som omfattar 185 livsmedel. Varje livsmedel i enkäten är kopplad till Livscykelanalysdata, som skattar klimatpåverkan från respektive livsmedel. Klimatpåverkan utrycks vanligen i form av koldioxidekvivalenter (kg CO2e per kg livsmedel). Resultaten från denna studie kan komma att få stor betydelse för vår förståelse för sambandet mellan matvanor, livsmedelsval och klimatpåverkan. Dessutom är det första gången som matens klimatpåverkan kopplas till hälsofaktorer. Om vi finner att skattningen av växthusgaser med hjälp av Meal-Q är godtagbar, kan metoden användas i framtida forskningsstudier för att studera matvanor, klimatpåverkan och hälsa i ett globalt perspektiv.

Det har visat sig att en andel nyopererade män har samlag innan de har läkts, vilket leder till ökat risk för spridning av sexuellt överförbara sjukdomar till och från sin partner. Syftet med studien är att utvärdera effekten av en självhjälpsintervention via mobiltelefoni för att minska sexuellt riskbeteende under den postoperativa perioden för män som har kirurgiskt omskurits i Western Cape Province, Sydafrika. Den kommer att bestå av ett antal inspelade meddelanden som nyopererade män kan välja att få levererade till sina mobiltelefoner under läkningsperioden. Det primära utfallet av interventionens effekt är samlag under de första sex veckorna efter operationen. Studien har två faser; den första formativa fasen används kvalitativa metoder (fokusgrupper och kognitiva intervjuer) för att utveckla lämpliga meddelanden; den andra fasen används en randomiserad, kontrollerad design för att testa effekten av meddelanden på patienters sexuella beteenden. Om interventionen är effektiv, kommer det att ge många män och deras sexuella partner möjligheter för att undvika sexuellt samlag under de första sex veckorna efter omskärelse och därmed minska risken för infektioner såsom hiv. Interventionen är också en tidseffektiv strategi för vårdpersonal som kommer att få allt mindre tid med patienter under och efter deras operationer när manlig omskärelse blir allt vanligare i Sydafrika enligt statliga planer. I tre oberoende randomiserade, kontrollerade studier har kirurgiskt manlig omskärelse (MMC) visats kunna minska överförande av hiv från kvinnor till män med upp till 60%. Därför har en strategi utvecklats för att sprida MMC i tretton länder i östra och södra Afrika där hiv-prevalensen är hög och manlig omskärelse inte är utbrett. Efterfrågan är hög men det finns åtskilliga resurs-, organisations- och politiska problem som förhindrar det redan belastade offentliga systemet att svara på efterfrågan i dessa länder. Det finns även en viss oro att män som genomgår omskärelse kommer att tro att de är 100% skyddade från hiv, vilket kan komma att leda till ett ökat sexuellt riskbeteende bland dessa män. Det finns blandade bevis när det gäller denna möjliga effekt. Ett riskabelt beteende som har observerats i samband med MMC är män som återupptar samlag under den rekommenderade sexveckors läketiden efter ingreppet, vilket ökar risken överföring av sexuellt överförbara sjukdomar inklusive hiv till och från sin partner. Risken är särskilt hög för par där bara en är hivpositiv. Det finns ett behov av att utveckla en intervention som ger råd till nyopererade män om hur de kan vara sexuella aktiva utan att öka risken för sig själva och sina partner. Denna intervention får inte belasta vårdpersonalen utan levereras bäst genom röstmeddelande via mobiltelefoner. I Sydafrika används mobiltelefoni till nästan 100% bland befolkningen. Den Sydafrikanska staten har bestämt sig för att sprida MMC till alla provinser och hittills har över 135,000 operationer ägt rum. Ett problem är mänskliga resurser. Syftet med studien är att utvärdera effekten av en självhjälpsintervention via mobiltelefoni för att minska sexuellt riskbeteende under den postoperativa perioden för män som har kirurgiskt omskurits i Western Cape Province, Sydafrika. Interventionen kommer att utvecklas med hjälp av patienter, forskare samt svenska och Sydafrikanska sexualupplysare. Den kommer att bestå av ett antal inspelade meddelanden som nyopererade män kan välja att få levererade till sina mobiltelefoner under läkningsperioden. Det primära utfallet av interventionens effekt är samlag under de första sex veckorna efter operationen.

Det har visat sig att en andel nyopererade män har samlag innan de har läkts, vilket leder till ökat risk för spridning av sexuellt överförbara sjukdomar till och från sin partner. Syftet med studien är att utvärdera effekten av en självhjälpsintervention via mobiltelefoni för att minska sexuellt riskbeteende under den postoperativa perioden för män som har kirurgiskt omskurits i Western Cape Province, Sydafrika. Den kommer att bestå av ett antal inspelade meddelanden som nyopererade män kan välja att få levererade till sina mobiltelefoner under läkningsperioden. Det primära utfallet av interventionens effekt är samlag under de första sex veckorna efter operationen. Studien har två faser; den första formativa fasen används kvalitativa metoder (fokusgrupper och kognitiva intervjuer) för att utveckla lämpliga meddelanden; den andra fasen används en randomiserad, kontrollerad design för att testa effekten av meddelanden på patienters sexuella beteenden. Om interventionen är effektiv, kommer det att ge många män och deras sexuella partner möjligheter för att undvika sexuellt samlag under de första sex veckorna efter omskärelse och därmed minska risken för infektioner såsom hiv. Interventionen är också en tidseffektiv strategi för vårdpersonal som kommer att få allt mindre tid med patienter under och efter deras operationer när manlig omskärelse blir allt vanligare i Sydafrika enligt statliga planer. I tre oberoende randomiserade, kontrollerade studier har kirurgiskt manlig omskärelse (MMC) visats kunna minska överförande av hiv från kvinnor till män med upp till 60%. Därför har en strategi utvecklats för att sprida MMC i tretton länder i östra och södra Afrika där hiv-prevalensen är hög och manlig omskärelse inte är utbrett. Efterfrågan är hög men det finns åtskilliga resurs-, organisations- och politiska problem som förhindrar det redan belastade offentliga systemet att svara på efterfrågan i dessa länder. Det finns även en viss oro att män som genomgår omskärelse kommer att tro att de är 100% skyddade från hiv, vilket kan komma att leda till ett ökat sexuellt riskbeteende bland dessa män. Det finns blandade bevis när det gäller denna möjliga effekt. Ett riskabelt beteende som har observerats i samband med MMC är män som återupptar samlag under den rekommenderade sexveckors läketiden efter ingreppet, vilket ökar risken överföring av sexuellt överförbara sjukdomar inklusive hiv till och från sin partner. Risken är särskilt hög för par där bara en är hivpositiv. Det finns ett behov av att utveckla en intervention som ger råd till nyopererade män om hur de kan vara sexuella aktiva utan att öka risken för sig själva och sina partner. Denna intervention får inte belasta vårdpersonalen utan levereras bäst genom röstmeddelande via mobiltelefoner. I Sydafrika används mobiltelefoni till nästan 100% bland befolkningen. Den Sydafrikanska staten har bestämt sig för att sprida MMC till alla provinser och hittills har över 135,000 operationer ägt rum. Ett problem är mänskliga resurser. Syftet med studien är att utvärdera effekten av en självhjälpsintervention via mobiltelefoni för att minska sexuellt riskbeteende under den postoperativa perioden för män som har kirurgiskt omskurits i Western Cape Province, Sydafrika.

Thus, the concept of strengthening the mucosal immune response could provide a novel way of treating or preventing infections. We aim to develop a therapeutic approach based on induction of endogenous antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) by small molecules, such as phenylbutyrate (PBA) and vitamin D3 to strengthen the epithelial barrier as well as to improve the antimicrobial activity in macrophages through enhanced expression of the AMPs, which are critical defense molecules of innate immunity. We have shown that vitamin D is regulating AMP synthesis in the mucosa as well as in immune cells and finished a clinical trial where vitamin D treatment significantly reduced the infectious burden and antibiotic consumption among patients with recurrent infections. Vitamin D is even more potent together with histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDAC-inhibitors), which cause a 5-10 fold higher induction of AMPs. HDAC-inhibitors affect the acetylation of histones and regulate gene transcription in many cell types. Now we plan to use vitamin D3 together with the HDAC inhibitor PBA. Our future research on vitamin D/PBA mediated effects on human immunity includes: i) Can vitamin D/PBA normalize the gastrointestinal barrier dysfunction in HIV patients? ii) Can vitamin D/PBA restore corticosteroid induced suppression of mucosal immunity? iii) Is there a protective role of vitamin D/PBA against severe influenza infection? Nya behandlingsmetoder för att minska infektioner Antimikrobiella peptider (AMP) är en del av kroppens första försvarslinje. De finns både på våra slemhinnor och i immuncellerna där de kan döda mikrober. Ny kunskap visar att vitamin D styr bildningen av AMP i slemhinnor och immunceller. Under vinterhalvåret har många människor i vårt land låga nivåer av D-vitamin i blodet vilket är kopplat till en ökad risk för luftvägsinfektioner. Vi har nyligen testat dessa grundvetenskapliga fynd i en randomiserad, dubbel-blind studie. Vår hypotes var att vitamin D kunde förhindra eller mildra den totala sjukdomsbördan i luftvägsinfektioner hos patienter med ökad förekomst. Studien visade en reduktion av den totala sjukdomsbördan med ca 30% och minskad antibiotikakonsumtion med 60%. Vi har nyligen visat att D-vitamin kan vara ännu mer effektivt om det ges tillsammans med låga doser av s.k. HDAC-inhibitorer (ökar genuttryck), som t.ex. phenyl-butyrat (PBA). Våra experiment visar att närvaro av PBA ökar D-vitaminets AMP-inducerande förmåga med ca 5-10 gånger. PBA är redan ett godkänt läkemedel för andra indikationer (medfödd ämnesomsättningsbrist) och kan således direkt användas i kliniska prövningar. Vi vill nu gå vidare och studera hur D-vitamin i kombination med PBA påverkar immuncellernas funktioner avseende mikrobiell avdödning och immunsignalering. Vi vill pröva vitamin D/PBA behandling för att normalisera den störda tarmbarriärfunktionen vid HIV, stärka den steroid-utlösta försvagningen av slemhinneimmuniteten samt lindra svår influensa. Målsättning 1. Att studera tarmbarriärfunktionen hos patienter med HIV. Vi studerar om prognosen hos hiv-infekterade kan relateras till graden av barriärdysfunktion och allmän inflammation. Nästa steg är att pröva vitamin D/PBA behandling för att undersöka om barriärfunktionen förbättras och sjukdomsprogressen minskar. 2. Att studera hur generell kortisonmedicinering försämrar den naturliga slemhinne-immuniteten. Hämmas AMP produktion både i epitelcellerna samt i immuncellerna? Kan denna hämning normaliseras genom vitamin D/PBA behandling om denna ges före den immunhämmande behandlingen? 3. Att studera om svår virusinfluensa beror på låg interferon (IFN) slemhinneproduktion och kompensatorisk kraftigt ökad AMP produktion i immunceller som ger vävnadsskador. Kan vitamin D/PBA behandling genom att öka IFN epitelproduktionen reducera AMP produktionen i immuncellerna med mindre svår sjukdom söm följd? Arbetsplan 1. Den akuta HIV-infektionen reducerar immunceller särskilt i mag-tarm-kanalen, vilket leder till en uttalad barriärskada och ett läckage av bakteriella komponenter till cirkulationen. Denna process kallas för mikrobiell translokation och leder till inflammation och därmed ökad virusproduktion. Vi planerar en klinisk interventionsstudie på HIV-patienter vid Venhälsan i Stockholm samt på Black Lion University Hospital i Addis Abeba där vi vill ge vitamin D/PBA eller placebo under ett år. Vi mäter virusmängd och förbättring av tarmbarriärfunktion. Dessa studier kommer att förbigås av mätningar av tarmbarriärskadan med immunologiska samt bakteriologiska molekylärbiologiska tester. Tarmfunktionsskadan sätts i relation till sjukdomens svårighetsgrad och försämringstakt. 2. Friska individer kommer att få kortisonbehandling i tre dagar. Vi mäter AMP i grovtarmen och i luftvägssekret före samt efter behandling. Immunceller tas från blodet och stimuleras med bakteriekomponenter för att öka AMP produktionen i celler. Detta görs före samt efter kortisonbehandlingen. Individerna får sedan vitamin D/PBA före och under steroidmedicineringen. Normaliseras AMP produktionen gör vi en interventionsstudie med vitamin D/PBA under 6 månader på patienter med nyupptäckt lymfkörtelcancer som behandlas med cellgifter plus kortison. Vi mäter antalet infektioner under denna period samt AMP produktion i luftvägsslemhinnan. Resultaten jämförs med placebobehandlade patienter. 3.

Thus, the concept of strengthening the mucosal immune response could provide a novel way of treating or preventing infections. We aim to develop a therapeutic approach based on induction of endogenous antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) by small molecules, such as phenylbutyrate (PBA) and vitamin D3 to strengthen the epithelial barrier as well as to improve the antimicrobial activity in macrophages through enhanced expression of the AMPs, which are critical defense molecules of innate immunity. We have shown that vitamin D is regulating AMP synthesis in the mucosa as well as in immune cells and finished a clinical trial where vitamin D treatment significantly reduced the infectious burden and antibiotic consumption among patients with recurrent infections. Vitamin D is even more potent together with histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDAC-inhibitors), which cause a 5-10 fold higher induction of AMPs. HDAC-inhibitors affect the acetylation of histones and regulate gene transcription in many cell types. Now we plan to use vitamin D3 together with the HDAC inhibitor PBA. Our future research on vitamin D/PBA mediated effects on human immunity includes: i) Can vitamin D/PBA normalize the gastrointestinal barrier dysfunction in HIV patients? ii) Can vitamin D/PBA restore corticosteroid induced suppression of mucosal immunity? iii) Is there a protective role of vitamin D/PBA against severe influenza infection? Nya behandlingsmetoder för att minska infektioner Antimikrobiella peptider (AMP) är en del av kroppens första försvarslinje. De finns både på våra slemhinnor och i immuncellerna där de kan döda mikrober. Ny kunskap visar att vitamin D styr bildningen av AMP i slemhinnor och immunceller. Under vinterhalvåret har många människor i vårt land låga nivåer av D-vitamin i blodet vilket är kopplat till en ökad risk för luftvägsinfektioner. Vi har nyligen testat dessa grundvetenskapliga fynd i en randomiserad, dubbel-blind studie. Vår hypotes var att vitamin D kunde förhindra eller mildra den totala sjukdomsbördan i luftvägsinfektioner hos patienter med ökad förekomst.

The main risk factors for GC are chronic infection with the bacterium Helicobacter pylori, tobacco smoking and poor dietary habits. We have found that patients suffering from atrophic gastritis (AG) and intestinal metaplasia (IM) in the corpus mucosa, two consequences of H. pylori infection and predisposing conditions for GC development, have defects in several protective systems of the stomach. These include blood clotting, cytochrome P450 genes (CYP enzymes), and DNA-repair systems. Our hypothesis is that the defects observed in AG and IM leads to loss of protection against ingested carcinogens such as tobacco smoke compounds and/or carcinogenic mold toxins, which allows development of cancer-inducing mutations in the stomach mucosa. This will be addressed by mRNA-sequencing of stomach samples. Transcriptome mutations will be detected and correlated to alterations in the mucosal defense systems.

Hur kan infektion med bakterien Helicobacter pylori orsaka magsäckscancer? Nära hälften av världens befolkning är kroniskt infekterad i magsäcken med bakterien Helicobacter pylori. De flesta som är infekterade utvecklar inte några allvarliga symptom, men 1-2 % drabbas av magsäckscancer. Magsäckscancer diagnosticeras ofta sent p.g.a. diffusa symptom, och detta leder till en hög dödlighet i sjukdomen. Detta i kombination med den höga andelen H. pylori-infekterade individer gör att magsäckscancer är den näst vanligaste dödsorsaken i cancer totalt i världen.

Projektets målsättning är att öka kunskapen om hur det går till när H. pylori-infektionen orsakar magsäckscancer. Vi har i tidigare studier upptäckt att under infektionsprocessen försvinner vissa av magsäckens mekanismer som annars skyddar mot vävnadsskada och genetiska skador. Vår hypotes är att förlusten av dessa mekanismer ökar magsäckens känslighet för cancerframkallande ämnen, som t.ex. ämnen i tobaksrök, rök från matlagning eller olika typer av gifter från mögelsvampar, och därigenom orsakar cancerutvecklingen. Vi kommer därför att undersöka hur förekomsten av genförändringar (mutationer) i magsäckens celler förhåller sig till förlusten av skyddsmekanismer i magsäcken.

This includes studies to elucidate immune mechanisms and antigens of importance for protection against diseases caused by these bacteria and to construct and evaluate promising candidate vaccines for safety and immunogenicity, initially in animals and subsequently in humans. It also includes a search for new ETEC colonization factors and analyses of emerging ETEC clones by means of whole genome sequencing. A new oral ETEC candidate vaccine developed by us, consisting of recombinant E. coli bacteria over-expressing the most important ETEC colonization factors and a toxoid will be evaluated alone and together with a promising mucosal adjuvant for safety and immunogenicity in Phase I/II studies, initially in Sweden and subsequently in descending age groups in Bangladesh. The aim is also to identify simple interventions such as calorie and micronutrient supplementation, changed breast feeding patterns, anti-parasite treatment that may improve immune responses against enteric vaccines in children in developing countries. Vaccine strains that overexpress putative protective H. pylori antigens will also be constructed and tested for protective efficacy in experimental animals. Den övergripande målsättningen med forskningsprogrammet är att utveckla effektiva vacciner mot två av de vanligaste mag-tarminfektionerna. I första hand ska vi söka ta fram ett förbättrat vaccin mot enterotoxinbildande Escherichia coli (ETEC) bakterier, som orsakar ca 400 miljoner diarré-episoder och ca 300,000 dödsfall årligen hos barn under 5 år i utvecklingsländerna och som också är den vanligaste orsaken till diarré hos resenärer till dessa områden. Vi studerar också faktorer av betydelse för att utveckla ett vaccin mot magsårsbakterien Helicobacter pylori. Ca hälften av jordens befolkning är infekterad med H. pylori, men bara 10-15 % av de som är infekterade får magsår och 1-2 % cancer i magsäcken. De flesta H. pylori infektionerna förekommer hos befolkningen i utvecklingsländerna. Vi har tex nyligen visat i en studie i Bangladesh att 60 % av barnen var infekterade före två års ålder, medan andra studier har visat att mindre än 10% av barnen i Västeuropa är infekterade. Behovet av ett H. pylori-vaccin har ökat avsevärt under senare år, framför allt i utvecklingsländerna, p.g.a. den alarmerande ökningen av antibiotikaresistens mot de läkemedel som används där för behandling av H. pylori. Vi har länge arbetat med att söka utveckla ett effektivt ETEC vaccin enligt samma principer som vi tidigare använt för att utveckla det drickbara koleravaccinet Dukoral®. Kolera och ETEC bakterier orsakar sjukdom på likartat sätt och vi har tidigare visat att en komponent i koleravaccinet, koleratoxin B subenhet (CTB) också kan ge effektivt, om än kortvarigt skydd mot vissa former av ETEC diarré. Det drickbara ETEC vaccin vi initialt tog fram bestod av en kombination av hela avdödade ETEC bakterier som uttrycker s.k. kolonisationsfaktorer, CFs, på ytan i kombination med CTB. Vaccinet var oskadligt och gav upphov till signifikant skydd mot svårare former av turistdiarré, men inte mot ETEC diarré hos små barn i Egypten. Avsikten med det aktuella forskningsprogrammet är därför att utvärdera ett modifierat ETEC vaccin, som består av vaccinstammar som uttrycker betydligt högre nivåer av de viktigaste skyddande bakteriella antigenerna, d.v.s. de fyra vanligaste CFs, resp en modifierad toxoid som förväntas ge mer specifikt skydd mot ETEC bakterier. Vi ska också undersöka möjligheten att förstärka immunsvaren mot vaccinet genom att ge det tillsammans med ett mycket lovande immunförstärkande s.k. adjuvans. Detta kommer att utvärderas i en omfattande dubbel-blind studie på vuxna svenskar som får det nya Tetravalenta vaccinet ensamt, eller i kombination med adjuvans eller placebo. Vaccinet kommer att studeras noggrant med avseende på säkerhet och förmåga att ge upphov till immunsvar främst i tarmen mot de viktigaste antigenerna. Om studierna i Sverige visar att vaccinet är oskadligt och ger upphov till starka immunsvar planeras fortsatta studier initialt på vuxna, och därefter barn i sjunkande åldersgrupper i Bangladesh. Vi ska också söka identifiera olika faktorer som kan förklara varför drickbara vacciner fungerar mycket sämre hos barn i utvecklings-länder än hos barn och vuxna i västvärlden. Vi ska därvid bla utvärdera om olika kosttillskott, tex vitaminer och andra näringsämnen ( Vitamin A och D, järn, zink mm), respektive om behandling mot olika parasiter före vaccination kan resultera i förbättrade immunsvar. När det gäller förutsättningarna att utveckla ett vaccin mot H. pylori ska vi söka identifiera de viktigaste skyddande antigenerna och immunmekanismerna hos människa. Vi har bla visat att vissa immunsvar är nedsatta eller förändrade hos patienter som utvecklar magsår resp magsäckscancer jämfört med hos individer som är infekterade, men inte utvecklar symptom. Avsikten är att utvärdera om sådana immunsvar kan förstärkas genom vaccination.

Molecular epidemiology of V. cholerae: Genome-wide SNP-mapping of isolates over 30 years and impact of vaccine-induced pressure on pathogen evolution. 2. Genome-wide analysis of human susceptibility genes for cholera: Compare gene polymorphism between cholera and no-cholera vacinees and controls in field trial of oral cholera vaccine (OCV) and between strong and weak vaccine responders. 3. Development of new or improved vaccines against cholera and ETEC. We aim at a single strain, thermostable OCV with inbuilt CTB and adjuvant systems. We also (with A-M Svennerholm) develop a multivalent oral ETEC vaccine, optionally given with dmLT adjuvant and now entering clinical studies. 4. Evaluate mucosal immunization routes including sublingual vaccination in humans (cholera and influenza vaccines). 5. Studies of immune regulation and mucosal adjuvants for immunization or tolerance induction. We focus on a) the role of subsets of mucosally induced APCs, and effects and mechanisms of mucosal adjuvants; b) Fc&#436;RIIB. 6. Immune therapy against autoimmune diseases based on mucosal tolerance induction and/or tolerizing B-cell therapy. (1) Further develop the Ag/CTB-treated B-cell therapy and sublingual Ag/CTB tolerization concepts, alone and when combined in EAE and atherosclerosis; (2) extend the in vitro Ag/CTB-vaccinated B cell therapy concept to human B cells. Kolera, slemhinneimmunitet och utveckling av vacciner och immunterapier Projektets målsättning är att fortsatt ha en internationellt ledande roll inom forskningen om kolera, slemhinneimmunitet och utveckling av mukosala vacciner och immunterapimetoder. Största delen av projektet är av stor betydelse för området global hälsa. A. Molekylär-genomisk forskning om förändringar hos kolerabakterien som kan påverka smittspridning och sjukdomsegenskaper. En ny typ av kolerabakterier har sedan några år ersatt den gamla El Tor-typen i Asien och nu också spridit sig till Afrika. Den nya typen är en hybrid mellan El Tor- och ?klassiska? kolerabakterier och bildar toxin (CT) av klassisk biotyp, och verkar också vara mer aggressiv än tidigare. Vi undersöker i internationellt samarbete sådana hybridstammars genetiska förändringar, förändringar i virulens, och ev. skillnader för vaccinskydd. B. Molekylär-genomisk forskning för att identifiera gener hos människa som påverkar mottaglighet för och vaccinsvar mot kolera. Vi har i samarbete med indiska forskare inom ramen för en stor vaccinfältprövning i Kolkata möjlighet att analysera genvariation mellan koleravaccinerade och placebovaccinerade individer som utvecklar resp. inte utvecklar kolera under 3 års uppföljning. C. Fortsatt utveckling av drickbara vacciner mot gastrointestinala infektioner. Vi har utvecklat ett drickbart vaccin mot kolera (Dukoral®). Fortsatt vaccinutvecklingsarbete är inriktat på: (1) Ett förenklat (en stam och en formulering) oralt koleravaccin med ökad effektivitet; (2) Att i samarbete med A-M Svennerholm utveckla specifikt vaccin mot ETEC-diarré, som är den vanligaste orsaken till diarrésjukdom hos barn i utvecklingsländerna och hos resenärer. D. Sublingual vaccination. Vi har i samarbete med C Czerkinsky (IVI, Korea) visat att på försöksdjur ?vaccination under tungan? är ett mycket lovande nytt mukosalt vaccinations-sätt som ger upphov till stark och brett disseminerad cellulär och humoral immunitet och immunskydd mot många olika infektioner. Vi ska nu i fas 1-studier med kolera- och influensavaccin undersöka om dessa goda effekter också gäller för människa. E. Forskning för att kunna förstärka och styra immunsvaret efter slemhinnevaccination: Målet är definiera regleringsmekanismer i slemhinnor, som bestämmer om lokal exposition för antigen leder till immunitet eller tolerans, för att bättre kunna styra det immunologiska svaret i den önskade riktningen. Specifikt studeras styreffekten hos olika antigenpresenterande celler som ?vaccineras? och effekten på dessa av mukosala adjuvans, bl.a. ett av oss nyligen framtaget lovande adjuvans (CTB-CpG-konjugat). F. Forskning för att utveckla terapeutiska vacciner mot autoimmuna sjukdomar baserade på oral tolerans och/eller B-cellsterapi. Vi har utvecklat ett nytt koncept för slemhinneinducerad toleransutveckling baserat på användning av CT:s oskadliga B-subenhet (CTB), som kopplats till ett relevant antigen/tolerogen. Detta har givit mycket lovande resultat i djurmodeller för autoimmuna sjukdomar (MS-liknande encephalomyelit, reumatoid artrit-liknande ledinflammation, diabetes och uveit), och även vid allergier och infektionsorsakade immunpatologiska tillstånd (schistosomiasis och leishmaniasis). Metoden har också visat lovande resultat vid klinisk testning på patienter med Behcet?s sjukdom (uveit med risk för blindhet). Nyligen har vi visat att B-celler är de viktigaste antigen-presenterande cellerna för toleransinduktion, och att kort provrörs-behandling av B-celler med antigen kopplat till CTB följt av injektion av cellerna till djur med tidig autoimmun sjukdom effektivt kan förhindra fortsatt sjukdomsutveckling. Baserat på detta ska vi i samarbete med kliniska forskare (1) Ta fram CTB-baserade fusionsproteiner för mukosal (främst sublingual) immunbehandling vid f.a. MS-liknande encephalit (EAE) och arterioscleros; samt (2) Utveckla B-cellsterapikonceptet ensamt och i förening med mukosal immunterapi med sådana fusionsprote Sweden The Swedish Research Council The Swedish Research Council +46 8 546 44 000 vetenskapsradet@vr.se www.vr.se Box 1035, 101 38 Stockholm, Sweden Developing countries, unspecified Medical research Health, General Saknas No indicator available - only a description of the activity results is published SE-0-SE-29-2012-3465-1 Sweden Important aspects of cholera, mucosal immunology and mucosal vaccines and immunotherapies are studied. 1. Molecular epidemiology of V. cholerae: Genome-wide SNP-mapping of isolates over 30 years and impact of vaccine-induced pressure on pathogen evolution. 2. Genome-wide analysis of human susceptibility genes for cholera: Compare gene polymorphism between cholera and no-cholera vacinees and controls in field trial of oral cholera vaccine (OCV) and between strong and weak vaccine responders. 3. Development of new or improved vaccines against cholera and ETEC. We aim at a single strain, thermostable OCV with inbuilt CTB and adjuvant systems. We also (with A-M Svennerholm) develop a multivalent oral ETEC vaccine, optionally given with dmLT adjuvant and now entering clinical studies. 4. Evaluate mucosal immunization routes including sublingual vaccination in humans (cholera and influenza vaccines). 5. Studies of immune regulation and mucosal adjuvants for immunization or tolerance induction. We focus on a) the role of subsets of mucosally induced APCs, and effects and mechanisms of mucosal adjuvants; b) Fc&#436;RIIB. 6. Immune therapy against autoimmune diseases based on mucosal tolerance induction and/or tolerizing B-cell therapy. (1) Further develop the Ag/CTB-treated B-cell therapy and sublingual Ag/CTB tolerization concepts, alone and when combined in EAE and atherosclerosis; (2) extend the in vitro Ag/CTB-vaccinated B cell therapy concept to human B cells. Kolera, slemhinneimmunitet och utveckling av vacciner och immunterapier Projektets målsättning är att fortsatt ha en internationellt ledande roll inom forskningen om kolera, slemhinneimmunitet och utveckling av mukosala vacciner och immunterapimetoder. Största delen av projektet är av stor betydelse för området global hälsa. A. Molekylär-genomisk forskning om förändringar hos kolerabakterien som kan påverka smittspridning och sjukdomsegenskaper. En ny typ av kolerabakterier har sedan några år ersatt den gamla El Tor-typen i Asien och nu också spridit sig till Afrika. Den nya typen är en hybrid mellan El Tor- och ?klassiska? kolerabakterier och bildar toxin (CT) av klassisk biotyp, och verkar också vara mer aggressiv än tidigare. Vi undersöker i internationellt samarbete sådana hybridstammars genetiska förändringar, förändringar i virulens, och ev. skillnader för vaccinskydd. B. Molekylär-genomisk forskning för att identifiera gener hos människa som påverkar mottaglighet för och vaccinsvar mot kolera.

The study is based on two large HIV cohorts; Swedish/EuResist and the Ethiopian ACM. The EuResist includes >55.000 patients and the ACM 800 patients from 7 geographically distinct sites in Ethiopia. We have earlier shown that our bioinformatic approach is better than other available methods for the choice of HIV drugs after failure. We will now further develop it by introducing three new scientific aspects: resistance to new categories of HIV drugs, epitope mapping and HLA-testing, into our research. For Africa, biostatistics based on the unique Ethiopian cohort, a clinical algorithm will be developed with which patients who fail therapy can be identified without costly laboratory assays. Also, African treatment data will feed the bioinformatic engine with the aim of developing methodology which can predict the best drug combination to use without resistance testing. If the project succeeds, the algorithm and the engine will be freely available on the internet and are likely to have a major impact on clinical care and research in the global HIV epidemic.

The extents to which they are processed reflect the advances of the modern era. For many societies, wood is the most distinguished of forest products. The level and type of uses given to wood varies from one context to another. For example, in developed nations wood processing is in line with the level of industry. In Mozambique however, little progress took place in terms of wood processing. Amongst several reasons two are of major impacts, namely poor industrialization along with high diversity of timber species requiring specialized treatment. The latter reason has prompted selective logging in natural tropical forests overlooking hundreds of other wood species with potential to common uses. In recent years, natural tropical forests in developing countries like Mozambique faced rapid depreciation due to overexploitation of very few well known timbers. Consequently, this situation impaired the development of wood industry in Mozambique which included increased unemployment in rural areas. Therefore, the search for abundant alternative timbers is in the research agenda of developing countries including Mozambique. It is largely believed that the success of this approach will demand studies aimed at generating knowledge of wood properties for better utilization as well as wood anatomy for identification purposes. Timber products from lesser used wood species grown in Mozambique - Technology, properties, exploitation features and market possibilities Popular description of the project Tropical wood species growing in Mozambique have been studied but no information exists on the properties and service features of timber products from the studied species. The proposed study on the products from lesser used timbers from Mozambique will contribute to some diversification in the tropical timber market in Sweden and other Nordic countries. Undoubtedly the interest for these timbers will ensure employment in the timber sector in Mozambique as well as income for the country. The project can increase the interest of Swedish companies willing to invest and work with tropical timber. Mozambique is not in the list of the tropical countries with well established timber export. Forests are an important part of the ecology in Mozambique and consist of miombo woodlands, tropical rain forests and savannas covering 78% of the land surface. The forests constitute one of the major sectors in the country?s economy, providing diverse benefits to the local people, including material for constructions, firewood and charcoal production. In recent years the contribution of forest exports and wood industry to the gross domestic product (GDR) was on average 3%. A limited number of timber species (10-12 species, e.g. jambire, mahogany, azobe, meranti, teak, etc.) is mainly used for processing and trade worldwide. In Mozambique, the stock of well-known wood species such as chanfuta (Afzelia quanzensis Welw), jambirre (Milletia stuhlmannii Taub) and umbila (Pterocarpus angolensis DC) has become scarce in Mozambican natural forests. In this context, harvesting of abundant but lesser used wood species needs to be gradually encouraged and increased in Mozambique. Hence, the use of a broader range of wood species will conform to what the natural forests can produce sustainably to the demand and also will contribute to reduce the depletion of well-known wood species. On the other hand, the latest EU-wide trade data indicates that imports of hardwoods from developing countries were showing early signs of recovery in the first half of 2010. During this period, European imports of hardwood logs, sawn wood, plywood and veneers from developing countries resulted in 1 721 000 m3, an increase of 21% compared to the volume achieved in the first half of 2009. Sweden and the Nordic countries are increasingly interested in the import of tropical timber for the above application. The project will benefit for both Mozambique by increasing and developing the timber sector of the economy (i.e. employing more local people) and for Sweden by diversification of the timber product market and revealing the possibility for Swedish companies for investment in Mozambique forest products sector.

In areas with seasonal malaria in Ethiopia we will detect the presence of parasites during the long intervals between transmission seasons, treat asymptomatic carriers, and investigate the relative transmission capacity of drug resistant and drug susceptible parasites. We will also investigate the origin and spread of drug resistant clones in the region. In Tanzania, where transmission is higher, we will apply detection and treatment of asymptomatic carriers in an effort to lower the very high transmission rates. We will specifically monitor the first reappearing parasites after successful treatment for any particular characteristics that may make these parasites indicators of emerging resistance against artemisinin drug combinations. In both areas, we will monitor the spread of specific clones by microsatellite mapping. The results should be useful in guiding intervention activities in areas of different endemicities and help in reducing malaria incidence. Minskad spridning av malaria genom diagnos och behandling av symptomfria bärare. Malaria tillhör de mest spridda och dödliga infektionssjukdomarna. Trots en viss framgång i kontroll av malaria under senare delen av 1900-talet dör fortfarande uppskattningsvis närmare 1 million människor, främst barn av malaria. Under 1900-talet skedde dock en stor förändring i utbredningen av sjukdomen, i stora delar av Asien har antalet dödsfall i malaria minskat dramatiskt, medan utvecklingen i Afrika har gått åt andra hållet med en ökning i antalet dödsfall. Denna ökning fortsatte fram till ca 2005, varefter vi kan se en begynnande hoppfull utveckling mot minskande dödstal. Variationerna inom Afrika är dock stora, de länder som lyckats bäst har framgångsrikt infört de medel som idag finns tillgängliga, nämligen skydd mot smittförande insekter genom att använda myggnät, samt förbättrade metoder för att ställa diagnos och slutligen effektivare läkemedel. Genom att upptäcka infektionen i tid och sätta in adekvat behandling kan dödligheten minimeras. De framgångar som redovisas från flera länder gör att förhoppningarna om utrotande av sjukdomen, åtminstone från flera länder i utkanten av malarians utbredningsområde är möjligt. Det finns dock flera svårigheter. Antalet människor som bär på malariaparasiter utan att uppvisa sjukdomssymptom är större än man varit medveten om tidigare, vi kallar dessa ?symptomfria bärare? i detta projekt. Vi avser att studera betydelsen av dessa bärare i två olika geografiska områden med olika förutsättningar. Etiopien i nordöstra Afrika har en begränsad spridningssäsong för malaria i anslutning till regnperioder. Under torrperioden däremellan förekommer mycket begränsat med myggor som kan sprida sjukdomen. Tidigare studier i Sudan visade att ett förvånansvärt stort antal människor har påvisbara parasiter i blodet under hela torrperioden. I Etiopien förekommer visserligen två malariasäsonger men dessa är korta och även här finns långa intervall utan smittspridning. Dock har inte lika ingående studier av malaria under intervallperioderna gjorts i Etiopien, vi hoppas få svar på om situationen är densamma där som i Sudan. Det vi hoppas åstadkomma är att genom att upptäcka bärare och behandla dessa med effektiva läkemedel, minska risken för smittspridning under kommande regnperioder. I Tanzania med betydligt mer omfattande malariaspridning är situationen annorlunda, smittan förekommer med vissa variationer året om och en stor del av den vuxna befolkningen är parasitbärare. Även här vill vi dock undersöka möjligheterna att systematiskt upptäcka och behandla vuxna bärare för att möjligtvis minska dessa bärares möjligheter att sprida smittan till barn i omgivningen. I båda typerna av områden nöjer vi oss inte med att påvisa förekomsten av parasiter i blodet, utan går ett steg till i analysen. Malariaparasiter har en komplicerad utveckling och den form som orsakar sjukdom hos människan kan inte direkt överföras från människa till människa genom myggstick. För att bli smittförande måste parasiten utvecklas till en slags könsceller, kallade gametocyter, som kommer att befruktas i myggans mage och sedan omvandlas till en ny form, sporozoit, vilket är den form som myggan kan injicera i en människa. Denna utveckling i myggan tar 1-2 veckor. Vi vill under detta projekt förbättra metoderna för att påvisa gametocyter i blodet, eftersom det är de som bär större mängder av denna form som fungerar som smitt-reservoar. Kan vi rikta in oss på dessa smittbärare är chanserna störst att få en mätbar effekt av insatserna. Vi kommer också att analysera hur faktorer som variationer i immunsvar hos människor samt läkemedels-behandling påverkar förekomsten av parasitens sexuella stadier. Sammantaget bör våra undersökningar leda till en bättre förståelse för spridningen av malaria, speciellt i områden och under omständigheter där sjukdomssymptom av olika skäl inte visar sig.

The collaboration will be done jointly by programming it, populating it with QSAR and PCM data, exchanging and educating students, instituting an organization for maintaining, validating, and improving it, and creating a political momentum where academic, governmental, funding and industrial organizations are using it and aiding in its population. Finally this will result in a system that can be used virtually to discover drug candidates that will likely pass into the clinics without failing due to inappropriate properties. The applicants have already developed many of the components needed, which include QSAR-ML, PCM, Bioclipse, Bioclipse Decision Support and a multitude of QSAR/PCM-models. The infrastructure will allow low and middle-income countries to develop drugs as competitively as any major pharmaceutical company, with respect to the predictive informatics infrastructure required for this. En av de viktigaste faktorerna som hämmar utvecklingen av fattiga länder är dålig hälsa. Många smittsamma sjukdomar förekommer, där HIV, tuberkulos och malaria är de mest problematiska, men också ett stort antal försummade sjukdomar är vanliga och problematiska, som snäckfeber, filiaria, flodblindhet, sömnsjuka, gula febern, denguefeber och japansk hjärninflammation, bara för att nämna några. Trots att det finns ganska bra mediciner mot HIV, tuberkulos och malaria, hindrar de höga kostnaderna att effektiva behandlingsprogram införs i många fattiga länder. Dessutom finns det ett växande problem med läkemedelsresistens. Även om nya läkemedel är under utveckling för läkemedelresistenta infektioner, så blir priset för de nya generationernas läkemedel som regel alldeles för högt för att de ska komma de fattiga länderna till del. Till det ska läggas att läkemedel nästan inte alls utvecklas för de försummade sjukdomarna, eftersom läkemedelsbolagen bara satsar på utvecklingen av storsäljare för de västliga marknaderna. De få läkemedel som finns mot det försummade sjukdomarna är gammalmodiga, ofta mycket giftiga och väldigt ineffektiva. Kostnaden för att utveckla ett nytt läkemedel uppgår idag till ungefär 30 miljarder kronor för var och en av dem. Att utveckla ett nytt läkemedel är med nuvarande teknologier en lång och svår process, där ett stort antal kemiska substanser syntetiseras och testas i provrörsmodeller och på försöksdjur tills ett lämpligt medel hittas som kan testas på människor. De flesta substanser misslyckas och processen måste börja om på nytt. Läkemedelsindustrin är idag i en global kris pga. de höga kostnaderna och de många misslyckandena och har därför mycket tungt börjat använda beräkningsmetoder över hela processen för att förbättra produktiviteten. Man använder huvudsakligen statistiska modeller som fungerar som matematiska filter vilka sorterar bort substanser som sannolikt kommer att misslyckas, men behåller sådana som sannolikt kommer att lyckas. Stora förhoppningar sätts till att dessa beräkningsmodeller ska vända läkemedelsindustrins nedåtgående trend. Läkemedelsindustrin introducerar de nya metoderna under samlingsnamnet prediktiva vetenskaper.

Vad som är unikt med samtliga dessa teknologier är att de baseras på öppen källkod är gratis tillgängliga för alla. Tyvärr baseras de nuvarande prediktiva vetenskaperna inom industrin på konkurrerande sluten utveckling där varje läkemedelsbolag utvecklar sin egen hemliga infrastruktur.

The project sets out to develop a comparative cultural analysis of party politics, socio-political opposition and grassroots democracy in municipalities in Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger. In doing this it draws on on-going research on democratic culture in West Africa, a concept that denotes the ways in which democracy is practised, and attributed meaning by political actors. Issues relating to democracy at the local level are very important, not least because the three countries in focus have recently experienced disturbing political and military developments. By working in the municipalities, we seek to understand how political players and ordinary citizens apply, interpret, and learn democracy locally and how they relate to national political events. The activities planned include reciprocal one month research visits, workshops in Sweden and in Mali/Burkina Faso, seminars and a co-publication. The collaborative project is an opportunity to together develop research questions and methodological and theoretical approaches to the study of democracy. It will also provide a platform for the formation of a strong research group that can engage in applied research in the fields of decentralisation, democracy and local development. Partipolitik, socio-politisk opposition och gräsrotsdemokrati i västafrikanska kommuner Detta samarbetsprojekt undersöker hur decentralisering och demokrati praktiseras i Västafrika. Projektet handlar om att utveckla en jämförande kulturanalys av partipolitik, socio-politisk opposition och gräsrotsdemokrati i kommuner i Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger. Från ett antropologiskt perspektiv skall politik och kommunaldemokrati studeras i dessa tre länder som under de senaste decennierna genomgår demokratiseringsprocesser. Frågor rörande demokratins förankring på lokal nivå är mycket viktiga, inte minst eftersom de tre länderna haft en oroväckande politisk och militär utveckling på senare tid. För i sammanhang där militären fortsatt spelar en viktig roll i nationell politik är frågan hur kommunerna med sina valda församlingar hanterar svängningarna mellan auktoritärt och demokratiskt styre på nationell nivå. Genom att arbeta i kommunerna söker vi förstå hur politiska aktörer och vanliga medborgare tillämpar, tolkar och tillägnar sig demokrati lokalt och hur de förhåller sig till nationell politik. Projektdeltagarna har liknande teoretiska och metodiska ansatser när det gäller lokal dynamik och antropologiskt fältarbete. Deltagarna har tidigare bedrivit forskning om decentraliseringsprocesser i Burkina Faso och Mali. Projektet ger en plattform för utbyte och diskussion med forskningsaktiviteter som omfattar ömsesidiga forskningsbesök om en månad åt gången, årliga workshops, seminarier och gemensamma publikationer.

It will also provide a platform for the formation of a strong research group that can engage in applied research in the fields of decentralisation, democracy and local development. Partipolitik, socio-politisk opposition och gräsrotsdemokrati i västafrikanska kommuner Detta samarbetsprojekt undersöker hur decentralisering och demokrati praktiseras i Västafrika. Projektet handlar om att utveckla en jämförande kulturanalys av partipolitik, socio-politisk opposition och gräsrotsdemokrati i kommuner i Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger. Från ett antropologiskt perspektiv skall politik och kommunaldemokrati studeras i dessa tre länder som under de senaste decennierna genomgår demokratiseringsprocesser. Frågor rörande demokratins förankring på lokal nivå är mycket viktiga, inte minst eftersom de tre länderna haft en oroväckande politisk och militär utveckling på senare tid. För i sammanhang där militären fortsatt spelar en viktig roll i nationell politik är frågan hur kommunerna med sina valda församlingar hanterar svängningarna mellan auktoritärt och demokratiskt styre på nationell nivå. Genom att arbeta i kommunerna söker vi förstå hur politiska aktörer och vanliga medborgare tillämpar, tolkar och tillägnar sig demokrati lokalt och hur de förhåller sig till nationell politik. Projektdeltagarna har liknande teoretiska och metodiska ansatser när det gäller lokal dynamik och antropologiskt fältarbete. Deltagarna har tidigare bedrivit forskning om decentraliseringsprocesser i Burkina Faso och Mali. Projektet ger en plattform för utbyte och diskussion med forskningsaktiviteter som omfattar ömsesidiga forskningsbesök om en månad åt gången, årliga workshops, seminarier och gemensamma publikationer.

While investment firms are now seeking to capitalize on the opportunity to conduct rational large-scale agriculture on the fertile steppe soils, a window of opportunity has also opened to discuss the steppe?s future and the balance between intensive land use and sustainability, the preservation of nature, and equitable rural development. The proposed research aims to contribute to this discussion by investigating the dynamics of land cover and land use change, historically and today, in a part of the Ukrainian steppe. More specifically we seek to explore how the different methodologies and knowledge-bases of the joint Swedish and Ukrainian research team can enrich each other?s understandings of the drivers of land use/land cover change; use the results from the southern Ukrainian landscape to generate hypotheses about the dynamics of land cover and land use change in the Eurasian steppe in general; compliment climate modelling of the historical climate in the steppe, by grounding it in expert local knowledge; relate knowledge of historical land use and land cover dynamics to an on-going discussion on sustainability and rural development. Finally, our ambition is to establish a long-term research agenda about the steppe *before and now*, where a new generation of scholars from Swedish and Ukrainian universities can take this work forward. DEN EURASISKA STÄPPENS MILJÖHISTORIA Från norr om Svarta havet fram till Kaspiska havet sträcker sig ett klimatiskt enhetligt område, som efter det grekiska namnet på Svarta havet går under den vetenskapliga beteckningen den pontisk-kaspiska stäppen. Den berör dagens Ukraina och dess västra grannländer, samt Ryssland och Kazakstan. Dess ursprungliga växtsamhällen är starkt förändrade av en långt gången uppodling, och området är i dag mera känt för dess svartjordsbälte, som tilldrar sig stora utländska jordbruksföretag, än för sina gräsmarker. I det långa historiska perspektivet är det framförallt herdefolk och boskap som har präglat denna stäpp, men alltsedan grekisk tid har det också bedrivits jordbruk i större eller mindre utsträckning. Stäppens markanvändningshistoria kan beskrivas som en böljande växling mellan herdefolken och de omgivande imperiernas jordbrukskolonisation. Den sista stora uppodlingsvågen tog sin början vid 1700-talets slut då Tsarryssland genomförde de stora kolonisationsföretag som bland annat förde svenskbyborna från Dagö i nuvarande Estland till deras nuvarande bosättning vid Dnjeprs strand. Under Sovjetunionen skedde den slutgiltiga omvandlingen av stäppen till en helåkerbygd. Efter Sovjetunionens fall kom stora delar av åkermarken att falla i vanhävd, parallellt med ett allt mer tydligt intresse för det bördiga svartjordsområdet från stora jordbruksföretag med bas i Kiev, Moskva, Stockholm eller New York. Området befinner sig alltså i dag i en kraftig och turbulent omvandlingsfas både vad gäller jordbruksdriftens företagsformer och vad gäller markanvändningen. I den pågående omvandlingen ställs två frågor på sin spets. Den ena gäller hur långt intensifieringen av jordbruket kan drivas. Hur hårt kan det högtekniska jordbruket med stora maskinparker drivas utan att jordkompaktering och andra av storjordbrukets negativa sidor riskerar det långsiktiga utbytet. Många av de nya utländska stora jordbruksföretagen brottas med högst varierande skördeutfall från år till år. Svartjorden är produktiv, men risken för dålig skörd p.g.a. torka har visat sig vara ett problem som man inte räknat med från början. Samtidigt höjs röster för att jordbruket nu bör bedrivas mindre intensivt än under Sovjet-tiden och att man bör ta tillfället i akt i denna snabba omvandling att säkra områden där stäppens naturliga flora och fauna kan bevaras. Den andra frågan gäller jordbrukets företagsformer. Just nu utvecklas i Ukraina, i ruinerna efter Sovjetjordbruket, parallellt två olika typer av jordbruk. Dels växer det fram ett småskaligt familjejordbruk, med basen i de små odlingslotter som tilläts under Sovjettiden. Många av dem kan nu också expandera i de andelar av den gamla kolchosjorden som varje arbetare nu tilldelats som privat egendom. Men parallellt med detta tas alltså allt större marker i anspråk av det kommersiella jordbruket. Frågan är vilken av dessa företagsformer som på bästa sätt dels, kan säkra höga och jämna hektarskördar, dels vilken av dessa företagsformer som mest effektivt kan bidra till fattigdomsbekämpning och ekonomiskt utveckling. Stäppens agrarhistoria under de senaste 3-400 åren kan nästan ses som ett laboratorieexperiment när det gäller olika företagsformer. Familjejordbruk dominerade fram till ryska revolutionen då storjordbruk infördes. Nu avlöses det av en annan typ av storjordbruk. Många av dem opererar i en ännu större skala än under Sovjettiden. Samtidigt så har familjejordbruket aldrig helt avskaffats och fortsätter att spela en viktig roll. En studie av stäppens miljöhistoria kan alltså lämna viktiga bidrag till en pågående debatt. Projektet syftar till att etablera ett samarbete kring dessa frågor mellan svenska och ukrainska forskare. Den svenska komponenten i samarbetet består dels av kulturgeografer och agrarhistoriker, som redan nu bedriver forskning i Ukraina kring den pågående jordbruksomvandlingen eller forskat om regionen från ett mer övergripande perspektiv, men också av forskare i la Sweden The Swedish Research Council The Swedish Research Council +46 8 546 44 000 vetenskapsradet@vr.se www.vr.se Box 1035, 101 38 Stockholm, Sweden Developing countries, unspecified Agricultural research Agriculture Saknas No indicator available - only a description of the activity results is published SE-0-SE-29-2012-6112-1 Sweden Post-Soviet reform has led to tremendous agricultural changes in the steppe region of Ukraine and other post-Soviet countries.

It is an important cause of water and sanitation-related diarrheal disease worldwide. Despite major knowledge gaps in this area, the prevalence of cryptosporidiosis is generally considered higher in developing countries than in developed countries. Previous studies indicate that cryptosporidiosis may be a significant cause of diarrheal illness in Bangladesh, especially in young children. Outbreaks may also occur in developed countries, exemplified by two major outbreaks in Sweden in 2010-11. There is an overall need for improved epidemiological and diagnostic tools employed for the environmental survey and laboratory diagnosis of this parasitic disease. The proposed study will contribute to the elucidation of the prevalence of Cryptosporidium in water in Bangladesh. Molecular differentiation of Cryptosporidium species commonly found in animal faces or human feces will provide important epidemiological data and improved sensitivity and accuracy for human diagnostics. The execution of the project builds on reciprocal exchange at the methodological and educational levels. The results will provide important information to Health Authorities of both countries in respect of prevalence and spreading potential of this parasite. Furthermore, the establishment of methodologies for diagnostics and genetic characterizations of the parasite will aid in actions to be taken in outbreak situations. Smittspårning och förfinad diagnostik av den utbrottsrelaterade vattenburna parasiten Cryptosporidium i Bangladesh och i Sverige Parasiten Cryptosporidium orsakar diarrésjukdom, kryptosporidios, hos både människor och djur. Parasiten smittar via förorenad mat och förorenat vatten, kontakt med djur eller mänsklig avföring. Symtom på infektion är illamående, diarré och magkramper. Immunförsvagade individer, som exempelvis genomgår kemoterapi, är infekterade med HIV eller har annan immunnedsättning kan löpa ökad risk att drabbas. Personer med nedsatt immunförsvar riskerar även att bli kroniskt sjuka i kryptosporidios då effektiv behandling mot sjukdomen saknas. WHO har identifierat kryptosporidios som ett viktigt folkhälsoproblem i utvecklingsländer. Sannolikt är att den främsta spridningsvägen är kontaminerat vatten. Gjorda studier indikerar att parasitens förekomst är vanligare i u-länder jämfört med i-länder. Förekomsten av diarresjukdom är hög i Bangladesh och tidigare studier har visat av parasitförekomsten är sannolikt hög. Dricksvattenkvalitet och sannitet kan vara viktiga faktorer men även andra faktorer som översvämningar, nära kontakt med djurspillning kan vara viktiga. Kryptosporidios förekommer även i Sverige. Under hösten och vintern 2010 inträffade ett utbrott i Östersunds kommun där totalt över 20 000 personer bedöms ha smittats. Kort därefter inträffade ett nästan lika stort utbrott av kryptosporidios i Skellefteå, under 2011. I bägge fallen tros smittan ha spridits via dricksvattnet. En teori har varit att utbrottet i Skellefteå orsakats genom att smittan transporterats från Östersund till Skellefteå, men med tillgänglig metodik har denna hypotes har inte kunnat undersökas rigoröst. Det största kända utbrottet av kryptosporidios inträffade 1993 i Milwaukee i USA år 1993 där cirka 400 000 personer insjuknade. På liknande sätt som i Östersund och Skellefteå tros smittspridningen där ha skett via det kommunala vattnet. En begränsning vad gäller utredning av smittkällor och spridningsvägar för Cryptosporidium är avsaknad av metoder för att snabbt identifiera och karakterisera parasiten. Med de senaste årens revolutionerande framsteg inom DNA-sekvensering, dvs. bestämning sekvensinnehållet i DNA, har nya förutsättningar skapats för att utveckla robusta och högupplösande metoder för smittutredningar och molekylär epidemiologi. Vi kommer att kartlägga förekomsten av smittkällor för Cryptosporidium i Bangladesh genom en analys av kontaminerat vatten, där parasiten förekommer, och vidare, genom en genetisk karakterisering av parasiten. Detta kommer att ge viktig information om parasitens ursprung, till exempel att avföring från djur (boskap) eller från människor kontaminerat vatten. Motsvarande analyser kan göras i Sverige där parasiten sprids via dricksvatten och orsakar utbrott. Sammantaget kommer denna kartläggning av bidra med kunskap i hur vanlig parasiten är i miljön (prevalens), hur parasiten sprids och överförs till människa, och hur man bättre kan diagnosticera sjukdomen kryptosporidios med DNA teknik.

Hydropolitics in the Nile Basin has been comprehensively studied during the last decades. Issues concerning new land acquisitions are beginning to be researched. Academically, studies merging the two ´fields´ is virgin territory. This research aims to investigate the water and land nexus in the Nile Basin and seeks to understand how the current surge in land acquisitions and investments by foreign countries, sovereign wealth funds and private corporations, as well as domestic investors, will affect transboundary water interaction in the region. The research will identify the key land acquisitions, contractual conditions, type of water (irrigation from the transboundary river, groundwater, rainwater and etc.) and analyse the impact on the regional political stability and development. The significance of the project is a result of its unique contribution to merge the areas of land acquisitions and hydropolitics in the regional level, something that has hitherto not been done. In addition, the study seeks to broaden the theoretical understanding of how CPR dilemmas can be understood. From a policy perspective, the recent political changes in the region and the current impasse in the transboundary agreement in Nile basin call for greater understanding of this new dynamic. Nilen är den längsta floden i världen. Dess vatten delas av tio länder vars invånare uppgår till knappa 400 miljoner, en siffra som 2030 förväntas vara 700 miljoner. Under perioden fram till 2030 kommer sannolikt tillgången på vatten minska som en följd av ökad klimatvariabilitet och klimatförändringar vilket i sin tur kommer leda till ett ökat tryck på samarbetet kring flodens vatten.

Vidare förändras snabbt den politiska situationen i regionen med revolution i Egypten och delningen av Sudan. Samtidigt har flera internationella faktorer, bland annat stigande livsmedels-och energipriser, lett till en kraftig ökning av investeringar i jordbruksmark, särskilt i Afrika och då inte minst i nilenregionen. Dessa ökade markant i takt efter den senaste livsmedelskrisen 2007-2008. Stora landområden i nilenregionen har hyrts ut, ofta över perioder som sträcker sig från 50-100 år och ofta till mycket låga priser. Mot bakgrund av ovanstående föreslås innovativ forskning som brett adresserar frågekomplexet land, mat och vatten.

Akademiskt är det en sammanslagning av politik kring landfrågor och vattenpolitik som innebär att nya frågeställningar lyfts fram. Tidigare har ytterst sällan kopplingen mellan markförvärv och vattenfrågan gjorts. Den begränsade forskning som gjorts om markförvärv och vatten avser främst den nationella nivån. Ur ett politiskt policy perspektiv är den föreslagna forskningen också av stor betydelse av flera skäl. För det första är det nuvarande dödläget i nilenregionen behäftat med risker för eskalerande konflikter. Ökad förståelse för hur land-vatten frågan hanteras är därför central. För det andra är den politiska utvecklingen i regionen med delningen av Sudan och de stora förändringarna i Egypten något som pekar på att ny information och förståelse av situationen är central.

In particular, under the grant we plan to concentrate our studies on the development of some all-spin-wave logic elements for perspective *magnetic* processors, by using reach properties of magnetic excitations: spin waves and vibrations. We expect for a significant advance in the topic by combining the experience of Sweedish collaborators in the synthesis of new thin-film magnetic materials, and the experimental experience of the Mexican team in spin-wave and optical signal processing. The important point of our idea is to use a *shock* excitation of spin precession, in contrast to the classic excitation by monochromatic microwaves. The spin precession and its cancellation will be stimulated by fast electric currents with picosecond-range transition times. The all-spin-wave logics will be built on the basis of micrometer and sub-micrometer size spin-wave interferometers or coupled resonators. It is planned to use thin-film ferro-oxides as the material for the microchip design. This work can be considered as a part of a long term program on the creation of nanometer size (or even a single atomic chain) informational interface between quantum processing elements, such as a magnetic defects. We expect that our collaboration will give mutual benefits for both Swedish and Mexican participants. In some solids the atomic magnetic moments, determined by electron spins, exhibit an ordering thanks to the so-called exchange forces between the electron orbitals. These materials are called ferro- and ferri-magnetics. At proper conditions a microwave field can excite vibrations or waves in such spin systems at very high frequencies, of 1 - 100 GHz. The most important property of spin waves is that their group velocity is of three-four orders less than the velocity of electromagnetic waves. This means that at a given microwave frequency the wavelength of a spin wave is of micrometer scale, and, hence, the dimensions of spin wave- based functional elements can be significantly reduced. Moreover, the spin wave wavelength can be conserved to be constant at different frequencies by adjusting bias magnetic field. It should be noted that spin waves possess very rich properties, which are highly interesting both for fundamental science and for applied microwave and computing technologies. For example, almost all the known in physics nonlinear phenomena have been realized by using spin waves. The spatial and temporal bright and dark solitons (signal compression), three-wave mixing and second harmonic generation (synthesis of a new signals) and parametric spin wave amplification (transistor-less signal amplifiers) have been reported and implemented in functional spin wave devices. Recent advances in the field of magnetic dynamics are focused on the realistic objective of using spin wave technology in new nano-computing architectures. The main advantage of Spin-Wave technology is that an ensemble of coupled spins transmits energy through a perturbation of magnetic polarization without electron transport. This opens a way for reducing the dimensions of ?magnetic informational channel? (to few nanometers) excluding losses of a signal and the channel thermal damage (overheating) that usually takes place in current conductors. The principal advantages of spin-wave based microchips was described by A. Khitun at all in Nanotechnology, Vol.18, p.465202 (2007) where the authors describe how spin-wave logics can be used in nano-dimensional processors. In this collaboration work we plan to realize a number of technological steps, experimental and theoretical studies to fabricate prototypes of some all-spin-wave processing elements based on interferometric principles of operation, and by using fast magnetic field excitation of spin precession in dielectric ferrites.

How the combined impact of more than one factor influence infection is at large unknown in both humans and experimental models. Intestinal parasitic infections are the rule rather than the exception in poor rural communities, where clean water, proper housing and sewage systems are not available allowing a continuous transmission of helminths and other water-born infectious organisms. In this project we aim to understand how gastro-intestinal parasitic infections influence and are influenced by nutritional status and if the combination of malnutrition and intestinal parasitic infection is a risk factor for development of trypanosomal disease in humans. In animal models we will explore how the combination of gastrointestinal infection and malnourishment influences the outcome of Leishmania and Trypanosoma cruzi infection, two related parasitic infections, which are endemic in Bolivia. The project will be divided into two parts, in Bolivia clinico-epidemiological studies will provide information on nutritional status and how this correlates with polyparasitism and different immune parameters. The other part, which primarily will be conducted at Karolinska Institutet, Sweden, is an experimental animal set up, where the impact of the most common nutritional deficiencies of poor populations can be tested on trypanosome infections in a mono or polyparasitic context. Samverkan mellan näring och multipla parasit infektioner Infektion med mer än en parasit (polyparasitism) är snarare regel än undantag i många fattiga befolkningar. Mag-tarm parasiter, t.ex. maskar kan frodas i miljöer där människor är trångbodda och renat vatten och tillgång till avloppssystem saknas. Globalt sett räknar man med att mer än en miljard människor bär på minst en mask infektion. Maskar och andra tarmparasiter kan både orsaka och bidra till undernäring, vilket i sin tur kan förändra kroppens möjligheter att hantera andra infektioner. Parasitiska maskar kan dessutom direkt, genom det immunsvar de genererar, negativt påverka immunitet mot andra infektioner. Vår kropp reagerar med olika typer av immunsvar beroende på vilken typ av infektion eller stimuli som ges. Maskar driver ett immunsvar som liknar det man får vid en allergisk reaktion, ett T cells svar av så kallat typ 2 (Th2). Detta Th2 svar motverkar en annan typ av T cells svar som kallas Th1. Th1 svar är av betydelse för att kontrollera många infektioner, framför allt mikroorganismer som lever inne i makrofager, som Mykobakterier, Leishmania och Trypanosoma cruzi. I det här projektet vill vi undersöka om det finns en koppling mellan näringsstatus, maskinfektion och förmågan att generera ett adekvat immunsvar mot Leishmania och Trypanosoma cruzi, två besläktade parasiter som båda är endemiska i Bolivia. Vi tror att maskinfektion dels bidrar till undernäring, men också att effekten av masken i en undernärd värd skiljer sig från den där obegränsad tillgång till näring finns. Vår hypotes är att maskinfektion i kombination med undernäring försämrar kroppens förmåga att kontrollera både Leishmania och T. cruzi jämfört med vad enbart maskinfektion eller undernäring hade gjort. Denna hypotes kan tyckas självklar, men det finns studier som tyder på att viss undernäring, t.ex. järnbrist, kan missgynna maskar och andra parasiter och på så sätt vara till fördel för värden. Vårt projekt är uppdelat i två delar ? en klinisk/epidemiologisk del, som görs i Bolivia, och en experimentell del som görs på Karolinska Institutet. I Bolivia kommer vi att göra studier på skolbarn, som är den åldersgrupp som har mest maskinfektioner. Avföringsprover kommer att samlas från samtliga barn för att se om de bär på maskar. För att se om de lider av någon form av närings brist kommer barnen att mätas och vägas, vidare kommer deras nivåer av olika vitaminer och spårämnen att mätas. Slutligen kommer blodprover att samlas in för att undersöka om barnen har exponerats för Leishmania eller T. cruzi och vilken typ av immunsvar de har mot dessa parasiter. Resultaten kommer att ge viktig information om kopplingen mellan undernäring och mask och hur detta påverkar immunsvaret mot en sekundär infektion. Resultaten från de kliniska studierna kommer att vara vägledande för vilka näringsämning som vi ska fokusera på i experimentella djurförsök som görs på möss. I våra djurmodeller kommer vi under kontrollerade förhållanden studera hur mask (Heligmosomides polygyrus) respektive och i kombination med undernäring påverkar djuret förmåga att hantera infektion med Leishmania eller T. cruzi. Den mask som vi infekterar mössen med har mus som sin naturliga värd och kan därför etablera en kronisk infektion. Detta är viktigt då de flesta maskinfektioner är kroniska. Om resultaten visa på en tydlig koppling mellan undernäring och maskinfektion i påverkan på sekundärinfektion kommer vi att testa hur kosttillskott samt avmaskning, i undernärda djur, påverkar förmågan att kontrollera Leishmania och/eller T. cruzi. Resultaten är betydelse för avmaskningsstrategier och hur kosttillskott ges i områden där polyparasitism är vanligt.

How the combined impact of more than one factor influence infection is at large unknown in both humans and experimental models. Intestinal parasitic infections are the rule rather than the exception in poor rural communities, where clean water, proper housing and sewage systems are not available allowing a continuous transmission of helminths and other water-born infectious organisms. In this project we aim to understand how gastro-intestinal parasitic infections influence and are influenced by nutritional status and if the combination of malnutrition and intestinal parasitic infection is a risk factor for development of trypanosomal disease in humans. In animal models we will explore how the combination of gastrointestinal infection and malnourishment influences the outcome of Leishmania and Trypanosoma cruzi infection, two related parasitic infections, which are endemic in Bolivia. The project will be divided into two parts, in Bolivia clinico-epidemiological studies will provide information on nutritional status and how this correlates with polyparasitism and different immune parameters. The other part, which primarily will be conducted at Karolinska Institutet, Sweden, is an experimental animal set up, where the impact of the most common nutritional deficiencies of poor populations can be tested on trypanosome infections in a mono or polyparasitic context. Samverkan mellan näring och multipla parasit infektioner Infektion med mer än en parasit (polyparasitism) är snarare regel än undantag i många fattiga befolkningar. Mag-tarm parasiter, t.ex. maskar kan frodas i miljöer där människor är trångbodda och renat vatten och tillgång till avloppssystem saknas. Globalt sett räknar man med att mer än en miljard människor bär på minst en mask infektion. Maskar och andra tarmparasiter kan både orsaka och bidra till undernäring, vilket i sin tur kan förändra kroppens möjligheter att hantera andra infektioner. Parasitiska maskar kan dessutom direkt, genom det immunsvar de genererar, negativt påverka immunitet mot andra infektioner. Vår kropp reagerar med olika typer av immunsvar beroende på vilken typ av infektion eller stimuli som ges. Maskar driver ett immunsvar som liknar det man får vid en allergisk reaktion, ett T cells svar av så kallat typ 2 (Th2). Detta Th2 svar motverkar en annan typ av T cells svar som kallas Th1. Th1 svar är av betydelse för att kontrollera många infektioner, framför allt mikroorganismer som lever inne i makrofager, som Mykobakterier, Leishmania och Trypanosoma cruzi. I det här projektet vill vi undersöka om det finns en koppling mellan näringsstatus, maskinfektion och förmågan att generera ett adekvat immunsvar mot Leishmania och Trypanosoma cruzi, två besläktade parasiter som båda är endemiska i Bolivia.

However, available technologies do not allow us to harvest even 0.02 % of such energy in a cost-efficient way. This would be more than sufficient to meet our energy demands. To change this scenario, novel breakthrough technologies for converting, storing and using solar energy must be developed. The conversion of solar energy into chemical fuels through photocatalytic water splitting and electrochemical CO2 reduction, appears as a promising alternative, but still a strong research agenda is needed for achieving the desirable goals. It is the aim of the present proposal to contribute in this field. Through a sophisticated combination of complementary computational materials science methods, a new methodology for modeling complex multi-electron transfer redox reactions will be developed.

The dissemination of the resulting theoretical insights from this systematic study will be highly beneficial for the guidance of experimental efforts in the field of solar energy harvesting in general and for the related Swedish infrastructure and economy in particular. En växande befolkning och en samtida förbättring av människors livsvillkor resulterar i ett stigande globalt energibehov. De negativa effekterna på miljön i form av luftföroreningar och global uppvärmning blir allt mer uppenbara. På grund av detta är det av yttersta vikt att nu agera och koncentrera sig på att aktivt söka alternativ till vår nuvarande energiförsörjning som är beroende av fossila bränslen. Väte är bundet och homogent fördelat över jordytan och kan avge energi genom kemiska reaktioner med syre, med endast vatten som biprodukt, i till exempel förbränningsmotorer och bränsleceller. Tack vare dessa egenskaper, så betraktas väte som ett idealt syntetiskt bränsle för en ny återvinningsbar, säker, och miljövänlig global infrastruktur för energi, som kan säkra en hållbar framtida utveckling. Tyvärr, finns inte väte i naturen som ren gas, utan existerar i kombination med andra grundämnen, såsom i vatten och organiska molekyler. Därför, förlitar sig en omfattande användning av väte som bränsle (detta kallas vanligen ?väteekonomi?) på utvecklingen av effektiv väteproduktion. Medan vårt fokus inte ligger på behoven av vätgaslagring och användningen av väte i bränsleceller, skulle vi ändå vilja nämna att omfattande framsteg krävs även inom dessa områden. Traditionellt produceras vätgas från naturgas genom reaktionen CH4(g) + H2O(g) ==> CO(g) + 3H2(g). (1) Den här reaktionen kräver mycket energi för att bryta de kemiska bindningarna och därför utförs den vid höga temperaturer (kring 800 °C) samt i närvaron av katalysatorer, vanligtvis Ni/Al2O3, som påskyndar bildandet av reaktionsprodukterna. Den syntetiska vätgasen som produceras på detta sätt måste separeras från CO gas som också produceras. Detta görs vanligen genom en kemisk rekation som kallas ?vatten-gas-växlingsreaktion?. Kolmonoxiden får då reagera med vatten för att producera mer väte och koldioxid, vilka på ett enklare sätt kan avlägsnas från blandningen. Reaktionen är som följer CO(g) + H2O(g) ==> CO2(g) + H2(g). (2) Problemet är att vätgasen som produceras på detta sätt innehåller någon andel kolmonoxid, vilket gör den olämplig för att användas i bränsleceller. Omvandlingen av etanol och biomassa anses också vara ett alternativ till vätgasproduktion eftersom de extraheras från återvinningsbara och miljövänliga källor. Men omvandlingen av etanol konsumerar mycket energi i form av värme samt kolmonoxid, så att reningsmetoder krävs även här. En ny och attraktiv metod för att producera vätgas är delningen av vatten i en process som kallas fotolys. I den här metoden används väldigt nanometerstora halvledarpartiklar som förs in i en vattenlösning och belyses sedan med ljus. Ljuset inducerar en laddningsöverföring från partiklarna till vattenmolekylerna, vilket leder till delning av vattenmolekylerna. Det finns många system tillgängliga i litteraturen, men de flesta av dem opererar i UV-regionen. Huvudmålet här är att finna ett system som absorberar hela skalan av synligt ljus så att man på ett mycket effektivt sätt att omvandla solenergi till kemisk energi. Varför solenergi? Bland den mängd olika återvinningsbara energikällor så är solen den absolut största. På en timme träffar cirka 4.3*10^20 J solljus jorden. Det är mer än all energi som för närvarande produceras på jorden på ett år. Just därför skulle solen vara en ypperlig energikälla för att producera vår energibärande vätgas som skulle fungera som ett syntetiskt bränsle.

The research focus of the group at University of Campinas, Brazil is to characterize the content of bioactive components and antioxidant potential of relevant crops as well as measuring the biotransformation of anthocyanins in biological samples (blood and urine) from the human intervention. The group at Lund University in Sweden will contribute with expertise in design of carbohydrate rich foods/meals with low glycaemic impact as well as performance of acute and semi-acute human intervention trials. Both principal investigators are relatively young and interested in establishing new international collaborations. A preliminary meal study was performed during the 3 month stay of Mario Marostica Junior at Lund University in 2009. In that study, freeze dried husks from Myrciaria caulifolia was included in the breakfast meal served to healthy subjects. Some analyses from that study are still in progress both in Lund and Campinas but as soon as they are ready the results should be compiled in a joint publication. The funding applied for in the present proposal will be used to facilitate shorter research visits for PhD-students from both universities to exchange knowledge about methodology. In addition, the PIs will meet to work on joint publications and funding proposals. I det aktuella projektet vill forskarna undersöka om det finns frukter och bär från Brasilien, som kan ha positiva effekter på människors hälsa. Det är ett stort problem världen över att människor väger för mycket och risken för alla överviktiga är att drabbas av följdsjukdomar som till exempel diabetes och hjärtkärl-problem. De aktuella forskargrupperna i Sverige respektive Brasilien arbetar med olika utgångspunkt och inriktning med att studera hälsopotentialen hos olika livsmedel. Gemensamt för oss är att vi tror att klokt designade livsmedel kan hjälpa till att bromsa den globala ohälsoutvecklingen och det är viktigt att förena krafter från olika världsdelar i det arbetet. Mycket kunskap finns i bla Sydamerika när det gäller att använda växter för behandling av olika åkommor. Det är en viktig utgångspunkt för detta forskningsprojekt som har som mål att identifiera frukter och bär med positiva hälsoeffekter. Inom projektet planeras en utvärdering av den kemiska sammansättningen hos ett tiotal frukter och bär, varav sedan 4-6 stycken väljs ut för att testas i måltidsförsök på friska frivilliga försökspersoner. Blod- och urinprover kommer att samlas in från de personer som ätit de olika frukterna och bären och sedan undersöks effekter på blodsockerreglering, förekomst av inflammatoriska markörer samt antioxidativ potential. Om någon av de utvalda frukterna eller bären visar god hälsopotential kan det bli en intressant exportvara från Brasilien, i rå eller förädlad form. Det planerade arbetet kommer att utföras av doktorander som besöker varandras labb med jämna mellanrum och utbyter kunskaper kring analysmetodik och praktiskt arbete med måltidsförsök. Minst två vetenskapliga artiklar kommer att kunna skrivas om resultaten från de planerade försöken. Båda huvudsökanden har relativt nyetablerade forskargrupper och ser möjligheterna till ett internationellt samarbete av det här slaget som en viktig del i deras forskarkarriärer. Pengarna från Swedish Research Links-programmet blir en viktig utgångspunkt för att kunna träffas och diskutera fram möjligheter att ansöka om projektmedel från andra finansiärer.

Some analyses from that study are still in progress both in Lund and Campinas but as soon as they are ready the results should be compiled in a joint publication. The funding applied for in the present proposal will be used to facilitate shorter research visits for PhD-students from both universities to exchange knowledge about methodology. In addition, the PIs will meet to work on joint publications and funding proposals. I det aktuella projektet vill forskarna undersöka om det finns frukter och bär från Brasilien, som kan ha positiva effekter på människors hälsa. Det är ett stort problem världen över att människor väger för mycket och risken för alla överviktiga är att drabbas av följdsjukdomar som till exempel diabetes och hjärtkärl-problem. De aktuella forskargrupperna i Sverige respektive Brasilien arbetar med olika utgångspunkt och inriktning med att studera hälsopotentialen hos olika livsmedel. Gemensamt för oss är att vi tror att klokt designade livsmedel kan hjälpa till att bromsa den globala ohälsoutvecklingen och det är viktigt att förena krafter från olika världsdelar i det arbetet. Mycket kunskap finns i bla Sydamerika när det gäller att använda växter för behandling av olika åkommor. Det är en viktig utgångspunkt för detta forskningsprojekt som har som mål att identifiera frukter och bär med positiva hälsoeffekter. Inom projektet planeras en utvärdering av den kemiska sammansättningen hos ett tiotal frukter och bär, varav sedan 4-6 stycken väljs ut för att testas i måltidsförsök på friska frivilliga försökspersoner. Blod- och urinprover kommer att samlas in från de personer som ätit de olika frukterna och bären och sedan undersöks effekter på blodsockerreglering, förekomst av inflammatoriska markörer samt antioxidativ potential. Om någon av de utvalda frukterna eller bären visar god hälsopotential kan det bli en intressant exportvara från Brasilien, i rå eller förädlad form. Det planerade arbetet kommer att utföras av doktorander som besöker varandras labb med jämna mellanrum och utbyter kunskaper kring analysmetodik och praktiskt arbete med måltidsförsök. Minst två vetenskapliga artiklar kommer att kunna skrivas om resultaten från de planerade försöken. Båda huvudsökanden har relativt nyetablerade forskargrupper och ser möjligheterna till ett internationellt samarbete av det här slaget som en viktig del i deras forskarkarriärer. Pengarna från Swedish Research Links-programmet blir en viktig utgångspunkt för att kunna träffas och diskutera fram möjligheter att ansöka om projektmedel från andra finansiärer.

The coming several years will thus be the time for a rich harvest after the two decades of preparations. The most promising theory for physics beyond the standard model of particle physics is the theory of supersymmetry, predicting that every particle known to date should have a superpartner with mass on the electroweak scale.

Sökande efter indikationer på supersymmetri. I strävan att utforska materiens minsta beståndsdelar och de fundamentala växelverkningarna studeras hela tiden mindre partiklar vid högre energier. I den nya acceleratorn *Large Hadron Collider* (LHC) som startade hösten 2009 vid CERN i Genéve kollideras protoner mot varandra vid 7 TeV, den högsta energi som är tillgänglig i världen. I kombination med den höga intensiteten hos partikelstrålarna som förväntas under 2011 och 2012, kommer den att ge enastående möjlighet att söka efter ny fysik i ett energiområde där dagens s.k. *standardmodell* inte nödvändigtvis är giltig. Efter ett stopp under 2013 kommer energien att dubblas till 14 TeV under 2014. Den s.k. standardmodellen beskriver enastående väl fysiken vid de energier som idag är tillgängliga för experimentella studier. Det finns dock anledning att tro att ny fysik kan finnas i energiomr?det kring 1 TeV. Bl.a. behöver parametrar i standardmodellen finjusteras till en onaturlig precision för att Higgs-bosonens massa inte skall vara för stor. Inte heller kommer stark, elektromagnetisk och svag växelverkan att ha en och samma styrka vid mycket höga energier i enlighet med vad som förväntas i en s.k. Grand Unified beskrivning där all växelverkan kan beskrivas med en gemensam teori. Båda dessa svårigheter löses i supersymmetriska utvidgningar av standardmodellen.

Not only is it central to our food habits but also it is a base chemical to various industries. Presently, Uganda still depends on imported salts from the neighboring countries to meet its demands despite the existence of a natural saline lake resource in Lake Katwe. This project seeks to develop a crystallization methodology to recover salt from brines such as those found at Lake Katwe. This includes the development of strategies to remove impurities by means of precipitation, re-crystallization, and other techniques, as well as the design of processes applicable to Lake Katwe. The research is based on laboratory experiments run both in Sweden and Uganda using brines from Lake Katwe. Preliminary investigations of the lake deposit within a running project will provide fundamental information regarding the nature and uniqueness of Lake Katwe brines. The present research project aims at developing a thorough expertise in salt crystallization technologies that, on one hand side, will allow for a better understanding of the specific process requirements a salt production plant at Lake Katwe had to fulfill. On the other hand, the collaborative research project will enhance the capacity of higher education through graduate and undergraduate training and through vital exchange. Uganda is well endowed with commercial salt reserves evident in the brines and evaporite deposits of Lake Katwe. The lakes brines contain a very high proportion of salts. It is well known that salt is a basic commodity for all human beings. In Uganda today, over 95 percent of the domestic salt consumption and the related industry are imported from the neighbouring countries despite the existence of this ?white elephant?. The present collaborative research project titled ?Evaporative crystallization of NaCl in the presence of impurities mimicking brines of Lake Katwe, Uganda? is envisaged to undertake a scientific study tailored to extract salt from the lake brines to standards safe for human consumption.

An approach for fighting malaria is to transform mosquito symbiotic bacteria to produce effectors against the malaria parasite, a.k.a. paratransgenesis. We have previously isolated a new family of bacteria, Thorsellia, which is uniquely associated with malaria mosquitoes, and by DNA sequencing shown its existence in Brazil. To know more about the biology of this mosquito symbiont and its potential for paratransgenic approaches against malaria, we aim to isolate Thorsellia spp. from Brazil and investigate its relative abundance in mosquitoes and their breeding waters. In addition, we will investigate the survival and stability of Thorsellia in the Anopheles mosquitoes. A deeper understanding of Thorsellia and its relation to the mosquitoes is a prerequisite for fruitful paratransgenesis. In Brazil this system is optimal since the most important malaria mosquito cannot mate in captivity for a transgenic approach and thus is restricted to paratransgenesis. In the project, researchers from Sweden will go to Manaus for on-site development of sampling techniques. Students from Brazil will go to Sweden for development of transformed Thorsellia bacteria that can be followed in the malaria mosquitoes and to learn more about techniques in microbiology. For both research teams the current proposal would serve as a starting point with a common goal, the development of paratransgenic malaria mosquitoes. Förekomst och etablering av den unika bakterien Thorsellia i brasilianska malariamyggor Malaria är en sjukdom som orsakas av en encellig parasit och sprids via blodsugande myggor i stora delar av världen. Ofta är det i mycket fattiga regioner som människor råkar mest illa ut. I Brasilien drabbas 600 000 personer av malaria varje år, framförallt i Amazonas. Det finns flera sätt att försöka bekämpa sjukdomen. För närvarande används metoder som förutsätter en relativt väl fungerande infrastruktur, till exempel mediciner och myggnät impregnerade med bekämpningsmedel. Det pågår sedan länge forskning på att ta fram ett vaccin mot malaria, men hittills utan att få någon praktisk tillämpning. På senare tid har man börjat titta på möjligheten att sprida ut genmodifierade myggor som inte kan föra malariaparasiten vidare, men detta tillvägagångssätt kräver att den myggart man är intresserad av att förändra går att föda upp på lab. Den viktigaste malaria vektorn i Syd-Amerika är Anopheles darlingi, som inte kan föröka sig i labmiljö. Ett alternativ är därför att istället använda sig av bakterier som naturligt finns i myggornas mag-tarmsystem och modifiera dessa så att de producerar ett ämne som slår ut malariaparasiten. För att detta ska fungera så krävs det en bakterie som lever i symbios med malariamyggor. Nyligen har vi och andra visat att en tidigare okänd bakterie, Thorsellia anophelis, är knuten till malariamyggor och DNA från den har bara hittas i malaria myggor eller kläckningsvatten från malariaområden, varav ett i Brasilien. DNA-jämförelser visar att Thorsellia är ett mycket unikt släkte och att det kan bestå av flera närstående arter eller stammar. Idag finns bara ett isolat av Thorsellia, från Kenya, och vi behöver fler för att kunna kartlägga denna intressanta bakteries släktskap, genetik och biologi. I detta projekt vill vi därför, tillsammans med kolleger i Brasilien, leta upp nya isolat av Thorsellia i mygglarver och fullvuxna myggor samt i ytvatten från deras kläckningsområden. För att förstå hur Thorsellia samverkar med myggorna, kommer vi att undersöka förekomsten av Thorsellia i larver, adulter och myggornas kläckningsvatten vid olika tidpunkter på året. Eftersom Thorsellia verkar vara starkt knuten till malariamyggor, vill vi också undersöka hur den etablerar sig inuti myggorna. Den uppnådda kunskapen kommer att vara en nödvändighet för att testa lämpligheten av Thorsellia för försök med paratransgenes för att slå ut malariaparasiten. Ett antal av de metoder som behövs i projektet finns etablerade i Sverige, men de lokala förhållandena är avgörande för att kunna tillämpa paratransgenes i verkligheten. Endast genom ett internationellt utbyte kan den senaste forskningen komma de utsatta människorna till gagn, men samtidigt är ett internationellt samarbete ofrånkomligt för att etablera all den baskunskap som behövs för en framgångsrik strategi mot malaria.

The problems can have different causes, e.g. that the experts use a terminology and ways of expression that many cannot understand or that experts disagree about health risks, what causes diseases and how they can be avoided. Information does not reach everybody in their own language in multicultural environments, where there is also considerably more illness. The project is a collaboration between two interdisciplinary centers, where different forms of information about health and health risks from researchers and other experts are studied from the perspective accessibility for the general public. The project will study written reports, journal articles, leaflets, expert talks in public and in radio or TV programs. Several methods are combined, e.g. text analysis of documents and analysis of video-recorded interviews and focus group conversations involving persons from the general public or health experts from different disciplines. The international collaboration makes comparisons of two culturally very different societies possible with a wide variety of relevant factors influencing public understanding of health communication. This will be useful for drawing conclusions about improvements of health communication and providing guidelines to experts that can contribute to improved health information and health. Allmänhetens förståelse av experters information om hälsorisker i Malaysia och Sverige I såväl Sverige som Malaysia har allmänheten ibland problem med att få del av och förstå experters/forskares information om risker. Problemen kan ha flera olika orsaker, t ex att experter använder en terminologi och ett uttryckssätt som allmänheten inte förstår eller att experter är oeniga om vilka hälsorisker som finns, vilka orsaker som ligger bakom dem och hur man undviker dem. Information om hälsorisker når inte heller alla berörda och i synnerhet i mångkulturella miljöer finns inte alltid information på språk som invånarna förstår. Detta leder bl a till ett väsentligt sämre hälsoläge i vissa miljöer, t ex en del svenska förorter och bland stora delar av allmänheten i Malaysia. Projektet är ett samarbete mellan två tvärvetenskapliga centrumbildningar, en i Malaysia och en i Sverige, där olika former av information om hälsa och hälsorisker från forskare och andra experter studeras närmare utifrån allmänhetens möjligheter att få del av och förstå dem. Det gäller skriven information i artiklar, rapporter, media och broschyrer och muntlig information i t ex föredrag, radio- och TV-program. Flera olika forskningsmetoder kombineras i studierna. En är textanalys av dokument med hälsoinformation, en annan är analys av videoinspelade intervjuer och fokusgruppsamtal mellan personer ur allmänheten och mellan hälsoexperter från olika ämnesområden, en tredje är frågeformulär till allmänheten. En studie av hur olika typer av metoder från olika vetenskaper fungerar i detta sammanhang ingår även. Studierna utförs i en mångkulturell miljö i Malaysia, där malaysisk, kinesisk och indisk kultur finns bland allmänheten och en mångkulturell miljö i Sverige, där ett stort antal kulturer finns i invandrartäta förorter. Det internationella samarbetet möjliggör studier av hälsoinformation som produceras och konsumeras i två kulturellt mycket skilda länder, vilket ger tillgång till en större variation i såväl informationens utformning som faktorer som påverkar allmänhetens förståelse. Genom kombinationen av två tvärvetenskapliga forskningsgrupper har projektet även tillgång till experter på ett större antal forskningsmetoder. Genom att jämföra hur hälsoinformation fungerar i de två länderna blir det möjligt att nå längre när det gäller analys och förklaring. De två miljöerna innebär såväl likheter som skillnader i vilka riktlinjer för hälsoinformation som kan rekommenderas utifrån studierna. De två forskningsgrupperna kommer att ha kontinuerlig kontakt genom ömsesidiga besök, Skype-möten och en gemensam workshop per år. Målet är att få en bättre uppfattning om hur den expertinformation om hälsa och hälsorisker som finns i Malaysia och Sverige utformas, vilka de främsta hindren för tillgänglighet och förståelse av hälsoinformation är, ur allmänhetens perspektiv, särskilt i flerkulturella miljöer, och vad man kan göra för att öka tillgången till förståelig hälsoinformation och därmed öka invånarnas möjligheter att hålla sig friska och undvika hälsorisker.

The problems can have different causes, e.g. that the experts use a terminology and ways of expression that many cannot understand or that experts disagree about health risks, what causes diseases and how they can be avoided. Information does not reach everybody in their own language in multicultural environments, where there is also considerably more illness. The project is a collaboration between two interdisciplinary centers, where different forms of information about health and health risks from researchers and other experts are studied from the perspective accessibility for the general public. The project will study written reports, journal articles, leaflets, expert talks in public and in radio or TV programs. Several methods are combined, e.g. text analysis of documents and analysis of video-recorded interviews and focus group conversations involving persons from the general public or health experts from different disciplines. The international collaboration makes comparisons of two culturally very different societies possible with a wide variety of relevant factors influencing public understanding of health communication. This will be useful for drawing conclusions about improvements of health communication and providing guidelines to experts that can contribute to improved health information and health. Allmänhetens förståelse av experters information om hälsorisker i Malaysia och Sverige I såväl Sverige som Malaysia har allmänheten ibland problem med att få del av och förstå experters/forskares information om risker. Problemen kan ha flera olika orsaker, t ex att experter använder en terminologi och ett uttryckssätt som allmänheten inte förstår eller att experter är oeniga om vilka hälsorisker som finns, vilka orsaker som ligger bakom dem och hur man undviker dem. Information om hälsorisker når inte heller alla berörda och i synnerhet i mångkulturella miljöer finns inte alltid information på språk som invånarna förstår. Detta leder bl a till ett väsentligt sämre hälsoläge i vissa miljöer, t ex en del svenska förorter och bland stora delar av allmänheten i Malaysia. Projektet är ett samarbete mellan två tvärvetenskapliga centrumbildningar, en i Malaysia och en i Sverige, där olika former av information om hälsa och hälsorisker från forskare och andra experter studeras närmare utifrån allmänhetens möjligheter att få del av och förstå dem. Det gäller skriven information i artiklar, rapporter, media och broschyrer och muntlig information i t ex föredrag, radio- och TV-program. Flera olika forskningsmetoder kombineras i studierna. En är textanalys av dokument med hälsoinformation, en annan är analys av videoinspelade intervjuer och fokusgruppsamtal mellan personer ur allmänheten och mellan hälsoexperter från olika ämnesområden, en tredje är frågeformulär till allmänheten. En studie av hur olika typer av metoder från olika vetenskaper fungerar i detta sammanhang ingår även. Studierna utförs i en mångkulturell miljö i Malaysia, där malaysisk, kinesisk och indisk kultur finns bland allmänheten och en mångkulturell miljö i Sverige, där ett stort antal kulturer finns i invandrartäta förorter.

Orsakar arbete i mycket varmt klimat dehydrering och nedsatt njurfunktion? Enkla metoder för att mäta värmepåverkan behövs för fortsatta epidemiologiska studier. Konsekvensanalyser av den pågående klimatförändringen har hittills främst varit fokuserade på miljöeffekter och direkta hälsoaspekter. Man har oftast förbisett den direkta effekten av värme på människors arbetsförmåga, och i förlängningen på produktivitet och ekonomisk utveckling. Redan i dag påverkas många människor i tropikerna alltför mycket av hetta, och framtida ökad värmestress kommer att ge betydande förluster i arbetsförmåga. Behovet av att skapa lösningar för att skydda arbetstagarnas hälsa och produktivitet är stort. I Centralamerika är en stor del av arbetskraften utsätts för hög värme under stora delar av året. Undersökningar för att förstå de kort- och långsiktiga effekterna av den globala uppvärmningen avseende arbetsvillkor, arbetstagarnas hälsa och arbetsförmåga ar har varit en viktig del av nätverket SALTRAs (Hälsa och arbete i Centralamerika) program under de senaste fem åren (www.saltra.info). SALTRA är ett program för kapacitetsuppbyggnad inom arbetsmedicin och arbetshälsa genom syd - syd - nord samarbeten. Sedan flera decennier tillbaka har man i vissa delar av Centralamerika sett en kraftig ökning av allvarlig kronisk njursjukdom, som främst drabbar män redan i unga åldrar. Traditionella riskfaktorer såsom diabetes, övervikt och hypertoni kan inte förklara denna ökning. Den folkliga uppfattningen är att arbete på sockerrörsplantager är orsak till sjukdomen. De senaste åren har man i epidemiologiska studier kunnat bekräfta att sockerrörsarbetare är mer drabbade än andra, men orsakerna till detta är ännu inte kända. Det finns dock misstankar om att det mycket tunga kroppsarbetet vid skörd av sockerrör på nyss avbrända fält leder till ständigt återkommande vätskeförluster, som i sin tur skulle kunna orsaka ackumulerande njurpåverkan som så småningom kan leda till njursvikt, ensamt eller tillsammans med andra samverkande faktorer i arbets- eller omgivningsmiljön. Stöd för denna hypotes har man fått av observationer att sockerarbetare på plantager på högre höjd (och därmed svalare klimat) inte verkar drabbas på samma sätt som de som arbetar på det varmare låglandet. Liknande hittills oförklarliga regionala epidemier av njursjukdom har också observerats i i Sri Lanka, Indien och Egypten, som alla också har mycket varmt klimat. Detta projekt är ett samarbete mellan forskare i Centralamerika, och forskare vid Lunds universitet. Det syftar till att utveckla billiga och robusta metoder för att kvantifiera exponering för värme, värmestress och förändringar i vätskestatus under en arbetsdag. Metoderna ska kunna användas vid fältstudier på alla typer av arbetsplatser. Sådana metoder behövs för identifiering av risker i arbetet, övervakning av arbetstagare, och för utvärdering av interventionsprogram. Metoderna ska också kunna användas i epidemiologiska studier för att utvärdera om långvarig värmestress skulle kunna ge upphov till njurskador. Om så är fallet innebär det en hälsorisk, som kan ge ha stora folkhälsokonsekvenser och öka belastningen på hälso- och sjukvården i länder med redan i dag knappa resurser. Men det är samtidigt en hälsorisk som kan påverkas med förhållandevis enkla åtgärder på arbetsplatsen för att minska värmebelastningen och dess konsekvenser.

Effective vector control methods including the use of pesticides, insecticide-treated bed nets, and synthetic and plant-based repellents are important means of control against such invertebrates. However, insecticide resistance, outdoor transmission, and mosquito behavioral changes threaten the effectiveness of vector control measures. Research by our group in 66 villages identified a total of 92 plant species as traditional repellents. Subsequent studies on the repellence efficacy of essential oil or crude extracts of the most commonly reported species showed that the traditional plant repellents were effective repellents against leeches, fly larvae and mosquitoes. Many of the plant-based repellents had similar efficacy to synthetic repellents, have promise as alternatives to expensive synthetics. This project aims to use gas chromatography (GC), high pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) and mass spectroscopy (MS) to identify the active components in the most promising species in order to develop plant-based repellents; to evaluate genotype constituent variability; to test the efficacy of these purified or fractionated repellents using field trials; and to create easy-to-understand, intuitive protocol for local harvesting, extraction and use of the plant-based repellents. Blood-feeding parasites such as mosquitoes, leeches, ticks, mites, lice, bedbugs, and myiasis-producing fly larvae are a common cause of health problems in Lao People's Democratic Republic. Several infectious diseases are spread by insect hosts, e.g. malaria, dengue fever, and Japanese encephalitis, and these are very common in rural areas in Lao People's Democratic Republic. Some of these diseases can be treated with modern pharmaceuticals, but some of the best treatments are very expensive and hard to-come-by in Lao People's Democratic Republic. Another factor complicating diseases treatment is the emergence of drug-resistance, most recently resistance of Plasmodium falciparum to the last effective cure, artemisine, has been found. Controlling the spread of these insect-disease-hosts, i.e. disease-vectors, is an important focal area in absence of effective, available or affordable treatments to these infections. Effective vector control methods include the use of pesticides, insecticide-treated bed nets, and synthetic and plant-based repellents. However, insecticide resistance, outdoor transmission, and mosquito behavioural changes threaten the effectiveness of vector control measures. The cost of synthetic chemicals for impregnation can be an important factor limiting their optimal use. Mosquito control programs often distribute bed nets and chemicals for impregnation free of charge, but sometimes it is required that people subsequently pay for future impregnation of the nets. In rural Lao areas where a majority of the population lives below the World Bank poverty line, costs of USD 4 per net and USD 1 per impregnation are unaffordable. The value of plants traditionally used to repel blood-feeding arthropods has often been underestimated. Plants used to obtain extracts or oils containing natural repellents can often be easily cultivated at a low cost in most tropical areas; especially practical are herbaceous or shrub-like species. However, research on phytochemical composition and repellence efficacy has to an extent focused only a handful of species with promising efficacy in trials, but planting lemon eucalyptus or neem trees does not provide a short-term solution for affected populations. A nationwide study of traditional knowledge on plants that are used to repel or kill hematophagous arthropods conducted by our group in 2009 identified a total of 92 plant species as traditional repellents used to repel or kill mosquitoes, bedbugs, human lice, mites and ticks, fly larvae, and blood-sucking leeches (de Boer et al., 2010). Studies on the repellence efficacy of the 9 most commonly reported species showed that the traditional plant repellents were effective repellents against leeches, fly larvae infesting foods and mosquitoes. Many of the plant-based repellents had similar efficacy to synthetic repellents. The project aims to build on quantitative ethnobiological data on plant-based repellents gathered in prior studies, and to characterize the active phytochemical constituents or/and fractions containing repellents in species that showed promising efficacy in repellence field trials; to evaluate genotype constituent variability to select plant lines with the highest levels of active compounds; and to develop protocols for local harvesting, extraction and storage of plant-based repellents in order to empower communities to create their own repellents, independent of ethnicity, location or government programs.

The strong monsoon influence has varied over time and in turn affected the landscape and vegetation through periods of intense droughts and floods. Lying directly in the path of the monsoons, Sri Lanka is strongly impacted by the SW (summer) and NE (winter) monsoons. Hence, it represents a key region for a better understanding of monsoon variability, its dynamics and long-term impact on climate. However, there have been hardly any studies of these excellent paleoclimate archives (e.g. pristine lagoons, lakes, speleothems) to investigate the response of monsoon variability. Our goals are to 1) reconstruct a high-resolution Holocene paleoclimate record based on 14C age and various geochemical proxies (e.g. sediment characteristics, trace metals, stable isotopes), 2) determine vegetation changes based on specific biomarkers and 3) correlate the data with other proxy records from south-east Asia. We will establish a two-way knowledge exchange, and the new research initiatives and strategic collaboration will provide fresh insights, benefit exchange of students and scientists, and improve existing research facilities. Moreover, our efforts will contribute in filling knowledge gaps and generate a detailed paleoclimate record tracing past changes. This data will provide a baseline for future actions related to regional climate change and its long-term impacts. Indiska monsunen har avgörande betydelse för att förstå den globala och regionala monsunens variationer och övergripande klimatförändringar i Asien. Intensifieringen av monsunen började för ca 10 000 år sedan för att sedan gradvis eller plötsligt bli svagare under mitten och till sen Holocen. Det starka monsuninflytandet har ofta ändrats över tiden och har i sin tur påverkat både landskapet och växtligheten i sydost Asien. Den Indiska monsunen spelar en oerhört viktig roll för flera miljarder människor som är direkt eller indirekt beroende av regnens intensitet och regelbundenhet. Vår förståelse av de faktorer som styr abrupta förändringar i monsunsystemet är emellertid mycket begränsade. Därför är naturliga arkiv som dokumenterar hur monsunsystemet förändrats under den Holocena epoken mycket intressanta när det gäller att utveckla strategier för att förutsäga och lindra effekterna av den globala uppvärmningen. Den pågående klimatförändringen har redan satt sina spår i sydost Asien och prognoser anger att framtida klimatförändringar kan få stora ekonomiska och samhälleliga konsekvenser. Sri Lanka är en nyckelregion för att bättre kunna förstå dynamiken hos den Indiska monsunen och dess påverkan på regionens landområden. Sri Lanka påverkas av den sydvästra (sommar) och nordost (vinter) monsuner. Emellertid har det inte funnits några studier på mark uppgifter om dessa förändringar i Sri Lanka eller dess långsiktiga effekter. Projektets målsättning är att 1) rekonstruera en högupplöst senglacial till tidig modern paleoklimatisk tidsserie baserad på 14C ålder i kombination med andra relevanta variabler 2) bestämma vegetationsförändringar med hjälp av specifika biomarkörer 3) jämföra data med andra indirekta mätserier (t.ex. Arabian Sea, peat, speleothem). Studien kommer att omfatta talrika provtagningar, sedimentkronologi och kemiska analyser av sediment och många geokemisk proxies (tex. spårmetall, stabil isotop, biomarker). Resultaten kommer att ligga till grund för framtida åtgärder, klimatförändringar och avseende miljöförbättringar och hjälpa till att dra upp skötselplaner för bevarande och hållbar utveckling. Hittills har det varit lite publicerats om dessa sedimentära arkiv och dokumentation av baslinjen nivåer av variationer inneboende i dessa ekosystem kan maximera deras hållbara utveckling, användning och bevarande. De vetenskapliga data som genereras i projektet kommer att användas för publikationer på hög nivå och presenteras på konferenser. Dessutom kommer synergi utvecklingen av innovativa strategier/metoder ger nya insikter för att bygga en regional klimatscenarier modell och förbättra förutsägbarheten för nederbörd och temperaturförändringar. Programmet leds av en stark forskargrupp (från Sverige och Indien), som arbetar med olika miljöfrågor som gäller akviferer, kustområden och marina ekosystem. Aktivt samarbete finns redan mellan projektledarna och med andra ledande forskare från Europa, Asien och Nordamerika.

The strong monsoon influence has varied over time and in turn affected the landscape and vegetation through periods of intense droughts and floods. Lying directly in the path of the monsoons, Sri Lanka is strongly impacted by the SW (summer) and NE (winter) monsoons. Hence, it represents a key region for a better understanding of monsoon variability, its dynamics and long-term impact on climate. However, there have been hardly any studies of these excellent paleoclimate archives (e.g. pristine lagoons, lakes, speleothems) to investigate the response of monsoon variability. Our goals are to 1) reconstruct a high-resolution Holocene paleoclimate record based on 14C age and various geochemical proxies (e.g. sediment characteristics, trace metals, stable isotopes), 2) determine vegetation changes based on specific biomarkers and 3) correlate the data with other proxy records from south-east Asia. We will establish a two-way knowledge exchange, and the new research initiatives and strategic collaboration will provide fresh insights, benefit exchange of students and scientists, and improve existing research facilities. Moreover, our efforts will contribute in filling knowledge gaps and generate a detailed paleoclimate record tracing past changes. This data will provide a baseline for future actions related to regional climate change and its long-term impacts. Indiska monsunen har avgörande betydelse för att förstå den globala och regionala monsunens variationer och övergripande klimatförändringar i Asien. Intensifieringen av monsunen började för ca 10 000 år sedan för att sedan gradvis eller plötsligt bli svagare under mitten och till sen Holocen. Det starka monsuninflytandet har ofta ändrats över tiden och har i sin tur påverkat både landskapet och växtligheten i sydost Asien. Den Indiska monsunen spelar en oerhört viktig roll för flera miljarder människor som är direkt eller indirekt beroende av regnens intensitet och regelbundenhet. Vår förståelse av de faktorer som styr abrupta förändringar i monsunsystemet är emellertid mycket begränsade. Därför är naturliga arkiv som dokumenterar hur monsunsystemet förändrats under den Holocena epoken mycket intressanta när det gäller att utveckla strategier för att förutsäga och lindra effekterna av den globala uppvärmningen. Den pågående klimatförändringen har redan satt sina spår i sydost Asien och prognoser anger att framtida klimatförändringar kan få stora ekonomiska och samhälleliga konsekvenser. Sri Lanka är en nyckelregion för att bättre kunna förstå dynamiken hos den Indiska monsunen och dess påverkan på regionens landområden. Sri Lanka påverkas av den sydvästra (sommar) och nordost (vinter) monsuner. Emellertid har det inte funnits några studier på mark uppgifter om dessa förändringar i Sri Lanka eller dess långsiktiga effekter. Projektets målsättning är att 1) rekonstruera en högupplöst senglacial till tidig modern paleoklimatisk tidsserie baserad på 14C ålder i kombination med andra relevanta variabler 2) bestämma vegetationsförändringar med hjälp av specifika biomarkörer 3) jämföra data med andra indirekta mätserier (t.ex. Arabian Sea, peat, speleothem). Studien kommer att omfatta talrika provtagningar, sedimentkronologi och kemiska analyser av sediment och många geokemisk proxies (tex. spårmetall, stabil isotop, biomarker). Resultaten kommer att ligga till grund för framtida åtgärder, klimatförändringar och avseende miljöförbättringar och hjälpa till att dra upp skötselplaner för bevarande och hållbar utveckling. Hittills har det varit lite publicerats om dessa sedimentära arkiv och dokumentation av baslinjen nivåer av variationer inneboende i dessa ekosystem kan maximera deras hållbara utveckling, användning och bevarande. De vetenskapliga data som genereras i projektet kommer att användas för publikationer på hög nivå och presenteras på konferenser. Dessutom kommer synergi utvecklingen av innovativa strategier/metoder ger nya insikter för att bygga en regional klimatscenarier modell och förbättra förutsägbarheten för nederbörd och temperaturförändringar. Programmet leds av en stark forskargrupp (från Sverige och Indien), som arbetar med olika miljöfrågor som gäller akviferer, kustområden och marina ekosystem. Aktivt samarbete finns redan mellan projektledarna och med andra ledande forskare från Europa, Asien och Nordamerika. Dessutom kommer dessa nya forskningsinitiativ och riktlinjer förbättra forskningscentra och gynna utbytet av studenter och forskare och överföringen av teknologi.

The use of energy storage technologies can help providing smarter electrical grids and distributed generation. Flywheels are, among other energy storage technologies, very attractive due to their fast response time and weak life-time dependence on charge/discharge rate. The electrical connection and control of flywheels are multidisciplinary topics, including electrical machines design, magnetic bearings, power electronics and control systems. Those electrical components required for the functionality of such flywheel based energy storage systems are the focus of the proposed project. Aspects as functionality and efficiency can be evaluated, as well as the expected effects of energy storage systems on the grid. Simulations of the different system components and a small scale prototype are expected as deliverables of this project. The work developed is expected to result in scientific publications, patentable material and also to enhance the interest of the academia and industry in this research area. The project will last 36 months and it is to be developed with the collaboration of three different universities: Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, Fluminense Federal University and Uppsala University. Detta projekt syftar till att studera tillämpningen av system för lagring av energi på elnätet, speciellt svänghjul. Användningen av teknik för lagring av energi kan bidra till att ge ett smartare elnät och möjliggöra distribuerad produktion. Tre frågor ämnas undersökas i projektet: - Möjliga tillämpningar för energilagringssystem (särskilt svänghjul) i det brasilianska och det svenska elnätet, - Studie, modellering och implementering av det elektriska systemet (kraftelektronik och styrningsstrategi) som krävs för att ansluta de studerade energilagringsteknikerna, - Design för ett högeffektivt system, inklusive studier av olika topologier för den elektriska maskinen och magnetiska lager. Särskilt i Brasilien, som är ett mycket stort land och där produktionsanläggningar ofta ligger långt från slutkonsumenten, är energilagring ett mycket bra alternativ för att minska behovet av långa transmissionssystem. Detta kan leda till en avsevärd energibesparing, minska förlusterna i elsystemet och kostnaden för att bygga långa kraftledningar. Med de växande politiska insatserna för att omforma den globala energiförsörjningen, förväntas marknaden för energilagring öka. I Europa driver ?20-20-20-målet?, som definierar en uppsättning klimat- och energimål, utvecklingen framåt. För att förstå hur behovet av lagring uppstår, måste man förstå hur överförings- och distributionssystemen har utvecklats och hur intermittent och distribuerad produktion kan ändra kraven på nätet. Den elektriska anslutningen och styrning av elektriska system för lagring av energi är ett mycket intressant ämne, eftersom det kan ha stor påverkan på energisystemets prestanda och effektivitet. I fallet med svänghjul kan den lagrade energin överföras in i eller ut genom användning av en elektrisk maskin, som är mekaniskt ansluten till själva svänghjulet där huvuddelen av energin lagras. Utvecklingen av kraftelektronik gör det möjligt att använda svänghjul med hög effekt, där elektroniken är jämförbar i storlek med svänghjulet själv eller mindre. Kompositmaterial möjliggör hög rotationshastighet. Magnetiska lager och vakuumdrift erbjuder mycket låg friktion under långvarig lagring och längre livslängd för höga rotationshastigheter. Hög hastighet är önskvärd eftersom den energi som lagras är proportionell mot kvadraten på hastigheten, men endast linjärt proportionell mot massan. Både Uppsala universitet och federala universitetet i Rio de Janeiro bedriver forskning om svänghjulssystem. Vid Uppsala universitet har utformningen av elektriska maskiner beträffande både elektromagnetiska och mekaniska begränsningar undersökts. Dessutom har studier av olika strategier för kontroll och kraftelektronik till svänghjulet utförts. På det federala universitetet i Rio de Janeiro, och mer nyligen på Fluminense Federal University, har studier på supraledande magnetiska lager, tillämpade på svänghjulssystem, utförts vilket resulterat i en prototyp av ett supraledande snabbt svänghjul för energilagring. Den kunskap forskarna vid de olika universiteten fått genom tidigare projekt kan kombineras, vilket resulterar i en mycket kompetent och tvärvetenskaplig forskargrupp. Detta arbete, i ett sådant intressant och relevant ämne, förväntas resultera i vetenskapliga publikationer och även öka intresset från såväl akademi som industri inom detta forskningsområde.

It is however not yet clear how feasible in Tropical Africa. An essential question is left unanswered: how can the malaria free situation be sustained in a long run? Islands provide natural experiments. On Aneityum island in Vanuatu, Oceania malaria was eliminated in 1991 with a short-term mass drug administration (MDA), sustained vector control and surveillance (Kaneko 2000 Lancet). Malaria freedom has been maintained up to now with a community-directed strategy. We apply the Aneityum strategy to islands in Lake Victoria with high malaria transmission to examine whether malaria can be eliminated by an aggressive attack and whether malaria freedom can be maintained in Tropical Africa. We specifically aim to examine: 1) the strategy of radical MDA in concert with vector control to eliminate malaria, 2) the roles of community in malaria elimination, 3) the values of malaria elimination for an equitable and sustainable development in Tropical Africa. The outcomes can serve as a model for the proposal of community-directed strategies for sustainable malaria freedom to follow the short-term push by external donors. Along with an ambitious goal we intend to establish new research ties between Sweden and Kenya to conduct collaborative research of high scientific quality, which is essential for us together to plan and submit a further collaborative research proposal to expand our ideas towards global malaria eradication.

På ön Aneityum i Vanuatu eliminerades Oceanienmalarian 1991 genom att administrera en snabb massmedicinering (MDA) med intensiv övervakning och vektorkontroll (Kaneko et al.2000 Lancet). Frihet från malaria har tills nu upprätthållits genom en samhällsstyrd strategi. Vi tillämpar ?Aneityum strategin? i Lake Victoria med hög malaria överföring för att undersöka om malaria kan elimineras genom en aggressiv attack och om frihet från malaria kan upprätthållas i det tropiska Afrika. Vi ämnar särskilt undersöka: 1) strategin för en radikal MDA tillsammans med vectorkontroll för att eliminera malaria, 2) samhällets roll vid eliminering av malaria, 3) värdet av att eliminera malaria för en rättvis och uthållig utveckling i det tropiska Afrika. Resultaten kan tjäna som en modell för förslag på samhällsinriktade strategier för hållbar frihet från malaria och åstadkomma ett snabbt tryck från externa donatorer.

In this project we want to develop pro-active management strategies for plant invasions in high-latitude mountains and protected areas, via an innovative approach that combines observational with experimental studies and directly uses their results in predictive models. By creatively using altitudinal gradients in a cross-continental study in the Swedish Scandes and the Chilean and Argentinian Andes, we aim at disentangling the roles of human-mediated and climatic factors in driving plant invasions. Via a novel method (combining high-resolution thermal images with precise species occurrence data) we will study which pathways nonnative species use for uphill migration. Further, we will compare management practices among the 3 countries to determine realistic and effective strategies per region. Our cross-continental approach will allow testing for universal patterns, which might significantly contribute to the research field of biological invasions. By creating a link between science and management for developing pro-active management practices for nonnative species, we believe this project will help to significantly reduce the costs for invasive species control. Lastly, this collaborative project will be an excellent framework to offer master students international research experience. Effekten av främmande arter på inhemsk biologisk mångfald anses vara ett av de främsta hoten mot jordens biologiska mångfald. På grund av ökande handel, resande och transporter har både avsiktliga och oavsiktliga introduktioner av arter bortom sina naturliga utbredningsområden blivit allt vanligare. Vissa främmande arter blir invasiva och kan drastiskt och permanent förändra inhemska ekosystem. Att kontrollera eller utrota dem innebär ofta stora ekonomiska kostnader. Trots att det här är ett globalt problem bedrivs den mesta forskningen om biologiska invasioner i industriländer, där antalet forskare och finansieringsmöjligheterna är störst. Bergsområden och naturreservat förtjänar särskild uppmärksamhet när det gäller växtinvasioner. Deras artrika och ofta orörda ekosystemen hyser stora naturvärden, och invasioner i sådana ekosystem är ofta svårhanterliga på grund av otillgänglig och svår terräng. Eftersom dessa ekosystem för närvarande utsätts för ett snabbt ökande antal främmande arter men ännu inte är kraftigt påverkade, erbjuder de en unik möjlighet till förebyggande åtgärder mot detta ökande hot. Sådana förebyggande åtgärder är särskilt viktiga i utvecklingsländer som Chile och Argentina, där antalet främmande arter är stort och resurserna för att förhindra invasioner och öka allmänhetens medvetande om problemen små. Syftet med detta projekt är att få djupgående förståelse för de generella processer som styr växtinvasioner i bergsområden, och att utveckla effektiva skötselstrategier för att minska risken för pågående och framtida invasioner av skyddade områden i bergsområden. Vi kommer att jobba på två kontinenter med både jämförande studier och experiment. Resultaten kommer att användas för att utveckla matematiska modeller för att förutsäga framtida spridning av arter. Vi kommer att använda fem främmande arter (rölleka, groblad, bergsyra, rödklöver och vitklöver) längs höjdgradienter i de svenska fjällen och i de chilenska och argentinska Anderna. Genom att använda samma arter i tre distinkta regioner kommer vi att kunna särskilja generella mönster från mönster som beror på lokala förhållanden. I varje land genomförs experiment där vi manipulerar graden av störning och fröspridning längs höjdgradienter (som simulerar uppvärmning av klimatet) för att förstå hur direkta mänskliga effekter (t.ex. störning från vägar) och klimatfaktorer styr växtinvasioner. Med hjälp av en ny metod (högupplösta termiska bilder kombinerat med precisa data på arters förekomster) kommer vi att undersöka med vilka spridningsvägar främmande arter når bergskedjorna. Vi förväntar oss att invasiva arter utnyttjar varmare mikroklimat. Vi kommer dessutom att fastställa hur historiska, sociala, politiska och ekonomiska skillnader mellan Sverige, Chile och Argentina påverkar nuvarande skötsel av främmande arter i skyddade områden, och hur inställningen till främmande arter skiljer sig mellan länderna. Detta kommer att bidra till att hitta realistiska och effektiva strategier för varje region, genom att lära av tidigare framgångar och misstag. Vi tror att detta projekt kommer att väsentligen förbättra vår förståelse för hur mänskliga och klimatiska faktorer påverkar växtinvasioner, och bidra till att förhindra och kontrollera dem. Genom att göra studien på flera kontinenter kan förståelsen för ett globalt fenomen som biologiska invasioner ökas avsevärt i och med att man kan visa på skillnader och likheter i invasionsprocessen mellan olika bergsområden. Genom att skapa en länk mellan forskning och skötsel för att utveckla de bästa (proaktiva) skötselmetoderna för främmande arter i skyddade områden på höga höjder och latituder, hoppas vi att drastiskt kunna minska kostnaderna för kontroll av främmande arter. Slutligen så kommer detta samarbetsprojekt att ge mycket goda möjligheter för mastersstudenter att få internationell erfarenhet från en mångfald av ekosystem.

Slutligen så kommer detta samarbetsprojekt att ge mycket goda möjligheter för mastersstudenter att få internationell erfarenhet från en mångfald av ekosystem.

We have identified a severe disease, caused by a group of four Botryosphaeria fungi, as a main factor limiting the sustainable cultivation of the popular tree species. The fungi infect, in concert, and cause very severe and widespread disease on Grevillea robusta, Eucalyptus spp., Senna siamea and Azadiracta indica, all exotics in the region. The indigenous and drought resistant species, Melia volkensii seems resistant to the disease. The disease is most prevalent and severe in drylands. The complex nature of the disease poses interesting questions about the host-pathogen interactions, which require urgent attention. We aim to promote the use of disease resistant indigenous tree species in order to enhance sustainability of forestry and on-farm tree production in hot and dry areas. Tree species are being developed for drought tolerance in domestication programs in the region. We will examine the pathogenicity of the Botryosphaeria fungi to such tree species. It is important to identify tree species suited for drylands to increase the timber species for increased wood production, especially in the face of climate change predicted to aggravate aridity in the region. The project will consolidate collaboration of the project scientists and stakeholders through workshops and exchange visits. Skype and video conferences will be used to enhance project coordination and give quicker results. I Östafrika till skillnad från i Sverige är de träd som odlas i det småskaliga jordbruket och skogsbruket nästan bara främmande trädslag. Grevillea robusta (Grevillea) är böndernas viktigaste timmerträd i Kenya och trädarten ökar i användning i Uganda. Olika Eucalyptus arter (Eucalyptus) odlas i stor utsträcknig i större skogsplanteringar men också i liten skala hos bönder. Både Grevillea och Eucalyptus har nu drabbats allvarligt av en Botryosphaeria-sjukdom, som hotar odlingarna och innebär stora förluster för bönderna. Det visar sig också att ytterligare trädarter, som används av bönder, exoterna Senna siamea och Azadiracta indica är ungefär lika mottaglliga som Grevillea, medan det inhemska trädslaget Melia volkensii (Melia)är mycket motståndskraftigt. Under 2003 uppmärksammades en inte tidigare känd sjukdom på Grevillea. I Masaka distriktet i sydvästra Uganda var nästan 100 % av Grevillea- träden sjuka och döende på vissa gårdar. I det föreslagna projektet bygger vi på den kunskap som tidigare genomförda projekt givit med hjälp av anslag från Formas Sida-SAREC och genom Dr Njugunas (2011) doktorandprojekt på SLU, finanserat av Kenya Forest Research Institute, KEFRI. Vi visade att en ny kräftsårssjukdom drabbat Grevillea m. fl. arter, i Kenya, Uganda och Etiopien. Patogenitetstest har visat att det är en Botryospheria-sjukdom, som orsakas av minst fyra olika Botryosphaeria-arter, vilka angriper tillsammans (Njuguna 2011). Det finns sjuka och döende träd över stora områden.Värst drabbas Grevillea och även de andra undersökta arterna i torra och heta agroekologiska zoner. Eftersom Botryosphaeria-sjukdom hade rapporeterats förekomma på Eucalyptus gjorde vi provtagningar både på Grevillea och Eucalyptus. Det visade sig att sjukdomen på Eucalyptus också var mycket omfattande. Vi beslöt att göra ytterligare analyser på Eucalyptus-materialet, för att kunna göra nödvändiga populationsstudier av fyra patogena svamparter hos de olika träden. Resultaten förväntas ge oss svar på om Botryospheria komplexet är panafriskanskt eller östafrikanskt. Det har lett till att publiceringen försenats. Det övergripande målet med projektet är att befrämja användningen av sjukdomsresistenta inhemska trädslag för skogsbruk och trädodling på småskaliga jordbruk i Kenya och Uganda. Därför behöver vi utveckla samarbete mellan skogspatologi, skogskötsel och skogsträdsförädling. Medvetenheten om de sjukdomsrisker som följer med storskalig introduktion av främmande trädarter behöver öka. Med projektet avser vi 1) Att medverka till mer hållbar trädodling i torra områden med kunskaper om och tester av sjukdomsresistens . Det är av stor vikt att identifiera träd arter som passar i heta och torra områden, för att ersätta sjukdomskänsliga träd och för att öka virkesproduktionen. Behovet förstärks av nödvändigheten till anpassning till klimatförändringar, eftersom varma och torra områden antas öka. Det är nödvändigt att sjukdomsresistens blir en del i program för domenticering av inhemska trädarter, och för att det ska ske kommer vi att organisera seminarier och workshops. 2) Att identifiera sjukdomsresistenta trädarter för att ersätta de som angrips av sjukdomar i torra områden. För utveckling av mer hållbar virkesproduktion behövs tillförlitlig information om sjukdomsproblem. Botryosphaeria-sjukdomen angriper många arter och risken är stor att flera arter kan drabbas. Vi kommer att studera resistensen mot sjukdomen i inhemska träd som nu finns med i domesticeringsprogram för torktolerans. Melia, som nämnts ovan, är ett sjukdomsresistent inhemskt trädslag med hög torktolerans. Inhemskt trädslag är inte tillräckligt för att en trädart kan beräknas vara motsåndskraftigt, utan anpassning till de lokala förhållandena krävs också. 3) Att utveckla skogspatologin vidare genom ökad samverkan mellan östafrikanska och svenska forskare.

Scientists and engineers have been inspired by the water and dust repulsion properties of lotus flower, water strider and butterflies to produce water and dust repellent engineering surfaces. This proposal aims to produce water repellent, dust repellent and antifogging engineering surfaces on metals. The objectives would be achieved by preparing a critical surface through sandblasting and chemical etching. Low energy materials such as polydimethyl siloxane (PDMS) would be used because of their intrinsic hydrophobic property. Special additive such as flour alkyl silane would be added to enhance hydrophobicity. The bumpy sites typical of lotus leaves would be created by laser etching. Experimental surface would be created examined by scanning electron microscopy. Contact angle measurements would be made to evaluate water repellency. Surfaces would be evaluated for water resistance, fog resistance, dust repulsion, environmental contamination. The success of the work would depend on how hydrophobic surface is obtained. The Nano structure super hydrophobic surfaces would be prepared at COMSATS and work on Nano indentation, surface morphology, X-Ray spectroscopy and wet angle measurements would be conducted in Sweden. The collaboration would make an industrial impact in Pakistan as well as in Sweden. Vad som skulle göras: Hitta metoder för att ytan sprängning som penning skjuten mindre penning utan ledningsbanor skott och sand blästring för att få kornstorlek i nanometer. Detta skulle ge basisfor gör super hydrofob yta. Nästa steg skulle vara applicering av titandioxid beläggning genom sol-gel som beskrivs i avsnittet Metod. Den belagda ytan skulle utsättas för FAS 13 fluor alkylsilant och andra låg på ytan föreningar energi. den belagda ytan skulle utsättas för etsning att få en grov yta som är typisk för nano strukturen nano / mikro hybrid yta. Försök skulle vara under vidtas för att etsa med snabbrörliga nital. substratet skulle vara stål 316 och 304. Ytmorfologin skulle undersökas för att se mikro kullar och Nona håriga dalar, skulle partiklar av cancuba vax vara inbäddade i dalarna. Vattnet kontaktvinklar skulle mätas för att erhålla åtminstone 170 ° för att kontrollera nivån av hydrofobicitet. detta förfarande skulle efterlikna ytan på lotusblad som inte fångar damm trots dammiga omgivningar. Experiment skulle också göras på kiseldioxid glas. Den erhållna beläggningen skulle jämföras med det som erhölls genom CVD-teknik. Den fotokatalytiska aktiviteten och den biologiska aktiviteten hos belagda substratet skulle bestämmas av UVA-strålning. De belagda ytor skulle utsättas för nano-mekaniska test, scratings och tester slitage, vatten och damm tester repulsion och korrosion tester för att undersöka deras lämplighet att mycket aggressiv miljö och för att studera deras tillämpning potential i drift. Granskningen enligt UVA-strålning är viktigt att få information om försämringen av beläggning jämfört med normala bulk beläggningar. De skulle också återspegla möjligheten att användas i olje-och gasledningar i mycket varmt och fuktigt miljö som Kuwait och Saudiarabien. Integriteten av belagd yta och de tester som anges i förslaget skulle vara avgörande att utforska sin ansökan potential för ytterligare tillämpning i självrengörande beläggningar, behållare för lagring, textilier smörjmedel, biomedicinska sensorer avloppsvatten behandlingar, solceller, solceller optik oftalmologiska och transporter avsnittet. Deras program har brett utbud från hushåll till mikro elektronik och olje-och gasdistribution pipeline. EXPALIN På vilket sätt den nya kunskapen kan vara viktiga: ? Framgångsrik slutförande av projektet skulle leda till utvecklingen av nya disciplin Nano / micro ytteknik. ? Metoder för att skapa önskad ytjämnhet gömd i naturen skulle avslöjas. ? Mekanism för halka förebyggande genom stötar skulle utvecklas. ? Effekt av ytstrukturen på den våta kontaktvinkeln skulle undersökas. ? Tekniker för att skapa hybrid nano / mikro struktur skulle uppstå. ? Mekanism för nedbrytning av lotus ytan med UV-strålning med låg energi föreningar och oorganiska ämnen som TiO2 och SiO2 skulle förstås. ? Projektet skulle leda till identifiering av nya energisnåla föreningar för att skapa ytråhet. Hur internationella samarbete skulle STÖD TILL detta forskningsområde: Den internationella samarbete skulle injicera ny idé om att förlänga livslängden av material, bevara hållbarheten och skapa gröna miljö. Nya vägar till att producera super hydrofob yta skulle hittas. Detta projekt skulle vara mycket viktigt i utvecklingen av Nano teknikområde i Pakistan eftersom landet är långt bakom och resultaten skulle lägga vetenskapliga tillväxt och smal befintlig vetenskaplig gap.

The Nano structure super hydrophobic surfaces would be prepared at COMSATS and work on Nano indentation, surface morphology, X-Ray spectroscopy and wet angle measurements would be conducted in Sweden. The collaboration would make an industrial impact in Pakistan as well as in Sweden. Vad som skulle göras: Hitta metoder för att ytan sprängning som penning skjuten mindre penning utan ledningsbanor skott och sand blästring för att få kornstorlek i nanometer. Detta skulle ge basisfor gör super hydrofob yta. Nästa steg skulle vara applicering av titandioxid beläggning genom sol-gel som beskrivs i avsnittet Metod. Den belagda ytan skulle utsättas för FAS 13 fluor alkylsilant och andra låg på ytan föreningar energi. den belagda ytan skulle utsättas för etsning att få en grov yta som är typisk för nano strukturen nano / mikro hybrid yta. Försök skulle vara under vidtas för att etsa med snabbrörliga nital. substratet skulle vara stål 316 och 304. Ytmorfologin skulle undersökas för att se mikro kullar och Nona håriga dalar, skulle partiklar av cancuba vax vara inbäddade i dalarna. Vattnet kontaktvinklar skulle mätas för att erhålla åtminstone 170 ° för att kontrollera nivån av hydrofobicitet. detta förfarande skulle efterlikna ytan på lotusblad som inte fångar damm trots dammiga omgivningar. Experiment skulle också göras på kiseldioxid glas. Den erhållna beläggningen skulle jämföras med det som erhölls genom CVD-teknik. Den fotokatalytiska aktiviteten och den biologiska aktiviteten hos belagda substratet skulle bestämmas av UVA-strålning. De belagda ytor skulle utsättas för nano-mekaniska test, scratings och tester slitage, vatten och damm tester repulsion och korrosion tester för att undersöka deras lämplighet att mycket aggressiv miljö och för att studera deras tillämpning potential i drift. Granskningen enligt UVA-strålning är viktigt att få information om försämringen av beläggning jämfört med normala bulk beläggningar. De skulle också återspegla möjligheten att användas i olje-och gasledningar i mycket varmt och fuktigt miljö som Kuwait och Saudiarabien. Integriteten av belagd yta och de tester som anges i förslaget skulle vara avgörande att utforska sin ansökan potential för ytterligare tillämpning i självrengörande beläggningar, behållare för lagring, textilier smörjmedel, biomedicinska sensorer avloppsvatten behandlingar, solceller, solceller optik oftalmologiska och transporter avsnittet. Deras program har brett utbud från hushåll till mikro elektronik och olje-och gasdistribution pipeline. EXPALIN På vilket sätt den nya kunskapen kan vara viktiga: ? Framgångsrik slutförande av projektet skulle leda till utvecklingen av nya disciplin Nano / micro ytteknik. ? Metoder för att skapa önskad ytjämnhet gömd i naturen skulle avslöjas. ? Mekanism för halka förebyggande genom stötar skulle utvecklas. ? Effekt av ytstrukturen på den våta kontaktvinkeln skulle undersökas. ? Tekniker för att skapa hybrid nano / mikro struktur skulle uppstå. ? Mekanism för nedbrytning av lotus ytan med UV-strålning med låg energi föreningar och oorganiska ämnen som TiO2 och SiO2 skulle förstås. ? Projektet skulle leda till identifiering av nya energisnåla föreningar för att skapa ytråhet. Hur internationella samarbete skulle STÖD TILL detta forskningsområde: Den internationella samarbete skulle injicera ny idé om att förlänga livslängden av material, bevara hållbarheten och skapa gröna miljö. Nya vägar till att producera super hydrofob yta skulle hittas. Detta projekt skulle vara mycket viktigt i utvecklingen av Nano teknikområde i Pakistan eftersom landet är långt bakom och resultaten skulle lägga vetenskapliga tillväxt och smal befintlig vetenskaplig gap.

Bacterial contamination of drinking water may be due to fecal contamination either from human and/or warm-blooded animals, or to bacteria from the soil. Indicator bacteria (e.g. E. coli or Enterococcus spp.) have been used for many years to monitor and to determine the quality and safety of water for consumption. In this collaborative study, we propose to evaluate new simplified methods for and to determine the extent of risk factors due to contamination of water used for consumption, and to investigate sewage from the community and from the hospital as potential vehicles of spread of pathogenic bacteria and antibiotic resistance in bacteria in a Nicaraguan community. By analyzing indicator bacteria, particularly E. coli and Enterococci, with the aid of biochemical fingerprinting (PhenePlate system), screening for antibiotic resistance (AREB system) and molecular (PCR or qPCR) analysis we will be able to monitor the presence of antibiotic resistant or pathogenic strains, and to follow the spread of bacteria from animals/humans to surface and well water. Our results and experiences will be presented in two courses in Leon, Nicaragua, open to Latin-American countries. This spread knowledge will form an embryo to increased measures against infant (diarrheal) diseases due to poor hygienic conditions as well as to the global galloping spread of antibiotic resistance. Ytvatten kan innehålla bakterier som härrör från tarmfloran hos människor och djur. Dessa bakterier kan nå ytvattnet via avloppsvatten från sjukhus och kommuner eller via naturgödsel och eftersom framför allt avloppsvatten utgör en viktig reservoar för sjukdomsframkallande och/eller antibiotikaresistenta bakterier är det mycket allvarligt om en vidare spridning till dricksvatten sker. Målsättningen med projektet är att utvärdera en kombination av nya, förenklade metoder för att med begränsade laboratorieresurser studera spridning av sjukdomsframkallande och/eller resistenta bakterier från avloppsvatten eller naturgödsel till ytvatten och vidare till livsmedelskedjan i ett samhälle (León) i Nicaragua. Vi kommer att ta prover från avlopp, gödsel, ytvatten och dricksvatten i León, Nicaragua. Proverna skall analyseras med molekylärbiologiska metoder (PCR, qPCR) för förekomst av diarréframkallande kolibakterier (E.coli), och screenas för förekomst av antibiotikaresistenta indikatorbakterier (Enterokocker och kolibakterier) och diversiteten hos dessa bestäms med hjälp av på KI utvecklade förenklade mikroplattbaserade screeningmetoder (AREB och PhP). Resultat av projektet blir en enkel standardiserad metod för provtagning och analys av spridning av kliniskt relevanta bakterier i miljön. Vi kommer också att få information om huruvida antibiotikaresistenta bakterier i avlopp/gödsel speglar resistensläget hos bakterier hos människa och djur, samt om avloppsvatten innehåller en pool av resistenta bakteriestammar som kan spridas i samhället. Våra data kan också få stor betydelse för framtida åtgärder då det gäller säker hantering av avloppsvatten och andra avfallsprodukter som innehåller stora mängder bakterier i denna typ av samhällen.

We study this using methods from several disciplines to understand of how global trade affects local ecosystems and how middlemen-fishers relations can channel sustainable practices or lock systems in unsustainable trajectories.

In less than a decade the African invasive fruit fly (AIF) has invaded large parts of the afro-tropical region, jeopardizing food security and economic development. It is the major threat to high-value fruit production. Its devastating effect on fruit production and its rapid spread throughout Africa necessitates immediate action. Here we propose to develop and implement bait technology in integrated management of AIF in larger scale production and smallholder farming benchmark sites. The outcome of the research aims to benefit both smallholder farmers, as well as larger scale fruit production. The objectives are: 1. Develop an effective lure for female AIF, utilizing our identified fruit and AIF semiochemicals. 2. Optimization of lures for field application and use in baseline population dynamics study. 3.

This is the focus of CES-CliM; a transdisciplinary project uniting researchers from Sweden, Kenya, Tanzania & Mozambique. We will conduct a field survey in a 4000km natural climate gradient to assess the relative effect of local area-based management on 3 key services from seagrass beds and coral reefs; fish production, shoreline protection & carbon trapping. We will then use satellite remote sensing to test if management has moderated effects of past ocean warming on these services. Finally, we will construct a predictive model to assess how key services could change over the next century, given realistic scenarios of climate warming and improved coastal area management. Thus, CES-CliM will help improve societal capacity to adapt to and develop with changing climate.

The aim of this project is to elaborate and employ a new methodology to the study of the political in the new aid architecture, with special focus on aid to the education sector in Rwanda. Key to the new methodology is to find ways of visualizing and understanding political tension in environments where such tension is not supposed to exist. The project will produce valuable knowledge on the political in a global aid landscape with strong post-political features, and generate important insights into the difficulties of implementing the new aid architecture.

Production of livestock based food in the city is a good opportunity for them to generate incomes. But, there is an increased risk of transmission of zoonotic diseases from livestock to humans and the manure handling do posses an environmental/sanitary and public health risk as well. Usually, regulations for keeping livestock in cities lag behind in developing economies. In this project, to be performed in Phnom Penh in Cambodia, we combine social and veterinary science to analyse and balance the pros and cons for livestock in the city taking gender dynamics into account. These analyses will be compared with existing regulations and then possible interventions will be presented to the Cambodian stakeholders for consideration.

Peacebuilding efforts often produce disappointing results for sustainable peace. Answering to a common critic of shallowness, this project will study the experience and possibility of explicitly grounding peacebuilding efforts in the local government context. Previous research shows a relative absence of such an approach, but it also tentatively shows a positive impact when it has been pursued. Working with a structured multiple case-study approach, the three cases focus on: i) nature of local government reform in light of sustainable peace; ii) the impact of local government on peacebuilding, statebuilding and deepened democracy; iii) the policies that lead to the attained impact. The overall aim is to draw conclusions of relevance both for policy and theory-building regarding the grounding and localizing of peacebuilding efforts and the possible effects that it might have.

This project explores the rise of Chinese capitalism as an agent in international development with regard to two topical issues; first, how it affects, changes, and in turn adapts to, liberal international development, and second, how it effects the opportunity structure and available options in development cooperation for local agents, which is explored with focus on the newly independent South Sudan.

To develop and improve miombo production systems there is need for both broadened and deepened understanding of present land use, forest ecology, forest products economy, and related social and economic structures on process scale and up-scaled in the landscape. Tightly coupled to this is the analysis on the appropriateness and sustainability of different C-sequestration and C-trade mechanisms and land use forest management in relation to adaptation to climate vulnerability. Tanzania is chosen because of significantly heightened interest in the forest sector, but the suggested research will be applicable for the larger miombo area as well as for dry land Africa at large.

Worldwide, the problem of HIV infection is complicated by the occurrence of many infections caused by bacteria and fungi, increasing the number of HIV/AIDS cases that has raised the demand for medical care and hence created a burden to the available limited health budgets. This necessitates continued effort to search for natural medicines of plant origin. The targeted plant species are those claimed traditionally to infection diseases. The project will involve ethnomedical survey, extracts preparation, bio-guided isolation of active ingredients and standardization of herbal drugs, to be done at ITM-MUHAS. Further purification and structural determination of isolated active compounds which requires access to preparative HPLC systems and advanced Spectroscopic facilities, will be done at the University of Stockholm (SU). Furthermore, synthesis of active molecules and their analogues (SU), will give better understanding of the structure activity relationship (SAR) of the target molecules. This project aims to assess a clinical scoring system for evaluation of immunosuppression in HIV-infected patients with tuberculosis (TB) in Ethiopia. The score contains 15 items based on clinical examination. Results of scoring will be correlated with CD4 cell counts, recommended CD4 cut-off levels for initiation of antiretroviral therapy (ART) and TB treatment outcome. At diagnosis of TB, patients will undergo HIV testing and clinical scoring. HIV-positive participants will be followed longitudinally with repeated scoring and CD4 cell testing. HIV-negative TB patients will serve as a control group. Blood for further immunological analyses will be collected. Finding simple alternative methods for assessment of TB/HIV co-infected patients could improve management and facilitate scaling up of ART and integration to peripheral levels of the health care system in resource-limited settings.

The country is the second largest silk manufacturer contributing to 18% of the total raw silk production after China. It is, however, only a fraction of the raw silk that is use in the high end to middle range textile industry. The remaining raw silk and waste silk is left under-exploited. It is therefore the aim of this project to valorise this remainder of raw silk by transforming it into functional fibres nanocomposites. The method used is supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO2); scCO2 is a green technology that enables, in this case, the solubilization and safe impregnation of active metal oxide into silk fibres to form nanocomposites. The combination of metal oxide such as titanium or silver can impart to the fibres antibacterial, electrical and/or magnetic properties with application to low cost decontamination pads, visual sensing of contaminants and as economical components in the detection of clinical and environmental analytes. Overall, the activities and results of this project will significantly increase the possibilities of technological advancement as well as value addition to the silk industry. This project addresses the use of new scientific tools to economic and environmental growth of the masses In many developing countries there is a significant deficit of water, which may increase with the climate change. Projects aimed at increasing groundwater sources form a part of the efforts to meet the United Nations Millenium Development Goals. However, these projects often fail due to the lack of knowledge of the geo-hydrological conditions. With this proposal, focusing on groundwater problems in Mozambique, the hypothesis of a successful use of Magnetic Resonance Sounding (MRS) and a new technique of MRS to provide reliable hydro-geological parameters for deep seated groundwater aquifers and aquifers in magnetic rocks, will be tested. This will be followed by a hydro-geological characterization of different geological environments and an assessment of the quality of the groundwater. The results may form a guide for future groundwater exploration in Mozambique.

Still, regional-scale climate and hydrological reconstructions are sparse in these regions, and available records are often contradictory, lacking quantitative proxies. The main focus of the proposed project is to reconstruct climate and vegetation change in south-eastern Africa, an area where high-quality paleo-records are extremely sparse. Our objectives are to: 1) generate quantitative records of past hydrological change, such as rainfall seasonality and variability, and thereby detect past large-scale atmospheric circulation dynamics, and 2) reconstruct temperature-related fluxes in the vegetation cover, particularly within the grassland biome. Methodical applications involve new powerful bio-chemical technology; hydrogen (dD) and carbon (d13C) isotope analysis on plant-derived biomarkers, so called n-alkanes, that will be extracted from available, well-dated, sediment cores from lakes and wetlands in South Africa and Mozambique. Biomarker screening, i.e. analysing the inherent concentration of each n-alkane, will assist in interpretation and evaluation of the isotope records. A generous dating approach will optimize inter-data comparison and reveal important regional climate excursions with up to decadal age-accuracy during the last 18 000 years that our records embrace. This anthropological project focuses on identity formation among refugees, in particular among refugee youth, in relation to an ongoing humanitarian intervention. Taking the case of UN-run education in the Palestinian occupied territories, the project wishes to investigate long-term and large-scale intervention and its local responses. The overall aim is to understand and analyze local experiences of and responses to two programs in UNRWA schools (i.e. Human Rights Education and Respect and Discipline in Violence Free Schools) and how refugees relate those to national identity-formation, state-building, national independence and international understandings of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The study will provide new ethnographic data about camp life and refugee schooling and theoretical insights about identity formation in relation to aid intervention and refugee labelling.

These services are particularly timber and non-timber products, which depend on primates for dispersal and regeneration. However, without the large charismatic primates the opportunity to develop eco-tourism is also severely diminished.

At the same time, the literature is dominated by a general agreement that tree density and regeneration has declined significantly in the Sahelian parklands since the droughts of the 1970s. Considering that parklands is the main agricultural landscape in Burkina Faso, a country where up to 90 % of the population are directly dependent on agriculture for their livelihoods, the objective of this research project is to provide a consistent understanding of the sustainability of the parklands as a socio-ecological system in the face of changing economic, policy and climatic conditions. The agroforestry parkland systems of Burkina Faso are commonly described as historically resilient and highly dynamic socio-ecological systems characterized by complexity and adaptability. At the same time, the literature is dominated by a general agreement that tree density and regeneration has declined significantly in the Sahelian parklands since the droughts of the 1970s.

It is becoming increasingly evident that the urban poor cannot rely on conventional water and sanitation systems, and affordable, locally adapted alternatives need to be developed. The proposed project aims at supporting the development of sustainable water and sanitation infrastructures for low income households in Bolivian cities. The project will use a systems approach with locally adapted indicators to assess the sustainability of water and sanitation infrastructures in two existing low-income housing cooperatives. An improved system will then be designed for a new housing cooperative and its sustainability will be assessed. The project will involve local community to ensure relevance and acceptability.

The disease mechanisms are poorly understood, largely due to the lack of adequate animal models. We propose to use a placental perfusion model to study the interaction between malaria parasites accumulated in the human placenta in relation to the development of preeclampsia with ot without intrauterine growth restriction. The studies will also provide immediate guidance for ongoing efforts to develop a vaccine, protecting women from pregnancy malaria, and basic insight about the disease processes, which can lead to new treatment and prevention strategies for these complicated pregnancies affecting women in the sub-Saharan region. The specific aims of this project are to uncover common disease mechanisms behind PE with or without IUGR and pregnancy-associated malaria (PAM); to enable predictive diagnosis of high risk cases in the field; to prove feasibility of a cure using A1M in perfusion experiments. This work involves personnel and high risk pregnancy patients from Kenya, Egypt, Tanzania, and Ghana. The research is a socio-economic and institutional analysis of how the capacity of people to adapt to environmental change is affected by ongoing trends of privatization of natural resources. The research takes its point of departure in the Vietnamese context, with a comparative discussion on other countries in Southeast Asia.

Based on this view, large funds have been channeled to NGOs with the assumption that NGOs can advance development and stimulate democracy. Where corruption is the social norm due to the lack of appropriate rules, empirical evidence does not correspond to social capital theory. There is often a discrepancy between the assumed role of NGOs according to the premises of social capital and their behavior that has been described as being corrupt and self-serving. There is however no conducted studies to explain from a theoretical point of view why NGOs often perform the way described. Thus our research aims to bridge this academic gap. We put forward and examine the applicability of game theory to explain the behavior of NGOs. We explore the different rationales of NGOs in relation to their specific context. The research is designed as case studies and will use the described qualitative and quantitative methods. We aim to contribute to theoretical development of our understanding of civil society, in particular regarding the role of the social context and linking theory with practice. The research will also generate knowledge for policy measures on the usefulness of aid to fulfill the purposes of advancing development and democracy goals. Drawing on different theoretical perspectives, the project explores the institutional and power constellations influencing the ability of the states of Bolivia, Argentina and Paraguay to fight land degradation in the Gran Chaco Americano, the largest dry forests in South America. These countries share many historical and cultural features and the same environmental objective, while they differ as regards theoretically relevant variables as their degree of decentralization. By means of within-country and cross-country analysis, the study will provide empirical insights on the characteristics and implications of state involvement in the region and contribute to theoretical development regarding the conditions and implications of institutional interplay for environmental protection in complex ecosystems. The study will, hopefully, have practical significance for policy-making in the region.

The present project addresses the question *When do international and local initiatives of democratization reinforce each other?* It includes case studies on external democracy promotion, as well as local initiatives to improve governance. Since the 1990s, democracy promotion has become an integral part of international interventions of peacebuilding and security. At the same time, there is debate on whether or not democracy can be introduced from the outside, or whether international democracy promotion rather undermines local initiatives for sustainable democracy. This project investigates this topic through analysis of international and local projects in selected regions to understand how these two types of initiatives affect democratization in aid recipient countries. The influences of these efforts of democratization on each other are analyzed through comparative case analysis both within countries and between different international interventions. The project contributes with new empirical knowledge on external aid to loal processes of democratization by enhancing the understanding of what happens to local processes when democracy promotion is introduced from the outside. Thus, the project is valuable for the design and implementation of future international interventions, and moves the research field forward. Detta projekt undersöker frågan om när internationella och lokala processer för att främja demokratisering och utveckling förstärker varandra. Det inkluderar flera fallstudier av internationella och lokala initiativ för att främja demokratisering i länder såsom Afganistan, Bosnien-Herzegovina, Sydafrika och Somalia. Studien består i att undersöka hur internationalla och lokala initiativ påverkar varandra och hur internationellt stöd påverkar den lokala demokratiutvecklingen. Detta undersöks främst genom analys av policy-dokument och genom intervjuer i de länder som är mottagare av det internationella stödet. Intervjupersonerna inkluderar praktiker som arbetar i det lokala civilsamhället, internationella biståndsarbetare och militärer, traditionella ledare såsom hövdingar, lokala och nationella politiker samt byråkrater. Projektet utgår ifrån den stora politiska och akademiska debatten kring internationella interventioner för att bygga fred och demokrati. Sedan 1990-talet har demokratifrämjande åtgärder ingått som en central del i både utvecklingsbistånd och i FN-stödda militära insater. Samtidigt råder det oklarhet kring om demokrati kan introduceras utifrån, eller om internationellt bistånd snarare underminerar varaktig demokratisering. Erfarenheter från demokratistöd till länder såsom Japan, Västtyskland och Italien visar visserligen att detta kan bidra till demokratisering, men i dagens mottagarländer ser villkoren annorlunda ut.

Det är vanligt att samhällena fortsätter att vara uppdelade längs de forna konfliktlinjerna också efter det att inbördeskriget avslutats. Det kan innebära att etniskt ursprung, språk eller religion avgör hur människor röstar och även hur de organiserar sig socialt. Skolor och sportklubbar är ofta uppdelade. Det kan också gälla organisationer och nätverk som arbetar för demokratisering och fredsbyggande. Internationella insatser kan innebära att maktbalansen i samhället påverkas genom att den ena sidans nätverk och organisationer får mer stöd än andra. Projektet syftar till att bidra med ny kunskap om hur internationella insatser påverkar lokala demokratiseringsprocesser, både teoretiskt och empiriskt. Teoretiskt avser projektet att identifiera villkor för när internationella och lokala processer kan förstärka varandra. Empiriskt avser projektet att identifiera och anlysera även fall av demokratisering som tidigare inte undersökts i ett jämförande perspektiv. Det är en utmaning för forskningen att förstå hur lokalsamhällen fungerar, och särskilt att finna lokala processer som inte följer det västerländska mallen för hur civilsamhället är organiserat. Kunskap om detta är värdefull vid planering av framtida internationella insatser för utveckling och demokratisering i våldsdrabbade länder.

Utformning av institutioner som främjar samarbete och förbättrad skötsel av naturresurser: Fältexperiment i Etiopien. Hundratals miljoner människor i Afrika söder om Sahara är beroende av naturresurser för sitt levebröd. Många lever på små jordbruk som är utsatta för jorderosion och allt mer påverkade av klimatförändringar. Många är också beroende av allmänningar för brännved, bete till sina djur etc. Trots många insatser under årens lopp så har jordbruksproduktiviteten inte ökat nämnvärt i Afrika, småbönder tar inte till sig av ny teknik och många allmänningar förstörs. När nu världen vaknat upp och stora resurser satsas på dessa resurser så är det viktigt att förstå hur man bäst kan använda dem. Medan tidigare forskning främst inriktat sig på genetisk utveckling av grödor, olika markvårdsåtgärder och investeringar i insatsvaror så föreslår vi i denna studie en mer beteendevetenskaplig ansats. Utmaningen är att förstå vad som gör att människor kan samverka i att pröva sig fram till nya jordbruksmetoder och gemensamt sköta sina allmänningar. Hur kan institutioner utformas för att skapa sådant samarbete och på samma gång förbättra tilliten i samhället? I projektet studerar vi detta inom ramen för tre teman. I det första analyserar vi situationen där en bonde vinner på att åka snålskjuts på andra bönders experimenterande av nya jordbruksmetoder. Om alla väntar på alla andra så försenas användandet av de nya metoderna. Vi kommer att studera under vilka situationer detta är ett problem och hur man kan underlätta gemensamt lärande. I det andra temat studerar vi hur institutioner kan öka samarbetet kring skötseln av allmänningar. Allmänningar kan lätt överutnyttjas men Nobelpristagaren Elinor Ostrom visade att det finns många exempel på hur grupper själva skött allmänningar hållbart under lång tid. Vi bygger vidare på denna forskning och designar fältexperiment för att öka förståelsen för hur denna typ av institutioner kan skapas och upprätthållas. I ett tredje tema analyserar vi hur utformningen av institutioner för genomförande av markreformer kan uppmuntra till samarbete och därmed minska kostnaden för reformen på samma gång som man ökar tilliten i samhället.

This research is designed to identify what kind of policy measures translate into action. This will be achieved by comparing and contrasting the institutional and multi-level governance structures and agents at micro, meso and macro levels in these countries. Qualitative and quantitative research methods will be used to triangulate data and get a rich account of the systems and rules that prevail, actors that are present, and strategies and actions that take place in different areas. Fieldwork will be undertaken in rural and peri-urban locations in all the four countries, with household questionnaire surveys, key informant interviews as well as the recording of individual sanitation narratives. Workshops and write-shops will also be organized. The project group consists of a rich combination of experts from institutions in Sweden, Rwanda, Uganda, Tanzania and Burundi. The project should fill the gap in sanitation sector institutional analysis and show ways to close the tremendous sanitation backlog in sub-Saharan Africa. Att uppnå millenniemålet för sanitet har visat sig vara en övermäktig utmaning. Medans andelen människor i världen som saknar tillgång till drägligt vatten har redan halverats, går utökningen av sanitetstjänster och ökad tillgång till toaletter mycket trögt. I Afrika söder om Sahara, där hela 70% av befolkningen fortfarande inte tillgång till en dräglig toalett, delar man faciliteter med många andra, eller så använder man helt odrägliga eller inga toaletter alls. Det finns många orsaker till att sanitetssektorn fungerar dåligt. Dels så är det i många länder oklart var ansvaret för sanitet och närmiljö ligger. Ofta decentraliseras ansvaret till lokala myndigheter med låg kapacitet och små resurser. Dessutom är det så att utanför urbana centra så sköter hushållen för det mesta sin egen sanitet. Det vill säga, man förlitar sig inte på några centralstyrda avloppssystem utan den vanligaste lösningen är enskilda latriner. Ofta brister kunskaperna om hur man bör bygga, och underhållet lider ofta av att eventuella tjänster för tömning och underhåll är dyra eller svåråtkomliga. Om toaletten luktar illa så vill man ha den långt ifrån bostaden. Å andra sidan kan det vara farligt att gå ut för att besöka toaletten när det är mörkt. Detta drabbar särskilt kvinnor. Denna forskning jämför hur man hanterar dessa frågor i Rwanda, Uganda, Tanzania, och Burundi. Alla länderna har stora landsortsbefolkningar, men de har lyckats olika vad gäller befolkningens tillgång till dräglig sanitet. I Rwanda har utvecklingen gått snabbt under de senaste åren och hela 55% av befolkningen där har tillgång till så kallad förbättrad sanitet. Preliminära resultat visar på en tydligare styrning från högsta ort vad gäller normer och deras efterlevnad i Rwanda. I Tanzania har sanitetstillgången legat kvar på en låg nivå, med bara 10% av befolkningen som använder toaletter som uppskattas vara säkra och ändamålsenliga. Decentraliseringen av statsbyråkratin där har också kombinerats med tydliga prestationskrav och större medel för investeringar på lokal nivå. I Tanzania har man också decentraliserat, men ser mer till att möta efterfrågan snarare än att driva igenom krav på miljö-och boendestandards. Sanitet i Uganda är huvudsakligen styrd av statens policys och reglerande funktioner och hushåll ordnar tillgången till sanitetsfaciliteter själva. I Burundi förklaras avsaknaden av nationell hygien- och sanitetspolicy med brist på politisk vilja och prioritering av ämnet. Procentandelen av Burundis befolkning som hade tillgång till förbättrad sanitet år 2010 var 46%. Vad är det som skiljer länderna? Det som projektet ska ta reda på är vilken politik eller normer som i praktiken påverkar hushållens vilja att investera i säkra toaletter och se till att hygienbeteendet inte tillåter att sjukdomar sprids. Intervjuundersökningar i olika områden två i Rwanda, Uganda, Tanzania, och Burundi, som representerar rurala och semi-urbana miljöer, ska visa på hur saniteten ser ut. Vilka sorters toaletter används, och hur? Vilka sanitetstjänster finns, och vilka behövs? Vad kostar det? Och hur står det till med hälsan och eventuella diarrésjukdomar? Dessa undersökningar kompletteras med djupintervjuer där enskilda personer berättar om hur de tänker kring sanitetsfrågor: Hur har de själva löst sina problem? Hur har villkoren och lösningarna förändrats över tid? Vilka orsakssamband ser de? Och hur upplever de den nationella och lokala politiken på området? Forskningen jämför inte bara dessa frågor mellan Rwanda, Uganda, Tanzania, och Burundi, utan även på olika skalor inom länderna lokalt, regionalt och nationellt. Projektet ska kartlägga vilka aktörer som finns inom sanitetssektorn och analysera vilken politik som förs särskilt på nationell nivå och hur denna uppfattas av de olika aktörerna och genomförare på olika nivåer i systemet. Vi behöver veta vilken politik som har effekter och stöder själva implementeringen på lokal nivå.

The project should fill the gap in sanitation sector institutional analysis and show ways to close the tremendous sanitation backlog in sub-Saharan Africa. Att uppnå millenniemålet för sanitet har visat sig vara en övermäktig utmaning. Medans andelen människor i världen som saknar tillgång till drägligt vatten har redan halverats, går utökningen av sanitetstjänster och ökad tillgång till toaletter mycket trögt. I Afrika söder om Sahara, där hela 70% av befolkningen fortfarande inte tillgång till en dräglig toalett, delar man faciliteter med många andra, eller så använder man helt odrägliga eller inga toaletter alls. Det finns många orsaker till att sanitetssektorn fungerar dåligt. Dels så är det i många länder oklart var ansvaret för sanitet och närmiljö ligger. Ofta decentraliseras ansvaret till lokala myndigheter med låg kapacitet och små resurser. Dessutom är det så att utanför urbana centra så sköter hushållen för det mesta sin egen sanitet. Det vill säga, man förlitar sig inte på några centralstyrda avloppssystem utan den vanligaste lösningen är enskilda latriner. Ofta brister kunskaperna om hur man bör bygga, och underhållet lider ofta av att eventuella tjänster för tömning och underhåll är dyra eller svåråtkomliga. Om toaletten luktar illa så vill man ha den långt ifrån bostaden. Å andra sidan kan det vara farligt att gå ut för att besöka toaletten när det är mörkt. Detta drabbar särskilt kvinnor. Denna forskning jämför hur man hanterar dessa frågor i Rwanda, Uganda, Tanzania, och Burundi. Alla länderna har stora landsortsbefolkningar, men de har lyckats olika vad gäller befolkningens tillgång till dräglig sanitet. I Rwanda har utvecklingen gått snabbt under de senaste åren och hela 55% av befolkningen där har tillgång till så kallad förbättrad sanitet. Preliminära resultat visar på en tydligare styrning från högsta ort vad gäller normer och deras efterlevnad i Rwanda. I Tanzania har sanitetstillgången legat kvar på en låg nivå, med bara 10% av befolkningen som använder toaletter som uppskattas vara säkra och ändamålsenliga. Decentraliseringen av statsbyråkratin där har också kombinerats med tydliga prestationskrav och större medel för investeringar på lokal nivå. I Tanzania har man också decentraliserat, men ser mer till att möta efterfrågan snarare än att driva igenom krav på miljö-och boendestandards. Sanitet i Uganda är huvudsakligen styrd av statens policys och reglerande funktioner och hushåll ordnar tillgången till sanitetsfaciliteter själva. I Burundi förklaras avsaknaden av nationell hygien- och sanitetspolicy med brist på politisk vilja och prioritering av ämnet. Procentandelen av Burundis befolkning som hade tillgång till förbättrad sanitet år 2010 var 46%. Vad är det som skiljer länderna? Det som projektet ska ta reda på är vilken politik eller normer som i praktiken påverkar hushållens vilja att investera i säkra toaletter och se till att hygienbeteendet inte tillåter att sjukdomar sprids. Intervjuundersökningar i olika områden två i Rwanda, Uganda, Tanzania, och Burundi, som representerar rurala och semi-urbana miljöer, ska visa på hur saniteten ser ut. Vilka sorters toaletter används, och hur? Vilka sanitetstjänster finns, och vilka behövs? Vad kostar det? Och hur står det till med hälsan och eventuella diarrésjukdomar? Dessa undersökningar kompletteras med djupintervjuer där enskilda personer berättar om hur de tänker kring sanitetsfrågor: Hur har de själva löst sina problem? Hur har villkoren och lösningarna förändrats över tid? Vilka orsakssamband ser de? Och hur upplever de den nationella och lokala politiken på området? Forskningen jämför inte bara dessa frågor mellan Rwanda, Uganda, Tanzania, och Burundi, utan även på olika skalor inom länderna lokalt, regionalt och nationellt. Projektet ska kartlägga vilka aktörer som finns inom sanitetssektorn och analysera vilken politik som förs särskilt på nationell nivå och hur denna uppfattas av de olika aktörerna och genomförare på olika nivåer i systemet. Vi behöver veta vilken politik som har effekter och stöder själva implementeringen på lokal nivå.

Smallholders keeping small ruminants, mostly women, are one key driver in poverty alleviation in many regions of the world, but infectious diseases, such as PPR, represent serious threats to further development of the smallholder production. PPR is spreading rapidly despite availability of vaccines and diagnostic tests. The role of wildlife in PPR epidemiology is still uncertain. The overall purpose of the proposed project is to ascertain the current situation of PPR virus (PPRV) in both domestic and wild small ruminants in Tanzania and Pakistan by bringing a multidisciplinary and multinational team of scientists together. Through this project, data will be collected on the epidemiology and risk factors related to PPRV infected livestock and wildlife from study locations and experimental infections. Genetic factors of PPRV and its hosts associated with disease susceptibility will be monitored by molecular epidemiology based on full genome sequencing, transcriptomic analysis of global host response, and functional studies to understand molecular mechanisms of pathogenesis in a host and species dependent manner. Such knowledge is fundamental to devise better vaccines and to facilitate control strategies against PPRV. Peste des petits ruminants hos får, getter och vilda idisslare - ökad förståelse av utbredning och sjukdomsmekanismer kan leda till bättre levnadsvillkor för småbrukare i Tanzania och Pakistan Peste des petits ruminants (PPR) är en smittsam virussjukdom hos får, getter och andra små idisslare som främst drabbar de fattigaste människorna i de fattigaste länderna i världen. Får och getter är nämligen vanliga husdjur i små lantbruk och för eget husbehov i Afrika, Mellanöstern och Asien, områden där PPR är vanligt förekommande och därmed drabbar extra hårt. Djuren sköts ofta av kvinnor och småbruket utgör en stor extrainkomst för dem och deras familjer, avgörande för deras dagliga överlevnad och ett viktigt led i demokrati- och jämlikhetsutvecklingen då kvinnor får en egen inkomst. Smittsamma sjukdomar såsom PPR utgör emellertid allvarliga hinder för vidareutveckling av småbruken och har beskrivits som en viktig faktor som kan leda till kronisk fattigdom bland småbrukare. PPR orsakas av PPR virus (PPRV), som är ett morbillivirus likt mässlingsvirus och framför allt boskapspestvirus (Rinderpestvirus, RPV). RPV orsakade liknande symtom som PPRV (feber, ödem, blåsor och skador i slemhinnor, diarré, minskad mjölkproduktion, akut död och hög dödlighet) fast hos nötboskap. Nyligen förklarades RPV utrotat, vilket betyder att det är den andra allvarliga virussjukdomen som utrotats efter smittkoppor hos människa. Viktiga anledningar till att RPV lyckosamt utrotades var tillgången till enkla och effektiva vacciner, att det endast var en kort tid då infekterade djur spred smitta och då enbart genom nära kontakt, samt ekonomiska incitament för att fullfölja ett utrotningsprogram på lokal och nationell nivå. PPR fortsätter dock att sprida sig snabbt trots tillgång till vaccin och bra diagnostik. Sjukdomen har spridit sig till Nordafrika och Turkiet, nära EU:s gränser, och hotar även att sprida sig allt längre söderut i Afrika. Vilda idisslares roll för smittspridning är ännu oklar, men PPRV har nyligen påvisats i bl a vilda getter i Tibet, Pakistan och Kurdistan, samt i antiloper i Tanzania.

Peste des petits ruminants hos får, getter och vilda idisslare - ökad förståelse av utbredning och sjukdomsmekanismer kan leda till bättre levnadsvillkor för småbrukare i Tanzania och Pakistan Peste des petits ruminants (PPR) är en smittsam virussjukdom hos får, getter och andra små idisslare som främst drabbar de fattigaste människorna i de fattigaste länderna i världen. Får och getter är nämligen vanliga husdjur i små lantbruk och för eget husbehov i Afrika, Mellanöstern och Asien, områden där PPR är vanligt förekommande och därmed drabbar extra hårt. Djuren sköts ofta av kvinnor och småbruket utgör en stor extrainkomst för dem och deras familjer, avgörande för deras dagliga överlevnad och ett viktigt led i demokrati- och jämlikhetsutvecklingen då kvinnor får en egen inkomst. Smittsamma sjukdomar såsom PPR utgör emellertid allvarliga hinder för vidareutveckling av småbruken och har beskrivits som en viktig faktor som kan leda till kronisk fattigdom bland småbrukare. PPR orsakas av PPR virus (PPRV), som är ett morbillivirus likt mässlingsvirus och framför allt boskapspestvirus (Rinderpestvirus, RPV). RPV orsakade liknande symtom som PPRV (feber, ödem, blåsor och skador i slemhinnor, diarré, minskad mjölkproduktion, akut död och hög dödlighet) fast hos nötboskap. Nyligen förklarades RPV utrotat, vilket betyder att det är den andra allvarliga virussjukdomen som utrotats efter smittkoppor hos människa. Viktiga anledningar till att RPV lyckosamt utrotades var tillgången till enkla och effektiva vacciner, att det endast var en kort tid då infekterade djur spred smitta och då enbart genom nära kontakt, samt ekonomiska incitament för att fullfölja ett utrotningsprogram på lokal och nationell nivå. PPR fortsätter dock att sprida sig snabbt trots tillgång till vaccin och bra diagnostik. Sjukdomen har spridit sig till Nordafrika och Turkiet, nära EU:s gränser, och hotar även att sprida sig allt längre söderut i Afrika. Vilda idisslares roll för smittspridning är ännu oklar, men PPRV har nyligen påvisats i bl a vilda getter i Tibet, Pakistan och Kurdistan, samt i antiloper i Tanzania.

This bleak picture is not all-embracing, however. Surrounded by seven neighbors plagued by conflicts, Botswana, Malawi and Zambia constitute a ´Zone of Peace´ spared from violent conflict since independence. This ´Zone of Peace´ comprises 73% of the African population spared from conflict since the end of World War II. This project aims to explain why peace has prevailed in these three countries, despite their location in the world´s most volatile continent and with all their neighbors struck by conflict. In doing so we are looking for causes of peace. Contemporary peace and conflict research focuses on causes of war and conflict resolution. Causes of peace however are understudied. This is unfortunate as such a focus can generate profound insights about peace as it asks new questions which may highlight factors previously overlooked. We will examine this puzzle from a bottom-up approach and see if the ´Zone of Peace´ can be explained by the structure of civic life or by local conflict-resolution mechanisms. Despite the peace they share, Botswana, Malawi and Zambia vary substantially in regards to many factors emphasized as causes of conflict in previous research such as population size, poverty, institutional stability, resources, and ethnic composition. This makes Mill´s method of agreement a suitable methodological approach for this project. Afrika är världens mest konfliktdrabbade kontinent och har upplevt en tredjedel av alla krig som brutit ut sedan andra världskriget. Afrika har även drabbats av 75 % av alla konflikter mellan icke-statliga grupper sedan slutet av kalla kriget. Dessutom har nio av tio, som dött i våld som avsiktligt riktar sig mot civila, såsom folkmord, etnisk rensning och massakrer, varit afrikaner. Denna negativa bild är dock inte allomfattande. Botswana, Malawi och Zambia är omringade av sju länder som drabbats av konflikter, men utgör själva en ?fredszon? helt förskonad från väpnad konflikt sedan de blev självständiga för 50 år sedan. Sedan slutet av andra världskriget har endast tio afrikanska länder varit skonade från krig. Den totala befolkningen hos dessa tio länder är 44 miljoner. Utav dessa bor 32 miljoner (73 %) i Botswana, Malawi och Zambia. Trots den fred de delar så skiljer sig Botswana, Malawi och Zambia avsevärt åt på flera punkter som är identifierade i tidigare forskning som viktiga orsaker till krig. Bland annat skiljer sig länderna betydligt åt när det gäller befolkningsstorlek, fattigdom, institutionell stabilitet, resurser, och etnisk sammansättning. Detta gör ?fredszonen? än mer anmärkningsvärd. Målet med detta projekt är att förklara varför fred har rått i dessa tre länder trots att de är del av den kontinent som är värst drabbad av konflikt och trots att alla deras grannländer har plågats av konflikt. I och med det söker vi orsakertill fred. Freds- och konfliktforskningen uppstod som ett forskningsfält dedikerat till att förstå orsakerna till krig genom att systematiskt analysera de historiska erfarenheterna från krig. Dagens freds- och konfliktforskning fokuserar på orsaker till krig och på konfliktlösning. Orsaker till fred är emellertid ett förbisett område. Detta är olyckligt då ett fokus på fredsorsaker kan generera djupgående förstålse rörande fred - likväl som krig - då ett sådant fokus gör att nya frågor ställs, vilket kan leda till att viktiga variabler som tidigare har förbisetts identifieras. Tidigare forskning visar att orsaken till att konflikter ofta uppstår i samma regioner antingen är att länderna i dessa regioner delar många likartade förhållanden eller att konflikter sprids från ett land till ett annat. Då ingen av dessa orsaker på ett övertygande sätt kan förklara den empiriska gåta som detta projekt fokuserar på kommer vi att använda två nya teoretiska angreppsvinkar. Först kommer vi att undersöka om förklaringen till denna ?fredszon? är strukturen på samhällslivet. Mer precist kommer vi att undersöka hur människor från olika befolkningsgrupper interagerar. Tidigare forskning om Indien visar att städer där hinduer och muslimer umgås mycket sinsemellan, drabbas i mindre utsträckning av konflikter mellan dessa två grupper. Vi kommer därför att undersöka om en liknande förklaring kan härledas till den rådande freden i Botswana, Zambia och Malawi. Vårt andra angreppsätt fokuserar på närvaron av effektiva lokala konfliktlösningsmekanismer.

However, due to the design of the methodologies that are commonly employed in tolerance studies, there is no distinction between those that base their intolerance on poor or false information - here referred to as ?uninformed intolerant? - and those who are ?informed intolerant? that maintain intolerant views despite having access to information that we normally see as supporting tolerant norms. This research project will focus on the informed intolerant individuals, since their impact on the viability of a relatively new or fragile democracy can be significant, while on the other hand the origin of their beliefs, values, and attitudes has been far too little explored. Hence the research question: how can ?informed intolerance? among individuals in low- and middle income countries be understood or explained? In order to investigate this question it is necessary to combine the genre of political tolerance studies with institutionalism and political psychology, where at least related questions have been explored. The study will employ in-depth interviews and small-scale surveys in India, Pakistan and Uganda to also test explanations that derive from a tolerance matrix which has been constructed for the project. Informerad och intolerant ? Om antidemokratiska värderingar i låg- och mellaninkomstländer Att vara ?politiskt tolerant? innebär att man accepterar att individer och grupper som man själv ogillar ändå ska ha samma politiska rättigheter som en själv - åtminstone så länge de ?ogillade? också är beredda att acceptera grundläggande demokratiska spelregler. Politisk tolerans beskrivs ofta som en nödvändig förutsättning för fredlig samexistens och fördjupad demokrati. I studier genomförda i välbeställda demokratier har forskningen visat att individers utbildningsnivå och en någorlunda jämn fördelning av ekonomiska resurser är starkt korrelerade med hög politisk tolerans. Men hur kommer det sig att en del individer är mycket svåra att övertyga om att rättigheter bör betraktas som universella och att de bör gälla lika för alla? Vad är det som gör att politisk intolerans, fördomar mellan individer, eller att hat mellan etniska grupper, ibland kan te sig opåverkbara av dialog, information, upprättandet av personliga kontakter och utbyten mellan människor av olika slag? Frågan som ställs i detta forskningsprojekt är vad som formar djupt rotade politiskt intoleranta värderingar hos personer i miljöer som präglas av fattigdom. Forskningsresultat från låg- och mellaninkomstländer visar att utbildningssystemens kvalitet i dessa länder ofta är så låg att även om individer kan lära sig att läsa och skaffa sig en del grundläggande färdigheter i skolan, så fungerar den sällan bra för att förmedla demokratiska ideal. Fattigdomen ligger ofta på sådan nivå att effekterna av materiell välfärd, och fungerande skol- och sjukvård sällan får chans att manifestera sig. I den forskning som bedrivits inom det s.k. TOLEDO-projektet har vi kunnat visa att otrygghet och konflikter ofta ytterligare trycker ner nivåerna av politisk tolerans i sådana miljöer. Men trots svåra förutsättningar, fattigdom och svaga demokratiska institutioner, så kan politisk tolerans ändå uppstå. Istället för skolan blir partier, fackföreningar, frivilligorganisationer viktiga för att lära ut de demokratiska grundprinciperna. Emellertid finner vi i dessa utsatta miljöer en grupp intoleranta medborgare som vi borde ägna mer av vårt intresse. Det är individer som tycks vara nästintill immuna mot de flesta av de faktorer som vi hittills nämnt som viktiga för att politisk tolerans ska uppstå. De har ofta en rätt god utbildning och många kan beskrivas som relativt välinformerade om omvärlden. Ändå upprätthåller de djupt förankrade politiskt intoleranta attityder och ett mycket stabilt stöd för anti-demokratiska regimmodeller. De kan beskrivas som ?välinformerade intoleranta?. Det föreslagna projektet introducerar en helt ny typlogi som beskriver olika slags intolerans bland medborgarna, och syftet är att försöka förstå och förklara vad som formar attityder hos de mest oböjliga intoleranta individerna, och vad, när vanliga informationskampanjer inte når fram, som kan påverka sådana individer till att inta mer demokratiskt orienterade värderingar. Projektet bygger vidare på tre omfattande undersökningar som genomförts inom ramen för TOLEDO-projektet i länderna Indien, Pakistan och Uganda. Dessa tre länder har brittiskt kolonialstyre som gemensam nämnare och de plågas alla av fattigdom och svaga offentliga stödsystem till medborgarna. Dessutom representerar länderna olika slags regimtyper där Uganda fortfarande väntar på övergången till demokrati, Pakistan är en mycket ung och svag demokrati, och Indien som har en mer djupt rotad demokratisk tradition. I de genomförda studierna har attityder hos medborgarna undersökts med djupintervjuer och omfattande attitydundersökningar. Dessa har lett fram till de resultat som vi här ska undersöka mer på djupet: orsaken till varför en del medborgare utvecklar starkt intoleranta värderingar som är mycket svåra at ändra på.

This is between the indigenous Tanzanian language Ngoni and Swahili, the high status language of the nation. The setting is the Ruvuma region of southwestern Tanzania. The overriding purpose of the study is to develop criteria and a methodology for answering the question of when code switching language use is a sign of identity creation, identity loss, or identity compensation, a process of language loss, or perhaps something else. To answer these research questions 24 informants (12 young and 12 older persons) in two different settings in the Songea area will be recorded during three periods of fieldwork, individually and in a separate focus group session. Notes will be taken and a follow-up interview conducted, followed by both a quantitative and a qualitative analysis. Social constructionist theory provides a framework for the study. The research is influenced by earlier sociolinguistic research on language seen both as a social practice and as a symbolic system through which identity is created within a setting where language shift may be threatening. Thus, the study provides new methods and new data for understanding changing language patterns in a language contact situation. Projektet *Språkligt utanförskap - identitetens betydelse i ett utvecklingsperspektiv* önskar studera varför människor i Ruvuma-regionen i sydvästra Tanzania kodväxlar, dvs alternerar mellan två koder, swahili och ngoni, som är modersmål för de flesta som bor i området. På grund av Tanzanias språkpolitik som upphöjde swahili till kommunikationsspråk över hela Tanzania efter självständigheten används swahili idag inom de flesta domäner, även i avlägsna områden långt borta från de kustområden nära Zanzibar där språket har sitt ursprung. Detta är en situation som är olik de flesta andra afrikanska länder som valde europeiska språk som officiella språk. Swahili påverkar idag både status och användning av alla de ungefär 150 tanzaniska språk som finns. Många av dessa är på väg att försvinna. Hur man använder språk är beroende av sociala faktorer och talarnas identitet, både den egna individuella identiteten och språkgruppens kollektiva identitet. I ett samhälle där ett inhemskt språk finns i en kontaktsituation med ett annat språk med högre status, som här swahili, är frågan om växlingen mellan ngoni och swahili är ett uttryck för att talare av ngoni inte längre kan uttrycka sig tillräckligt bra på sitt modersmål eller om deras kodväxling signalerar något annat. Kan det exempelvis vara ett sätt att uttrycka gruppidentitet - eller rent av flera identiteter samtidigt? Inom ramen för projektet kommer fokus att ligga på hur ngoni-talare kodväxlar och om det i språksituationen finns processer som bidrar till bevarandet av modersmålet och om hur ngonitalarens attityder påverkar språkanvändning. Dessa frågor är av stor betydelse för samhällsutveckling och utvecklingsfrågor i stort och för vår förståelse av sociala förändringar. En övergripande målsättning för hela projektet är dessutom att utveckla kriterier och metoder för att besvara dessa och andra frågor om identitetsskapande och förändringar i språk. Arbetet med min doktorsavhandling och även senare forskning har inriktats mot en utveckling av en sådan metodik. Inga skrivna texter finns på ngoni. Inom ramen för projektet kommer därför tal av 24 ngonitalande personer (informanter) i två byar i Songea-området i sydvästra Tanzania, som ligger drygt 100 mil från Dar es Salaam, att spelas in. Informanterna kommer at väljas utifrån ålder (gammal-ung) och bostadsort (lite större by/mycket liten by). Intervjuerna kommer att omfatta vissa i förväg bestämda teman och kommer att spelas in. Intervjuerna görs individuellt och som ett fokusgruppssamtal där tre personer deltar. Efter inspelningarna kommer en intervju som följer en specifik intervjuguide att göras med varje deltagare. De medverkande intervjuas bl.a. om attityder till språk och faktorer med relevans för identitet. Dessutom ska även de intervjuade själva uppskatta sin kodväxling och vad som hänt språkligt under inspelningen. Denna intervju kommer att ingå i- och jämföras med analysen av den faktiska kodväxlingen med utgångspunkt i data från inspelningarna. Tidigare forskning av sökanden (bl. a i ett postdoktor-projekt om ordlån från Swahili till Ngoni samt en skolundersökning av elevers språkliga bakgrund) har visat att mer än 50 % av barnen lär swahili redan innan de börjar skolan och där de blir undervisade enbart på swahili, och att swahili är mycket närvarande i deras dagliga liv, även i hemmet. Mot denna bakgrund är det av största vikt att undersöka hur ngonitalare använder språken och vad detta språkbruk med kodväxling innebär för dem och deras kollektiva identitet - och på längre sikt även deras framtid. Samtidigt ger en sådan studie generella insikter och kunskap som berör alla mångspråkiga nationer, det vill säga majoriteten av världens länder. Språk är en resurs som är ojämnt fördelad i samhället. Talare av minoritetsspråk har inte samma språkliga rättigheter som talare av nationella och officiella språk.

We have chosen to focus primarily on the monsoon impacts in Bhutan, with a planned extension of the study area to neighbouring Nepal: this region is mainly affected by the Indian Monsoon subsystem, but it is likely to be influenced by the South-East Monsoon subsystem as experienced e.g. in Thailand. We emphasise in particular the use of stable water isotopes (SWI) to better understand and constrain processes in the atmospheric water cycle. The suggested approach combines ground- based (precipitation sampling, shallow ice-cores) and remote-sensed (tropospheric vapour) ob- servations with global and regional climate models with embedded SWI diagnostics. The periods of interest cover present-day, recent (1981-2010) and future (2021-2050) Mon- soon variability. Beyond the inherent scientific challenges in improving our understanding of the Asian Monsoon, the present project is highly relevant for supporting sustainable develop- ment policies in the partner countries. Analysing the regional SWI signature will also contribute to a refined interpretation of isotopic climate archives in Southern and Eastern Asia. Anthropogenic climate change, whose historical responsibility mainly lies with industrial nations, represents a critical challenge for developing countries. It is commonly accepted that the mean global temperature will increase by approximately 1 to 5 °C by 2100. This considerable temperature increase does not fully express the consequences of global climate change for, in this case, the populations of Bhutan and Nepal. Bhutan is a small country on the southern foothills of the Himalayas, bordered by India to the south and the Chinese Autonomous Region of Tibet to the north. The water resource issue is critical for Bhutan: 67% of its population lives in rural areas, with a limited use of irrigation techniques. Furthermore, Bhutan has recently developed its hydro-electrical capacities; electricity production exceeding the domestic demand is exported to India, which constitutes a major source of foreign currencies (42% of all exports). Hence, the people and economy of Bhutan are very vulnerable to any modification of precipitation, both in terms of total amount and seasonality. Bhutanese authorities, which for several decades have been particularly concerned with environmental conservation and sustainable development, need therefore a detailed assessment of the impacts of the global climate change on Bhutan. Evaluating the consequences of global climate change for Bhutan is not a trivial task. Projections for future climate change, as delivered by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), are generally obtained from global climate models (GCM), whose coarse spatial resolution fail to represent the local climate characteristics over Bhutan, marked by a steep topography. Furthermore, most GCM were developed, evaluated and optimized in developed countries for temperate climates, and are therefore likely to present significant biases in their representations of the South-East Asian Monsoon. Therefore, we plan to use a high-resolution (up to 15 km) regional climate model over Bhutan, in order to evaluate its performance over present-day and recent (1981-2010) periods, before performing a dynamical downscaling of global IPCC projections for the near future (2021-2050). Yet the evaluation of the model performance over Bhutan is complicated by the fact that long observational series, as required for statistical significance assessment, are not available in Bhutan. Therefore, we opted for including stable water isotopes (SWI) as an additional indicator of the atmospheric water cycle. The SWI signal integrates processes along the air-mass trajectory, such as the source region, cumulative rain-out, evapo-transpiration over land etc. SWI will be studied both in observations (precipitation monitoring network over Bhutan, shallow ice-cores, satellite retrieval) and modeling (SWI module in the regional climate model REMOiso). Combining observations and model results, we will concentrate on distinguishing between natural climate variability and underlying climate change over Bhutan during 1981-2010. Thanks to our improved understanding of Monsoon dynamics in Bhutan, and the metrics characterizing the statistical properties of Monsoon variability, we intend to deliver not only a validated climate projection for Bhutan, but also an assessment of the reliability (i.e. statistical level of confidence) of the simulated climate projection.

Therefore, we plan to use a high-resolution (up to 15 km) regional climate model over Bhutan, in order to evaluate its performance over present-day and recent (1981-2010) periods, before performing a dynamical downscaling of global IPCC projections for the near future (2021-2050). Yet the evaluation of the model performance over Bhutan is complicated by the fact that long observational series, as required for statistical significance assessment, are not available in Bhutan. Therefore, we opted for including stable water isotopes (SWI) as an additional indicator of the atmospheric water cycle. The SWI signal integrates processes along the air-mass trajectory, such as the source region, cumulative rain-out, evapo-transpiration over land etc. SWI will be studied both in observations (precipitation monitoring network over Bhutan, shallow ice-cores, satellite retrieval) and modeling (SWI module in the regional climate model REMOiso). Combining observations and model results, we will concentrate on distinguishing between natural climate variability and underlying climate change over Bhutan during 1981-2010. Thanks to our improved understanding of Monsoon dynamics in Bhutan, and the metrics characterizing the statistical properties of Monsoon variability, we intend to deliver not only a validated climate projection for Bhutan, but also an assessment of the reliability (i.e. statistical level of confidence) of the simulated climate projection.

We have chosen to focus primarily on the monsoon impacts in Bhutan, with a planned extension of the study area to neighbouring Nepal: this region is mainly affected by the Indian Monsoon subsystem, but it is likely to be influenced by the South-East Monsoon subsystem as experienced e.g. in Thailand. We emphasise in particular the use of stable water isotopes (SWI) to better understand and constrain processes in the atmospheric water cycle. The suggested approach combines ground- based (precipitation sampling, shallow ice-cores) and remote-sensed (tropospheric vapour) ob- servations with global and regional climate models with embedded SWI diagnostics. The periods of interest cover present-day, recent (1981-2010) and future (2021-2050) Mon- soon variability. Beyond the inherent scientific challenges in improving our understanding of the Asian Monsoon, the present project is highly relevant for supporting sustainable develop- ment policies in the partner countries. Analysing the regional SWI signature will also contribute to a refined interpretation of isotopic climate archives in Southern and Eastern Asia. Anthropogenic climate change, whose historical responsibility mainly lies with industrial nations, represents a critical challenge for developing countries. It is commonly accepted that the mean global temperature will increase by approximately 1 to 5 °C by 2100. This considerable temperature increase does not fully express the consequences of global climate change for, in this case, the populations of Bhutan and Nepal. Bhutan is a small country on the southern foothills of the Himalayas, bordered by India to the south and the Chinese Autonomous Region of Tibet to the north. The water resource issue is critical for Bhutan: 67% of its population lives in rural areas, with a limited use of irrigation techniques. Furthermore, Bhutan has recently developed its hydro-electrical capacities; electricity production exceeding the domestic demand is exported to India, which constitutes a major source of foreign currencies (42% of all exports). Hence, the people and economy of Bhutan are very vulnerable to any modification of precipitation, both in terms of total amount and seasonality. Bhutanese authorities, which for several decades have been particularly concerned with environmental conservation and sustainable development, need therefore a detailed assessment of the impacts of the global climate change on Bhutan. Evaluating the consequences of global climate change for Bhutan is not a trivial task. Projections for future climate change, as delivered by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), are generally obtained from global climate models (GCM), whose coarse spatial resolution fail to represent the local climate characteristics over Bhutan, marked by a steep topography. Furthermore, most GCM were developed, evaluated and optimized in developed countries for temperate climates, and are therefore likely to present significant biases in their representations of the South-East Asian Monsoon.

But the achievements are now in jeopardy due to lack of resources. This project aims at improving our understanding of the determinants of HIV in Sub-Saharan Africa, focusing on economic status and inequality and intimate partner violence (IPV), and mechanisms at work. This knowledge is essential for designing better prevention programs. Questions about socioeconomic status will be addressed using two data sets. South African National HIV surveys combined with population census data at the community level, and a unique panel from rural KwaZulu-Natal in South Africa, available annually from 2003 to 2012. The richness of the two databases makes it possible to evaluate several mechanisms, ranging from poor health to risky sexual behavior. Few studies have used these data because of limited public access. Questions about IPV will be addressed using the Demographic and Health Surveys that have both HIV status and violence data. We will use the many IPV questions to improve the measures of IPV; former studies use crude ones, ignoring that IPV combined with control behavior seems to affect women strongly, while other types of violence are less harmful. To disentangle mechanisms, we will use knowledge about the HIV status of the husbands (and wives), and the characteristics of violent men. When available, information about men?s childhood experience of violence will be used as an instrument for IPV. Kampen mot hiv och aids har gjort stora framsteg, men risken för bakslag är stor. Antalet nya infektioner är fortsatt högt och inom ett par år kommer resurser för att fortsätta nuvarande insatser att saknas. Det är därför av vikt att utveckla mer effektiva strategier samt att förbättra befintliga program. Hittills har hiv program huvudsakligen fokuserat på individuella faktorer, så som kondomanvändning och hivtester. Under senare år har dock avsaknaden av strukturella faktorer i programmen betonats. Strukturella faktorer är orsaker som ligger utanför den enskilda individens kontroll, såsom undernäring, brist på sjukvård och samhälleliga normer. Det råder stor enighet om att det krävs större fokusering på strukturella faktorer, men samtidigt råder det oenighet om vilka faktorer som är viktiga och hur orsak-verkan sambanden ser ut. Syftet med vårt projekt är att analysera två typer av strukturella faktorer till HIV i Afrika, som båda har ansetts vara av stor betydelse; socioekonomisk status och våld i nära relationer. Socioekonomisk status inkluderar frågor om vilken roll fattigdom, skolutbildning, inkomstskillnader, mm. spelar för spridingen av hiv. Under lång tid ansågs fattigdom vara en viktig faktor, men forskning har visat att i fattiga afrikanska länder så är relativt välbeställda oftare smittade. Ett problem med dessa studier är att de rikaste länderna i Afrika, bl.a. Sydafrika, inte har ingått i studierna. Och i Sydafrika är det tydligt att många fattiga är hiv-positiva. Det har gjorts få studier på ekonomisk ojämlikhet och hiv, men de visar på ett tydligt samband. De har också visats att välbeställda oftare är smittade i fattiga områden, medan fattiga oftare är smittade i välbeställda områden. Den tidigare forskningen är inte överens om varför socioekonomisk status påverkar hiv smitta. En hypotes är att det är relaterat till dålig motståndskraft pga. undernäring och andra sjukdomer. Dåliga framtidsutsikter kan också leda till ett ökat sexuellt riskbeteende. Så kallade transaktionssex, dvs. relationer där kvinnan får gåvor och ekonomisk kompensation i utbyte emot sex, tros också påverkas av socioekonomisk status. Våld i nära relationer anses av många vara en viktig riskfaktor för hiv. Enligt UNAIDS orsakas en av sju infektioner i Sydafrika av våld i nära relationer. De flesta studier har dock gjorts på små urval av kvinnor som besöker kliniker. Det finns en bra men liten longitudinell studie på sydafrikanska data och fyra studier på nationellt representativa afrikanska data, som ger motsägande resultat. Till detta ska tilläggas att program för att minska HIV genom att minska kvinnovåldet inte verkar ha fungerat. Det finns flera troliga skäl till de svaga resultaten. Ett är att måtten på våld är för grova. Ingen studie definierar våld i nära relationer enligt senare tids forskning som visar att det är våld som syftar till kontroll av kvinnan som har stora negativa effekter. Mycket av det våld som rapporteras beror på gräl som spårar ur och där det inte finns en tydlig mansdominans. Ett annat skäl är att man inte analyserat hur våld orsakar hiv. Undantaget är en studie som visar att det är pga. mannen smittats utanför äktenskapet. Vi avser att analysera socioekonomisk status och våld i nära relationer och hur de är relaterade till hiv med nya data och bättre metoder, samt med ett fokus på mekanismer. Vi har tillgång till nationella databaser på individer och hushåll i Sydafrika, med detaljerad information om hiv-status, ekonomiska tillgångar, skolutbildning, sexuellt riskbeteende, mm. Vi avser att länka dessa med information ifrån sydafrikanska kommuner, för att studera hur interaktionen mellan individens och kommunens socioekonomiska status påverkar hiv. Vi har också tillgång till en nioårig longitudinell databas från KwaZulu-Natal i Sydafrika, som vi kommer att använda för att studera effekter av socioekonomisk status över tid.

But the achievements are now in jeopardy due to lack of resources. This project aims at improving our understanding of the determinants of HIV in Sub-Saharan Africa, focusing on economic status and inequality and intimate partner violence (IPV), and mechanisms at work. This knowledge is essential for designing better prevention programs. Questions about socioeconomic status will be addressed using two data sets. South African National HIV surveys combined with population census data at the community level, and a unique panel from rural KwaZulu-Natal in South Africa, available annually from 2003 to 2012. The richness of the two databases makes it possible to evaluate several mechanisms, ranging from poor health to risky sexual behavior. Few studies have used these data because of limited public access. Questions about IPV will be addressed using the Demographic and Health Surveys that have both HIV status and violence data. We will use the many IPV questions to improve the measures of IPV; former studies use crude ones, ignoring that IPV combined with control behavior seems to affect women strongly, while other types of violence are less harmful. To disentangle mechanisms, we will use knowledge about the HIV status of the husbands (and wives), and the characteristics of violent men. When available, information about men?s childhood experience of violence will be used as an instrument for IPV. Kampen mot hiv och aids har gjort stora framsteg, men risken för bakslag är stor. Antalet nya infektioner är fortsatt högt och inom ett par år kommer resurser för att fortsätta nuvarande insatser att saknas. Det är därför av vikt att utveckla mer effektiva strategier samt att förbättra befintliga program. Hittills har hiv program huvudsakligen fokuserat på individuella faktorer, så som kondomanvändning och hivtester. Under senare år har dock avsaknaden av strukturella faktorer i programmen betonats. Strukturella faktorer är orsaker som ligger utanför den enskilda individens kontroll, såsom undernäring, brist på sjukvård och samhälleliga normer. Det råder stor enighet om att det krävs större fokusering på strukturella faktorer, men samtidigt råder det oenighet om vilka faktorer som är viktiga och hur orsak-verkan sambanden ser ut. Syftet med vårt projekt är att analysera två typer av strukturella faktorer till HIV i Afrika, som båda har ansetts vara av stor betydelse; socioekonomisk status och våld i nära relationer. Socioekonomisk status inkluderar frågor om vilken roll fattigdom, skolutbildning, inkomstskillnader, mm. spelar för spridingen av hiv.

We have recently completed the NeoKIP (Neonatal health - Knowledge Into Practice) trial, a community-based participatory intervention that resulted in a 50% reduction in neonatal mortality in 44 Viet Namese communes. In NeoKIP, laywomen from the local Women?s Union acted as facilitators, supporting local stakeholder groups in improving perinatal health. Facilitators stimulated group-members to have a useful dialogue in applying a structured approach to identify problems and accomplish actions using the PDSA-cycle. Similar to other community-based trials we found that this bottom-up-strategy preferably should be combined with efforts to improve service-delivery at hospitals. The aim of NeoKIP+ is to analyse the effectiveness of facilitation of community-level maternal-and-newborn stakeholder groups, and similar groups of staff at district hospitals, on neonatal mortality in six provinces in Viet Nam. Secondary aims include the influence of the health system context on the process of change. The project is implemented in six provinces (28 districts) with neonatal mortality 24/1000 by a randomly allocated stepped-wedge design; birth and neonatal death monitoring is maintained over the total project duration of 4 years.

I Viet Nam föreligger det stora geografiska och sociala skillnader i nyföddas överlevnad som behöver tacklas med lokala initiativ för att öka såväl vårdutnyttjande som vårdkvalitet. Vi har nyligen avslutat en befolkningsbaserad intervention för förbättrad överlevnad av nyfödda (NeoKIP trial, Neonatal Knowledge Into Practice) i en Viet Namesisk provins där forskare från Quang Ninh-provinsen och hälsoministeriet har samarbetat med forskare från Sverige. Interventionen bestod av understödjande av lokala grupper med representanter från primärhälsovården, Viet Nams nationella kvinnoorganisation samt lokala politiker. Grupperna möttes en gång i månaden för att identifiera lokala problem kring hälsa och vård för gravida, födande kvinnor och de nyfödda barnen samt vägar att åtgärda de identifierade problemen. Gruppens arbete understöddes av en person från kvinnoorganisationen som utbildats i att underlätta denna typ av förändringsarbete (så kallad faciliterare), en metod som visat sig vara framgångsrik i Sydasien. En skillnad är att forskarna i studierna i Sydasien riktade sig direkt till de gravida kvinnorna medan vi riktade oss till personal vid vårdcentralen och lokala beslutsfattare. Efter tre års arbete hade dödligheten under nyföddhetsperioden minskat med 50% i de kommuner där NeoKIP metoden användes jämfört med kontrollområdet. Hälsoministeriet och det Pediatriska Institutet i Hanoi har nu uttryckt starkt intresse av en utvidgning av denna satsning. Det finns inga tidigare forskningsrapporter med positiva resultat av en storskalig insats av detta slag. Vi söker nu medel för att genomföra en utvärdering av en uppskalning av NeoKIP interventionen. Det nu planerade projektet ska implementeras i sex fattiga provinser (i totalt 28 distrikt) med hög nyföddhetsdödlighet. Området har 40,000 förlossningar per år med dödlighet under nyföddhetsperioden kring 24/1000 levande födda. Interventionen består av: 1) NeoKIP metoden, dvs införandet av arbetsgrupper på vårdcentraler, och 2) liknande arbetsgrupper som i NeoKIP införs nu också på distriktssjukhus. Arbetet i dessa olika grupper kommer att understödjas av faciliterare från kvinnoorganisationen (kommunnivå) och från provinsens Centrum för Reproduktiv Hälsa (distriktssjukhus). De Nationella Riktlinjerna för Reproduktiv Hälsa (från hälsoministeriet) kommer att användas som underlag för att uppnå förbättringar. Hälsosystemets kontext kommer att bedömas ?diagnostiskt? genom ett nyutvecklat enkätinstrument. I alla inkluderade distrikt kommer interventionen pågå under totalt 18 månader, men tiden för start av interventionen i ett visst distrikt kommer bestämmas slumpmässigt, i en så kallad stepped wedge design. Efter de 18 månaderna med facilitering förväntas arbetsmetoden permanentas. Datainsamling planeras pågå i ytterligare en tid för att studera varaktigheten av interventionens effekter. Studien är dimensionerad för att kunna säkerställa en nedgång av nyföddas dödlighet med minst 4/1000 levande födda. Datainsamlingen är baserad på multipla informationskällor inklusive månatliga intervjuer med byhälsovårdare och sjukvårdspersonal på olika nivåer för att få heltäckande data om förlossningar och överlevnad av nyfödda.

Lagom är bäst - ny förståelse av träd kan ge mer vatten och jordbruksproduktion i tropikerna I det här projektet vill vi klargöra under vilka förhållanden fler träd både kan binda mer kol och bidra till mer grundvatten, som i sin tur ökar produktiviteten i området. Vi tror att en lagom mängd träd i många fall leder till mer grundvatten samtidigt som en betydande mängd kol binds och säkerställer en god tillgång på många av de andra nyttiga produkter som träd kan ge. Det är nog en överraskning för många att träd som är bra för så mycket, t.ex. brännved, markförbättring, skugga och foder till djur kan orsaka att grundvatten minskar för fattiga människor i utvecklingsländer. Men faktum är att de flesta studier visar att träd konsumerar betydligt mer vatten än jordbruksgrödor och gräs. Nyligen har det ökade intresset för att plantera träd för att binda kol i marken, och därmed minska mängden växthusgaser i atmosfären, faktiskt fått många forskare att varna lokala invånare och styrande för detta där det är brist på grundvatten. I den torra delen av tropikerna kommer det mesta av hushållens vatten från just grundvattnet. Varje dag så måste miljontals kvinnor spendera värdefull tid på att bära vatten till sina hem. På grund av klimatförändringarna visar forskningsresultat också att grundvattnet ytterligare kommer att minska i dessa områden och därmed försämra levnadsvillkoren för en stor mängd fattiga och sårbara människor. I torra tropiska områden är det fortfarande oklart om trädplantering alltid leder till minskat grundvatten på grund av trädens transpiration eller om träd kan bidra till att öka grundvattnet genom att förbättra markstrukturen och förutsättningarna för vatten att flöda ner i marken. Vi har sammanställt de studier som har gjorts om detta och funnit att nästan all forskning är gjord utanför tropikerna. Bristen på studier gäller särskilt i de torr-tropiska områdena, där man har som störst anledning att tro att träd kan vara positiva. I många tropiska länder minskar mängden träd hela tiden på grund av sociala och ekonomiska faktorer.

The molecular mechanisms behind these findings are however poorly defined. We here aim to study how the human female genital tract is affected by these hormonal factors by assessing tissue samples and cervicovaginal secretions from cohorts of Swedish and Kenyan women. The genital samples will be defined by expression of junction proteins, distribution and density of HIV receptors, innate immune proteins and genital microflora by using immunohistochemistry, qPCR, proteomics and microbiomics. CD8+ T cells and other innate immune proteins and effector cells play a pivotal role in controlling HIV replication. We here also aim to investigate how these cells and immune activation/inflammation markers influence HIV infection and shedding at the local tissue site. Different CD8+ T cell phenotypes will be correlated to local viral load in both genital secretions and cervical tissue samples. By exploring some of the underlying mechanisms for a dysfunctional mucosal barrier and a disrupted mucosal immune response we hope to contribute to the development of topical compounds against viral transmission and to prescription of optimal contraceptive methods to HIV infected women. Sexuell överföring av HIV-infektion från en smittad kvinna till en osmittad man påverkas av många olika faktorer. I kliniska och experimentella studier har man observerat att användningen av vissa typer av preventivmedel och olika nivåer av de kvinnliga könshormonerna under menstruationscykeln kan öka smittorisken. De molekylära mekanismerna bakom dessa resultat är dock dåligt definierade. I detta projekt kommer vi att studera hur den kvinnliga genitala slemhinnebarriären påverkas av hormonella faktorer. Vävnadsprover och genitalsekret har samlats in från svenska och kenyanska studiepatienter och dessa kommer att analyseras för kvaliteten på de skyddande epitelcellerna och för olika immunologiska markörer i slemhinnan.

The molecular mechanisms behind these findings are however poorly defined. We here aim to study how the human female genital tract is affected by these hormonal factors by assessing tissue samples and cervicovaginal secretions from cohorts of Swedish and Kenyan women. The genital samples will be defined by expression of junction proteins, distribution and density of HIV receptors, innate immune proteins and genital microflora by using immunohistochemistry, qPCR, proteomics and microbiomics. CD8+ T cells and other innate immune proteins and effector cells play a pivotal role in controlling HIV replication. We here also aim to investigate how these cells and immune activation/inflammation markers influence HIV infection and shedding at the local tissue site. Different CD8+ T cell phenotypes will be correlated to local viral load in both genital secretions and cervical tissue samples. By exploring some of the underlying mechanisms for a dysfunctional mucosal barrier and a disrupted mucosal immune response we hope to contribute to the development of topical compounds against viral transmission and to prescription of optimal contraceptive methods to HIV infected women. Sexuell överföring av HIV-infektion från en smittad kvinna till en osmittad man påverkas av många olika faktorer. I kliniska och experimentella studier har man observerat att användningen av vissa typer av preventivmedel och olika nivåer av de kvinnliga könshormonerna under menstruationscykeln kan öka smittorisken. De molekylära mekanismerna bakom dessa resultat är dock dåligt definierade. I detta projekt kommer vi att studera hur den kvinnliga genitala slemhinnebarriären påverkas av hormonella faktorer. Vävnadsprover och genitalsekret har samlats in från svenska och kenyanska studiepatienter och dessa kommer att analyseras för kvaliteten på de skyddande epitelcellerna och för olika immunologiska markörer i slemhinnan. Den genitala bakteriefloran kan också ha betydelse för HIV känslighet och kommer därför att kartläggas.

Neurodevelopmental disorders have previously been neglected due to more challenging health problems, e.g., under 5 mortality. However, CP is a common cause of movement disability and it has a devastating impact on the child and its family affecting occupational activities, social relationships, psychological well-being and financial conditions. We plan to perform a randomized controlled study comparing clusters of villages with the community based program to villages maintaining the ordinary health services. However, before commencing the intervention we need to understand the panorama of CP in Uganda. There is little information available about the epidemiology of CP in Sub-Saharan Africa. We are currently studying a hospital cohort at Mulago University Hospital in Kampala, but there are obvious limitations. Therefore, we plan to perform a population-based epidemiology study on CP at the Iganga DSS, in which we will explore the prevalence, type of CP, severity level, associated risk factors as well as available rehabilitative and therapeutic services. The subsequent intervention study will be performed on this cohort of children. The information and the results from this project will be useful for advocacy purposes and aiding policy makers allocate adequate resources for children with neurodevelopmental disabilities. Det långsiktiga målet med detta projekt är att utveckla ett rehabiliteringsprogram för barn med CP i Uganda som dels syftar till att barnen och deras familjer inkluderas i samhället (ökad delaktighet); dels till att förbättra de nedsatta funktioner som barnen har så att de ska klara dagliga aktiviteter bättre. Projektet tar sitt avstamp i den internationella ledarroll som Sverige har inom forskningen på detta område, och den i internationell jämförelse välutvecklade barnhabilitering som byggts upp i Sverige under de senaste decennierna, samt den studie på barn med CP som nu pågår vid Mulagosjukhuset i Kampala. Ungefär var tionde barn har någon form av neurologisk utvecklingsavvikelse i Sverige och andra höginkomstländer. Den vanligaste formen av motoriskt funktionshinder kommer av cerebral pares (CP) som finns hos 2 bland 1000 barn och som beror på en tidig hjärnskada. Svårighetsgraden varierar från mildare former, då barnen klarar det mesta själva, till svårare former då de behöver hjälp även med de mest basala funktionerna. I Uganda, liksom i övriga Södra Afrika, saknas information om hur vanligt det är med CP, vilka olika former av CP som finns, och vad det är som förorsakar CP. Det finns skäl att tro att CP-panoramat skiljer sig liksom orsakerna till hjärnskadan, t ex bristande mödra- och förlossningsvård, infektioner. Den preliminära studie vi nu gör på Mulagosjukhuset indikerar att så är fallet. Vi kommer också att kartlägga den sociala situationen för barn med CP och deras familjer och vilken typ av medicinsk vård och habilitering CP-barn får. I ett land där den stora utmaningen utgörs av den stora barnadödligheten i malaria och andra infektionssjukdomar faller det sig naturligt att detta inte varit ett prioriterat område, men det finns en stor grupp med barn och familjer som är i behov stöd och habiliteringsinsatser. Den första fasen i detta projekt är därför att genomföra en populationsbaserad epidemiologisk studie om CP på Iganga Demographic Surveillance Site. Där kommer vi att utforska förekomsten, typ av CP, svårighetsgrad, associerade riskfaktorer; det senare för att se om det finns en riskfaktor som skulle kunna förebygga en del fall av CP. Vi kommer även att undersöka den drabbade familjens situation, eftersom CP i många fall upplevs som ett stigma och där föräldrarna försöker hålla undan det CP-skadade barnet från övriga samhället. Vi kommer även att kartlägga vilka former av habilitering barnen får. I den andra fasen kommer vi att utveckla ett *community based* habiliteringsprogram. Det utgår från de principer som tagits fram för *Community Based Rehabilitation* och kommer att arbetas fram i fokusgrupper med medverkan av föräldrar, kommunansvariga, NGOs och internationella experter. Vi kommer även att utveckla ett tidigt terapeutiskt interventionsprogram för att förbättra de motoriska funktionerna hos det drabbade barnet baserat på evidensbaserad forskning och anpassad till de lokala förutsättningar som finns. I den sista fasen kommer detta kommunbaserade habiliteringsprogram att evalueras i randomiserade, kontrollerade studier.

However, the mechanisms explaining these links are less known. We propose to study how social capital affects the risk of discrimination among people living with disabilities in Bangladesh. Several studies have shown that people living with disabilities have worse general health, lower educational outcomes, and reduced chances of getting a job. Moreover, disabled people have been shown to be discriminated against in these and other contexts. The main outcome variables of the study are discrimination in health care, education, and the labor market. The study will include two surveys to collect information on social capital both on community and individual levels. Along with data on other important factors, that may also affect the risk of discrimination of people with disabilities, we will analyze these data by means of multilevel statistical methods. The expected results will give estimates of the role of social capital for the risk of discrimination among men and women while controlling for other relevant factors. There is little evidence on how to improve the situation of disabled people at the level of communities. However, several studies have shown that social capital can be enhanced through various policy interventions. The results of this study may be used to develop interventions that strengthen the situation of people with disabilities in terms of access to health care, education and employment. Syftet med detta forskningsprojekt är att studera frågan om det sociala kapitalet kan påverka människors risk att bli diskriminerade i olika sammanhang. Tidigare studier har visat att människor med ett högre socialt kapital har bättre hälsa, större chans att få en utbildning och högre sannolikhet att erhålla arbete. Men frågan om vad som förklarar dessa sammanhang är betydligt mindre studerad. Vi vill med detta projekt bidra till att öka vår förståelse för det sociala kapitalets roll.

The proposal is hypothesis driven towards diarrheal disease mechanisms. Currently two licensed oral RV vaccines (Rotarix and RotaTeq) are used throughout the world. While both vaccines contain viral strains from ?developed countries? and were evaluated in large vaccine trials in Europe and USA with >85% efficacy against severe diarrhoea, recent information shows low (50-60%) efficacy in low-income countries, with 58% in Nicaragua. We have most recently found from studies in Burkina Faso, West Africa that Levis-negative individual?s (32% of the population) are entirely resistant to RV infections associated with viruses carry genotype P[8 ] a main component of both the vaccines. Having identified the first host genetic restriction factor to RV infection in humans our hypothesis is that the low efficacy of the vaccines in several low income countries is due to the high proportion of Lewis-negative individuals in the population that restrict infection with genotype P[8]. The overall aim is to determine if Lewis-negative individuals in Nicaragua are restricted from infection with genotype P[8] wild virus and current P[8] vaccines. Akuta diarrésjukdomar är fortfarande ett av de främsta globala hälsoproblemen och orsakar nästan en femtedel av alla dödsfall bland barn under 5 år i utvecklingsländer, och mer än HIV och Malaria tillsammans i denna åldersgrupp. Rotavirus är den vanligaste orsaken till de allvarligare diarrésjukdomarna hos barn och orsakar ca en halv miljon dödsfall per år. Eftersom förbättrad sanitet och hygien har begränsad effekt på sjukdomsspridning ses rotavirusvaccination som det viktigaste sättet att minska dödligheten i hårt drabbade länder. De två tillgängliga vaccinen (Rotarix och RotaTeq) rekommenderas av WHO och andra hälsoorganisationer men flera studier har visat på att vaccinen inte är lika effektiva i låginkomstländer, till exempel många länder i Afrika samt Nicaragua där effektiviteten har visats vara ~58%. Detta ska jämföras med runt 90%-igt skydd i Europa och Nord Amerika. Skälen till den låga effektiviteten är ännu inte fastställda men några anledningar som föreslagits är undernäring, förekomst av andra sjukdomar samt cirkulation av ovanliga rotavirustyper mot vilka vaccinen inte skyddar. Enligt vår hypotes beror det begränsade vaccinskyddet på att vaccinstammarna är Europeiska och Nord Amerikanska och på intet sätt representerar stammar i Afrika eller Sydamerika. Tidigare arbete som vi bedrivit i Burkina Faso, Västafrika, har gett viktiga pusselbitar som pekar mot att det är värd genetiska faktorer som är den främsta anledningen till den låga vaccin effektiviteten hos vissa befolkningar. Vi fann att barn som inte kan uttrycka en specifik socker molekyl kallad Lewis, är helt resistenta mot de rotavirustyper (genotyp P[8]) som finns i båda vaccinen. Faktum är att vi inte funnit ett enda Lewis-negativt barn i Afrika som infekterats med P[8] vaccin-liknande rotavirusstammar. Enligt vår hypotes behövs Lewis molekylen på tunntarmen för att rotaviruset ska kunna ta sig in i och infektera värdcellen. Detta skulle i sin tur innebära att dessa barn inte får ett immunologiskt skydd efter vaccination. Förekomsten av ?Lewis-negativa? barn är liten i Europa och Nord Amerika (2-5%) medan vi tidigare har visat att ungefär 30% av barnen i Nicaragua bär på denna fenotyp. I detta nyskapande projekt vill vi bekräfta vår hypotes att värd genetiska faktorer är anledningen till det begränsade skyddet efter rotavirusvaccination i vissa låginkomstländer. Detta ska göras genom ett nära och långvarigt samarbete med vår samarbetspartner Dr Filemon Bucardo och andra medarbetare i Nicaragua, ett land som har rotavirus vaccination sedan 2006, och där vi har varit starkt bidragande tillsammans med WHO och Gates foundation för nationell introduktion av rotavirusvaccin. Frågor som ska studeras är (1): Slå fast kopplingen mellan värd genetik och mottaglighet till olika rotavirus typer. Specifikt ska vi genetiskt identifiera vilka rotavirusstammar som infekterar Lewis-negativa och Lewis-positiva individer i Nicaragua. (2) Beror det begränsade vaccinskyddet på om barnet är Lewis-negativ eller inte?. Genom omfattande vaccinations studier i Nicaragua har vi tillgång till faces prover från barn som naturligt infekterats. Vi ska bestämma vilka genotyper som dessa barn har infekterats med (3) Har ålder en koppling till uttryck av Lewis molekylen och påverkar detta vaccineffektiviteten?

Using a translational approach our goal is to find a strategy to modulate and stimulate the innate immune response, thereby strengthening macrophage capacity in individuals exposed to Mtb and coinfecting agents (HIV, helminths) in endemic areas, and shorten the duration of disease. Specific aims to achieve this are (i) to characterize how apoptotic cells and Hsp72 activate macrophages; (ii) to identify how polymorphisms in the inflammasome genes affect susceptibility to Mtb infection; (iii) how coinfections with HIV or helminths affect macrophage capacity to handle Mtb; (iv) to evaluate how stimulation of NO production and anti-helminth treatment can enhance macrophage function, and serve as adjuvant treatment to conventional chemotherapy. This translational project links basic infectious biology knowhow to clinical applications in high burden TB areas like Ethiopia and Peru. Tuberkulos är världens mest spridda infektionssjukdom.

Afrika, en annan är HIV utvecklingen som ökar känsligheten för aktiv tuberkulos. En tredje orsak är den ökade resistensutvecklingen som också sker i industrialiserade länder, fr.a. Östeuropa. Det behövs därför nya effektivare insatser för att förhindra en fortsatt spridning av denna sjukdom. Omfattande forskning sker nu för att utveckla nya effektivare vacciner som i första hand kan komplettera nuvarande BCG vaccination. Men traditionell vaccination räcker inte för att skydda oss mot tuberkulos. Vi har ställt oss frågan varför *bara* 5-10% av alla de som smittas inte blir sjuka. Frågan är hur kroppens naturliga (medfödda) immunitet skyddar oss mot denna infektion, och hur den kan förstärkas. Hur kan vi stimulera kroppens skydd mot tuberkulos? När kroppens inflammatoriska celler ansamlas i lungan och där äter upp och avdödar tuberkelbakterier, sker också programmerad celldöd (apoptos) och aktivering av lungans immunceller som nu bildar inflammationsstimulerande och bakterieavdödande ämnen, bl.a. kväveoxid (NO). I det fortsatta arbetet studerar vi hur aktiveringen av dessa celler sker och vilka egenskaper hos tuberkelbakterien som medverkar i denna process. På basis av dessa grundläggande studier, genomför vi kliniska studier i Etiopien, där vi utvecklar strategier för att förstärk immunförsvaret hos patienter med tuberkulos. Vi har tidigare visat att tillskott av aminosyran arginin och jordnötter, som innehåller höga mängder arginin, påskyndar tillfrisknandet hos patienter med TB. Detta beror på an ökad lokal produktion av NO. Aktuella studier visar vidare att samtidig HIV/TB infektion stör bildningen av NO i lungan, vilket ökar känsligheten för infektion. Vi breddar nu dessa nutritionsinriktade studier med att följa TB patienter som är dubbelinfekterade med HIV eller mask. Här är målet att förstå varför dessa patienter löper ökad risk att utveckla tuberkulos, och därmed kunna förebygga att sjukdomen bryter ut. Genom en kombination av grundläggande infektionsimmunologiska och kliniska studier av tuberkulos i endemiska områden, hoppas vi kunna utveckla nya strategier för hur tuberkulossjukdomen kan förebyggas och behandlas.

Using a translational approach our goal is to find a strategy to modulate and stimulate the innate immune response, thereby strengthening macrophage capacity in individuals exposed to Mtb and coinfecting agents (HIV, helminths) in endemic areas, and shorten the duration of disease. Specific aims to achieve this are (i) to characterize how apoptotic cells and Hsp72 activate macrophages; (ii) to identify how polymorphisms in the inflammasome genes affect susceptibility to Mtb infection; (iii) how coinfections with HIV or helminths affect macrophage capacity to handle Mtb; (iv) to evaluate how stimulation of NO production and anti-helminth treatment can enhance macrophage function, and serve as adjuvant treatment to conventional chemotherapy. This translational project links basic infectious biology knowhow to clinical applications in high burden TB areas like Ethiopia and Peru. Tuberkulos är världens mest spridda infektionssjukdom.

Projektet syftar till att ge nötkreatursbönder i Uganda såväl motivation som verktyg för att förhindra smittsamma sjukdomar som kan skada deras verksamhet. Först kartläggs de viktigaste sjukdomarna hos nötkreatur i Uganda. Därefter undersöks utvalda besättningar för dessa sjukdomar, relaterat till verksamhet, smittskydd och produktivitet. Sedan upprättas besättningsegna åtgärder i samma besättningar, för att på bästa sätt hindra smitta. Slutligen utvärderas effekterna av åtgärderna. Resultaten värderas både i ekonomiska termer och i förekomst av olika sjukdomar, för att direkt kunna koppla förekomst av smitta till produktionsförluster. Genom att engagera djurägarna i såväl identifiering av de viktigaste sjukdomarna som lämpliga åtgärder i deras individuella besättningar ökar möjligheten att genomföra sjukdomsförebyggande åtgärder. Djurägarnas egen bedömning av motivation och möjlighet att genomföra åtgärderna utvärderas också.

A new oral ETEC candidate vaccine developed by us, consisting of four recombinant strains of E. coli bacteria over-expressing the most important ETEC colonization factors and a toxoid (LCTBA) given alone and together with a mucosal adjuvant, dmLT, is presently evaluated for safety and immunogenicity in adult Swedish volunteers with promising preliminary results. We now plan to evaluate this vaccine in different dosages for safety and immunogenicity in Phase I/II studies in descending age groups; adults, children 2-5 years and young children and infants 6-23 months, in Bangladesh. The project also includes establishment of new methods and determination of optimal time points for assessing mucosal immune responses against the key antigens of the vaccine, in an immunologically primed population. We will also try to identify factors that may explain the lower efficacy of oral vaccines in children in developing countries and based on this identify interventions that may improve immunogenicity in this important target group. Utvärdering av ett vaccin mot diarrésjukdom orsakad av ETEC-bakterier Den övergripande målsättningen med forskningsprogrammet är att utveckla ett effektivt vaccin mot enterotoxinbildande Escherichia coli (ETEC) bakterier för användning framför allt på barn i låg och medelinkomstländer. ETEC är en av de vanligaste orsakerna till diarre´ i världen och sådana bakterier har vistas ge upphov till ca 400 miljoner diarré-episoder och ca 300,000 dödsfall årligen hos barn under 5 år i utvecklingsländer och till 20 -50 % av alla fall av så kallad turistdiarre´. Vi har länge arbetat med att söka utveckla ett effektivt ETEC vaccin enligt samma principer som vi tidigare använt för att utveckla det drickbara koleravaccinet Dukoral®. Kolera och ETEC bakterier orsakar sjukdom på likartat sätt och vi har tidigare visat att en komponent i koleravaccinet, koleratoxin B subenhet (CTB), också kan ge effektivt, om än kortvarigt skydd mot vissa former av ETEC diarré. Vi har nu utvecklat ett nytt, mer komplett sk Tetravalent ETEC vaccin, som består av avdödade E. coli bakterier som genmodifierats till att uttrycka stora mängder av de proteiner, sk kolonisationsfaktor-antigener, på sin yta som är viktiga för att utlösa skyddande immunsvar. Det nya vaccinet innehåller också en toxoidkomponent som är mycket lik den som finns i koleravaccinet Dukoral, men vars struktur förändrats något för att ge upphov till starka immunsvar mot ETEC. I nyligen utförda och pågående studier på vuxna svenskar har vi visat att vaccinet är oskadligt och inte ger upphov till några nämnvärda biverkningar. Resultaten tyder också på att vaccinet ger upphov till starka lokala immunsvar, bl a i tarmslemhinnan, mot alla de viktigaste vaccinkomponenterna. Baserat på de lovande resultaten från studierna i Sverige planerar vi nu att testa det nya Tetravalenta vaccinet med avseende på oskadlighet och förmåga att ge upphov till immunsvar i Bangladesh, initialt på vuxna och därefter barn i sjunkande åldersgrupper, 2-5 år, respektive 6-23 månader, som är de viktigaste målgrupperna för ett ETEC vaccin. Vaccinet kommer att ges som en dryck i en bikarbonatlösning, och i olika doser, initialt i lägre doser på små barn, för att säkerställa att det är biverkningsfritt men ändå ger upphov till goda immunsvar. Studierna ska också söka identifiera olika faktorer som kan förklara varför drickbara vacciner fungerar mycket sämre hos barn i utvecklingsländer än hos barn och vuxna i västvärlden. Vi ska därvid bla utvärdera om olika kosttillskott, tex vitaminer och andra näringsämnen (Vitamin A och D, järn, zink mm), respektive om behandling mot olika parasiter före vaccination kan resultera i förbättrade immunsvar. Om pågående studier i Sverige visar att en immunförstärkande substans, sk adjuvans (dmLT) kan förstärka immunsvaren av oralt ETEC vaccin kommer vi också att testa detta adjuvans i studierna Bangladesh.

A new oral ETEC candidate vaccine developed by us, consisting of four recombinant strains of E. coli bacteria over-expressing the most important ETEC colonization factors and a toxoid (LCTBA) given alone and together with a mucosal adjuvant, dmLT, is presently evaluated for safety and immunogenicity in adult Swedish volunteers with promising preliminary results. We now plan to evaluate this vaccine in different dosages for safety and immunogenicity in Phase I/II studies in descending age groups; adults, children 2-5 years and young children and infants 6-23 months, in Bangladesh. The project also includes establishment of new methods and determination of optimal time points for assessing mucosal immune responses against the key antigens of the vaccine, in an immunologically primed population. We will also try to identify factors that may explain the lower efficacy of oral vaccines in children in developing countries and based on this identify interventions that may improve immunogenicity in this important target group. Utvärdering av ett vaccin mot diarrésjukdom orsakad av ETEC-bakterier Den övergripande målsättningen med forskningsprogrammet är att utveckla ett effektivt vaccin mot enterotoxinbildande Escherichia coli (ETEC) bakterier för användning framför allt på barn i låg och medelinkomstländer. ETEC är en av de vanligaste orsakerna till diarre´ i världen och sådana bakterier har vistas ge upphov till ca 400 miljoner diarré-episoder och ca 300,000 dödsfall årligen hos barn under 5 år i utvecklingsländer och till 20 -50 % av alla fall av så kallad turistdiarre´. Vi har länge arbetat med att söka utveckla ett effektivt ETEC vaccin enligt samma principer som vi tidigare använt för att utveckla det drickbara koleravaccinet Dukoral®. Kolera och ETEC bakterier orsakar sjukdom på likartat sätt och vi har tidigare visat att en komponent i koleravaccinet, koleratoxin B subenhet (CTB), också kan ge effektivt, om än kortvarigt skydd mot vissa former av ETEC diarré. Vi har nu utvecklat ett nytt, mer komplett sk Tetravalent ETEC vaccin, som består av avdödade E. coli bakterier som genmodifierats till att uttrycka stora mängder av de proteiner, sk kolonisationsfaktor-antigener, på sin yta som är viktiga för att utlösa skyddande immunsvar. Det nya vaccinet innehåller också en toxoidkomponent som är mycket lik den som finns i koleravaccinet Dukoral, men vars struktur förändrats något för att ge upphov till starka immunsvar mot ETEC. I nyligen utförda och pågående studier på vuxna svenskar har vi visat att vaccinet är oskadligt och inte ger upphov till några nämnvärda biverkningar. Resultaten tyder också på att vaccinet ger upphov till starka lokala immunsvar, bl a i tarmslemhinnan, mot alla de viktigaste vaccinkomponenterna. Baserat på de lovande resultaten från studierna i Sverige planerar vi nu att testa det nya Tetravalenta vaccinet med avseende på oskadlighet och förmåga att ge upphov till immunsvar i Bangladesh, initialt på vuxna och därefter barn i sjunkande åldersgrupper, 2-5 år, respektive 6-23 månader, som är de viktigaste målgrupperna för ett ETEC vaccin. Vaccinet kommer att ges som en dryck i en bikarbonatlösning, och i olika doser, initialt i lägre doser på små barn, för att säkerställa att det är biverkningsfritt men ändå ger upphov till goda immunsvar. Studierna ska också söka identifiera olika faktorer som kan förklara varför drickbara vacciner fungerar mycket sämre hos barn i utvecklingsländer än hos barn och vuxna i västvärlden. Vi ska därvid bla utvärdera om olika kosttillskott, tex vitaminer och andra näringsämnen (Vitamin A och D, järn, zink mm), respektive om behandling mot olika parasiter före vaccination kan resultera i förbättrade immunsvar. Om pågående studier i Sverige visar att en immunförstärkande substans, sk adjuvans (dmLT) kan förstärka immunsvaren av oralt ETEC vaccin kommer vi också att testa detta adjuvans i studierna Bangladesh.

After that the model will be used to simulate how the maize production will be affected by the future climate scenarios A1B and B2 in Sweden and Nicaragua. An important outcome is to start a forage network between UNA (agricultural university in Nicaragua) and SLU (agricultural university in Sweden). This will be done by research meetings each year, attending international conferences, conduct experiments with a common protocol and work with crop modelling together. Other research institutions working with forage crops will be invited to participate in the network. There is an urgent need to enhance the efficiency of forage use in livestock production in order to reduce the impact on the environment. One part will be determined the energy efficiency for the maize crop. Small silage experiments, mixing forage maize with a local protein crop, will be conducted in Sweden and Nicaragua. Local protein sources such as faba bean and Moringa (Moringa oleifera) will be studied. I detta projekt kommer förutsättningarna för odling av ensilagemajs att jämföras mellan Sverige och Nicaragua. I fältförsök i båda länderna kommer tillväxten noga mätas för att kunna kalibrera en tillväxtmodell för majs. När detta är gjort kommer modellen att användas för att beräkna hur framtida klimatscenarier påverkar majsens tillväxt i Sverige och Nicaragua under detta sekel. Klimatpanelens scenarier A1B och B2 utnyttjas. Scenario A1B innebär en snabbare tillväxt och befolkningsökning än B2, vilket leder till mer utsläpp av växthusgaser och en större temperaturökning. Alla beräkningar skall hjälpa lantbrukare att i framtiden anpassa sin produktion av majs till klimatförändringar. Det är viktigt att säkra den framtida produktionen av bra foder till nötboskap, därför kommer även studier att göras av samensilering av majs och en viktig lokal proteingröda. I Nicaragua används trädet Moringa och i Sverige åkerböna som proteinfoder. Projektet skall utveckla ett fodernätverk mellan forskare vid lantbruksuniversiteten i Sverige och Nicaragua och i detta projekt planeras tre regelbundna arbetsmöten mellan forskare från Sverige och Nicaragua för att planera och genomföra fältexperiment, kalibrera en tillväxtmodell och använda den för att göra framtida beräkningar.

However, the techniques used for nanoparticle production provided no control over nanoparticle size and their efficacy was not investigated in animal models. This study focuses on the design of TQ-NPs using Flash Nanoprecipitation (FNP), a recent technology that allows for preparing optimal nanoparticle sizes with high entrapment efficiency and loading capacity. The efficacy of TQ-NPs will be determined in a panel of cells that range from normal to less aggressive and highly aggressive cancer cell lines, and the anticancer activity will be investigated in animal models. The project has three main aims: 1- Prepare stable TQ-NPs 2- Investigate uptake of TQ-NPs versus free TQ in vitro and in vivo, and 3- Evaluate the anticancer activity of free TQ and TQ-NPs in vitro and in vivo. This project will provide a new approach for the enhancement of TQ-NP anticancer activity and for the first time assess its activity in animal models, which is instrumental for clinical translation. Beskriv vad som ska göras och varför Hydrofoba läkemedel visar dålig absorptionsförmåga och biotillgänglighet i djurmodeller på grund av deras låga löslighet. Detta resulterar i att små mängder av läkemedlet når måltumören och orsakar ökad toxicitet för normala vävnader. Thymoquinone (TQ) är en sådan hydrofob anti-cancer molekyl härledd från det svarta fröet Nigella sativa som har visat mycket lovande anti-tumöreffekter i flera cancersystem. Sedan 2010 har flera forskare preparerat och utvärderat anti-canceraktiviteten av TQ-nanopartiklar (TQ-NP), och fann dem vara mer aktiva än fri TQ, men ingen av TQ-NP har varit inom ett rekommenderat storleksintervall och deras effektivitet har inte undersökts i djurmodeller. Vi kommer att utforma TQ-NP med en ny metod som gör det möjligt att förbereda nanopartiklar med optimal storlek, och som har hög inneslutningseffektivitet och lastkapacitet. Vi kommer att avgöra effekten av TQ-NP i flera celler som sträcker sig från normala och mindre aggressiva cancer cellinjer till mycket aggressiva och invasiva cancer cellinjer, och för första gången undersöka anti-canceraktiviteten av TQ-NP i djurmodeller. Förklara på vilket sätt den nya kunskapen kan vara betydelsefull De resultat som erhålls i detta projekt kommer att beskriva en ny strategi för att öka TQ-NP anti-canceraktivitet och bestämma deras bakomliggande verkningsmekanismer. Dessutom kommer detta projekt var det första i sitt slag med att ge en bedömningen av TQ-NPs in vivo formulering, vilket är avgörande för dess potential att som behandlingsmetod överföras till klinisk verksamhet. Beskriv hur internationellt samarbete kan bidra till denna forskning Teamet på American University of Beirut (AUB) har utförligt undersökt anti-canceraktiviteten av thymoquinone i flera system och fann denna molekyl vara effektiv mot cancer, exempelvis hud, kolon, och osteosarkom. Med hjälp av nanoteknik, har forskargruppen vid AUB nyligen med en ny formulering försökt att kapsla in TQ i nanopartiklar. Resultaten av denna studie visade att nanopartiklarnas storlekar passar de som rekommenderas av National Cancer Institute. De fann också att inkapsling av TQ i nanopartiklar ökar dess anti-canceraktivitet jämfört med fria TQ. Men AUB har inte tillgång till lämpliga experimentella anläggningar för att studera TQ-NP i en panel av tio humana tumörcellinjer av olika histologiska ursprung och som innehåller resistenta och känsliga cellinjer. Denna panel av cellinjer är avgörande för utvärderingen av TQ-NPs aktivitet och preliminära mekanistiska klassificering. Detta system som finns i Sverige kommer att bidra till att komplettera och validera resultaten från AUB. Även om AUB har en djuranläggning, kommer djurmodellen tillgänglig i Sverige, som bygger på ihåliga rör som placerats under huden, vara en idealisk och relativt billig modell (jämfört med xenotransplantat) för att bekräfta den observerade aktiviteten av TQ-NP i många cellsystem. Det här projektet kan inte slutföras utan kompetens från Uppsala universitet vilken perfekt kompletterar den expertis som forskargruppen vid American University of Beirut besitter.

Beskriv vad som ska göras och varför Hydrofoba läkemedel visar dålig absorptionsförmåga och biotillgänglighet i djurmodeller på grund av deras låga löslighet. Detta resulterar i att små mängder av läkemedlet når måltumören och orsakar ökad toxicitet för normala vävnader. Thymoquinone (TQ) är en sådan hydrofob anti-cancer molekyl härledd från det svarta fröet Nigella sativa som har visat mycket lovande anti-tumöreffekter i flera cancersystem. Sedan 2010 har flera forskare preparerat och utvärderat anti-canceraktiviteten av TQ-nanopartiklar (TQ-NP), och fann dem vara mer aktiva än fri TQ, men ingen av TQ-NP har varit inom ett rekommenderat storleksintervall och deras effektivitet har inte undersökts i djurmodeller. Vi kommer att utforma TQ-NP med en ny metod som gör det möjligt att förbereda nanopartiklar med optimal storlek, och som har hög inneslutningseffektivitet och lastkapacitet. Vi kommer att avgöra effekten av TQ-NP i flera celler som sträcker sig från normala och mindre aggressiva cancer cellinjer till mycket aggressiva och invasiva cancer cellinjer, och för första gången undersöka anti-canceraktiviteten av TQ-NP i djurmodeller. Förklara på vilket sätt den nya kunskapen kan vara betydelsefull De resultat som erhålls i detta projekt kommer att beskriva en ny strategi för att öka TQ-NP anti-canceraktivitet och bestämma deras bakomliggande verkningsmekanismer. Dessutom kommer detta projekt var det första i sitt slag med att ge en bedömningen av TQ-NPs in vivo formulering, vilket är avgörande för dess potential att som behandlingsmetod överföras till klinisk verksamhet. Beskriv hur internationellt samarbete kan bidra till denna forskning Teamet på American University of Beirut (AUB) har utförligt undersökt anti-canceraktiviteten av thymoquinone i flera system och fann denna molekyl vara effektiv mot cancer, exempelvis hud, kolon, och osteosarkom. Med hjälp av nanoteknik, har forskargruppen vid AUB nyligen med en ny formulering försökt att kapsla in TQ i nanopartiklar. Resultaten av denna studie visade att nanopartiklarnas storlekar passar de som rekommenderas av National Cancer Institute. De fann också att inkapsling av TQ i nanopartiklar ökar dess anti-canceraktivitet jämfört med fria TQ. Men AUB har inte tillgång till lämpliga experimentella anläggningar för att studera TQ-NP i en panel av tio humana tumörcellinjer av olika histologiska ursprung och som innehåller resistenta och känsliga cellinjer. Denna panel av cellinjer är avgörande för utvärderingen av TQ-NPs aktivitet och preliminära mekanistiska klassificering. Detta system som finns i Sverige kommer att bidra till att komplettera och validera resultaten från AUB. Även om AUB har en djuranläggning, kommer djurmodellen tillgänglig i Sverige, som bygger på ihåliga rör som placerats under huden, vara en idealisk och relativt billig modell (jämfört med xenotransplantat) för att bekräfta den observerade aktiviteten av TQ-NP i många cellsystem. Det här projektet kan inte slutföras utan kompetens från Uppsala universitet vilken perfekt kompletterar den expertis som forskargruppen vid American University of Beirut besitter.

Ett speciellt fokus kommer att vara avvikelser i hjärnans struktur som studerats med magnetkamera och kopplas till genetiska varianter. Vidare kommer vi kunna jämföra data från ett internationellt projekt, Psykiatriska GWAS Konsortiet där vi är medlemmar. Målsättningen är att vi ska kunna utveckla biomarkörer för att tidigt kunna ställa rätt diagnos och sedan välja rätt behandling.

System för vätgasproduktion En växande befolkning och en samtida förbättring av människors livsvillkor resulterar i ett stigande globalt energibehov. De negativa effekterna på miljön i form av luftföroreningar och global uppvärmning blir allt mer uppenbara. På grund av detta är det av yttersta vikt att nu agera och koncentrera sig på att aktivt söka alternativ till vår nuvarande energiförsörjning som är beroende av fossila bränslen. Väte är bundet och homogent fördelat över jordytan och kan avge energi genom kemiska reaktioner med syre, med endast vatten som biprodukt, i till exempel förbränningsmotorer och bränsleceller. Tack vare dessa egenskaper, så betraktas väte som ett idealt syntetiskt bränsle för en ny återvinningsbar, säker, och miljövänlig global infrastruktur för energi, som kan säkra en hållbar framtida utveckling. Tyvärr, finns inte väte i naturen som ren gas, utan existerar i kombination med andra grundämnen, såsom i vatten och organiska molekyler. Därför, förlitar sig en omfattande användning av väte som bränsle (detta kallas vanligen ?väteekonomi?) på utvecklingen av effektiv väteproduktion. Medan vårt fokus inte ligger på behoven av vätgaslagring och användningen av väte i bränsleceller, skulle vi ändå vilja nämna att omfattande framsteg krävs även inom dessa områden. Traditionellt produceras vätgas från naturgas genom reaktionen CH4(g) + H2O(g) ==> CO(g) + 3H2(g). (1) Den här reaktionen kräver mycket energi för att bryta de kemiska bindningarna och därför utförs den vid höga temperaturer (kring 800 °C) samt i närvaron av katalysatorer, vanligtvis Ni/Al2O3, som påskyndar bildandet av reaktionsprodukterna. Den syntetiska vätgasen som produceras på detta sätt måste separeras från CO gas som också produceras. Detta görs vanligen genom en kemisk rekation som kallas ?vatten-gas-växlingsreaktion?. Kolmonoxiden får då reagera med vatten för att producera mer väte och koldioxid, vilka på ett enklare sätt kan avlägsnas från blandningen. Reaktionen är som följer CO(g) + H2O(g) ==> CO2(g) + H2(g). (2) Problemet är att vätgasen som produceras på detta sätt innehåller någon andel kolmonoxid, vilket gör den olämplig för att användas i bränsleceller. Omvandlingen av etanol och biomassa anses också vara ett alternativ till vätgasproduktion eftersom de extraheras från återvinningsbara och miljövänliga källor. Men omvandlingen av etanol konsumerar mycket energi i form av värme samt kolmonoxid, så att reningsmetoder krävs även här. En ny och attraktiv metod för att producera vätgas är delningen av vatten i en process som kallas fotolys. I den här metoden används väldigt nanometerstora halvledarpartiklar som förs in i en vattenlösning och belyses sedan med ljus. Ljuset inducerar en laddningsöverföring från partiklarna till vattenmolekylerna, vilket leder till delning av vattenmolekylerna. Det finns många system tillgängliga i litteraturen, men de flesta av dem opererar i UV-regionen. Huvudmålet här är att finna ett system som absorberar hela skalan av synligt ljus så att man på ett mycket effektivt sätt att omvandla solenergi till kemisk energi. Varför solenergi? Bland den mängd olika återvinningsbara energikällor så är solen den absolut största. På en timme träffar cirka 4.3*10^20 J solljus jorden. Det är mer än all energi som för närvarande produceras på jorden på ett år. Just därför skulle solen vara en ypperlig energikälla för att producera vår energibärande vätgas som skulle fungera som ett syntetiskt bränsle.

Lagring : Att lagra väte i form av gas kräver väldigt högt tryck och medför tunga behållare och stora säkerhetsrisker. Om vätet kyls ner till låga temperaturer kan det lagras i vätskeform, men detta medför stora kostnader och kräver tung utrustning. Ett tredje alternativ är att lagra vätet inuti fasta material. I dagens läge finns såkallade metallhydrider som kan lagra stora mängder väte per volymenhet. Säkerhetsaspekten hos dessa material är också mycket bra. I de material där vätet reversibelt kan lagras är dock är väteinnehållet per viktenhet ännu för lågt. För att kunna höja väteinnehållet per viktenhet måste vikten hos metallerna som vätet binds i sänkas. Därför är grundämnen som Li, B, N, C, Na och Mg intressanta som material att lagra väte i. Tyvärr binder dessa material vätet med starka bindningar vilket gör att temperaturerna som behövs för att frigöra vätet är för höga. Vätelagringsegenskaperna kan förändras med hjälp av katalysatorer och blandning av olika material för att få fram nya egenskaper. Även strukturen, till exempel fasta material med liten yta eller små partiklar med stor yta, kan förändra egenskaperna hos ett material. I högytematerial, som till exempel MOF (metal-organic frameworks), är inte problemet som hos metallhydriderna att vätet binds för starkt utan istället binds vätet för svagt. Detta gör att det krävs låga temperaturer för att materialet skall kunna behålla vätet. I det här fallet behöver det istället utvecklas sätt för att stärka bindningarna mellan vätet och lagringsmaterialet, för att höja temperaturen vid vilken vätet kan lagras. Förbrukning : På anoden i en bränslecell delas vätemolekylen upp i protoner och elektroner med hjälp av Pt nanopartiklar, som fungerar som katalysatorer.

I högytematerial, som till exempel MOF (metal-organic frameworks), är inte problemet som hos metallhydriderna att vätet binds för starkt utan istället binds vätet för svagt. Detta gör att det krävs låga temperaturer för att materialet skall kunna behålla vätet. I det här fallet behöver det istället utvecklas sätt för att stärka bindningarna mellan vätet och lagringsmaterialet, för att höja temperaturen vid vilken vätet kan lagras. Förbrukning : På anoden i en bränslecell delas vätemolekylen upp i protoner och elektroner med hjälp av Pt nanopartiklar, som fungerar som katalysatorer. Protonerna diffunderar genom den fasta elektrolyten samtidigt som elektronerna leds genom en extern krets vilk Sweden Uppsala universitet The Swedish Research Council Uppsala universitet Gender Equality Aid to Environment Participatory Development/Good Governance Trade Development Aid Targeting the Objectives of the Convention on Biological Diversity Aid Targeting the Objectives of the Framework Convention on Climate Change - Mitigation Aid Targeting the Objectives of the Framework Convention on Climate Change - Adaptation Aid Targeting the Objectives of the Convention to Combat Desertification Reproductive, Maternal, Newborn and Child Health (RMNCH) Disaster Risk Reduction(DRR) Disability 281000 225000 245000 751000 Uppsala universitet 281000 Uppsala universitet 225000 Uppsala universitet 245000 Uppsala universitet SE-0-SE-29-2013-6671 Sweden This joint project between Linköping University and The Catholic University of Eastern Africa has two aims. The first aim is to develop mutually beneficial research collaborations on the interaction between traditions of lifelong learning in Scandinavia and Eastern Africa. The collaboration in this respect aims at developing joint research projects examining the extensive interaction between these two parts of the world over the last 50 years. The second aim of the project is to develop the infrastructure on a regional level regarding collaboration between researchers on adult education and lifelong in Eastern Africa. In more concrete terms, this will mean developing an Eastern African organization similar to the European Association for Research on the Education of Adults (ESREA) and initiating an African peer-review journal on adult and lifelong learning. The usefulness of establishing such an organization is that it could strengthen the position of research on adult education on the African continent, and thus make it more visible and accessible on a global arena which would benefit the international research community. Adult education is regarded as one of the key factors for social, economical and political education in many parts of Africa, and a well-developed adult education research community on the continent is a necessity to gain insight for planning both national policies and international aid project related to the adult education and lifelong learning. Detta projekt, som är ett samarbete mellan Linköpings universitet och Catholic University of Eastern Africa, har två mål. Det första målet är att utveckla ett ömsesidigt fördelaktigt forskningssamarbete med fokus på samspelet mellan traditioner av livslångt lärande i Norden och östra Afrika. Samarbetet inom detta område syftar till att utveckla gemensamma forskningsprojekt som undersöker det omfattande samspelet mellan dessa två delar av världen under de senaste 50 åren, inte minst genom försöka att sprida svenska folkbildningsidéer till östra Afrika. Det andra syftet med projektet är att utveckla infrastrukturen på regional nivå när det gäller samarbete mellan forskare om vuxenutbildning och livslångt i östra Afrika. Mer konkret innebär detta att utveckla en östafrikansk organisation liknande den europeiska organisationen för forskning om utbildning av vuxna (ESREA) och initiera en afrikansk en peer-review tidskrift om vuxenutbildning och livslångt lärande.

In particular, we will focus on bioactive peptides with anti-microbial and anti-cancer/cytotoxic properties. The specific aims are to: 1. Identify and collect plants used in the Ayurvedic medicinal system, through a literature and fied survey. 2. Chemically characterize plant extracts, using chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry and NMR. 3. Biologically evaluate crude aqueous and lipophilic plant extracts for their anti-microbial, anti-cancer and cytotoxic activities. 4. Gain insights into biosynthesis of specific peptides by analyzing the genetic arrangement of bioactive peptides and their processing enzymes. The complementary expertise between the participating groups gives the project an unique research profile: Both high molecular weight (eg. peptides) and low molecular weight natural products will be studied for their structure activity relationships.

Ungefär hälften av alla läkemedelsubstanser som vi använder idag har sitt ursprung i naturen.

I det här projektet vill vi ta vara på just den sortens kunnande, närmare bestämt från den rika och mångtusenåriga Ayurvedisk traditionella medicinen på Sri Lanka, och låta dessa naturprodukter genomgå kemiska och molekylärbiologiska tester för att finna nya läkemedelsubstanser. I projektet kommer vi att identifiera och samla in växter som används inom den traditionella medicinen riktat mot infektionssjukdomar och cancer. Vi kommer att testa deras effekt mot mikroorganismer och cancerceller, och använda dessa tester för att hitta den aktiva substansen och karakterisera dess kemiska struktur och verkningsmekanism.

These molecules have wide application in pharmaceutical, cosmetic and food industry and agriculture.

Production of biosurfactants by fermentation has the additional advantage of using renewable resources, such as agricultural waste.

Sensor nodes are usually battery-driven, and the main energy consumer is the radio. SICS has recently developed a directional antenna (SPIDA) whose direction can be controlled via software and that, in contrast to other similar antennas, fits well with existing sensor nodes. Our earlier simulation results show that using these antennas we can halve energy consumption while achieving higher packet delivery rates compared to omni-directional antennas. The major gain stems from avoiding packet collisions. We see potential to further reduce the energy consumption and packet loss.

Trådlösa sensornätverk består av små inbyggda system, utrustade med sensorer, som kommunicerar via radio (sensornoder, hädanefter). De kan användas för att övervaka till exempel känsliga utomhusmiljöer, eller för övervakning och styrning inom industrin. De många användningsområdena och den låga kostnaden gör att sensornätverk är intressanta för utvecklingsländer. Sensornoderna är ofta batteridrivna med radion som den största energiförbrukaren. Martin Nilsson på SICS har nyligen utvecklat en riktbar antenn, SPIDA, som kan kontrolleras via mjukvara. Den är till skillnad från liknande antenner redan anpassad till existerande sensornoder. Tidigare resultat baserad på simulering visar att med dessa antenner kan energiförbrukningen reduceras drastiskt, samtidigt som dataförlusterna via radion minskar jämfört med icke-riktade antenner. Den största besparingen kommer av att de riktade antennerna minskar antalet kollisioner i radiotrafiken när flera sensornoder samtidigt använder radio. Vi ser en god potential att fortsätta minska energiförbrukningen och mängden radiokollisioner med hjälp av SPIDA. Energiförbrukningen kan minskas ytterligare när man också styr mottagarens antenn och inte bara sändarens. Detta gör också mottagaren mera robust mot radiostörningar från andra enheter som använder samma frekvensband. Dessutom tror vi att man kan skapa parallella dataströmmar vilket inte skulle vara möjligt om man riktade bara sändaren eller mottagarens antenn. I detta fall skulle man nämligen få kollisioner som förstör datapaketen. Parallella dataströmmar är intressanta för tillämpningar där man vill skicka mycket data under en kort tid. De flesta forskare har inte använt riktiga antennar utan gjort simuleringar baserade på förenklade antennmodeller. Detta gör det oklart om deras resultat håller i verkligheten. Vi baserar våra modeller på mätdata från riktiga antenner vilket medför att våra simuleringsresultat ligger närmare det vi kan åstadkomma i verkligheten.

The theoretical studies will be intimately connected to in-house experiments carried out in Uppsala from the point of view of spectroscopy and defect induced changes in the structures and transport properties. In our constellation, the participation of researchers of various expertise in ab initio theory, molecular dynamics, magnetism and spectroscopy will be extremely valuable in the understanding of the properties of these 2D materials. The present proposal is very significant to diversify the scope of scientific research and training of young researchers by establishing collaboration with the research group in Tribhuvan University in Nepal. The project will be carried out by means of collaborative visits, training of young students by arranging schools and workshops, joint scientific publications and organization of international conferences in both countries. Kol är ett unikt grundämne i periodiska systemet, kanske det viktigaste grundämnet för existensen av liv. Sedan urminnes tider har olika former av kol varit kända och använts i det dagliga livet. Den mjuka silvergrå formen av rent kol som finns i vanliga pennor består av tunna blad av kolatomer som är sammanbundna. När dessa blad separeras, får man tvådimensionella filmer av kol, med endast en atoms tjocklek, detta är grafen. Grafen representerar en ny klass av material vars lågdimensionella egenskaper har mycket spännande fysik. Dess ledningsegenskaper indikerar att nya kraftfulla elektriska apparater finns inom räckhåll. Bara det faktum att grafen finns som en perfekt tvådimensionell kristall utmanar våra tidigare fundamentala insikter om att kristaller med ordning över långa avstånd inte kan finnas i två dimensioner. Sammanfattningsvis är grafen en ledstjärna för dagens materialveteskap och teknologi. Vikten av grafen har uppmärksammats genom att tilldela Nobelpriset i fysik 2010 till Andrei Geim och Kostya Novoselov for dess upptäckt. Inspirerade av grafen har mycket forksning lagts på att hitta andra 2D material. Det här projektet behandlar inte bara grafen, utan även andra 2D material, som t.ex. 2D hexagonal bornitrid, silicene (en form av 2D kisel) eller germanen i kristallin eller amorf struktur. För ökat vetande samt möjligheten att utveckla ny teknologi krävs kunskaper om materialens egenskaper både från ett teoretiskt och experimentellt perspektiv. De exotiska egenskaper hos grafen är en stor utmaning för materialvetenskapen. Vi ämnar här studera några av dessa komplexa egenskaperna med hjälp av datorsimuleringar. Materialteoretiska beräkningar spelar idag en central roll för att föra dagens teknologi framåt. State-of-the-art beräkningsmodeller tillsammans med stor datorkraft har idag möjliggjort att vi kan få förståelse av materialegenskaper på en mikroskopisk skala. Dessa verktyg kommer att användas till att studera stabiliteten hos 2D ytor, magnetisk växelverkan mellan metall adatomer på ytorna samt transportegenskaper hos amorfa 2D strukturer och möjligheten att använda grafen som som ett effektivt energi material för framtida miljövänlig teknologi. Simuleringarna kommer att genomföras med hjälp av densitetsfunktionalteori (DFT), ett teoretisk verktyg för vilket Walter Kohn fick Nobelpriset i kemi 1998. DFT används idag rutinmässigt för att analysera samt förutspå materialegenskaper inom fysik, kemi samt biologi. Med hjälp av DFT baserade metoder kommer vi öka förståelsen för olika nya 2D material. Vid sidan av DFT kommer vi använda klassisk molekyldynamik för att studera amorfa strukturer, för vilka vi sedan beräknar transportegenskaperna. Studierna kommer ge värdefulla insikter vilka sedan kan användas i nya spännande tillämpningar.

The theoretical studies will be intimately connected to in-house experiments carried out in Uppsala from the point of view of spectroscopy and defect induced changes in the structures and transport properties. In our constellation, the participation of researchers of various expertise in ab initio theory, molecular dynamics, magnetism and spectroscopy will be extremely valuable in the understanding of the properties of these 2D materials. The present proposal is very significant to diversify the scope of scientific research and training of young researchers by establishing collaboration with the research group in Tribhuvan University in Nepal. The project will be carried out by means of collaborative visits, training of young students by arranging schools and workshops, joint scientific publications and organization of international conferences in both countries. Kol är ett unikt grundämne i periodiska systemet, kanske det viktigaste grundämnet för existensen av liv. Sedan urminnes tider har olika former av kol varit kända och använts i det dagliga livet. Den mjuka silvergrå formen av rent kol som finns i vanliga pennor består av tunna blad av kolatomer som är sammanbundna. När dessa blad separeras, får man tvådimensionella filmer av kol, med endast en atoms tjocklek, detta är grafen. Grafen representerar en ny klass av material vars lågdimensionella egenskaper har mycket spännande fysik. Dess ledningsegenskaper indikerar att nya kraftfulla elektriska apparater finns inom räckhåll.

Utveckling av frekvensupplöst diffust optiskt spektroskopisystem för optisk mammografi Bröstcancer är en ledande orsak till cancerrelaterad dödlighet bland kvinnor i hela världen. För närvarande är Röntgenavbildning, magnetisk resonanstomografi (MRT), ultraljud och radioisotopavbildning tekniker som rutinmässigt används för diagnostik av cancer. Alla dessa lider av begränsningar i användbarhet. Röntgen-baserade tekniker används i många länder för screening av bröstcancer, men kan för vissa patienter ge svårtolkade resultat, vilket tar ned känslighet och specificitet i diagnostiken. Dessutom, kan röntgenstrålningen i sig orsaka biverkningar på grund av sin joniserande natur. Röntgenbaserade tekniker är inte heller kapabla att skilja mellan godartade och elakartade tumörer. På samma sätt har radioisotopavbildning (t.ex. PET (?Positron emission tomography?) och SPECT (?Single Photon emission computer tomography?)) begränsade tillämpningar för bröstcancerdiagnostik då ett radioaktivt kontrastmedel,som kan ha sidoeffekter,krävs. Ultraljud å sin sida saknar upplösningen att upptäcka föremål mindre än några millimetrar. Den teknik som erbjuder såväl submilimeter upplösning som förmåga att detektera specifika kemiska ämnen i kroppen är MRT. Denna teknik kräveremellertid supraledande magneter vilket gör den mycket dyr. Mot denna bakgrund är det intressant att utveckla en avbildande teknik som är icke invasiv, säker, billig, kompakt och kan övervaka vävnadskemiska förhållanden in vivo, företrädesvis i realtid. Optiska diagnostiska metoder är icke-invasiva, ofarliga och kostnadseffektiva, och är därför potentiellt intressanta för medicinsk diagnostik av cancer för världsomspännande populationer. Optisk mammografi syftar till att upptäcka onormal bröstvävnad och att diskriminera mellan malign och godartad vävnad, baserat på skillnader i optiska egenskaper mellan patologiska lesioner och frisk vävnad. De optiska absorptionsegenskaperna kan ge information om vävnadssammansättning och besläktade fysiologiska parametrar (som blodets syresättning), medan ljusspridningen beror på den mikroskopiska strukturen av vävnad, och kan ge information om dess densitet. Optisk mammografi kandärför betraktas som en icke-invasiv funktionell medicinsk avbildningsmodalitet, med vilket syftet är att erhålla tredimensionella bilder av vävnaden i det infraröda (NIR) eller synligt röda våglängdsområdet. Absorptionen vid olika våglängder är av särskilt intresse, då denstarktberor på koncentrationen av syresatt och icke-syresatt hemoglobin (HbO2 och Hb). Förändringarna i syresatt och syrefattigt hemoglobin kan vara en viktig information som kan hjälpa till att diagnostisera friska och maligna vävnader. Tids- och frekvens-upplöst diffus optisk spektroskopi har redan utvecklats för diagnostik av vävnad. Dessa tekniker kräver fortfarande förbättringar i fråga om precision och robusthet för såväl mätinstrument som algoritmer. Det nu föreslagna projektet syftar till att utveckla system för optisk mammografi som kombinerar frekvens-domän (FD) signaler och mätning av reflekterat kontinuerligt vitljus.

Key sections in Fyledalen, Skåne will be compared with successions from the Azov sea area in Ukraine. The targeted time interval comprises the Mesozoic (200-66 mya), more specifically aiming to correlate the Jurassic and Cretaceous successions based on pollen analysis, with the final aims to produce paleoenvironmental and paleoclimatological interpretations with implications for biodiversity. A fundamental component in the project is to produce a common taxonomical nomenclature, making it possible for Eastern and Western European palynologist to work together, and to be able to compare and correlate data and successions. The long time-perspective aim of this proposal is to enhance the knowledge within a relatively broad field of Earth-sciences. The prime target for this competence lift is the inclusion of key-scientists, representing different age, gender and stages in carrier in order to secure long term knowledge-transfer. This will be achieved by our workshop program, to be held both in Sweden and in Ukraine. The topics for the workshops will be the high quality science training for students at master and PhD level, involving different competence areas, such as application writing, project managing, planning and running conferences/workshop, setting the foundation for future collaborations. Detta projekt syftar till att sammanlänka geologisk kunskap om sediment av mesozoisk ålder (200 - 66 miljoner år) i Sverige och Ukraina. Sediment av jurassisk ålder i Fyledalen i Skåne kommer att jämföras med likåldriga sediment vid Azovskasjön (bihav till Svarta havet) i Ukraina. Materialet från Ukraina representeras av borrkärnematerial, där 45 borrkärnor nyss tagits upp och där forskare får tillgång till åtminstone fem av dessa. Borrkärnorna rymmer ett imponerande tidsintervall och omfattar både jura samt krita, ända upp till lagerföljden som representerar massutdöendet som inträffade för 66 miljoner år sedan. Genom att studera de fossila pollenflororna (palynologi), de marina mikrofossilen samt sedimenten kommer vi att kunna sammanlänka (korrelera) lagerföljder av samma tidsålder i de olika områdena (Sverige/ Ukraina). Syftet är att utföra paleo-miljötolkningar, dvs. klargöra hur ekosystemen, miljön och klimatet såg ut för 200 ? 66 miljoner år sedan då jorden under vissa intervall hade perioder av växthusklimat. En mycket viktig komponent i hela projektet är att ta fram en gemensam taxonomisk nomenklatur, dvs. artbestämingar vilka skulle göra det möjligt för öst- och västeuropeiska palynologer att samarbeta och jämföra data. Som det är nu så har forskare i det forna Sovjetunionen till stor del upprättat en egen nomenklatur, vilket helt enkelt betyder t.ex. att samma art/släkte av pollen eller sporer har olika artnamn i Väst- och Östeuropa. Huvudsökanden Vivi Vajda (Sverige) och Olena Shevchuk (Ukraina) är båda rutinerade palynologer och har fokuserat sin forskning på mesozoiska lagerföljder. Vajda har främst arbetat med miljötolkningar och mass-utdöede event medan Shevchuk främst arbetat med datering av lagerföljder inom tillämpad geologi så som olje och gasprospektering. Vajda har förutom vetenskapliga frågor, ägnat sig åt styrelseuppdrag inom geo-relaterade vetenskapliga program under UNESCO, något som givit henne kompetens i internationella relationer. Projektet skulle innebära stora fördelar för båda länderna, då Ukrainska geologer skulle få en öppen dörr till samarbete med väst, få tillgång till instrument och analysmetoder vid Lunds Universitet samt inkluderas i ett större internationellt nätverk av geologer. Sveriges vinst är att vi får tillgång till geologikst svåråtkomliga lokaler och samarbeta på material som vi annars inte haft tillgång till. I Sverige är Vajda för närvarande den enda palynologen som arbetar med mesozoiska lagerföljder och ett samarbete med en större grupp specialister skulle gynna båda grupperna. Slutligen är syftet med projektet att öka kunskapen inom ett relativt brett område inom geovetenskap. Detta ska uppnås genom vårt planerade workshopprogram, som kommer att hållas både i Sverige och i Ukraina. Ämnena för seminarierna kommer naturligtvis fokusera kring forskningsuppgiften men kommer dessutom att omfatta vetenskaplig utbildning av hög kvalitet för studenter på master- och doktorandnivå och omfatta olika kompetensområden, såsom att lära sig göra skriftliga ansökningar, lära sig projektledning, planering och att anordna konferenser /workshops. Detta kommer även att lägga grunden för fortsatt samarbete.

Drug resistance is a growing problem in medicine world-wide and understanding of the molecular evolution of enzymes that inactivate drugs is important to the design of more effective drugs and to improved therapeutic regimes. Our ongoing project is primarily focused on multidrug resistance in bacteria and evolution of ß-lactamase activity inactivating antibiotics. In one mode Salmonella bacteria are subjected to alternative ß-lactam antibiotics for selection of clones expressing enzyme mutants that provide resistance. In a second and parallel mode computational studies will predict the optimal enzyme structure for inactivation of a given antibiotic. The predicted structure will be expressed from a synthetic gene. In both cases the starting point is the same designed recombinant metallo-ß-lactamase mimic. Comparison of the outcome of experimental resistance evolution in bacteria with the predicted optimal enzyme structure will reveal if alternative potent enzymes can evolve, and if the phenotype resulting from bacterial selection is only a mild version in comparison with the calculated optimal solution. GSTs offer a second system for studies relevant to anti-cancer drug resistance. In this paradigm gain of activity against alkylators and loss of sensitivity to enzyme inhibitors will be studied based on the Resistens mot läkemedel är ett stort och växande problem inom den globala sjukvården. Resistens som uppkommer vid behandling av patienter kan göra läkemedel verkningslösa. Vissa sjukdomar kan redan initialt vara svårbehandlade på grund av en ursprunglig läkemedelsresistens, medan behandling av andra ger upphov till resistens genom en kombination av mutationsframkallande processer och urval av mutanter av celler eller molekyler som bär resistensegenskaperna. I detta forskningsprojekt studeras resistens som orsakas av att läkemedel bryts ned av enzymer. Detta är fallet vid behandling av infektionssjukdomar med antibiotika. Vi studerar ett enzym som ursprungligen saknar förmågan att bryta ned aktuella läkemedel, men som genom strukturella förändringar förvärvat denna egenskap. Vi kommer nu att undersöka hur genen för det inaktiva proteinet kan muteras och ge upphov till resistens hos bakterier. Ett rekombinantenzym från människa med viss strukturell likhet till bakteriella ß-laktamaser som bryter ned penicillin och liknande läkemedelsmolekyler muteras med biokemisk metodik så att nya enzymer med förändrade egenskaper bildas. Enzymvarianterna testas i salmonellabakterier som odlas i närvaro av olika ß-laktamantibiotika. Bakterier som växer i närvaro av höga koncentrationer av antibiotika isoleras och sambandet med ökad enzymaktivitet valideras. Liknande försök har tidigare utförts av andra forskare. Det nya konceptet är att parallellt utsätta enzymvarianterna i bakterier för ett tiotal olika kliniskt relevanta antibiotika. Arbetshypotesen är att det bildas en eller flera typer av nya muterade enzymer, som ger bakterierna överlevnadsvärde i närvaro av alternativa antibiotika. De identifierade enzymerna kommer att renframställas för strukturell och funktionell karakterisering på molekylär nivå. Vi kan på så vis finna betingelser för uppkomst av korsresistens mot olika läkemedel orsakad av mutationer i ett enzym. Resultaten från vårt modellsystem kommer att ge kunskap om grundläggande principer för uppkomst av enzymbaserad resistens mot alternativa läkemedel. Resistens kan uppstå samtidigt mot vissa antibiotika men inte mot alla. Denna information är värdefull för design av nya läkemedel som inte ger upphov till korsresistens. Resultaten kan vidare generaliseras för utveckling av individbaserad behandling, baserad på val av läkemedel efter analys av målenzymet i den aktuella patienten.

In this paradigm gain of activity against alkylators and loss of sensitivity to enzyme inhibitors will be studied based on the Resistens mot läkemedel är ett stort och växande problem inom den globala sjukvården. Resistens som uppkommer vid behandling av patienter kan göra läkemedel verkningslösa. Vissa sjukdomar kan redan initialt vara svårbehandlade på grund av en ursprunglig läkemedelsresistens, medan behandling av andra ger upphov till resistens genom en kombination av mutationsframkallande processer och urval av mutanter av celler eller molekyler som bär resistensegenskaperna. I detta forskningsprojekt studeras resistens som orsakas av att läkemedel bryts ned av enzymer. Detta är fallet vid behandling av infektionssjukdomar med antibiotika. Vi studerar ett enzym som ursprungligen saknar förmågan att bryta ned aktuella läkemedel, men som genom strukturella förändringar förvärvat denna egenskap. Vi kommer nu att undersöka hur genen för det inaktiva proteinet kan muteras och ge upphov till resistens hos bakterier. Ett rekombinantenzym från människa med viss strukturell likhet till bakteriella ß-laktamaser som bryter ned penicillin och liknande läkemedelsmolekyler muteras med biokemisk metodik så att nya enzymer med förändrade egenskaper bildas. Enzymvarianterna testas i salmonellabakterier som odlas i närvaro av olika ß-laktamantibiotika. Bakterier som växer i närvaro av höga koncentrationer av antibiotika isoleras och sambandet med ökad enzymaktivitet valideras. Liknande försök har tidigare utförts av andra forskare. Det nya konceptet är att parallellt utsätta enzymvarianterna i bakterier för ett tiotal olika kliniskt relevanta antibiotika. Arbetshypotesen är att det bildas en eller flera typer av nya muterade enzymer, som ger bakterierna överlevnadsvärde i närvaro av alternativa antibiotika. De identifierade enzymerna kommer att renframställas för strukturell och funktionell karakterisering på molekylär nivå. Vi kan på så vis finna betingelser för uppkomst av korsresistens mot olika läkemedel orsakad av mutationer i ett enzym. Resultaten från vårt modellsystem kommer att ge kunskap om grundläggande principer för uppkomst av enzymbaserad resistens mot alternativa läkemedel. Resistens kan uppstå samtidigt mot vissa antibiotika men inte mot alla. Denna information är värdefull för design av nya läkemedel som inte ger upphov till korsresistens. Resultaten kan vidare generaliseras för utveckling av individbaserad behandling, baserad på val av läkemedel efter analys av målenzymet i den aktuella patienten.

We will study the role of SOCS3 and STAT3 underlying the progression from latent to active disease in patients with tuberculosis (TB) by studying systemic responses in peripheral blood and in situ responses in lesions from different anatomical sites using biopsy specimens. A novel imaging technique using padlock amplification for the in situ detection of multiple transcripts will be employed to characterize the immunobiology and the role of SOCS3 in granuloma formation and maintenance. Diabete predisposes individuals to TB. We shall investigate the role of SOCS3 in the progression from latent to active TB in individuals with or without diabetes. We will perform studies to define the immune mechanisms that SOCS3 modulates in non-hematopoietic, lymphoid and myeloid cells to confer protection against M. tuberculosis infection in mice. In vivo and in vitro experiments using different genetically modified mouse strains lacking SOCS3 in different cell populations will be used for this purpose. We will also determine whether SOCS3-regulated insulin responses affect the susceptibility of mice to infection with M. tuberculosis. Whether a pharmacological inhibition of STAT3, mimicking SOCS3 function, may improve the outcome of infection with M. tuberculosis will be tested. Tuberkulos (TBC) är en allvarlig infektionssjukdom som orsakas av den intracellulära bakterien Mycobacterium tuberculosis. En tredjedel av världens? befolkningen är infekterad med M. tuberculosis och nya infektioner sker i en takt av en människa per sekund. TBC är särskilt vanlig i utvecklingsländerna och Pakistan rankas som det 8: e landet när det gäller infektion och sjukdom. Antalet anmälda fall ökar varje år och resistens mot antibiotika är vanlig. Bara ungefär en av tio av de M. tuberculosis-infekterade individerna utvecklar TBC. M. tuberculosis angriper vanligen lungorna men kan också påverka andra organ. I resten av de infekterade individerna, kvarstår infektionen i en asymtomatisk form. Kontrollen av dessa asymptomatiska kroniska infektioner beror på samspelet mellan immunsystemet och bakterierna. Det är dock inte helt klart varför vissa individer kommer att utveckla en livshotande sjukdom medan andra hamnar i en livslång asymtomatisk infektion. Sådan kunskap är central för utvecklingen av vaccin och terapi. De vacciner som finns för närvarande mot TBC är ineffektiva. Eftersom mykobakterier är intracellulära, immuniteten bygger på cell-medierade immunsvar som kan aktivera bakteriedödande mekanismer av infekterade celler. Sådana svar regleras av hormon-liknande faktorer som kallas cytokiner. Typisk cytokinaktivitet kännetecknas av mycket snabb induktion, hög lokal koncentration och en kort halveringstid. När vissa cytokiner är närvarande, kommer de infekterade cellerna att uttrycka en mångfald proteiner som medverkar till produktion av mycket giftiga molekyler, som kan döda bakterier. Dessa cytokin-medierade mekanismer måste kontrolleras noggrant eftersom de annars också kan vara giftiga för värdcellerna, vilket ger upphov till en inflammatorisk sjukdom. Således är en optimal cytokin nivå, den som leder till bakteriell kontroll utan att orsaka skador på värdcellen, centralt för att behålla latens utan att utlösa sjukdomen. ?Suppressor av cytokin signalering? (SOCS) är en familj av proteiner som namnet antyder, hämmar svaren från celler till cytokiner. I Stockholm kommer vi att undersöka om SOCS3 (en av 8 familje medlemmar) kan vara involverad i en förbättrad utrotning av bakterierna, och kan också gynna värden genom att hindra allvarlig inflammation. Data från vårt laboratorium visar att SOCS3 skyddar möss mot TBC. Vi planerar nu att studera mekanismerna bakom denna observation. För att göra detta, kommer vi att använda möss som är genetiskt manipulerade så att de inte uttrycker SOCS3 i olika immunceller. Vi kommer att jämföra resultaten av infektion av dessa möss med dem som uttrycker SOCS3. Vi kommer också att utvärdera effekten av användning av läkemedel som reglerar SOCS3 eller STAT3 i infektionen med Mycobacterium tuberculosis i möss. Den Pakistanska partnern kommer att mäta SOCS3 nivåer i leukocyter från patienter med latent TBC, eller med lunginfektion TBC och icke pulmonär aktiv TBC, för att avgöra om dessa molekyler kan vara involverade i att avgöra känslighet för sjukdomen. De kommer också att mäta nivåerna av SOCS3 hos patienter före och efter behandling med antibiotika mot TBC. Dessutom, kommer de att avgöra om läkemedel som reglerar SOCS3 kan modifiera cytokin svaren hos patientens leukocyter in vitro så att de liknar de av asymptomatiska latenta infekterade individer. Vi kommer att använda en ny bildteknik för att studera granulom, en komplicerad cellstruktur som kännetecknar TBC, från kirurgiska biopsier från patienter samt från infekterade möss.

They are of major relevance in the development of new drugs, such as antibiotics, particularly in the face of the global challenge of multi-drug resistance in microbial pathogens. The World Health Organisation (WHO) identified antibiotic resistance as ?one of the three greatest threats to human health? and warned that the world is in danger of entering a ?post-antibiotic era?, in which no chemotherapeutic agents will be available for treating infectious disease. An excellent opportunity to discover the potential of novel natural products is provided by marine environments, since the diversity of these huge microbial populations is largely unexplored. Actinobacteria represent the most prominent taxon of microorganisms for the production of bioactive compounds, notably antibiotics and antitumor agents and many bioactive natural products for direct health-related application have been isolated from marine Actinobacteria derived from sea sediments. The research project is a multi-disciplinary collaboration between the Universidad Técnica Federico Santa Maria (www.utfsm.cl) in Valpariso, Chile, the Culture Collection University of Gothenburg (CCUG; www.ccug.se) at the Sahlgrenska Academy of the University of Gothenburg and a Small-to Medium-Sized Enterprise (SME), Nanoxis AB (www.nanoxis.com). Bioaktiva substanser är alltmer efterfrågade i bioteknologiska applikationer. De är mycket relevanta i utvecklingen av nya läkemedel, såsom antibiotika, särskilt i dessa tider när multiresistenta sjukdomsframkallande bakterier snabbt har blivit ett globalt problem. Världshälsoorganisationen WHO har identifierat antibiotikaresistens som ?ett av de tre största hoten mot mänsklig hälsa? och varnat för att världen är i fara att gå in i en ?post-antibiotika? era, där inga kemoterapeutiska ämnen kommer att användas för att behandla en smittsam sjukdom. En utmärkt möjlighet att upptäcka potentialen av nya naturprodukter finns i marina miljöer, eftersom artrikedomen av dessa enorma mikrobiella samhällena i stort är outforskad. Actinobacterier representerar en av de mest vanliga klasser av mikroorganismer som producerar bioaktiva substanser, av särskilt intresse antibiotika och antitumörsubstanser. Många bioaktiva naturprodukter som har en direkt användning inom hälsorelaterade områden har isolerats from marina Actinobakterier från marina sediment. Ett stort antal av bioaktiva substanser som producerats av bakterier tillhör gruppen polyketider, icke-ribosomala peptider eller en kombination av de båda. Polyketider och icke-ribosomala peptider är en stor grupp av strukturellt diversa naturliga produkter vilka bildas av polyketid-syntaser (PKS) och icke-ribosomala peptid-syntaser (NRPS) i mikroorganismer. Forskningsprojektet är ett multidisciplinärt samarbete mellan Universidad Técnica Federico Santa Maria (www.utfsm.cl) i Valpariso, Chile, Culture Collection University of Gothenburg (CCUG; www.ccug.se) vid Sahlgrenska Akademien, Göteborgs Universitet och ett Göteborgs-baserat företag, Nanoxis Consulting AB (Small-Medium-sized Enterprise, SME; www.nanoxisconsulting.com). Bakterier från klassen Actinobakterier kommer att isoleras från marina sediment utanför Chiles kust, för att utvärdera graden av artrikedom av dessa bakterier och stammar som bär gener som kodar för polyketid-syntaser (PKS) och icke-ribosomala peptid-syntaser (NRPS). Isolat som har dessa gener kommer att analyseras vidare för produktion av antimikrobiella bioaktiva substanser. Molekylär mikrobiologi kommer att användas för en utförlig bedömning av artrikedomen, samt för utvärdering av komplexiteten av generna som kodar för produktionen av antimikrobiella bioaktiva substanser. Målen med projektet är: 1) Isolera Actinobakterier från marina sediment utanför Chiles kust. 2) Identifiera bakteriella isolat, genom att använda masspektrometri och DNA-sekvensering. 3) Bestämma närvaron av gener som kodar för PKS och NRPS i isolerade stammar. 4) Karaktärisera biosyntetiska PKS- och NRPS-genkluster med hjälp av DNA-sekvensering. 5) Analysera isolat för nya bioaktiva föreningar med hjälp av masspektrometri. 6) Analysera dessa bioaktiva föreningars antimikrobiella aktivitet, genom att använda utvalda bakteriestammar som referens. Artrikedomen i ännu outforskade marina ekosystem är stor, och detta är nyckeln till framgång när man letar efter nya biologiskt aktiva substanser. Det primära målet med detta projekt är att detektera och karaktärisera biosyntes som sker via gener som kodar för PKS och NRPS från Actinobakterier, vars ursprung är marina miljöer från Juan Fernandez-öarna, belägen 670 km utanför Valparaisos kust, samt Punta de Choros-bukten i Coquimbo-regionen, 120 km från närmsta samhälle. Marina sediment kommer att tas från dessa chilenska kustregioner i syfte att isolera marina Actinobakterier. Isolat kommer att identiferas och karaktäriseras, genom att använda verktyg inom molekylärbiologin, såsom MALDI-TOF-MS och DNA-sekvensering. Förekomsten av gener som kodar för PKS och NRPS i isolerade stammar kommer att analyseras och dessa isolat kommer att analyseras vidare med hjälp av masspektrometri-baserad proteomik, i syfte att hitta produktion av nya bioaktiva substanser.

They are of major relevance in the development of new drugs, such as antibiotics, particularly in the face of the global challenge of multi-drug resistance in microbial pathogens. The World Health Organisation (WHO) identified antibiotic resistance as ?one of the three greatest threats to human health? and warned that the world is in danger of entering a ?post-antibiotic era?, in which no chemotherapeutic agents will be available for treating infectious disease. An excellent opportunity to discover the potential of novel natural products is provided by marine environments, since the diversity of these huge microbial populations is largely unexplored. Actinobacteria represent the most prominent taxon of microorganisms for the production of bioactive compounds, notably antibiotics and antitumor agents and many bioactive natural products for direct health-related application have been isolated from marine Actinobacteria derived from sea sediments. The research project is a multi-disciplinary collaboration between the Universidad Técnica Federico Santa Maria (www.utfsm.cl) in Valpariso, Chile, the Culture Collection University of Gothenburg (CCUG; www.ccug.se) at the Sahlgrenska Academy of the University of Gothenburg and a Small-to Medium-Sized Enterprise (SME), Nanoxis AB (www.nanoxis.com). Bioaktiva substanser är alltmer efterfrågade i bioteknologiska applikationer. De är mycket relevanta i utvecklingen av nya läkemedel, såsom antibiotika, särskilt i dessa tider när multiresistenta sjukdomsframkallande bakterier snabbt har blivit ett globalt problem. Världshälsoorganisationen WHO har identifierat antibiotikaresistens som ?ett av de tre största hoten mot mänsklig hälsa? och varnat för att världen är i fara att gå in i en ?post-antibiotika? era, där inga kemoterapeutiska ämnen kommer att användas för att behandla en smittsam sjukdom. En utmärkt möjlighet att upptäcka potentialen av nya naturprodukter finns i marina miljöer, eftersom artrikedomen av dessa enorma mikrobiella samhällena i stort är outforskad. Actinobacterier representerar en av de mest vanliga klasser av mikroorganismer som producerar bioaktiva substanser, av särskilt intresse antibiotika och antitumörsubstanser. Många bioaktiva naturprodukter som har en direkt användning inom hälsorelaterade områden har isolerats from marina Actinobakterier från marina sediment. Ett stort antal av bioaktiva substanser som producerats av bakterier tillhör gruppen polyketider, icke-ribosomala peptider eller en kombination av de båda. Polyketider och icke-ribosomala peptider är en stor grupp av strukturellt diversa naturliga produkter vilka bildas av polyketid-syntaser (PKS) och icke-ribosomala peptid-syntaser (NRPS) i mikroorganismer.

Globalization and global alterations in climate have exacerbated the transmission of disease between wildlife, humans, and domestic animals, and are of particular concern in high biodiversity regions such as Sri Lanka. Intensive wildlife management relies on field anesthesia to monitor population numbers, distribution and diseases, but safe and effective techniques for immobilization of wildlife in Sri Lanka are needed. The goals of the proposed project are to develop immobilization techniques for key species and detect emerging zoonotic diseases in these populations. An initial workshop will provide a venue to institute a detailed research plan and build capacity. This will be followed by in-field development of reversible immobilization protocols, and use of cutting edge technologies to evaluate physiological functions and prevent complications during immobilization. Biological samples will be collected for population health evaluation with emphasis on emerging zoonotic disease detection. Yearly workshops will provide for assessment and dissemination of results, and communicating measures for zoonoses prevention to local people. Exchanges and training opportunities between Sweden and Sri Lanka will further capacity development and ongoing research, and strengthen collaborative ties in both field anesthesia and emerging disease detection. Det vilda djurlivet är en viktig tillgång för människor i utvecklingsländer. I Sri Lanka är turismen en betydelsefull inkomstkälla och naturbaserad turism ökar starkt i landet. Sri Lanka har ett rikt djurliv och den biologiska mångfalden per landyta är betydligt större än i de flesta andra länder i Asien. För bevarande och förvaltning av viltpopulationer kan djur behöva hanteras för t.ex. förflyttning, forskning eller provtagning för sjukdomsövervakning. Hantering av vilda djur kräver ofta att djuren fångas in och immobiliseras (anestesi), vilket kan vara stressande och riskfyllt för djuren. På Sri Lanka hanteras årligen hundratals vilda djur såsom elefant, buffel, leopard, apor och hjortar. De lokala veterinärerna har begränsade resurser och bristande tillgång till skonsamma anestesimedel, vilket medför ökade risker för djuren de hanterar. Vilda djur kan vara reservoarer för zoonoser, d.v.s. sjukdomar eller smittämnen som kan spridas mellan djur och människor. Av humaninfektioner är 61% zoonoser. Utbrott av zoonotiska infektionssjukdomar kan påverka folkhälsa, livsmedelförsörjning och ekonomisk tillväxt, vilket kan leda till katastrofala följder i utvecklingsländer. Hög befolkningstäthet och nära kontakt mellan människor, boskap och vilda djur ökar risken för sjukdomsspridning. Kunskap om förekomsten av zoonotiska sjukdomar hos vilda djur på Sri Lanka är bristande. Det här forskningsprojektet inkluderar två viktiga aspekter som bidrar till bevarandet av hotade djurarter och bekämpning av smittsamma sjukdomar: 1) Förbättring av befintliga metoder och utveckling av nya skonsamma anestesiprotokoll för vilda djur på Sri Lanka, för att minska komplikationsrisker och dödlighet vid vilthantering. Det här bidrar också till ökad säkerhet för de människor som arbetar med hantering av vilda djur. 2) Ökad kunskap om diagnostik och sjukdomsövervakning av zoonotiska sjukdomar hos vilda djur på Sri Lanka. Då vilda djur hanteras och immobiliseras på Sri Lanka kommer prover tas för att undersöka förekomst av bakteriella och virala zoonoser. Effekterna av olika anestesimetoder kommer studeras genom att övervaka kroppstemperatur, andnings- och hjärtfrekvens och analysera blodprover avseende lungfunktionen och blodets syrabas-balans.

Rotavirus is the major cause for severe childhood diarrhea, thus rotavirus vaccines are an important preventive measure of diarrhea. Vaccine trials have, however, showed a reduced vaccine efficacy in many African countries. Burkina Faso is now about to implement vaccination nationwide and our research proposal is centered on this. By closely monitoring rotavirus before; during and after national immunization, we can investigate factors important for vaccine efficacy. A first objective is to establish RV surveillance logistics and techniques before vaccination. We have performed preliminary studies and found many unusual strains which could influence vaccine efficacy. The major objective is to determine the vaccine efficacy and relate this to evolving escape mutants and specific strains present in Burkina Faso. Our third scientific approach is most novel and based on preliminary data from Burkina Faso observing that children with the Lewis-negative phenotype, common in Burkina Faso, where not infected with vaccine-like strains, providing an explanation for reduced vaccine efficacy in Africa. The overall objective of this collaboration is increased knowledge and better techniques to study RV and factors important for successful vaccination; which will be done through regular workshops, lectures and scientific visits by researchers from Sweden and Burkina Faso. Vilka faktorer påverkar skyddet av rotavirusvaccination av barn i Burkina Faso? Akuta diarrésjukdomar är fortfarande ett av de främsta globala hälsoproblemen och orsakar nästan en femtedel av alla dödsfall bland yngre barn i utvecklingsländer. Rotavirus är den vanligaste orsaken till akut och allvarlig diarré hos barn och orsakar ca en halv miljon dödsfall per år. Eftersom förbättrad sanitet och hygien har begränsad effekt på sjukdomsspridning anses rotavirusvaccination vara det viktigaste sättet att minska dödligheten i hårt drabbade länder. Vaccinen rekommenderas av WHO och andra hälsoorganisationer men flera studier har visat på att vaccinen inte är lika effektiva i utvecklingsländer, framförallt i Afrika. Skälen till den låga effektiviteten är ännu inte fastställda men några anledningar kan vara undernäring, förekomst av andra sjukdomar, samt cirkulation av ovanliga rotavirusstammar mot vilka vaccinen inte skyddar. Burkina Faso, ett land i Västafrika med mycket hög barnadödlighet, planerar nu att införa rotavirusvaccination under senare delen av 2014. I detta projekt vill vi i nära samarbete Dr. Isidore Bonkoudougou vid nationella folkhälsoinstitutet i Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso på nära håll följa effekterna av vaccinationen. Genom dessa studier har vi en unik möjlighet att undersöka vilka faktorer som påverkar hur bra vaccinen fungerar. Vi kommer att i första skedet (projekt 1) etablera tekniker och metoder för att undersöka rotavirusförekomst och vilka stammar som cirkulerar i Burkina Faso innan vaccination börjar. Under och efter vaccinationen (projekt 2) kommer vi sedan undersöka effektiviten av vaccinet och om vaccinet skyddar mot de rotavirusstammar som finns i Burkina Faso. Vi kommer även med molekylärbiologiska tekniker övervaka om nya muterade rotavirus uppkommer mot vilket vaccinet inte skyddar. Slutligen har vi genom tidigare studier i Burkina Faso utvecklat en hypotes om att det finns genetiska faktorer hos en tredjedel av populationen som gör dem mindre mottagliga för vaccinet. Vi kommer således (projekt 3) undersöka om de barn som inte blir skyddade av vaccinen har denna genetiska faktor. Detta projekt är vetenskapligt helt nytt och kan leda till att nya och bättre vaccin utvecklas bättre anpassade för utsatta populationer. Genom att anordna workshops, seminarier samt föreläsningar ska metoder, teknik och kunskap överföras till samarbetspartners i Burkina Faso. Detta är speciellt viktigt i detta skede så att de nödvändiga vetenskapliga redskapen finns på plats innan vaccineringen börjar. Vårt övergripande mål är att genom kontinuerligt samarbete med forskare i Burkina Faso stärka kunskapsbasen inom virologi och vaccination med huvudfokus på rotavirus och andra diarrésjukdomar.

The country is one of the Vavilovian centers of origin and diversity of many cultivated crops. Some crops such as Anchote (Coccinia abyssinica) and Oromo potato (Plectranthus edulis) are restricted to Ethiopian highlands. Although these crops have long been cultivated by different local ethnic groups and possess significant contribution to food and nutritional security, they are being marginalized and eventually replaced by major crops such as wheat, maize, Irish potato and sweet potato. Consequently, their current distributions are limited to few localities in the country. In areas where they are still cultivated, they play a crucial role in bridging the food shortage gaps between seasons. They have significant contributions to farmers? livelihood as rich sources of nutrients and cash crops. Nevertheless, the improvement of these crops received little attention in research and development programs. Hence, this joint research project between SLU and AAU aims at evaluation and characterization of the genetic resources of these crops and documentation of their socio-economic and cultural significance in terms of household food security. At the end, the project will produce a policy briefs on the potential of these crops for food and nutritional security in Ethiopia. It is also intended to develop a larger project to improve the productivity of these crops and add value for its wider consumption and marketing. Populärvetenskaplig beskrivning Undersökning av möjligheterna av underutnyttjade endemiska rotknölar grödor i Etiopien för deras bidrag till en hållbar livsmedelsförsörjning Etiopien är ett utvecklingsland där livsmedelsförsörjningen fortfarande är en stor utmaning. Den osäkra livsmedelsförsörjningen i landet strider mot det faktum att landet är rika på genetiska resurser för grödor. Detta beror i stort sett på självhushållsjordbruksnivån av jordbrukssektorn i Etiopien. De små böndernas självhushållningsekonomi täcker 95% av den odlade jorden där ett brett spektrum av grödor med olika lokala sorter odlas. Anchote (Coccinia abyssinica) och Oromo dinich (Plectranthus edulis) är framstående inhemska rotknölar grödor som har sitt ursprung och domesticerades i högländerna i Etiopien, och har varit av stor betydelse för etiopiska små bönders självförsörjande sedan urminnes tid. Dessa grödor hade länge odlats av flera etniska grupper i Etiopien, men till slut lämnade i händerna på färre grupper och begränsade till ställen. Även om dessa grödor har ett betydande bidrag till en hållbar livsmedelsförsörjning i Etiopien, ersättas de ständigt av andra dominerande jordbruksgrödor av global betydelse, såsom vete, majs, irländsk potatis och sötpotatis m.m. vilket hotar den genetiska mångfalden. Dessutom kan förlusten av genetisk mångfald vara oersättlig med åtföljande misslyckande att uppnå matsäkerhet och negativa bidrag till den naturliga miljön. I det sökta projektet avser vi att samla ursprungsbefolkningens kunskaper om lokala lantsorter och den socio-ekonomiska och funktionella betydelsen av de grödorna tillsammans med sina kulturella praktiker. Vidare kommer preliminära mångfaldsstudier med morfologiska, närings-och molekylära markörer utföras vid AAU och SLU för att generera preliminära data för att utveckla gemensamma projekt för förbättring och hållbar användning av dessa försummade och underutnyttjande grödor för framtidens bättre marknadsföring och värdetillägg. Projektet är tvärvetenskapligt med olika relaterade discipliner och experter från SLU och AAU.

The country is one of the Vavilovian centers of origin and diversity of many cultivated crops. Some crops such as Anchote (Coccinia abyssinica) and Oromo potato (Plectranthus edulis) are restricted to Ethiopian highlands. Although these crops have long been cultivated by different local ethnic groups and possess significant contribution to food and nutritional security, they are being marginalized and eventually replaced by major crops such as wheat, maize, Irish potato and sweet potato. Consequently, their current distributions are limited to few localities in the country. In areas where they are still cultivated, they play a crucial role in bridging the food shortage gaps between seasons. They have significant contributions to farmers? livelihood as rich sources of nutrients and cash crops. Nevertheless, the improvement of these crops received little attention in research and development programs. Hence, this joint research project between SLU and AAU aims at evaluation and characterization of the genetic resources of these crops and documentation of their socio-economic and cultural significance in terms of household food security. At the end, the project will produce a policy briefs on the potential of these crops for food and nutritional security in Ethiopia. It is also intended to develop a larger project to improve the productivity of these crops and add value for its wider consumption and marketing. Populärvetenskaplig beskrivning Undersökning av möjligheterna av underutnyttjade endemiska rotknölar grödor i Etiopien för deras bidrag till en hållbar livsmedelsförsörjning Etiopien är ett utvecklingsland där livsmedelsförsörjningen fortfarande är en stor utmaning. Den osäkra livsmedelsförsörjningen i landet strider mot det faktum att landet är rika på genetiska resurser för grödor. Detta beror i stort sett på självhushållsjordbruksnivån av jordbrukssektorn i Etiopien. De små böndernas självhushållningsekonomi täcker 95% av den odlade jorden där ett brett spektrum av grödor med olika lokala sorter odlas. Anchote (Coccinia abyssinica) och Oromo dinich (Plectranthus edulis) är framstående inhemska rotknölar grödor som har sitt ursprung och domesticerades i högländerna i Etiopien, och har varit av stor betydelse för etiopiska små bönders självförsörjande sedan urminnes tid. Dessa grödor hade länge odlats av flera etniska grupper i Etiopien, men till slut lämnade i händerna på färre grupper och begränsade till ställen. Även om dessa grödor har ett betydande bidrag till en hållbar livsmedelsförsörjning i Etiopien, ersättas de ständigt av andra dominerande jordbruksgrödor av global betydelse, såsom vete, majs, irländsk potatis och sötpotatis m.m. vilket hotar den genetiska mångfalden. Dessutom kan förlusten av genetisk mångfald vara oersättlig med åtföljande misslyckande att uppnå matsäkerhet och negativa bidrag till den naturliga miljön. I det sökta projektet avser vi att samla ursprungsbefolkningens kunskaper om lokala lantsorter och den socio-ekonomiska och funktionella betydelsen av de grödorna tillsammans med sina kulturella praktiker. Vidare kommer preliminära mångfaldsstudier med morfologiska, närings-och molekylära markörer utföras vid AAU och SLU för att generera preliminära data för att utveckla gemensamma projekt för förbättring och hållbar användning av dessa försummade och underutnyttjande grödor för framtidens bättre marknadsföring och värdetillägg. Projektet är tvärvetenskapligt med olika relaterade discipliner och experter från SLU och AAU. Den gemensamma utbildningsworkshopen och seminarier som anordnas av experter från SLU och AAU i Sverige och Etiopien kommer att stärka samarbetet mellan de två universiteten, vilket på sikt bidrar till en hållbar livsmedelsförsörjning i Etiopien.

The influenza virus infects approximately 600,000,000 people globally each year, resulting in 250,000-500,000 deaths. They have previously established methods for the synthesis of oseltamivir phosphate or Tamiflu. However, debenzylation of the benzyl protecting group by conventional catalytic hydrogenation methods using a palladium catalyst always resulted in low yield and required a long reaction time. They are looking for an efficient catalyst which can be used in their synthetic process and give high yields. Catalysts will be prepared in Sweden and sent to Thailand for evaluation. Alternatively, a student could be sent to Sweden to work with the catalysts and the synthesis in my lab at Stockholm University.

Today SiO2-technology, inherited from traditional Si manufacturing, is the dominating choice both for passivation layers and as gate dielectrics. This limits the usefulness of SiC and results in low surface mobilities, poor reliability, lower breakdown fields and lower temperature operation than would be the case with a more optimized dielectric layer. Preliminary results show that aluminum oxide (Al2O3) can be a better choice due to its larger dielectric constant and better thermal stability than SiO2. The main objective of the project is to acquire an atomic-level understanding of chemical bonding at the Al2O3/SiC interface. This will help in optimization of the depositions process, also of other high-k dielectrics on 4H-SiC. The goal will be reached by a detailed investigation of the electronic structure, using refined X-ray techniques, in combination with studies of the atomic stoichiometry and positioning of atoms at the interface, using novel ion beam scattering techniques. The research will predominantly be performed in Sweden, using unique resources both for processing and characterization in an environment of other SiC related research. The co-applicant of this proposal is a former PhD student of the main applicant and well acquainted with this environment. Kiselkarbid (SiC) är ett halvledarmaterial som kan användas till att tillverka elektronikkomponenter som tål mycket högre spänningar och temperaturer än dagens kiselkomponenter. Utveckling av materialet har skett under snart 20 år i både Europa, USA och Asien och Sverige har en mycket framskjuten position inom denna forskning. Det är framför allt materialets spänningstålighet (10 gånger större än kisel) och den goda temperaturledningsförmågan (3 gånger större än kisel), som gör att det är så användbart i tillämpningar för höga elektriska effekter. Genom att ersätta dagens kisel-baserade kraftelektronik med SiC-komponenter kan mankraftigt reducera energianvändandet tack vare att SiC-komponenternas effektförluster är betydligt mindre. En ny generation krafthalvledarkomponenter kommer också att göra ny miljövänlig energiproduktion tillgänglig genom att effektivisera reglering och effektuttag för t ex vind- och våggeneratorer. Det kommer också att avsevärt förenkla introduktionen av elbilar och hybridfordon genom att elektroniken blir effektivare och betydligt mindre utrymmeskrävande. Dessutom slipper man stora och tunga vätskekylda system, eftersom man kan klara sig med luftkylning och detta kan vara avgörande för eldrifter av lättare fordon. Idag kan man köpa enklare SiC-komponenter, s k Schottkydioder, som kan användas i spänningsomvandlare, batteriladdare, och andra liknande tillämpningar. Det är dock väldigt svårt att konkurrera med kisel-komponenter, eftersom priset för dessa än så länge är betydligt lägre. Det är framför allt för högre effekter och för mer komplicerade komponenter, transistorer, som fördelarna med SiC kommer till sin rätt och där man kan förvänta sig de stora vinsterna, både ekonomiska och miljömässiga. Med detta projekt vill vi driva på utvecklingen mot dessa högspända SiC komponenter. En av de återstående flaskhalsarna är det material och de tekniker som används för att skydda ?passivera- SiC materialets ytor. Komponenter av SiC arbetar under extremt höga elektriska fält och temperaturer. Själva kiselkarbiden tål detta, men komponenterna måste ju fungera i en omgivning som inte tål sådana påfrestningar. Därför kommer de kontaktmaterial, inkapslingar och omgivande strukturer att vara begränsande för hur hårt kiselkarbiden kan utnyttjas. De största problemen finns just i gränsytan mellan kiselkarbiden och det första omslutande materialet, som oftast utgörs av ett elektriskt isolerande skikt. Idag används en teknologi som lånats från kiselteknologin, nämligen att omsluta SiC med kiseldioxid, SiO2. Detta är främst av praktiska skäl, eftersom teknologin existerar och fungerar hjälpligt för de spänningsnivåer som dagens SiC komponenter når upp till. Kiseldioxid används också som isolering för tänd- och släckbara komponenter som regleras med elektriska fält, s k MOS-transistorer. På sikt, med högre spänningsnivåer och för högre temperaturer, behövs dock andra lösningar än SiO2. I detta projekt ska vi i detalj studera gränsytan mellan SiC och aluminiumoxid, ett annat mycket isolerande material som har visat sig ha bättre egenskaper än SiO2. Denna teknologi är dock ännu inte utvecklad och man behöver lära sig mer om ytpreparering och deponeringsmetoderna innan den kan etablera sig. Dessutom är det ännu tämligen outforskat vad som händer i gränsytan på atomär nivå när SiC beläggs med aluminiumoxid. I projektet ska vi inrikta oss på förståelsen av detta gränsskikt och försöka optimera ytprepareringen och deponeringsparmetrar för att göra gränsskiktet så bra som möjligt. Vi kommer att använda modern röntgenspektroskopi baserad på synkrotronljus för att studera elektronstrukturen i gränsskiktet och även använda ny analysteknik med jonstrålar för att studera positionen av olika atomer på ytan. Detta kompletteras med elektriska mätningar, t ex kapacitans och ström-mätningar.

Coli) in food and environmental samples. This is particularly relevant in fast growing country, as Turkey, where the concentration of citizens in large urban areas makes the incidence of pathogens associated problem extremely high; furthermore such a screening tool will be extremely important in countries where the limited access to resources and/or infrastructures (laboratories) is a limiting factor towards effective control of food and environment. The developed aptasensor is expected to open new prospective in rapid and on-site pathogens monitoring improving the management of outbreaks, promoting the implementation of existing European regulation (Directive 98/83/EC) on water/environmental management and meeting with the indications of international food safety platforms (FDA, FAO, EFSA etc.). Together with the scientific goals the Patho-Screen project is also seen as an important platform to allow the strengthening of the collaboration between the involved Universities in the vision of future exchanges of students, researchers, knowledge and in joint future applications as the forthcoming Horizon 2020. Patho-screen, ett samarbetsprojekt mellan Linköpings universitet, Linköping, Sverige och Istanbul Kemerburgaz universitet, Istanbul, Turkiet med mål att utveckla en sensor för snabb, on-site och kostnadseffektiv screening av patogener/bakterier (Salmonella typhimurium och E. Coli) i livsmedels- och miljöprover. Den utvecklade sensorn kommer att baseras på användning av speciellt utformade aptamerer i kombination med elektrokemiska omvandlare. Detta ämne är särskilt relevant i snabbväxande länder, som Turkiet, där koncentrationen av medborgare i storstadsområden gör förekomsten av patogenassocierade problem extremt hög, och dessutom är utvecklingen av ett sådant screening-verktyg oerhört viktig i länder där den begränsade tillgången till resurser och/eller infrastruktur (laboratorier) är en begränsande faktor för en punktlig och effektiv kontroll av livsmedel och miljö. De utmaningar som utgörs av det förslagna projektet kommer att behandlas genom en sammanslagning av de väletablerade och globalt erkända expertis av gruppmedlemmarna, var och en med sitt kärnområde: elektrokemiska biosensorer (Biosensorer och Bioelektronikcenter, Linköpings universitet) och aptamerval för livsmedels- och miljöanalys (Istanbul Kemerburgaz universitet). Den utvecklade aptamerbaserade sensorn förväntas öppna ny framtid i snabb och on-site patogenövervakning med förbättringsmöjligheter i hanteringen av utbrott, i genomförandet av befintlig EU-lagstiftning (direktiv 98/83/EC) om vatten/miljöledning, och i att möta de senaste indikationerna från de flesta av de internationella livsmedelssäkerhetsplattformarna (FDA, FAO, EFSA etc.). Tillsammans med de vetenskapliga målen ses Patho-Screen-projektet också som en viktig plattform för att möjliggöra en förstärkning av samarbetet mellan de två partneruniversiteten i visionen om framtida utbyten av studenter, forskare, kunskap och i utarbetandet av gemensamma grundläggande applikationer som till exempel i det kommande Horisont 2020 Europeiska kommissionen.

The developed aptasensor is expected to open new prospective in rapid and on-site pathogens monitoring improving the management of outbreaks, promoting the implementation of existing European regulation (Directive 98/83/EC) on water/environmental management and meeting with the indications of international food safety platforms (FDA, FAO, EFSA etc.). Together with the scientific goals the Patho-Screen project is also seen as an important platform to allow the strengthening of the collaboration between the involved Universities in the vision of future exchanges of students, researchers, knowledge and in joint future applications as the forthcoming Horizon 2020. Patho-screen, ett samarbetsprojekt mellan Linköpings universitet, Linköping, Sverige och Istanbul Kemerburgaz universitet, Istanbul, Turkiet med mål att utveckla en sensor för snabb, on-site och kostnadseffektiv screening av patogener/bakterier (Salmonella typhimurium och E. Coli) i livsmedels- och miljöprover. Den utvecklade sensorn kommer att baseras på användning av speciellt utformade aptamerer i kombination med elektrokemiska omvandlare. Detta ämne är särskilt relevant i snabbväxande länder, som Turkiet, där koncentrationen av medborgare i storstadsområden gör förekomsten av patogenassocierade problem extremt hög, och dessutom är utvecklingen av ett sådant screening-verktyg oerhört viktig i länder där den begränsade tillgången till resurser och/eller infrastruktur (laboratorier) är en begränsande faktor för en punktlig och effektiv kontroll av livsmedel och miljö. De utmaningar som utgörs av det förslagna projektet kommer att behandlas genom en sammanslagning av de väletablerade och globalt erkända expertis av gruppmedlemmarna, var och en med sitt kärnområde: elektrokemiska biosensorer (Biosensorer och Bioelektronikcenter, Linköpings universitet) och aptamerval för livsmedels- och miljöanalys (Istanbul Kemerburgaz universitet). Den utvecklade aptamerbaserade sensorn förväntas öppna ny framtid i snabb och on-site patogenövervakning med förbättringsmöjligheter i hanteringen av utbrott, i genomförandet av befintlig EU-lagstiftning (direktiv 98/83/EC) om vatten/miljöledning, och i att möta de senaste indikationerna från de flesta av de internationella livsmedelssäkerhetsplattformarna (FDA, FAO, EFSA etc.). Tillsammans med de vetenskapliga målen ses Patho-Screen-projektet också som en viktig plattform för att möjliggöra en förstärkning av samarbetet mellan de två partneruniversiteten i visionen om framtida utbyten av studenter, forskare, kunskap och i utarbetandet av gemensamma grundläggande applikationer som till exempel i det kommande Horisont 2020 Europeiska kommissionen.

We will use both fundamental theoretical and numerical analysis, as well as experimental set-ups where different types of photonic lattices are fabricated and nonlinear phenomena studied. The project will be a collaboration between my group in Linköping, and the groups of two senior researchers in Chile and two senior researchers in Serbia. It builds on experiences from earlier collaborations between myself and one of the Chilean scientists, who in turn collaborated with one of the Serbian scientists. We here aim at synergy effects by extending these individual contacts into an organized collaboration between all groups, with mutual exchanges and organization of workshops. All groups have, in different contexts, obtained pioneering (theoretical and/or experimental) results on how nonlinearity may localize light beams in waveguide arrays, and in particular analyzed conditions for rendering such excitations (*discrete optical solitons*) mobile. A major remaining challenge, which we address in this project, is to search for optimal types of lattices and nonlinearities, where these fundamental phenomena could be controlled to the extent that they could be useful for real technological devices. Our theoretical results will also be significant for the dynamics of Bose-Einstein condensates in optical lattices, described by similar models. Ickelinjära mekanismer för att lokalisera och förflytta ljusvågor i optiska vågledar-system. Så kallade fotoniska gitter är artificiellt skapade strukturer som fungerar som periodiska potentialer för ljusvågor. Ett exempel på ett sådant är ett system av ett stort antal optiska vågledare (liknande fiberoptiska kablar), svagt växelverkande med varandra, där varje vågledare kan ses som en *atom* i ett gitter. Om materialets brytningsindex varierar signifikant med ljusets intensitet uppkommer ickelinjära effekter, vilket innebär att helt nya fundamentala mekanismer kan användas för att manipulera ljusvågorna genom att variera ljusets intensitet. En speciellt intressant effekt är, att icke-linjäriteten kan leda till att ljuset inte sprider ut sig bland vågledarna så som det skulle gjort om systemet varit linjärt, utan huvudsakligen förblir lokaliserat runt en enda vågledare. Sådana lokaliserade vågor, som i det här sammanhanget brukar kallas *diskreta solitoner* (liknande fenomen i andra sammanhang går också under benämningen *Intrinsiskt Lokaliserade Moder*, ILM) har studerats intensivt, både teoretiskt och experimentellt, under de senaste 15 åren. Ett centralt problem, både ur en fundamental teoretisk och en praktisk tillämpbar synvinkel, är att bättre förstå vilka villkor som måste vara uppfyllda för att en diskret soliton ska vara rörlig, så att en väl lokaliserad ljusvåg transporteras i systemet. Vi är speciellt intresserade av att studera rörliga diskreta solitoner i två-dimensionella fotoniska gitter, där de skulle kunna användas för att åstadkomma switchning mellan olika kanaler i optiska komponenter. Det internationella samarbetet mellan vår grupp i Linköping och grupperna i Chile och Serbien är viktigt för alla parter, ur flera aspekter. Dels är samtliga grupper relativt små och i princip ensamma inom forskningsområdet i sina respektive länder. Dels innebär samarbetet en mötesplats mellan forskare med kompletterande kompetenser: medan vi i Linköping har huvudsaklig teoretisk expertis för de fundamentala icke-linjära fenomenen, så har grupperna i Chile och Serbien kompetens, såväl teoretisk som experimentell, inom de specifika optiska systemen, och även vad gäller numerisk simulering av dessa. Gruppen i Chile har nyligen byggt upp ett experimentellt laboratorium, som vi ämnar använda för att testa våra teoretiska ideer på verkliga system. Även gruppen i Serbien har laboratorium under uppbyggnad. De teoretiska modeller som vi använder har också relevans i beskrivningen av kvantmekaniska materievågor, för s.k. Bose-Einstein kondensat av mycket kalla atomer fångade i externa optiska potentialer. Vi kan därför förvänta oss, att resultat från vårt projekt även får signifikans för dessa system, med viktiga tillämpninga t.ex. för design av atom-interferometrar.

In Sri Lanka approximately 50% of the population (9.8 million people) is at risk of contracting bancroftian filariasis. Permanent and long term disability as well as acute attacks of filariasis affects the productivity of persons and causes loss of income. Currently no vaccine is available for human filarisis. There are only two drugs available for treating human lymphatic filariasis: The worm Wuchereria bancrofti is responsible for approximately 115 million cases and approximately 13 million is caused by Brugia malayi. Although W. bancrofti is the major causative organism, very little is known about the molecular biology, biochemistry and immune mechanisms of this parasite. W. bancrofti cannot be maintained in the laboratory and this is an impediment for testing new treatment forms in laboratory conditions. The project described in this proposal proposes the use of a cattle filarial parasite, Setaria digitata, as the model organism. This project will sequence and annotate the complete genome of Setaria digitata using NGS tecnologies. Work that will allow the identification of genes susceptible to drugs. Next Generation Sequencing technologies are revolutionizing the way we do research in the Life Sciences field. This project will deploy a permanent stand alone bioinformatics platform in Colombo and traini researchers iand students in the use of it. *Finding a cure for filariasis in humans and cattle* Lymphatic filariasis is a disease commonly known as elephantiasis and is caused by a parasite. This disease affects mostly people in developing countries. In Sri Lanka alone approximately 50% of the population (9.8 million people) is at risk of being infected and develop this disease. The disease causes deformities in people making them unable to work normally, this affects the productivity of the affected persons and causes loss of income. The fight against this disease is a fight against poverty in developing countries. Even more significant is the social stigma that goes with the disease (Elephantiasis). There is no vaccine against elephantiasis and only two known drugs that can combat this disease. The scientific name for the worm causing elephantiasis is Wuchereria bancrofti (W. bancrofti) The biggest problem for scientists to find cures against the disease is that W. bancrofti is almost impossible to keep alive in laboratory conditions. For that reason a close relative of this worm: Setaria digitata, that causes filariasis in cattle, can be used as a model for studies as this worm can be cultivated in laboratory conditions. Medical research is experiencing a revolution in the field of sequencing (reading) the genetic code of any organism using the so called Next Generation Sequencing technologies (NGS) at incredible speed and very low costs. In this case the sequence of a W. bancrofti genome is already publicly available. This will facilitate the planned comparative studies between these to related worms. It is of great value to also have the genetic code of the Setaria digitata as every gene discovery will be possible to test in the laboratories. The work will be mainly done using the power of modern computers and work that took decades in the past will take just a few years with the new bioinformatics tools available. Bioinformatics is a new science that fuses computational and biological sciences. The goal of this project is to produce the complete genome sequence of Setaria digitata and in this way allow the scientists to design new drugs and test them first in laboratory conditions and ultimately test if it works against the human elephantiasis. I will also allow the training and capacitation of a whole generation of Srilankan scientists in the use of modern bioinformatics tools.

These changes resulted in the development of lakes, change in river course and fall in lake levels, which impacted landscape evolution, vegetation and early human societies. High-resolution paleoclimate records from sedimentary archives in Africa are very scarce. Moreover, existing studies have low temporal resolution or large age uncertainties. Paleoenvironment studies with good time resolution can provide answers on how hydrological changes have affected aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems, and the sensitivity of these ecosystems towards different climate scenarios. Sedimentary and lake sequences from the catchment in Lake Victoria Basin form an excellent terrestrial archive to test the hypotheses: 1) short-term climate variability in North Atlantic is synchronous with changes in temperature and rainfall in east Africa, and 2) ecosystem changes were probably gradual and responded in phase to temperature and rainfall, which impacted early human settlements. Our goals are to reconstruct a high-resolution late-glacial to near-modern multi-proxy paleoclimate record and predict Holocene temperature and paleohydrology changes. We will correlate the data with other records from peat, stalagmites and marine sequences from this region. The two-way knowledge exchange, and new research initiatives and collaboration will provide fresh insights, benefit exchange of scientists, and improve existing facilities.

Schools is an important environment for children, and we will focus on studies on health effects of the school environment in Malaysia. In addition we will include epidemiological studies on the home environment, day care centres and the office environment in Malaysia. We measure key pollutants from indoor and outdoor sources, including house dust mite, tropical storage mites, cockroach and furry pet allergens, fungal DNA (a marker of mould), microbial components from moulds and bacteria, formaldehyde, volatile organic compounds (VOC) and nitrogen dioxide (NO2). Outdoor measurements will be performed in parallel. We study the prevalence of asthma, asthmatic symptoms and other respiratory symptoms, and allergy among the pupils, and associations between these health parameters and the exposure in the school environment, day care environment and the dwelling. Moreover we measure NO in exhaled air, a clinical marker of asthma and tear film break up time (BUT), a marker of eye irritation. The project is important since there is few previous studies on the school, day care centre and office environment in Malaysia. The co-operation will include workshops with Malaysian and Swedish participants, training of Malaysian master and PhD students in Sweden, and a number of collaborative scientific publications are planned. Huvudsyftet med samarbetet är ett ömsesidigt utbyte av kunskap och forskningsmetodik inom området miljömedicin, särskilt rörande samband mellan hälsa och exponeringar i inomhusmiljön. Eftersom skolmiljön är en viktig miljö för barn, kommer vi att fokusera på studier av hälsoeffekter av skolmiljön i Malaysia. Dessutom kommer vi att inkludera epidemiologiska undersökningar om hemmiljön, förskolor och kontorsmiljöer i Malaysia. Vi mäter viktiga föroreningar från källor inomhus och utomhus, inklusive allergen från husdammskvalster, tropiskt förrådskvalster, kackerlacka och pälsdjursallergen, mögel-DNA (en markör av mögel), mikrobiella komponenter från mögel och bakterier, formaldehyd, flyktiga organiska ämnen (VOC) och kvävedioxid (NO2). Utomhusmätningar genomförs parallellt av vissa luftföroreningar. Vi studerar även förekomst av astma, astmasymtom och andra luftvägssymptom, och allergier hos eleverna, och sambanden mellan dessa hälsoparametrar och exponeringen i skolmiljön, hemmiljön och förskolemiljön. Dessutom mäter vi NO i utandningsluft, en klinisk markör för astma och tårfilmens stabilitet (BUT), en markör för ögonirritation. Projektet är viktigt eftersom det finns få tidigare studier om miljön i skolor, förskolor och kontor i Malaysia, och hur miljöfaktorer påverkar hälsan i Malaysia. Samarbetet kommer att omfatta workshops med malaysiska och svenska deltagare, utbildning av malaysiska masterstudenter och doktorander i Sverige, och ett antal vetenskapliga publikationer kommer att skrivas tillsammans..

In addition we will include epidemiological studies on the home environment, day care centres and the office environment in Malaysia. We measure key pollutants from indoor and outdoor sources, including house dust mite, tropical storage mites, cockroach and furry pet allergens, fungal DNA (a marker of mould), microbial components from moulds and bacteria, formaldehyde, volatile organic compounds (VOC) and nitrogen dioxide (NO2). Outdoor measurements will be performed in parallel. We study the prevalence of asthma, asthmatic symptoms and other respiratory symptoms, and allergy among the pupils, and associations between these health parameters and the exposure in the school environment, day care environment and the dwelling. Moreover we measure NO in exhaled air, a clinical marker of asthma and tear film break up time (BUT), a marker of eye irritation. The project is important since there is few previous studies on the school, day care centre and office environment in Malaysia. The co-operation will include workshops with Malaysian and Swedish participants, training of Malaysian master and PhD students in Sweden, and a number of collaborative scientific publications are planned. Huvudsyftet med samarbetet är ett ömsesidigt utbyte av kunskap och forskningsmetodik inom området miljömedicin, särskilt rörande samband mellan hälsa och exponeringar i inomhusmiljön. Eftersom skolmiljön är en viktig miljö för barn, kommer vi att fokusera på studier av hälsoeffekter av skolmiljön i Malaysia. Dessutom kommer vi att inkludera epidemiologiska undersökningar om hemmiljön, förskolor och kontorsmiljöer i Malaysia. Vi mäter viktiga föroreningar från källor inomhus och utomhus, inklusive allergen från husdammskvalster, tropiskt förrådskvalster, kackerlacka och pälsdjursallergen, mögel-DNA (en markör av mögel), mikrobiella komponenter från mögel och bakterier, formaldehyd, flyktiga organiska ämnen (VOC) och kvävedioxid (NO2). Utomhusmätningar genomförs parallellt av vissa luftföroreningar. Vi studerar även förekomst av astma, astmasymtom och andra luftvägssymptom, och allergier hos eleverna, och sambanden mellan dessa hälsoparametrar och exponeringen i skolmiljön, hemmiljön och förskolemiljön. Dessutom mäter vi NO i utandningsluft, en klinisk markör för astma och tårfilmens stabilitet (BUT), en markör för ögonirritation. Projektet är viktigt eftersom det finns få tidigare studier om miljön i skolor, förskolor och kontor i Malaysia, och hur miljöfaktorer påverkar hälsan i Malaysia. Samarbetet kommer att omfatta workshops med malaysiska och svenska deltagare, utbildning av malaysiska masterstudenter och doktorander i Sverige, och ett antal vetenskapliga publikationer kommer att skrivas tillsammans..

Predictions say that we will face constant threat from variants of old as well as from completely new infectious agents. The society need to be prepared for these threats by investing in research that enables us to better understand the nature of the infectious agents that are around us. Coronaviruses are important pathogens within veterinary science causing disease in a number of different species such as bovine, feline, avian, pigs etc. But in the last decade we have also seen that these viruses have zoonotic potential, with the SARS outbreak in 2003, and recently with the novel coronavirus that emerged in 2012 causing up till now 7 number of human deaths out of 13 known cases. These viruses have a rapid evolution allowing them to adapt to novel hosts as well as evolve from non-pathogenic to pathogenic variants. Therefore, the purpose of this proposal is to use *next generation of sequencing technology* (NGS) and up-to-date bioinformatics tools to gain insights in the viral quasispecies composition and evolution of these most complex RNA viruses in different host situations. This knowledge is vital for better understanding the complex interaction between viruses and host leading to disease and may give us tools for prediction and prevention of this important group of viruses. Hur kan vi förbereda oss mot nuvarande och framtida hot mot virus? Globala smittsamma infektionssjukdomar är ett stort problem för välfärden och förutspås komma att fortsätta öka i betydelse även i framtiden. Detta beror på många faktorer såsom klimatförändringar, ökat resande, ökat naturresursutnyttjande etc. Detta innebär att vi kommer att möta helt nya infektionsagens (bakterier, virus, parasiter, svampar) med alla de utmaningar som detta innebär med avseende på detektion, behandling och så vidare. För merparten av dessa nya agens och dess sjukdomar kommer det inledningsvis antagligen inte finnas varken bra metoder för detektion eller behandling tillgängliga. Det är därför ur samhällssynvinkel viktigt att investera i forskning av infektionsagens för att öka vår förståelse för dess biologi för att på så sätt kunna förbereda oss för de utmaningar som detta ökade tryck av infektionsagens innebär. Speciellt antas nya virus uppkomma och/eller finna nya miljöer vilket kommer att utsätta vår och våra husdjurs hälsa för stora ansträngningar. Virus har förmågan att förändra sig enormt, anpassa sig till nya miljöer och värdar och det innebär att nya varianter, med nya egenskaper, ständigt bildas. Faktum är att virus smittar som *ett moln* av olika virus varianter, där det är deras samlade egenskaper som avgör om de leder till sjukdom eller ej. I dessa moln finns en, särskilt för RNA virus, enorm variation som hittills varit mycket svår och tidsödande att studera och därför känner vi inte till det exakta sambandet mellan sammansättningen av *virusmolnet* och utfallet av sjukdom eller ej. Ny teknik, den så kallade *nästa generation av sekvenseringsteknologi* har öppnat upp möjligheter att studera detta. I korthet går det ut på att man med hjälp av denna sekvenseringsteknologi och bioinformatik bestämmer alla virala genetiska varianter ur ett givet prov. Syftet med detta projekt är att med denna nya teknik studera en ur veterinär och humanmedicinen mycket viktig RNA virusfamilj, coronavirus. Vi kommer att studera hur några varianter ur denna virusfamilj fungerar med avseende på mutationsbenägenhet under utveckling av sjukdom. Vi kommer således studera hur viruset muterar från en ofarlig variant till en med dödlig utgång, detta i katter. Vi kommer också studera hur detta virus bibehålls i en naturlig reservoar för viruset, fladdermöss, som inte blir sjuka av infektionen samt kommer slutligen studera hur viruset muterar i en miljö där ständigt nya individer tillkommer för viruset att infektera. Den nya kunskap som detta projekt kommer att generera är en bättre förståelse för hur viruset förändras i infekterade individer under olika förutsättningar. Allt detta är viktigt för att vi skall kunna bemöta hot, som antas komma, från denna familj av virus. Kunskapen kan dock överföras till andra virusfamiljer som också kommer utgöra framtida och nuvarande hot mot vår hälsa.

Based on this assumption, a key-aim of this project is to establish a basis for fair migration governance. This will be done in two steps. First, a nuanced understanding of migration will be obtained by comparative studies of migration in in three countries: Indonesia, Malaysia and Sweden. Second, drawing on Moral Cosmopolitan theory, a principled basis for fair migration governance will be developed. The project aim is realized by means of a careful project design that integrates research on migration within the fields of Ethics, Social Science and Psychology. In the first step, discipline-specific studies are carried out that serve to inform analyses conducted n the second step where partners from the different disciplines collaborate to develop a framework for fair migration governance. This project proposal is well-anchored in an existing collaboration between the two applicants. Expected results are substantial contributions to the migration debate in the form of encompassing analyses of migration and principled reasoning on responsibility. For project members, the interdisciplinary and international character of this project brings an extended research network, novel perspectives and dissemination channels. Research conducted in this project will serve as valuable input for future collaborative projects. Medan olika frihandelsavtal har underlättat möjligheten att föra varor och kapital över nationsgränser har människors rörelsefrihet mellan länder begränsats markant. Storskalig gränsövervakning och migrationskontroll världen över vittnar om detta. Denna utveckling väcker en rad etiska och sociala frågor om staters och migranters rättigheter och skyldigheter gentemot varandra. Några exempel är: Hur påverkas individer av och under strängare villkor för migration? Kan stater vara berättigade att systematiskt exkludera migranter och, om så, på vilka grunder? Kan stabila, välbärgade demokratier sägas ha några skyldigheter gentemot sämre ställda nationer och i så fall varför? Till exempel, spelar den koloniala historien roll för ansvar mellan utvecklade- och utvecklingsländer? Bör hänsyn tas till hur och varför migration uppkommer? Oftast hävdas att legitima stater, i kraft av sin suveränitet, är berättigade att bestämma över migration som en intern angelägenhet, bevaka sina gränser och begränsa andras åtkomst till deras territorier. Denna ståndpunkt problematiseras inom detta projekt där utgångspunkten är att migration bör förstås som en global snarare än en nationell angelägenhet och att ett gemensamt, överstatligt ansvarstagande för- och internationell samverkan kring migration är nödvändig för att säkerställa de olika parternas rättigheter och skyldigheter. Det primära målet för detta projekt är att utveckla ett etiskt ramverk för rättvist, överstatligt ansvarstagande för migration. Detta mål realiseras i två steg. I ett första steg görs en jämförande analys av (1) migranters erfarenheter av reguljär och irreguljär migration och hur de påverkas under rådande migrationssystem samt (2) nationers villkor för migration och möjligheter att ta hand om migranter. I ett andra steg används denna information som underlag vid utvecklandet av principer för en rättvis ansvarsfördelning för migration. Den teoretiska basen utgörs av en form av Moralisk Kosmopolitanism som kräver att alla personer, oavsett nationalitet, ska tillerkännas lika stort värde och att alla personers basala intressen ska ges lika vikt. Komplexiteten hos dessa frågor och problem motiverar den tvärvetenskapliga analys som detta projekt erbjuder. Med hjälp av flera discipliner, olika teoretiska verktyg och flernivåanalyser kommer de frågor som exemplifierats ovan att behandlas av forskare inom Etik, Ekonomi, Statsvetenskap och Psykologi i Indonesien, Malaysia och Sverige. Sociala, politiska och ekonomiska faktorer som påverkar migration kommer att analyseras liksom etiska och psykologiska implikationer av reguljär och irreguljär migration. I det första steget bedrivs disciplin-specifika studier som sedan informerar analysen i steg två där projektdeltagare från de olika disciplinerna samverkar om att utveckla ett ramverk för ett rättvist migrationssystem. Det övergripande målet uppnås med hjälp av en väl genomtänkt projektstruktur där de olika kompetenserna inom projektet tillvaratas och integreras. En central ambition är att genom detta projekt lära av hur migration hanteras inom olika länder för att utveckla ett system som förmår att balansera fundamentala rättigheter och intressen. Projektförslaget är sprunget ur ett existerande samarbete mellan de två huvudsökande och förankrat i deras respektive nätverk. Detta samarbete är i sig en avknoppning av ett tidigare LINKS projekt.

The objectives are: characterizations of graphene grown under different conditions and of functionalized graphene. To understand the interactions for band engineering and contacting with overlayers are crucial issues for future graphene-based devices. This will be accomplished using advanced surface science techniques at the Siam synchrotron, together with a group at Chulalongkorn University. This group is experienced in material growth and in other material characterization techniques. The collaboration will be mutually beneficial since the plan is to include also their nitride samples. The main applicant has a good track-record in graphene research using LEEM, PEEM, etc., at MAX-lab. The results show that high-quality large-area single-layer graphene can be grown, that the carbon buffer layer can be eliminated by hydrogen exposures, and that the graphene/SiC system has potential for hydrogen storage. During part of 2015/2016 MAX-lab will be shut down before the new ring is operational. The competition at the LEEM station has led to that an insufficient amount of beamtime has been obtained lately. Therefore she is proposing collaboration between her activities and the group at Chula, with two different goals in mind; get access to required LEEM beamtime for her graphene activities at the Siam synchrotron, and establish collaboration with the Chula group on their nitrides. Grafen representerar idag ett av de mest dynamiska forskningsområdena inom nanovetenskapen tack vare sina många olika tillämpningsområden (snabb elektronik, lättviktsmaterial och flexibelt). Växer man grafen, som stora homogena lager, direkt på en isolator/halvledare så kan konventionella litografiska metoder användas för mönstring och metallkontakter appliceras för att framställa elektroniska kretsar. Såväl mono- och multi-lager av grafen växta på kiselkarbid uppvisar elektroniska egenskaper liknande ett isolerat lager av grafen. Därför har grafen/SiC kommit i fokus i forskningsansträngningarna som en möjlig/lämplig väg mot ny elektronik baserad på grafen. För grafen baserad nano-elektronik så spelar möjligheterna att modifiera elekronband-strukturen, att dopa och kontaktera grafen, och att ha tillgången till stora homogena lager av grafen lager på lämpligt substrat lika viktiga roller. Bandstrukturen för ett isolerat lager klassificerar grafen som en halvledare med noll bandgap. Vissa applikationer kräver dock ett bandgap. Ett sätt att erhålla ett bandgap är att skapa en smal remsa av grafen, med en bredd på mindre än 100 Micron, och därigenom begränsa elektronerna och hålen till en *kvantbox* som splittrar energibanden. Därvid kan dock de elektroniska egenskaperna ändras eftersom yt-tillstånd skapas vid remsans kanter. Nyligen publicerade resultat visar att storleken på bandgapet också kan kontrolleras genom att tillföra varierad mängd av adsorberat väte på ytan av grafen. Detta visar att det är möjligt att skräddarsy bandgapet utan att man behöver skära grafen i smala remsor. Vi har nyligen påvisat att när grafen växt på den kiselavslutade SiC ytan exponeras till väte så interkalerar vätet, dvs vätet tränger ner under grafen och buffertlagret och binder till de översta kiselatomerna i substratet. För ett prov med ett lager grafen initialt erhålls efter exponering alltså två lager grafen. Denna upptäckt avser vi exploatera vidare genom interkalering med andra atomer. Vi planerar också undersöka hur bandstrukturen modifieras när yttillstånd satureras med olika adsorbat och kan ge n- respektive p-typ dopat grafen. Att utveckla goda metalliska kontakter till grafen är ytterligare en sak som finns ett akut behov av. Speciellt för epitaxiellt växta grafenlager så kan substratet ge bidrag av kritisk betydelse beroende på vilken metall som väljs. Tack vare sina unika egenskaper så är dessutom grafen av stort intresse för användning inom sensorapplikationer, i studier av adsorptionsfenomen från atomer till biomolekyler. Huvudsökande är en av pionjärerna i Sverige inom forskningen på grafen växt på kiselkarbid och har använt sig av de synkrotronljusbaserade karakteriserings-metoder fotoelektron-spektroskopi (XPS, ARPES), lågenergi-elektronmikroskopi (LEEM) och fotoelektron-elektronmikroskopi (PEEM) vid MAX laboratoriet i Lund. Under 2015/2016 kommer de nuvarande lagringsringarna att stängas ner under en längre tid innan den nya MAXIV ringen är i drift. Söktrycket för att erhålla mättid är dessutom numera så högt på speciellt LEEM/PEEM strållinjen så att tillräckligt med stråltid inte längre erhålls för att kunna fortsätta att hålla sig i fronten av detta snabbt växande forskningsfält. Samarbetspartnern (Dr. Tungasmita) vid Chulalongkorn University har lång erfarenhet av materialtillväxt, främst olika nitrider, och av andra karakteriseringsmetoder och har starkt intresse av att få igång grundläggande grafenforskning vid universitetet i syfte att på sikt kunna överföra erhållen kunskap för industri-tillämpningar. Vid Siam synkrotronljus laboratoriet i Nakhon Ratchasima, Thailand, har man en LEEM/PEEM, samt en fotoelektron-spektroskopi, strålinje liknande de nuvarande vid MAX-lab. Gruppen vid Chula har frågeställningar rörande sina nitridmaterial för vilka synkrotronljusstudier bör kunna ge värdefulla svar. Därför ansöks härmed om stöd för initiering av ett samarbete mellan dessa två forskningsgrupper vid LiU och Chula, ett samarbete s Sweden The Swedish Research Council The Swedish Research Council +46 8 546 44 000 vetenskapsradet@vr.se www.vr.se Box 1035, 101 38 Stockholm, Sweden Thailand Research/scientific institutions Other Multisector Saknas No indicator available - only a description of the activity results is published SE-0-SE-29-2013-6781-1 Sweden This project aims to integrate concepts of graphene-SiC from fundamental science to applications.

Bandstrukturen för ett isolerat lager klassificerar grafen som en halvledare med noll bandgap. Vissa applikationer kräver dock ett bandgap. Ett sätt att erhålla ett bandgap är att skapa en smal remsa av grafen, med en bredd på mindre än 100 Micron, och därigenom begränsa elektronerna och hålen till en *kvantbox* som splittrar energibanden. Därvid kan dock de elektroniska egenskaperna ändras eftersom yt-tillstånd skapas vid remsans kanter. Nyligen publicerade resultat visar att storleken på bandgapet också kan kontrolleras genom att tillföra varierad mängd av adsorberat väte på ytan av grafen. Detta visar att det är möjligt att skräddarsy bandgapet utan att man behöver skära grafen i smala remsor. Vi har nyligen påvisat att när grafen växt på den kiselavslutade SiC ytan exponeras till väte så interkalerar vätet, dvs vätet tränger ner under grafen och buffertlagret och binder till de översta kiselatomerna i substratet. För ett prov med ett lager grafen initialt erhålls efter exponering alltså två lager grafen. Denna upptäckt avser vi exploatera vidare genom interkalering med andra atomer. Vi planerar också undersöka hur bandstrukturen modifieras när yttillstånd satureras med olika adsorbat och kan ge n- respektive p-typ dopat grafen. Att utveckla goda metalliska kontakter till grafen är ytterligare en sak som finns ett akut behov av. Speciellt för epitaxiellt växta grafenlager så kan substratet ge bidrag av kritisk betydelse beroende på vilken metall som väljs. Tack vare sina unika egenskaper så är dessutom grafen av stort intresse för användning inom sensorapplikationer, i studier av adsorptionsfenomen från atomer till biomolekyler. Huvudsökande är en av pionjärerna i Sverige inom forskningen på grafen växt på kiselkarbid och har använt sig av de synkrotronljusbaserade karakteriserings-metoder fotoelektron-spektroskopi (XPS, ARPES), lågenergi-elektronmikroskopi (LEEM) och fotoelektron-elektronmikroskopi (PEEM) vid MAX laboratoriet i Lund. Under 2015/2016 kommer de nuvarande lagringsringarna att stängas ner under en längre tid innan den nya MAXIV ringen är i drift. Söktrycket för att erhålla mättid är dessutom numera så högt på speciellt LEEM/PEEM strållinjen så att tillräckligt med stråltid inte längre erhålls för att kunna fortsätta att hålla sig i fronten av detta snabbt växande forskningsfält. Samarbetspartnern (Dr. Tungasmita) vid Chulalongkorn University har lång erfarenhet av materialtillväxt, främst olika nitrider, och av andra karakteriseringsmetoder och har starkt intresse av att få igång grundläggande grafenforskning vid universitetet i syfte att på sikt kunna överföra erhållen kunskap för industri-tillämpningar. Vid Siam synkrotronljus laboratoriet i Nakhon Ratchasima, Thailand, har man en LEEM/PEEM, samt en fotoelektron-spektroskopi, strålinje liknande de nuvarande vid MAX-lab. Gruppen vid Chula har frågeställningar rörande sina nitridmaterial för vilka synkrotronljusstudier bör kunna ge värdefulla svar. Därför ansöks härmed om stöd för initiering av ett samarbete mellan dessa två forskningsgrupper vid LiU och Chula, ett samarbete s Sweden Linköpings universitet The Swedish Research Council Linköpings universitet Gender Equality Aid to Environment Participatory Development/Good Governance Trade Development Aid Targeting the Objectives of the Convention on Biological Diversity Aid Targeting the Objectives of the Framework Convention on Climate Change - Mitigation Aid Targeting the Objectives of the Framework Convention on Climate Change - Adaptation Aid Targeting the Objectives of the Convention to Combat Desertification Reproductive, Maternal, Newborn and Child Health (RMNCH) Disaster Risk Reduction(DRR) Disability 282000 226000 245000 753000 Linköpings universitet 282000 Linköpings universitet 225996 Linköpings universitet 245000 Linköpings universitet SE-0-SE-29-2013-6782 Sweden Materials science can contribute significantly toward development of renewable energy technologies via providing new materials for future generation light emitting diodes (LEDs) and solar cells. In order to grasp the entire potential for the emerging transparent electronics, semiconductor materials of both - electron (n) and hole (p) type conductivity are required. Among the wide band gap semiconductors ZnO is rather developed n-type material, although its p-type conductivity is still a solid an obstacle. While NiO is oxide material with stable p-type conductivity, integration of two materials can lead to efficient p-n junction with plenty of applications. Furthermore, both materials are transparent for visible light, thus enabling contribution to emerging Transparent Electronics. In this project, we propose elaboration of both p- and n -type transparent oxides with low cost industry compatible technology. The complete characterization of structural, optical and electrical properties of the materials will be performed, aimed to obtain enhanced electrical properties and tuned transparency over a large spectral range from ultraviolet (UV) up to mid-infrared (IR). Final stage of the project will be fabrication of a hetero p-n junction for LEDs, transparent for visible light. The project will open the pathway towards the realization of transparent systems and devices and also efficient photovoltaic and solar cells for the future energy production & energy saving technologies. Transparent elektronik är en ny teknik som utnyttjar halvledare med stort bandgap för att åstadkomma osynliga optoelektroniska komponenter. Transparenta ledande oxider (TCO) med stort bandgap är lämpliga som material eftersom de både uppvisar en hög genomskinlighet och en god ledningsförmåga. Om dessa material kan växas i tunna skikt kan de användas till en mängd olika tillämpningar, t.ex. arkitektoniska fönster, solceller och optoelektriska komponenter. Vanligtvis används tunna filmer av indium-tenn-oxid (ITO) som genomskinliga elektroder för de flesta tillämpningar. Den växande marknaden för platta bildskärmar har orsakat en akut ökning av indiumkonsumtionen, vilket resulterat i att priset på indium har tiofaldigats. Det är därför viktigt att utveckla alternativa material för genomskinliga elektroder. Vidare är det av yttersta vikt att utveckla nya typer av p-dopade TCO med minst lika goda optiska och elektriska egenskaper som de befintliga n-dopade TCO. Detta skulle öppna för en ny typ av tillämpningar för transparent elektronik som inbegriper pn-övergångar och diodstrukturer. Zinkoxid (ZnO) är en halvledare med stort bandgap, 3.37 eV. ZnO är ett viktigt elektroniskt och fotoniskt material för en mängd teknologiska komponenter. Filmer av ZnO har en god genomskinlighet med mer än 93% transmission av synligt ljus. Rent ZnO är en isolator, men genom n-dopning kan materialet göras ledande med extremt låg resistivitet, ner till 10-4Ohm cm2 . Samtidigt har uppmärksamhet fokuserats på studier av filmer och nanostrukturer av ZnO som det optiskt aktiva materialet i lysdioder. Effektiv ljusemission vid rumstemperatur möjliggörs i ZnO på grund av en hög bindningsenergi hos excitonen (60 meV). ZnO är därför ett idealt material för lysdioder, men utvecklingen av lysdioder baserade på ZnO hejdas av att det ännu inte finns någon metod för stabil p-doping. Ett rimligt alternativ är att kombinera n-dopat ZnO med ett annat p-dopad material till så kallade heterostruktur. Bland de p-dopade oxiderna är NiO ett lovande material som också är genomskinligt för synligt ljus och det har ett stort bandgap (3.6 ? 4 eV). Konduktiviteten i NiO är kopplad till defekter såsom Ni-vakanser, interstitiellt syre eller dopatomer såsom litium. En heterostruktur av tunna filmer eller nanostrukturer av dessa två material skulle möjliggöra en genomskinlig pn-övergång som är nyckeln till elektroniska komponenter. En sådan heterostruktur skulle med fördel kunna använda i både lysdioder och i genomskinliga solceller. Utvecklingen av dessa material skulle därför väsentligt bidra till en hållbar utveckling av samhället i form av förnybar energi och energieffektivisering. Med denna ansökan skulle vi inleda ett samarbete som för samman forskare vid Institutionen för Fysik, Kemi, och Biologi vid Linköpings Universitet (LiU, Sverige) och Solid State Physics Department vid National Research Center (NRC, Egypten). Betydande synergieffekter förväntas i form av forskningsinsatser inom dessa institutioner, och detta projekt syftar till att kanalisera en del av arbetet för att uppnå gemensamma mål. Båda grupperna har kompetens inom tillväxt och karaktärisering av halvledare, men det är främst den komplementära expertisen och den alternativa forskningsutrustningen som ska utnyttjas i detta projekt, för utbyte av idéer och material prover med syfte till gemensamma publikationer och workshops.

Most of these applications use anaerobes that are adapted to grow in non-extreme environments, with the exception of acidophiles - anaerobes that are adapted to grow at acidic pH. This project aims to isolate anaerobes from other neglected extreme environments using techniques such as microdroplet. One of the major obstacle in isolation of anaerobes using the traditional agar palate isolation technique is that they are slow growers. Few anaerobes that relatively grow faster than others suppress the growth of other anaerobes making the isolation of the very slow grower anaerobes almost impossible. Moreover, agar plates can dry when incubated for long time. On the other hand, the microdroplets immobilize cells separately which can be packed in column reactor which allows continuous feeding. In this case each cell will grow independent of the other cell and then beads will sorted out. Anaerobes isolated in this way will be studied if they produce platform chemicals from renewable resources. Moreover, isolates will be screened fro production of novel enzymes that can be of interest for biorefinery application. Vissa mikroorganismer kan i frånvaro av syre (s.k. anaeroba organismer) omvandla enkla sockerarter till alkoholer, organiska syror mm. Dessa kemikalier utgör startmaterial för den kemiska industrin och man kan producera väldigt många olika produkter från dessa startmaterial. Hittills har hela denna del av kemin varit baserad på olja, men I takt med att man försöker hitta hållbara lösningar ur klimatsynvinkel så är det attraktivt att försöka basera verksamheten på förnyelsebara råvaror, dvs biomassa. I detta sammanhang kommer de anaeroba bakterierna att spela en viktig roll. Tyvärr är dessa organismer relativt dåligt undersökta eftersom det ibland kan vara svårt att arbeta med organismerna helt utan tillgång till syre. De anaeroba organismerna representerar en stor potential, men den måste studeras närmare. Detta project iniktas på att isolera nya organismer, studera dessas egenskaper och när intressanta bakterier identifierats utnyttja den för fortsatta studier. En del av de anaeroba bakterierna växer långsamt och har svårt att klara sig I konkurrensen när man gör isoleringsförsök. Man kan jämföra med situationen I en grupp personer som sitter och diskuterar. Några är dominanta medan andra är ganska tysta och inte kommer till tals. Man får lyssna på dem en och en, då inser man att även tysta individer har mycket att erbjuda. För bakterierna under isoleringssituationen kommer de snabbväxande att ta över och inte ge långsamväxande en chans. Vi avser att ge alla organismer en chans, det görs genom att man sätter varje baktericell i en ?isoleringscell? genom att göra mikrodroppar med i genomsnitt endast en baktericell per droppe. När dropparna stelnar sitter cellen skyddad i sin mikrosfär och kan växa och föröka sig utan att konkureras ut av andra celler.

Notably, there is a profound increase in prevalence of T2D amongst urban black South Africans (SA), particularly women. We hypothesize that lifestyle factors influence metabolic pathways, thereby increasing the risk for T2D. In the caregivers of the Birth to Twenty (Bt20) cohort women (n=1,251), from the urban township of Soweto in Johannesburg, SA, underwent extensive testing (body composition, socioeconomic status, fasting blood samples) in 2003 and 2013/4. Based on analyses of fasting glucose collected in 2013/4, we will classify women as having normal glucose tolerance (NGT), impaired fasting glucose (IFG) or T2D. Eighty women per group (n=240) will undergo an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) to confirm their diabetic status. Longitudinal metabolomics analyses will be performed on fasting plasma samples from 2003 and 2015, and their 30 and 120 min OGTT blood samples from 2015. We aim to i) identify metabolites and metabolic pathways that predict progression from NGT to IGT and T2D, ii) identify metabolites and metabolic pathways associated with insulin sensitivity and secretion in black SA women and iii) determine whether lifestyle factors can modify these findings. I dag har fler än 370 miljoner människor diabetes och de kommande åren beräknas denna siffra öka kraftigt där merparten av ökningen utgörs av typ 2 diabetes (T2D). Diabetes medför en kraftigt ökad risk för följdsjukdomar, inte minst hjärtkärlsjukdom. Detta innebär nedsättningar i livskvalitet för de drabbade och stora samhällskostnader, direkta och indirekta. Det som får fler att insjukna i T2D, enligt den Internationella Diabetesfederationen, är främst livsstilsförändringar och då specifikt en ökning av fett- och sockerrik kost i kombination med låg fysisk aktivitet. Den största och snabbaste ökningen av T2D sker i låg- och medel-inkomstländer, i regioner som Afrika, Asien och Stillahavsområdet. En förklaring till detta fenomen ligger i de livsstilsförändringear som äger rum bland folkgrupper som lämnar en traditionell livsstil i samband med flytt från landsbygd till stad. I Afrika är T2D mer förekommande hos den svarta befolkningen än hos den vita. Ökningen av T2D är särskilt påtaglig bland kvinnor. Vi vet också, från studier i USA och Sydafrika, att traditionella riskfaktorer för T2D skiljer sig åt mellan vita och svarta. Det är därför av stor vikt att hitta faktorer som kan förutspå risk för T2D hos svarta sydafrikanska kvinnor. Vår hypotes är att de nämnda livsstilsfaktorerna påverkar olika metabola vägar och därmed ökar risken för förstadium till och fullt utvecklad T2D. Vi har en unik möjlighet att analysera denna hypotes i den största longitudinella studien i Afrika, the Birth to 20 chohort, som startades 1990 och inkluderar 1,251 Sydafrikanska kvinnor från ett urbant område i Soweto, Johannesburg. Sedan 2003 har noggranna tester kontinuerligt utförts i denna kohort (kroppssammansättning, socialt status, fastande blodprov). Vi kommer att välja ut 240 kvinnor som i dagsläget är uppdelat utifrån insulinkänslighetsnivåer; normal, störd sockeromsättning och T2D. Kvinnorna kommer att genomgå ett glukosbelastningstest för att fastställa insulinkänslighet inklusive eventuell förekomst av diabetes Detaljerade mätningar görs av kroppssammansättning, fysisk aktivitet, kost och andra relevanta kliniska mätningar. Fastande blodprov från 2003 och 2015 samt prover i samband med glukosbelastning kommer att analyseras. Vi avser att mäta tusentals små molekyler i blodet, s k metabolomik, som sammantaget ger en god reflektion av metabolismen, och utvärdera samband mellan dessa molekyler och livsstilsfaktorer. Målet är att identifiera faktorer och processer som visar på risk för utveckling av störd sockeromsättning och T2D. Vi hoppas med detta arbete möjliggöra förebyggande åtgärder innan uppkomst av sjukdom, såväl i denna population som globalt. En tidig upptäckt är nyckel till att kunna arbeta förebyggande och på sikt minska lidande och sjukvårdskostnader i denna resurssvaga grupp. Ohälsa och faktorer som leder till för tidig död i större utsträckning hos fattiga människor är ett hot mot en rättvis globalt hållbar utveckling. Detta är ett uttalat prioriterat område inom den svenska utvecklingspolitiken. Detta projekt möjliggör för forskare att undersöka, till T2D relevanta, livsstilsfaktorer och därtill associerade metabola rubbningar i en underpriviligerad folkgrupp med hög förekomst av T2D. Mer än hälften av kvinnorna i denna studie saknar toalett och rinnande vatten i sin bostad och 44 % har ingen gymnasial utbildning. Projektet är ett internationellt samarbete mellan forskare vid Umeå Universitet i Sverige och forskare vid University of Witwatersrand i Sydafrika. Detta samarbete möjliggör ett värdefullt utbyte av expertis rörande sjukdomsmekanismer vid T2D.

Notably, there is a profound increase in prevalence of T2D amongst urban black South Africans (SA), particularly women. We hypothesize that lifestyle factors influence metabolic pathways, thereby increasing the risk for T2D. In the caregivers of the Birth to Twenty (Bt20) cohort women (n=1,251), from the urban township of Soweto in Johannesburg, SA, underwent extensive testing (body composition, socioeconomic status, fasting blood samples) in 2003 and 2013/4.

In this proposal, we take advantage of a well-established collaboration with Bangladesh to explore the role of diabetes in the pathogenesis and progression of chronic TB disease. We will use patients samples collected in well-designed clinical studies and advanced immunological techniques to carefully characterize macrophage function as well as the behaviour and relevance of peripheral lymphocyte responses involved in TB and how these are affected by concomitant diabetes disease. Our research constellation has also developed novel concepts for immunodiagnosis and immunotherapy of TB that will be evaluated in patients with diabetes. Here, a novel B cell test will be used as a diagnostic and prognostic biomarker of active TB in patient cohorts recruited in a high-prevalence setting in Dhaka, Bangladesh. In a clinical trial, we will also study if novel inducers of antimicrobial peptides, phenylbutyrate and vitamin D, can restore immune function and insulin sensitivity in diabetic patients with TB. Our ambition is to promote knowledge and technology transfer between the collaborating institutions, partly by local PhD and postdoc training, to gain synergistic effects on the discovery of clinically relevant targets that could be used to improve medical management and general health of patients with TB and diabetes. Tuberkulos (TB) hör tillsammans med HIV och malaria till världens största infektionssjukdomar som dödar många miljoner människor varje år, fram för allt i utvecklingsländer i Afrika och Asien. På sistone har också andra sjukdomar som främst betraktas som välfärdssjuksomar ökat markant i många av dessa utvecklingsländer. Dit hör diabetes som är en metabolisk sjukdom som resulterar i en minskad insulinkänslighet. Diabetes är en viktig riskfaktor för att drabbas av lungtuberkulos och diabetes patienter har en tre gånger så hög risk att utveckla aktiv TB jämfört med friska individer. Det är troligt att diabetes leder till ett försvagat immunsvar, men få studier görs för att bringa klarhet i de patogena mekanismerna som leder till denna ökning. För att kunna förbättra diagnos och behandling av TB också hos patienter med diabetes, måste vi först lära oss om mekanismerna kring uppkomst och utveckling av infektion och sjukdom för att försöka hjälpa patienterna till ett bättre liv. Vårt projekt syftar till studera immunsvaret vid TB/diabetes infektion samt att utveckla ny diagnostik och behandling av TB/diabetes patienter. Vår forskargrupp har etablerat ett starkt forskningsnätverk kring TB genom att vi samarbetar med forskare och kliniker i Bangladesh, där förekomsten av både TB och diabetes är mycket vanlig. Tillgången till TB/DM patienter är stor och därför är det lättare att genomföra större kliniska studier på utvalda patientgrupper. I det här projektet tänker vi utforska ett nytt diagnostiskt test som bygger på våra fynd att TB patienter har en kraftigt förhöjd nivå av antikroppsproducerande celler i blodet, speciellt vid allvarig sjukdom. Vi kommer att studera antal, utseende och funktion hos dessa antikroppsproducerande celler hos TB/diabetes patienter jämfört med relevanta kontrollgrupper. Vi planerar vidare att använda avancerad metodik för att karaktärisera fenotyp och funktion hos olika typer av immunceller i perifert blod, före och efter behandling med läkemedel mot TB för att kartlägga varför kroppen inte kan kontrollera sjukdom framför allt om man har både TB och diabetes. Vår förhoppning är att vi ska hitta unika kombinationer av celler och molekyler som är specifikt uttryckta vid TB infektion och se hur dessa immunsvar förändras hos diabetes patienter med TB. I en klinisk prövning i Bangladesh, kommer vi också att prova om behandling med två preparat, fenylbutyrat och vitamin D, kan samverkar för att stärka det antimikrobiella immunsvaret samt öka insulinkänsligheten i kroppen och förhindra sjukdomsförloppet. Vi har för avsikt att närmare studera hur dessa preparat reglerar immunsvaret och speciellt produktionen av små antimikrobiella peptider som har visats vara viktiga för avdödning av TB bakterier och därför liknas vid kroppens eget antibiotikum. Våra upptäckter tyder på att TB såväl som diabetes patienter har en brist på antimikrobiella peptider vilket kan göra det lättare för bakterierna att invadera lungan hos patienter som lider av båda dessa sjukdomar. Vår målsättning är att motverka denna nedreglering och förstärka vårt skydd mot TB infektion genom att öka produktionen av dessa antibiotiska peptider i våra slemhinnor. Vår förhoppning är att resultaten från projektet ska bidra till ökad kunskap kring immunsvaret vid TB och hur detta förändras hos patienter med diabetes samt hur effektiv diagnostik och behandling bör utvecklas i framtiden. Positiva resultat från vår forskning bidrar direkt till patientnyttan, eftersom en förbättrad TB diagnostik samt behandling kommer minska spridning av sjukdom och leda till en snabbare klinisk återhämtning.

Worst affected are poor people living in vulnerable communities in tropical and sub-tropical regions. Vector control by insecticides is the dominant way to combat and prevent transmission of mosquito-borne diseases. Due to globalization, environmental changes and increased insecticide resistance, there is an urgent need for new approaches and strategies for efficient vector control. This proposal aims to design, synthesize and develop multiple novel chemical classes of insecticides for control of Aedes aegypti (transmits e.g. dengue and chikungunya) and Anopheles gambiae (transmits malaria). We will target a form of acetylcholinesterase (AChE1) not present in vertebrates, and identify diverse selective chemical starting points by high throughput screening (HTS). Evaluation of a performed HTS targeting mosquito AChE1 has shown promising results. We have identified several classes of substances that are selective for the mosquito-form over human AChE. These multiple chemical starting points will be synthetically explored and optimized into insecticides. Early on in the discovery process we will include, in addition to the target-specific endpoints, response estimates that address human safety, environmental fate and effect, resistance sensitivity, and cost of goods. Mosquito testing, including laboratory testing and field studies, will be performed in Kenya. Nya insekticider för hållbar och effektiv bekämpning av sjukdomsbärande myggor Ett stort antal virus- och parasitsjukdomar sprids mellan människor eller från djur till människa av blodsugande insekter som till exempel myggor. Myggorna får i sig den sjukdomsframkallande mikroorganismen när de suger blod från en infekterad värd och överför senare infektionen till nästa individ som den biter. Myggorna är då så kallade vektorer för sjukdomen. Varje år infekteras mer än en miljard människor och mer än en miljon människor dör av vektorburna sjukdomar som malaria, dengue och chikungunya. Värst drabbade är fattiga människor som lever under svåra förhållanden, främst i tropiska och subtropiska regioner. De individer som löper störst risk att drabbas är små barn, gravida kvinnor, människor med HIV och de som är drabbade av naturkatastrofer och humanitära nödsituationer. Det stora antalet infekterade individer leder också till en ökad fattigdom på grund av medicinska kostnader och att de drabbade blir svaga och orkeslösa och därmed inte längre kan arbeta och bidra till familjeförsörjningen. Bekämpning av vektorburna sjukdomar har därför en central roll för fattigsdomsbekämpning och ekonomisk utveckling i låg- och medelinkomst länder. Klimatförändringar och ökad globalisering har medfört en ökning i både antal och utbredning av sjukdomsspridande myggor. Detta innebär en ökad risk för epidemiska utbrott och en spridning av myggor till tempererade regioner. Till exempel så har myggan som sprider dengue nu påträffats i 20 europeiska länder. En effektiv metod för bekämpning av myggburna sjukdomar är vektorkontroll med hjälp av insekticider. Tyvärr har det utvecklats stammar av sjukdomsspridande myggor som är okänsliga mot samtliga kemiska klasser av insekticider som kan användas idag. Myggorna har utvecklat resistens mot insekticiderna. Detta utgör ett allvarligt hot mot kampen för att bekämpa sjukdomar som malaria, framför allt i Afrika. Ökningen av utbredning och antal sjukdomsspridande myggor, tillsammans med en ökad insekticidresistens på grund av ensidig vektorkontroll, har frambringat ett akut behov av alternativa strategier och tillvägagångssätt for bekämpning av sjudomsspridande myggor. Målet med detta forskningsprogam är att forska fram nya insekticider som specifikt angriper myggor som sprider bland annat malaria, dengue och chikungunya. De nya insekticiderna ska förhindra funktionen av ett för myggan livsnödvändigt protein, ett protein som inte finns hos ryggradsdjur. Vi har testat ett stort antal organiska substanser och upptäckt nya substanser som är lämpliga startpunkter för vidare utveckling till insekticider. Dessa startpunkter kommer att undersökas, modifieras och optimeras med experimentella och datorbaserade tekniker. I utvecklingsprocessen av insekticiderna kommer vi att utföra ett flertal proteinspecifika tester, men vi kommer även tidigt i processen att inkludera hälsoaspekter, miljöpåverkan, resistenskänslighet och framställningskostnad av insekticiderna. Försök på myggor kommer att genomföras i laboratoriemiljö och genom fältstudier i Kenya.

Our previous research from this population indicates high levels of HIV/Chlamydia (30%/19%) and transactional sex (30%), low frequency of condom-use (24,5) and discrimination being a barrier for accessing HIV testing services (14,8%). Due to stigma, many MSM turned directly to pharmacists to purchase STI treatment, which resulted in inappropriate diagnoses and treatments. Unique data on increasing HIV/health care for MSM and reducing discrimination will be collected through assessing the impact of provision of access to safe testing and treatment; training pharmacists and drugstores as front-line providers of STI treatment; provision of human sexuality education to health care providers and nursing students to reduce homophobia within health care; and use of patient navigators for MSM with HIV disease in treatment. The findings generated by this project will be used to inform future research and interventions, which address the health of MSM, and other vulnerable groups, in highly discriminatory settings. Män som har sex med män (MSM) tillhör några utav de grupper som drabbats hårdast utav HIV epidemin. I många länder minskar prevalensen hos den generella befolkningen medan den samtidigt ökar bland MSM gruppen (i USA har HIV prevalensen ökat med 8 % per år sedan 2001). I slutet av 2011 hade 93 av 196 länder inte rapporterat förekomsten av HIV bland MSM personer under de senaste fem åren. Majoriteten utav dessa länder finns i Mellanöstern och Afrika där homosexualitet oftast är olagligt. De enstaka undersökningar som gjorts påvisar höga HIV siffror bland MSM personer och i vissa fall att de har en större utsatthet för HIV jämfört med heterosexuella män (eller män som inte har sex med andra män). Samtidigt visar forskningen att MSM personer skräms bort från sjukvården på grund av kränkande och diskriminerande bemötande, ibland med utpressning och hot om våld som följd. Det här leder till ytterligare ohälsa för en redan utsatt grupp. Det finns således en kunskapslucka i de länder som drabbats hårdast utav HIV epidemin. Afrika söder om Sahara beräknas vara hem till 34 % av den globala HIV smittan. Trots detta finns endast ett fåtal studier som undersökt hur MSM gruppen drabbats. Där fallstudier gjorts konstateras höga siffror bland grupperna- 21 % i Senegal resp. 43 % i Kenya. Men när det gäller nationella epidemiologiska studier som undersöker HIV prevalenser, sjukdomsmönster och faktorer bakom risktagande bland MSM personer är dessa mycket begränsade i sin omfattning på den Afrikanska kontinenten. Tanzania har en nationell HIV prevalens på 5,7 % och de studier som gjorts bland MSM uppvisar höga siffror av oskyddat sex och behov av grundläggande HIV interventioner. Dessa är dock baserade på små urval och har inte kunnat generaliseras vilket begränsar kunskapen kring HIV epidemin bland dessa populationer. Lunds Universitet (LU) kommer tillsammans med University of Dar es Salaam (UDSM) och Muhimbili University of Health and Allied Sciences (MUHAS) i Tanzania att inleda ett treårigt samarbetsprojekt för att testa och utvärdera en särskilt framtagen modell, SPEND modellen. Denna syftar till att minska sexuellt överförbara infektioner och förbättra tillgången till behandling bland MSM i Tanzania. Modellen baseras på forskargruppens tidigare undersökningar i landet kring MSM och HIV/STI (år 2010). I dessa fann vi höga nivåer av HIV (30%) och klamydia (19%), lågt användande av kondom (24,5%) och hög förekomst utav prostitution (30%). Vi kunde även se att många MSM uppgav en motvilja för att besöka sjukvården för HIV test och/eller HIV behandling på grund av rädsla för diskriminering och trakasserier (14,8%). En stor del utav de MSM som intervjuades gick direkt till apoteken för att införskaffa medicin med feldoseringar och resistens som resultat. Vi kommer därför att fokusera på fem komponenter; trygg och säker behandling; utbildning och involvering utav apotekspersonal; utbildning av vårdpersonal; navigering av patienter i hälsosystemet vid HIV-testning och vård (samt diskrimineringsbekämpning bland studenter inom folkhälso- och vårdprogrammen på två universitet i Tanzania. Varje komponent kommer att utvärderas genom ett antal studier som mäter dess effekt för att minska sexuellt överförbara infektioner bland MSM och minska stigma och diskriminering inom vården. Sammantaget förväntas detta leda till en ökad förståelse för hur MSM kan involveras i kampen mot HIV i en miljö med höga förekomster av homofobi och fattigdom. LU har lång erfarenhet utav forskning av sexuell och reproduktiv hälsa bland utsatta grupper både i Sverige och i låginkomstländer och UDSM och MUHAS har sedan HIV epidemins upptäckt i landet arbetat med epidemiologiska undersökningar.

Our project aim to understand the impact of worms and worm proteins on development and control of visceral leishmaniasis (VL) and determine if de-worming can enhance immune responses and facilitate clearance of Leishmania donovani and thereby improve the efficacy of already existing drugs anti-leishmanials. We want to test this experimentally and in a clinical trial. Worms, being potent inducers of Th2 and regulatory responses, can be envisaged to affect the ability of the host to respond to Th1 controlled infections (e.g. Leishmania). The drugs (e.g. pentavalent antimonials, SbV) commonly used against leishmaniasis depend on host residual immunity to clear parasite infection. Thus, boosting Th1 immunity may enhance therapeutic efficacy, as suggested by combined therapy with the Th1 cytokine IFNg and SbV, which promoted parasite clearance over SbV monotherapy. Human VL is suitable as a model for a human disease where deworming can be envisaged to have impact. VL patients are hospitalized and the treatment time is manageable 15-30 days. Analysis of proteins from human worms may allow identification of immune modulatory proteins specific for human worms, which may be a contributing or underlying factor to immune failure in patients developing VL disease. Targeting such molecules may be used to treatments worms and to enhance control of co-infection. Vi vill förstå om och hur maskar kan påverka sjukdomsutveckling av parasitsjukdomen leishmaniasis och undersöka om man genom att avmaska kan förbättra effektiviteten av läkemedel mot leishmaniasis. Leishmaniasis är sjukdomar som orsakas av encelliga parasiter i familjen Leishmania. Den svåraste formen ? visceral leishmaniais eller kala-azar, där lever, mjälte och benmärg infekteras, är nästan alltid dödlig utan behandling. Leishmaniasis drabbar de allra fattigaste och sjukdomen är klassad som ?förbisedd? av WHO, vilket innebär att de resurser som går till forskning och kontroll åtgärder inte står i relation till det problem som sjukdomen orsakar. Behandling av kala-azar är mycket kostsam för den fattiga befolkning som drabbas. Bara läkemedel kostar 300-350 USD, vilket är mer än en årsinkomst för många av dem som insjuknar. Utöver detta tillkommer sjukhusvård och bortfall av inkomst. Billiga interventioner som kan korta ner sjukhusvistelsen eller kostnader för läkemedel är således eftertraktade. Behandlingar som stärker individens eget immunsvar har visat sig kunna förbättra behandling av kala-azar, tyvärr är dessa biologiska terapier mycket kostsamma och idag inte genomförbara för mer än experimentella kliniska studier. Maskinfektioner är globalt sett mycket vanliga och polyparasitism är snarare norm än undantag för människor som lever under dåliga sanitära förhållanden. Över 1 miljard människor beräknas vara infekterade med en eller flera tarmlevande maskar. Maskinfektioner är sällan dödliga, men kan leda till undernäring, försenad utveckling och kan ha en stor påverkan på kroppens immunförsvar. Kroniska maskinfektioner genererar en typ av immunsvar som kallas T hjälpar (Th) 2 svar och ett regulatoriskt immunsvar. Dessa immunsvar spelar en viktig roll för att kontrollera mask infektioner och för att begränsa inflammation, men både Th2 svaret och det regulatoriska svaret kan motverka en annan typ av immunsvar som kallas Th1. Th1 svar är viktiga för att kontrollera vissa andra mikroorganismer t.ex. Leishmania och mykobakterier. De vanligaste läkemedlen mot Leishmania behöver samarbeta med kroppens immunförsvar för att kunna göra sig av med parasiten. Utifrån denna vetskap kan man förutspå att en kala-azar patient med maskinfektion kommer att svara sämre vid behandling en ?maskfri? person. Vi tror därför att avmaskning kan stärka patientens Th1 svar och därmed förbättra behandlingen av visceral leishmaniasis. Human visceral leishmaniasis är en lämplig sjukdom för att testa effekter av avmaskning och om avmaskning kan förbättra behandling av en sekundär sjukdom. Patienterna är intagna på sjukhus under hela behandlingstiden som är mellan 15-30 dagar och är således lätta att följa upp. Tiden är också sådan att den, utan att vara allt för lång, är realistisk för att upptäcka mätbara skillnader i parasitmängd. Molekylärbiologiska metoder (PCR) gör det möjligt att mäta parasiter i små mängder av blod och vi kan på så sätt kontinuerligt följa effekten av behandling. För att förstå hur maskar kan påverkar vårt immunsvar vill vi samla in maskar från av-maskade människor, isolera proteiner och studera maskproteinernas immun-hämmande egenskaper på celler som infekterats eller stimulerats med Leishmania eller andra antigen. Maskmolekylerna kan också utgöra mål för nya maskmediciner, men även fungera i behandling av inflammatoriska sjukdomar.

We here suggest that rosetting enhances the invasion of the parasite into attached- rosetting- erythrocytes since we have found associations between the multiplication rate of the parasites, rosetting and peripheral parasitemia of Ugandan malaria patients. We were however not able to prove this at the molecular level with in vitro propagated strains using antibodies to the identified ligands. As a consequence we suggest to explore freshly isolated parasites (including merozoites) in detail, identify the red blood receptors used, ligands as well as serum proteins employed by the parasite at the level of the merozoite as well as the iRBC. Aims Aim 1. Isolate parasites of patients with different invasion characteristics Aim 2. Determine involved parasite ligands and receptors Aim 3. Understand merozoite invasion as a function of rosetting The purpose of the suggested work is to explore in what way Plasmodium falciparum erythrocyte rosetting enhances parasite invasion to initiate severe malaria. In an extended purpose we also aim to further the capacity for research in Uganda through the eduction of PhD students and post-docs, writing and presenting publications as well as the running of courses. Further, this will generate knowledge essential for the populations exposed to malaria. Totalt 225 miljoner insjuknar varje år i malaria och 1 miljoner individer avlider i sjukdomen. Den drabbar hela det globala samhället men det är de fattiga befolkningarna i Afrika, Asien och Syd-Amerika som är de mest utsatta. I det här projektet skall vi undersöka hur malaria parasiten Plasmodium falciparum uttrycker ett relativt konserverat äggviteämne som binder till sig rödablodkroppar trots att den också har tillskansat sig överlevnads fördelar genom att ständigt ändra sitt yttre, ständigt ändra generna i sitt inre. Parasitytan består av ett fåtal äggviteämnen som utbytes i en kapplöpning med immunsystemet. Det möjliggör för parasiten att överleva mitt i blodomloppet och spridas vidare till andra individer med hjälp av myggor. Vi har dock nyligen upptäckt att parasite också har en Akilleus häl; den använder sig till stor omfattning av ett och samma äggviteämne för att vidhäfta mot röda blodkroppar. Detta är av vikt för parasiten så att den kan växa till- och dela sig snabbare, den har sina egna rödblodkroppar aldeles inpå och kan förbereda dem för invasionen. Vi skall undersöka hur allmängiltigt detta fynd är genom att analysera en lång rad nya parasiter från olika kontinenter för dessas kapacitet att dela sig och invadera nya röda blodkroppar och undersöka om denna kapacitet är korrelererad till förmågan att binda till sig oinfekterade rödablodkroppar. Sammantaget skall vi alltså studera hur parasiten överlever genom att uttrycka ett relativt sätt konserverat äggviteämne som har kapaciteten att binda till sig oinfekterade rödablodkroppar som en överlevnadsfördel.

Within the healthcare sector there is a growing emphasis on Information Communication Technology (ICT) services to provide clients with easier access to information, self-evaluation, and self-management. ICT-supported programs among patients? home environment are also recommended when there are long distances to the health care specialists. This research project will enhance our understanding of how modern technology, i.e. mobile phones, can be integrated and used in a rehabilitation program aiming to provide better accessibility and affordability in order to facilitate functioning in activities of daily living (ADL) and social participation after stroke. This project will be conducted in Uganda and is built on an ongoing Randomised Controlled Trial (RCT) evaluating a client-centered ADL-intervention for persons with stroke and their families in Sweden. The Medical Research Council guidelines for complex interventions will be used to identify the evidence base, to develop and modelling an intervention and evaluate the new model in a feasibility study conducted in African contexts by using a RCT design. Syftet med detta projekt är att utveckla och implementera en modell för mobil-telefonbaserad och klient-centrerad rehabilitering efter stroke vars mål är att understödja aktivitet och delaktighet i vardagslivet för personer med stroke och deras familjer. Projektet bygger på en svensk modell för en klient-centrerad ADL-intervention (Aktiviteter i det Dagliga Livet) efter stroke som nu utvärderas i en randomiserad kontrollerad studie genomförd vid Karolinska Institutet (KI). Denna intervention ska i detta projekt kulturanpassas och modifieras så att den kan integreras i en mobiltelefon-applikation som utvecklas och utvärderas i Uganda. Telerehabilitering rekommenderas när personer med stroke och deras familjer bor långt ifrån rehabiliteringskliniker eller saknar tillgängliga transportmedel, vilket ofta är fallet i Uganda. Under de senaste åren har mobiltelefonanvändningen i Uganda ökat kraftigt och mobiltelefonen är ofta den enda möjligheten till kommunikation mellan medlemmar i en familj som bor långt ifrån varandra. Tele-rehabilitering som inkluderar mobiltelefoner kan användas för att öka tillgängligheten till vård och rehabilitering till ett lägre pris. Idag saknas rehabiliteringsprogram och forskning kring rehabilitering efter stroke i Uganda men det saknas även internationell forskning kring hur mobiltelefoner kan användas som redskap i rehabiliteringen efter en stroke. Detta projekt kan därför generera nya och värdefulla kunskaper om hur mobiltelefoner kan användas i vård och rehabilitering efter stroke. Projektet bygger vidare på ett samarbete som pågått i åtta år mellan arbetsterapeut-utbildningarna vid KI, Stockholm och Paramedical Training Schools i Kampala, Uganda inom ramen för Sida Linneus-Palme utbytesprogram för lärare och studenter. Samarbetet har resulterat i forskningssamarbete inom detta projekt och i projektgruppen ingår en ugandisk doktorand som är registrerad vid KI och en svensk doktorand. Detta projekt är ett systerprojekt till forskningsprogrammet, Life After Stroke -3 (LAS) på KI där det finns liknande pågående studier vilket innebär att vi kan göra kulturella jämförelser mellan Sverige och Uganda då vi använder jämförbar vetenskaplig design och metodik. Projektet genomförs i två faser och är indelat i fem olika delstudier som använder både kvalitativa och kvantitativa metoder vilket är rekommenderat i denna typ av icke-farmakologisk interventionsstudie med hög komplexitet. I fas I översätts och kulturanpassas ett standardiserat undersökningsinstrument (Stroke Impact Scale, SIS) som prövas i en studie som omfattar 150 personer med stroke i Uganda. Nästa steg är att utveckla en mobiltelefon-applikation för SIS i samarbete med Institutionerna för datavetenskap vid Stockholms universitet och Makerereuniversitetet i Uganda. I fas II utvecklas och utvärderas den mobiltelefon stödjande klientcentrerade ADL-interventionen (MCADL) i en pilotstudie (RCT-design) som inkluderar en interventionsgrupp (MCADL) (n=25) och en kontrollgrupp som erbjuds konventionell rehabilitering (n=25). SIS används som utvärderingsinstrument och kvalitativa intervjuer genomförs med personer med stroke, familjemedlemmar och rehabiliteringspersonal i syfte att beskriva upplevelser under rehabiliteringsprocessen. Projektets förväntade betydelse: Projektet kommer att generera ny kunskap om hur mobiltelefoner kan användas i rehabiliteringen efter stroke vilket i sin tur kan bidra till att öka tillgängligheten och minska kostnaderna för dessa rehabiliteringsinsatser. Idag saknas rehabiliteringsprogram för personer med stroke i Uganda. Projektet kommer att innebära en direkt implementering av forskningsbaserad kunskap i denna vårdsektor i Uganda men kommer även att bidra till nya forskningsbaserade modeller för mobiltelefon-användning som kan implementeras i ett nationellt och internationellt sammanhang.

Within the healthcare sector there is a growing emphasis on Information Communication Technology (ICT) services to provide clients with easier access to information, self-evaluation, and self-management. ICT-supported programs among patients? home environment are also recommended when there are long distances to the health care specialists. This research project will enhance our understanding of how modern technology, i.e. mobile phones, can be integrated and used in a rehabilitation program aiming to provide better accessibility and affordability in order to facilitate functioning in activities of daily living (ADL) and social participation after stroke. This project will be conducted in Uganda and is built on an ongoing Randomised Controlled Trial (RCT) evaluating a client-centered ADL-intervention for persons with stroke and their families in Sweden. The Medical Research Council guidelines for complex interventions will be used to identify the evidence base, to develop and modelling an intervention and evaluate the new model in a feasibility study conducted in African contexts by using a RCT design. Syftet med detta projekt är att utveckla och implementera en modell för mobil-telefonbaserad och klient-centrerad rehabilitering efter stroke vars mål är att understödja aktivitet och delaktighet i vardagslivet för personer med stroke och deras familjer. Projektet bygger på en svensk modell för en klient-centrerad ADL-intervention (Aktiviteter i det Dagliga Livet) efter stroke som nu utvärderas i en randomiserad kontrollerad studie genomförd vid Karolinska Institutet (KI). Denna intervention ska i detta projekt kulturanpassas och modifieras så att den kan integreras i en mobiltelefon-applikation som utvecklas och utvärderas i Uganda. Telerehabilitering rekommenderas när personer med stroke och deras familjer bor långt ifrån rehabiliteringskliniker eller saknar tillgängliga transportmedel, vilket ofta är fallet i Uganda.

Ifall undernäring och tuggande av betelnötter sammanfaller finns risken för samverkande negativa effekter. Den här studien genomförs på landsbygden i Bangladesh i ett landsbygdsområde där ett hälsoövervakningssystem möjliggör komplexa uppföljningsstudier över tid. Målsättningen är att utvärdera hälsokonsekvenserna av tuggande av betelnötter under graviditet för modern och för barnet.

Den gravida kvinnans nutritionsstatus kommer att mätas (vikt, längd, kroppssammansättning, hudveck, omfångsmått över tid) och metabola markörer (insulin, glukos, blodfetter, blodtryck), fostrets tillväxt med hjälp av upprepade ultraljud, graviditetsutfall, kroppsmått vid födelsen av barnet, barnets tillväxt över tid (vikt, längd, hudveck, omfångsmått). Vi kommer att analysera om tuggande av betelnötter påverkar biomarkörer (vitamin D, vitamin B12, folat, och inflammationsmarkörer) i blodprov under graviditet, vid förlossningen (navelsträngsblod) och hos barnet under spädbarnsåret.

An increased in efficacy, as well as decreased selection of resistance associated alleles is expected at arm1. 3- Finally, the output of the trial will be re-analysed with reference methods (PCR-RFLP, direct PCR amplicon sequencing) for the post-hoc evaluation of the specificity and sensitivity of the device in the field conditions Minst en miljon människor, nästan alla små barn, dör varje år av malaria. Et litet antal kombinationsterapier, kollektivt kallade ACT (artemisinin combination therapy), utgör det centrala vapnet mot sjukdomen. Den mest använda ACT behandlingen i Afrika är Artemether-Lumefantrine (AL), som lanserades mycket framgångrikt för mindre än tio år sedan. Även om behandlingen fortfarande är effektiv, är det tydligt att malariaparasiten nu hittar vägar att undkomma behandlingens verkningar - resistens börjar uppkomma. Ny forskning har visat att en mutation i en gen men namnet pfmdr1 (P. falciparum multidrug resistance 1) påverkar behandlingseffekten av AL. Genen kodar för en transportör, ett protein som transporterar läkemedel i parasiten. Mutationen sker i aminosyreposition 86, vilken gör att aminosyran förändras från tyrosin (Y) till aspargin (N). Med N mutationen blir parasiten mindre känslig för AL. I det här projektet vill vi utveckla och utvärdera en ny teknik ? en liten analysapparat som snabbt kan analysera den infekterande parasitens genetiska karakteristika innan behandling sätts in. Apparaten bryter snabbt ner blodcellerna, extraherar DNAt och amplifierar en liten del av det DNA som kodar för position 86. De resulterande DNA bitarna skickas genom ett system av nanotrådar som emitterar olika ström styrkor när det interagerar med DNA kodande för N respektive Y. Hela proceduren tar 20 minuter. Apparaten är tänkt att kosta ca 300 ? och varje analys 1?, lika mycket som en ACT behandling. Analysen kommer att ge information till sjukvårdspersonalen om huruvida parasiterna som infekterat patienten är av N eller Y typ. Förutom kunskap om parasitens känslighet för AL, är analysen viktig i ytterligare ett avseende. Parasiter med genvarianten som kodar för N är mer känslig för en annan viktig ACT, Artesunat-Amodiaquin (ASAQ). Kunskapen om vilken aminosyra som finns i position 86 medför således att behandlingen kan väljas utifrån vilken behandling som förutses ha bäst effekt mot den infekterande parasiten. Parasiten har ingen utväg: den behandlas med AL om det är en 86Y parasit, ASAQ om parasiten har 86N. Projektet har tre faser: 1) Först ska apparaten optimeras i laboratoriet så att den har maximal prestanda avseende känslighet (för att kunna analysera även små populationer av cirkulerande parasiter)och specificitet (särskiljandet av genotyper utan tveksamheter). Det här kommer att göras med blandningar av parasiter som odlas i laboratoriet, samt med prover från kliniska studier. 2) En klinisk studie kommer att utföras. I studien kommer en del av patienterna att behandlas som vanligt, dvs AL kommer att ges utan kunskap om parasitens genuppsättning. Den andra delen av patienterna kommer att få behandling på basis av den infekterande parasitens genuppsättning: ASAQ om 86N hittas, AL om parasiten är av 86Y typ. Armarnas kliniska effekter kommer att jämföras. I den genetiskt styrda behandlings armen förväntas bättre behandlingseffekt. 3) Slutligen, i den sista fasen undersöks resistenta parasiter på jakten efter mutationer som kan ge ytterligare viktig information om parasitens resistens. Apparaten kan då utvecklas för analys av också dessa mutationer. De resistenta parasiterna kommer här från den kliniska studien dvs. från blod av patienterna med terapisvikt. Detta kommer att bli första gången individuell behandling ?personalised medicine? kommer att appliceras för malaria. Möjligheten att i framtiden optimera malariabehandlingen öppnar dörren för säkrare och mer effektivbehandling.

In a novel breakthrough toward the creation of a mass trapping system for malaria vectors, we identified several synthetic odour blends that attract gravid mosquitoes. Our current objectives are to use this knowledge to develop a ?super-blend? to attract gravid malaria mosquitoes under field conditions, and to optimise the positioning of gravid traps within the landscape. The overall aim is to demonstrate that gravid traps can reduce malaria prevalence under epidemiologically relevant conditions. The ?super blend? will be created in large-tent assays, then optimised binary choice assays inside a large semi-field enclosure at icipe?s field station in Kenya. Field evaluation of the ?super blend? will then be conducted as a multi choice assay at two sites in Kenya and at one site in Ethiopia, in collaboration with icipe and Addis Ababa University, respectively. To establish the importance of landscape features in the selection of oviposition sites, we will conduct a longitudinal survey of mosquito breeding sites and the surrounding environment. Finally, we aim to reduce malaria prevalence in a western Ethiopian village by augmenting existing IVM interventions with our odour-baited gravid traps. Entomological and parasitological data will be monitored before and during interventions to assess the effect. Malariamyggor älskar doften av gräs ? så kan vi använda den emot dem Insektsgifter och mediciner mot mygg och de sjukdomar de sprider är grundpelarna till de program som syftar mot att bekämpa malaria i världen. Men på grund av att både malariamyggor och de farligaste malariaparasiterna i stora delar av världen utvecklat motståndskraft mot dessa metoder hotas nu hållbarheten och den långsiktiga framgången med dessa program. Nya metoder behöver utvecklas som ett komplement till befintliga. Vi har utvecklat syntetiska dofter, baserat på dofterna av olika typer av gräs, som attraherar äggläggande malariamyggor. De studier som lett fram till denna utveckling är de första i sitt slag och skapar unika möjligheter för utveckling av nya bekämpningsmetoder. I detta projekt planerar vi ta fram en ?superblandning?, baserad på de syntetiska dofter vi har tillgängliga, för att utveckla en massfångstmetod för malariamyggor. Genom att locka äggläggande malariamyggor i tillräckligt stort antal kan vi minska myggpopulationen och deras bitfrekvens och därmed reducera spridningen av malaria. I samarbete med icipe (Kenya) ska vi optimera denna ?superblandning? i stora semi-fältförsök. Därefter ska vi analysera hur effektiv denna blandning attraherar malariamyggor under epidemiologiska förhållanden. Dessa försök kommer att utföras på två platser i Kenya i samarbete med icipe och en plats i Etiopien i samarbete med Addis Ababa University. I Etiopien kommer vi även att utföra en landskapsanalys för att bättre förstå hur malariamyggor förflyttar sig och gör sina val vad gäller äggläggningsplats. Målet med projektet är att försöka reducera antalet malariafall i en by i västra Etiopien, ett område där vi tidigare utfört entomologiska och parasitologiska analyser, genom att komplettera befintliga bekämpningsmetoder med fällor för äggläggande malariamyggor.

Our current objectives are to use this knowledge to develop a ?super-blend? to attract gravid malaria mosquitoes under field conditions, and to optimise the positioning of gravid traps within the landscape. The overall aim is to demonstrate that gravid traps can reduce malaria prevalence under epidemiologically relevant conditions. The ?super blend? will be created in large-tent assays, then optimised binary choice assays inside a large semi-field enclosure at icipe?s field station in Kenya. Field evaluation of the ?super blend? will then be conducted as a multi choice assay at two sites in Kenya and at one site in Ethiopia, in collaboration with icipe and Addis Ababa University, respectively. To establish the importance of landscape features in the selection of oviposition sites, we will conduct a longitudinal survey of mosquito breeding sites and the surrounding environment. Finally, we aim to reduce malaria prevalence in a western Ethiopian village by augmenting existing IVM interventions with our odour-baited gravid traps. Entomological and parasitological data will be monitored before and during interventions to assess the effect. Malariamyggor älskar doften av gräs ? så kan vi använda den emot dem Insektsgifter och mediciner mot mygg och de sjukdomar de sprider är grundpelarna till de program som syftar mot att bekämpa malaria i världen. Men på grund av att både malariamyggor och de farligaste malariaparasiterna i stora delar av världen utvecklat motståndskraft mot dessa metoder hotas nu hållbarheten och den långsiktiga framgången med dessa program. Nya metoder behöver utvecklas som ett komplement till befintliga. Vi har utvecklat syntetiska dofter, baserat på dofterna av olika typer av gräs, som attraherar äggläggande malariamyggor. De studier som lett fram till denna utveckling är de första i sitt slag och skapar unika möjligheter för utveckling av nya bekämpningsmetoder. I detta projekt planerar vi ta fram en ?superblandning?, baserad på de syntetiska dofter vi har tillgängliga, för att utveckla en massfångstmetod för malariamyggor. Genom att locka äggläggande malariamyggor i tillräckligt stort antal kan vi minska myggpopulationen och deras bitfrekvens och därmed reducera spridningen av malaria. I samarbete med icipe (Kenya) ska vi optimera denna ?superblandning? i stora semi-fältförsök. Därefter ska vi analysera hur effektiv denna blandning attraherar malariamyggor under epidemiologiska förhållanden. Dessa försök kommer att utföras på två platser i Kenya i samarbete med icipe och en plats i Etiopien i samarbete med Addis Ababa University. I Etiopien kommer vi även att utföra en landskapsanalys för att bättre förstå hur malariamyggor förflyttar sig och gör sina val vad gäller äggläggningsplats. Målet med projektet är att försöka reducera antalet malariafall i en by i västra Etiopien, ett område där vi tidigare utfört entomologiska och parasitologiska analyser, genom att komplettera befintliga bekämpningsmetoder med fällor för äggläggande malariamyggor.

This project is divided in three parts. 1. Diseased finger-millet materials will be collected in East Africa together with infected wild grasses. Fungal DNA will be used to clarify prevalent Magnaporthe species, something that is unknown, via sequencing loci used for earlier phylogenetic groupings. Next step is to select isolates for genome re-sequencing based on deviating phylogeny and host interactions. DNA/RNA will be prepared and send for sequencing at SciLifeLab. The data will give us evolutionary information but most importantly knowledge on effector disease-promoting proteins that differ between continents and plant hosts. 2. Here we plan to develop an effector-screen to monitor finger-millet collections in order to characterize specific host responses. This approach lays the basis of a new optimized use of genetic resources in finger-millet breeding aiming to achieve durable resistance in the new varieties. In parallel new finger millet genotypes will be collected, evaluated, and passed over to ongoing traditional breeding initiatives. 3. We plan to set up and evaluate a mixed cropping system with legumes. This approach aims at further reducing the Magnaporthe population, selection pressure and weeds, improve soil fertility, and generate added values by growing improved and highly nutritious crops. I Afrika odlas många grödor som är okända i Sverige. Finger-millet är ett sådant exempel med ax som påminner om tre uppsträckta fingrar. Det är en stråsädesgröda som odlats under tusentals år i Afrika och man tror även att den har sitt ursprung där till skillnad från till exempel majs som introducerades från Amerika till Afrika för drygt 100 år sedan. Det intressanta med finger-millet är att den är torktålig och har mycket bättre proteinhalt och mikronäringsämnen jämfört med andra cerealier men skördarna är låga. En annan fördel är att kornen i axen har ett skikt som gör det svårt för insekter att attackera dem. Därför är finger-millet en gröda som tål lagring vilket kan vara livsavgörande under perioder med dålig livsmedelsförsörjning i övrigt. Det sortmaterial som är anpassat till afrikanska odlingsförutsättningar har en mycket stor potential att utvecklas då stora genetiska resurser finns tillgängliga just i Afrika. Angrepp av svampar inom Magnaporthe-släktet utgör idag det allra största hotet mot en bra skörd. Angreppen på finger-millet har ökat starkt de senaste åren och många tror att det kan kopplas till klimatförändringarna som gynnar denna typ av sjukdomsalstrande organism. I dagsläget är det oklart vilken svampart det är som angriper finger-millet. I detta projekt planerar vi att samla in infekterat material i Östra Afrika från finger-millet och vilda gräs som växer i eller bredvid fälten. Från detta kommer rena kulturer av Magnaporthe-svampen att odlas upp för att göra en artbestämning baserat på DNA-analys. Samtidigt kan informationen användas för att klargöra sammansättningen av svamp-populationen. Vi har redan indikationer om att nya svampvarianter har bildats och planerar därför att välja ut 1-3 unika typer för en fördjupad genomsekvensering. Vi kommer här att få stor nytta av de genomdata som redan finns på Magnaporthe. Från detta arbete kommer vi att kunna klargöra evolutionära händelser t.ex. om olika Magnaporthe-arter har korsat sig och bildat en ny variant. Det kanske absolut viktigaste är att vi kommer att kunna identifiera grupper av proteiner som är viktiga för att svampen skall kunna angripa och tillväxa på sin växtvärd, så kallade effektorer. Kunskap om denna kategori av proteiner kommer att utnyttjas för att identifiera olika typer av resistensgener i växtmaterialet. Det vill säga man kan karaktärisera genresurserna mycket noggrant och därefter välja olika föräldramaterial som skall ingå i korsningarna för att producera bättre sorter med hållbar motståndskraft. När vi samlar in infekterat material kommer vi också att passa på att samla in vilda varianter av finger-millet. Detta gör vi för att komplettera det redan tillgängliga förädlingsresursen i området. Under tiden vi arbetar med svampen kommer vi att utvärdera det insamlade materialet i fält för att bedöma om något ska inkluderas i det redan pågående förädlingsarbetet. För att inte förlora tid vi kommer att köra två parallella spår. Dels optimera de pågående förädlingsprogrammen dels lägga upp en ny strategi för hur de genetiska resurserna bäst kan komma till nytta baserat på kunskap om deras olika resistensegenskaper mot Magnaporthe. För att ytterligare förbättra odlingsförutsättningarna kommer samodling mellan finger-millet och olika baljväxtgrödor att undersökas. Detta görs för att minska antalet svampsporer, reducera tillväxt av ogräs och för att förbättra näringen i den näringsfattiga jorden via kvävefixerande baljväxter. Att kombinera olika åtgärder för att minska skördeförluster hos olika grödor kallas integrerat växtskydd. Naturligtvis kommer baljväxterna att också analyseras med avseende på tillväxt, anpassning under odlingssäsong och skörd. Baljväxter och finger-millet ger tillsammans en mycket väl balanserad komposition av viktiga näringsämnen för både människor och husdjur. För att erhålla ett lyckat resultat av projektet kommer arbetet att ske nära och i dialog med andra forskargrupper men också med jordbrukarna så att de också tycker Sweden The Swedish Research Council The Swedish Research Council +46 8 546 44 000 vetenskapsradet@vr.se www.vr.se Box 1035, 101 38 Stockholm, Sweden Africa, regional Agricultural research Agriculture Saknas No indicator available - only a description of the activity results is published SE-0-SE-29-2014-3351-1 Sweden Finger millet is an African native adapted cereal with high nutrient values and drought hardiness that is threatened by the blast fungal disease by Magnaporthe.

Unfortunately, the world leading pharmaceutical companies mainly develop new drugs to satisfy the demand of the industrialized countries, and therefore drug development against these diseases receives relatively small attention. Our research proposal is directed to development of new catalytic procedures for new drugs and drug intermediates against malaria, tuberculosis and HIV. The basic strategy is the so called *carbon-hydrogen (C-H) bond activation*. This is a modern synthetic methodology, which is environmentally benign, cost-efficient and operationally simple. However, development of catalytic C-H activation methods require explicit knowledge to control the complicated chemical processes. The specific goals of the research are development of new C-H activation based methods for synthesis of quinoline (anti malarial), benzofurane (anti-tubercular and anti HIV), cyclic sulfonamide (anti-HIV) based drugs. The successful achievement of the research proposal will contribute to establishment of this important new research area in India (in IIT Bombay), Ph.D. education of research fellows and dissemination of this important synthetic technology in the Indian research society. The technology transfer to the domestic Indian pharmaceutical research companies, will help to find new drugs for treatment of malaria, tuberculosis and HIV improving the services of the Indian health-care sector. Malaria, tuberkulos och HIV innebär stora problem för det indiska samhället och för många u-länder. I Indien finns nio insektsarter som sprider malaria, och årligen smittas ungefär två miljoner människor varav ca. 1000 dör. Enligt WHOs uppskattning är dock den verkliga siffran mycket högre eftersom det finns många oanmälda fall. Situationen är svårast i de fattigaste delstaterna i Indien. Det finns ca. 2.1 miljoner HIV smittade i de svårast drabbade delstaterna Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Maharashtra och Tamil Nadu. Tuberkulos, framför allt bland HIV positiva är också ett stort problem. Det finns ca. 2-2.5 miljoner tuberkulossmittade i Indien, vilket gör Indien till ett av de mest tuberkulosdrabbade länderna i världen. Naturligtvis satsar Indien stora resurser för att bekämpa malaria, tuberkulos och HIV, men det finns också ett stort biståndsbehov. Det största problemet är att internationella läkemedelsbolag främst utvecklar nya mediciner som i-ländernas konsumenter efterfrågar. Därför får u-ländernas behov, som tex läkemedel mot malaria, tuberkulos och billiga mediciner mot HIV en ganska liten uppmärksamhet. Vår ansökan är inriktad mot utveckling av nya läkemedelssubstanser mot dessa sjukdomar. Vi planerar att använda en ny kraftfull metod som kallas för *kol-vätebindningsaktivering eller C-H aktivering*. Metoden är miljövänlig, billig och enkel att genomföra. Dock krävs en djup förståelse av de bakomliggande kemiska processerna för en framgångsrik implementering av metoden. Min forskargrupp (KJS) har en lång erfarenhet inom utveckling av C-H aktiveringsreaktioner. Professor Maitis grupp (Indian Institute of Technology Bombay) har ett stort interesse för utveckling av nya processer för heterocykliska läkemedelssubstanser mot malaria, tuberkulos och HIV. Ett samarbete skulle bli fördelaktigt för båda forskargupperna. Professor Maiti är en begåvad och lovande ung forskare i början av sin karriär. Min grupp (KJS) kan bidra med våra erfarenhet och kunskaper till hjälp för professor Maiti att etablera sig inom området C-H aktivering. Dessutom får min grupp en god inblick i utveckling av läkemedel med hjälp av C-H aktivering. Forskningsresultat från det gemensamma projektet hjälper till att etablera katalytisk C-H aktivering i Indien (vid IIT Bombay). Dessutom får de doktorander som jobbar med projektet en speciell utbildning i läkemedelsutveckling med C-H aktivering. Två av doktoranderna (av tre som är länkade till projektet) kommer att utbildas i Indien. Dessa forskare kan sedan sprida C-H aktiveringsmetoden till den indiska kemiindustrin. En spridning av våra forskningsresultat antas att bidra till att indiska läkemedelsföretag får en bättre teknologi för att tillverka läkemedel mot malaria, tuberkulos och HIV. Det leder i sin tur till en bättre sjukvård och bättre levnadsvillkor i Indien.

It is expected to be positively affected by anthropogenic global warming, and is hence projected to become increasingly important in the future. The greatest threats to Africa´s cassava crop are two viral diseases, transmitted by the whitefly Bemisia tabaci, which are currently spreading throughout Africa. There is an urgent need for effective and sustainable strategies to control the vector. The project aims at developing novel control strategies for managing whiteflies on cassava based on insights into the chemical ecology of the species. The project is a collaboration between my group at Lund University and the International Institute for Tropical Agriculture (IITA), an Africa-based international not-for-profit research-for-development organization. The project combines my group´s expertise in insect neuroscience, with IITA´s extensive knowledge in plant biology and agricultural research for development. My skills are complimentary to those of the co-applicant Dr J.P. Legg (expert in plant virology), and the project itself multidisciplinary. The project will involve screenhouse and open field behavioral trials, analytical chemistry, electrophysiology, next-gen sequencing and genetics. We will deliver: Information about odor guided choice in whiteflies; Characterization of cassava volatiles; First mapping of the whitefly´s olfactory system; The identification of whitefly volatile repellents. Kassava, eller maniok som den också kallas är ursprungligen en sydamerikansk växt, som numera utgör stapelgröda i stora delar av Afrika söder om Sahara. Kassava är av stor vikt för tryggad livsmedelsförsörjning i regionen, och har också på senare år kommit att bli en signifikant handelsvara i området och den primära inkomstkällan för många småbönder. Dess popularitet kan förklaras med att kassava är näringsrikt, lätt att odla och växer på fattiga jordar. Till skillnad mot andra viktig Afrikanska stapelgrödor, såsom majs, sorghum och hirs, så är kassava beständigt mot både extrem värme och torka. Kassavas betydelse som stapelgröda, samt för säkrad livsmedelsförsörjning i Afrika söder om Sahara beräknas också öka betydligt i framtiden i takt med stigande temperaturer och minskad nederbörd till följd av klimatförändringarna. Faktum är att kassava möjligen kan vara den bästa vägen framåt för afrikanska småbrukare för att säkerställa livsmedelsförsörjningen i regionen. Även om kassava är motståndskraftigt mot klimatförändringar, så är denna gröda allvarligt hotad av en rad sjukdomar. Två virussjukdomar - Cassava Mosaic Disease (CMD) och Cassava Brown Streak Disease (CBSD) - orsakar årligen enorm skada. Under de senaste decennierna har effekterna av CMD och CBSD blivit långtgående, och utgör nu ett direkt hot mot livsmedelsförsörjningen i stora delar av Afrika. CBSD sprider sig för närvarande genom östra, centrala och södra Afrika, och det finns en stor oro över risken för ytterligare spridning västerut, en utveckling som skulle kunna bli katastrofal då majoriteten av Afrikas kassava produceras i denna region. De virus som orsakar både CMD och CBSD sprids av vita flygare (Bemisia tabaci). Även om denna lilla skinnbagge har varit känd som vektor för dessa sjukdomar sedan 30-talet så har förvånansvärt lite ansträngningar och resurser lagts på forskning om insekten i sig, eller för att utveckla effektiva kontrollstrategier. Vårt projekt, vilket är ett samarbete mellan Lunds universitet och International Institute for Tropical Agriculture (Tanzania), syftar till att ge en grundläggande insikt i hur vita flygare hittar kassava. Vi har för avsikt att undersöka luktsinnet hos vita flygare och identifiera de doftsignaler som arten använder för att hitta sina värdväxter. Målet med denna forskning är att komma fram till hållbara och långsiktiga strategier för att kontrollera och manipulera vita flygare i kassavafält baserat på kemisk ekologisk metodik. Denna strategi har varit framgångsrik mot många andra skadeinsekter, men har ännu inte utnyttjats för vita flygare.

Till skillnad mot andra viktig Afrikanska stapelgrödor, såsom majs, sorghum och hirs, så är kassava beständigt mot både extrem värme och torka. Kassavas betydelse som stapelgröda, samt för säkrad livsmedelsförsörjning i Afrika söder om Sahara beräknas också öka betydligt i framtiden i takt med stigande temperaturer och minskad nederbörd till följd av klimatförändringarna. Faktum är att kassava möjligen kan vara den bästa vägen framåt för afrikanska småbrukare för att säkerställa livsmedelsförsörjningen i regionen. Även om kassava är motståndskraftigt mot klimatförändringar, så är denna gröda allvarligt hotad av en rad sjukdomar. Två virussjukdomar - Cassava Mosaic Disease (CMD) och Cassava Brown Streak Disease (CBSD) - orsakar årligen enorm skada. Under de senaste decennierna har effekterna av CMD och CBSD blivit långtgående, och utgör nu ett direkt hot mot livsmedelsförsörjningen i stora delar av Afrika. CBSD sprider sig för närvarande genom östra, centrala och södra Afrika, och det finns en stor oro över risken för ytterligare spridning västerut, en utveckling som skulle kunna bli katastrofal då majoriteten av Afrikas kassava produceras i denna region. De virus som orsakar både CMD och CBSD sprids av vita flygare (Bemisia tabaci). Även om denna lilla skinnbagge har varit känd som vektor för dessa sjukdomar sedan 30-talet så har förvånansvärt lite ansträngningar och resurser lagts på forskning om insekten i sig, eller för att utveckla effektiva kontrollstrategier. Vårt projekt, vilket är ett samarbete mellan Lunds universitet och International Institute for Tropical Agriculture (Tanzania), syftar till att ge en grundläggande insikt i hur vita flygare hittar kassava. Vi har för avsikt att undersöka luktsinnet hos vita flygare och identifiera de doftsignaler som arten använder för att hitta sina värdväxter. Målet med denna forskning är att komma fram till hållbara och långsiktiga strategier för att kontrollera och manipulera vita flygare i kassavafält baserat på kemisk ekologisk metodik. Denna strategi har varit framgångsrik mot många andra skadeinsekter, men har ännu inte utnyttjats för vita flygare.

This project aims to deepen our understanding of the links between ecosystem services, human well-being, and poverty in southern Africa, and evaluate the implications for ecosystem service based poverty alleviation strategies (ESBPAS). The project is organized around two PhD-projects at two linked scales that focus on i) ecosystem service bundles and their links to well-being and poverty, and ii) the role of cultural ecosystem services in contributing to well-being amongst the poor. We will combine qualitative and quantitative approaches, including GIS analyses, statistical modelling, surveys, PhotoVoice and focus group interviews. The project will build on an earlier u-Forsk project in the Eastern Cape of South Africa and include new sites in Mozambique. A substantive synthesis component is aimed at developing new cross-cutting insights on ecosystem service-human well-being links at different scales and the potential for combining ESBPAS to increase their impact on multiple dimensions of human well-being. The project also aims to build capacity and further develop science-policy networks through SAPECS, a regional network of scientists, practitioners and students engaged in comparative social-ecological syntheses to support improved stewardship of ecosystem services and poverty alleviation in the region. Ny kunskap och metoder för att förbättra ekosystemtjänst-baserade strategier för fattigdomsbekämpning i södra Afrika Hälften av befolkningen i Afrika söder om Sahara lever i extrem fattigdom på mindre än 10 kronor per dag och tillgång till ekosystemtjänster är ofta av kritisk betydelse för deras försörjning, hälsa, trygghet, samt sociala relationer. Fungerande fattigdomsbekämpning i en värld där både de ekosystem och de samhällen som fattiga lever i är i ständig förändring - på grund av globala ekonomiska processer såväl som klimat och miljöförändringar - kräver en förståelse av komplexa och dynamiska samband mellan sociala och ekologiska processer och hur de interagerar mellan lokala, nationella och regionala skalor. Vårt fokus ligger på hur man kan säkerställa viktiga ekologiska funktioner, eller tjänster, som underbygger mänskligt välbefinnande, och faktorer som skapar förutsättningar för deras hållbara nyttjande. Ekosystemtjänster, eller den nytta som människor erhåller från ekosystem, inbegriper både direkta ?varor? som till exempel rent vatten eller grödor, processer som reglerar till exempel klimatet eller effekten av extrema väderförhållanden som översvämmningar, samt så kallade kuturella tjänster som rekreation, och estetiska eller spirituella värden. Forskningen kring ekosystemtjänster är ett växande fält men flera områden behöver ytterligare beforskas. Ett exempel är hur och i vilken utsträckning strategier för fattigdomsbekämpning som bygger på ekosystemtjänster faktiskt bidrar till ökat mänskligt välbefinnande, och hur olika strategier (som till exempel ekoturism, jordbruksstöd, och kompensation för skogsplantering), påverkar varandra. I detta projekt studerar vi i synnerhet hur olika ekosystemtjänser samverkar med varandra och med olika aspekter av välbefinnande och fattigdom (såsom basala behov, hälsa, och sociala relationer), samt betydelsen av kulturella ekosystemtjänster för upplevt välbefinnande. Studien fokuserar på Östra Kapprovinsen, som är den fattigaste delen i Sydafrika, men vi planerar även jämförande studier i Mozambique. Projektet är tvärvetenskapligt och använder kvantitativa (rusmliga analyser av ekosystemtjänster, enkäter för att utvärdera kulturella värden av ekosystem samt upplevd välbefinnande) såväl som kvalitativa metoder (fokusgrupper, intervjuer). En central del av projektet är att föra samman insikter från studier på lokala och regionala nivåer, för att öka förståelsen av hur ekosystemtjänster och deras bidrag till mänskligt välbefinnande genereras, uppfattas och påverkar varandra på olika skalor. Till exempel, ett skogsområde kan lokalt vara högt värderat för tillgången på brännved eller virke, eller som en plats för kulturella ceremonier (materiella och kulturella ekosystemtjänster), medans på global nivå främst ses som en kolsänka och ett bidrag till klimatreglering (reglerande ekosystemtjänst). Projektet syftar till att ge nya insikter kring hur ekosystemtjänster kan bidra ökat välbefinnande inom flera aspekter, samt hur vår förståelse kring detta kan bidra till bättre strategier för fattigdomsbekämpning. Vi kommer att bidra med ny kunskap, samt utveckla nya verktyg och metoder för integrerad förståelse av ekosystemtjänster och välbefinnande. Vidare kommer vi som en del av projektet att aktivt utveckla nätverk och samarbete mellan forskning, praktik och beslutsfattande, både lokalt, regionalt, samt inom globala processes, som den nya internationella plattformen för biologisk mångfald och ekosystemtjänster, IPBES.

Many people are dependent on fish as their primary source of protein, highlighting the need to manage this resource correctly. Much is known about separate coastal habitats, however, little is known about how they are interconnected and dependant on each other. Several important fish species connect multiple habitats by ontogenetic- and foraging migrations. Understanding these links (connectivity) and when and where links are broken is crucial. This project aims to (1) study thresholds in connectivity in order to understand the consequences of fragmentation on fish supply in multiple habitats, (2) compare connectivity in tropical and subtropical regions in order to generalise results, and (3) include local ecological knowledge (LEK) to complement scientific knowledge on connectivity and engage local fishers in management of marine resources. The application of landscape ecology, using Geographical Information Systems (GIS) combined with fish census, will be used to gather data for aim (1) and (2). Through semi-structured interviews with local fishers data will be gathered for aim (3). Studies will be conducted in East Africa (Tanzania/Mozambique) and Brazil through the collaboration and knowledge exchange between leading scientists from both regions. I många tropiska områden bildar mangrove, sjögräsängar och korallrev en mosaik av habitat, ofta kallat ett tropiskt havslandskap. Vi har ganska goda kunskaper om vart och ett av dessa habitat men vi vet lite om hur dessa är länkade till varandra och hur havslandskapet fungerar som helhet. Vandrande fiskar utgör en av de viktigaste länkarna i havslandskapet. Många korallrevsfiskar växer t.ex. upp i mangrove eller sjögräsområden och flyttar sedan till korallreven när de blir större. Flertalet korallrevsfiskar simmar även mellan korallrev och sjögräs för att äta och bidrar därmed till att kontrollera populationerna av födodjur i sjögräs och utbytet av energi och närsalter mellan habitaten. En sammanställning av information runt Zanzibar i Tanzania visade att hälften av alla korallrevsfiskarter utnyttjar mer än ett habitat och nästan en femtedel utnyttjar mangrove och sjögräs som uppväxtområden. Dessa resultat visar verkligen hur sammanlänkade habitaten kan vara i tropiska länder. Under de senaste decennierna har över 30 % av jordens mangrove-, sjögräs-, och korallområden minskat. Mängden fisk har också minskat avsevärt världen över. Då fisk utgör den främsta källan till protein för människor som bor längst kustområden i Afrika, har en minskning av fisk och deras uppväxtområden en förödande effekt. Målet med denna studie är därför att fylla informationsluckor i förståelsen för hur olika områden är länkade för att bättre kunna förvalta ekosystemtjänster (t.ex. fiske) kopplade till de olika habitaten i havslandskapet. Vi vill med denna studie besvara frågor som; hur mycket kan ett habitat i ett område reduceras i utbredning (dvs. fragmenteras) innan dessa viktiga länkar bryts? Vilka minimumavstånd mellan habitat krävs för att upprätthålla länkar? Finns det tröskelvärden då biodiversiteten och abundansen av fisk drastiskt minskar pga. brutna länkar? För att studera dessa frågor kommer vi att använda oss av lanskapsekologiska metoder utvecklade för terrestra miljöer. Denna metod som nyligen börjat användas i marina miljöer har visat sig vara en lämplig metod att testa konnektiviet (länkar) i tropiska områden. Habitatkartor i kombination med insamlad fiskdata (abundans och diversitet) kommer att användas för att med hjälp av Geografiska informationssystem (GIS) kunna finna olika tröskelvärden då länkar bryts. För att kunna förvalta hela Östafrikas kustremsa på ett hållbart sätt behöver vi även förstå hur habitat i subtropiska havslandskap är länkade, då Östafrikas kust (Kenya till södra Mocambique) innefattar både tropiska och subtropiska miljöer. Är det samma habitat som används som uppväxtområden i subtropikerna som i tropikerna? Vilka habitat används som uppväxtområden om mangrove och sjögräs saknas? Algbälten? Kan samma typ av förvaltning fungera i båda områdena? Dessa frågor vill vi besvara genom att göra studier i subtropikerna och jämföra med de kunskaper vi har i tropikerna. Kunskaperna från våra tidigare studier i Tanzania kan därför komma till användning i Mocambique genom detta sammarbete. För att testa våra hypoteser i andra regioner har vi också ett sammarbete med Brasilien, ett land med en liknande kustremsa av både tropiska och subtropiska miljöer. Slutligen kommer vi att intervjua fiskare om deras lokala ekologiska kunskaper (Local Ecological Knowledge, LEK) om uppväxt- och födoområden för viktiga fiskarter för att komplettera vetenskaplig information med lokalkännedom. Vidare hoppas vi på detta sätt kunna öka intresset och engagemanget av lokala fiskare i kustförvaltningen, något som tidigare varit ett problem i bl.a. Mocambique. Resultaten från dessa studier kommer att öka vår förståelse för hur havslandskapen är länkade i tropiska och subtropiska miljöer samt bidra med kunskap om viktiga tröskelvärden som kan kommuniceras till förvaltare.

At least one tropical field campaign and one Swedish field campaign will be conducted each year. The focus of the campaigns will be on local problems in relation to insect transmitted diseases and agricultural pests, in collaboration with Swedish and local researchers. The 1-3 weeks field campaigns are followed by data evaluation, planning and improvement. During the campaigns the instrumentation, consisting of telescopes and compact diode lasers, is translated out in the natural habitat of insects. The systems are calibrated using spheres, controlled insect releases and stereo vision. Remotely recorded signals either arise from scattered sunlight or backscattered laser radiation. Sensors include spectrometers, quadrant detectors, linear and imaging CCDs. The information retrieved can include species, gender, age, position, heading, or payload. Data are evaluated with frequency analysis and chemometric methods.

Trots förekomsten av en lång rad andra problem är några av de allra största hindren för Afrikas utveckling förknippade med insekter. Myggburna sjukdomar, under samlingstermen malaria, är bland de mest kända problemen. Konsekvensen är ytterst dödlig, drabbar i hög grad barn och orsakar ett stort antal dödfödslar. Malaria leder till ett mycket stort antal sjukdagar och nersatt arbetsförmåga. Utöver malaria finns en mängd andra insektsrelaterade komplikationer, som helt eller delvist kan spolera boskapskötsel och lantbruk. Problem med insektssmitta och invaderande skadedjur drabbar i första hand den fattiga befolkningen på landsbygden och får därför förstärkt effekt. Läran om insekter, entomologi, bygger idag mestedels på studier av insekter infångade med håv eller i olika sorts fällor. Även om dessa metoder har gett stor kunskap om insekters morfologi och genetik på individnivå, har de också en mängd brister, speciellt för förståelsen av insektsmängd på landskapsnivå: Hur många fångas in av de som finns? Vilka arter, köns- och åldersgrupper fångas och med vilka proportioner? Är infångningen representativ? Hur långt flyger insekter i sina naturliga habitat och hur snabbt i relation till vind och väder? Vi är en sammansatt grupp forskare från de två Linné-programmen Centre for Animal Movement (CAnMove) och Lund Laser Centre (LLC) med specialkunskaper inom ekologisk entomologi resp. laser-radar-teknik. Vi har de senaste åren utvecklat optiska metoder för att räkna och klassificera insekter och flygriktingar på kilometerlånga avstånd med hjälp av teleskop och lasrar. Största delen insekter är flygande och kan således betraktas som luftpartiklar med en rad speciella egenskaper. Med de etablerade lasermetoderna för atmosfärsstudier har vi en unik möjlighet at bidra med ny kunskap om de mekanismer som orsakar några av de allvarligaste problemen på den Afrikanska kontinenten. Vår grupp har i mer än tjugo år arbetat och stött afrikanska forskare, bl.a. genom det internationella vetenskapsprogrammet ISP-SIDA, Uppsala. Som ett exempel utvecklade vi på en workshop 2012 vid det intenationella centret för insektsvetenskap, ICIPE i Nairobi, kompakta system för fjärranalys av insekter. Dessa finns nu på laboratorier i Senegal, Mali, Elfenbenskusten, Ghana, Burkina Faso och Kenya. Vi söker nu finansiering för en doktorandtjänst, med syftet att förbättra, kalibrera och använda dessa system på plats med lokala forskare med tillämpning på lokala problem. Under vinterhalvåret anordnas åtminstone en årlig tropisk fältkampanj där doktoranden, svenska och lokala fysiker och biologer deltar. Doktoranden kommer dessutom att ha tillgång till laser-radarutrustning av större komplexitetsgrad i Lund och hos internationella samarbetspartners. Sommartid kommer årligen en fältkampanj anordnas i Sverige i samarbete med svenska biologer. Denna aktivitet ger möjlighet att uppnå färdigheter och att testa avancerade koncept innan de implementeras i tropikerna.

Läran om insekter, entomologi, bygger idag mestedels på studier av insekter infångade med håv eller i olika sorts fällor. Även om dessa metoder har gett stor kunskap om insekters morfologi och genetik på individnivå, har de också en mängd brister, speciellt för förståelsen av insektsmängd på landskapsnivå: Hur många fångas in av de som finns? Vilka arter, köns- och åldersgrupper fångas och med vilka proportioner? Är infångningen representativ? Hur långt flyger insekter i sina naturliga habitat och hur snabbt i relation till vind och väder? Vi är en sammansatt grupp forskare från de två Linné-programmen Centre for Animal Movement (CAnMove) och Lund Laser Centre (LLC) med specialkunskaper inom ekologisk entomologi resp. laser-radar-teknik. Vi har de senaste åren utvecklat optiska metoder för att räkna och klassificera insekter och flygriktingar på kilometerlånga avstånd med hjälp av teleskop och lasrar. Största delen insekter är flygande och kan således betraktas som luftpartiklar med en rad speciella egenskaper. Med de etablerade lasermetoderna för atmosfärsstudier har vi en unik möjlighet at bidra med ny kunskap om de mekanismer som orsakar några av de allvarligaste problemen på den Afrikanska kontinenten. Vår grupp har i mer än tjugo år arbetat och stött afrikanska forskare, bl.a. genom det internationella vetenskapsprogrammet ISP-SIDA, Uppsala. Som ett exempel utvecklade vi på en workshop 2012 vid det intenationella centret för insektsvetenskap, ICIPE i Nairobi, kompakta system för fjärranalys av insekter. Dessa finns nu på laboratorier i Senegal, Mali, Elfenbenskusten, Ghana, Burkina Faso och Kenya. Vi söker nu finansiering för en doktorandtjänst, med syftet att förbättra, kalibrera och använda dessa system på plats med lokala forskare med tillämpning på lokala problem. Under vinterhalvåret anordnas åtminstone en årlig tropisk fältkampanj där doktoranden, svenska och lokala fysiker och biologer deltar. Doktoranden kommer dessutom att ha tillgång till laser-radarutrustning av större komplexitetsgrad i Lund och hos internationella samarbetspartners. Sommartid kommer årligen en fältkampanj anordnas i Sverige i samarbete med svenska biologer. Denna aktivitet ger möjlighet att uppnå färdigheter och att testa avancerade koncept innan de implementeras i tropikerna.

Luftföroreningar är ett stort problem som påverkar hälsa, klimat och matproduktion i det flesta utvecklingsländer. FNs miljöprogam UNEP har nyligen presenterat en utvärdering där man identifierar sot (på engelska black carbon eller BC) och ozon som två luftföroreningar av särskild betydelse då framtida åtgärder som minskar halterna mildrar klimatförändringar samtidigt som hälsa och grödor skyddas. Under de senaste åren har kortlivade klimatpåverkande luftföroreningar (SLCF) vuxit fram som ett nytt och viktigt koncept. Sverige har spelat en central roll i att introducera begreppet som ett parallellt spår till traditionella åtgärder för att mildra mänsklig påverkan på klimatet. Dagens satsningar på åtgärder mot (SLCF) tog sin början i det av UNEP stödda ?Asian Brown Cloud?-projektet där man identifierade ett omfattande brunt dis av luftföroreningar. I detta dis finner man höga halter av aerosolpartiklar, inklusive sot, och gasformiga ämnen som genom fotokemiska reaktioner producerar höga halter av ozon och sekundära organiska aerosolpartiklar (SOA). Modellberäkningar visar att den förorenade luften i diset ger upphov till negativa hälsoeffekter på miljoner mycket fattiga människor samtidigt som det påverkar skördar och ger effekter på det regionalla klimatet. Utvecklingen av dessa modeller pågår ständigt och man kan delvis använda grundläggande kunskap som tagits fram för förhållanden i USA och Europa och där modellerna validerats med avancerade och omfattande mätprogram. I utvecklingsländer finns det oftast endast begränsade mätprogram och små resurser för att vetenskapligt utvärdera dessa mätningar mot relevanta laboratorieförsök eller modeller som beskriver de specifika och ibland extrema luftföroreningsepisoderna. I detta projekt fokuserar vi på en av de mest förorenade regionerna på jorden där utbredd fattigdom och begränsade möjligheter till kraftfulla åtgärder leder till en ständigt försämrad luftkvalité och ökad risk för dramatiska klimatförändringar. Området är det nordindiska låglandet som är ett intensivt jordbruksområde, men där man på grund av ozonskador kan uppskatta ett skördebortfall på upp till 20%. Mätningar av luftföroreningar i dessa områden begränsas till ett litet antal utvalda ämnen och är lokaliserade till storstadsområdena. Inom projektet vill vi fokusera på landsbygden och de problem som där kan kopplas till luftföroreningarna sot och ozon. Detta ger underlag som på ett effektivt sätt kopplar till de regionala problem som finns, inklusive den omfattande regionala förbränningen av biomassa som även sker som en del av traditioner inom jordbruket. Vi har valt ut ett kollektivjordbruk som drivs på initiativ av ?the Indian REaD (Research Education and Development) Foundation? och som även bidra med utvecklande miljöer för kvinnor i fattiga områden. Genom mycket god lokalkännedom (huvudsökandes hemort) kan vi på detta kollektivjordbruk trots oerhörd fattigdom och brist på infrastruktur påbörja en mätserie av regionala luftföroreningar. Dessa mätningar kommer att vara av stor betydelse på flera sätt. För det första kommer vi att få tillgång till unika data som kan kopplas samman med processförståelse från laboratorieförsök. Vi har ett fokus på kontinuerliga mätningar av sot och ozon.

The improvement of noug (Guizotia abyssinica) is therefore thought to significantly contribute towards the country?s food security and sustainable development and self-sufficiency in edible oil. As the global population continues to grow, food security issues become more important and demand for diverse and high-quality seed oils continues to increase. Thus, investment in the improvement of noug will likely be of benefit beyond Ethiopia?s borders and could potentially lead to the expansion of the crop to new areas. We aim to increase yield and nutritional values of noug through the use of recently developed genotypes as well as through characterization of noug gene pool in farmer participatory trials. In the proposed project, we will determine breeding values of noug through evaluation across a variety of agro-ecological zones in Ethiopia to match landraces with local agricultural conditions; conduct pre-breeding to fully exploit the noug gene pool and improve yield, oil content and nutritional quality; develop genomic tools for noug to accelerate breeding programs and generate knowledge that enable the employment of marker-assisted breeding. We will make direct contributions to sustainable agricultural development in Ethiopia through the provision of superior planting material for noug, and facilitate better income generation for noug growers and their families.

New low cost energy resources, such as rice husk, straw and coconut shell briquettes are needed since wood has become scarce and the price increases continuously. Unfortunately the new energy resources accelerate the problem with high concentrations of particles and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. WHO states that air pollution is the largest single environmental health risk and most severe is the household pollution due to indoor smoke from cooking fuel. The objective of this project is to develop better understanding of how soot particles are formed in biomass combustion, how they burn in the fire and how the resulting ash can be removed from the exhaust. At Gadjah Mada University in Indonesia we will do experimental studies of how briquettes of different design will burn and form soot. At Chalmers University we will focus on how soot particles burn in the fire and can be trapped downstream. The co-workers in Indonesia have experience in briquette manufacturing and small scale biomass combustion. The group at Chalmers has experience in Computational Fluid Dynamics and in removing and burning particles in diesel exhaust. The combined knowledge will lead to new understanding and design concepts that can be used for making new stoves and furnaces with low emissions. Luftburna partiklar är globalt det absolut största miljöproblemet. WHO uppskattade i sin senaste rapport från 2014 att ca 7 miljoner människor dör per år (1/8 av alla dödsfall) på grund av luftburna föroreningar där partiklar är den allvarligaste komponenten. Av dessa 7 miljoner uppskattar man att 4,3 miljoner dödsfall per år är relaterade till inomhusluften. Förbränning av biomassa, främst ved har traditionellt varit den främsta källan till småskalig energiproduktion. I den industrialiserade delen av världen har vi gått över till billig el men i resten av världen är fortfarande småskalig förbränning av biomassa mycket viktigt. Denna förbränning har aldrig varit miljövänlig och mycket behöver göras för att få ner emissionerna till acceptabla nivåer. Utsläppen har t.o.m. förvärrats under senare år genom att ved blivit dyrare och nu alltmer ersätts av restprodukter från jord- och skogsbruk t.ex. risskal och halm. Avdelningen för Kemiteknik på Chalmers har haft långt samarbete med Gadjah Mada University (UGM) i Yogyakarta. Hittills har sex doktorander som fått sin grundutbildning vid UGM disputerat vid avdelningen för Kemiteknik på Chalmers. Alla dessa är för närvarande lärare eller forskare på olika universitet i Indonesien varav fem på UGM. För närvarande är två studenter från UGM anställda som doktorander vid Kemiteknik på Chalmers. Målet för det föreslagna projektet är att åstadkomma rena avgaser vid småskalig förbränning av biomassa. De sökande från Chalmers har erfarenhet av att arbeta med partikelinfångning och oxidation av sot för rening av avgaser från fordon. Gruppen vid UGM har arbetat med småskalig förbränning och tillverkning av briketter från biomassa. Vårt modellsystem är en enkel spis som vi bygger på Chalmers och vid UGM, en bakugn i Mocambique och en ugn för bränning av keramik i Indonesien. De två senare har vi redan gjort grundläggande studier på. Målet i dessa fall har varit bättre bränsleekonomi och bättre kvalitet på produkten. I detta projekt skall vi utveckla ett förbränningskoncept för ved och olika alternativ till vedeldning t.ex. briketter av risskall, halm eller kokosnötsskal. Vi behöver bättre förståelse för hur sotpartiklar bildas, hur de förbränns direkt i eldstaden och hur submikrometerstora partiklar kan fångas in och förbrännas med mycket lågt tryckfall. Det pågår flera projekt internationellt om hur spisar eldade med biomassa skall utformas och den kunskap om sotpartiklar som vi kan bidra med är central för att dessa spisar skall få ned emissionerna till acceptabla nivåer. I projektet kommer gruppen vid UGM att studera tillverkningen och förbränningen av briketter där briketter av olika kvalitet bränns under olika betingelser. Emissionerna mäts och partiklar samlas in för vidare studier på Chalmers där det finns en stor mängd utrustning för detta bl.a. mäts sotets reaktivitet.

New low cost energy resources, such as rice husk, straw and coconut shell briquettes are needed since wood has become scarce and the price increases continuously. Unfortunately the new energy resources accelerate the problem with high concentrations of particles and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. WHO states that air pollution is the largest single environmental health risk and most severe is the household pollution due to indoor smoke from cooking fuel. The objective of this project is to develop better understanding of how soot particles are formed in biomass combustion, how they burn in the fire and how the resulting ash can be removed from the exhaust. At Gadjah Mada University in Indonesia we will do experimental studies of how briquettes of different design will burn and form soot. At Chalmers University we will focus on how soot particles burn in the fire and can be trapped downstream. The co-workers in Indonesia have experience in briquette manufacturing and small scale biomass combustion. The group at Chalmers has experience in Computational Fluid Dynamics and in removing and burning particles in diesel exhaust. The combined knowledge will lead to new understanding and design concepts that can be used for making new stoves and furnaces with low emissions. Luftburna partiklar är globalt det absolut största miljöproblemet. WHO uppskattade i sin senaste rapport från 2014 att ca 7 miljoner människor dör per år (1/8 av alla dödsfall) på grund av luftburna föroreningar där partiklar är den allvarligaste komponenten. Av dessa 7 miljoner uppskattar man att 4,3 miljoner dödsfall per år är relaterade till inomhusluften. Förbränning av biomassa, främst ved har traditionellt varit den främsta källan till småskalig energiproduktion. I den industrialiserade delen av världen har vi gått över till billig el men i resten av världen är fortfarande småskalig förbränning av biomassa mycket viktigt. Denna förbränning har aldrig varit miljövänlig och mycket behöver göras för att få ner emissionerna till acceptabla nivåer. Utsläppen har t.o.m. förvärrats under senare år genom att ved blivit dyrare och nu alltmer ersätts av restprodukter från jord- och skogsbruk t.ex. risskal och halm. Avdelningen för Kemiteknik på Chalmers har haft långt samarbete med Gadjah Mada University (UGM) i Yogyakarta. Hittills har sex doktorander som fått sin grundutbildning vid UGM disputerat vid avdelningen för Kemiteknik på Chalmers. Alla dessa är för närvarande lärare eller forskare på olika universitet i Indonesien varav fem på UGM. För närvarande är två studenter från UGM anställda som doktorander vid Kemiteknik på Chalmers. Målet för det föreslagna projektet är att åstadkomma rena avgaser vid småskalig förbränning av biomassa. De sökande från Chalmers har erfarenhet av att arbeta med partikelinfångning och oxidation av sot för rening av avgaser från fordon. Gruppen vid UGM har arbetat med småskalig förbränning och tillverkning av briketter från biomassa. Vårt modellsystem är en enkel spis som vi bygger på Chalmers och vid UGM, en bakugn i Mocambique och en ugn för bränning av keramik i Indonesien. De två senare har vi redan gjort grundläggande studier på. Målet i dessa fall har varit bättre bränsleekonomi och bättre kvalitet på produkten. I detta projekt skall vi utveckla ett förbränningskoncept för ved och olika alternativ till vedeldning t.ex. briketter av risskall, halm eller kokosnötsskal. Vi behöver bättre förståelse för hur sotpartiklar bildas, hur de förbränns direkt i eldstaden och hur submikrometerstora partiklar kan fångas in och förbrännas med mycket lågt tryckfall. Det pågår flera projekt internationellt om hur spisar eldade med biomassa skall utformas och den kunskap om sotpartiklar som vi kan bidra med är central för att dessa spisar skall få ned emissionerna till acceptabla nivåer. I projektet kommer gruppen vid UGM att studera tillverkningen och förbränningen av briketter där briketter av olika kvalitet bränns under olika betingelser. Emissionerna mäts och partiklar samlas in för vidare studier på Chalmers där det finns en stor mängd utrustning för detta bl.a. mäts sotets reaktivitet. Partiklarnas egenskaper t.ex. storlek och reaktivitet behövs för att sedan kunna simulera olika tänkbara designer av förbränningsutrymme och partikelfällor.

As a result, a huge amount of agricultural waste is produced and currently burnt or used as animal feed. On the other hand, in higher income countries, like Sweden, a significant amount of research is being done in order to pretreat biomass, preferably using enzymes as more environmentally friendly catalysts, in order to implement it in a biorefinery concept for the production of biofuels and fine biochemicals. Considering Sweden?s commitment for sustainability, we request funding to continue our previous collaboration, funded by SIDA until the end of 2013, and expand it for the common interest of both countries. Sweden will gain further access to the high microbial biodiversity of the tropics and Viet Nam will gain in a multiple levels: Knowledge and competence transfer from Sweden, access to state-of-the-art equipment, possibilities to advance the results of our work to an enzyme producing start-up company located in Viet Nam and providing solutions for biomass pretreatment for bioethanol production and feed treatment for increased animal production efficiency. We plan to implement the results of the previous collaboration in field trials of enzyme mixtures for animal feed treatment and expand our work on biomass enzyme discovery with proteomics and genomic approaches in order to develop in-house tailor-made enzymes for the synthesis of novel biochemicals. Alla i Europa verkar tala om bioekonomi. Men vad är bioekonomi? Bioekonomi innebär att vi tar allt vi behöver från naturen, utan att skada vår miljö. Vi minskar föroreningsmängden till ett minimum, vi använder inte olja som transportmedel för våra bilar, vi använder inte plast eller något som inte kan återanvändas eller återvinnas, eller ännu bättre, brytas ner biologiskt. Allt vi använder produceras med minsta möjliga miljöpåverkan och inget går till spillo. Vi använder träd och marina växter på ett kontrollerat sätt att vi inte skadar ekosystemet och vi producerar bioplast, bioetanol och andra biokemikalier. För att uppnå detta måste det material vi samlar in från träden och marina växter, biomassa, förberedas på ett sådant sätt att det blir lättare att använda den. Vad gäller bioplaster, måste vi skilja olika komponenter i biomassan och ändra vissa av deras egenskaper. För produktion av biokemikalier, måste vi bryta ner biomassan till små osynliga delar, socker, som nästan är som sockret som vi använder i vårt kaffe eller te. I Europa försöker vi göra bioekonomi en realitet, men i låginkomstländer, som Viet Nam, behöver det mycket mer ansträngning för att uppnå det. Fattigdom, brist på kunskap och teknik samt okunskap om konsekvenserna av vårt fossila beroende liv, gör det svårare för människor att förstå de positiva effekterna av den biobaserade ekonomin, inte bara där men i hela världen. Detta projekt syftar till att ge nödvändiga kunskaper, tillgång till teknik och nya idéer, som kommer att hjälpa Viet Nam att utveckla egna bioraffinaderier. Bioraffinaderi är som en fabrik som tar biomassa, liksom den del av vete eller ris som inte äter vi, behandla det med enzymer eller andra metoder och sedan producera biobränslen eller biokemikalier, med hjälp av en jäst likartad med den som vi använder för att göra bröd, öl eller vin. Produktionen av dessa biokemikalier kommer att ge till Viet Nam fler jobbar, högre levnadsstandard, men också att förstå om vikten att minska beroendet för fossila bränslen och slösa naturresurser. Idag är tonnen av biprodukter från jordbruket brännas eller bortskaffas. I detta projekt kommer vi att söka efter nya mikroorganismer och enzymer som kan bryta ner biomassan till socker.

This project aims at a better understanding of some novel, practical tools to fight corruption in developing countries, leniency policies and whistle-blower protection and rewards schemes, and their interactions with analogous tools aimed at fighting cartels in public procurement. We will first theoretically address leniency policies and whistleblower rewards-protection schemes as tools to breach the trust-like relationship between corrupt parties, and their the interaction with analogous tools directed at breaking cartels; second, and most importantly, we will empirically study two important cases for the fight of corruption and mismanagement of public funds in developing countries for which we can collect reliable data (for the first time ever on the interaction between corruption and collusion): the ?Siemens case? and the ?Stadions case? in Brazil. Results will have a direct policy impact on how leniency and whistleblower programs against corruption and against bid rigging in procurement should be designed and administered, and on the connected sources of corruption and inefficiency in the procurement of large infrastructure projects in developing countries. The results are also likely to be relevant to related forms of organized crime plaguing developing countries (smuggling, drug cartels and human trafficking organizations).

Eftersom korruption genomsyrar statliga myndigheter, så hindrar detta själva verktyget som var tänkt att motverka det där polis, lagstadgande myndigheter och rättsväsendet blir en del av problemet självt. Att hitta verktyg att stävja korruption är därför av yttersta vikt och huvudsyftet med projektet. Framsteg inom området har utsikten att öka likväl ekonomisk tillväxt som institutionell utveckling. Korruptionsbekämpning är av särskild vikt i arbetet att öka tilltron till samhället och demokratin. Projektet syftar till att öka förståelsen och kunskapen kring nya tillämpbara verktyg för utvecklingsländer i synnerhet.

Projektet kommer först teoretiskt att genomlysa benådningssystemens och whistleblowings-systemens möjligheter att bryta de karaktäristiska, förtroenderelationerna mellan korrupta parter samt att vidare belysa motsvarande verktygs potential att bryta karteller. För det andra, och kanske viktigast, kommer projektet empiriskt undersöka två viktiga fall av korruptionsbekämpning och förslösning av offentliga medel.

However, so far REDD has been unable to curb the drivers of deforestation when facing complex realities of expanding agricultural frontiers, large-scale infrastructure projects and irrepressible markets. Smallholders´ multiple land uses play a central role in fighting climate change and as an important provider of ecosystem services (ES). This research therefore proposes to rethink how ES management and climate mitigation measures can be achieved. While approaching ES from a landscape perspective, this research seeks to investigate smallholders´ motivations and actions for ES management and how these might promote forest cover maintenance, and other forms of ES provision at the same time as it meet the smallholders´ livelihood needs. This will be investigated by using ethnographic and PRA methods in two contrasting country case studies, Brazil and Nepal. These findings will feed into a larger local discussion on motivations for ES management and potential incentive structures for collective action. Finally, the bureaucratic structures, processes and assemblages affecting such actions will be explored. This project engages with the timely and important issue of maintenance of ES, highlighting smallholders´ potential as contributors in ES management and climate change mitigation. En av de största utmaningarna för att hejda den globala uppvärmningen är att stoppa den pågående avskogningen i världen. Det görs stora ansträngningar på ett internationellt plan för att åstadkomma detta. Ett exempel på sådana ansträngningar är det FN-stödda REDD-programmet. Programmet fokuserar på olika grupper, ofta småbrukare och ursprungsfolk, som har etablerat sig på marker som globalt anses viktiga för att generera ekosystemtjänster (så som att reglera klimatet, tillhandahålla tillräckliga mängder rent vatten, cirkulera näringsämnen etc., förkortat ES). Tanken är att brukarna av marken ska betalas för att de antingen avstår eller kraftigt begränsar sig från att använda marken för produktion av mat och bränsle och istället bevarar skogen och/eller vattnet (det vill säga ES) i intakt skick. Avsikten är att biodiversitet, inlagring av kol, vatten- och näringscykler ska säkras. Dessvärre finns det forskning, däribland vår egen, som visar att REDD inte är så effektivt som avsetts och hittills inte har kunnat bromsa avskogningen, som bland annat orsakas av expanderande jordbruksmarker och marknader, samt storskaliga infrastrukturprojekt. REDDs fokus på att främst stoppa avverkningen och minska utsläpp av koldioxid riskerar också att slå hårt mot småbrukare som är beroende av skogen för att överleva. Om tillgången till skogens resurser begränsas så minskar deras försörjningsalternativ negativt. Det är därför av högsta vikt att studera hur småbrukare kan kombinera en minskad avskogning med bibehållen produktion av mat. Småbrukares mångfaldiga markanvändning har en central roll för att kunna bromsa klimatförändringar och tillhandahålla ES. Många småbrukare lyckas bevara skog och sina vattentäkter genom att kombinera jord- och skogsbruk. Emellertid så hanterar i stort sätt alla internationella, statliga och regionala stödprogram jordbruk och skogsskötsel som vitt skilda aktiviteter. Att kombinera dessa verksamheter istället för att skilja dem åt kräver ett integrerat landskapsperspektiv. Detta forskningsprojekt avser att studera ES från ett sådant landskapsperspektiv; att undersöka småbrukarnas intentioner och praktiker för att förvalta ES, och hur deras agerande kan bidra till att bevara skog, stärka ES i landskapet, samtidigt som de tryggar sin försörjning. Avsikten är att studera detta genom att jämföra två olika fall, ett i Nepal och ett i östra Amazonas i Brasilien. Dessa två områden skiljer sig givetvis radikalt åt, men det finns också gemensamma strukturer i hur småbrukare på båda platserna bedriver småskaligt jord- och skogsbruk. De tre forskningsfrågorna som vi ställer är följande: 1: Hur förvaltar och uppfattar småbrukare ekosystemtjänster (ES) i sina marker och i det omgivande landskapet i stort? 2: Vilka incitament kan förmå småbrukare, individuellt och kollektivt, att kombinera sin produktion av matgrödor med ett bevarande och förstärkande av ES? 3: Vilken påverkan har regional och lokal byråkrati och handlingsprogram för brukarnas möjligheter att kombinera matproduktion med ett bevarande av ES (stärkande, hindrande, neutralt)? För att besvara dessa frågor i Nepal och Brasilien och även på ett generellt plan så kommer vi att bedriva så kallade etnografiska studier. Detta innebär att vi gör fältarbete på plats, studerar hur småbrukare agerar i praktiken, att vi genomför olika former av intervjuer, att vi låter människor själva beskriva sina landskap, sin jordbruks- och skogsproduktion och att vi analyserar lag- och policytexter och ser hur dessa implementeras i verkligheten. Projektet undersöker den akuta och viktiga frågan om att upprätthålla ES i landskapet med syftet att bidra till förståelsen av den ömsesidiga påverkan mellan jord-och skogsbruk, något som är mycket viktigt för framtida planering av ES-åtgärder. För att förse de politiska beslutsfattarna med nödvändig bakgrundsinformation behövs platsspecifika studier om ES och deras värden för de lokala samhällena.

De tre forskningsfrågorna som vi ställer är följande: 1: Hur förvaltar och uppfattar småbrukare ekosystemtjänster (ES) i sina marker och i det omgivande landskapet i stort? 2: Vilka incitament kan förmå småbrukare, individuellt och kollektivt, att kombinera sin produktion av matgrödor med ett bevarande och förstärkande av ES? 3: Vilken påverkan har regional och lokal byråkrati och handlingsprogram för brukarnas möjligheter att kombinera matproduktion med ett bevarande av ES (stärkande, hindrande, neutralt)? För att besvara dessa frågor i Nepal och Brasilien och även på ett generellt plan så kommer vi att bedriva så kallade etnografiska studier. Detta innebär att vi gör fältarbete på plats, studerar hur småbrukare agerar i praktiken, att vi genomför olika former av intervjuer, att vi låter människor själva beskriva sina landskap, sin jordbruks- och skogsproduktion och att vi analyserar lag- och policytexter och ser hur dessa implementeras i verkligheten. Projektet undersöker den akuta och viktiga frågan om att upprätthålla ES i landskapet med syftet att bidra till förståelsen av den ömsesidiga påverkan mellan jord-och skogsbruk, något som är mycket viktigt för framtida planering av ES-åtgärder. För att förse de politiska beslutsfattarna med nödvändig bakgrundsinformation behövs platsspecifika studier om ES och deras värden för de lokala samhällena.

However, this hypothesis has until recently never been studied in countries that have been torn by internal armed conflict. Building on findings from a recent study on Rwanda, the present proposal suggests, counter to the hypothesis, that due to the different types and levels of trauma exposure women and men are subjected to in war, women will have significantly more negative attitudes than men to issues of relevance for peacebuilding. In essence, we suggest that there is a gendered effect on peacebuilding attitudes that go through exposure to war-related trauma and psychological health. Using a cross-disciplinary approach, combining peace research with psychology, this project will conduct surveys, focus groups, and in depth interviews in Sierra Leone and Liberia, to explore the challenges of and attitudes towards post-conflict peacebuilding among women and men. The project will make a unique contribution theoretically but also practically by increasing our knowledge of women´s and men´s experiences of and attitudes to peacebuilding in post-conflict settings, and the reasons for these attitudes, which will provide critical information for understanding the challenges of peace-building, and ultimately for improving the prospects for peace. Kvinnor är mer fredsälskande än män. Det ligger i deras natur; de är uppfostrade till det; det bara är så. Eller är det verkligen så? Inom fredsforskningen finns en grundläggande hypotes kring kvinnor och attityder till fred: ´kvinnor och fred´-hypotesen. Enligt hypotesen är kvinnor fredligare och villigare att kompromissa än män. Hypotesen har länge varit en viktig influens i tankar om könsroller och konflikt, inom såväl forskningen som samhället i stort. Men när forskare har undersökt hypotesen i sina studier har de fått blandade resultat. I västländer har studierna gällt exempelvis attityder till att inleda krig i andra länder, och forskarna har då sett fredligare attityder hos kvinnor än hos män. I Mellanöstern, å andra sidan, har studierna fokuserat på regionens pågående konflikt mellan Israel och arabländer, och då har ingen skillnad setts mellan mäns och kvinnors attityder. Och hur är det i länder som upplevt inbördeskrig? Det föreslagna projektet har framförallt två viktiga bidrag till teorin kring ´kvinnor och fred´-hypotesen: 1) det skulle vara det första forskningsprojektet att undersöka hypotesen i länder efter inbördeskrig ? den vanligaste formen av krig i världen i dag, 2) det skulle studera hur gender (kön) och krigsupplevelser påverkar attityder till fred. Rent praktiskt skulle mer kunskap om kvinnors och mäns attityder till fredsprocesser, och vad som påverkar dessa attityder, ge möjligheter att förbättra förutsättningarna till hållbar fred efter inbördeskrig. Projektet kombinerar fredsforskning med psykologisk forskning och skulle med hjälp av enkäter, fokusgrupper och djupintervjuer i Liberia och Sierra Leone studera hur gender (kön) påverkar attityder till fred, och till vilken grad dessa attityder påverkas av krigstrauman. Män och kvinnor drabbas av olika typer av våld och övergrepp i krig ? fler män blir dödade i krig, medan fler kvinnor utsätts för icke-dödligt våld som tex sexuellt våld. Efter inbördeskrig fortsätter man att leva sida vid sida, som innan kriget. Det är därför av största vikt att få en bättre förståelse för om och i så fall hur kvinnors och mäns olika upplevelser av kriget kan påverka deras respektive attityder till fred och försoning. Baserat på tidigare forskning från Rwanda, ställer sig projektet frågan om det är så att fredsbyggande fasen innebär utmaningar som tidigare inte har uppmärksammats för kvinnor.

Virtually all high income countries have such policies in place, and typically they cover all developing countries. This project asks: What happens when developing countries are graduated (withdrawn) from such preference programs? Even though graduation is increasingly common, there is next to no research on its effects. To answer the question, country- and firm-level trade and investment data is used, and advanced econometric models test the effects on several economic outcomes such as export earnings, export diversification and foreign direct investment. The project is important for two main reasons. (i) The countries that are graduated may face severe adverse effects when meeting increasing trade barriers to their export markets. Identifying those effects is therefore of direct policy relevance for current or future graduated countries (these are primarily middle income countries). (ii) Focusing on countries leaving rather than entering preference programs offers strong methodological advantages when evaluating the effects of trade preference programs, so the project will also produce much more reliable results concerning the effect of trade preference programs. Conclusions will therefore be relevant to all low and middle income countries. Vad händer när utvecklingsländer plötsligt möter höjda barriärer för export till rika länder? Internationell handel ses allmänt som ett viktigt redskap för att åstadkomma ökad ekonomisk tillväxt i låg- och medelinkomstländer (dvs de som ofta kallas *utvecklingsländer*). Ekonomisk tillväxt är i sin tur en nyckelfaktor för att få fart på fattigdomsbekämpning och utveckling. Visserligen är det viktigt att påpeka att ekonomisk tillväxt inte alltid behöver leda till exempelvis minskad fattigdom eftersom många länder präglas av en väldigt ojämlik fördelning av ekonomiska och andra resurser. Trots det så står det ganska klart att det är betydligt lättare att hjälpa särskilt utsatta grupper när hela ekonomin växer jämfört med en situation där ekonomin stagnerat. Eftersom det alltså finns ett positivt samband mellan å ena sidan internationell handel och ekonomisk tillväxt, och å andra sidan ekonomisk tillväxt och minskad fattigdom och andra viktiga utvecklingsmål, så är det högintressant för forskningen att utvärdera policyer som påverkar utvecklingsländers möjligheter att exportera till rikare marknader. När det gäller just utvecklingsländers exportmöjligheter så påverkas de i hög grad av s.k. icke-ömsesidiga handelspreferenser (kallas ofta bara handelspreferenser). Handelspreferenser är ett policyredskap där rikare ekonomier tillämpar lägre tullar och andra handelshinder på export som kommer från utvecklingsländer än på export som kommer från andra höginkomstländer. I det här projektet studeras vad som händer när utvecklingsländer utesluts från preferenshandelsprogram (detta kallas rent tekniskt att landet *graderas*). Vi använder empirisk data på bland annat handel och investeringar från multinationella företag, och undersöker med hjälp av statistiska modeller hur t.ex. exportintäkter, exportdiversifiering och investeringar påverkas då länder graderas. Varför är det viktigt att studera vad som händer när länder graderas från preferenshandelsprogram? Vi tror att det finns åtminstone två viktiga lärdomar som kan dras utifrån det här forskningsprojektet. För det första finns det i nuläget så gott som ingen forskning alls som fokuserar på gradering, så vi vet ytterst lite om vad följderna blir. Kanske drabbas t.ex. de graderade länder av kraftigt minskade exportflöden när de plötsligt möter högre handelsbarriärer än tidigare, eller kanske är de såpass konkurrenskraftiga att de klarar övergången utan större problem. Att ta reda på vad följderna blir är därför viktigt, både för att möjliggöra för de berörda länderna att själva anpassa sin politik så att de kan motverka de potentiella negativa effekterna, och för att hjälpa de länder som tillämpar graderingen att utvärdera policyn. En andra viktig lärdom som indirekt kan dras utifrån projektet är om preferenshandelsprogram i sig faktiskt har den effekt som man hoppas. Visserligen finns det redan en hel del forskning som undersöker om handelspreferenser faktiskt ökar exportflöden från utvecklingsländer, men så gott som alla studier har det gemensamt att de fokuserar på vad som händer omedelbart efter det att landet får tillgång till nya handelspreferenser. Utifrån ett forskningsperspektiv så är det, hävdar vi, en mycket tveksam metodologi för att utvärdera effekterna. Ett problem är att man kan ifrågasätta om länderna verkligen kan dra nytta av sänkta handelsbarriärer från en dag till en annan eftersom det rimligen tar tid att ändra produktionsstrukturer och sätta sig in i nya regelverk. Ett annat problem är att de flesta handelspreferensprogram funnits i 40-50 år, vilket innebär att man alltså i praktiken utvärderar vilken effekt det hade när länderna fick tillgång till preferenserna så tidigt som på 1960-talet. Eftersom vi i vårt projekt istället studerar vad som händer när utvecklingsländer lämnar preferensprogrammen så hävdar vi att vi mycket lättare kan utvärdera vilken effekt handelspreferenserna haft.

Virtually all high income countries have such policies in place, and typically they cover all developing countries. This project asks: What happens when developing countries are graduated (withdrawn) from such preference programs? Even though graduation is increasingly common, there is next to no research on its effects. To answer the question, country- and firm-level trade and investment data is used, and advanced econometric models test the effects on several economic outcomes such as export earnings, export diversification and foreign direct investment. The project is important for two main reasons. (i) The countries that are graduated may face severe adverse effects when meeting increasing trade barriers to their export markets. Identifying those effects is therefore of direct policy relevance for current or future graduated countries (these are primarily middle income countries). (ii) Focusing on countries leaving rather than entering preference programs offers strong methodological advantages when evaluating the effects of trade preference programs, so the project will also produce much more reliable results concerning the effect of trade preference programs. Conclusions will therefore be relevant to all low and middle income countries. Vad händer när utvecklingsländer plötsligt möter höjda barriärer för export till rika länder? Internationell handel ses allmänt som ett viktigt redskap för att åstadkomma ökad ekonomisk tillväxt i låg- och medelinkomstländer (dvs de som ofta kallas *utvecklingsländer*). Ekonomisk tillväxt är i sin tur en nyckelfaktor för att få fart på fattigdomsbekämpning och utveckling. Visserligen är det viktigt att påpeka att ekonomisk tillväxt inte alltid behöver leda till exempelvis minskad fattigdom eftersom många länder präglas av en väldigt ojämlik fördelning av ekonomiska och andra resurser. Trots det så står det ganska klart att det är betydligt lättare att hjälpa särskilt utsatta grupper när hela ekonomin växer jämfört med en situation där ekonomin stagnerat. Eftersom det alltså finns ett positivt samband mellan å ena sidan internationell handel och ekonomisk tillväxt, och å andra sidan ekonomisk tillväxt och minskad fattigdom och andra viktiga utvecklingsmål, så är det högintressant för forskningen att utvärdera policyer som påverkar utvecklingsländers möjligheter att exportera till rikare marknader. När det gäller just utvecklingsländers exportmöjligheter så påverkas de i hög grad av s.k. icke-ömsesidiga handelspreferenser (kallas ofta bara handelspreferenser). Handelspreferenser är ett policyredskap där rikare ekonomier tillämpar lägre tullar och andra handelshinder på export som kommer från utvecklingsländer än på export som kommer från andra höginkomstländer. I det här projektet studeras vad som händer när utvecklingsländer utesluts från preferenshandelsprogram (detta kallas rent tekniskt att landet *graderas*). Vi använder empirisk data på bland annat handel och investeringar från multinationella företag, och undersöker med hjälp av statistiska modeller hur t.ex. exportintäkter, exportdiversifiering och investeringar påverkas då länder graderas. Varför är det viktigt att studera vad som händer när länder graderas från preferenshandelsprogram? Vi tror att det finns åtminstone två viktiga lärdomar som kan dras utifrån det här forskningsprojektet. För det första finns det i nuläget så gott som ingen forskning alls som fokuserar på gradering, så vi vet ytterst lite om vad följderna blir. Kanske drabbas t.ex. de graderade länder av kraftigt minskade exportflöden när de plötsligt möter högre handelsbarriärer än tidigare, eller kanske är de såpass konkurrenskraftiga att de klarar övergången utan större problem. Att ta reda på vad följderna blir är därför viktigt, både för att möjliggöra för de berörda länderna att själva anpassa sin politik så att de kan motverka de potentiella negativa effekterna, och för att hjälpa de länder som tillämpar graderingen att utvärdera policyn. En andra viktig lärdom som indirekt kan dras utifrån projektet är om preferenshandelsprogram i sig faktiskt har den effekt som man hoppas. Visserligen finns det redan en hel del forskning som undersöker om handelspreferenser faktiskt ökar exportflöden från utvecklingsländer, men så gott som alla studier har det gemensamt att de fokuserar på vad som händer omedelbart efter det att landet får tillgång till nya handelspreferenser.

The decline of Jiroft is unknown, but this could be related to regional climate change during the Holocene (ca. 6300 BP), which impacted precipitation, landscape evolution, and vegetation. This link is tenuous since high-resolution paleoclimate records from Iran and the middle-east are very scarce. Moreover, the existing studies have low temporal resolution or large uncertainties in age. In this study, we will investigate the Holocene climate variability, feedback mechanisms, and its impacts on early human societies that developed in the region. The study will focus on Lake Jazmourian, a large freshwater body near Jiroft. Our goals are to: 1) reconstruct a high-resolution Holocene paleoclimate record based on 14C age and various geochemical and geophysical proxies, 2) determine vegetation changes based on diagnostic biomarkers and pollen, and 3) correlate the data with other proxy records from the region. We will establish a two-way knowledge exchange, and the new research initiatives and strategic collaboration will provide fresh insights, benefit exchange of students and scientists, and improve existing research facilities in Iran. Moreover, our efforts will contribute in filling knowledge gaps and generate a detailed paleoclimate record tracing past changes. These data will provide a baseline for future actions related to regional climate change and its long-term impacts. Den antika staden Jiroft på den iranska platån har vuxit fram som en viktig arkeologisk plats med jiroftkulturen som en av de tidigaste identifierbara kulturerna i södra Asien.

Till exempel kommer vi att jämföra med dokumentation från andra persiska sjöar, torv, marina sediment i Indiska oceanen och avlagringar i grottor från Etopien och Oman. Dessa analyser och jämförelser kan ge svar på hur de olika ekosystemen, sjöarna, våtmarkerna och den terrestra vegetationen påverkades av förändringar i temperatur och nederbörd, om förändringarna skedde samtidigt i Iran och andra delar av regionen, och om förändringarna var gradvisa eller abrupta.

The changing circumstances call for a renewed focus on the implications and challenges of development cooperation. The overall aim of this project is to investigate the nature and implications of the changing aid landscape. Focusing primarily on Sub-Saharan Africa, we intend to investigate the nature of the new forms of development cooperation, its distributional consequences and the challenges it brings in terms of governance, within as well as across countries. Doing so, we will highlight sources of inequity that needs addressing and how to best organize development cooperation so as to ensure aid effectiveness in the world?s poorest region. In the first part of the project we will characterize the new aid patterns and build a database incorporating the new aid flows and actors not included in existing data materials. In the second and third parts of the project we will investigate the distributional consequences of the new forms of aid and the governance challenges it brings, both within recipient countries and in terms of multi- and bilateral development cooperation. The empirical investigations will thus involve compiling and analyzing data on aid flows, coupled with macro and micro level data on inequality patterns and records of the implementation of specific aid projects. Det internationella utvecklingssamarbetet har genomgått stora förändringar under det senaste årtiondet. Nya biståndsaktörer, nya finansieringskällor och nya former för utvecklingssamarbete har fått en allt större roll i utvecklingssamarbete. Samtidigt som de traditionella givarna i väst har fått sällskap av nya givarländer som Kina och Indien kombineras nu i allt större utsträckning traditionellt bistånd med privata biståndsflöden, exportkrediter och investeringar. Mot bakgrund av dessa förändrade förutsättningar finns ett stort behov av en ny analys av utvecklingssamarbetets effekter och utmaningar. Det övergripande syftat med detta projekt är att undersöka på vilket sätt det biståndspolitiska landskapet har förändrats och vad det har fått för följder. Med fokus på Afrika söder om Sahara avser vi studera hur utvecklingssamarbetet förändrats under det senaste årtiondet, samt undersöka vilka utmaningar och konsekvenser dessa förändringar innebär för samhällsstyrning och fördelning. Den planerade forskningen kan delas in i tre delar. I ett första steg undersöker vi hur utvecklingssamarbetets struktur och karaktär förändrats. Detta kommer innefatta en kartläggning av nya biståndsaktörer, samarbetsformer och biståndsflöden - information som i vissa fall är svårtillgänglig och ännu inte finns i ett samlat datamaterial. I projektets andra del fokuserar vi på det nya biståndets fördelning mellan länder - enligt vilka principer de nya givarna fördelar sitt bistånd och vilka mottagarländer som gynnats (/missgynnats) av det förändrade biståndslandskapet - samt i vilken utsträckning det ligger i linje med de internationella riktlinjer för ökad biståndseffektivitet (Paris-agendan). I projektets sista del analyserar vi förhållandena inom afrikanska mottagarländer. Precis som i projektets föregående del ligger fokus på det nya biståndets konsekvenser för samhällsstyrning och fördelning, men nu avseende fördelning och styre inom snarare än mellan länder. Huvudfrågan är i vilken utsträckning det nya biståndet når den stora massan eller tillfaller redan relativt välbemedlade grupper, dvs. om det avhjälper eller bidrar till ojämlikhet inom mottagarländer. En viktig del i denna analys är att studera hur samhällsstyrningen påverkas av de nya flödena och hur den påverkar utfallet. För att kunna tackla den fattigdom och de ojämlikheter som existerar i många länder söder om Sahara behöver makthavare i givar- och mottagar-länder en tydlig bild av dagens utvecklingssamarbete och dess konsekvenser.

Genom att belysa det förändrade biståndslandskapet, dess fördelningskonsekvenser och de utmaningar det medför för samhällsstyrning inom och mellan länder hoppas vi bidra till en ökad kunskap om hur man bäst uppnår ett effektivt och rättvist utvecklingssamarbete.

In our project, multiple coordinated relays are used to satisfy the users quality-of-service requirements, with minimum impacts on the environment. The main objectives of the proposal are to improve the power efficiency, increase the portion of renewable energy in the wireless networks and develop carbon-reducing systems. To improve the power efficiency, we perform adaptive power allocation, harvest the required energy from renewable energy resources/interference and implement the power amplifiers properly. To cope with global warming and facilitate sustainable development, we add the radio pollution into the problem formulation, as a minimization goal. Advance mathematical tools, such as machine learning, game theory and stochastic geometry, are used for joint relay selection and power allocation. Compared to all current wireless networks, our project is a new paradigm as we change the interference from the most undesirable factor to something good improving the power efficiency. The project is collaboration between Chalmers University of Tech., Sweden, and Sharif University of Tech., Iran. This is an initiative for long-term collaboration and attracting more grants/partners. During the project, we will have regular technical meetings and several research visits. Joint conference/journal papers are written and we present joint tutorials/workshops in the outstanding related conferences. Trådlös kommunikation bidrar med ca 2% av de globala CO2-utsläppen, och energiåtgången förväntas öka med 16-20% per år. Användandet av trådlöst bredband ökar exponentiellt, så ?grön kommunikation?, dvs reduktion av energiåtgången för trådlös kommunikation, är en central utmaning. Vi föreslår ett projekt inom miljövänlig multi-hop-baserad trådlös kommunikation. Genom multipla koordinerade reläer är det möjligt att förtäta kommunikationsnätet och möjliggöra ständig kommunikation, överallt och med allting, i linje med målen för nästa generation trådlösa system. Multipla koordinerade reläer har potentialen att uppfylla användarkraven på tillgänglighet och kommunikationskvalitet i publika tätbefolkade områden med minimal påverkan på miljön. De huvudsakliga målen med projektet är att förbättra energi-effektiviteten och att öka andelen förnyelsebar energi i trådlösa nätverk. För att hantera problemet med den globala uppvärmningen och för att underlätta hållbar utveckling så inkluderar vi både radio-prestanda och energi-effektivitet i vår problemformulering. Vi studerar adaptiv effekt- och spektrum-allokering med målet att åstadkomma energieffektiv trådlös kommunikation. Systemet kommer att tillåta att en stor del av den behövda energin skördas från förnyelsebara energi-resurser, och styrningen av systemet möjliggör att effektförstärkarna hos radiosändarna kan förbättras. Denna styrning kan åstadkommas genom att vi utvecklar en komplett modell för energi-förbrukningen i det trådlösa reläsystemet. Modellen har användbarhet även för mer generella typer av trådlösa kommunikationssystem. Detta nät kommer även tillåta att skörda energi från radiomiljön, dvs interferens kommer att återanvändas för att driva relänoderna. Detta är ett paradigmskifte inom design av trådlösa system. Genom att energitillförseln kommer huvudsakligen från förnyelsebara källor och relänoderna baseras på billig hårdvara kommer systemet vara attraktivt att bygga, speciellt för utvecklingsländer. Projektet är ett treårigt internationellt samarbete mellan Chalmers tekniska högskola i Sverige och Sharif University of Technology, vilket är det högst rankade universitetet i Iran. Projektet kommer att lägga grunden för ett långsiktigt samarbete mellan Chalmers och Sharif, och det kommer att användas för att attrahera ytterligare samarbete och forskningsfinanisering. Iran har länge varit ett viktigt land för vår rekrytering till våra master- och doktorandprogram på Chalmers. Detta projekt kommer att stärka dessa band, då de försvagats de senaste åren genom Irans nuvarande svaga valuta. Vi kommer att arrangera återkommande fysiska möten, tekniska möten på distans samt åtminstone ett forskarutbyte per år. Våra gemensamma forskningsresultat kommer att generera gemensamma konferensbidrag och artiklar och vi ämnar arrangera gemensamma sessioner och föreläsningar i samband med de bästa internationella konferenserna inom forskningsområdet.

Joint conference/journal papers are written and we present joint tutorials/workshops in the outstanding related conferences. Trådlös kommunikation bidrar med ca 2% av de globala CO2-utsläppen, och energiåtgången förväntas öka med 16-20% per år. Användandet av trådlöst bredband ökar exponentiellt, så ?grön kommunikation?, dvs reduktion av energiåtgången för trådlös kommunikation, är en central utmaning. Vi föreslår ett projekt inom miljövänlig multi-hop-baserad trådlös kommunikation. Genom multipla koordinerade reläer är det möjligt att förtäta kommunikationsnätet och möjliggöra ständig kommunikation, överallt och med allting, i linje med målen för nästa generation trådlösa system. Multipla koordinerade reläer har potentialen att uppfylla användarkraven på tillgänglighet och kommunikationskvalitet i publika tätbefolkade områden med minimal påverkan på miljön. De huvudsakliga målen med projektet är att förbättra energi-effektiviteten och att öka andelen förnyelsebar energi i trådlösa nätverk. För att hantera problemet med den globala uppvärmningen och för att underlätta hållbar utveckling så inkluderar vi både radio-prestanda och energi-effektivitet i vår problemformulering. Vi studerar adaptiv effekt- och spektrum-allokering med målet att åstadkomma energieffektiv trådlös kommunikation. Systemet kommer att tillåta att en stor del av den behövda energin skördas från förnyelsebara energi-resurser, och styrningen av systemet möjliggör att effektförstärkarna hos radiosändarna kan förbättras. Denna styrning kan åstadkommas genom att vi utvecklar en komplett modell för energi-förbrukningen i det trådlösa reläsystemet. Modellen har användbarhet även för mer generella typer av trådlösa kommunikationssystem. Detta nät kommer även tillåta att skörda energi från radiomiljön, dvs interferens kommer att återanvändas för att driva relänoderna. Detta är ett paradigmskifte inom design av trådlösa system. Genom att energitillförseln kommer huvudsakligen från förnyelsebara källor och relänoderna baseras på billig hårdvara kommer systemet vara attraktivt att bygga, speciellt för utvecklingsländer. Projektet är ett treårigt internationellt samarbete mellan Chalmers tekniska högskola i Sverige och Sharif University of Technology, vilket är det högst rankade universitetet i Iran. Projektet kommer att lägga grunden för ett långsiktigt samarbete mellan Chalmers och Sharif, och det kommer att användas för att attrahera ytterligare samarbete och forskningsfinanisering. Iran har länge varit ett viktigt land för vår rekrytering till våra master- och doktorandprogram på Chalmers. Detta projekt kommer att stärka dessa band, då de försvagats de senaste åren genom Irans nuvarande svaga valuta. Vi kommer att arrangera återkommande fysiska möten, tekniska möten på distans samt åtminstone ett forskarutbyte per år. Våra gemensamma forskningsresultat kommer att generera gemensamma konferensbidrag och artiklar och vi ämnar arrangera gemensamma sessioner och föreläsningar i samband med de bästa internationella konferenserna inom forskningsområdet.

Together, we have a common interest to improve the scientific understanding of water fluxes in present and future climates, and to use this knowledge for sustainable water management and climate change adaptation. The work will be based on participatory processes to establish a shared open-source hydrological model of the Niger River basin. In addition, end-user interactions will guide data compilation and visualisation, and the potential for local operationalisation. Specifically, this project aims to: (1) perform collaborative research experiments and provide climate change impact information for a large set of end-users in the region; (2) stimulate practical utilization of new quality-assured water information among end-users in the Niger River basin for more efficient water management; (3) strengthen and establish new collaborations between Swedish scientists and researchers in West Africa. Vatten är en förutsättning för matförsörjning och nationell utveckling. I Västafrika varierar vattentillgången mellan extrema torrår och kraftiga översvämningar. Detta ställer redan stora krav på beredskap och återhämtning mellan olika år. Klimatforskningen tyder dessutom på att situationen kan förvärras ytterligare p.g.a. den globala uppvärmningen. De som är mest sårbara för variationer i vattentillgång är de fattiga och kvinnor som jobbar med jordbruk. De har inte resurser att förbereda sig och de har inte tillgång till information om ändrade förhållanden. Genom ökad kunskap om vattenresurserna i nutida och framtida klimat kan regionens kapacitet att hantera sina utmaningar höjas. Det här projektet har som mål att fördjupa existerande och utveckla nya samarbeten mellan vattenforskare i Sverige och Västafrika (i Burkina Faso, Mali och vid regionala forskningsinstitut i Niger). Ett sådant samarbete är nödvändigt eftersom olika forskargrupper har olika nyckelkompetenser som är nödvändiga för att nå en hållbar vattenanvändning och klimatanpassning i Sahel. Forskare i Västafrika har bäst kunskap om lokala hydrologiska processer medan forskare i Sverige har IT-teknologi med flexibla och öppna beräkningssystem som kan integrera olika typer av kunskap över stora områden. SMHI arbetar tillsammans med vattenforskare vid det regionala forskningscentret AGRHYMET med att utveckla och anpassa ett tekniskt beräkningssystem för Nigerflodens avrinningsområde. För att maximera nyttan av det arbetet krävs vetenskapligt utbyte, vilket är det primära syftet med detta samarbetsprojekt. Projektet är uppdelat i tre delar och fyra olika aktiviteter. Första delen handlar om att fördjupa samarbetet med AGRHYMET genom att göra gemensamma datorbaserade experiment kring vattenmiljön i Sahel. Resultaten ska analyseras gemensamt vid ett antal forskarvistelser i Sverige, Burkina Faso, Niger och Mali. Det tekniska beräknings-systemet har potential att användas både på nationell och regional nivå som stöd för vattenplanering, ytterligare forskning och utbildning, samt i operationella varningstjänster för översvämning och torka. Andra delen i projektet fokuserar därför på att sprida resultaten och slutsatserna till andra forskare och användare som redan visat intresse för våra resultat. De representerar myndigheter och icke-statliga organisationer med ansvar för frågor kring ekosystemtjänster, bevattningssystem, vattenhushållning, erosionsskydd, stadsplanering och meteorologiska och hydrologiska prognoser. För att beräkningsresultaten ska vara användbara behöver data sammanställas och visualiseras efter användarnas behov. Detta ska göras tillsammans med användarna i regionen, bla under en större workshop. Slutligen kommer vi i projektets tredje del att analysera styrkor och svagheter i resultaten och beräkningssystemet tillsammans med ett antal forskare i Mali och Burkina Faso, vid ett forskarseminarium. Slutsatserna av analysen kommer ligga till grund för en ny gemensam projektansökan som syftar till att förbättra de operationella prognosmodellerna i regionen, vilket ger bättre beslutsunderlag för vattenanvändning och klimatanpassning i Västafrika.

Worst affected are poor people living in vulnerable communities in tropical and sub-tropical regions. Vector control by insecticides is the dominant way to combat and prevent transmission of mosquito-borne diseases. Due to globalization, environmental changes and increased insecticide resistance, there is an urgent need for new approaches and strategies for efficient vector control. This proposal aims to design, synthesize and develop multiple novel chemical classes of insecticides for control of Aedes aegypti (transmits e.g. dengue and chikungunya) and Anopheles gambiae (transmits malaria). We will target a form of acetylcholinesterase (AChE1) not present in vertebrates, and identify diverse selective chemical starting points by high throughput screening (HTS). Evaluation of a performed HTS targeting mosquito AChE1 has shown promising results. We have identified several classes of substances that are selective for the mosquito-form over human AChE. These multiple chemical starting points will be synthetically explored and optimized into insecticides. Early on in the discovery process we will include, in addition to the target-specific endpoints, response estimates that address human safety, environmental fate and effect, resistance sensitivity, and cost of goods. Mosquito testing, including laboratory testing and field studies, will be performed in Kenya. Nya insekticider för hållbar och effektiv bekämpning av sjukdomsbärande myggor Ett stort antal virus- och parasitsjukdomar sprids mellan människor eller från djur till människa av blodsugande insekter som till exempel myggor. Myggorna får i sig den sjukdomsframkallande mikroorganismen när de suger blod från en infekterad värd och överför senare infektionen till nästa individ som den biter. Myggorna är då så kallade vektorer för sjukdomen. Varje år infekteras mer än en miljard människor och mer än en miljon människor dör av vektorburna sjukdomar som malaria, dengue och chikungunya. Värst drabbade är fattiga människor som lever under svåra förhållanden, främst i tropiska och subtropiska regioner. De individer som löper störst risk att drabbas är små barn, gravida kvinnor, människor med HIV och de som är drabbade av naturkatastrofer och humanitära nödsituationer. Det stora antalet infekterade individer leder också till en ökad fattigdom på grund av medicinska kostnader och att de drabbade blir svaga och orkeslösa och därmed inte längre kan arbeta och bidra till familjeförsörjningen. Bekämpning av vektorburna sjukdomar har därför en central roll för fattigsdomsbekämpning och ekonomisk utveckling i låg- och medelinkomst länder. Klimatförändringar och ökad globalisering har medfört en ökning i både antal och utbredning av sjukdomsspridande myggor. Detta innebär en ökad risk för epidemiska utbrott och en spridning av myggor till tempererade regioner. Till exempel så har myggan som sprider dengue nu påträffats i 20 europeiska länder. En effektiv metod för bekämpning av myggburna sjukdomar är vektorkontroll med hjälp av insekticider. Tyvärr har det utvecklats stammar av sjukdomsspridande myggor som är okänsliga mot samtliga kemiska klasser av insekticider som kan användas idag. Myggorna har utvecklat resistens mot insekticiderna. Detta utgör ett allvarligt hot mot kampen för att bekämpa sjukdomar som malaria, framför allt i Afrika. Ökningen av utbredning och antal sjukdomsspridande myggor, tillsammans med en ökad insekticidresistens på grund av ensidig vektorkontroll, har frambringat ett akut behov av alternativa strategier och tillvägagångssätt for bekämpning av sjudomsspridande myggor. Målet med detta forskningsprogam är att forska fram nya insekticider som specifikt angriper myggor som sprider bland annat malaria, dengue och chikungunya. De nya insekticiderna ska förhindra funktionen av ett för myggan livsnödvändigt protein, ett protein som inte finns hos ryggradsdjur. Vi har testat ett stort antal organiska substanser och upptäckt nya substanser som är lämpliga startpunkter för vidare utveckling till insekticider. Dessa startpunkter kommer att undersökas, modifieras och optimeras med experimentella och datorbaserade tekniker. I utvecklingsprocessen av insekticiderna kommer vi att utföra ett flertal proteinspecifika tester, men vi kommer även tidigt i processen att inkludera hälsoaspekter, miljöpåverkan, resistenskänslighet och framställningskostnad av insekticiderna. Försök på myggor kommer att genomföras i laboratoriemiljö och genom fältstudier i Kenya.

These resistant bacteria may easily spread between patients in the hospital setting in the absence of proper hygiene. Escherichia coli, present in the normal human gut, may produce enzymes called Extended Spectrum â-Lactamases (ESBL) or carbapenemases, which degrade penicillins, cephalosporins and carbapenems, respectively. There is no study in Africa, including Tanzania, investigating the risk to acquire ESBL- or carbapenemas-producing E. coli during hospital stay. We will investigate this risk for patients in the pediatric and gynecological units at a hospital in the Moshi area, Tanzania. The prevalence of colonization in faeces will be related to antibiotic use and possible contamination of the hospital environment with these bacteria. For comparison colonization of patients in the outpatient setting will be investigated as well. The prevalence of the globally present O25b-ST131 clone said to be largely responsible for the spread of ESBL will be determined as will the genotypes of ESBL- and carbapenemas-producing strains to elucidate possible transmission routes. The results will be used to increase the local knowledge of basic hygiene routines and their implementation in daily hospital care in order to decrease the spread of multiresistant bacteria between patients. The study will also increase the competence at the local microbiological laboratory in diagnosing resistant bacteria. Bakterier som är resistenta mot antibiotika ökar i hela världen, vilket leder till svårigheter att behandla vanliga infektioner såsom urinvägsinfektioner, sårinfektioner och blodförgiftning. Resistenta bakterier kan spridas mellan individer i samhället, men risken för spridning är mycket större på sjukhus, särskilt vid brister i basala hygienrutiner. I låginkomstländer saknas ofta medel och kompetens för övervakning av resistenta bakterier på sjukhuset och ute i samhället. Escherichia coli (E. coli ) är en vanlig tarmbakterie, som kan producera olika enzymer såsom Extended Spektrum Beta-Laktamaser (ESBL) eller karbapenemaser. Dessa enzymer bryter ner vanliga antibiotika som ofta används på sjukhus, inklusive penicilliner och cefalosporiner, respektive karbapenemer. I många fall är dessa bakterier multiresistenta, vilket innebär att få eller inga behandlingsalternativ återstår. Frekvensen av både ESBL-bärande och karbapenemresistenta E. coli har ökat över hela världen och utgör idag ett av de främsta hoten mot människans hälsa. I detta projekt kommer vi att undersöka förekomsten av kolonisering av ESBL- och karbapenemas-producerande E. coli hos kvinnor och barn i feces vid inskrivning på gynekologiska respektive pediatriska avdelningar på ett sjukhus i Moshi i Tanzania. Ett andra prov kommer att tas efter cirka en vecka efter inskrivningen för att undersöka förändringar i kolonisering av resistenta bakterier i tarmen, ställt i relation till antibiotikabehandling. Risken att patienter förvärvar ESBL-bärande bakterier under sjukhusvistelse har studerats i andra länder, men inte i Tanzania. Huruvida karbapenemresistenta E. coli finns i Tanzania är i nuläget okänt. För undersökning av förekomsten av resistenta tarmbakterier i samhället kommer fecesprover att samlas från kvinnor och barn som besöker öppenvård i Moshi-området. Patienter kommer att tillfrågas om de nyligen behandlats med antibiotika, vilket relateras till förekomsten av ESBL- och karbapenemas-producerande E. coli i tarmen. Förutom screeningprover kommer prover att tas från miljön på sjukhuset för att undersöka om resistenta tarmbakterier även finns i sjukhusmiljön och i sådana fall kan utgöra en tänkbar smittkälla. De resistenta bakterierna kommer att undersökas med molekylärbiologiska tekniker för att utreda förekomsten av särskilt spridningsbenägna bakterier, exempelvis E. coli tillhörande O25b-ST131-klonen, i Tanzania. Resultaten kommer att användas för att öka den lokala kunskapen om basala hygienrutiner i den dagliga sjukhusrutinen med syfte att minska spridningen av multiresistenta bakterier mellan patienter. Nya analyser för detektion av ESBL- och karbapenemas-producerande E. coli, som inte användes förut i Moshi, kommer att utföras vid det Kliniska Mikrobiologiska Laboratoriet, och en lokal biomedicinsk analytiker kommer att bjudas in till Klinisk Mikrobiologi vid Sahlgrenska Universitetssjukhuset och lära sig att utföra de molekylärbiologiska analyser som används i Sverige. Det möjliggör ett inflöde av kompetens för påvisning av resistenta bakterier i Moshi-området.

Nya analyser för detektion av ESBL- och karbapenemas-producerande E. coli, som inte användes förut i Moshi, kommer att utföras vid det Kliniska Mikrobiologiska Laboratoriet, och en lokal biomedicinsk analytiker kommer att bjudas in till Klinisk Mikrobiologi vid Sahlgrenska Universitetssjukhuset och lära sig att utföra de molekylärbiologiska analyser som används i Sverige. Det möjliggör ett inflöde av kompetens för påvisning av resistenta bakterier i Moshi-området.

ETEC gives rise to watery diarrhea, causing 400 000 deaths/year, primarily in young children. LMIC children are also often chronically infected with Hp and in 15-20% of cases, the infection causes symptoms later in life such as peptic ulcers or gastric cancer. Our recent results suggest that CD4+ T helper cells, particularly those that secrete the cytokine IL-17A (Th17), play important roles in promoting protective immune mechanisms in both infections. The overall aim of this project is to advance the knowledge we have recently gained on Th17 responses in different model systems to human ETEC and Hp infection. This includes (I) to characterize T helper cell responses to these infections in humans and (II) to study the functional capacity of novel mucosal vaccine adjuvants to enhance human CD4+ T helper cell responses. This collaborative project, performed at the University of Gothenburg and the International Center for Diarrhoeal Disease Research, Bangladesh, will benefit from the combined expertise of the applicants, including broad knowledge in techniques for analyzing T cell responses and extensive experience of studies of mucosal immunity in LMIC. The project also aims to establish a framework for mutual learning and training of PhD students and younger scientists at both sites, forming a basis for extended future collaboration. Studier av hur T-celler i immunförsvaret kan bidra till skydd mot diarré- och magsårsbakterier Bakteriella infektioner är mycket vanliga i låg- och medelinkomstländer och orsakar mycket sjukdom och lidande och även många dödsfall i dessa delar av världen. Två bakterier som är vanligt förekommande är enterotoxinbildande E. coli (ETEC) och Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) som ger upphov till olika typer av hälsoproblem. ETEC orsakar akut diarre´ och denna infektion har visas ge upphov till ca 400 miljoner diarré-episoder och ca 400,000 dödsfall årligen hos barn under 5 år i låg- och medelinkomstländer. ETEC är också den vanligaste orsaken till så kallad turistdiarre´. Studier har visat att en majoritet av barn i fattigare delar av världen, såsom Bangladesh och Indien, infekteras med H. pylori före två års ålder. H. pylori-infektion är kronisk och 15-20% av de infekterade individerna utvecklar symptom såsom dyspepsi, magsår eller magcancer senare i livet. Trots att dessa två bakterieinfektioner är så viktiga orsaker till sjukdom och död hos både barn och vuxna finns det fortfarande inga vacciner mot dessa infektioner. Vi har studerat hur immunsystemet kan skydda oss mot ETEC och H. pylori-infektion. Vi har nyligen funnit att en speciell typ av T-celler som hjälper andra celler i immunförsvaret att bekämpa infektioner verkar ha stor betydelse för hur skyddande immunsvar mot dessa infektioner utvecklas. T-hjälpar celler som producerar signalämnet IL-17A (en sk cytokin) verkar ha särskilt stor betydelse för infektionsskyddet. I experimentella studier har vi funnit att en ny immunförstärkande substans som ges tillsammans med vacciner, sk vaccinadjuvans, kan förstärka funktionen hos dessa hjälpar T-celler. Ökad produktion av IL-17A leder till att neutrofiler som kan äta upp bakterierna lockas till infekterad slemhinna och ökar produktionen av antikroppar och andra antimikrobiella substanser som kan hjälpa immunsystemet att försvara sig mot infektionerna. Målet med detta forskningsprojekt är att öka förståelsen för hur dessa hjälpar T-celler fungerar i immunförsvaret mot H. pylori och ETEC-infektion hos människa. Vi vill studera förekomst och funktion hos dessa celler i blod och slemhinna hos infekterade personer. Vi vill även vidare undersöka den funktionella förmågan hos två nya vaccinadjuvans att förstärka funktionen hos hjälpar T-celler från människa och framför allt den typ av T-celler som producerar IL-17A. Ökad kunskap om hjälpar T-cellernas funktion och hur denna kan påverkas med hjälp av adjuvans kan utnyttjas vid utveckling av nya vacciner mot ETEC och H. pylori-infektion som för närvarande pågår vid Göteborg universitet.

Ett viktigt mål med projektet är att etablera en bas för vetenskaplig träning för yngre forskare och doktorander vid de två samarbetande forskningscentren.

Screening based on analysis of so called PAP-smears has proven very effective in reducing cancer mortality. Systematic screening is still not offered in most parts of the world due to cost and lack of cytotechnologists, leading to many unnecessary early deaths. This project aims at establishing a long lasting collaboration between research groups at Uppsala University and at University of Novi Sad, Serbia, with a primary goal to improve image analysis methods for cervical cancer diagnostics. By increasing reliability of automatic analysis, and allowing usage of less expensive microscopes and staining protocols, we will significantly contribute to the implementation of cost effective screening programs in developing countries. Advances in cytopathology have put focus on the analysis of very subtle changes in the chromatin structure of cell nuclei. Prof. Bengtsson´s group is among world leaders in this field. The objects of interest, chromatin particles in the cell nuclei, are close to the resolution limit of light microscopy and maximal usage of information in acquired images is paramount. Methods for robust and precise image analysis, developed by the group of Dr Sladoje, are most suitable for this task and initial tests have shown great potential. Adjustment of those methods to the analysis of chromatin distributions in cell nuclei is a challenging, but also very promising and rewarding task. Livmoderhalscancer är inte bara en av de vanligaste cancerformerna bland kvinnor utan också en typ av cancer som drabbar relativt unga kvinnor, ofta före 40 års ålder. I hela världen dör årligen omkring en kvarts miljon kvinnor i denna sjukdom, detta trots att den går att nästan helt förhindra genom tidig upptäckt av cancerns förstadier vid granskning av cellprover från gynekologisk hälsokontroll. I Sverige och många andra västländer har man sedan 1960-talet erbjudit sådan hälsokontroll, vilket mycket kraftigt har minskat dödligheten i livmoderhalscancer. Denna typ av granskning är dock mycket arbetskrävande och kostsam, och kräver välutbildad personal som i mikroskop letar efter och känner igen de cellförändringar som kan indikera cancer. På grund av bristande resurser så erbjuds inte regelbunden kontroll till det stora flertalet kvinnor i låg- och medelinkomstländer, och ett stort antal kvinnor dör därför av cancer helt i onödan. Även om HPV vaccinering nu införs i allt större omfattning i den rika världen så kommer det att ta ungefär 20 år innan vi kan vänta oss de första effekterna av detta; under minst den tiden, men förmodligen längre än så, är billig, bra och tillgänglig cellprovskontroll jätteviktigt för världens kvinnor. Vi vill med det här projektet knyta samman forskare från Uppsala Universitet med forskare från Universitet i Novi Sad, Serbien, för att med gemensamma insatser utveckla och förbättra metoder för att med datorstöd göra cancerdiagnostiken snabbare, billigare och säkrare, och därigenom nå ut till en avsevärt större andel av jordens kvinnor än vad som är möjligt med dagens metoder. Redan idag finns ett fåtal system för datorstödd cancerdiagnos. Tyvärr så är dessa system mycket dyra i drift och beroende av dyrbar utrustning och personal, vilket hindar dess användning i låginkomstländer. Vi vill ta fram metoder som fungerar med billigare mikroskop och som fungerar med vanliga infärgningsmetoder, som dagens doktorer är vana med, inte bara med dyra specialfärger. Vid Centrum för Bildanalys i Uppsala har vi under många år forskat på metoder för billig och effektiv cellbildsanalys, och många av de svåraste problemen är redan lösta. Under de senaste åren så har vi visat att det går bra att lära en dator att ställa en pålitlig cancerdiagnos, ifall man bara har tillräckligt bra och tydliga bilder, där sådant som skärpa och infärgning inte skiljer sig allt för mycket mellan olika preparat. Vi har bland annat demonstrerat att genom att noggrant mäta hur DNA fördelar sig i cellkärnan är det möjligt att skilja på friska celler och cancerförstadier. Tyvärr är det mycket svårt och dyrt att bygga system som garanterar perfekta bilder. Ett alternativ är att forska fram bättre metoder, som klarar av att hantera de variationer som finns. Det har dock visat sig väldigt besvärligt att få mätmetoderna tillräckligt tåliga mot variationer i bilderna men samtidigt känsliga nog att hitta de små detaljer som skiljer normala celler från onormala. Vi behöver ytterligare kunskap om hur man kan göra dagens metoder mer robusta och pålitliga. Dr Nata?a Sladoje vid universitetet i Novi Sad har lång erfarenhet av metoder för noggrann och robust mätning av egenskaper i bilder.

Malaria puts a heavy burden on the economic progress of the afflicted countries, especially in the low-income strata of those societies. Despite the severity of the problem, global efforts to combat malaria remain minor, allegedly since this disease mostly affects developing countries, with limited economic power. No efficient malaria vaccine has been developed, and resistance existing antimalarial drugs is emerging. However, with the recent support of international charities, this may change. This project aims at identifying novel promising lead antimalarial compounds, with a special view to combat P. vivax, the major malaria-causing parasite in Latin America. Frontline techniques in yeast genomics will be used to identify the targets of molecules with antiplasmodial activity, and to improve the selectivity for the parasite ortholog of the target over the human counterpart. The Brazilian partners contribute knowledge about growth and genetic engineering of the malaria parasite, as well as of its pathogenesis and malaria epidemiology. The Swedish partners contribute high-throughput yeast genetic screening methodology and medicinal chemistry for redesign and development of leads. We intend to establish a long-lasting international collaboration in this field of great global importance. Malaria är ett svårt hot mot global hälsa. En halv miljon människor dör årligen i malaria, och denna sjukdom drabbar framför allt de fattigaste människorna i de fattigaste länderna. Små barn är särskilt utsatta och får ofta allvarligare sjukdomsförlopp än vuxna. Den negativa affekten av malaria på ett lands ekonomiska utveckling är betydande då sjukdomen innebär långa och upprepade sjukdomsperioder. För barn är detta allvarligt då det försvårar deras skolgång och på så sätt motverkar ekonomisk tillväxt genom höjd utbildningsnivå. Gravida kvinnor med malariainfektion löper ökad risk för blodbrist, för tidig födsel och missfall. Växthuseffekten kan påverka utbredningsområdet för malaria. Både malariaparasiten (Plasmodium) och myggan som sprider den (Anopheles) har strikta krav på mikroklimat för att kunna utvecklas. Med ökande temperaturer och ändrade nederbördsförhållanden kan malaria komma att uppträda i nya områden. Där träffar den på människor som tidigare inte varit exponerade för malaria, och därför inte har något immunförsvar mot den. Inget effektivt malariavaccin existerar, trots mångåriga ansträngningar. Mot de mest verksamma behandlingarna mot malaria; klorokin, artemisinin och pyrimetamin, har resistens hos malariaparasiten dykt upp i flera regioner i världen. Det finns alltså ett stort behov av nya antimalariamediciner. Vårt projekt, som är ett samarbete med brasilianska forskare, syftar till att hitta nya substanser för vidare utveckling mot antimalariapreparat. Vi har en pågående karakterisering av molekyler med potentiell aktivitet mot malaria, isolerade från traditionella medicinalväxter från östra Afrika. Vi vill utvärdera dem mot brasilianska stammar av Plasmodium för att se om dessa oprövade kombinationer kan ge god effektivitet. För sådana substanser, där man iakttar en effektivitet mot parasiten men inte känner till mekanismen, vill vi använda en genetisk screeningmetod i jäst, kallad kemogenomik. På så sätt kan vi identifiera målproteinet som substansen slår mot. Vi vill också tillverka nya syntetiska startsubstanser riktade mot kända målproteiner i denna process. I Brasilien, liksom i stora delar av resten av världen, är malaria orsakad av Plasmodium vivax den dominerande formen. Den ger ett mindre häftigt men å andra sidan mer långvarigt förlopp, ibland livslångt, än den mest omtalade formen, orsakade av P. falciparum. Det är svårare att studera P. vivax än P. falciparum eftersom man inte kan växa P. vivax kontinuerligt i laboratoriet, vilket lägger hinder i vägen för utveckling av terapi mot P. vivax. Vi vill därför använda en av oss nyutvecklad metod för att uttrycka proteiner från P. vivax i jäst, och mäta effektiviteten hos de substanser vi testar mot ett visst protein jämfört med motsvarande protein från människa. Genom denna jämförelse, som direkt kan avläsas med fluorescenta markörer i ett storskaligt system, kan vi snabbt söka igenom många substanser för att identifiera dem som slår ut parasitens protein utan att skada vårt eget. Vi kan sedan kemiskt modifiera sådana substanser för att göra dem mer lämpliga som läkemedelskandidater. I samarbetsprojektet bidrar de brasilianska forskarna med kunskap om hantering av malariaparasiten och hur man utvärderar läkemedels effektivitet mot den, dels in vitro, dels i musmodeller. De har också kontakter med kliniska malariaforskare med tillgång till patientmaterial. De svenska forskarna har kunskap om storskaliga genomikmetoder i jäst, och om läkemedelskemi. Tillsammans vill vi bygga en långvarig relation för att göra ett betydelsefullt bidrag i detta globalt viktiga område.

Malaria puts a heavy burden on the economic progress of the afflicted countries, especially in the low-income strata of those societies. Despite the severity of the problem, global efforts to combat malaria remain minor, allegedly since this disease mostly affects developing countries, with limited economic power. No efficient malaria vaccine has been developed, and resistance existing antimalarial drugs is emerging. However, with the recent support of international charities, this may change. This project aims at identifying novel promising lead antimalarial compounds, with a special view to combat P. vivax, the major malaria-causing parasite in Latin America.

Nanocellulose is very attractive for the development of advanced functional hybrid materials based on naturally abundant biopolymers and inorganic nanomaterials. As such, these materials could be potentially exploited as inexpensive components for the fabrication of separation membranes. The work will be performed in close collaboration between the research groups lead by Assoc. Prof. Germán Salazar-Álvarez (Materials Chemistry, Stockholm University, Sweden) and Prof. Josefina de Gyves (Analytical Chemistry, UNAM, Mexico). The vision of this project is to serve as a first step towards introducing an abundant, inexpensive, and renewable nanomaterial to the Mexican group while learning from their experience in analytical methods. More specifically, the project will enable several researchers from Mexico to be a part of a joint research effort and obtain training in material characterization techniques, e.g. surface area measurements, atomic force microscopy (AFM), high resolution scanning electron microscopy (HRSEM), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and for scientists from Sweden to get training in electrochemical methods such as cyclic voltammetry, chronoamperometry, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). Naturen har visat hur kompositer som trä, ben, tänder och pärlemor kan kombinera imponerande mekaniska egenskaper med ändamålsenliga strukturella och funktionella egenskaper. Biologiska kompositer består av flera komponenter där strukturbildande biofibrer, proteiner och oorganiska komponenter kan återfinnas hos de flesta organismer. Av de strukturbildande polysackariderna har cellulosa som finns i t ex trä och bomull en särställning som den vanligaste biopolymeren i världen. Cellulosa framställs också i stora mängder av alger och t o m en del bakterier kan producera en porös cellulosa som är stark, lätt och hydrofil.

Funktionalisering och strukturering av nanocellulosa röner idag ett stort intresse som ett förnyelsebart och billigt material för olika typer av funktionella och strukturella tillämpningar. Förutsättning för att utnyttja nanocellulosa i stor skala möjliggörs redan genom den industriella produktion av nanocellulosa från ved som nu sker i såväl Sverige som i andra länder. Det här projektet syftar till att utveckla funktionella oorganiska-nanocellulosakompositer. Denna typ av funktionella hybrider kan kombinera egenskaper som hög mekanisk styrka med transparens, töjbarhet, UV-absorbans och flamsäkerhet. Vi avser att framställa oorganisk-nanocellulosa hybridmembran med väl definierade struktur för separering och återvinning av joner (t ex tungmetaller och protoner) från vattenbaserade vätskor. Vi förväntar oss att bidra till problemlösning av kontaminering i vattenmassor med tungmetaller och återvinning av dyrbara metaller med ett billigt och förnyelsebart nanocellulosabaserad material.

In Egypt, previous research reported an incidence of Campylobacter diarrhea of 0.6 episodes per person-year, which was concluded as the highest incidence rate ever reported from a developing country. One complication associated with Campylobacter diarrhea is Guillain-Barre´ Syndrome (GBS), an acute, symmetric, ascending paralysis. Recent Egyptian data suggested that GBS cases were primarily in the young aged and cases and many controls had a history of infection to a variety of Campylobacter serotypes. In hyperendemic settings such as in Egypt, the socio-economic burden of illnesses associated with Campylobacter is substantial. In this project we aim to integrate microbiological surveillance data, sequence-based subtyping, and probabilistic risk assessment modeling tools together to investigate the molecular epidemiology of Campylobacter in the broiler meat, the most important source of human campylobacteriosis, and to quantitatively assess the public health burden of human campylobacteriosis arising from consumption of broiler meat in Egypt. The research approach of this project could be adopted as a model for investigating other zoonotic pathogens in developing countries. The project fund will be directed toward enhancing personnel capacities and institutional collaboration between food safety researchers from Alexandria University in Egypt and the Swedish Agricultural University in Sweden. Campylobacterios orsakas av bakterien Campylobacter. Detta är en zoonotisk bakterie, det vill säga den kan spridas mellan djur och människa. Sjukdomen är troligtvis den vanligaste bakterieorsakade diarrésjukdomen globalt sett och orsakas vanligtvis av livsmedel som förorenats med bakterien. Patienter som insjuknar i campylobacterios kan även drabbas av den allvarliga komplikationen Guillain-Barré. Detta syndrom kännetecknas av förlamning i armar och ben som tilltar under loppet av några dagar och orsakas av akut inflammation i perifera nerver och nervrötter. Det livsmedel som vanligen associeras med campylobacterios är kyckling. I en slaktkycklingbesättning kan majoriteten av slaktkycklingarna vara infekterade med Campylobacter utan att visa några som helst symptom. Detta gör det omöjligt att avgöra vilka djur i flocken som kan utgöra smittrisker för människa utan bakteriell provtagning av varje individ. Detta är dock både en praktisk och ekonomisk omöjlig strategi, både för hög- och låginkomstländer. Resultat från tidigare studier utförda i Egypten visar att incidenstalet, det vill säga antalet nya insjuknanden som uppträder per enhet persontid, är 0,6 episoder av diarré per personår. Detta är det högsta incidenstalet som har rapporterats från ett låginkomstland och tyder på, trots att rapporteringen brister i flera låginkomstländer, att sjukdomen har stor påverkan på folkhälsan i Egypten. Ytterligare studier från Egypten visar att de personer som drabbades av komplikationen Guillain-Barré framförallt var unga personer och att de allra flesta av dem var infekterade med olika undertyper av Campylobacter-bakterier. I ett land såsom Egypten, där i jämfört med andra länder en stor andel av befolkningen drabbas av sjukdomen, är de socio-ekonomiska konsekvenserna av campylobacterios stor. Ett exempel på detta kan vara nedsatt inkomst hos den fattiga delen av befolkningen på grund av oförmåga att arbeta under sjukdomsperioden, samt kostnader orsakade av långvarig sjukhusvistelse vid fall av Guillain-Barré. Syftet med projektet är att få ökade kunskaper om själva bakterien och dess spridning i livsmedelskedjan i Egypten för att kunna föreslå lämpliga åtgärder för att på sikt minska sjukdomens betydelse i landet. I projektet kommer en kombination av mikrobiell övervakning, avancerad sekvensbaserad karaktärisering av bakterien och mikrobiell riskvärderingsverktyg att användas. På så sätt kommer vi att kunna få ökade kunskaper om den molekylära epidemiologin kring Campylobacter hos slaktkyckling och dess kött. Vi kommer även att kunna kvantifiera folkhälsorisker vid konsumtion av kyckling i Egypten. Konsumtion av kyckling är den vanligaste smittvägen även i Egypten. Resultat som erhålls inom projektet kommer att kunna användas generellt, det vill säga kommer att kunna appliceras även i andra låginkomstländer med liknande förutsättningar. Det gäller både specifikt för Campylobacter likväl som för andra zoonotiska bakterier som sprids i livsmedelskedjan. Finansieringen för projektet kommer att användas för att stärka forskningskapaciteten och internationellt samarbete mellan forskare inom livsmedelssäkerhet, primärt för forskare från Alexandria universitetet i Egypten och Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet i Sverige. I projektet kommer forskningsutbyte, teoretiska kurser, praktisk träning, utförande av konkreta projekt och publicering av forskningsresultat att ingå. Projektets relevans är mycket stor med tanke på den stora påverkan livsmedelsburna sjukdomar har, inte bara i form av personligt lidande orsakat av sjukdomen utan även ur ett ekonomiskt perspektiv. Sjukdomen har stor ekonomisk påverkan i fattiga hushåll, men även i ett större samhällsperspektiv, till exempel i form av arbetsförlust och ökade kostnader för hälsovård.

We intend to exploit original multiscale modelling concepts evolved in our joint collaborative effort and demonstrated as a powerful tool for simulations, for the benefit of unique low-dimensional and inherently nanostructured materials for applications in optical nano-devices and nano-electronics: conceptually new AlN 2D compounds, novel precursors for growth of III-Nitrides, biomolecules adsorbed on metal surfaces, as well as novel 2D silicon boride systems. Our proposal combines predictive concepts proved in tasks of similar complexity, with readily available experimental techniques (e.g., MOCVD growth of III-Nitrides), with a detailed, realistic schedule for dynamic exchange and diversified training opportunities in two vanguard research environments fully committed to the Swedish Research Links program social and educational goals. Modellering av struktur och tillväxt av inneboende nanostrukturerade material med hjälp av datorsimuleringar är betydligt snabbare och billigare än experimentella försök. Ofta är datorsimuleringar det enda genomförbara alternativet för att relatera ett materials nanostruktur och dess önskade egenskaper med ett möjligt sätt att växa dem i laboratorier. I detta projekt kommer forskarlagen ledda av Gueorgui Gueorguiev (Linköpings Universitet, LiU) och Roberto Rivelino (Federal University of Bahia, UFBA) att använda ett originellt flerskaligt modelleringskoncept som har utvecklats genom deras tidigare samarbete. Detta har demonstrerats som ett kraftfullt simuleringsverktyg, till fördel för unika lågdimensionella och nanostrukturerade material för applikationer i optiska nanoapparater och nanoelektronik så som: (i) konceptuellt nya tvådimensionella AlN-föreningar, ett III-nitriterbaserat alternativ till grafen, vilket inkluderar att förutsäga tillväxten av III-nitriter på grafen och grafit; (ii) nya prekursorer för tillväxten av III-nitriter samt detaljerad modellering av den komplexa kemi som kontrollerar deras tillväxt med syfte att främja experimentella försök; (iii) biomolekyler adsorberade på metallytor för uppkommande nanoelektronik och (iv) andra nanostrukturerade material så som fluorkarbider och nanostrukturerade metallsilicider. Teoretiskt förutsägande och några av dessa viktiga vetenskapsteman (III-nitriter, fluorkarbider) är kopplade till existerande teknikerna för experimentell verifiering vid LiU samt till en styrning av materialens syntetisering i realtid. Det vill säga, det föreslagna projektet sträcker sig långt bortom teoretiska övningar med målet att styra syntetiseringen av industriellt sätt lovande material. Vi förväntar oss att de nya materialen har fördelar inom diversifierade teknologier och därför även samhället i stort. Utkomsten av III-nitrit-delen kan komma att bidra till realiseringen av effektiva, portabla och lönsamma LED-system för vattenrening, där det finns ett stort behov i utvecklingsländer, medan nanostrukturerad fluorkarbid kan resultera i nya material av samma vikt som teflon. De två involverade forskarlagen har uppfunnit unika material och faser, till exempel lågdimensionella kiselborider och kolbaserade ?kedjemallar? för framåtskridande grafenbaserad nanoelektronik.

Med fokus på grundforskning och metodutveckling siktar vi på en grupp av material som är tidsenliga och av stor relevans för forskningen på nanostrukturer. Vårt okonventionella multinivåkoncept kommer att gynna metodutvecklingen för materialberäkningsvetenskapen, vilket även kan utnyttjas för andra klasser av material. Under ett femårigt samarbete, vilket har involverat mer än 10 medlemmar, har LiU och UFBA framgångsrikt bevisat sin kollaborativa kompetens och vetenskapliga potential genom forskningsresultat och publikationer, gemensam doktorandhandledning samt gemensam forskningsfinansiering.

We intend to exploit original multiscale modelling concepts evolved in our joint collaborative effort and demonstrated as a powerful tool for simulations, for the benefit of unique low-dimensional and inherently nanostructured materials for applications in optical nano-devices and nano-electronics: conceptually new AlN 2D compounds, novel precursors for growth of III-Nitrides, biomolecules adsorbed on metal surfaces, as well as novel 2D silicon boride systems. Our proposal combines predictive concepts proved in tasks of similar complexity, with readily available experimental techniques (e.g., MOCVD growth of III-Nitrides), with a detailed, realistic schedule for dynamic exchange and diversified training opportunities in two vanguard research environments fully committed to the Swedish Research Links program social and educational goals. Modellering av struktur och tillväxt av inneboende nanostrukturerade material med hjälp av datorsimuleringar är betydligt snabbare och billigare än experimentella försök.

The QCM-µTAS offers an ultrasensitive, cost-effective and mobile platform for the development of distributed biosensors for decentralization health care management and control of dengue in low and middle-income countries, where the access to resources and infrastructure is limited. The latest figures from Malaysia health authority shows a dramatic four times increase in dengue cases reported and with a triple increase in the number of deaths caused by dengue in the first quarter of 2014. This is a global threat not only limited to the citizens living in dengue hot spot countries, also to billions of international travelers travelling to the tropical countries. The Dengue-Screen test is expected to improve the health care management of dengue by providing rapid, mobile and cost effective diagnostics tools. Together with the scientific goal, the Dengue-Screen project also strengthens the collaboration between the involved Universities in the vision of exchange of researcher, knowledge and support future joint applications to larger national and international funding for long term collaboration. Denguefeber är en av de största orsakerna till sjukdom och död i tropikerna. Den infekterar mer än 400 miljoner människor varje år. Om man blir smittad av denguefeber, kan tidig diagnostik och snabb behandling minska risken för komplikationer och död. Det finns därför ett behov av specifika och billiga diagnostiska tester för denguefeber. Dessa skall kunna användas för övervakning och för att förhindra epidemier. Förekomsten av denguefeber i Malaysia har ökat stadigt, från 7103 fall år 2000 till 46 171 fall, inklusive 134 dödsfall, under år 2010. Sjukdomen kostar den malaysiska ekonomin 60 - 150 miljoner euro per år. De flesta fall av dengue rapporterades från tätorter (70-80 %) där det finns en hög befolkningstäthet. Denna förstärks också av en snabb urbanisering. Det föreslagna projektet är planerat att genomföras tillsammans med International Islamic University, Malaysia. Det syftar till att ta fram en billig och specifik diagnostisk metod för point-of-care analyser. Metoden planeras att användas som ett tidigt diagnostiskt verktyg för att minska risken för komplikationer. Forskningsprojektet kommer att drivas genom en sammanslagning av expertis på biosensortillverkning som bygger på tryckteknik (Linköpings universitet), biosensorteknik som bygger på kvartsmikrobalans (QCM) och mikrofluidikteknik (International Islamic University, Malaysia). Målet är att utveckla ett Micro Total Analysis System (microTAS) för point-of-care analys av dengue. QCM - microTAS erbjuder en ultrakänslig, kostnadseffektiv och mobil plattform för utveckling av distribuerade biosensorer för decentraliserad sjukvård, förvaltning och kontroll av denguefeber i låg -och medelinkomstländer. Snabb och tillförlitlig upptäckt är särskilt viktigt i de tidiga stadierna av feber, eftersom det är svårt att skilja dengue och dess två svårare former, denguefeber hemorragisk feber (DHF) och dengue shock syndrome (DSS) från andra virala febrar. De detektionsmetoder som används idag, såsom ELISA kräver lång inkubationstid, högkvalificerad personal och dyra reagenser och instrument, vilket gör det nästan omöjligt att använda för många lokala kliniker i utvecklingsländer. Införandet av ett point-of-care test för tidig diagnostik av svår denguefeber är den mest effektiva metoden för management av denguefeber eftersom det potentiellt kan minska de nationella vårdkostnaderna och antalet dödsfall genom att ge rätt behandling vid de tidigaste stadierna av dengue. Projektet är i hög grad relevant för de övergripande målen för den svenska politiken för utvecklingssamarbete (2007/08:89, avsnitt 2.6 ) om smittsamma sjukdomar och andra hälsohot, och mer specifikt (avsnitt 2.6.2 ) för tidiga diagnostiska system och snabba begränsningsåtgärder för att rädda liv och för att hjälpa till att begränsa utbrott av sjukdomar och deras skadliga konsekvenser för enskilda och samhället. Detta gäller särskilt i länder med låg- och medelinkomst som Malaysia. Detta är i linje med EU-kommissionens FP7-samtal för att få fram nya, innovativa verktyg för bättre diagnostik och övervakning för denguefeber. Projektet främjar också genomförandet av WHO:s riktlinjer om *Dengue: riktlinjer för diagnos, behandling, förebyggande och kontroll*. Vårt föreslagna diagnostiska projekt syftar till att minska de problem som en global smittsam sjukdom medför. Detta genomförs genom att utbyta idéer, forskare och teknik och stödja framtida gemensamma ansökningar till ytterligare nationell och internationell finansiering.

Funktionella fosfatglaskeramer för vätgasproduktion och miljömässig koldioxid minskning Det globala energibehovet förväntas i stor sett fördubblas till 2050 och tredubblas till 2100. Detta på grund av en ökande världsbefolknings ökande levnadsstandardbehov. Att hålla atmosfärens koldioxidhalt (CO2) under åtminstone den dubbla förindustriella nivån och samtidigt möta de ökande energibehoven från ytterligare sex miljarder energianvändare kommer att kräva uppfinningsrikedom, utveckling och användning av kolneutral energi i en skala likvärdig med, eller större än, dagens energitillgångar från alla källor sammantagna. Vätgas, bränslet med högsta energikapaciteten per massenhet, har potential att tillhandahålla och möjligen ersätta fossila bränslen under de närmaste decennierna.

Halvledande fotokatalysatorer i form av tunna lager har utvecklats för fotoelektrokemisk (FEK) vätgasproduktion. Under de senaste decennierna har många oxid-fotoelektroder, typ TiO2, WO3 och SrTiO3 studerats i detta syfte. Verkningsgraden hos FEK typer har begränsats av flera nyckelfaktorer, typ begränsad ljusabsorptions effektivitet i det önskade synliga våglängdsområdet, samt återkombinering av fotoexiterade elektroner och hål. Utvecklingen av nanomaterial har emellertid erbjudit potentiella fördelar jämfört med bulkmaterial vad gäller fotoelektroder av PEC. Nyligen har vetenskapsmän visat på den unika kapaciteten hos amorf kobolt-fosfat katalys för att oxidera vatten till O2 och underlätta möjligheten att använda vatten-sönderdelning som en solenergi- lagringsmekanism för att möjliggöra sol-till-bränsle omvandling i neutralt vatten under normala förhållanden. Detta resultat gör användning av glas och speciellt undersökning av fosfatglas och relaterade material intressantare än tidigare. Nyligen har utfällda transparenta anatas-keramer tillverkats av CaO-B2O3-Al2O3-TiO2 glas. Denna infallsvinkel är ny och lovande vad gäller solenergilagring i framtiden. Glas-keram materialen har visat spännande resultat vad gäller att splittra vatten med hjälp av solenergi. Dessa glas är dock behäftade med det allvarliga problemet att de innehåller en stor mängd giftig Bi2O3, samtidigt som de kräver hög tillverkningstemperatur. I det här projektet tänker vi utveckla miljövänliga glas-keramiska fosfatmaterial för att splittra vatten med hjälp av solenergi.

The Arabian-Nubian Shield (ANS), a Neoproterozoic aged orogen in NE Africa, contains large volumes of carbonate-altered rock. The Neoproterozoic Era was a period of tremendous climatic variability. The carbonation in the ANS implies very large fluxes of CO2 to the Earth?s surface, but the sources, flux rates or timing of flow of the CO2-rich fluid is not known. The carbonate-altered rocks also show a spatial association with gold deposits in the ANS but the significance of this relationship is poorly understood. This project aims to identify the sources and flux rate of CO2, the timing of carbonate alteration in the ANS, and the relationship between carbonation and gold deposition. The project will be carried out through annual field workshops in the Eastern Desert of Egypt, and research visits for international partners to carry out isotopic and geochemical analyses at Stockholm University. The collaboration includes researchers from Sweden, Egypt, USA and Saudi Arabia. Constraint of the source, fluxes, and timing of CO2-rich fluid flow that caused carbonate alteration in the ANS will improve our understanding of climatic evolution during the Neoproterozoic. Better understanding of the link between carbonate alteration and gold deposition in the ANS will allow development of more successful exploration models for gold deposits in Egypt. Karbonatomvandling innebär att CO2-rika fluider reagerar med vissa bergarter i jordskorpan och manteln varvid omvandlingsreaktioner sker och karbonater fälls ut. Det är en viktig geologisk process med stor betydelse för att binda koldioxid i berggrunden, kolets kretslopp och flödet av CO2 till jordens atmosfär samt även för bildandet av malmfyndigheter. Den Arabisk-Nubiska skölden (ANS) är en gammal orogen i NÖ Afrika bildad under neoproterozoikum för mellan 870 och 540 miljoner år sedan. ANS i Egypten består av stora volymer berggrund som karbonatomvandlats genom reaktion med CO2-rika fluider. Karbonatomvandlingen vittnar om att stora flöden av CO2 till jordens oceaner och atmosfär ägde rum under neoproterozoikum, men väldigt lite är känt om källan till CO2, flödesintensiteten och den exakta tidpunkten vid vilken flödet inträffade. Neoproterozoikum vid tiden för bildandet av ANS var en period av enorma klimatvariationer med snabba växlingar mellan istidsperioder med extrem nedisning till supervarma *växthus* perioder. Istidsperioderna var särskilt extrema med globala eller nästan globala nedisningar (?Snowboll Earth?) som följd. I ANS förekommer guldfyndigheter i nära association med områden av karbonatomvandlade bergarter. Guldfyndigheterna är vanligtvis belägna i förkastningszoner som skär genom de karbonatomvandlade bergarterna. Förhållandet mellan karbonatomvandling och bildandet av guldfyndigheter är ännu inte helt klarlagt. Projektet syftar till att 1) Identifiera ursprunget (källan) för den CO2 som orsakade karbonat-omvandlingen i ANS , 2) Datering av karbonatomvandlingen i ANS, 3) Beräkna flödet av CO2 och uppskatta den totala volymen av CO2 som tillfördes neoproterozoiskt hav och atmosfär , 4) Utröna sammansättning, temperatur och tryck för den CO2-rika fluiden och de förhållande under vilka omvandlingarna ägde rum, och 5) Undersöka sambandet mellan den CO2-förande fluiden och bildandet av guldfyndigheterna i ANS. Projektets genomförande kommer att ske genom två olika delmoment 1) Årliga fältarbetsmöten i Eastern Desert (ED) i Egypten, och 2) Gästforskarbesök av internationella samarbetspartner till Stockholms universitet. Målet för varje fältarbetsmöte kommer att vara att undersöka omfattningen och karakterisera karbonatomvandlingen på tre olika platser i ED i Egypten. En representativ provserie kommer att samlas in för analyser i syfte att fastställa ursprunget för CO2 fluiden och datera omvandlingen. Platserna för fältarbetsmötena kommer att bli Meatiq området i centrala ED 2015, Barramiya området även i centrala ED 2016 och Gerf-Allaqi området i södra ED 2017. Geokemi- och isotopanalyser av de insamlade proverna kommer att utföras i Stockholm under samarbetspartnernas gästforskarbesök till Sverige. Forskargruppen består av forskare från Stockholms universitet, National Research Centre, Beni Suef University och Benha University i Egypten, University of Texas i Dallas USA och King Abdulaziz University i Saudiarabien. Fastställande av ursprung, intensitet och datering av det CO2-rika flödet som gav upphov till karbonatomvandlingen i hela ED i Egypten kan avsevärt förbättra vår förståelse av klimatutvecklingen under neoproterozoikum. Detta projekt utgör en fantastisk möjlighet att undersöka de geologiska processer som troligtvis ledde till en minskning av nedisningsperioderna i neoproterozoikum. Bättre förståelse av dessa processer kan hjälpa att förutsäga framtida klimatförändringar. Undersökning av sambandet mellan karbonatomvandling och bildandet av guldfyndigheter i ANS kommer att öka förståelsen av de processer som genererat guldfyndigheterna. Detta kommer att främja utvecklandet av nya och förbättrade prospekteringsmodeller för guldfyndigheter på djupare nivåer i ANS i Egypten.

A major challenge to crop production is an increase in the number of arid zones due to climate change. Dr. Eriksson and Dr. Ibáñez investigate the basic mechanisms by which plants respond to environmental stresses. Dr. Eriksson is focused on the role of circadian clock in seasonal regulation of growth and in stress response. Dr. Ibáñez has recently started a new line of research aimed at dissection of the genetic potential of trees adapted to arid zones. The aim of this proposal is to combine our expertise to build a collaboration aimed at elucidating molecular mechanism used by trees to tolerate abiotic stresses associated with arid zones. The methodology proposed draws upon transcriptome data recently generated by the Ibáñez laboratory using the rather salt tolerant Leguminous tree Prosopis chilensis, to use its genetic information and to search for genetic similarities with the model tree Populus spp. In particular we find links with the circadian clock components LATE ELONGATED HYPOCOTYL (LHY) and PSEUDO-RESPONSE REGULATOR 7 (PRR7) and will challenge wild type and trees with reduced expression of these central clock proteins using Populus trees. To test the role of the circadian clock in response to drought- and salt. As expected results we will establish strong research links and generate mechanistic knowledge on regulation of osmotic stresses using Populus and Prosopis trees. Vad kan vi lära oss om salt och torkstresstålighet av det Chilenska trädet Prosopis chilensis? Växter är inte, som djur mobila och måste därför anpassa sig till de rådande förhållandena på den plats de växer. De har därför en mängd specialanpassade mekanismer för att känna av förändringar i miljön och snabbt ändra på sitt sätt att växa. Speciellt problematiskt är det för växter att klara av salt och torkstress. Växten måste hela tiden ha väl vattenfyllda celler för att fungera och de flesta växter dör snabbt om de förlorar vatten. Växter konkurrerar dessutom om tillgång på plats med näring och vatten. Växter som anpassar sig till en tuff miljö däremot har alla möjligheter att breda ut sig och frodas. I Chile finns ett trädslag Prosopis chilensis som växer på mycket torra platser och har god förmåga att tolerera salt. Den kan dessutom ta upp kväve från luften och har därför inte brist på näring utan istället berikar den sin miljö på detta värdefulla ämne som normalt begränsar växters tillväxt. Man kan också bland annat äta trädets frukter och använda dess ved. Vi vill undersöka hur den klarar av att leva där salt och torka dödar andra växter. Vi tror att i nyckeln ligger i att avkoda dess arvsmassa så att vi kan bestämma vilka gener som kodar för proteiner som hjälper till att anpassa den till stress. Därför kommer vi att kartlägga vilka gener som uttrycks annorlunda då den utsätts för salt och de gener som vi tror är viktiga kommer vi att undersöka i ett annat träd; hybrid asp, då den utsätts för salt. Genom att jämföra dessa träd kan vi definiera vilka geners uttryck som är viktiga i båda träden och vilka som är unika och kanske kan användas för att ändra andra växters förmåga att klara av salt och torkstress. Vi kommer även att undersöka hur cellers egen klocka den inre cirka 24 timmars klocka påverkar salt och torkstress. Vi har tidigare funnit att hybrid asp med en klocka som inte går i takt inte kan klara köld. På cell nivån är kyla uttorkande och vissa delar av signalleringen som krävs för att anpassa växter till kyla används även vid salt och tork stress. Vi kan därför använda dessa olika hybrid aspar för att ta reda på om klockan också styr växtens förmåga att tåla salt. Vi hoppas att vi på detta sätt kan förstå vad som krävs för att växter skall klara salt och torkstress, vilket är centralt för att kunna odla viktiga grödor i ett förändrat klimat.

A major challenge to crop production is an increase in the number of arid zones due to climate change. Dr. Eriksson and Dr. Ibáñez investigate the basic mechanisms by which plants respond to environmental stresses. Dr. Eriksson is focused on the role of circadian clock in seasonal regulation of growth and in stress response. Dr. Ibáñez has recently started a new line of research aimed at dissection of the genetic potential of trees adapted to arid zones. The aim of this proposal is to combine our expertise to build a collaboration aimed at elucidating molecular mechanism used by trees to tolerate abiotic stresses associated with arid zones. The methodology proposed draws upon transcriptome data recently generated by the Ibáñez laboratory using the rather salt tolerant Leguminous tree Prosopis chilensis, to use its genetic information and to search for genetic similarities with the model tree Populus spp. In particular we find links with the circadian clock components LATE ELONGATED HYPOCOTYL (LHY) and PSEUDO-RESPONSE REGULATOR 7 (PRR7) and will challenge wild type and trees with reduced expression of these central clock proteins using Populus trees. To test the role of the circadian clock in response to drought- and salt. As expected results we will establish strong research links and generate mechanistic knowledge on regulation of osmotic stresses using Populus and Prosopis trees.

Domestic sheep and goats are species important for the daily survival of the rural poor in Africa, and also the main hosts of the disease. The overall purpose of the proposed 3-year project is to broaden and strengthen the collaboration between a multidisciplinary team of researchers from Sweden, Botswana, Tanzania and France by bringing together expertise in veterinary virology, rural development and infection epidemiology. The proposed project will include a broader view of the impact of PPR posing a serious threat to the development and sustainability of small livestock production in southern Africa. Small livestock is of particular importance for the livelihoods of poor rural farmers, and it is therefore important to assess the socioeconomic impact of PPR to understand how poor groups are affected. This assessment will be performed through livelihoods analysis. The risk related to PPR emergence and spread further to south, in previously PPRV-free countries such as Botswana, will be analyzed and assessed. Mutual knowledge and technology needed for long-term research partnerships on PPRV and other infectious small livestock diseases will be built up through research visits between partners and joint workshops. Better understanding of the effects of the disease will also create the networks and fundamentals needed for preparation of collaborative research proposals. Virusinfektioner som uppkommer i gränslandet mellan vilda djur, tamboskap och människan: Ökad förståelse för epidemiologi och socioekonomisk betydelse av Peste des petits ruminants (PPR) kan leda till bättre levnadsvillkor för småbrukare i Botswana och Tanzania Peste des petits ruminants (PPR) är en smittsam virussjukdom hos får, getter och andra små idisslare som främst drabbar de fattigaste människorna i de fattigaste länderna i världen. Får och getter är nämligen vanliga husdjur i små lantbruk och för eget husbehov i Afrika, Mellanöstern och Asien, områden där PPR är vanligt förekommande och därmed drabbar extra hårt. Djuren sköts ofta av kvinnor och småbruket utgör en stor extrainkomst för dem och deras familjer. Denna sidoinkomst kan vara direkt avgörande för deras dagliga överlevnad och är ett viktigt led i demokrati- och jämlikhetsutvecklingen. Smittsamma djursjukdomar såsom PPR utgör emellertid allvarliga hinder för vidareutveckling av småbruken och har beskrivits som en viktig faktor som kan leda till kronisk fattigdom. I jämförelse med nötkreatur, som är relativt dyra, har även de fattigaste människorna på den afrikanska landsbygden råd att köpa får och getter. Dessa djur används ofta inom byteshandel, för ceremoniella ändamål, för att betala läkarbesök, med mera. Därför räknas de ofta inte med i den officiella ekonomin. Konsekvenserna efter utbrott av smittsamma djursjukdomar som PPR kan därför lätt missas. I denna studie kommer vi att göra en helhetsanalys av småbrukarnas livsvillkor i Botswana för att uppskatta konsekvenserna av smittsamma djursjukdomar genom intervjuer och fältbesök. Det är idag okänt vilken betydelse vilda idisslare har för smittspridningen av PPR. Man vet att afrikanska bufflar kan bära på antikroppar, men inte om de kan bli sjuka. För några år sedan förklarades boskapspest för utrotat. Denna sjukdom orsakades av ett virus närbesläktat med PPRV. Under bekämpningen av boskapspest var bufflar viktiga i övervakningen för att se om viruset fortfarande fanns i miljön, eftersom bufflarna utvecklade antikroppar men inga sjukdomssymtom. I detta projekt kommer vi att utvärdera om bufflar kan användas för detta ändamål i bekämpningen av PPR. För detta kommer vi att undersöka blodprover från afrikanska bufflar tagna från flera länder i södra Afrika. Botswana är än så länge fritt från PPR. Risken för att PPR introduceras till Botswana är överhängande, i och med att sjukdomen närmar sig landets gränser. I detta projekt kommer vi att göra riskanalyser för att bedöma riskerna för att PPR drabbar Botswana. Baserat på resultaten från analysen av småbrukarnas livsvillkor kommer vi även att kunna bedöma konsekvenserna av PPR-utbrott i Botswana. Sådan kunskap är viktig för att beslutsfattare i Botswana och andra länder i regionen ska kunna fatta välgrundade beslut. Detta projekt syftar framför allt till att skapa och stärka forskningssamarbeten mellan svenska forskare och forskare i Botswana och Tanzania. Vi har idag redan goda samarbeten i regionen som vi vill bygga vidare på. Projektet samlar forskare med expertis inom veterinärvirologi, infektionsepidemiologi och landsbygdsutveckling. Inom ramen för projektet kommer vi att organisera workshops om PPR-diagnostik, om sjukdomar som uppkommer i gränslandet mellan vilda djur, tamboskap och människan, och om risker och konsekvenser av smittsamma sjukdomar hos får och getter i södra Afrika.

The relevance of this collaboration project for Appendix c1 lies in the potential to develop novel drugs against anxiety in view of the disproportionate increase in violence in low and middleincome countries especially affecting their most exposed individuals. Forskningsprogrammet bygger på hypotesen att ångest förändrar nervcellers sätt att reagera på kemiska signaler från sin omgivning. Vi och andra forskare har visat att receptorer för en rad viktiga signalsubstanser i hjärnan kan interagera med varandra på flera olika sätt, bl.a. genom att bilda fysiska komplex i nervcellernas membran. Dessa receptor komplex utgörs av två eller flera receptorer, som antingen är av samma sort (homomerer) eller av olika typer (heteromerer). Komplexen kan i sin tur interagera med varandra i membranen och bilda sammanhängade *mosaiker*, vilka spelar en viktig roll i nervcellers informationsbearbetning. Bland annat misstänker man att störningar i balansen mellan homomera och heteromera komplex kan bidra till utvecklingen av ångest. Den övergripande målsättningen för vårt projekt är att förstå hur ångest-inducerade förändringar av receptorkomplex medverkar till utveckling av ångest och hur detta kan motverkas med hjälp av farmaka.Vi kommer främst att fokusera på receptor heteromerer som innehåller oxytocin receptorn (R) , en receptor som är viktig för förmedling av socialt beteende och antistress effecter. Exempel på sådana komplex är heteromerer mellan oxytocinR- och dopamin D2R samt mellan oxytocinR-och alpha2 adrenergaR.Oxytocin receptorR- D2R heteromerer återfinns t.ex. i amygdala barken, fr.a i central amygdala kärnan ( en central component för utlösning av beteenden vid fara och ångest) och i det ventrala striato-pallidala bansystemet (en central komponent i hjärnans belöningssystem) . Potentiella OxytocinR och alpha2adrenergaR heteromerer kan finnas i amygdala barken och hypothalamus. Hypotesen är att oxytocin utlöser social beteende och antistress effecter via ökning av D2R och alpha2adrenergaR signalering i dessa receptor complex,vilket postuleras vara mekanismen för oxytocinets ångest dämpande effekter .Med anledning av våra tidigare upptäckter ämnar vi alltså studera hur effekter av Oxytocin och/eller oxytocin receptor antagonister påverkar dessa receptor komplex samt hur denna påverkan moduleras i rått modeler för rädsla/ångest. Två mycket tillförlitliga djurmodeller (råtta) skall användas för sjukdomen ångest: Den upphöjda T labyrinten , där djuret undviker de öppna armarna i labyrinten, och nedgrävningen av shock sond, där råttan i testet gräver ned en elektrifierad sond efter att ha blivit shockad. Dessa tester är högst adekvata och de mest validerade modellerna för att studera icke-konditionerad fara/ångest. Förändringar av dessa receptorkomplex i hjärnvävnad från djurmodellerna med eller utan behandling med oxytocin och i cell modeler efter incubation med oxytocin receptor agonist/antagonist kommer att studeras med neurokemiska och molekylärbiologiska metoder, samt genom särskilda mikroskoperingsmetoder, där inmärkta receptor antikroppar används för att mäta och åskådliggöra hur receptorer bildar receptor komplex med varandra.Vi skall alltså testa vår hypotes att oxytocin kan representera antiångest läkemedel genom att öka D2 signaleringen i oxytocinR-D2R heteromeren och alpha2adrenergR signaleringen i oxytocinR-alpha2adrenergR heteromeren .

Det huvudsakliga syftet med detta projekt är att beskriva hur tropiska bins synsinne och navigationssystem har utvecklats för att säkerställa en säker flykt genom den komplexa regnskogsmiljö. Detta är ett viktigt steg mot en ökad förståelse för tropiska bin levnadsvillkoren, samt för vilka effekter den snabba förändringen av deras naturliga miljö kan föra med sig. I detta internationella projekt drar vi nytta av Isabela Alves dos Santos djuptgående kunskaper om tropiska bin och Emily Bairds expertis inom insekts syn och navigering. Vårt första delmål är att analysera, jämföra och beskriva synsystemet hos två arter av tropiska bin från två olika släkten. Vårt andra delmål är att förstå hur bin använder sina synintryck för att undvika att flyga in i föremål i sin väg och för att navigera genom den täta regnskogen. Sammantaget syftar den här studien till att presentera den första övergripande undersökningen av tropiska bins synsystem och flygkontrollsmekanismer, fakta som kommer att utöka vår förståelse för tropiska bins levnadsvillkor och förutsättningar för ett framgångsrikt pollineringsbeetende. Denna studie har dessutom som mål att fördjupa vår förståelse för hur djur i allmänhet använder sig av syninformation för att navigera genom komplexa och oförutsägbara miljöer. Towards Understanding the Visual Ecology and Navigation Strategies of Threatened Tropical Bees The Atlantic Rainforest is considere an important biodiversity hotspot for conservation priorities because it contains a diverse range of native species and is currently under threat from deforestation and climate change. This forest domain extends along the Brazilian coast, forming a north-south corridor through which species can disperse and make contact. In the state of São Paulo, southeastern Brazil, 15% of the Atlantic Forest is left and more than 80% of the remnants fragments are smaller than 50 hectares. This alarming status compromises the existence of healthy populations of plants and wild animals, particularly those that provide essential ecosystem services such as the pollinators. Among the pollinators, bees are by far the most well understood and widely managed group. They ensure the production of seeds in most flowering plants (in natural communities and agro-ecosystems). Furthermore, bees also provide additional income for rural families, in the form of honey and other products; thus, declining bee populations affect the sustainable livelihoods of rural families. Two bee tribes of the Atlantic Rainforest are specially diversified and well known as important pollinators: Meliponini (the stingless bees) and the Euglossini (the orchid bees). In their quest for nectar and scent from various flower species these bees may navigate over many kilometres through the dense, cluttered rainforest. This is a remarkable feat given that they do this with a brain smaller than a sesame seed. Currently, nothing is known about how tropical bees navigate, or even manage to control their flight and avoid obstacles in such a complex and unpredictable environment. Understanding these aspects of tropical bee behaviour will provide important information for understanding their pollination activity and for designing effective practices for ensuring their conservation. Through this collaborative project, we will combine Isabela Alves dos Santo´s wealth of knowledge of Brazilian tropical bee biology, ecology and conservation with Emily Baird´s extensive experience of insect vision, flight control and navigation to understand how the complex rainforest environment shapes the visual system and navigation behaviour of tropical bees. Our first goal is to use anatomical and physiological investigations to analyse and compare the visual systems of two bee species from two important but distantly related tropical bee tribes, Euglossini and Meliponini . This will help us to understand how tropical bees perceive and process the visual information that is present in the rainforest environment. Our second goal is to use behavioural experiments to understand how tropical bee species use this visual information to control their flight, avoid obstacles and navigate through spatially and visually complex natural environments. This study will provide the first comprehensive investigation of the visual systems and flight control behaviour of tropical insects and will provide critical insights into understanding the ecology of these important rainforest pollinators. The results will allow us to gain a better understanding of the ecology of important rainforest pollinators and the impacts that the current threats to the tropical rainforest ecosystem will have on them. This knowledge can then be used to develop informed and effective conservation strategies that are necessary not only for the survival of the many different plants and animals that rely on the pollination services of bees but also for the sustainability of the communities that rely on bee products for self-sufficiency.

Det huvudsakliga syftet med detta projekt är att beskriva hur tropiska bins synsinne och navigationssystem har utvecklats för att säkerställa en säker flykt genom den komplexa regnskogsmiljö. Detta är ett viktigt steg mot en ökad förståelse för tropiska bin levnadsvillkoren, samt för vilka effekter den snabba förändringen av deras naturliga miljö kan föra med sig. I detta internationella projekt drar vi nytta av Isabela Alves dos Santos djuptgående kunskaper om tropiska bin och Emily Bairds expertis inom insekts syn och navigering. Vårt första delmål är att analysera, jämföra och beskriva synsystemet hos två arter av tropiska bin från två olika släkten. Vårt andra delmål är att förstå hur bin använder sina synintryck för att undvika att flyga in i föremål i sin väg och för att navigera genom den täta regnskogen. Sammantaget syftar den här studien till att presentera den första övergripande undersökningen av tropiska bins synsystem och flygkontrollsmekanismer, fakta som kommer att utöka vår förståelse för tropiska bins levnadsvillkor och förutsättningar för ett framgångsrikt pollineringsbeetende. Denna studie har dessutom som mål att fördjupa vår förståelse för hur djur i allmänhet använder sig av syninformation för att navigera genom komplexa och oförutsägbara miljöer. Towards Understanding the Visual Ecology and Navigation Strategies of Threatened Tropical Bees The Atlantic Rainforest is considere an important biodiversity hotspot for conservation priorities because it contains a diverse range of native species and is currently under threat from deforestation and climate change. This forest domain extends along the Brazilian coast, forming a north-south corridor through which species can disperse and make contact. In the state of São Paulo, southeastern Brazil, 15% of the Atlantic Forest is left and more than 80% of the remnants fragments are smaller than 50 hectares. This alarming status compromises the existence of healthy populations of plants and wild animals, particularly those that provide essential ecosystem services such as the pollinators. Among the pollinators, bees are by far the most well understood and widely managed group. They ensure the production of seeds in most flowering plants (in natural communities and agro-ecosystems). Furthermore, bees also provide additional income for rural families, in the form of honey and other products; thus, declining bee populations affect the sustainable livelihoods of rural families.

India has also seen multiple armed conflicts affecting many of its states and union territories. So, does gender inequality increase the risk of armed conflict? And would more gender equality instead provide greater opportunities for a non-violent approach? The purpose of this project is to address these questions through statistical analysis of new micro-level data and qualitative fieldwork in India. Prior research has found robust support for a relationship between gender inequality and violent conflict on the country-level. Such research has also indicated that better gender equality instead can serve to improve a society?s capacity to resist violence. However, many propositions for why inequality would be related to the risk of violent conflict rely on notions about norms, grievances and capacity which operate at a local level and may not be fully captured by country-level data. In fact, both violent conflict and inequality vary significantly within countries, not least in a country as large and diverse as India. By combining a statistical analysis of all 640 districts with fieldwork in two regions that differ substantially in terms of equality and women?s status (Meghalaya and Uttar Pradesh), this project contributes by improving our understanding of the mechanisms behind inequality and violent conflict, which is also of utmost practical concern. Spelar jämställdhet någon roll för om en konflikt blir våldsam? Och har mer jämställda samhällen en större chans att hantera konflikter utan blodutgjutelse? Forskningen visar på att länder som har inte har jämställdhet oftare är inblandade både i mellanstatliga konflikter och i inbördeskrig. Dessutom är krig mer våldsamma i länder där kvinnor har låg status. Att få en bättre förståelse av varför jämställdhet och konflikt verkar hänga samman är inte bara akademiskt viktigt; det är också värdefullt för samhället i stort. I Indien har de senaste årens utveckling satt våld mot kvinnor och frågor om jämställdhet högt på den politiska dagordningen. Men frågan är även mycket aktuell utanför Indien. Den välkända FN-resolutionen 1325 om kvinnor, fred och säkerhet understryker vikten av att bättre förstå hur jämställdhet påverkar både konflikt och fred. Men varför skulle jämställdhet påverka risken för våldsam konflikt? Det finns flera olika förklaringar. Vissa forskare menar att negativa mansroller, så kallad hypermaskulinitet, leder till en ökad risk för att ?lösa? konflikter genom att ta till våld. Detta för att hypermaskulinitet förordar styrka och tuffhet som de enda sättet att hantera en konflikt. Medling och förståelse ses som svagheter. Det gör det möjligt att både lätt rekrytera män till stridande grupper och normativt sanktionera ett våldsbeteende. Andra forskare föreslår att det snarare är så att ett jämställt samhälle med högt kvinnligt deltagande minskar risken för våldsam konflikt. Det är för att satsningar på att förbättra kvinnors situation betyder att hela samhället får en högre kapacitet och därmed fler nätverk som kan användas för att lösa konflikter utan våld. Kvinnor kan också ha mindre att vinna på en konflikt och därför vara motiverade att motverka mobilisering och våldsanvändning. Ett problem för att besvara forskningsfrågan är dock att vi hittills undersökt den på en för hög nivå, dvs. landnivå. Det är problematiskt eftersom konflikter varierar mycket inom ett land. Ett viktigt exempel är Indien, ett land med en befolkning större än USA:s och Europas tillsammans, som har ett flertal konflikter men där mycket få av dem påverkar mer än några enstaka distrikt. På samma sätt är det med jämställdhet. T.ex. så finns det stora skillnader i kvinnors läskunnighet, politiska deltagande och representation bland Indiens 640 distrikt. För att bättre förstå länken mellan jämställdhet och konflikt behöver vi därför gräva djupare än att bara jämföra mellan länder. Indien är ett mycket bra land att studera närmare. Analysen underlättas av att informationen om landet också är mycket bra. Den indiska staten samlar hela tiden in en imponerande mängd material för varje distrikt vilket också gör att man lätt kan undersöka skillnader och utveckling. Projektet bidrar till att öka förståelsen om kopplingen mellan jämställdhet och våldsamma konflikter på två sätt. För det första sammanställer och analyserar projektet helt nyproducerad information om jämställdhet och konflikt i Indiens alla distrikt. Konfliktdataprogrammet vid Uppsala Universitet, som är världsledande när det gäller att samla in och kategorisera data om väpnade konflikter, har precis sammanställt information om alla konflikter på distriktsnivå i Indien. Projektet kan därför bidra på ett unikt sätt till forskningen genom denna detaljerade information. Den statistiska analysen kombineras sedan med fältarbete för att undersöka dynamiken djupare. Projektet intervjuar kvinnoorganisationer och aktörer på plats. T.ex. i staterna Meghalaya and Uttar Pradesh finns det distrikt som antigen valt att lösa sina konflikter med våld eller mer fredligt. De har också en mycket stor variation i kvinnors situation. För det andra görs ett teoretiskt bidrag genom att strukturera upp olika förklaringar och testa hur starka de är. På det sättet kan vi mer tydligt förstå varför jämställdhet och konflikt hänger samman.

In Burma anti-Muslim mobilization have in the recent years escalated. Anti-Muslim attacks has lead to large flows of refugees and Buddhist monks has led violent riots in defense of Buddhism directed against the country´s Muslim minority. In Sri Lanka, following the end of thirty-year of war in 2009, the nascent post-war period has witnessed an upsurge of Buddhist radicalization and violence against religious sites and members of religious communities and emerged as a key challenge for post-war reconciliation. The tensions between Buddhist majorities and Muslim minorities pose a challenge to peace and security within these countries and in the region. This project thus seek to generate deeper understanding of the religious radicalisation that is taking place in the context of political transitions in Sri Lanka and Burma and the implications this have for conflict escalation that is likely to hamper the budding economic development, human security and democratic advancements in the these countries. Detta projekt handlar om att förstå religiös radikalisering i spåren av dramatiska politiska och sociala förändringar. Efter kalla kriget har rädslan för kommunismen på många håll i världen kommit att ersättas av rädslan för islam som hotet från ?den Andre? mot nationen. I Syd- och Sydostasien pågår det idag inom en del buddistiska majoritetssamhällen en våldsam mobilisering mot muslimska minoriteter. I Burma 2012 dog 200 personer och 140 000 drevs på flykt när våldsamheter utbröt mellan buddister och muslimer i delstaten Rakhine. I Sri Lanka har man kunnat bevittna en upptrappning av våld och anti-muslimska attityder hos den singales-buddistiska majoritetsbefolkningen efter krigets slut 2009. Den centrala roll som buddistiska munkar har i den anti-muslimska diskursen i dessa länder verkar stå i motsats till den gängse synen på buddismen som en fredlig religion som ofta har blivit positivt särskild i väst. Motivationen till attacker mot islam och dess utövare i Burma och Sri Lanka är att islam upplevs som ett hot mot buddhismen. Framväxten av dessa spänningar mellan religiösa grupper sker i en kontext av snabba politiska förändringar ? efter ett långt inbördeskrig i Sri Lanka och ett långt militärstyre i Burma - och utgör en utmaning för utveckling, fred och säkerhet inte bara inom dessa länder utan i regionen som stort.

Barnarbete och skolgång i Indien Enligt siffror från ILO arbetade år 2008 176 miljoner barn i åldrarna 6-14 år. Majoriteten av de arbetande barnen är verksamma inom jordbrukssektorn, snarare än tillverkningssektorn. Dessutom är de flesta barnen ?anställda? av sina föräldrar på den egna gården eller i det egna familjeföretaget. Det är därför oerhört viktigt att studera barnarbete från hushållets perspektiv. I det här projektet studerar vi olika faktorer som kan påverka familjers beslut att låta barn arbeta, samt vilka konsekvenser arbetet får för barnen. Den första delen av projektet är inriktat på imperfekta marknader för mark, arbetskraft och kredit och vill belysa framförallt hur kreditmarknaden tillsammans med jordägande påverkar barnarbete och skolgång i Indien. Detta möjliggörs av detaljerad data som innehåller information om bland annat hushållets lån. I den andra delen av projektet kommer vi att utvärdera effekten av en lag om obligatorisk skolgång för barn i åldrarna 6-14 år. Lagen implementerades i Indien 2010, och vi har data från samma hushåll innan och efter införandet av lagen. Vi känner inte till någon tidigare studie som haft tillgång till så kallad paneldata på hur obligatorisk skolgång påverkar barns arbete. Förutom att studera effekterna på de direkt berörda barnen kommer vi också att studera eventuella effekter på deras syskon. Det är också troligt att effekterna varierar beroende av hushållets sammansättning. Den sista delen av projektet fokuserar på effekterna av barnarbete på längre sikt. Också detta delprojekt möjliggörs av att vi har en panel, och därmed kan följa samma barn över tiden. Till skillnad från i tidigare studier har vi information om läs-, skriv- och räknekunskaper både 2005 och 2012, vilket gör det möjligt att delvis kontrollera för ursprungliga skillnader mellan barnen.

Också detta delprojekt möjliggörs av att vi har en panel, och därmed kan följa samma barn över tiden. Till skillnad från i tidigare studier har vi information om läs-, skriv- och räknekunskaper både 2005 och 2012, vilket gör det möjligt att delvis kontrollera för ursprungliga skillnader mellan barnen.

Harsh conditions and internal problems have contributed to opposition parties in these countries being dismissed as failed. We question this and argue that repression and political manipulation have not eliminated opposition but given it a dynamic and transformational character. The project has three main aims: investigate recent organizational changes within Azerbaijani and Belarusian oppositions; observe and analyze the new opposition dynamics in action; and develop a toolbox on how to build a constructive opposition. The theoretical start is Bounce & Wolchik´s electoral model arguing that consolidation and actions of oppositional actors is more important than structural factors for regime change. Empirically, focusing on 2015 elections in Azerbaijan and Belarus, we will shed light on if and how opposition has managed to overcome its systematic failures and build a sustainable alternative political strategy. The study is based on interviews with politicians and democracy activists and debriefing workshops where observations will be shared, challenged and refined in talks with local and international activists, practitioners and researchers. The knowledge generated is important in the formulation of development policies towards the region. Our findings will be valuable tool for those involved in democracy assistance as well as those working for change. 2015 hålls parlamentsval och presidentval i Azerbajdzjan respektive Vitryssland. Dessa val är i fokus i vårt projekt. De fyra forskarna i vårt internationella team (från Sverige, Frankrike, Azerbajdzjan och Vitryssland) kommer att genomföra en ingående, kvalitativ, jämförande studie av hur opposition mobiliserar i Azerbajdzjan och Vitryssland under valprocessen. Studien baseras på intervjuer med partimedlemmar och demokratiaktivister och ett antal workshops där observationerna diskuteras med lokala och internationella aktivister, praktiker och forskare. Allmänna och återkommande val är numera snarare regel än undantag i de flesta av världens länder, men valen i så kallade elektorala autokratier (dit Azerbajdzjan och Vitryssland räknas) är ett spel för gallerierna. Dessa regimer håller regelbundna val men systematiska och långtgående kränkningar av grundläggande fri- och rättigheter gör att de inte är trovärdiga. Valen har emellertid blivit en viktig symbol för regimerna som vill påvisa att de är demokratiska. Också inom landet används valen som ett sätt att manifestera självständighet och demokratiska framsteg. För de som vill se politisk förändring blir valen, trots att de ofta är uppgjorda på förhand, viktiga eftersom valrörelsen egentligen är det enda tillfälle då oppositionspolitiker får tillgång till det offentliga rummet. I tidigare forskning, men också i allmänhet, beskrivs oftast politisk opposition i Azerbajdzjan och Vitryssland som marginaliserad, oorganiserad, ostrukturerad och dömd att misslyckas. Efter snart tjugo års kamp har oppositionspartierna inte lyckats åstadkomma något konkret. I ett antal andra post-sovjetiska stater som lyckades oppositionen med konststycket att störta korrupta diktatorer i färgstarka, blomdoftande demokratiska folkresningar under tidigt 2000-tal. Inte i Azerbajdzjan och Vitryssland, vilket tolkats som symptomatiskt för oppositionens inkompetens. Vi menar att det är dags att omvärdera den här synen. Även om det auktoritära styret i de här länderna är statiskt, eller förändras till det sämre, så är oppositionen mot det dynamisk. Förtryck, politisk manipulation och våldsamma trauman (i samband med tidigare valprotester) har startat en förändringsprocess hos oppositionspartierna. Kampen för politisk förändring bedrivs inte heller längre bara av politiska partier utan även religiösa grupper, ungdomsorganisationer, demokratiaktivister och andra individer kan räknas som oppositionella. Vårt projekt har både teoretiska och empiriska ambitioner. Först vill vi bidra till den vetenskapliga debatten kring demokratisering i auktoritära stater. Vi sällar oss här till den forskningsinriktning som hävdar att för att lyckas få till stånd regimskifte är det viktigaste en enig oppositionsrörelse, med ett starkt stöd från civilsamhället, som bedriver en konstruktiv, innovativ och massiv valmobiliseringskampanj till viss del stödd av internationella aktörer. Genom att analysera och problematisera politisk opposition och mobilisering i två fall där oppositionen redan avskrivits som misslyckad, med teoretiska verktyg som fokuserar på oppositionens karaktär och aktiviteter som genererats i studier av färgrevolutionerna, hoppas vi kunna bidra med kunskap om vad som karaktäriserar oppositionens pånyttfödelse och dess förändringsprocess samt vad som krävs för att oppositionskrafter i auktoritära stater ska bli framgångsrika. Empiriskt så studerar vi skillnader i sammansättningen och strategier hos oppositionen i Azerbajdzjan och Vitryssland, och hur dessa skillnader kan förstås. I vårt projekt finns också en mer policyinriktad strävan. Med tanke på att både Azerbajdzjan och Vitryssland är med i EUs Östliga partnerskap - ett initiativ för att underlätta närmandet mellan dessa länder och EU - är ökad kunskap om de politiska processerna i dessa länder viktig. Särskilt angeläget är att identifiera hur EU kan stödja utvecklingen mot ett fredligt, demokratiskt, mindre korrupt, mer förutsägbart Azerbajdzjan och Vitryssl Sweden The Swedish Research Council The Swedish Research Council +46 8 546 44 000 vetenskapsradet@vr.se www.vr.se Box 1035, 101 38 Stockholm, Sweden Azerbaijan Research/scientific institutions Other Multisector Saknas No indicator available - only a description of the activity results is published SE-0-SE-29-2014-5974-1 Sweden This is a comparative study of opposition as work in progress in two electoral autocratic regimes: Belarus and Azerbaijan.

Where demographic studies simply use abstract statistics to identify youth bulges and give woeful predictions of renewed conflicts driven by armies of disenfranchised youth, this study will concretely investigate how young people make a living in some of the poorest countries in the world. Youth in Sierra Leone and Liberia fought ten years of civil war. Socio-economy remains much the same in both countries after the war - poor remain poor. But does it mean that history will repeat itself, or will youth benefit from the new African growth - so much talked about. Through in-depth studies and long-term engagement we answer questions such as: How are labor structures manifested, and how do they change? How do young people find work in post-conflict landscapes and what does this mean for the societies they are part of? In particular, what impact do labor market experiences and the mechanisms for finding employment have on longitudinal relationships of dependence? This project aims to explore youths´ navigation of employment trajectories, and more particularly the role of young labor migration in the functioning of labor markets in Liberia and Sierra Leone. As such, it is an urgent study of a contemporary phenomenon in Africa; combining the fashionable topic of youth unemployment with the under-researched area of post-conflict labor markets and circular migration within countries. Hur hittar unga människor arbete i Liberia och Sierra Leone? Det här forskningsprojektet tar vid där många studier om unga afrikaner slutar: i efterkrigsmiljö. Flera samtida studier har sammankopplat ungdomsarbetslöshet med social oro, våldsamheter och förnyade konflikter. *Cirkulär nomadism: ungdom och arbete i efterkrigens Liberia och Sierra Leone* blickar bortom statistik och siffror. Istället undersöker vi mekanismerna bakom dessa förhållanden genom att kartlägga unga liberianers och sierra leoners strategier för att hitta arbete. Ett stort antal unga män och kvinnor deltog i över tio års inbördeskrig i de båda länderna. Krigen sågs av många unga som en revolt mot de äldre generationerna och mot ett samhälle som hindrat dem från att förändra och förbättra sin livssituation. Tyvärr finns sociala och ekonomiska orättvisor i stor utsträckning kvar efter krigens slut. Makt och pengar i två av världens fattigaste länder är fortfarande i händerna på en liten elit. Fattiga unga män och kvinnor i Liberia och Sierra Leone utkämpar en hård kamp för att överleva och arbetsmarknaden utgör allt som oftast ett hinder för deras möjligheter till att förbättra sina liv. Betyder detta att ländernas våldsamma historia riskerar att upprepa sig, eller kommer dessa unga att få ta del av den nya afrikanska tillväxten? Det är svårt för unga i Liberia och Sierra Leone att hitta arbete idag. Formella och stabila anställningar hör inte till vanligheterna och unga män och kvinnor måste därför vara mobila och flexibla. Forskning pekar på att unga ofta har flera olika inkomstbringande aktiviteter samtidigt och att de hittar arbete genom informella nätverk bestående av familj och vänner. Många gånger måste de flytta för att få jobb - till staden från landet - eller från staden till gruvområden och plantager. Anställningarna är osäkra, tidsbegränsade och inkomsterna är skrämmande små. I städerna är unga män och kvinnor försäljare på marknaden, taxichaufförer eller mekaniker. De har nästan alltid också ansvar för hem och hushåll samt hjälper till att försörja både släkt och vänner. Väldigt få har råd att vara arbetslösa när inget välfärdssystem finns och alla är beroende av varandra för att klara dagen. Samtidigt hindrar arbetsmarknaden såsom den ser ut idag unga från att integreras formellt i samhället. Med detta som bakgrund undersöker projektet ungdomars väg till arbete genom att titta på hur och var unga hittar arbete inom de två länderna, de informella nätverk genom vilka jobb oftast förmedlas, samt arbetsmarknadernas struktur. Studien utförs med hjälp av etnografisk metod; djupstudier och direkt umgänge under långa perioder för att på så sätt nå djupare och mer detaljerad kunskap om ungdomarnas situation. Forskningsprojektets resultat kommer fördjupa kunskapen om unga och arbete i Liberia och Sierra Leone, men även producera generaliserbar data. Det kommer skapa förståelse för hur unga män och kvinnor får ekonomin, och därmed även livet, att gå runt. Resultaten kommer vara betydelsefulla, i akademisk kontext, men också i mer policyinriktade sammanhang. Vi utvecklar ett teoretiskt ramverk som är användbart för att undersöka ung arbetsmigration i postkonfliktmiljöer med särskilt fokus på informella strukturer. Projektet kommer tillföra ett välbehövligt empiriskt material om ungas arbetssituation i postkonfliktområden. Ungdomssysselsättning är idag ett prioriterat område, inte bara i de två länder som projektet undersöker, utan även i ett större afrikanskt sammanhang av efterkrigsmiljöer med stora, unga befolkningar. Resultaten kommer bidra med kunskap till svenskt utvecklings- och biståndsarbete. Studien kommer ge upphov till en fördjupad dialog mellan forskning och praktik. Genom att anlägga ett genusperspektiv och fokusera särskilt på unga kvinnors erfarenheter på arbetsmarknaden ger projektet även plats åt en samhällsgrupp som ofta exkluderas i ungdomsstudier i Afrika.

Hence, this mutual collaborative research will focus on searching and developing anti-TB agents from plants surrounding the hot springs in Tanzania. Spridningen av tuberkulos har ökat över hela världen, särskilt i Afrikas södra regioner. Sjukdomen orsakas av en mikroorganism av släktet Mycobacterium, och dess effekt har avsevärt förvärrats genom tillkomsten av bakterier vilka utvecklat resistens mot antibiotika vilket komplicerar hanteringen av sjukdomen. Under 2003 registrerades åtta miljoner nya infektioner över hela världen tillsammans med två miljoner dödsfall. Dödssiffran under 2004 uppgick till 2,6 miljoner och under samma år uppskattades att en tredjedel av världens befolkning var aktivt smittad. För närvarande, enligt WHO, blir någon smittad med tuberkulos varje sekund. Växter som traditionellt använts vid behandling av tuberkulos och tillhörande luftvägsinfektioner kan vara en bra källa för framställning av nya och säkra anti TBC-mediciner. De är ofta mer överkomliga och lättare att tillverka eftersom de finns tillgängliga från växt extrakt i de samhällen som fortfarande är beroende av traditionella healers för tillhandahållande av hälsovård. Ett antal växter som används i traditionella läkemedel undersöks för närvarande för behandling av tuberkulos. Bland de växter i Tanzania som har dokumenterad aktivitet mot Mycobacterium och andra luftvägsinfektioner, har endast ett fåtal studerats mer ingående och i de flesta fall utan undersökning av analoga föreningar relaterade till den aktiva ingrediensen. Syftet med detta projekt är därför att undersöka medicinalväxter som härstammar från de geotermiska varma källor som finns i Tanzania med målet att finna nya anti TBC-mediciner. Undersökningen kommer att innefatta testning av växtextrakt, isolering av aktiva ingredienser samt syntes och testning av analoga föreningar.

By questioning why some actors are able to discipline their fighters, this study will contribute to our wider understanding of the direct and indirect internal factors that lead to wartime rape, sexual exploitation and similar abuses. The project will explore the causes of control of sexual violence among different non-state armed political actors – Palipehutu-FNL i Burundi; Folkets befrielsearmé i Namibia (PLAN), armén av SWAPO, South West African Folkets Organisation; och Uganda National Resistance Army / rörelse (NRA / M). Despite their different histories and geo-political contexts; their diverse political circumstances; and their dissimilar cultural contexts, these actors managed to control the sexual violence behavior of their members. The project’s data collection techniques include focus group research with former members of FNL, PLAN/SWAPO and NRA/M. By investigating these armed political actors’ disciplinary practices, the project will advance the possibility for arriving at a general theory of armed group control of sexual violence. De sätt på vilka väpnade politiska aktörer förhindrar sexuellt våld är fortfarande ett olöst forskningsproblem. Genom att undersöka varför vissa aktörer förmår att disciplinera och kontrollera sina stridandes beteenden bidrager denna studie till vår bredare förståelse av de direkta och indirekta interna faktorer som i krig leder till våldtäkt, sexuellt utnyttjande och liknande övergrepp. Projektet avser att undersöka orsakerna till kontroll över sexuellt våld bland olika icke-statliga väpnade politiska aktörer – Palipehutu-FNL i Burundi; Folkets befrielsearmé i Namibia (PLAN), armén av SWAPO, South West African Folkets Organisation; och Uganda National Resistance Army / rörelse (NRA / M). Trots olika utveckling och geo-politiska förhållanden; skilda politiska sammanhang; och varierande kulturella situationer lyckades dessa aktörer kontrollera medlemmarnas beteenden avseende sexuellt våld.

By questioning why some actors are able to discipline their fighters, this study will contribute to our wider understanding of the direct and indirect internal factors that lead to wartime rape, sexual exploitation and similar abuses. The project will explore the causes of control of sexual violence among different non-state armed political actors – Palipehutu-FNL i Burundi; Folkets befrielsearmé i Namibia (PLAN), armén av SWAPO, South West African Folkets Organisation; och Uganda National Resistance Army / rörelse (NRA / M). Despite their different histories and geo-political contexts; their diverse political circumstances; and their dissimilar cultural contexts, these actors managed to control the sexual violence behavior of their members. The project’s data collection techniques include focus group research with former members of FNL, PLAN/SWAPO and NRA/M. By investigating these armed political actors’ disciplinary practices, the project will advance the possibility for arriving at a general theory of armed group control of sexual violence. De sätt på vilka väpnade politiska aktörer förhindrar sexuellt våld är fortfarande ett olöst forskningsproblem. Genom att undersöka varför vissa aktörer förmår att disciplinera och kontrollera sina stridandes beteenden bidrager denna studie till vår bredare förståelse av de direkta och indirekta interna faktorer som i krig leder till våldtäkt, sexuellt utnyttjande och liknande övergrepp. Projektet avser att undersöka orsakerna till kontroll över sexuellt våld bland olika icke-statliga väpnade politiska aktörer – Palipehutu-FNL i Burundi; Folkets befrielsearmé i Namibia (PLAN), armén av SWAPO, South West African Folkets Organisation; och Uganda National Resistance Army / rörelse (NRA / M). Trots olika utveckling och geo-politiska förhållanden; skilda politiska sammanhang; och varierande kulturella situationer lyckades dessa aktörer kontrollera medlemmarnas beteenden avseende sexuellt våld.

Complications from spontaneous and unsafely induced abortions add significantly to maternal mortality and morbidity. The problem is most pronounced in the 2nd trimester of pregnancy. In low resource settings including Uganda where abortion is restrictive and often self-induced, it is imperative to provide PAC. PAC services include treatment of abortion complications such as incomplete abortion and infection and provision of contraception if required. To date, there is no established medical regimen for second trimester PAC and the recommended method is surgical manual vacuum aspiration (MVA) despite that equipment, and training is frequently lacking. Unsafe and outdated methods such as sharp curettage are frequently used. If available a medical method would incerase access to safe PAC. Therefore we propose to study the efficacy, safety and acceptability of misoprostol treatment versus MVA in a randomised controlled non-inferiority trial (RCT) including 1030 women seeking treatment for incomplete second trimester spontaneous or induced abortion at six District Health Centres in central Uganda. Primary outcome is the efficacy of the treatment to expel the retained tissue without need for additional surgical intervention. Secondary outcomes will include the safety, and acceptability of PAC provision by treatment group (MVA and misoprostol) and contraceptive uptake. All health care providers (doctors and midwives (contraceptive counselling)) providing PAC will be trained according to standardized PAC training modules. The WHO recommended misoprostol regimen for second trimester induced abortion will be used for PAC: 400mcg sublingual every 3 hours up to 5 doses Inclusion criteria: Bleeding and contractions during pregnancy. Exclusions criteria: Women < 15 years old, known allergy to misoprostol, a uterine size < 12 weeks or > 15 weeks, unstable hemodynamic status and chock, signs of pelvic infection and/or sepsis. Main and secondary outcomes will be evaluated at follow up visit between 14-28 days by a obstetrician/gynecologist blinded to treatment allocation. A study cocordinating centre will be established at Mulago Hospital, Kampala. Preparations, permissions, and training will be ready by mid 2016. It is estimated that recruitment will start in 2016 and continue thorugh 2017. In 2018 data cleaning, analyses, and dissemination will be performed. Significance. We have shown that misoprostol is highly effective, acceptable and can safely be administered by midwives for first trimester PAC. There are several reasons to investigate the medical management option also for second trimester incomplete abortion including the difficulty in providing surgical methods in low resource settings due to scarcity of trained providers, sterile equipment and poor access to high level centres where surgical procedures are safely performed. Out-dated, unsafe methods such as sharp curettage are frequently used by untrained providers. In addition, in the setting of Ebola crisis where women are having abortions or miscarriages and there is reticence to have direct contact with infected women, an effective medical PAC regimen is paramount. In conjunction to the issue of limited trained providers, a misoprostol alone regimen for PAC would allow increased access. Results from this study can act as a springboard for future studies on midlevel provision of medical regimen for incomplete abortion management in the second trimester. The result will be used to inform policy makers and to revise training and service-delivery guidelines’ on a national level in Uganda.

Traditionellt utförs PAC med kirugiska metoder. Våra tidigare studier har lett till en förenklad medicinsk behandling av ofullständiga 1a trimesteraborter genom användning av misoprostol (abortpiller). Denna behandling är säker och effektiv och väl accepterad av kvinnor. En stor fördel är att den kan utföras av barnmorskor även inom primärvård där tillgång till läkare och möjlighet till operationer och kirurgisk behandling ofta saknas. De allra flesta komplikationer och dödsfall efter osäkra aborter sker dock i senare graviditeter under andra trimestern, en period då man sällan ser ofullständiga spontana missfall. Kirurgisk behandling vid andra trimester PAC är mer komplicerad och görs oftare med osäkra metoder. Medicinsk behandling av andra trimester PAC saknas. Som ett led i att minska abortrelaterad dödlighet och sjuklighet bland kvinnor världen över är tillgång till preventivmedel och preventivmedelsrådgivning inkluderade i PAC centralt. Projektet: Projektet genomförs på distriktsnivå i centrala Uganda. Hög fertilitet, låg preventivmedelsanvändning som leder till oönskade graviditeter med efterföljande osäkra aborter är vanligt i Uganda. Ökad tillgänglighet till säker PAC behandling för kvinnor boende på landsbygd kan minska dödlighet och sjuklighet i relation till osäkert utförda andra trimester aborter. Hälsoministerierna liksom WHO ser det som nödvändigt att hitta metoder för att minska den höga mödradödligheten. Stöd från regeringsnivå och medverkande lokala forskare ökar projektets genomförbarhet. Syfte och metod: För att utvärdera effektivitet och säkerhet av misoprostol som behandling vid ofullständig abort i andra trimestern jämfört med kirurgisk behandling med så kallad MVA, planeras en randomiserad kontrollerad studie. Genomförande: 1030 kvinnor som söker vård för ofullständig andra trimester abort på sex olika vårdcentraler/distriktssjukhus i centrala Uganda lottas till kirurgisk eller medicinsk behandling. Utfallen som analyseras är fullständig abort utan komplikation, acceptans och val/start av preventivmedelsmetod. Projektets betydelse: Projektet kommer att ge helt ny information om andra trimester PAC med misoprostol med avseende på effektivitet, säkerhet och acceptans. Om en medicinsk behandling är minst lika effektiv som kirurgisk behandling kan detta öka kvinnors tillgänglighet till säker behandling av ofullständig abort på primärvårdsnivå och minska användningen av osäkra metoder. Att utveckla en medicinsk behandlingsmetod för PAC är angeläget av flera skäl men inkluderar svårigheter att använda kirurgi på grund av brist på läkare och steril utrustning och få center utrustade för kirurgi vid andra trimester ingrepp. Behovet av medicinsk behandling har också blivit tydligt under Ebola krisen för att hantera inkompletta aborter och missfall utan direkt kontakt med den infekterade kvinnan. En medicinsk behandling kan potentiellt även utföras av barnmorskor. Projektet kan också leda till förbättrad preventivmedelsrådgivning vid PAC behandling.

One way to solve this is desalination, which is simply a method to remove salt and other minerals from sea water. However, a large-scale desalination plant are restricted to areas with good and reliable energy supply and existing electric grid. In many of the developing countries, the infrastructure required to run a desalination plant is not available. The purpose with this project is to investigate the prerequisites for using a wave energy plant located on the Kenyan coast to power a desalination plant for producing fresh and clean water. The project will be based on the wave energy conversion system developed by the Division for electricity at Uppsala University. The study includes an assessment of the wave energy potential in Kenya, measurements of the load criteria for a desalination plant that together with modeling of the power production of a wave energy plant will give input on how to design and operate a desalination plant that is powered by wave energy. The main goal of the project is an improved access to clean water and an increase in renewable energy in a developing country. But the plant, if realized, will also lead to more jobs and a more developed and sustainable infrastructure and thereby increase the resources and economic growth within the country. Det globala behovet av och bristen på rent och friskt vatten att dricka, för renhållning och jordbruk är ett ständigt växande problem, särskilt i utvecklingsländer med låg naturlig tillgång till färskvatten. Ett sätt att lösa detta är genom avsaltning, vilket helt enkelt är en metod att ta bort salt och andra mineraler från havsvatten. Men en storskalig avsaltningsanläggning begränsas till områden med god och tillförlitlig energitillförsel och befintliga elnät, vilket saknas eller är inte fullt utbyggt i många av världens utvecklingsländer. Enligt US Geological Survey, fanns år 2002 cirka 12 500 avsaltningsanläggningar runt om i världen med en daglig produktion av färskvatten på cirka 14 miljoner m3/dygn. De största användarna av avsaltat vatten idag ligger i Mellanöstern och där uppskattas produktion 2020 uppgå till cirka 40 miljoner m3/dygn. Länder som saknar ett väl utbyggt elnät skulle kunna lösa problemet genom att driva avsaltningsanläggningen med ett isolerat kraftverk. Flera förnybara energikällor har föreslagits och undersökts för att använda för färskvattenproduktion t.ex. vind, sol, och geotermi. Ett exempel på en autonom (utanför elnätet) avsaltningsanläggning med vindkraft är SDAWES projektet på Gran Canaria. I det projekt användes två 230 kW vindturbiner för att driva en avsaltningsanläggning. Syftet med detta projekt är att undersöka förutsättningarna för att använda en vågenergianläggning belägen på den Kenyanska kusten för att driva en avsaltningsanläggning som ska producera färskt och rent vatten i Kenya. Ett antal vågkraftskoncept har undersökts för möjligheten att användas för avsaltning av havsvatten, både indirekt genom att använda den producerade elen till att driva en avsaltningsnläggning samt direkt genom att ha en avsaltningsmekanism inbyggd i vågkraftverket. Det här projektet kommer att baseras på den vågkraftsteknik som utvecklas av Avdelningen för elektricitetslära vid Uppsala universitet. Det är en teknik som utvecklats i över 10 år och som har testats i full skala vid en testanläggning utanför Lysekil på den svenska västkusten.

World Health Organization (WHO) projects that diabetes will be the 7th leading cause of death in 2030. More than 80% of diabetes deaths occur in low- and middle-income countries because dealing with such a disease requires a daily treatment that is too expensive. A major cost is the measurement of glucose level in the blood with a glucometer and a strip. In this project, we want to demonstrate that mass-production techniques, such as printing, can be used in combination with radically new sensor concept and novel electronic materials to fabricate a glucometer on a piece of paper: "the glucometer label". This would reduce the cost of a glucometer system by 50 times and make it affordable for many more diabetes patients, thus preventing the worse disabling consequences of diabetes as well as death. Our research proposal lies at the intersection of several sub-research areas that have not been put together in the past: printed electronics, molecular-junction electronics and biosensors. So, this project is lying at the fore-front of materials science and electronics but has a clear path and motivation towards application and product. We are aware that radically new technologies takes time to reach the market. Because of the urgency of the situation in low-income countries, we try to plan at best to reduce the maturation time. The multidisciplinary character expresses it-self by the need of chemistry, physics, electronics, biology and medicine. This is a 5-year project that will be realized at Linköping University in collaboration with the University of Bujumbura (Burundi). We will start from our recent technological breakthrough: We succeeded to print (in air, without any high temperature annealing) the first resonant tunneling diode working up to 1.5GHz (Published in PNAS and commented in Nature 511, 267(2014)). The integration of a chemical sensing function in a resonant tunneling diode has not been considered up to now. But the architecture of our device is very suitable since the analyte (glucose) can easily reach the sensing region and that the current in the diode can only passes through the sensing region.

World Health Organization (WHO) projects that diabetes will be the 7th leading cause of death in 2030. More than 80% of diabetes deaths occur in low- and middle-income countries because dealing with such a disease requires a daily treatment that is too expensive. A major cost is the measurement of glucose level in the blood with a glucometer and a strip. In this project, we want to demonstrate that mass-production techniques, such as printing, can be used in combination with radically new sensor concept and novel electronic materials to fabricate a glucometer on a piece of paper: "the glucometer label". This would reduce the cost of a glucometer system by 50 times and make it affordable for many more diabetes patients, thus preventing the worse disabling consequences of diabetes as well as death. Our research proposal lies at the intersection of several sub-research areas that have not been put together in the past: printed electronics, molecular-junction electronics and biosensors. So, this project is lying at the fore-front of materials science and electronics but has a clear path and motivation towards application and product. We are aware that radically new technologies takes time to reach the market. Because of the urgency of the situation in low-income countries, we try to plan at best to reduce the maturation time. The multidisciplinary character expresses it-self by the need of chemistry, physics, electronics, biology and medicine. This is a 5-year project that will be realized at Linköping University in collaboration with the University of Bujumbura (Burundi). We will start from our recent technological breakthrough: We succeeded to print (in air, without any high temperature annealing) the first resonant tunneling diode working up to 1.5GHz (Published in PNAS and commented in Nature 511, 267(2014)). The integration of a chemical sensing function in a resonant tunneling diode has not been considered up to now. But the architecture of our device is very suitable since the analyte (glucose) can easily reach the sensing region and that the current in the diode can only passes through the sensing region. The sensing region consists of a self-assembled monolayer located between the Si particles and the metal foil. Specially designed molecular junctions can react with glucose and change the tunneling current in the diode. We will use a battery of material characterization methods and theoretical prediction tools to design the best molecular recognition systems and the most efficient device architecture.

The most effective way to prevent malaria transmission is vector control. The long-term sustainability of the currently used vector control tools, long lasting insecticide treated nets and indoor residual spraying is threatened by the development of insecticide resistance, as well as behavioural avoidance of adult mosquitoes. Furthermore they completely omit malaria vectors that do not (exclusively) feed on humans, indoors, at night. Therefore we need novel vector control tools. One attractive alternative is odour bated gravid traps. This intervention could target all malaria vectors irrespective of their host-seeking behaviour and insecticide resistance status. The purpose of this application is to identify novel oviposition attractants that can be used as odour bates in gravid traps. Recently we identified cedrol, a sesquiterpene alcohol as the first oviposition attractant for African malaria vectors. It is likely that gravid Anopheles females use a range of volatiles to find suitable oviposition sites and blends of attractant semiochemicals are expected to improve the efficiency of the gravid trap. Finding the source(s) of cedrol, might help to identify novel putative oviposition attractants released from the same or similar sources. The available data suggest that cedrol may be a result of fungal metabolism and we will therefore examine the fungal community in the oviposition substrates cedrol was identified from. We will utilize fungal cultures as substrates in ovipositon bioassays and collect and identify the volatiles released from the cultures. Based on the data novel putative oviposition attractants will be selected for evaluation in oviposition bioassays with An. gambiae females. Furthermore, recent evidence suggest that it may be possible to develop odour baits that attract a range of malaria vectors and thereby target all of them with an odour bated gravid trap. Here we will test the effect of cedrol and any other confirmed An. gambiae oviposition attractants on the oviposition behaviour of other primary and secondary malaria vectors like An. funestus An. coustani and An. rivulorum.. Identification of an odour blend that attract several primary and secondary malaria vectors would be a large step forward in the development of novel malaria control interventions.

De myggkontrollmetoder som används för att kontrollera malaria idag fokuserar på de myggarter som är bäst på att sprida malaria och är inriktade på mygghonans beteende när hon söker efter blod; hon föredrar att bita människor, inomhus, på natten. Även om de här metoderna är effektiva och har hjälpt till att få ner dödsfallen orsakade av malaria så har de problem med resistensutveckling mot de myggifter som används. Dessutom kan de inte användas mot de myggarter som söker blod vid andra tidpunkter eller på andra platser. Det långsiktiga målet med vår forskning är att utveckla nya kontroll metoder som fokuserar på ett annat för myggan viktigt beteende, nämligen äggläggning. Genom att kombinera en sådan metod med de som redan används kan vi kontrollera även de myggor som är resistenta mot myggifterna eller som biter utomhus på dagtid. Vi har tidigare kunnat visa att mygghonor väljer vart hon lägger sina ägg utifrån olika faktorer och att en av dem är doftsignaler.

Understanding the role of biochar for improved food and energy security, poverty alleviation and gender dynamics requires a multi-disciplinary approach. Building on a first stage exploratory project, the goals of the proposed project are to identify and develop, together with farmers, niches for on-farm smallholder biochar production and use in various agro-ecological, socio-cultural and gender landscapes. Research methodologies in the proposed project include both participatory action research to provide on-farm science-based evidence related to real life localized production of biochar in gasifying cookstoves (WP1) and use of biochar in the farming system (WP3) and strategic research further characterizing biochar properties in relation to production methods and quality aspects (WP2) and assessing biochar contributions to improved food security in small holder farming systems and climate change mitigation (WP4). The project will run for 4 years, in three sites in Kenya, involving a multi-disciplinary team (environmental engineer, socio-economists, agronomists and soil scientists) of experienced researchers from SLU, LU, IITA and ICRAF. The proposed project will fill engendered knowledge gaps on understanding farmer’s constraints and opportunities in relation to producing and using biochar on-farm, as well as understanding contributions of biochar production and use to food security, energy security and climate change mitigation. With this knowledge, it will be possible to identify when and how biochar can be beneficial components in bio-based economies. Genom att tillsätta förkolnat växtmaterial, så kallat biokol, till marken kan man binda in koldioxid från atmosfären i en stabil form i marken. Samtidigt kan markens odlingsegenskaper förbättras. Kol från träd och andra växter kan också användas som ett förnybart bränsle. Om det finns begränsat med växtmaterial så kan det bli konkurrens mellan biokol som jordförbättring och som bränsle. Det finns ny småskalig teknik för att framställa kol, i spisar som används för matlagning, vilket kan öka energieffektiviteten och minska luftföroreningarna inomhus Biokol har därför flera olika möjligheter att förbättra levnadsförhållandena i Kenya och andra afrikanska länder, genom förbättrade skördar, bättre tillgång till bränsle och minskade luftföroreningar. I det här projektet kommer vi att undersöka om och hur detta kan förverkligas hos småbönder i tre regioner i Kenya. Forskargruppen består av forskare från SLU (www.slu.se), Lunds Universitet (www.lu.se), the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (www.iita.org) och the WorldAgroforestry Centre (www.worldagroforestrycentre.org) som är specialister inom energi, tropisk mark och växtproduktion, samt socio-ekonomi. Projektet syftar till att utvärdera, tillsammans med småskaliga bönder från tre regioner i Kenya, 1) energieffekten och hur det är att använda speciella biokols-spisar, 2) kvaliteten på det producerade biokolet i relation till hur det producerades, 3) hur det är att använda biokolet som ett jord- och växt förbättringsmedel på gården, och 4) klimatpåverkan från att producera och använda biokol. Projektet kommer att ge ny kunskap från gårds- och fältanvändning, vilket är ett steg vidare från laboratoriestudier och kontrollerade fältförsök. Det ger förståelse av biokolsanvändning i småskaliga jordbrukssystem i Afrika, och är basen för vidare spridning av biokol som en tänkbar teknologi för förbättrad miljö och livsvillkor.

Building on a first stage exploratory project, the goals of the proposed project are to identify and develop, together with farmers, niches for on-farm smallholder biochar production and use in various agro-ecological, socio-cultural and gender landscapes. Research methodologies in the proposed project include both participatory action research to provide on-farm science-based evidence related to real life localized production of biochar in gasifying cookstoves (WP1) and use of biochar in the farming system (WP3) and strategic research further characterizing biochar properties in relation to production methods and quality aspects (WP2) and assessing biochar contributions to improved food security in small holder farming systems and climate change mitigation (WP4). The project will run for 4 years, in three sites in Kenya, involving a multi-disciplinary team (environmental engineer, socio-economists, agronomists and soil scientists) of experienced researchers from SLU, LU, IITA and ICRAF. The proposed project will fill engendered knowledge gaps on understanding farmer’s constraints and opportunities in relation to producing and using biochar on-farm, as well as understanding contributions of biochar production and use to food security, energy security and climate change mitigation. With this knowledge, it will be possible to identify when and how biochar can be beneficial components in bio-based economies. Genom att tillsätta förkolnat växtmaterial, så kallat biokol, till marken kan man binda in koldioxid från atmosfären i en stabil form i marken. Samtidigt kan markens odlingsegenskaper förbättras. Kol från träd och andra växter kan också användas som ett förnybart bränsle. Om det finns begränsat med växtmaterial så kan det bli konkurrens mellan biokol som jordförbättring och som bränsle. Det finns ny småskalig teknik för att framställa kol, i spisar som används för matlagning, vilket kan öka energieffektiviteten och minska luftföroreningarna inomhus Biokol har därför flera olika möjligheter att förbättra levnadsförhållandena i Kenya och andra afrikanska länder, genom förbättrade skördar, bättre tillgång till bränsle och minskade luftföroreningar. I det här projektet kommer vi att undersöka om och hur detta kan förverkligas hos småbönder i tre regioner i Kenya. Forskargruppen består av forskare från SLU (www.slu.se), Lunds Universitet (www.lu.se), the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (www.iita.org) och the WorldAgroforestry Centre (www.worldagroforestrycentre.org) som är specialister inom energi, tropisk mark och växtproduktion, samt socio-ekonomi. Projektet syftar till att utvärdera, tillsammans med småskaliga bönder från tre regioner i Kenya, 1) energieffekten och hur det är att använda speciella biokols-spisar, 2) kvaliteten på det producerade biokolet i relation till hur det producerades, 3) hur det är att använda biokolet som ett jord- och växt förbättringsmedel på gården, och 4) klimatpåverkan från att producera och använda biokol. Projektet kommer att ge ny kunskap från gårds- och fältanvändning, vilket är ett steg vidare från laboratoriestudier och kontrollerade fältförsök. Det ger förståelse av biokolsanvändning i småskaliga jordbrukssystem i Afrika, och är basen för vidare spridning av biokol som en tänkbar teknologi för förbättrad miljö och livsvillkor.

In societies characterised by deep-running political divisions, inequalities and exclusion, the issue of how to organise and distribute political power impacts hugely on stability. Devolution of power and resources to sub-national entities is often promoted as a remedy for problems of exclusion. However, changes in territorial demarcation and relocation of authority set off struggles over who should exercise what power, how and where. At the same time, fluid political identities frequently conflict with the scope of territorial and authority structures. The projects aims to 1) analyse how the contestation over devolved power in Kenya and Uganda influences political inclusion and exclusion and 2) contribute to theoretical development with regard to how the above is shaped by the interplay between formal and informal institutions and boundaries. The project seeks to capture this through empirical studies, based on interviews, policy documents and legislation, of struggles over territory, authority and identity at the sub-national level. Många länder runt om i världen, inklusive i Afrika, präglas av regionala ojämlikheter, starka subnationella identiteter och en ojämnt närvarande statsmakt. Detta har lett till konflikter kring hur politisk makt ska organiseras och fördelas mellan nivåer och landsändar. I många fall har man har de senaste decennierna som svar på dessa utmaningar genomfört olika former av decentralisering. På lokal nivå har förändringarna omfattat nya politiska församlingar och överföring av resurser och befogenheter, ofta inom ramen för nydragna administrativa gränser. Samtidigt förändras också mer informella dimensioner av politik såsom politiska identiteter, knutna till plats, etnisk tillhörighet, klass och kön. I många länder i Afrika äger de här båda processerna rum i ett bredare sammanhang, där relationerna mellan centralmakt och lokalsamhälle och lokalt styre präglas av staters begränsade utvecklingskapacitet, ojämn regional utveckling inom länderna samt konkurrerande anspråk på legitim representation. Det här projektet syftar, genom fallen Kenya och Uganda, till att undersöka hur dessa parallella processer – förändrade institutionella reformer och politiska identiteter – påverkar varandra, och hur de var och en för sig och tillsammans inverkar på politisk inkludering och exkludering. Den här allmänna problematiken analyseras i två regioner i respektive land. I Kenya, med en lång historia av markant centralisering av makt, införde den nya grundlagen från 2010 decentralisering till 47 län, något som verkställdes med valen i mars 2013. Uganda har en historia av lägre grad av stabilt centraliserad makt samt decentralisering till mindre distrikt. Den formella decentraliseringen samspelar med andra varianter av lokal politisk dynamik, kretsande kring etnicitet, och, i Ugandas fall, kring kungadömen. De utvalda regionerna, Nakuru county i centrala Rift Valley samt Mombasa i den gamla kustprovinsen i Kenya, och Buganda- och Bunyororegionerna i Uganda, är både politiskt viktiga i sig, och betydelsefulla för hur relationen mellan respektive centralmakt och lokalstyre utformas i stort. Samspelet mellan institutionella reformer och politiska identiteter är påfallande föränderligt. Detta påverkas förstås starkt av det övergripande politiska ramverket; båda ländernas styrelseskick uppvisar en blandning av formella demokratiska institutioner och auktoritär praktik. Hur är dessa tendenser förknippade med decentralisering? Erfarenheter från andra håll visar att förutsättningarna för att decentralisering ska medföra markant ökad jämlikhet i deltagande och inflytande måste betraktas som blygsamma. Däremot finns det fog för att uppmärksamma tendenser till både decentraliserad elitdominans och exkluderande identitetspolitik, kretsande till omstridda territoriella indelningar. Frågeställningen studeras empiriskt genom undersökningar av hur gränsdragningar av territorier och identiteter påverkar tillgång till och utestängning från politiskt inflytande på lokal nivå. Materialet består dels av dokument i form av lagstiftning, policydokument, valresultat, partiprogram, skriftliga inlagor av olika aktörer, samt pressmaterial; dels av intervjuer med olika kategorier såsom politiker och tjänstemän, politiska aktivister samt vanliga medborgare. I slutskedet av projektet kommer slutsatserna från delstudierna att ligga till grund för en bredare teoretisk analys av projektets frågeställningar. Genom en jämförelse av de två länderna leder projektet till ökad kunskap om förutsättningarna för politisk inkludering och exkludering i politiska sammanhang som präglas av ojämn regional utveckling inom länder, samt snabb föränderlighet vad gäller såväl statliga strukturer och politiska institutioner som politiska identiteter.

Also high concentrations of manganese, an essential element which is shown to be neurotoxic at higher doses, have been detected in infant food. Specifically, we will i) estimate the exposure to the toxic metals through rice; ii) evaluate different biomarkers of manganese exposure; iii) evaluate associations of exposure biomarkers (in children with low arsenic and manganese in drinking water) with available data on child growth and development, including effects of combined exposure; and iv) assess the interactions with known susceptibility factors, such as nutrition, gender, and genetic predisposition. The studies will be based on our ongoing large and well-characterized mother-child cohort (n=1500) in a poor area in rural Bangladesh. Because rice is the main staple food and the nutritional status varies markedly, this cohort provides unique possibilities to evaluate potential health effects of the toxic metals in rice on children and important susceptibility factors. In this cohort, we have assessed child anthropometry and development (cognitive performance and behavior) at 1.5, 5 and 10 years of age in relation to elevated metals exposure through drinking water. The total exposure to arsenic, cadmium and manganese is based on available concentrations in biomarkers, such as concentrations in urine and blood, measured in the mothers during pregnancy and in the children at the different follow-ups. We also have detailed information on the concentrations in the drinking water used over time. In a sub-sample, we have also measured metals and other trace elements in rice (various types and degree of polishing). The exposure to the metals through rice will be evaluated based on the i) estimated intake through rice, ii) the biomarker concentrations in the children with low concentrations in the drinking water and iii) the intercept of the biomarker concentrations regressed against the drinking water concentrations. As there is no known biomarker for manganese exposure, we will, in a sub-sample evaluate the relationship between various biomarkers (urine, blood, plasma, and hair), analyzed by modern ICP-MS in clean-room facilities, and also with the concentrations in water. All biomarker concentrations will also be compared with those in rice, measured in a sub-sample of the cohort. Evaluations will be gender-specific and consider nutritional status (anthropometry, SES and biomarker concentrations of selenium, zinc, and iodine), known to affect both absorption and toxicity. We will also evaluate impact of polymorphisms in genes related to kinetics of arsenic (main arsenic methyltransferase, AS3MT) and manganese (the solute carrier SLC30A10, coding a manganese efflux transporter). The results will be essential for the ongoing risk assessment of metals in infant and child food, especially for poor families in countries with rice-based staple food. There are few standards for toxic metals in infant and child food, and little known about risk factors. Also, the results will provide additional support for breast-feeding and for development of recommendation and product development. Under senare tid har det uppmärksammats att risbaserad mat, även sådan för små barn, ofta innehåller oroväckande halter av mycket giftiga metaller som arsenik och kadmium och även mycket höga halter av mangan, som liksom järn är ett livsnödvändigt ämne men som i höga doser är giftigt framför allt för små barn. Anledningen till de höga halterna är att risplantan, jämfört med andra spannmål, lätt tar upp dessa metaller från jorden. Så ris kan innehålla höga relativt halter även i icke förorenade områden. Upptäckten har föranlett en betydande ökning av forskningen rörande mekanismer för hur ris tar upp metaller, fr a arsenik. Men, vi vet väldigt lite om i vilken utsträckning ris och risprodukter bidrar till metallexponeringen hos små barn, hur metallerna tas upp i tarmen, samt vilka faktorer som kan påverka både upptag och giftighet. I experimentella studier har det visats att flera metaller tas upp i högre utsträckning hos barn än hos vuxna eftersom tarmen, med dess specifika relersystem, ännu inte är fullt utvecklad. Vidare är det troligt att barn är känsligare för metallernas skadliga egenskaper än vuxna. Framför allt det centrala nervsystemet (hjärnan) är speciellt känsligt för giftiga ämnen under utvecklingen. Flera studier har även visat att miljö-påverkan tidigt i livet ökar risken för flera folksjukdomar långt senare. Vår pågående forskning om hälsoeffekter av metaller i dricksvatten i ett fattigt landsbygdsområde i Bangladesh, som baseras på en grupp (kohort) om 1500 mammor och deras barn, utgör unika möjligheter att undersöka hur små barn kan påverkas av olika föroreningar i en risbaserad kost. Vi rekryterade kvinnorna i tidig graviditet och har följt upp barnen vad gäller tillväxt, beteende och kognitiv förmåga vid födseln, samt vid 1,5, 5 och 10 års ålder. Vi har dessutom detaljerad information om exponeringen (koncentrationer i blod, urin och vatten) för både giftiga och livsnödvändiga metaller och andra spårämnen i tidig och sen graviditeten, samt hos barnen vid 1,5, 5, och 10 års ålder. Från ett 60-tal av familjerna har vi även samlat in risprover. Eftersom ris är huvudsakliga basfödan i Bangladesh, och det är stor variation i näringsstatus hos de ofta fattiga människorna på landsbygden, ger detta projekt enastående möjligheter att studera exponeringen via ris och vilka faktorer som påverkar olika hälsoeffekter. För att klargöra vilka prover (blod, urin och hår) som lämpar sig bäst för att bedöma exponeringen kommer vi att analysera flertalet metaller och essentiella ämnen hos ca 200 av barnen. Vi ämnar att 1) beräkna intaget av metaller via ris, baserat på halterna i insamlade risprover (av olika typ och poleringsgrad) samt koncentrationerna i blod och urin hos barn, fr a de som har låga halter i sitt dricksvatten; 2) bedöma betydelsen av metallhalter i olika prover (blod, urin och hår) och vilka som bäst korrelerar med exponering; 3) undersöka om högre exponering via riset kan resultera i negativa effekter på barnens tillväxt och utveckling (beteende och kognitiv förmåga); samt 4) undersöka om undernärda barn eller de med speciell genetisk uppsättning är speciellt känsliga för metallerna. Så gott som alla data (koncentrationer i blod och urin samt vikt, längd och resultat från test av beteende och kognitiv förmåga) finns tillgängliga. Ytterligare analyser krävs för metallhalterna i delstudien som avser jämförelse av metallhalter i olika prover (urin, blod, hår och vatten). Det huvudsakliga arbetet innebär att statistiskt analysera metallhalter i olika grupper av barn (med olika halter i dricksvattnet, olika nutritionsstatus, flickor och pojkar i olika åldrar, samt olika uppsättningar av vissa gener som påverkar metallomsättningen i kroppen). Resultaten kommer att bli viktiga för den pågående riskbedömningen av giftiga metaller i barnmat som ska leda till nya och säkrare gränsvärden och rekommendationer.

Consequently, there is a great need for tools that help clinicians manage febrile children, particularly in resource-limited settings, so that treatments and antibiotic regimens may be guided. Infections of the central nervous system (CNS) are life-threatening and annually more than 1.2 million cases of bacterial meningitis occur worldwide. Many of these occur in Sub-Saharan African areas with little or no access to laboratory diagnostics and are therefore left undiagnosed and untreated, with fatal outcomes. There is therefore a great need for diagnostic methods that are applicable to low-income settings. OBJECTIVES Development and clinical evaluation of new rapid multiplexed microarray technologies that can be applied as Point-of-Care (POC) diagnostics of paediatric infections of the CNS, with a particular focus on low-income countries. METHODS Our partners at Science for Life Laboratory have through extensive research and development shown that paperbased microarray concepts might be applicable as rapid, affordable, durable, easy-to-use, reliable and highly multiplexed diagnostic methods suitable for POC analysis in low-income countries. Through the use of paperbased protein and DNA microarrays, various biofluids (blood, urine, cerebrospinal fluid, saliva, sputum and others.) can easily be analysed and semiquantitative measurements of different proteins and biomarkers can be presented within minutes. Levels of blood glucose or inflammatory markers such as CRP, concentrations of electrolytes or the presence of pathogens such as bacteria or viruses in biofluids, are examples of what could be visualised in a time- and resource efficient manner in a low-income setting. The project is a true translational research project where the Karolinska Institute team will work together with partners at Science for Life Laboratory and the Mbarara University of Science & Technology and Médecins Sans Frontières Epicentre. We will conduct clinical evaluation studies of these novel paperbased microarray concepts of POC. The studies will be conducted at Mbarara Hospital, in South-Western Uganda. PLANNED STUDIES A) Development and optimize performance of a) novel combined affinity proteomic assay and b) novel PCR/DNA microarray assay, both amenable for POC diagnostics of paediatric CNS infection in low- and middle-income countries. B) Evaluation of the new POC techniques by applying them on 273 previously collected samples from paediatric patients in Uganda with suspected CNS infections. C) Determining the diagnostic accuracy and study the clinical utility and usability of the new POC test on paediatric CNS infections in a prospective study on 300 children with suspected CNS infections in a hospital setting in South-Western Uganda. SIGNIFICANCE This project has the potential to significantly improve diagnostics and outcomes of various infectious diseases affecting children in low-income countries. Our highly multidisciplinary and international research team is dedicated to the continued development of the described multiplexed paper-based microarray concepts towards the deployment of a POC tool that tends to the actual needs and requirements of local health personnel in low-income countries. The success of this research project would be a proof a concept allowing further development of microarray techniques towards POC-testing of other medical conditions, and could assist in spreading the availability of good healthcare to the most vulnerable populations. Infektioner är den enskilt största orsaken till sjuklighet och dödlighet hos barn. I höginkomstländer gör god tillgång till sjukvård att behandlingskrävande infektioner upptäcks och behandlas i ett tidigt skede. I låginkomstländer däremot kan brist på näringsrik mat och rent dricksvatten, långa avstånd till (eller total avsaknad av) sjukvårdsinrättningar, otillräckliga vaccinationsprogram, och allmän resursbrist leda till att lindriga infektioner kan utvecklas till allvarliga. Små barn har svårt att förmedla sina besvär och ofta är feber enda tecknet till allvarlig sjukdom. För vårdspersonal kan feber hos ett spädbarn misstänkas bero på allt ifrån lindrig virusorsakad förkylning till livshotande bakteriell hjärnhinneinflammation (meningit) och särskiljandet mellan dessa två är svår trots tillgång till dyr och avancerad laboratorieutrustning. Än svårare är det utan tillgång till sådan utrustning. Nya billiga, lättanvända och träffsäkra diagnostiska metoder som stöd i avgörandet om huruvida feber hos barn står för något livshotande eller ej skulle kunna vara till stor nytta för vårdspersonal i låginkomstländer, med potential att förbättra överlevnaden av allvarliga barninfektioner. Vårt forskningsprojekt ämnar utvärdera en ny lovande snabbdiagnostisk metod framtagen på Science for Life Laboratory (SciLifeLab), med fokus på dess kliniska tillämpbarhet vid misstanke om meningit hos barn, samt dess användbarhet för vårdspersonal i Mbarara, Uganda. SciLifeLab har utvecklat ett koncept där det på små pappersbitar förtrycks hundratals millimeterstora prickar. Varje prick utgörs av tusentals antikroppar som endast kan binda upp ett specifikt ämne. En prick kan bestå av antikroppar mot blodsockermolekyler, grannpricken av antikroppar mot infektionsproteiner, osv. Förekomsten av ett ämne i den kroppsvätska (blod, snor, slem, urin, ryggmärgsvätska etc.) som analyseras med denna metod resulterar i att det binder till sina specifika antikroppar i pricken, varpå pricken ändrar nyans. Olika halter av ämnet ger olika nyanser av pricken. De hundratals prickarna kan samtidigt svara på halten av lika många ämnen i den analyserade vätskan. Tolkningen av det prickmönster som uppstår på de runda pappersbitarna görs av en vanlig smartphone där dess kamera gör en optisk avläsning varpå mönstret tolkas av en särskilt framtagen app. Inom minuter kan man på telefondisplayen avläsa innehållet i den analyserade kroppsvätskan. Genom att förbehandla analysmaterialet kan man även påvisa förekomsten av ev. mikroorganismer, såsom bakterier och virus.Analysmetoden kräver väldigt lite personalupplärning och nödvändig utrustning är billig. Tekniken bakom denna metod har länge funnits tillgänglig i graviditetstester, snabbtester för halsfluss och liknande. Där dessa tester hittills endast svarat på en eller ett fåtal frågeställningar (”Är jag gravid?”) kan metoden från SciLifeLab ge svar på många fler. Vi vill studera den praktiska tillämpningen och nyttan av denna metod i en klinisk omgivning där konventionell laboratorieutrustning är en bristvara. Tack vare ett samarbete med Mbarara Hospital och Läkare Utan Gränsers forskningslaboratorium i Mbarara, Uganda, har vi på ett tidigt stadium kunnat inhämta önskemål om egenskaper en idealisk POC-metod bör ha i fält. Utifrån dessa har vi i samråd beslutat att fokusera den första kliniska utvärderingen av metodens användbarhet på diagnostik av meningit. Bakteriell meningit drabbar årligen ca 1,2 miljoner barn och utan snabb behandling uppgår dödligheten till närmre 100 %. Symtom på meningit kan till en början vara diskreta och för att bekräfta en misstanke om meningit krävs insamling, analys och bakterieodling av den sjukes ryggmärgsvätska. Detta ställer idag krav på utbildad personal samt en viss infrastruktur för analys och odling av vätskan, något som inte kan tillgodoses i låginkomstområden som Mbarara.

This Atmospheric Brown Cloud (ABC), with BC as a key component, cause severe effects on both the regional climate and the quality of the air people breathe, yet the relative source contributions from e.g. biomass vs fossil fuel combustion are poorly constrained. Atmospheric BC from biomass vs fossil fuel combustion have different intrinsic impacts on climate and health; fossil-BC have stronger mass-normalized solar absorption efficiency and is smaller in size, thus able to penetrate further into the lungs. Hence, it is imperative to reduce uncertainties regarding BC sources and emissions. Unfortunately, bottom-up technology-based emission inventories (EI) – the common input for models of climate and air quality and a policy tool for mitigation decisions – has large uncertainties in BC sources and emissions, with predictions ranging by factors 3-5. This project will further develop and apply microscale 14C-dating of BC aerosols to provide powerful observation-based top-down information on the relative contribution from combustion of fossil fuel (extinct 14C) and biomass (contemporary 14C) to the BC in the actual atmosphere. Our initial month-long studies have demonstrated systematic underestimation in the fractional fossil contribution of all 8 BC-EI for India (Gustafsson et al., 2009 Science) and in all 12 BC-EI for China (Chen et al., incl Gustafsson, 2013). In collaboration with aerosol researchers in Bangladesh, one of the most polluted regions on Earth and the "exhaust pipe" of S Asia, we propose the first year-round 14C-BC source forensics assessment for S Asia. Building on recent Swe-Bangla pilot study, we propose 24-mo BC source apportionment campaigns in both highly-polluted megacity Dhaka and in rural southern Bangladesh at the newly established Bhola Observatory (now part of the international UNEP-ABC program set of receptor observatories). This site provides an opportunity to source fingerprint the load of BC that have accumulated through the Pakistan – N India – Bangladesh air transport; it thus provides an integrated perspective of sources to the BC influencing the larger-scale regional climate. The three objectives and approaches are: (1) 14C-based quantification of the relative contribution of biomass vs fossil fuel combustion to BC in megacity Dhaka and regional receptor site Bhola. Benefit: Pinning down the sources of BC aerosols in S Asia allows us to better understand its effects on climate, respiratory health and to guide policy options toward mitigation. (2) Assimilate a battery of diagnostic source markers (Δ14C, δ13C and pyrogenic molecules) to refine apportionment of multiple sources. Benefit: Statistical modeling of the generated source-diagnostic database with Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) simulations will yield an improved description of BC sources to the polluted air over Bangladesh between fossil-liquid, fossil-coal, biomass-woodfuel, biomass – crop residue burning. (3) Compare this top-down source apportionment of atmospheric BC with predictions from bottom-up BC emission inventories (EI) using a coupled EI-transport model (Eclipse-Flexpart). Benefit: Responding to a general plea of independent observation-based tests of BC-EI predictions, the composition-based source apportionment will contribute to diagnose the reliability of present EI and diagnose areas for improvement, to the benefit of climate and air quality models. The quantitative information on contributions from fossil vs biomass combustion sources, generated in close collaboration with a strong Bangladeshi aerosol group, will beyond high-impact research articles also be used to advise the Env Ministry of Bangladesh (and briefed to UNEP and Env Ministry of Sweden) to guide policy options toward BC mitigation. KOL-14 DATERING AVSLÖJAR KÄLLORNA TILL DET HÄLSO- OCH KLIMATPÅVERKANDE BRUNA MOLNET ÖVER BANGLADESH Sverige har tillsammans med Bangladesh och fyra andra strategiska partners bildat Climate and Clean Air Coalition (CCAC; som nu har över 60 medlemsländer), vilken har som syfte att verka för att minska utsläppen av kortlivade klimatpåverkande luftföroreningar (s.k. Short-Lived Climate Pollutants SLCP). Koalitionen inser att SLCP, framförallt Black Carbon (BC, sot) aerosoler från ofullständig förbränning, står för en betydande del av klimatförändringarna i nu och närtid och dessutom påverkar negativt folkhälsan, tillgången på färskvatten och matförsörjningen i stora befolkningstäta områden inte minst i södra Asien. Koalitionen efterfrågar studier för att förbättra det vetenskapliga underlaget kring SLCP, med ett fokus på information som kan underlätta effektiva åtgärder. Ett viktigt exempel på detta är kunskap om de relativa utsläppsbidragen från olika källor, vilket det föreslagna projektet syftar till. Ofullständig förbränning från många olika aktiviteter, såsom trafik, industrier, tegelbruk, vedeldning, öppna eldar och svedjebruk inom jordbruket bidrar till bildningen av BC/sot-innehållande Bruna Moln i atmosfären, som under vinterns torrperiod täcker Bangladesh och stora delar av södra Asien samt påverkar året runt både det regionala klimatet och luften som folk andas. Dessvärre försvåras åtgärder för att minska utsläppen av ett betydande kunskapsglapp kring de relativa bidragen till den smutsiga luften från de olika utsläppskällorna. Vilka slags källor är viktigast? På grund av de regionala vindmönstrena så drabbas Bangladesh oproportionerligt hårt av utsläppen av luftföroreningar genom gränsöverskridande transport från Indien utöver de betydande inhemska utsläppen. Detta leder till ett tjockt brunt moln eller smog av luftföroreningar över Bangladesh som till slut lämnar subkontinenten och från södra Bangladesh blåser ut över Bengaliska Viken. Vi föreslår ett samarbetsprogram med skickliga aerosolforskare i Bangladesh. Tillsammans kan vi vidareutveckla våra framgångsrika pilotkampanjer som demonstrerat kapaciteten i mikroskala kol-14 dateringar av aerosoler för att kvantitativt bestämma de relativa bidragen av sot/BC partiklar i det Bruna Molnet mellan biomassa/biobränsle (kol-14 levande) och fossila bränslen (kol-14 utdött). Detta svensk-bangladeshiska forskningssamarbete skulle leverera information om källorna till BC/sotpartiklar i ett stort och viktigt område/land, ett efterfrågat beslutsstöd för minskningsåtgärder, och samtidigt ge grundläggande vetenskaplig information av avsevärd betydelse för förbättrad förståelse av hur BC/sot från olika källor påverkar klimatet. De stora luftprover som behövs för kol-14 analyserna skulle filtreras under 24-månaderskampanjer på två atmosfärsstationer som framgångsrikt etablerats under ledning av våra bangladeshiska kollegor: en urban station i megacity Dhaka och det andra det nybyggda atmosfärsobservatoriet på Bhola Island, strategiskt beläget i ett glest befolkat område vid utflödet från södra Asien. De bangladeshiska luftföroreningarna kommer alltså undersökas med ny teknik som utvecklats i Sverige och nu finner en viktig tillämpning i Bangladesh kring S Asiens Bruna Moln. Kvantitativ källbestämning av BC/sotpartiklar kommer publiceras i vetenskapliga tidskrifter med hög genomslagsfaktor. Den centrala informationen om den relativa vikten av fossila vs biomassakällor är ett direkt beslutsstöd som kommer kommuniceras till beslutsfattare för att underlätta prioriteringarna av olika insatser för att minska utsläppen av de hälso- och klimatpåverkande luftföroreningarna.

Our central server receives the virtual slides and allows the biological samples to be remotely analyzed by automated computer vision or visually assessed by a human observer. A proof-of-concept study supported by the Swedish Research Council has been conducted in 2014-2015 and shown the method to be feasible. We now plan to implement the novel multipurpose diagnostic platform in two settings in Tanzania: 1) As a diagnostic method for detection of malaria in blood samples obtained from patients presenting with fever at the primary health care level and 2) as a diagnostic and monitoring method for detection of soil-transmitted helminthes and schistosomiasis in stool and urine obtained from schoolchildren within a transmission surveillance survey. Captured digital images of the specimens are transferred to the central server to detect malaria parasites in blood smears, and helminth eggs in stool and urine, and to return the results to the technician in the field. The point-of-care study will be carried out in the Bagamoyo District and the transmission surveillance study in the Masasi/Muheza District in Tanzania in collaboration with Muhimbili University of Health and Allied Sciences (MUHAS). The study will include a comparison with conventional microscopy with regard to diagnostic accuracy (sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive value), an evaluation of usability, interpretability and assessment of time to achieve diagnosis. The project advances the field by bringing a powerful, multiplexed diagnostic tool from the laboratory to the point-of-care. The instruments are constructed out of components of mobile phones, make use of the expanding mobile networks and allow remote image processing in a highly scalable cloud computing environment. Previous mobile microscopy projects have been limited with regard to the sample area that can be captured, whereas the technology to be tested in the current project can digitally scan an entire microscopy slide. The method will aid in the combat of infectious diseases at the point-of-care level of health care and has the potential to improve access to diagnostics, enable task-shifting and shorten the time to diagnosis. Vår forskargrupp har utvecklat en miniatyrmikroskop-skanner som både tar bilder av provet, sänder dem till en centraldator och kan ta emot resultat gällande diagnostiska fynd. Snabb överföring av data via mobila nätverk möjliggör bildöverföring från det mobila miniatyrmikroskopet till en centraldator som kan utföra sofistikerad bildanalys av provet eller analyseras visuellt av t.ex. en laboratorieanalytiker i en patientnära situation. Vår nyligen verkställda kliniska utvärderingsstudie visade att metoden är genomförbar och nu ämnar vi utföra kliniska fältstudier med det nya diagnostiska systemet i två patientgrupper i Tanzania, 1: som en diagnostisk metod för att upptäcka malaria i blodprov hos feberpatienter vid en lokal vårdscentral och 2: som en diagnostisk- och monitoreringsmetod för jord-överförbara tarmparasiter i avföringsprov samt schistosomiasis i avförings-och urinprov hos skolbarn inom en infektionsbevaknings-undersökning. Både malaria och jord-överförbara maskar har en betydande negativ påverkan på individens hälsa i resursfattiga områden. Bilderna tagna av patientproverna med minatyrmikroskopet överförs till en centraldator där malariaparasiter från blodutsryk och maskägg i avförings- och urinproven detekteras med moderna bildanalysmetoder och resultatet skickas tillbaka till personen som handhar diagnostiken vid vårdscentralen. Denna studie för patientnära diagnostik kommer att utföras på landsbygden i Tanzania i samarbete med Muhimbili universitetet. Inom studien kommer vi att jämföra det nya diagnostiska systemet med traditionell mikroskopi bl.a. gällande diagnostisk träffsäkerhet, användarvänlighet, och tolkning av resultaten.

Efavirenz (EFV) is approved recently by US-FDA and WHO as part of first line combination ART for HIV infected children >3 years of age. Based on results from few clinical studies, the US-FDA approved the use of EFV in infant and children aged ≥3 months weighing >3.5 kg. Due to lack of efficacy, safety and pharmacokinetic data WHO continues to limit the use of EFV in children under <3 years of age. The current body weight-based EFV dose recommended (FDA and WHO) to treat HIV in infant and children is scaled-down prediction from population pharmacokinetic modeling of data obtained from adult subjects treated with the standard maximum EFV dose. Biochemical and physiological processes between children and adults such as metabolism are disproportionate to their body weight differences. Although adult data is helpful to decide a first-in-children dose to initiate a safety, efficacy and PK study, the appropriate way to determine pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic parameters in children for a given age group is to conduct a dose optimization studies in specific age groups. Our extensive EFV dose optimization studies in Sub Saharan Africa patients indicate the importance of pharmacogenetic variations for efavirenz plasma exposure and treatment outcome. Based on population PK modeling of observational data, we demonstrated that standard 600 mg daily adult dose is unnecessarily high and recommended a dose reduction to 400 mg daily for adults in black African populations, which is confirmed by recent randomized clinical trials. In the present study we aim to perform a similar EFV dose optimization study specific for pediatrics population in Africa. EFV crosses the blood brain barrier and high plasma EFV concentration is associated with CNS toxicity, which may result in untoward effect for the developing child brain. We hypothesize that with the current recommended EFV dose, the risk of under- or overdosing of EFV is eminent among black African children who exhibit significant nutritional, comorbidity and host-genetic diversity from populations where pharmacokinetic and safety studies are performed and data extrapolated with “one-dose-fit-all” principle. We aim to identify safe and effective efavirenz dosage recommendations specific for pediatric use to treat HIV infected infants and children in Sub Saharan Africa. A three-phase extensive efavirenz pharmacokinetics, pharmacogenetics and pharmacodynamics based EFV dose optimization study will be conducted in HIV and HIV-TB co-infected infant and children from two genetically diverse African populations (Uganda and Ethiopia) during 2016 – 2020. First (Phase-1): observational study will be conducted to evaluate EFV plasma exposure, safety (skin rash, liver and CNS toxicity) and efficacy (immunologic and virological outcomes) of EFV based ART using the current EFV dose approved by FDA (< 3 years of age) and WHO (> 3 years of age) treatment guidelines. Patients will be enrolled prospectively and followed for one year. Application and feasibility of bedside genotype testing for patient care to aid EFV dose adjustment in HIV pediatric clinic will be developed and evaluated. Secondly (Phase-2): Population pharmacokinetic, pharmacogenetic and pharmacodynamics modeling and simulation of the data we will be performed to identify the normal efavirenz therapeutic range and optimal predictive EFV dose recommendation for the various age group. Thirdly (Phase-3): In a randomized clinical trial, we will evaluate the safety and efficacy of the predicted optimal EFV dose and compare it against the current FDA/WHO approved EFV dose recommendations. The study, to be conducted through a well-established multidisciplinary collaboration, will provide evidence-based recommendation for policy makers to develop safe and effective HIV treatment guidelines for the most vulnerable pediatric population in HIV-infektion är ett globalt problem. Mer än 90% av av 1.5 miljoner HIV-infekterade gravida kvinnor och 90% av 3,3 miljoner hivinfekterade barn i världen bor i Afrika söder om Sahara. Hiv behandlas idag med flera samtidigt givna läkemedel i form av kombinationsbehandling. t WHO beräknar att endast en tredjedel av alla hiv-positiva barn som behöver behandling får sådanjämfört med 2 av 3 vuxna. Behandlingen är mer komplicerad hos barn och kräver tätare förändringar. Efavirenz är godkänt av WHO i kombination med andra läkemedel mot HIV för av HIV-1-infektion hos vuxna och barn äldre än tre år. USA-FDA har godkänt användningen av EFV i spädbarn och barn i åldern ≥3 månader som väger> 3,5 kg. På grund av avsaknad av uppgifter om effekt, säkerhet och läkemedels omsättning rekommenderar WHO fortsatt begränsad användning av efavirenz hos barn under <3 år. Erfarenhet från behandling av barn är begränsad och doseringsrekommendationer byggerpå extrapolering från resultat av studier hos vuxna behandlade med högsta standarddos av efavirenz för vuxna. Men biokemiska och fysiologiska processer mellan barn och vuxna med ämnesomsättning är oproportionerligt högre förhållande till sin kroppsvikt jämfört med vuxna. Data från vuxna kan dock användas för att beräkna en rimlig dos för att initiera en klinisk dosoptimerande studie för olika åldrar av barn. Det finns etablerat samband mellan viruseffekt vid HIV liksom biverkningsrisk och koncentrationen av efavirenz i blod vid kombinationsbheanling hos vuxna. Information saknas om hur sambandet mellan koncentration i blod hos barn med HIV och behandling med efavirenz i SSA. Den begränsade informationen om hur efavirenz omsätts hos HIV-infekterade barn antyder att den nuvarande rekommenderade dosen av efavirenz inte är optimal och kräver fördjupade studier för att nå bästa behandlingsresultat. Tidigare dosptimerings studier hos vuxna HIV-patienter från Afrika (Etiopien, Tanzania och Uganda) visade att omsättningen av efavirenz är långsamma hos den svarta befolkningen genom ärftligt inflytande. Denna studien är en liknande dosoptimeringsstudie men hos olika åldergrupper av barn. Biverkningsmönstret för efavirenz domineras av hudutslag, centralnervösa symptom och påverkat enzymmönster i levern. Framför allt de centralnvervösa koncentrationsberoende biverkningarna är besvärande och kan försvåra barns skolarbete. Vår hypotes är att den nuvarande rekommenderad dosen av efavirenz ger betydande risk för under- eller överdosering av efavirenz bland svarta afrikanska barn som har helt andra mönster av gener än andra befolkningar där både läkemedlets omsättning och säkerhet har studerats. Det räcker alltså inte att använda denna information utifrån idén " en-dos-för alla”. Det har studie syftar att identifiera säkra och effektiva efavirenz doseringsrekommendationer för att behandla HIV-infekterade spädbarn och barn i två genetiskt skilda afrikanska befolkningsgrupper (Uganda och Etiopien) under 2016-2020.

The fundamental problem is that there is little systematic evidence in academia and in policy about “what works” and “why” in the external promotion of regional organizations in Africa. In answering this general question the research project focuses on the following three subsidiary research questions: 1. What explains the implementation gap in African regional organizations, and what are the implications for external support? 2. What explains the great variation in the donor community of regional funding strategies and aid delivery channels? 3. Under what conditions do different regional funding strategies and aid delivery channels impact favourably on development and poverty reduction? The project combines a comparative case study focus on three policy fields (regional economic integration, infrastructure, and transboundary water management) with a comparative focus on three multilateral donors and three bilateral donors in each policy field. The final selection of regional organizations and donors for the comparative case studies will be determined after the first-step quantitative analyses. As a whole, the project combines qualitative and quantitative methods and sources of information in creative ways. Field work will be conducted in regional organizations; donor HQs and field offices in Africa. Många biståndsgivare har investerat enorma resurser i att bygga upp statsledda regional organisationer i Afrika, såsom AU, SADC, ECOWAS, EAC, IGAD, COMESA. Det stora problemet är att det saknas robusta vetenskapliga belägg för ‘vad som fungerar’ och ‘varför’ vad gäller externt stöd och bistånd till regionala organisationer i Afrika. Inom ramen för en jämförande fallstudiedesign syftar detta projekt till att förklara hur givarnas olika finansieringskanaler påverkar implementering såväl som effekter för utveckling och fattigdomsbekämpning. Ett urval av multilaterala och bilaterala biståndsgivare kommer analyseras och jämföras i tre policyområden: regional ekonomisk integration, infrastruktur, och gränsöverskridande vattenhantering.

The final selection of regional organizations and donors for the comparative case studies will be determined after the first-step quantitative analyses. As a whole, the project combines qualitative and quantitative methods and sources of information in creative ways. Field work will be conducted in regional organizations; donor HQs and field offices in Africa. Många biståndsgivare har investerat enorma resurser i att bygga upp statsledda regional organisationer i Afrika, såsom AU, SADC, ECOWAS, EAC, IGAD, COMESA. Det stora problemet är att det saknas robusta vetenskapliga belägg för ‘vad som fungerar’ och ‘varför’ vad gäller externt stöd och bistånd till regionala organisationer i Afrika. Inom ramen för en jämförande fallstudiedesign syftar detta projekt till att förklara hur givarnas olika finansieringskanaler påverkar implementering såväl som effekter för utveckling och fattigdomsbekämpning. Ett urval av multilaterala och bilaterala biståndsgivare kommer analyseras och jämföras i tre policyområden: regional ekonomisk integration, infrastruktur, och gränsöverskridande vattenhantering. Projektet kombinerar kvalitativa och kvantitativa metoder, och fältarbete kommer utföras både inom biståndsorganisationer och afrikanska regionala organisationer.

It does so by tackling a question identified by the recent IPCC report as a crucial question, what produces conflict and violence in the face of environmental change? The proposed research therefore begins from the insight that environmental governance policies and programs are often a platform on which actors struggle over discourses, authority and responsibilities. More scientific scrutiny is required into how such struggles within policies and programs can erupt as flash points for conflict and violence, or alternatively, can open up pathways towards peace and reduced vulnerability. Drawing from the social sciences the program explores how climate change is linked to perceptions of and responses to those changes. The work focuses on changes in forest and water resources in 2 countries: Nepal and Kenya. The objectives are: 1. To better conceptualise the social-political processes through which changing forest and water resources become enrolled in crises of legitimacy, conflict and violence. To produce empirical evidence of how global environmental change manifests social-politically within two carefully selected countries on two continents: Asia (Nepal) and Africa (Kenya). 3. To generate insights into how governance mechanisms can be better designed to address environmental conflict and violence concerns in least developed countries. The outcome will be a concrete evaluation of how conflict and environmental change together create new vulnerabilities and points of empowerment for people and polities. Konflikter och våld förorsakade av klimatförändringar har sina rötter i sociala och politiska processer som endast är indirekt relaterade till miljöförändring. Framför allt finns det ett akut behov av mer forskning om hur resursstyrning – utformad för att minska det globala samhällets sårbarhet för miljöförändringar – själv är en potentiell krutdurk för politisk instabilitet och våld. Syftet med detta fyraåriga forskningsprogram är att öka kunskapen om hur klimatförändringar orsakar legitimitetskriser, konflikt och våld i styrningen av skogs- och vattenresurser. Arbetet bidrar således till att försäkra att nuvarande riktlinjer och program för att möta klimatförändringar inte förvärrar konflikter och sårbarhet. Kärnfrågan som ställs är, vad förorsakar konflikt och våld i ljuset av miljöförändringar? Forskningsprogrammet motiveras av en djup oro över den snabba förändring som vi bevittnar i dag. Programmet syftar till att undersöka hur komplexa sociala processer är sammanlänkade med miljöförändringar, och till att förstå hur vi kan utveckla politiska mekanismer för att hantera dem. För att uppnå detta undersöks hur miljöförändringar kan orsaka legitimitetskriser i styrprogram som ämnar motverka sårbarhet och klimatförändringar. Hur klimatförändringar förstås globalt formar våra åtgärder och beteenden gentemot dessa avsevärt. Forskningsresultaten kommer att generera nya insikter i hur konsekvenserna av miljöförändring kan hanteras. Programmet har tre huvudsakliga mål: 1.) Att förstå hur sociala och politiska processer relaterade till förändrade skogs- och vattenresurser blir invecklade i konflikter och våld. 2.) Att producera konkreta underlag för hur global miljöförändring förstås inom ”bräckliga” styrelseformer på två kontinenter: Asien (Nepal) och Afrika (Kenya). 3.)

It has been hypothesised that many tropical species have a narrow thermal niche and operate close to a thermal limit above which they experience declines in function or fitness. However, there is currently little data available to either support or refute this hypothesis. The present project aims to reduce this knowledge gap for tropical montane trees, with the overall purpose of assessing the sensitivity of physiology, growth and competitiveness of tropical montane trees to increased temperature. Multispecies plantations (common gardens) will be established along an elevation gradient in Rwanda, where a step down the gradient represents a possible future warming scenario. Pioneer and climax species from the high and mid elevation sites will be planted at all three locations, allowing for assessments of how both Afromontane rainforest (high elevation) and transitional rainforest (mid elevation) respond to climate warming. Since other environmental factors than temperature co-vary with elevation, the common gardens will include experimental manipulations of water and nutrient availability, with fertilization mitigating site differences in fertility and water being added or diverted depending on the location. By mixing trees of different thermal niches and successional strategies within the common gardens, the study can explore potential impacts of climate change on tree community composition. The investigated responses of the trees range from molecular level and leaf physiology to tree growth and community level interspecific competition. Molecular methods include determination of thylakoid membrane lipid composition, primary metabolites and transcriptional profiling by next generation sequencing. Physiological and tree growth responses are investigated by leaf gas exchange measurements and methodsfor determining biomass of different tree organs. Data will be analysed using analysis of variance. The research team includes participants at the University of Gothenburg (UG), the University of Rwanda (UR) and Rwanda Agriculture Board (RAB). Researchers at UG has the overall responsibility for co-ordination of the project, while researchers at UG and UR together supervise the PhD student and field assistant at UR, as well as BSc/MSc students from both universities conducting field research in the project. RAB owns the research stations and have basic lab and technical facilities and staff for maintenance. Year 1 of the project will be used to set up the common gardens at the three sites along the elevation gradient. The actual experiment and the response measurements will be conducted during year 2-5, with main focus on molecular and physiological responses in the early part and responses of growth and inter-specific competition during the later part. The scientific significance and novelty of the present project is the way that it addresses central hypotheses and knowledge gaps in global change biology by combining a unique experimental design with response measurements ranging from molecular mechanisms to community level competition. This experimental design allows us to assess not only how different species respond and acclimate to temperature, but also how interspecific variation in these responses affect tree community composition in a warmer climate. Furthermore, the broad range of response measurements allow for mechanistic understanding of the observed ecological responses. This combination of experimental approaches is novel and offers the potential to generate important new insights into the mechanisms controlling tree and forest responses to global warming.

Trots det vet vi förhållandevis lite om dessa ekosystem. Till exempel är det mycket osäkert hur de kommer att påverkas av den pågående globala uppvärmningen. Det övergripande syftet med vårt projekt är att minska denna kunskapslucka. Några specifika frågor som intresserar oss är: Är tropiska trädarter nära en övre temperaturgräns ovanför vilken deras funktion, tillväxt och konkurrenskraft försvagas? Kan arterna acklimatisera sig till den globala uppvärmningen? Är olika artgrupper olika känsliga? Hur kommer morgondagens tropiska regnskogar att se ut? I det här projektet studerar vi regnskog som växer på bergen i tropiska skogsområden i Rwanda, Afrika, för att se hur deras funktion, tillväxt och konkurrensförmåga påverkas när de utsätts för högre temperatur. Vi kommer att plantera tropiska trädarter på tre olika platser längs en höjdgradient, där temperaturen sjunker med ökad höjd. Ett steg nedåt längs gradienten representerar ett troligt framtida klimatscenarium (global uppvärmning). Det finns även skillnader i markegenskaper och nederbördsmängd mellan de tre olika platserna, vilka vi kompenserar för med hjälp av vattenavledning, bevattning och gödsling. På alla platser kommer vi att plantera både så kallade pionjärarter (arter som snabbt kan kolonisera nya områden) och klimaxarter (arter som dominerar i skogar utan störningar) som naturligt förekommer i de två översta områdena av höjdgradienten. På så sätt kan vi undersöka konkurrensen mellan arterna och se ifall pionjärarter är mindre känsliga än klimaxarter och ifall arter från lägre höjd tar över vid högre temperatur. Temperaturens påverkan på träden kommer att studeras från molekylär nivå till effekter på blandens fotosyntes (där ljusenergi omvandlas till kolhydrater), trädens tillväxt, och skogsbeståndens artsammansättning. För att förstå de storskaliga ekologiska effekterna behövs kunskap om de underliggande mekanismer som styr dessa. Ett träds förmåga att anpassa sig till uppvärmning beror till stor del på i vilken utstäckning det kan acklimatisera sina fysiologiska (inre) processer och funktioner till högre temperatur Vi kommer därför att undersöka om fotosyntesens temperaturkänslighet kan acklimatisera sig till höjd temperatur, så att värmekänsligheten är lägre hos en individ som vuxit upp i ett varmare klimat. En mekanism som är särskilt viktig för en sådan anpassningsförmåga är membranens möjlighet att ändra sin fettsyresammansättning. Projektet är ett samarbete mellan Göteborgs Universitet, University of Rwanda och Rwanda Agriculture Board som sedan flera år har ett samarbete inom skogsforskning, där även lärarutbyte och handledning av doktorander och studenter ingår. Projektet kommer att belysa ett framtidsscenario för afrikanska bergsregnskogar i och med den globala uppvärmningen. Det kommer att ta fram ny kunskap om olika tropiska trädarters temperaturkänslighet och dessutom undersöka konsekvenserna för artsammansättningen i ett framtida klimat. Ett annat viktigt mål för projektet är att fortsätta bygga upp kompetensen inom skogsforskning i Rwanda, vilket gynnar forskningsbaserad och långsiktig klimatanpassning i ett fattigt land i Afrika.

The present project aims to reduce this knowledge gap for tropical montane trees, with the overall purpose of assessing the sensitivity of physiology, growth and competitiveness of tropical montane trees to increased temperature. Multispecies plantations (common gardens) will be established along an elevation gradient in Rwanda, where a step down the gradient represents a possible future warming scenario. Pioneer and climax species from the high and mid elevation sites will be planted at all three locations, allowing for assessments of how both Afromontane rainforest (high elevation) and transitional rainforest (mid elevation) respond to climate warming. Since other environmental factors than temperature co-vary with elevation, the common gardens will include experimental manipulations of water and nutrient availability, with fertilization mitigating site differences in fertility and water being added or diverted depending on the location. By mixing trees of different thermal niches and successional strategies within the common gardens, the study can explore potential impacts of climate change on tree community composition. The investigated responses of the trees range from molecular level and leaf physiology to tree growth and community level interspecific competition. Molecular methods include determination of thylakoid membrane lipid composition, primary metabolites and transcriptional profiling by next generation sequencing. Physiological and tree growth responses are investigated by leaf gas exchange measurements and methodsfor determining biomass of different tree organs. Data will be analysed using analysis of variance. The research team includes participants at the University of Gothenburg (UG), the University of Rwanda (UR) and Rwanda Agriculture Board (RAB). Researchers at UG has the overall responsibility for co-ordination of the project, while researchers at UG and UR together supervise the PhD student and field assistant at UR, as well as BSc/MSc students from both universities conducting field research in the project. RAB owns the research stations and have basic lab and technical facilities and staff for maintenance. Year 1 of the project will be used to set up the common gardens at the three sites along the elevation gradient. The actual experiment and the response measurements will be conducted during year 2-5, with main focus on molecular and physiological responses in the early part and responses of growth and inter-specific competition during the later part. The scientific significance and novelty of the present project is the way that it addresses central hypotheses and knowledge gaps in global change biology by combining a unique experimental design with response measurements ranging from molecular mechanisms to community level competition. This experimental design allows us to assess not only how different species respond and acclimate to temperature, but also how interspecific variation in these responses affect tree community composition in a warmer climate. Furthermore, the broad range of response measurements allow for mechanistic understanding of the observed ecological responses. This combination of experimental approaches is novel and offers the potential to generate important new insights into the mechanisms controlling tree and forest responses to global warming.

Det övergripande syftet med vårt projekt är att minska denna kunskapslucka. Några specifika frågor som intresserar oss är: Är tropiska trädarter nära en övre temperaturgräns ovanför vilken deras funktion, tillväxt och konkurrenskraft försvagas? Kan arterna acklimatisera sig till den globala uppvärmningen? Är olika artgrupper olika känsliga? Hur kommer morgondagens tropiska regnskogar att se ut? I det här projektet studerar vi regnskog som växer på bergen i tropiska skogsområden i Rwanda, Afrika, för att se hur deras funktion, tillväxt och konkurrensförmåga påverkas när de utsätts för högre temperatur. Vi kommer att plantera tropiska trädarter på tre olika platser längs en höjdgradient, där temperaturen sjunker med ökad höjd. Ett steg nedåt längs gradienten representerar ett troligt framtida klimatscenarium (global uppvärmning). Det finns även skillnader i markegenskaper och nederbördsmängd mellan de tre olika platserna, vilka vi kompenserar för med hjälp av vattenavledning, bevattning och gödsling. På alla platser kommer vi att plantera både så kallade pionjärarter (arter som snabbt kan kolonisera nya områden) och klimaxarter (arter som dominerar i skogar utan störningar) som naturligt förekommer i de två översta områdena av höjdgradienten. På så sätt kan vi undersöka konkurrensen mellan arterna och se ifall pionjärarter är mindre känsliga än klimaxarter och ifall arter från lägre höjd tar över vid högre temperatur. Temperaturens påverkan på träden kommer att studeras från molekylär nivå till effekter på blandens fotosyntes (där ljusenergi omvandlas till kolhydrater), trädens tillväxt, och skogsbeståndens artsammansättning. För att förstå de storskaliga ekologiska effekterna behövs kunskap om de underliggande mekanismer som styr dessa. Ett träds förmåga att anpassa sig till uppvärmning beror till stor del på i vilken utstäckning det kan acklimatisera sina fysiologiska (inre) processer och funktioner till högre temperatur Vi kommer därför att undersöka om fotosyntesens temperaturkänslighet kan acklimatisera sig till höjd temperatur, så att värmekänsligheten är lägre hos en individ som vuxit upp i ett varmare klimat. En mekanism som är särskilt viktig för en sådan anpassningsförmåga är membranens möjlighet att ändra sin fettsyresammansättning. Projektet är ett samarbete mellan Göteborgs Universitet, University of Rwanda och Rwanda Agriculture Board som sedan flera år har ett samarbete inom skogsforskning, där även lärarutbyte och handledning av doktorander och studenter ingår. Projektet kommer att belysa ett framtidsscenario för afrikanska bergsregnskogar i och med den globala uppvärmningen. Det kommer att ta fram ny kunskap om olika tropiska trädarters temperaturkänslighet och dessutom undersöka konsekvenserna för artsammansättningen i ett framtida klimat. Ett annat viktigt mål för projektet är att fortsätta bygga upp kompetensen inom skogsforskning i Rwanda, vilket gynnar forskningsbaserad och långsiktig klimatanpassning i ett fattigt land i Afrika.

We will particularly address the occurrence and removal of micro-pollutants in the wastewater, by use of two different removal methodologies; (i) barrier-enhanced small-scale decentralized wastewater treatment systems (so called DEWATS), and (ii) soil amendments applied on top of the soil or mixed with the top layer of soil. In both methodologies biochar produced from local crop residues will be used as adsorbent material to capture and immobilize pollutants present in the wastewater. This research is of high relevance to a large number of the world´s least developed countries suffering from water scarcity, particularly in Africa. As study objects in this project we have selected Tanzania and Morocco, which represents two African countries with high water stress, but with different geographical/topographical conditions. The main objective is to demonstrate the function of biochar produced from carbonization of low-cost and locally available crop residues as adsorbent material in an established water purification set-up, such as the DEWATS plant. We will also explore the potential for application directly on soil for on-site capture and immobilisation of pollutants in wastewater used for agricultural irrigation. Both approaches will demand a detailed characterization of the biochar adsorbent and an evaluation of their adsorption behavior. Finally, we will study optimization of the biochar adsorbents by use of additives (pottery sherds and charcoal ash). The goal in a longer perspective is to aid in providing a sustainable solution which promotes human health as well as environmental protection. The specific goals are to investigate: i) the removal efficiency of different biochars with regard to the most common pollutants; ii) how the material composition and material properties of the crop residues affect the adsorption capacity of the resulting biochar; iii) how the adsorption capacity may be improved by use of additives; and iv) how the choice of removal methodology affects the removal efficiency of the studied pollutants. The project will be conducted during a period of three years by researchers at Umeå University (Sweden) and United Nations Environmental Programme (UNEP), and by local collaboration partners in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, and Rabat, Morocco. Detta forskningsprojekt kommer att studera förekomst och avskiljning av föroreningar i avloppsvatten för att möjliggöra användning av detta vatten i jordbruket i länder med vattenbrist. Vi kommer särskilt att titta på två olika avskiljningsmetoder; (i) småskaliga decentraliserade avloppsreningssystem (så kallade DEWATS), och (ii) jordförbättringsmedel som appliceras ovanpå jorden eller blandas med det översta lagret av jord. I båda dessa metoder kommer vi att använda biokol producerad från lokalt tillgängliga jordbruksrester som adsorbent för att fånga upp och immobilisera föroreningarna i avloppsvattnet. Denna forskning är viktig för att förebygga miljö- och hälsorelaterade risker i samband med användning av avloppsvatten för bevattning i länder med vattenbrist, särskilt för många av världens minst utvecklade länder. Som studieobjekt i detta projekt har vi valt Tanzania och Marocko, som båda har hög vattenstress men olika geografiska/topografiska förhållanden och typer av jordbruk. Det huvudsakliga syftet med detta projekt är att utvärdera funktionen av biokol som adsorberande material, dels i en DEWATS anläggning och dels om det appliceras direkt på jorden för att sedan adsorbera föroreningar i avloppsvatten som används för bevattning av jordbruksmarken. Båda metoderna kommer att kräva en detaljerad karakterisering av biokolsadsorbenten och en utvärdering av adsorbentens kapacitet. Slutligen kommer vi att studera optimering av biokolsadsorbenten genom att sätta till additiv till biokolet (krukskärvor och träkolsaska). Målet med projektet är i ett längre perspektiv att bidra till en hållbar lösning som främjar människors hälsa samt skyddar miljön. De specifika målen är att undersöka: • reningseffektiviteten hos olika biokol med avseende på de vanligaste föroreningarna i avloppsvatten (metaller och andra oorganiska föreningar, samt organiska föreningar) • hur materialsammansättning och materialegenskaper hos jordbruksresterna påverkar adsorptionskapaciteten hos det resulterande biokolet • hur biokolet kan förbättras genom tillsats av additiv, för att öka adsorptionskapaciteten • hur val av avskiljningsmetod påverkar reningseffektiviteten med avseende på de studerade föroreningarna. Människors hälsa är nära kopplat till miljö. I en rapport från United Nations Environment Programme, UNEP, konstaterar man att 28% av Afrikas sjukdomsbörda är ett resultat av miljöfaktorer, såsom förorenat vatten och luftföroreningar. Detta forskningsprojekt är av hög relevans för ett stort antal av världens minst utvecklade länder, eftersom det rör ett allvarligt hot mot människors hälsa och mot vår miljö: vattenbrist. Vattenbrist drabbar varje kontinent och nästan en femtedel av världens befolkning bor i områden med fysisk brist. 2,6 miljarder människor saknar tillgång till adekvata avlopp, och enligt United Nations Development Programme, UNDP, dör varje år cirka 1,8 miljoner barn till följd av sjukdomar orsakade av orent vatten och dålig sanitet. När det gäller vatten som används för bevattning av jordbruksmark så har det visats att föroreningar i detta vatten, exempelvis avloppsvatten, kan tas upp av grödorna, och på så vis överföras till människan. Projektet kommer också att beröra frågan om avskogning. I projektet kommer vi att endast använda oss av biokol som framställts av jordbruksrester istället för, som den dominerande kolframställningen idag i Tanzania och andra afrikanska länder, avverka skog för att få ved till kolproduktion. Avskogning påverkar enligt UNEP även spridningen av sjukdomar som exempelvis malaria, eftersom myggorna lättare förökar sig när solljus, temperatur, och ytvattentillgänglighet ökar.

A major contributor to low productivity appears to be under investment in productive capital, such as quality tools, fertilizer and land improvements. A leading explanation is that poor farmers are ‘credit constrained,’ meaning that they simply cannot access sufficient cash to make the necessary investments. Policymakers frequently therefore subsidize such inputs, yet it is far from clear whether such subsidies are effective at putting resources in the hands of the right farmers. Subsidies may enable skilled but poor farmers to increase their usage of productive capital, but they may simply subsidize farmers who would have invested anyway, or even lead unskilled farmers to inefficiently take up the now artificially cheap capital. We propose a randomized controlled trial in Uganda, in partnership with the large, global NGO, BRAC, to study these issues. The study will provide small-scale farmers with access to agricultural capital at varying subsidy levels, combined with a) careful measurement of farmers’ willingness to pay for capital, and b) a randomized cash transfer program to study the effect of easing farmers’ credit constraints. Our experiment is designed to generate high-quality experimental evidence on farmers’ returns to capital (evidence which is presently scarce) which will enable us to explore to what extent there are indeed high potential returns that farmers are missing out on. Our experiment also enables us to study in detail how two leading policies, price subsidies and cash transfers, affect capital investment and productivity. This will enable us to offer precise and well informed policy recommendations. Our work will contribute to two important recent literatures in development economics. The first studies the return to investment in small scale enterprises in developing countries, typically finding high unexploited potential returns to capital. The second seeks to understand the ideal pricing policies for distributing development programs, so far mostly considering health products such as anti-mosquito bednets. We will provide new evidence from agriculture, complementing the existing work. We also make an important methodological contribution, combining and improving on existing experimental designs to provide rich new information to policymakers trying to maximize the impact of scarce public resources. I mindre utvecklade samhällen så sysselsätter jordbruket en stor andel av arbetskraften och har ansvaret för en avsevärd andel av produktionen, men kännetecknas typiskt av låg produktivitet. En avsevärd bidragande orsak till den låga produktiviteten verkar vara för låga investeringar i produktionskapital, så som kvalitetsverktyg, gödningsmedel och markförbättringar. En mycket viktig förklaring är att fattiga lantbrukare har ‘kreditbegränsningar’, vilket innebär att de helt enkelt inte har tillgång till tillräckligt med kontanter för att göra de nödvändiga investeringarna. Beslutsfattarna subventionerar därför ofta sådana insatsvaror, men det är långt ifrån uppenbart huruvida sådana subventioner är effektiva när det gäller att lägga resurser i händerna på rätt lantbrukare. Subventioner kan göra det möjligt för skickliga men fattiga lantbrukare att ökar sin användning av produktionskapital, men de kan även helt enkelt subventionera lantbrukare som skulle ha investerat i vilket fall, eller till och med förmå lågutbildade lantbrukare att på ett ineffektivt sätt fånga upp det nu artificiellt billiga kapitalet. Vi föreslår ett randomiserat kontrollerad experiment i Uganda med den stora globala icke-statliga organisationen (en sk NGO), BRAC, för att studera dessa frågor. Studien kommer att ge småskaliga lantbrukare tillgång till jordbrukskapital på olika subventionsnivåer i kombination med a) en noggrann mätning av lantbrukarnas vilja att betala för kapital och b) ett randomiserat kontantöverföringsprogram för att studera effekten av att mildra lantbrukarnas kreditrestriktioner. Vårt experiment är utformat för att generera högkvalitativa experimentella bevis för lantbrukarnas avkastning på kapital (bevis som för närvarande är knappa) som kommer att göra det möjligt att utforska i vilken utsträckning det verkligen finns en hög potentiell avkastning som lantbrukarna går miste om. Vårt experiment gör det också möjligt för oss att i detalj studera hur två ledande principer, prissubventioner och kontantöverföringar, påverkar kapitalinvesteringar och produktivitet. Detta kommer att göra det möjligt för oss att erbjuda exakta och välinformerade policyrekommendationer. Vårt arbete kommer att bidraga till två nyliga delar av litteraturen inom utvecklingsekonomi. Den första studerar avkastningen på investeringar i småskaliga företag i utvecklingsländer, där man typiskt sett finner höga oexploaterade potentiella avkastningar på kapital.

This is well-recognized in global level science-policy fora such as the Intergovernmental Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) and the Convention on Biological Biodiversity (CBD). However, connecting knowledge systems and aggregating and scaling up knowledge in ways that are credible and legitimate and thus useful at multiple levels, remains a challenge. In response, we have developed the Multiple Evidence Base (MEB) approach that proposes that indigenous, local, and scientific knowledge systems are viewed as generating different manifestations of valid and useful knowledge to be jointly analyzed across knowledge systems. The overarching aim of the proposal is to further develop tools and theory for creating synergies across knowledge systems in an equal, transparent, and inclusive way, for the benefit of sustainable governance of ecosystems. In particular, we set out to develop and analyze the potential of a MEB approach to transform the way knowledge is generated and used, with focus on the challenge of mobilizing knowledge across scales and contexts. The specific objectives are to: 1) Create a platform for an intercultural and transdisciplinary ‘community of practice’ representing experts from diverse knowledge systems, for generation of policy relevant syntheses on tools, approaches and experiences for implementing a MEB process, and; 2) Empirically analyze process and outcomes for good governance of scaling up ILK within IPBES and the CBD. The project brings together an international research team, with ILK research experience from multiple disciplines and across the globe, including Africa, South-East Asia, Latin America, Australia, and Europe. It is unique in its capacity to build on an established networks on experts from local and indigenous knowledge systems, for intercultural and transdisciplinary learning and insights to be generated within the project. Thus, we are well set to co-produce research that will make significant contributions to ongoing policy processes where connecting across knowledge systems is of critical importance, as well as to the field of connecting ILK with science in particular and co-generation of knowledge for sustainability in general. Our work will inform biocultural approaches to conservation by presenting options for integrating diverse knowledge systems and tailoring environmental management interventions to the local social, cultural, and ecological context. Legitimate and credible tools for enhancing the recognition of ILK in ecosystem and biodiversity assessments can also lead to empowerment and improved rights for indigenous peoples and local communities. The projects will generate a set of synthesis and empirical papers to be published in scientific journal. Papers will also be summarized as policy briefs to be distributed and presented within IPBES and CBD. Vi står inför stora utmaningar i förvaltningen av världens biologiska mångfald och de ekosystemtjänster som utgör grunden för vår välfärd. Vi har inte råd att förlora kunskap och erfarenheter från en mångfald av kunskapssystem utanför forskarvärlden, om hur vi kan förstå och anpassa oss till förändringar. Lokalsamhällen och ursprungsbefolkningar världen över har genom tiderna kontinuerligt byggt rika erfarenheter och kunskaper om att bruka och förvalta dynamiska ekosystem. Vikten av att respektera och erkänna de lokala samhällenas och ursprungsbefolkningarnas kunskaper om biologisk mångfald och ekosystem uttrycks tydligt i internationella processer och konventioner som syftar till att stärka vår förmåga att skydda och förvalta världens biologiska mångfald, exempelvis den nyligen etablerade Intergovernmental Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES), och Konventionen om Biologisk Mångfald (CBD). Det är en stor och viktig utmaning att utveckla metoder för att kunskap från kunskapssystem, som sinsemellan kan vara mycket olika, ska kunna mötas på ett rättvist, transparent, och legitimt sätt. Om vi lyckas kan vi skapa synergier där kunskapssystemen möts, och kan därmed berika vår förståelse av ekosystemen, och vidare generera ny kunskap om hur vi på bästa sätt nyttjar och bevarar vår biologiska mångfald i en tid där stora klimatförändringar och ökad press på våra naturresurser nödvändiggör anpassning till nya förhållanden. Fattiga människor på landsbygden i utvecklingsländer är ofta direkt beroende av biologisk mångfald för sitt dagliga livsuppehälle. De drabbas därför ofta hårdast då miljön utarmas. I många områden i utvecklingsländer saknas också vetenskaplig kunskap om de lokala ekosystemen och den biologiska mångfalden. Detta innebär att kunskaper från lokala samhällen är särskilt betydelsefull att kunna ta tillvara där. Det kan bidra till bättre beslutsunderlag och policys som ger förutsättningar för hållbar utveckling på såväl lokal som nationell nivå. Detta gör metoder för att ta tillvara denna kunskap extra viktig i ett utvecklingsperspektiv. Vi har därför etablerat en samverkansprocess med experter från en mångfald av lokala, urfolks- samt natur- och samhällsvetenskapliga kunskapssystem och utvecklat en Multiple Evidence Base (MEB). Inom en MEB uttrycks kunskaper från varje kunskapssystem parallellt, utan att ett systems kunskap (t ex lokal kunskap) värderas av ett annat (t ex genom vetenskapliga tester). På så vis kan komplementära insikter, överlapp och motsägelser mellan kunskapssystem diskuteras och utvärderas i en gemensam process. MEB som angreppssätt har rönt mycket uppmärksamhet och intresse både inom policysfären t.ex. IPBES och CBD, och inom forskningsvärlden, som en användbar metod. Vi föreslår nu ett forskningsprojekt som syftar till att vidareutveckla metoder och teorier för att skapa synergier där kunskapssystem möts på ett rättvist, transparent, och inkluderande sätt, till förmån för hållbar förvaltning och nyttjade av biologisk mångfald och ekosystem. Forskningsprojektet ska bidra till följande syften: 1) Skapa en plattform för en interkulturell och transdiciplinär praktiker-gemenskap av experter från olika kunskapssystem, för dialoger och utveckling av verktyg för policy, och för utbyte av erfarenheter som är relevanta för genomförande av en MEB process, samt 2) empiriskt analysera process och resultat av att ta tillvara urbefolkningars och lokala samhällens kunskaper i IPBES utvärderingar och i CBD processer för att utvärdera CBD Strategiska Plan 2011 – 2020, med Aichi 2020 målen. För att göra detta på ett rättvist, transparent och legitimt sätt kommer vi jobba i ett nära samarbete med experter inom olika kunskapssystem, genom organisationer som representerar lokala samhällen och urfolkssamhällen, forskare med natur- och samhällsvetenskaplig bakgrund samt med bred erfarenhet av tvärvetenskap, samt även representanter från andra aktörer inom IPBES och CBD.

These vaccines are effective, but the use of several strains and two inactivation methods makes their manufacture complex and relatively expensive, and OCVs are therefore still severely underused globally. In developing a new generation of OCVs, a central aim is to make it affordable for the populations in greatest need. This can be achieved by simplifying manufacture whilst maintaining the levels of protection afforded by currently available OCVs. Using a single vaccine strain and one inactivation method would considerably simplify and reduce the cost of manufacture. We have recently developed a novel concept and also engineered a new type of vaccine strains for such a new generation of OCVs, whereby the several V. cholerae O1 components in Dukoral and Shanchol can be replaced by a single-strain/single-formulation component with full retention of protective immunogenicity. We now propose, in collaboration with partners in India and Bangladesh, (1) to develop this novel single-strain OCV prototype combined with recombinantly produced cholera toxin B subunit into a truly low-cost, and also thermo- and pH-stable vaccine formulation for worldwide use including stockpiling purposes. A first-generation of the new OCV is planned to go into clinical testing in Bangladesh in early 2017 with product approval hoped for already in 2018/19. In parallel, (2) we will also develop a second-generation OCV formulation, which by including a novel cholera-toxin-derived mucosal adjuvant may provide adequate protection after single-dose administration, a feature which would be especially valuable for use in cholera outbreaks. The projected novel, low-cost, thermo- and pH-stable vaccine can be produced at a fraction of the cost of current vaccines, and should be attractive for worldwide use including stockpiling purposes. Relevant countries: Most countries in South and South-East Asia, the same for Sub-Saharan Africa, and selected low-income countries in the Western hemisphere, e.g. Haiti, Dominican rep. Projektet syftar till att ta fram ett förenklat och förbättrat drickbart koleravaccin, som i en enda vaccinstam/formulering innehåller alla de olika serotyp-antigener som är av betydelse för antibakteriell koleraimmunitet och dessutom också innehåller antigen som ger upphov till antitoxisk immunitet och eventuellt också ett immunitetsförstärkande adjuvans. Vaccinet ska ha egenskaper som gör att det lämpar sig för lokal produktion i utvecklingsländer och inte behöver varken kylkedjeförvaring eller magsyraneutraliserande buffer. Det finns för närvarande två avdödade drickbara koleravacciner på den internationella marknaden, det av oss på 1980/90-talet framtagna vaccinet Dukoral och sedan 2009 ett på Dukoral-vaccinet grundat vaccin framtaget i Vietnam och Indien (Shanchol). Bägge dessa vacciner är effektiva men relativt komplexa och dyra att producera eftersom de består av ett flertal koleravaccinstammar som inaktiverats med två olika metoder. Med genteknisk modifiering av den gen i kolerabakterier (benämnd wbeT) som avgör om kolerabakterier (Vibrio cholerae serogrupp O1) ska få serotypen Inaba eller Ogawa har vi kunnat ta fram alternativa vaccinstammar av antingen biotyp El Tor (som nu svarar för praktiskt taget all kolera i världen) eller s.k. klassisk biotyp. De nya vaccinstammarna kännetecknas av att de på sin yta samtidigt uttrycker O1-antigen av både Ogawa- och Inaba-serotyp. Sådana s.k. Hikojima-vaccinstammar har avdödats med antingen formalin- eller värmebehandling och i omfattande vaccinationsstudier i möss visats ge upphov till lika starka och skyddande immunsvar som erhålles med Dukoralvaccinet. Med annan typ av genteknik har också effektiv storskalig metodik utvecklats som möjliggör enkel och mycket billig framtagning av koleratoxinets B-subenhet (CTB) för tillägg till Hikojima-vaccinet. Resultaten har väckt stort internationellt intresse och lett fram till samarbete med Wellcome Trust Hilleman Laboratories i Indien, som är expert på formulering av orala vacciner, med Incepta Pharmaceuticals och med icddr,b i Bangladesh med expertis i läkemedels- och vaccinproduktion resp. kliniska vaccinprövningar, för den fortsatta utvecklingen som beskrivs i ansökan av ett globalt oralt koleravaccin baserat på en sådan formalinavdödad Hikojima El Tor-vaccinstam tillsammans med ”enterocoatad”/ magsyrastabilt CTB. Vaccinet planeras att tillverkas i Bangladesh där också kliniska studier ska företas för att möjliggöra snabb registrering och marknadsintroduktion. Det nya vaccinet blir mycket enklare och billigare att producera än de nu registrerade koleravaccinerna, genom att en enda stam och en avdödningsmetod ersätter fyra eller fem komponenter, vartill kommer att CTB också produceras enklare och billigare. Vaccinet beräknas ges peroralt i 2-ml volym och vara såväl värme- som pH-resistent, vilket gör att det inte behövs någon fördyrande kylkedja och inte heller någon pH-skyddande tilläggsbuffer.

Sweden The Swedish Research Council The Swedish Research Council +46 8 546 44 000 vetenskapsradet@vr.se www.vr.se Box 1035, 101 38 Stockholm, Sweden Bangladesh Medical research Health, General Saknas No indicator available - only a description of the activity results is published SE-0-SE-29-2015-03449_1-1 Sweden We have previously been deeply involved in the development of the internationally available, closely related oral cholera vaccines (OCVs) Dukoral® and Shanchol®. These vaccines are effective, but the use of several strains and two inactivation methods makes their manufacture complex and relatively expensive, and OCVs are therefore still severely underused globally. In developing a new generation of OCVs, a central aim is to make it affordable for the populations in greatest need. This can be achieved by simplifying manufacture whilst maintaining the levels of protection afforded by currently available OCVs. Using a single vaccine strain and one inactivation method would considerably simplify and reduce the cost of manufacture. We have recently developed a novel concept and also engineered a new type of vaccine strains for such a new generation of OCVs, whereby the several V. cholerae O1 components in Dukoral and Shanchol can be replaced by a single-strain/single-formulation component with full retention of protective immunogenicity. We now propose, in collaboration with partners in India and Bangladesh, (1) to develop this novel single-strain OCV prototype combined with recombinantly produced cholera toxin B subunit into a truly low-cost, and also thermo- and pH-stable vaccine formulation for worldwide use including stockpiling purposes. A first-generation of the new OCV is planned to go into clinical testing in Bangladesh in early 2017 with product approval hoped for already in 2018/19. In parallel, (2) we will also develop a second-generation OCV formulation, which by including a novel cholera-toxin-derived mucosal adjuvant may provide adequate protection after single-dose administration, a feature which would be especially valuable for use in cholera outbreaks. The projected novel, low-cost, thermo- and pH-stable vaccine can be produced at a fraction of the cost of current vaccines, and should be attractive for worldwide use including stockpiling purposes. Relevant countries: Most countries in South and South-East Asia, the same for Sub-Saharan Africa, and selected low-income countries in the Western hemisphere, e.g. Haiti, Dominican rep. Projektet syftar till att ta fram ett förenklat och förbättrat drickbart koleravaccin, som i en enda vaccinstam/formulering innehåller alla de olika serotyp-antigener som är av betydelse för antibakteriell koleraimmunitet och dessutom också innehåller antigen som ger upphov till antitoxisk immunitet och eventuellt också ett immunitetsförstärkande adjuvans. Vaccinet ska ha egenskaper som gör att det lämpar sig för lokal produktion i utvecklingsländer och inte behöver varken kylkedjeförvaring eller magsyraneutraliserande buffer. Det finns för närvarande två avdödade drickbara koleravacciner på den internationella marknaden, det av oss på 1980/90-talet framtagna vaccinet Dukoral och sedan 2009 ett på Dukoral-vaccinet grundat vaccin framtaget i Vietnam och Indien (Shanchol). Bägge dessa vacciner är effektiva men relativt komplexa och dyra att producera eftersom de består av ett flertal koleravaccinstammar som inaktiverats med två olika metoder. Med genteknisk modifiering av den gen i kolerabakterier (benämnd wbeT) som avgör om kolerabakterier (Vibrio cholerae serogrupp O1) ska få serotypen Inaba eller Ogawa har vi kunnat ta fram alternativa vaccinstammar av antingen biotyp El Tor (som nu svarar för praktiskt taget all kolera i världen) eller s.k. klassisk biotyp. De nya vaccinstammarna kännetecknas av att de på sin yta samtidigt uttrycker O1-antigen av både Ogawa- och Inaba-serotyp. Sådana s.k. Hikojima-vaccinstammar har avdödats med antingen formalin- eller värmebehandling och i omfattande vaccinationsstudier i möss visats ge upphov till lika starka och skyddande immunsvar som erhålles med Dukoralvaccinet. Med annan typ av genteknik har också effektiv storskalig metodik utvecklats som möjliggör enkel och mycket billig framtagning av koleratoxinets B-subenhet (CTB) för tillägg till Hikojima-vaccinet. Resultaten har väckt stort internationellt intresse och lett fram till samarbete med Wellcome Trust Hilleman Laboratories i Indien, som är expert på formulering av orala vacciner, med Incepta Pharmaceuticals och med icddr,b i Bangladesh med expertis i läkemedels- och vaccinproduktion resp. kliniska vaccinprövningar, för den fortsatta utvecklingen som beskrivs i ansökan av ett globalt oralt koleravaccin baserat på en sådan formalinavdödad Hikojima El Tor-vaccinstam tillsammans med ”enterocoatad”/ magsyrastabilt CTB. Vaccinet planeras att tillverkas i Bangladesh där också kliniska studier ska företas för att möjliggöra snabb registrering och marknadsintroduktion. Det nya vaccinet blir mycket enklare och billigare att producera än de nu registrerade koleravaccinerna, genom att en enda stam och en avdödningsmetod ersätter fyra eller fem komponenter, vartill kommer att CTB också produceras enklare och billigare. Vaccinet beräknas ges peroralt i 2-ml volym och vara såväl värme- som pH-resistent, vilket gör att det inte behövs någon fördyrande kylkedja och inte heller någon pH-skyddande tilläggsbuffer. Tillsammans med den låga tillverkningskostnaden gör dessa egenskaper vaccinet mycket attraktivt för användning i vaccinationsprogram både mot endemisk kolera och vid kolerautbrott.

Vi har också tagit fram ett nytt och mycket lovande peroralt adjuvans, mmCT, som vi med vidare utvecklingsarbete i projektet hoppas i ett senare skede kan adderas till det nya drickbara koleravaccinet och därigenom möjliggöra att vaccinet kan ges i en enda dos ( i stället för två doser) med fullt bibehållen effektivitet också hos de yngsta barnen.

In this project we explore through which processes the institutions, activities and public policy discourses surrounding the AU’s African Peace and Security Architecture (APSA) are becoming militarized. Building on the definition by Michael Geyer (1989), Catherine Lutz (2002), and others, we conceive of militarization as encompassing a tense social process whereby societies prepare for war through a range of discursive and material processes. More precisely this project locates the processes and practices that help us explain the trend towards militarization within the APSA. It builds an explanatory social theory around these to help us answer the research question, why is there an increasing militarization of the African Union’s institutional practice? We depart from and help develop security regime complex theory, the securitization framework, as well as security practice theory. While militarization is neither absolute nor complete, in different issue areas of the AU peace and security framework the picture is uneven and more nuanced, we argue that, to date, the institutional processes and public policy discourses of the AU diverge from the inherent normative vision of APSA. This vision holds that the AU should provide integrated responses to multidimensional security challenges and rely on African traditional conflict resolution principles. The literature on African peace and security is currently under-theorized. There are only a handful of rigorous and systematic studies on APSA despite the emerging role of the AU in global governance. This research project therefore fills an important gap both in terms of intellectual scrutiny and for the purpose of policy and practice. We employ qualitative and process-tracing methodologies. In conclusion, peace promotion in Africa is currently undergoing a tense renegotiation of ideas and practices of a distinctly transnational nature. There is a shared global interest in supporting knowledge about these developments. However to carefully scrutinize the implications of militarization for peace promotion on the continent, we need good explanatory theory. Without a shared ‘grammar’ the field suffers from a lack of healthy dialogue, preferably also between paradigms, about institutional practices and their effects. While ending wars in Africa is vital, to conflict-affected African civilians as well as to global security, the militarization of means and responses is unlikely to bring stable post-war orders and longer-term durable peace. Trots Afrikanska unionens (AU) nyligen uttalade vision om att tysta kontinentens vapen innan 2020, har flera forskare uppmärksammat AU:s allt tilltagande militarisering i samband med hanteringen av kontinentala hot. I det aktuella projektet granskar vi de militariseringsprocesser som den Afrikanska Freds- och Säkerhetsarkitekturen (APSA) genomgår avseende dess institutioner och aktiviteter. Projektet omfattar dels en studie av AU:s institutioner, inklusive de regionala sammanslutningarna (REC), men även dess offentliga politiska diskurs kring säkerhet. Projektet tar sin utgångspunkt i begreppet militarisering, en process som enligt Geyer (1989) och Lutz (2002), med flera, omfattar den rad diskursiva och materiella processer genom vilka samhällen och institutioner förbereder sig för krig. Mer specifikt syftar detta projekt till att urskilja de processer som kan förklara AU:s ökade grad av militarisering. Vår forskningsfråga är: varför militariseras AU:s institutionella praxis och diskurs? Frågeställningen besvaras genom ett teoriutvecklande förhållningssätt. Militarisering av AU är naturligtvis inte absolut. Trenden är ojämn och diskussionen kring denna utveckling är brokig och oklar. Men som en nyligen genomförd forskning visar tycks AU:s alltmer militariserade utveckling utgöra en allt tydligare brytning mot den normativa grunden av pacifism och traditionella afrikanska konfliktlösningsprinciper som länge väglett organisationen. Vi kan konstatera att det finns allt tydligare tecken på att de institutioner, aktiviteter och diskurser vi nu ser är på frammarsch allt tydligare avviker från den kontinentala vision som präglat skapandet av APSA, d.v.s. strävan att AU skall kunna hantera flerdimensionella säkerhetsutmaningar. Vi behöver således ett bättre teoretiskt förhållningssätt för att förklara varför dessa processer sker samt vilka implikationerna kan bli. Utan en gemensam analytisk ”grammatik” avseende institutionell militarisering, kommer forskningsfältet att också fortsatt lida brist på en välmående teoretisk och metodmässig dialog. Vi behöver också denna kunskap för att kunna analysera militariseringens konsekvenser för AU:s fredsfrämjande roll på kontinenten. Projektet tar initialt ett kvalitativt induktivt förhållningssätt för att teoretisera APSA. Teoriutvecklingen kring AU samt dess REC:ar analyseras dels utifrån hur dessa praktiserar säkerhet när kontinentala utmaningar uppstår, dels utifrån en djupgående analys av den offentliga diskursen om vad säkerhetshot anses vara. Vid sidan av militariseringslitteraturen utgår forskningsprojektet från etablerade teoribildningar kring komplexa säkerhetsregimer (’complex security regime theory’), säkerhetisering (’securitization theory’), samt säkerhetsutövande (’security practice theory’). Forskningsprojektet bidrar således tydligt till fältet genom att utveckla och brygga teoretiska och empiriska studier. Den systematiska analysen av APSA och dess skifte mot en tilltagande militarisering kommer att ske genom olika metodologiska verktyg inklusive djupgående process analyser (process-tracing), intervjuer (individuella beslutsfattare och fokus-grupper), samt diskursanalys (av offentlig retorik och AU dokumentation inom fred och säkerhet). Litteraturen om afrikanska freds- och säkerhetsarkitekturen är idag påtagligt underteoretiserad. Det finns bara en handfull systematiska studier kring AU som global säkerhetsaktör och än färre specifikt om APSA:s grunder. Flera av dessa studier är – med vissa undantag- framförallt empiriska och deskriptiva i sin karaktär. Detta är överaskande givet den roll AU idag spelar på den internationella scenen. Forskningsprojektet fyller därför en viktig lucka vad gäller intellektuell granskning av AU som aktör. Forskningsområdet är dessutom av mycket stor relevans för policy och politisk praxis.

It distinguishes itself from existing research on election violence in at least three ways: it focuses on a region less researched by zooming in on Asia (Cambodia and Myanmar), it focuses on violence directly targeting politicians, and, importantly, it explores gender differences in the type of intimidation and violence experienced. Election violence is an important issue from a number of perspectives. Understanding the causes and consequences of inter-personal physical violence is always relevant and important, but election violence also violates a fundamental democratic principle: free and fair elections. Seen from a democratic perspective, election violence is often used in order to affect electoral outcomes or to intimidate or threaten certain politicians from running a campaign or delivering their message. Election violence is therefore more than a violation of personal integrity; it also violates electoral integrity and decreases democratic quality (Norris 2013) By taking its starting-point in electoral integrity, the relevant definition of election violence here departs from the purpose of the violent acts. Acts of intimidation, threats, physical and psychological violence with the purpose of affecting an electoral outcome or preventing someone from running in an election are all relevant acts to focus on from this perspective. This means that the range of activities defined as election violence is broad and should not be confined to an exclusive focus on physical violence. While physical violence can influence elections in very direct ways, by preventing candidates from campaigning or standing for elections, threats and intimidation create fear and can be highly efficient means to influence individual decisions (Höglund 2009). It is also when looking at election violence from an electoral integrity perspective that we come to realize that different forms of violence and intimidation may be targeting different types of people. A report that has documented incidents of election violence does suggest that there is a gendered dimension that needs further scrutiny. The report indicates that while female victims of election violence most often reported intimidation and psychological abuse, male victims typically experienced physical violence taking place in the public sphere (Bardall 2011). So far, no study has applied these insights to the experiences of politicians during elections. If there are, indeed, diverging experiences of male and female politicians during election periods, we need to design studies that are able to capture these different experiences. This project will build on earlier research as well as practical experiences in order to do so. It will combine insights from aggregated studies of incidents of election violence and interview-based case studies to design a survey study that records individual experiences, but in a systematic manner. It will survey political candidates, men and women, in Myanmar and Cambodia – two countries where election violence is a pertinent problem thwarting democratic development. The survey will be undertaken in close cooperation with international organizations with local offices in these countries. The project departs from the concern that if a large number of intimidating activities are undertaken in order to prevent women from running to office, but research and activities still are biased towards physical acts of election violence, what is captured and targeted may be a very masculine experience of election violence. This project is needed in order to fully map the range of illicit methods that are used to affect election outcomes, and to be able to subsequently design and implement programs and activities that mitigate the risks for both male and female politicians running for election. Detta projekt undersöker genusaspekter på hot och våld som drabbar politiker i två Sydostasiatiska länder: Myanmar och i Kambodja. Valrelaterat våld är ett stort hinder för demokratisk utveckling i båda dessa länder och projektet ska undersöka om det också är så att kvinnliga och manliga politiker har olika erfarenheter av vilken typ av hot och våld som riktas mot dem under valkampanjen. Det finns stora hinder för kvinnors deltagande i politiken i båda dessa länder, och det är därför viktigt att forskning och utvecklingsprojekt om valrelaterat våld förmår fångar upp de metoder som används för att skrämma bort kvinnor från politiken. Valrelaterat våld är en viktig företeelse att studera av en rad anledningar. Det är alltid viktigt att förstå orsaker till och konsekvenser av fysiskt våld som påverkar människors säkerhet och kringskär mänsklig utveckling. Valrelaterat våld är dock också viktigt ur ett demokratiskt perspektiv. Våld som används för att påverka utfallet av val är mer än en kränkning av personlig integritet: det kränker också den demokratiska integritetsprincipen om fria och rättvisa val. Om vi utgår från kränkningen av den demokratiska integriteten kan vi också definiera valrelaterat våld utifrån dess motiv. Hot, förtal och fysiskt våld och förstörelse som används i syfte att hindra någon från att föra fram sitt politiska budskap eller från att ställa upp i val är alla relevanta företeelser. Utifrån ett demokratiskt perspektiv ska vi därför inte undersöka valrelaterat våld som enbart fysiskt våld, utan använda oss av en bredare definition som också tar in psykologiska metoder. Psykologiskt våld som används i syfte att skrämma och hota bör inte underskattas, utan kan vara väldigt effektivt när det gäller att påverka politikers beteenden och – i förlängningen – utfallet av valet. När valrelaterat våld definieras på detta sätt inser vi också att olika former av våld och hot kanske drabbar olika typer av personer. En rapport som har dokumenterat incidenter av valrelaterat våld föreslår att det kan finnas viktiga genusaspekter på vilken sorts metod som används för att minska enskilda politikers chanser eller för att förmå dem att inte ställa upp till val. Rapporten visade att kvinnliga offer för valrelaterat våld oftare hade rapporterat hot och psykologiskt våld, medan manliga offer oftare rapporterade fysiskt våld i den offentliga sfären Bardall 2011). Hittills har ingen studie undersökt huruvida dessa insikter också stämmer på vilken sorts valrelaterat våld som manliga respektive kvinnliga politiker upplever när de bedriver kampanj. Eftersom det finns anledning att tro att manliga och kvinnliga kandidater har olika erfarenheter av valrelaterat våld under valperioden måste vi designa en studies om förmår fånga dessa skillnader. Denna studie gör systematiska enkäter med politiska kandidater – män och kvinnor – i Myanmar och Kambodja. Studierna genomförs i nära samarbete med internationella organisationer med lokal förankring för att möjliggöra uppföljning och utveckling av praktiska program som arbetar med dessa frågor. Projektet tar sin utgångspunkt i en oro för att det kan finnas en stor mängd hotande och skrämmande aktiviteter som används för att förhindra att kvinnor gör politisk karriär, men att dessa aktiviteter kanske inte fångas upp av rådande studier, som fortfarande företrädesvis fokuserar på fysiskt våld.

This project will focus on urban waste and sanitation in two Ugandan cities as these significantly impact the health of residents, and particularly the health of women and youth and have been widely documented to impact other development indicators, including school attendance, economic development, and gender equity. We will emphasize the politics of these services, including the contestation and negotiation that are part of the everyday use of residents. Our starting point is that residents use a diversity of sociotechnical options to obtain services, such as using flush toilets at school, paying to use a privately owned pit latrine, and making use of a distant open space. Building on African urbanist literature which urges us to start with cities in the South rather than established Northern theories and norms, we challenge the notion of the “infrastructure ideal” that suggests that the goal of service provision ought to be uniform, single-network services throughout the city. Instead, we focus our work on understanding the existing range of options and the processes undertaken to negotiate, contest, and improve what we call a “sociotechnical configuration” that helps to differentiate from a uniform and static systems view. Methodologically, we combine a study of everyday practices (using ethnographic methods) with studies of socio-technical configurations (using historical-interpretative and structural-quantitative methods) and our work will contribute theoretically to a number of fields, including infrastructure studies, urban political ecology, and global South urbanism. We seek to iteratively develop a conceptual framework to explain how infrastructure services are navigated, distributed and fought over, as well as how interventions can enable more just and sustainable services. We also believe that our work will have practical implications. We believe that shifting the focus from seeking large-scale, uniform solutions, towards implementing an array of services, can help urban ecosystems and human health. Our knowledge project seeks to foreground that heterogeneous sociotechnical configurations already provide residents with more options when services are interrupted. Rather than to ensure that nothing ever goes wrong, we suggest that resilience is increased by this multiplicity and should be built upon towards universal rights and provision. Through numerous outputs, including local workshops, community video, and regional learning platforms, we seek to inform development agencies and other stakeholders on how investments can be channeled more effectively.

Idag sker den urbana tillväxten framförallt i det globala Syd och inom tjugo år kommer Afrikas befolkning att fördubblas. Framförallt växer städernas informella områden—så kallade slumområden—där ojämlikheten och fattigdomen redan är svår. Problemet är att vi försöker förstå utmaningarna i dagens Afrika med hjälp av kunskap från förra seklets Europa. I städerna bidrar en ökad tillgång till viktiga tjänster som vatten, renhållning och elektricitet till hälsa, bättre livskvalitet och god miljö. Men regeringar, kommuner, biståndsorganisationer och civilsamhälle har fört en ojämn kamp för att öka tillgången till dessa tjänster. Äldre idéer om hur städerna bör utvecklas dröjer kvar från den koloniala perioden, eller genom tekniköverföring i biståndsprojekt. Men dagens otillräckliga och ojämlika tillgång till nödvändiga tjänster visar tydligt att en utvecklingsmodell byggd på tekniköverföring från Nord—”copy-and-paste”—inte är framgångsrik. Det krävs studier som bättre kan förklara dagens situation och bidra till att identifiera de maktstrukturer och de tekniska, sociala och ekologiska faktorer som behöver förändras, samt ge röst till marginaliserade grupper. Bland urbanforskare i Afrika, och bland politiker och stadsplanerare, höjs röster för att etablera ett nytt och mer lokalt anpassat sätt att se på och tänka kring städer. För att möta de utmaningar som Afrika, den snabbast urbaniserande kontinenten, står inför behövs ingående förståelse av Afrikanska städer; deras formella och informella strukturer i ekonomin, kulturen och politiken; vanliga människors önskemål och konsumtionsmönster: allt som inte enkelt låter sig förklaras med modeller från den redan industrialiserade världen.

This project will focus on urban waste and sanitation in two Ugandan cities as these significantly impact the health of residents, and particularly the health of women and youth and have been widely documented to impact other development indicators, including school attendance, economic development, and gender equity. We will emphasize the politics of these services, including the contestation and negotiation that are part of the everyday use of residents. Our starting point is that residents use a diversity of sociotechnical options to obtain services, such as using flush toilets at school, paying to use a privately owned pit latrine, and making use of a distant open space. Building on African urbanist literature which urges us to start with cities in the South rather than established Northern theories and norms, we challenge the notion of the “infrastructure ideal” that suggests that the goal of service provision ought to be uniform, single-network services throughout the city. Instead, we focus our work on understanding the existing range of options and the processes undertaken to negotiate, contest, and improve what we call a “sociotechnical configuration” that helps to differentiate from a uniform and static systems view. Methodologically, we combine a study of everyday practices (using ethnographic methods) with studies of socio-technical configurations (using historical-interpretative and structural-quantitative methods) and our work will contribute theoretically to a number of fields, including infrastructure studies, urban political ecology, and global South urbanism. We seek to iteratively develop a conceptual framework to explain how infrastructure services are navigated, distributed and fought over, as well as how interventions can enable more just and sustainable services. We also believe that our work will have practical implications. We believe that shifting the focus from seeking large-scale, uniform solutions, towards implementing an array of services, can help urban ecosystems and human health. Our knowledge project seeks to foreground that heterogeneous sociotechnical configurations already provide residents with more options when services are interrupted. Rather than to ensure that nothing ever goes wrong, we suggest that resilience is increased by this multiplicity and should be built upon towards universal rights and provision. Through numerous outputs, including local workshops, community video, and regional learning platforms, we seek to inform development agencies and other stakeholders on how investments can be channeled more effectively.

Specifically, we explore the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals that will replace the Millennium Development Goals in September 2015. The United Nations General Assembly’s adoption of the new goals will trigger a translation process of those into domestic policymaking with ensuing legitimation challenges that, we argue, condition future implementation prospects. When scholars have focused on legitimacy in global governance, they have primarily debated the normative standards against which international organizations should be judged. In contrast, we study the processes and sources that shape perceptions of legitimacy among development actors. Our theoretical framework includes a spectrum of legitimation and delegitimation strategies, a conceptualisation of the authors, audiences, and objects of legitimation, and the legitimacy sources and country level factors that condition legitimation processes. The research design is based on structured focused comparison and process tracing through interviews, participant observations and text-based analyses drawing on the rich post-2015 consultation material. The cases in focus are Ghana and Tanzania. Both countries have high stakes in the post-2015 goals but differ in how far they have come in socio-economic development as well as in degree of democratic consolidation, factors that we argue impact the conditions of national level legitimation. The empirical starting point of our study is the launch of the United Nations-convened national level consultations in 2012, while the empirical span of the project will end in 2018. The project’s findings are highly policy relevant as the new goals will provide political guidance for commitments and resource allocation in the realm of development between 2015 and 2030. Projektets syfte är att studera legitimering av globala politiska målsättningar på nationell nivå. Förenta Nationernas (FN:s) nya hållbara utvecklingsmål, ”Sustainable Development Goals”, ersätter FN:s Millenniemål i september 2015 och kommer att utgöra riktlinjer för utvecklingspolitik, prioriteringar och resursfördelning fram till år 2030. För att förankra de nya målen på bred front har FN sedan år 2012 strävat efter att skapa inkluderande konsultationer där representanter från internationella organisationer, stater, civilsamhället och näringslivet samt enskilda medborgare deltagit. Efter att FN:s Generalförsamling godkänt de nya målen inleds en ny fas då FN:s medlemsländer ska införliva målen nationellt och lokalt. Huruvida målen då uppfattas som legitima kommer att avgöra möjligheterna för deras förverkligande. Genom att studera den nationella nivån lyfter vi fram processer som inte tidigare studerats i samtida statsvetenskaplig forskning om legitimitet och internationella organisationer. Projektet utvecklar denna forskning genom att besvara frågan: hur legitimeras globalt utformad utvecklingspolicy när den ska förverkligas på nationell nivå? Projektet kommer att bidra med såväl teoretisk som empirisk kunskap. Vårt teoretiska bidrag handlar främst om att utveckla ett ramverk för att studera aktörers olika strategier för att söka eller ifrågasätta legitimitet, det vi kallar legitimering respektive delegitimering. Sådana strategier kan vara institutionella, diskursiva eller beteendemässiga och utövas med avsikt att påverka individers eller gruppers uppfattning om riktigheten i den förda politiken. Teoriutvecklingen gäller också grunderna för legitimitet, exempelvis grad av delaktighet i beslutsprocessen, innehållet i den föreslagna politiken, inslaget av expertkunskap eller effektiv problemlösning. Projektet studerar även skillnader mellan global och nationell nivå samt vilka maktrelationer (exempelvis finansiella, strukturella, kunskapsmässiga, normativa) som formar strategierna och reaktionerna på dessa. Vidare undersöks relationerna mellan processer som är toppstyrda och de som generas nerifrån och upp då globala mål ska anpassas till förhållanden inom ett land. Empiriskt bidrar vi med kunskap om tillkomsten av de nya hållbara utvecklingsmålen genom en jämförande fallstudie av Ghana och Tanzania. Länderna har haft omfattande FN-ledda konsultationer och har dessutom varit medlemmar av den FN-grupp som har utarbetat förslaget på de nya målen. Valet av länderna grundar sig även på skillnader som på teoretisk grund antas påverka hur global policy införlivas i nationell politik. Ghana uppvisar en högre ekonomisk utvecklingsnivå och har varit mer framgångsrikt med att uppnå de nuvarande Millenniemålen än Tanzania. Dessutom anses Ghanas demokrati vara konsoliderad medan Tanzania fortfarande kämpar med arvet från tidigare enpartistat. Dessa faktorer tror vi påverkar legitimeringsprocesserna i respektive land. Studien sträcker sig från början av FN:s konsultationer år 2012 till tre år efter det att målen formellt antagits av FN:s Generalförsamling. Projektets primärmaterial består av intervjuer, deltagande observationer samt ett omfattande textmaterial som producerats under konsultationer i Ghana och Tanzania men även efter målens formella antagande, exempelvis policyrelevanta dokument. Metodologiskt baseras studien på jämförande analys, process-spårning och textbaserad innehållsanalys. Genom den omfattande tillgången på empiriskt material utgör de nya utvecklingsmålen en unik möjlighet att utveckla forskningen om legitimitets betydelse för politiska målsättningar. Projektet är dessutom ytterst policyrelevant eftersom de nya målen kommer att ha stor inverkan på utvecklingspolitik fram till år 2030.

Besides being a culturally valued beverage, it is the main source of income for millions of Ethiopian poor smallholder farmers. Ethiopia also contain the last remaining wild coffee populations and therefore is the unique genetic reservoir of this globally important plant. From a biodiversity conservation point of view the coffee production in Ethiopia is controversial. On one hand coffee production degrades the last montane forest ecosystems due to (partial) clearings of intact forests and it also threatens the wild coffee population by introgression of genes from improved varieties grown in the vicinity of natural forests. On the other hand coffee is frequently grown under shade and shade coffee systems are globally known to be beneficial land uses for combining production and generating ecosystem services including biodiversity conservation. In this project we shall tackle this dual role of coffee, with the ultimate goal of generating knowledge that could close yield gaps and improve livelihoods of poor farmers, while at the same time saving biodiversity and optimizing the utilization of natural ecosystem services. We will work in a study landscape in SW Ethiopia in which coffee is grown in different management systems and is the main income for thousands of farmers. High biodiversity values are also present in the landscape, including wild coffee populations. Farmers struggle against fungal diseases on coffee, which they consider as the worst pests. The project is divided into four work packages (WP) which are closely linked under the umbrella of coffee yield-biodiversity variation across the landscape: WP1 will focus on understanding the drivers of the variation in coffee management systems across the landscape. WP2 will identify thresholds in biodiversity-coffee yield relationships and WP3 will investigate plant-fungi interactions of major coffee pests along this gradient in relation to both yields, variation in yields as well as biodiversity. The final WP4 will synthesize findings from the other packages. We will use satellite imagery for mapping coffee systems across the landscape (WP1), standard methods such as point count, single rope technique, netting and bagging of flowers to quantify bird, plant and pollinator diversity and function in around 50 sites across a management gradient. Coffee yield will also be assessed in these sites over several years to get a measure of the variation (WP2). In WP3 we will combine field based surveys of disease progression and genetic analyses of coffee genotypes to understand the drivers of spatial and temporal disease dynamics (epidemiology). Here we will also use the same sites as in WP2 and link it to yield dynamics and biodiversity. Kristoffer Hylander, Stockholm University, with previous extensive experiences in landscape ecology in Ethiopia, will lead the project together with Prof. Sileshi Nemomissa at Addis Ababa University who is a plant expert. Dr. Ayco Tack at Stockholm University, who has worked extensively on fungal pathogen – plant interactions, is involved in the third work package on the major fungal threats on coffee. We further collaborate with an Ethiopian coffee geneticist for plant genetic analyses. One PhD-student supervised by these tree persons and one postdoc will be appointed. We apply for a three year project that will start in January 2016 by mapping the landscape and selecting field sites for the coming fieldwork during both dry and rainy seasons during the three years. Our project will take a holistic approach to increase the knowledge of how to manage coffee systems for positive synergies between sustainable farmer’s incomes and biodiversity, and thereby tackle the negative aspects of this globally and nationally important crop. We will combine basic and applied science to give tools for a changed management towards sustainability at a landsca Kaffe spelar en central roll både för ekonomin och biodiversiteten på många platser i Etiopien. Förutom att vara en uppskattad dryck som man är stolt över är kaffe det den viktigaste inkomsten för miljoner av fattiga småbrukare. I höglandsskogarna i västra Etiopien växer vilt kaffe som är en oerhört viktig genetisk reservoar eftersom den genetiska mångfalden är mycket högre här. Eftersom det är en av värdens största handelsprodukter kan man förstå att dessa genetiska reservoarer är globalt skyddsvärda. När det gäller bevarandet av biodiversiteten i Etiopien är kaffeproduktionen kontroversiell. Å ena sidan så påverkas skogarna negativt av att människor glesar ut den och odlar kaffe under träden. Dessutom hotas de vilda kaffepopulationerna av att gener från odlade former sprider sig in i skogen och blandar sig med det vilda kaffet och på sikt hotar den genetiska mångfalden. Å andra sidan odlas kaffe alltid under skuggträd och kaffe är känt för att vara en gröda där man både kan få ut ekonomi och bevara mycket biodiversitet och ekosystemtjänster på samma mark. Dessutom har det visat sig att avskogningen gått mycket fortare där man inte odlat kaffe jämfört där man odlat kaffe. I detta projekt skall vi undersöka denna dubbla roll som kaffe har, med slutmålet att få fram kunskap som kan öka småbrukares inkomster samtidigt som biodiversiteten bevaras och det blir ett uthålligt användande av ekosystemtjänster. Vi tror att kaffet spelar en nyckelroll i alla dessa frågor. Vi kommer jobba i ett landskap i sydvästra Etiopien där kaffeodling utgör en mycket viktig del av böndernas inkomster, men som också är känt för sin rika biodiveristet i skogarna. Det största problemet som bönderna har när det gäller kaffeodlingen är två olika svampsjukdomar som angriper bären eller hela busken. Projektet är uppdelat i fyra delprojekt som är tydligt ihoplänkade på temat kaffeproduktivitet-biodiversitet. Det första delprojektet fokuserar på att förstå variationen i kaffe odlingssystem över landskapet – var det finns intakt skog, var det finns planteringar eller var man mest skördar vilt kaffe. Det andra projektet kommer identifiera icke-linjära samband och tröskelvärden mellan biodiversitet och kaffeskördar. Man kan t.ex. undersöka om det finns något tröskelvärde för hur mycket man kan öka kaffeskörnarna utan att antalet fågelarter börjar minska och liknande frågeställningar. I det tredje delprojektet kommer vi undersöka variationen i angrepp av olika svampsjukdomar i relation till hur intensivt kaffet brukas, men också i relation till den genetiska variationen av kaffe på de olika platserna. Det fjärde delprojektet är en syntes av resultaten från de tre andra delprojekten. Vi kommer använda oss av satellitbilder för att kartlägga olika kaffeodlingssystem i landskapet. För att mäta artrikedom av fåglar, växter och bin kommer vi använda oss av standardmetoder såsom punkttaxering, klättring med enkelrep, håvning mm på ca 50 platser med olika brukningsintensitet. Kaffeskörden kommer att mätas på alla dessa platser under flera år för att förstå variationen i skördens storlek. Vi kommer studera variationen i angrepp av svampsjukdomarna i fält på samma platser, men också samla in blad för att göra genetiska analyser. Prof. Kristoffer Hylander, Stockholms Universitet, som har en sedan tidigare gedigen erfarenhet av landskapsekologiska studier i Etiopien, kommer leda projektet tillsammans med Prof. Sileshi på Addis Ababa universitet som är en växtexpert. Dr. Ayco Tack på Stockholms universitet, som tidigare arbetat mycket med dynamiken mellan växter och svampsjukdomar, kommer vara aktiv i det delprojeket som handlar om svampsjukdomars hot mot kaffe. Vi kommer också samarbeta med en Etiopisk genetiker som arbetat med just kaffe. En doktorand och en postdoc kommer anställas. Vi söker för ett treårsprojekt som kommer starta i januari 2016 med att vi kartlägger landskapet.

The project is divided into four work packages (WP) which are closely linked under the umbrella of coffee yield-biodiversity variation across the landscape: WP1 will focus on understanding the drivers of the variation in coffee management systems across the landscape. WP2 will identify thresholds in biodiversity-coffee yield relationships and WP3 will investigate plant-fungi interactions of major coffee pests along this gradient in relation to both yields, variation in yields as well as biodiversity. The final WP4 will synthesize findings from the other packages. We will use satellite imagery for mapping coffee systems across the landscape (WP1), standard methods such as point count, single rope technique, netting and bagging of flowers to quantify bird, plant and pollinator diversity and function in around 50 sites across a management gradient. Coffee yield will also be assessed in these sites over several years to get a measure of the variation (WP2). In WP3 we will combine field based surveys of disease progression and genetic analyses of coffee genotypes to understand the drivers of spatial and temporal disease dynamics (epidemiology). Here we will also use the same sites as in WP2 and link it to yield dynamics and biodiversity. Kristoffer Hylander, Stockholm University, with previous extensive experiences in landscape ecology in Ethiopia, will lead the project together with Prof. Sileshi Nemomissa at Addis Ababa University who is a plant expert. Dr. Ayco Tack at Stockholm University, who has worked extensively on fungal pathogen – plant interactions, is involved in the third work package on the major fungal threats on coffee. We further collaborate with an Ethiopian coffee geneticist for plant genetic analyses. One PhD-student supervised by these tree persons and one postdoc will be appointed. We apply for a three year project that will start in January 2016 by mapping the landscape and selecting field sites for the coming fieldwork during both dry and rainy seasons during the three years. Our project will take a holistic approach to increase the knowledge of how to manage coffee systems for positive synergies between sustainable farmer’s incomes and biodiversity, and thereby tackle the negative aspects of this globally and nationally important crop. We will combine basic and applied science to give tools for a changed management towards sustainability at a landsca Kaffe spelar en central roll både för ekonomin och biodiversiteten på många platser i Etiopien. Förutom att vara en uppskattad dryck som man är stolt över är kaffe det den viktigaste inkomsten för miljoner av fattiga småbrukare. I höglandsskogarna i västra Etiopien växer vilt kaffe som är en oerhört viktig genetisk reservoar eftersom den genetiska mångfalden är mycket högre här. Eftersom det är en av värdens största handelsprodukter kan man förstå att dessa genetiska reservoarer är globalt skyddsvärda. När det gäller bevarandet av biodiversiteten i Etiopien är kaffeproduktionen kontroversiell. Å ena sidan så påverkas skogarna negativt av att människor glesar ut den och odlar kaffe under träden. Dessutom hotas de vilda kaffepopulationerna av att gener från odlade former sprider sig in i skogen och blandar sig med det vilda kaffet och på sikt hotar den genetiska mångfalden. Å andra sidan odlas kaffe alltid under skuggträd och kaffe är känt för att vara en gröda där man både kan få ut ekonomi och bevara mycket biodiversitet och ekosystemtjänster på samma mark. Dessutom har det visat sig att avskogningen gått mycket fortare där man inte odlat kaffe jämfört där man odlat kaffe. I detta projekt skall vi undersöka denna dubbla roll som kaffe har, med slutmålet att få fram kunskap som kan öka småbrukares inkomster samtidigt som biodiversiteten bevaras och det blir ett uthålligt användande av ekosystemtjänster. Vi tror att kaffet spelar en nyckelroll i alla dessa frågor. Vi kommer jobba i ett landskap i sydvästra Etiopien där kaffeodling utgör en mycket viktig del av böndernas inkomster, men som också är känt för sin rika biodiveristet i skogarna. Det största problemet som bönderna har när det gäller kaffeodlingen är två olika svampsjukdomar som angriper bären eller hela busken. Projektet är uppdelat i fyra delprojekt som är tydligt ihoplänkade på temat kaffeproduktivitet-biodiversitet. Det första delprojektet fokuserar på att förstå variationen i kaffe odlingssystem över landskapet – var det finns intakt skog, var det finns planteringar eller var man mest skördar vilt kaffe. Det andra projektet kommer identifiera icke-linjära samband och tröskelvärden mellan biodiversitet och kaffeskördar. Man kan t.ex. undersöka om det finns något tröskelvärde för hur mycket man kan öka kaffeskörnarna utan att antalet fågelarter börjar minska och liknande frågeställningar. I det tredje delprojektet kommer vi undersöka variationen i angrepp av olika svampsjukdomar i relation till hur intensivt kaffet brukas, men också i relation till den genetiska variationen av kaffe på de olika platserna. Det fjärde delprojektet är en syntes av resultaten från de tre andra delprojekten. Vi kommer använda oss av satellitbilder för att kartlägga olika kaffeodlingssystem i landskapet. För att mäta artrikedom av fåglar, växter och bin kommer vi använda oss av standardmetoder såsom punkttaxering, klättring med enkelrep, håvning mm på ca 50 platser med olika brukningsintensitet. Kaffeskörden kommer att mätas på alla dessa platser under flera år för att förstå variationen i skördens storlek. Vi kommer studera variationen i angrepp av svampsjukdomarna i fält på samma platser, men också samla in blad för att göra genetiska analyser. Prof. Kristoffer Hylander, Stockholms Universitet, som har en sedan tidigare gedigen erfarenhet av landskapsekologiska studier i Etiopien, kommer leda projektet tillsammans med Prof. Sileshi på Addis Ababa universitet som är en växtexpert. Dr. Ayco Tack på Stockholms universitet, som tidigare arbetat mycket med dynamiken mellan växter och svampsjukdomar, kommer vara aktiv i det delprojeket som handlar om svampsjukdomars hot mot kaffe. Vi kommer också samarbeta med en Etiopisk genetiker som arbetat med just kaffe. En doktorand och en postdoc kommer anställas. Vi söker för ett treårsprojekt som kommer starta i januari 2016 med att vi kartlägger landskapet.

Such diseases represent one of the leading causes of illness and death from infectious disease. In most developing countries, zoonotic diseases are among those diseases that contribute significantly to an already overly burdened public health system. Infectious and parasitic diseases rank second among the "top killers" of the world and in low-income countries, especially in Africa, these diseases are even the dominant causes of death. The countrywide economic loss due to zoonotic disease is immense, cementing poverty and underdevelopment in many regions of the world. The two populations whose biological and social realities put them at greater risk for the negative impacts of zoonotic diseases are women and children. The present project will, in a multidisciplinary collaboration between a PhD student to be employed in the project and senior researchers at Uppsala University, the UN organ FAO/IAEA labs in Africa, Stockholm University, the Technical University of Denmark (DTU) and the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, develop a novel, sensitive, low-cost, diagnostics unit, providing an efficient analytical platform for detection of pathogens causing zoonotic infections in under-developed countries. The unit is based on state-of-the-art nano- and biotechnology and combines analysis of changes in rotation dynamics of probe-tagged magnetic nanobeads with a single-molecule detection approach which applies padlock ligation technique and rolling circle amplification (RCA) of the probed pathogen biomolecules (RNA and DNA). Specifically the project contains a number of well-defined, subtasks including: • Optimization and development of DNA-base detection of organisms having constant target sequence (first 18 months) and RNA-base detection of organisms having variable target sequence (year 1.5-3.5). This work includes extraction and purification of DNA/RNA target from samples received from the above mentioned labs in Africa as well as design of padlock probes and capture probes. • Optimization of the conjugation protocol used for attaching biomolecules on the surface of the magnetic nanobeads (first 24 months). • Measurements of the RCA products formed from the new padlock probes using the bead-based magnetic bioassay in a commercial AC suceptometer (year 2-3.5). This includes: Determining the limit of detection for the different pathogens, detection of antimicrobial resistance and resistant clones (salmonella and campylobacter), detection of a wide range of different strains of E. coli, investigation of mixed viral populations, subpopulations and individual copies of Avian influenza virus, West Nile virus and Rift Valley Fever virus in clinical samples, introducing new variants of the three viruses in the diagnostic assay. • Detection of pathogen targets in a working prototype of an on-chip magnetoresistive sensor based on the planar Hall effect developed in collaboration with DTU (years 3-5). This includes having 1-3 working prototypes ready for on-site tests at the FAO/IAEA connected labs in Kenya, Uganda, Mozambique, the Ivory Coast, Ghana, and/or Angola in order to get immediate feedback regarding both handling and robustness of the prototype. It is, to our knowledge, the first detection principle that combines high sensitivity with potentially very low production cost and being easy to use, making it suitable for early diagnoses of people living in close proximity to livestock and poultry in areas lacking advanced healthcare units. It should thus be suitable for hindering the spread of epidemics severely affecting the most vulnerable people in low income countries while simultaneously contributing to a more sustainable food production. Ungefär 75 procent av de nya typer av infektioner som har drabbar människor under de senaste 10 åren är zoonoser; sjukdomar som orsakas av mikroorganismer som överförs mellan djur och människor. Detta beror bland annat på störningar i den ekologiska balansen, som t.ex. klimatförändringen, befolkningsökningen och urbanisering i u-länder samt ökat resande. I låginkomstländer, särskilt i Afrika, utgör infektionssjukdomar den dominerande dödsorsaken. De ekonomiska förlusterna för länder som är hårdast drabbade av zoonoser är enorma, vilket cementerar fattigdom och underutveckling i många delar av världen. I syfte att minimera och även eliminera spridningen av sjukdomar från djur till människor i u-länder, är tidiga diagnoser av boskap, fjäderfä och människor som bor och arbetar i nära anslutning till djuren avgörande.

Such diseases represent one of the leading causes of illness and death from infectious disease. In most developing countries, zoonotic diseases are among those diseases that contribute significantly to an already overly burdened public health system. Infectious and parasitic diseases rank second among the "top killers" of the world and in low-income countries, especially in Africa, these diseases are even the dominant causes of death. The countrywide economic loss due to zoonotic disease is immense, cementing poverty and underdevelopment in many regions of the world. The two populations whose biological and social realities put them at greater risk for the negative impacts of zoonotic diseases are women and children. The present project will, in a multidisciplinary collaboration between a PhD student to be employed in the project and senior researchers at Uppsala University, the UN organ FAO/IAEA labs in Africa, Stockholm University, the Technical University of Denmark (DTU) and the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, develop a novel, sensitive, low-cost, diagnostics unit, providing an efficient analytical platform for detection of pathogens causing zoonotic infections in under-developed countries. The unit is based on state-of-the-art nano- and biotechnology and combines analysis of changes in rotation dynamics of probe-tagged magnetic nanobeads with a single-molecule detection approach which applies padlock ligation technique and rolling circle amplification (RCA) of the probed pathogen biomolecules (RNA and DNA). Specifically the project contains a number of well-defined, subtasks including: • Optimization and development of DNA-base detection of organisms having constant target sequence (first 18 months) and RNA-base detection of organisms having variable target sequence (year 1.5-3.5). This work includes extraction and purification of DNA/RNA target from samples received from the above mentioned labs in Africa as well as design of padlock probes and capture probes. • Optimization of the conjugation protocol used for attaching biomolecules on the surface of the magnetic nanobeads (first 24 months). • Measurements of the RCA products formed from the new padlock probes using the bead-based magnetic bioassay in a commercial AC suceptometer (year 2-3.5). This includes: Determining the limit of detection for the different pathogens, detection of antimicrobial resistance and resistant clones (salmonella and campylobacter), detection of a wide range of different strains of E. coli, investigation of mixed viral populations, subpopulations and individual copies of Avian influenza virus, West Nile virus and Rift Valley Fever virus in clinical samples, introducing new variants of the three viruses in the diagnostic assay. • Detection of pathogen targets in a working prototype of an on-chip magnetoresistive sensor based on the planar Hall effect developed in collaboration with DTU (years 3-5). This includes having 1-3 working prototypes ready for on-site tests at the FAO/IAEA connected labs in Kenya, Uganda, Mozambique, the Ivory Coast, Ghana, and/or Angola in order to get immediate feedback regarding both handling and robustness of the prototype. It is, to our knowledge, the first detection principle that combines high sensitivity with potentially very low production cost and being easy to use, making it suitable for early diagnoses of people living in close proximity to livestock and poultry in areas lacking advanced healthcare units. It should thus be suitable for hindering the spread of epidemics severely affecting the most vulnerable people in low income countries while simultaneously contributing to a more sustainable food production.

While the mothers nutritional status both before and during pregnancy is associated with fetal growth, underlying mechanisms are still not completely understood. The insulin-like growth factor (IGF) system and its components has been studied in pregnancy and suggested as potential mediators between the associations between maternal nutritional status and growth of the fetus. While several studies have found maternal IGF-1 concentrations to be associated with size at birth, other studies find no such associations. There is also little knowledge on associations between maternal IGF-system and later infant growth. This population-based study will be implemented in a rural setting in Bangladesh where poor maternal nutritional status is common. We aim to investigate maternal nutritional status and the IGF-system in relation to fetal growth, infant size at birth, body composition and infant growth. We will use different indicators of maternal nutritional status (body weight, length and body composition). Fetal growth will be measured by ultrasound and infant body composition by skinfolds. Our proposed study may give more insight into these complex relationsships and increase our understanding of fetal growth regulation. This will help designing appropriate nutrition interventions by identifying who benefits most, and when interventions would be most successful. Hur påverkas barnets tillväxt under foster- och spädbarnstiden av mammans nutritionsstatus och tillväxtfaktorer under graviditeten? Att födas med låg födelsevikt, en följd av svag fostertillväxt, kan leda till ökad spädbarnsdödlighet och sjuklighet samt på lång sikt även en ökad risk att utveckla metabola sjukdomar. Vi vet sedan tidigare att mammans nutritionsstatus, både före och under graviditeten, är kopplat till fostrets tillväxt. Däremot är det inte helt utrett vilka biologiska mekanismerna som ligger till grund för dessa samband. Insulin-like growth factor 1(IGF-1) är en så kallad tillväxtfaktor som är lik insulin både i struktur och funktion. IGF-1 spelar en viktig roll i tillväxt och är extra viktig under fostertiden och barndomen. IGF-1 har tillsammans med faktorer som påverkar dess funktion studerats under graviditeten, och IGF-1 har föreslagits vara en möjlig bakomliggande orsak till de samband man sett mellan mammans nutritionsstatus under graviditeten och fostertillväxt. Detta är dock inte helt klarlagt och kunskap saknas även om hur mammans IGF-1 tillsammans med nutritionsstatus påverkar tillväxten efter födseln. Vi planerar att genomföra en studie på landsbygden i Bangladesh där en stor andel barn föds med låg födelsevikt och majoriteten av kvinnorna har lågt BMI. Vi kommer att studera mammans nutritionsstatus och nivåer av IGF-1 i förhållande till fostrets tillväxt, födelsevikt och kroppssammansättning samt även studera barnets tillväxt. Vi kommer att använda oss av flera olika markörer för mammans nutritionsstatus (kroppsvikt , längd och kroppssammansättning) . Fostrets tillväxt kommer att mätas med hjälp av ultraljud. Vid födseln kommer barnet att vägas och mätas och dess kroppssammansättning uppskattas. Detta kommer att upprepas tre gånger under barnets första levnadsår för att kunna studera spädbarnets tillväxt. De flesta tidigare studier där man tittat på dessa samband har genomförts i grupper där mamman har ett relativt högt BMI. De flesta studier har heller inte uppföljning av mamman och hennes barn efter födseln så att mer långsiktiga samband kan studeras.

While the mothers nutritional status both before and during pregnancy is associated with fetal growth, underlying mechanisms are still not completely understood. The insulin-like growth factor (IGF) system and its components has been studied in pregnancy and suggested as potential mediators between the associations between maternal nutritional status and growth of the fetus. While several studies have found maternal IGF-1 concentrations to be associated with size at birth, other studies find no such associations. There is also little knowledge on associations between maternal IGF-system and later infant growth. This population-based study will be implemented in a rural setting in Bangladesh where poor maternal nutritional status is common. We aim to investigate maternal nutritional status and the IGF-system in relation to fetal growth, infant size at birth, body composition and infant growth. We will use different indicators of maternal nutritional status (body weight, length and body composition). Fetal growth will be measured by ultrasound and infant body composition by skinfolds. Our proposed study may give more insight into these complex relationsships and increase our understanding of fetal growth regulation. This will help designing appropriate nutrition interventions by identifying who benefits most, and when interventions would be most successful. Hur påverkas barnets tillväxt under foster- och spädbarnstiden av mammans nutritionsstatus och tillväxtfaktorer under graviditeten? Att födas med låg födelsevikt, en följd av svag fostertillväxt, kan leda till ökad spädbarnsdödlighet och sjuklighet samt på lång sikt även en ökad risk att utveckla metabola sjukdomar. Vi vet sedan tidigare att mammans nutritionsstatus, både före och under graviditeten, är kopplat till fostrets tillväxt. Däremot är det inte helt utrett vilka biologiska mekanismerna som ligger till grund för dessa samband. Insulin-like growth factor 1(IGF-1) är en så kallad tillväxtfaktor som är lik insulin både i struktur och funktion. IGF-1 spelar en viktig roll i tillväxt och är extra viktig under fostertiden och barndomen. IGF-1 har tillsammans med faktorer som påverkar dess funktion studerats under graviditeten, och IGF-1 har föreslagits vara en möjlig bakomliggande orsak till de samband man sett mellan mammans nutritionsstatus under graviditeten och fostertillväxt. Detta är dock inte helt klarlagt och kunskap saknas även om hur mammans IGF-1 tillsammans med nutritionsstatus påverkar tillväxten efter födseln. Vi planerar att genomföra en studie på landsbygden i Bangladesh där en stor andel barn föds med låg födelsevikt och majoriteten av kvinnorna har lågt BMI. Vi kommer att studera mammans nutritionsstatus och nivåer av IGF-1 i förhållande till fostrets tillväxt, födelsevikt och kroppssammansättning samt även studera barnets tillväxt. Vi kommer att använda oss av flera olika markörer för mammans nutritionsstatus (kroppsvikt , längd och kroppssammansättning) . Fostrets tillväxt kommer att mätas med hjälp av ultraljud. Vid födseln kommer barnet att vägas och mätas och dess kroppssammansättning uppskattas. Detta kommer att upprepas tre gånger under barnets första levnadsår för att kunna studera spädbarnets tillväxt. De flesta tidigare studier där man tittat på dessa samband har genomförts i grupper där mamman har ett relativt högt BMI. De flesta studier har heller inte uppföljning av mamman och hennes barn efter födseln så att mer långsiktiga samband kan studeras. Genom denna studie hoppas vi kunna få ökad kunskap om hur fostertillväxt och tillväxt hos spädbarnet regleras och vilka faktorer som är inblandade i detta. Denna kunskap är viktig för att utveckla lämpliga interventioner som implementeras på bästa sätt.

Repeated stress may result in neurohormonal imbalance and increase the risk for hypertension and future cardiovascular (CV) disease. Given that the global prevalence of hypertension is now among the top risk factors for death, we hypothesise that stress in youth, perceived differently in different socio-economic environments, is a major cause of future hypertension. Simultaneous study of both low-and high income countries with large gaps in health equity, will give an unique possibility to examine and follow the emerging CV risk and unravel the predictive determinants for health. Together with our collaborative partner, the African Population Health and Research Center (APHRC), we will establish 3 cohorts by recruiting 13 year-olds from schools in Nairobi (Kenya), in Blantyre (Malawi) and in Västra Götaland (Sweden) to study self-perceived stress, demographic data and physiological determinants of stress and resilience in a longitudinal life-course perspective.

Vi vill testa hypotesen att stress och mental ohälsa, upplevd i olika socio-ekonomiska miljöer, är en stark orsak till senare utveckling av hypertoni med påföljande risk för både stroke och hjärt-kärlsjukdom. Att få möjlighet att studera, simultant, stress och självupplevd hälsa hos ungdomar i både låg- och höginkomstländer, med uttalad ojämlik i hälsa och hälsosystem, ger oss en unik möjlighet att undersöka och följa hälsoutvecklingen hos ungdomarna över tid, med särskilt fokus på betydelsen av stress och resilience för uppkomsten av hypertoni och kardiovaskulära riskfaktorer. Det är mindre känt vilka faktorer som främjar resiliens, dvs individens förmåga att återhämta sig från stress, och därmed minska risken för att utveckla fetma och hjärt-kärlsjukdom. Vi vill testa hypotesen att hög stress och låg resiliens under tonåren leder till förhöjt blodtryck i vuxen ålder.

Plastic debris and microplastics are one of the main environmental issues globally, but the situation in the Indian Ocean is poorly studied. Plastic debris may cause physical harm to ecosystems causing smothering or starvation of large animals when air or alimentary tracts are blocked. Microplastics may carry chemical contaminants, e.g., persistent organic pollutants (DDT, PCB etc), phthalates, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, that enter the food chain with ingested particles. This project is a collaborative effort between Sweden and Bangladesh, with additional input from India and South Africa. We will count and collect different types of plastics in the Sundarbans of Bangladesh and India and in coral reefs. In Bangladesh we will also collect sediment and biota. The samples will be characterized physically and chemically, to elucidate the sources of the plastics. Sorbed chemical contaminants and contaminant uptake in the food chain will be determined. The project will give valuable information useful for the protection of environmental resources that are economically important for the coastal population.

Plast i havet har under senare år uppmärksammats som ett gigantiskt och växande miljöproblem. Det är uppenbart för alla som gått på en strand att det ligger mycket plastskräp oavsett hur avlägsen stranden är från större befolkningscentra. Denna typ av plastskräp utgör ett hot mot sköldpaddor, däggdjur och fåglar som misstar plast för mat och kan få såväl matsmältningskanalen som luftvägarna igensatta och dö av svält eller kvävning. Fiskenät och -linor utgör ett annat hot i vilka djuren kan fastna. Problemet kompliceras av att stora plastobjekt kan brytas ned till mikroskopiska partiklar som svävar runt i haven. Mikroskopiska plastpartiklar finns numera också i många kosmetik och hygienprodukter, och en stor del av dessa letar sig ut i havet. Dessutom transporteras på fartyg plastpellets som råmaterial från plasttillverkare till tillverkare av färdiga plastvaror. Små plastpelletar och mikroskopiska plastpartiklar, s.k. mikroplast, kan även de uppfattas som föda och ätas av fiskar och djurplankton. Förutom att detta kan leda till blockerade matsmältningskanaler kan det också finnas miljögifter i eller på plasten, miljögifter som på detta sätt kommer in i näringskedjan. Eftersom plast för det mesta flyter, och bryts ned mycket långsamt ansamlas det på vissa ställen i världshaven. I sådana områden kan det finnas fler plastpartiklar än djurplankton vilket ställer till stora problem i näringsväven. Sådana områden är beskrivna i såväl Stilla Havet som Atlanten, medan Indiska Oceanen är mindre väl undersökt. I detta projekt ska vi undersöka en potentiell ”hot spot” för utflöde av plast i Indiska Oceanen. I det inre av Bengaliska viken mynnar flera stora floder som avvattnar stora tätbefolkade områden, med drygt 400 miljoner invånare enbart i Gangesslätten. Bangladesh är till stor del beläget i det delta i vilket både Ganges och Brahmaputra rinner ut i Indiska Oceanen. I deltat finns också världens största mangroveskog, Sundarban, ett av FN:s världsarv i vilken många känsliga arter finns kvar som annars fått sitt livsrum kraftigt begränsat på Indiska Subkontinenten, bl.a. bengalisk tiger. I Sundarban lever också många människor som är beroende av Sundarbans naturresurser för sin överlevnad. Längre västerut i Bangladesh finns känsliga korallrev som och en fiskeindustri som är viktig för att försörja en stor del av Bangladesh med fisk. Dessa områden kan påverkas av plastföroreningar dels ilandflutet från havet, och dels transporterat ut via floderna från de tätbefolkade delarna av Gangesslätten med en växande industri som ofta inte tar mycket miljöhänsyn. Vi kommer att räkna plastskräp på stränder både i Sundarban och längs med korallreven. Vi kommer också att med olika tekniker ta prover på mikroplast i sand, sediment, vatten och olika organismer (koraller, fisk etc.). Genom att specifikt titta på vilken typ av plast som dominerar olika storleksfraktioner av plastpartiklar ska vi bilda oss en uppfattning om varifrån de olika typerna av plast kommer. Vidare kommer vi att bestämma halterna av olika miljögifter, dels klassiska miljögifter som DDT och PCB, men också specifika ”plastkemikalier” som ftalater proverna.

Rent vatten och vattenresurser är en prioriterad fråga i hela världen. Industrier och jordbruk orsakar föroreningar som hamnar i mark och vatten och som är skadliga för människor, djur och för miljön. Våra naturliga vattenresurser innehåller också höga halter av skadliga ämnen som behövs renas innan användning. Ett sätt för att spara på vattenresurser är att återanvända industrivatten, genom ta bort de skadliga ämnen och ett annat sätt är att behandla naturligt vatten som innehåller föroreningar. Ett tredje sätt är att göra havsvatten drickbart eller tillgänglig för bevattning. Det finns behov att skapa enkla och billiga metoder som passar för vattenrening i länder som har stora problem med vatten. Vårt projektförslaget syftar till att använda restprodukter från jordbruket för framställning av nya miljövänliga billiga nanostructurerade material, kompositer, som testas för användning som ultrafiltreringsmembran för att rena vatten. Cellulosa nanofibrer isoleras från jordbruksavfall, t.ex från rishalm som är ett problem avfall i Egypten och orsakar luftföroreningar då de eldas. De isolerade nanofibrerna karakteriseras på olika sätt och används därefter till framställning av nanoporösa ultrafiltreringsmembran som testas för att avlägsna bakterier, partiklar och föroreningar från vatten. Arbetet kan leda till framställning av billiga enkla filter från problem avfall för att hjälpa till att lösa den ökade efterfrågan om rent vatten för människor, djur och växter.

Vårt projektförslaget syftar till att använda restprodukter från jordbruket för framställning av nya miljövänliga billiga nanostructurerade material, kompositer, som testas för användning som ultrafiltreringsmembran för att rena vatten. Cellulosa nanofibrer isoleras från jordbruksavfall, t.ex från rishalm som är ett problem avfall i Egypten och orsakar luftföroreningar då de eldas. De isolerade nanofibrerna karakteriseras på olika sätt och används därefter till framställning av nanoporösa ultrafiltreringsmembran som testas för att avlägsna bakterier, partiklar och föroreningar från vatten. Arbetet kan leda till framställning av billiga enkla filter från problem avfall för att hjälpa till att lösa den ökade efterfrågan om rent vatten för människor, djur och växter.

Yet, for endorsing its expected expansion, further development is needed to ensure sustainable farming practices, increase production and mitigated environmental impact. The aim of the proposed, three year project, is to increase farming outcome by identifying native seaweeds for replacing the present ecologically unsustainable use of non-indigenous Asian strains. By mapping native seaweed populations, their performance and adaptive capacity to climate change, strains suitable for commercial cultivation will be identified and tested. Further will the need for improved seaweed management and policy strategies of denuded seaweed beds for maintained ecosystem diversity and function be investigated. The project will be carried out jointly by all project leaders and promote local capacity for farming development and the scientific collaboration between Sweden and Tanzania. Both molecular and more traditional techniques will be used. Ecophysiological studies under controlled and in situ conditions will tell the strains´ commercial quality and stress tolerance. The results will be jointly published in scientific journals and by outreach to stakeholders with open workshops, and contribute to improve the sustainability of seaweed farming and thereby secure its ability for providing continuous poverty reduction in East Africa. Kan inhemska alger rädda Östafrikas algodlingar? Algodling hör framtiden till.

Förhoppningen är att odlandet skall fortsätta expandera, samtidigt försämrar klimatförändringarna algernas produktivitet och kvalitet vilket inneburit minskade skördar och inkomster. Ny forskning visar även att de odlade algerna som ursprungligen kommer från Asien sprider sig till områden utanför odlingarna där de har blivit vanliga och har negativ påverkan på den inhemska algfloran. Tillsammans innebär detta att den hitintills framgångsrika Östafrikanska algodlingen står inför stora utmaningar. Detta samarbetesprojekt syftar till att förbättra den Östafrikanska algodlingens potential till att även i fortsättningen vara högproduktiv och bidra till fattigdomsbekämpning, men även till att minimera dess negativa ekologiska påverkan. En orsak till problemet är klimatförändringar med förhöjda vattentemperaturer som gör att algerna växer sämre och eventuellt även gör dem mer mottagliga för sjukdomar. Det finns farhågor att de odlade asiatiska algernas oförmåga att anpassa sig till förändringarna beror att deras genetiska diversitet är för liten. I projektet kommer svenska och Tanzaniska forskare att tillsammans kartlägga populationer av inhemska afrikanska alger och undersöka om någon eller några har de kvaliteter som krävs för att vara kommersiellt odlingsbara. Detta kommer att testas i en rad försök där algernas tillväxt och kvalitet jämförs då de odlas under olika miljöförhållanden, t ex under höga temperaturer. På detta sätt kan odlingsbara inhemska alternativ till de asiatiska algerna identifieras. Projektet kommer även att ge ökad kunskap om hur de odlade varianterna spridit sig och hur de konkurrerar med de inhemska algerna samt hur de påverkar ekosystemens funktion mer generellt. P g a spridningsrisken och dess negativa följder bör ytterligare introduktion av asiatiska varianter för att vitalisera de afrikanska odlingarna om möjligt undvikas. Projektets mål att hitta inhemska varianter och arter som går att odla kommersiellt är därför av avgörande betydelse för att upprätthålla och utveckla den Östafrikanska algodlingen. Behovet av en mer uttalad och förbättrad förvaltning av befintliga vilda algbestånd kommer projektet också att undersöka. Detta för att säkerställa algernas diversitet och produktivitet . Resultatet av studien förväntas kunna förbättra och säkra produktiviteten i de östafrikanska algodlingarna, främst genom en ökad diversitet, vilket kommer att stärka de lokala algodlarnas situation och utkomst. Resultaten kommer även att ge information som kan förbättra riskanalyser i samband med introduktion av främmande arter som liksom den nya samlade kunskapen om algernas fysiologi och egenskaper kan komma att få betydelse även för algodlare utanför Östafrika och vattenbruket i stort.

WHO har efterlyst speciella satsningar på livmoderhals- och bröstcancer i låg- och medelinkomstländerna. Den ökade incidensen i bröstcancer beror på flera faktorer som förändringar i livsstil vid flytt från landbygd till stadsmiljö med en mer västerländsk livsstil (förändringar i kost, färre graviditeter och kortare amningsperioder). I Tanzania och andra afrikanska länder söder om Sahara är bröstcancer nu den näst vanligaste cancersjukdomen hos kvinnor. Många patienter avlider patienten utan att sjukdomen diagnostiseras. Stora framsteg har gjorts inom bröstcancerbehandling i t.ex. Europa. Detta förklaras av införande av mammografiscreening och nya behandlingar efter operation. Under senare år har forskning visat att bröstcancer kan ha en mycket varierande biologi och specifik testning leder till att en mer individanpassad behandling kan ges.

Scandinavia in general, and Uppsala in particular, has a strong research profile in empirically based peace research. In this project, we seek to combine the experiences of Swedish peace research with the local competence and contextual knowledge of our Nepali colleagues to establish a firmer basis for empirically oriented peace research in Nepal. The research collaboration focuses on Nepal’s 2006 nonviolent uprising. Popular nonviolent uprisings have been a powerful force of change in many developing countries around the world. Yet, the dynamics of nonviolent uprisings are poorly understood, especially in comparison to violent insurgencies. In particular, we do not yet know what drives people to actually participate in the uprisings. This project sets out to conduct a survey of 1,200 participants and non-participants in the 2006 nonviolent uprisings, with the aim to try to identify the micro-foundations for nonviolent mobilization. The research is embedded in a larger institutional exchange. By way of its focus, it will for the first time bring Nepal’s experiences of nonviolent uprisings to the fore, but also contribute to understanding the conditions under which individuals join nonviolent uprisings. Varför väljer vissa människor att ansluta sig till ickevåldsliga uppror, medan andra förblir passiva eller tar till vapen? Hur skiljer sig ickevåldsanhängares motivation från de som tar till våld för att lösa politisk konflikt? I likhet med den arabiska våren 2011 har ickevåldsuppror under de senaste åren fått alltmer uppmärksamhet i såväl media som i freds- och konfliktforskningen. Ett framgångsrikt ickevåldsuppror som lyckades nå sitt mål – regimskifte – är det folkliga upproret i Nepal år 2006. Dock har detta uppror studerats förvånansvärt lite. I detta projekt ämnar vi upprätta ett forskningssamarbete mellan svenska och nepalesiska forskare för att stärka fredsforskningen i Nepal och studera 2006 års ickevåldsuppror. Det övergripande syftet med forskningsstudien är att söka belysa de underliggande orsakerna – de kausala mekanismerna – för människors beslut att delta i stora, folkliga ickevåldsuppror. Trots att många vetenskapliga studier publicerats på senare tid om ickevåldsuppror, så handlar de oftast om länder i stort – nästan inga studier fokuserar på människorna som faktiskt deltar, på gräsrotsnivå. För att förstå varför människor gick med i ickevåldsupproret kommer projektet att använda ett flertal forskningsmetoder: en enkätstudie med 1200 deltagare och icke-deltagare, 6-8 fokusgrupper, och omkring 20 djupintervjuer. Enkätstudien kommer att hjälpa oss att se breda trender: vilka är de som deltar i ickevåldsuppror, vad motiverade dem att ta till fredliga medel – istället för vapen – för att få till stånd politisk förändring? Fokusgrupperna och djupintervjuerna kommer att ge oss djupare kunskap, hur förklarar de som deltog (och inte) sina val? Till vilken grad spelar faktorer som t ex erfarenheter av krig och konflikt, psykologiska trauman från dessa upplevelser, och attityder omkring gender och jämlikhet? Projektet kommer bland annat att stödja en nepalesisk fredsforskare att komma till Uppsala för en kortare postdoc vistelse, samt för två svenska fredsforskare att besöka Nepal för att i samarbete med de nepalesiska kollegorna sätta upp och genomföra forskningsprojektet. Detta unika samarbete kommer att möjliggöra kompetensutveckling för båda parter. De nepalesiska forskarna innehar all expertis om upproret och landet; oumbärlig kunskap för att möjliggöra en välförankrad studie. De svenska forskarna bidrar med sin teoretiska och metodologiska kunskap från fredsforskningen; de kommer att träna upp ett forskningsteam i Nepal för att genomföra studien. På så vis bidrar projektet också till ett stärkande av fredsforskningen i Nepal, som är i sin begynnelse. Projektet kommer även att genomföra en workshop i Nepal, i syfte att kartlägga de institutionella forskningsmiljöerna för freds- och konfliktforskning som finns i landet. Resultatet av projektet kommer att presenteras på internationella konferenser och genom minst tre vetenskapliga tidskriftsartiklar.

Till vilken grad spelar faktorer som t ex erfarenheter av krig och konflikt, psykologiska trauman från dessa upplevelser, och attityder omkring gender och jämlikhet? Projektet kommer bland annat att stödja en nepalesisk fredsforskare att komma till Uppsala för en kortare postdoc vistelse, samt för två svenska fredsforskare att besöka Nepal för att i samarbete med de nepalesiska kollegorna sätta upp och genomföra forskningsprojektet. Detta unika samarbete kommer att möjliggöra kompetensutveckling för båda parter. De nepalesiska forskarna innehar all expertis om upproret och landet; oumbärlig kunskap för att möjliggöra en välförankrad studie. De svenska forskarna bidrar med sin teoretiska och metodologiska kunskap från fredsforskningen; de kommer att träna upp ett forskningsteam i Nepal för att genomföra studien. På så vis bidrar projektet också till ett stärkande av fredsforskningen i Nepal, som är i sin begynnelse. Projektet kommer även att genomföra en workshop i Nepal, i syfte att kartlägga de institutionella forskningsmiljöerna för freds- och konfliktforskning som finns i landet. Resultatet av projektet kommer att presenteras på internationella konferenser och genom minst tre vetenskapliga tidskriftsartiklar.

Infektionssjukdomar är fortfarande en dödsorsak som drabbar människor, och framförallt barn, i utvecklingsländerna. Infektionssjukdomar är ett problem i samhället, men också i sjukhuset. Bakterier Shigella spp. och Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi båda orsakar förödande sjukdomar, shigellos och tyfus, främst hos barn i utvecklingsländerna med miljontals fall varje år med kumulativt över 1 miljon dödsfall. Shigella spp. är orsaken till bakteriell dysenteri eller shigellos, en invasiv gastrointestinal sjukdom, med 80-165.000.000 fall varje år världen över och cirka en miljon dödsfall . Shigella förökar sig intrecellulärt i tarmepitelet och sprider sig från cell till cell i epitelet vilken orsakar en karakteristisk sjukdomsbild med blodig diarré. S. typhi, på andra sidan, orsakar tyfoid feber , en systemisk sjukdom med 27 miljoner fall per år och uppskattningsvis 217.000 dödsfall årligen hela världen . Dessa siffror gör Shigella spp. och S. typhi infektioner till de ledande bakteriella orsaker av diarré i världen . Båda sjukdomarna överförs genom förorenad mat eller vatten. Den hygieniska tillstand särskilt i utvecklingsländerna gynnar spridningen av dessa sjukdomar. Lunginflammation är en vanlig komplikation hos patienter som kräver mekanisk ventilation, men också ett problem i samhället framför allt hos barn. Prevalens uppskattas varierar mellan 6 och 52 fall per 100 patienter beroende på befolkningsstudier. Klebsiella pneumoniae är den 6: e och 4: e och Enterobacter den 8: e och 5: e vanligaste känsliga och multiresistent patogen som orsakar ventilator associerad pneumoni i utvecklingsländerna. Det finns många regleringsmekanismer som styr virulens samt spridning av bakterier. En viktig mekanism är, till exempel, cyklisk di-GMP, en nukleotidbaserad intracellulär signalmolekyl. Den cykliska di-GMP -signalerings nätverk har inte undersökts i Shigella spp. , S. typhi och Enterobacter allts och bara lite i Klebsiella pneumoniae. Trots att den cykliska di -GMP signalerings nätverk är den mest komplexa nätverk av en sekundär budbärare i bakterier tills nu. En fundamental roll och kanske den viktigaste rollen för den cykliska di-GMP nätverket är regleringen av övergången mellan biofilmbildning och motilität samt övergången mellan akut och kronisk infektion. Dessa egenskaper gör att den cyklisk di-GMP -signalerings nätverk kan också vara ett mål för att utveckla nya anti-virulens strategier. I det här projektet vill vi karakterisera den cykliska di-GMP signalerings nätverk i modell stammar av S. Flexneri, S. Typhi, K. pneumoniae samt E. cloacae med hjälp av bioinformatik, genetiska och biokemiska analyser. Dessutom kommer vi att screena för anti-biofilm och antimikrobiella substanser i en samling av isolerade naturliga isolerade substanser och extrakt från växter och andra naturresurser. De mest effektiva substanser kommer att testas för sin molekylära verkningsmekanism. Effekterna av den cykliska di - GMP-system på biofilm bildning och virulens egenskaper kommer att undersökas med fokus på särdrag nätverkssignalerings mekanismer för den enstaka arten.

The will be possible to realize by the collaboration between Linköping University (LiU), Sweden and The Islamia University of Bahawalpur (IUB), Pakistan. The team at LiU has experience and facilities for growth of the material. The team at IUB has experience and facilities for electrical characterization of material and devices. The long term aim is to realize solar driven devices based on cubic SiC. Such devices include solar cells, water splitting, and biofuel cells. These devices can substantially save energy. In particular, solar cells in developing countries with lot of sunlight can provide energy sources to people that now has poor availability of electricity. The SiC has advantages in concentrated solar cells since the SiC conducts heat very efficiently. The cubic SiC doped with boron fits almost perfect into a model of highly efficient solar cells by the intermediate bandgap concept. In view of the scenario of the world and of the present situation of energy in Pakistan, it is a matter of extreme importance to develop cheap sources of energy. Solar energy benefits also include that there is no need long transmission line because it is much localized energy source. Therefore it is very important for Pakistan to developed technology of solar energy on emergency basis. Electricity for lighting will create possibilities to study for schools and education. Projektet undersöker ett nytt solcellskoncept baserad på kiselkarbid. Forskargruppen vid Linköpings universitet har många års erfarenhet av att framställa material. Forskargruppen vid The Islamia University of Bahawalpur har en stark bakgrund av elektrisk karakterisering av material och komponenter. Dessa forskargrupper matchar varandra för att kunna utveckla solcellsmaterialet. Återkoppling från elektriska studer ger information till framställningen om hur materialet kan optimeras. Samtidigt får forskargruppen vid The Islamia University of Bahawalpur tillgång till material inom ett område som kan resultera i energieffektivisering i Pakistan. Solcellsmaterialet har en förväntad effektivitet upp till 48-60% enligt teoretiska beräkningar. Detta kan jämföras med kisel som har en effektivitet på 20% i produktion, och de bästa forskningsresultaten från tunna filmer med multimaterial på ca 45%. Solceller kan spara enorma mängder energi. Idag finns ett stort behov av nya innovationer som bidrar till klimatlösningar. Dessutom kan kubisk kiselkarbid klara varma miljöer. Temperaturerna i Pakistan kan uppgå till över 50 grader, och många solcellsmaterial har svårt att prestera när de blir varma.

The long term aim is to realize solar driven devices based on cubic SiC. Such devices include solar cells, water splitting, and biofuel cells. These devices can substantially save energy. In particular, solar cells in developing countries with lot of sunlight can provide energy sources to people that now has poor availability of electricity. The SiC has advantages in concentrated solar cells since the SiC conducts heat very efficiently. The cubic SiC doped with boron fits almost perfect into a model of highly efficient solar cells by the intermediate bandgap concept. In view of the scenario of the world and of the present situation of energy in Pakistan, it is a matter of extreme importance to develop cheap sources of energy. Solar energy benefits also include that there is no need long transmission line because it is much localized energy source. Therefore it is very important for Pakistan to developed technology of solar energy on emergency basis. Electricity for lighting will create possibilities to study for schools and education. Projektet undersöker ett nytt solcellskoncept baserad på kiselkarbid. Forskargruppen vid Linköpings universitet har många års erfarenhet av att framställa material. Forskargruppen vid The Islamia University of Bahawalpur har en stark bakgrund av elektrisk karakterisering av material och komponenter. Dessa forskargrupper matchar varandra för att kunna utveckla solcellsmaterialet. Återkoppling från elektriska studer ger information till framställningen om hur materialet kan optimeras. Samtidigt får forskargruppen vid The Islamia University of Bahawalpur tillgång till material inom ett område som kan resultera i energieffektivisering i Pakistan. Solcellsmaterialet har en förväntad effektivitet upp till 48-60% enligt teoretiska beräkningar. Detta kan jämföras med kisel som har en effektivitet på 20% i produktion, och de bästa forskningsresultaten från tunna filmer med multimaterial på ca 45%. Solceller kan spara enorma mängder energi. Idag finns ett stort behov av nya innovationer som bidrar till klimatlösningar. Dessutom kan kubisk kiselkarbid klara varma miljöer. Temperaturerna i Pakistan kan uppgå till över 50 grader, och många solcellsmaterial har svårt att prestera när de blir varma.

Under det senaste decenniet har många exempel visat att interventioner som stödjer medborgarna att göra sin röst hörd och samarbeta med myndigheter har varit effektiva i att göra den offentliga sektorn mer lyhörd och ansvarstagande. I Guatemala har en intervention under de senaste nio åren i 20 kommunter arbetat med att ge stöd för en ökad insyn och övervakning av hälsovårdsmyndigheterna resultaterat i minskade nivåer av korruption och förbättrad kvalitet på tjänsterna. Men resultaten av dessa interventioner är beroende av komplexa processer som påverkas av sociala och politiska sammanhang. För att stärka hälso- och sjukvårdssystemens ansvar gentemot marginaliserade befolkningsgrupper i utvecklingsländer finns det ett behov av kunskap om de komplexa processer genom vilka maktrelationer är modifierade och förändring sker. Förutom att veta huruvida den här typen av interventioner är effektiva, så finnes det ett behov av att visa hur de fungerar, och vilka förutsättningara är för deras framgång.

Many people are dependent on fish as their primary source of protein, highlighting the need to manage this resource correctly. Much is known about separate coastal habitats, however, little is known about how they are interconnected by migrating fish and dependent on each other. Understanding these links (connectivity) and when and where links are broken is crucial. This project aims to (1) study thresholds in connectivity in order to understand the consequences of fragmentation on fish supply in multiple habitats, and (2) include local ecological knowledge (LEK) to complement scientific knowledge and engage local fishers in management of marine resources. Landscape ecology, using Geographical Information Systems (GIS) combined with fish census, and semi-structured interviews with local fishers’ will be applied. Field trips and workshops involving both PhD/Master students and senior scientists will be conducted in East Africa (Tanzania/Mozambique) and Sweden once or twice a year to maintain collaboration and knowledge exchange between scientists from all regions. Furthermore, the project aims to build a scientific/ collaborative platform from which new grant proposals can be applied in order to secure long-term collaboration between involved applicants. I många tropiska områden bildar mangrove, sjögräsängar och korallrev en mosaik av habitat, ofta kallat ett tropiskt havslandskap. Vi har ganska goda kunskaper om vart och ett av dessa habitat men vi vet lite om hur dessa är länkade till varandra och hur havslandskapet fungerar som helhet. Vandrande fiskar utgör en av de viktigaste länkarna i havslandskapet. Många korallrevsfiskar växer t.ex. upp i mangrove eller sjögräsområden och flyttar sedan till korallreven när de blir större. Flertalet korallrevsfiskar simmar även mellan korallrev och sjögräs för att äta och bidrar därmed till att kontrollera populationerna av födodjur i sjögräs och utbytet av energi och närsalter mellan habitaten. Forskning runt Zanzibar i Tanzania har visat att hälften av alla korallrevsfiskarter utnyttjar mer än ett habitat och nästan en femtedel utnyttjar mangrove och sjögräs som uppväxtområden. Dessa resultat visar verkligen hur sammanlänkade habitaten kan vara i tropiska länder. Under de senaste decennierna har över 30 % av jordens mangrove-, sjögräs-, och korallområden minskat. Mängden fisk har också minskat avsevärt världen över. Då fisk utgör den främsta källan till protein för människor som bor längst kustområden i Afrika, har en minskning av fisk och deras uppväxtområden en förödande effekt. Målet med denna studie är därför att fylla informationsluckor i förståelsen för hur olika områden är länkade för att på så sätt bättre kunna förvalta ekosystemtjänster (t.ex. fiske) kopplade till de olika habitaten i havslandskapet. Vi vill med denna studie besvara frågor som; hur mycket kan ett habitat i ett område reduceras i utbredning (dvs. fragmenteras) innan dessa viktiga länkar bryts? Vilka avstånd är kritiska mellan olika habitat för att upprätthålla länkar? Finns det tröskelvärden då biodiversiteten och abundansen av fisk drastiskt minskar pga. brutna länkar? För att studera dessa frågor kommer vi att använda oss av lanskapsekologiska metoder utvecklade för terrestra miljöer. Denna metod har nyligen börjat användas i marina miljöer och har visat sig vara en lämplig metod att testa konnektiviet (länkar) i tropiska områden. Habitatkartor i kombination med insamlad fiskdata (abundans och diversitet) kommer att användas för att med hjälp av Geografiska informationssystem (GIS) kunna finna olika tröskelvärden då länkar bryts. Vi kommer även att intervjua fiskare om deras lokala ekologiska kunskaper (Local Ecological Knowledge, LEK) om uppväxt- och födoområden för viktiga fiskarter för att komplettera vetenskaplig information med lokalkännedom. Vidare hoppas vi på detta sätt kunna öka intresset och engagemanget hos lokala fiskare i kustförvaltningen, något som tidigare varit ett problem i många fattiga länder. För att utföra dessa studier har ett sammarbete påbörjats mellan Sverige, Tanzania och Mocambique.

Forskning runt Zanzibar i Tanzania har visat att hälften av alla korallrevsfiskarter utnyttjar mer än ett habitat och nästan en femtedel utnyttjar mangrove och sjögräs som uppväxtområden. Dessa resultat visar verkligen hur sammanlänkade habitaten kan vara i tropiska länder. Under de senaste decennierna har över 30 % av jordens mangrove-, sjögräs-, och korallområden minskat. Mängden fisk har också minskat avsevärt världen över. Då fisk utgör den främsta källan till protein för människor som bor längst kustområden i Afrika, har en minskning av fisk och deras uppväxtområden en förödande effekt. Målet med denna studie är därför att fylla informationsluckor i förståelsen för hur olika områden är länkade för att på så sätt bättre kunna förvalta ekosystemtjänster (t.ex. fiske) kopplade till de olika habitaten i havslandskapet. Vi vill med denna studie besvara frågor som; hur mycket kan ett habitat i ett område reduceras i utbredning (dvs. fragmenteras) innan dessa viktiga länkar bryts? Vilka avstånd är kritiska mellan olika habitat för att upprätthålla länkar? Finns det tröskelvärden då biodiversiteten och abundansen av fisk drastiskt minskar pga. brutna länkar? För att studera dessa frågor kommer vi att använda oss av lanskapsekologiska metoder utvecklade för terrestra miljöer. Denna metod har nyligen börjat användas i marina miljöer och har visat sig vara en lämplig metod att testa konnektiviet (länkar) i tropiska områden. Habitatkartor i kombination med insamlad fiskdata (abundans och diversitet) kommer att användas för att med hjälp av Geografiska informationssystem (GIS) kunna finna olika tröskelvärden då länkar bryts. Vi kommer även att intervjua fiskare om deras lokala ekologiska kunskaper (Local Ecological Knowledge, LEK) om uppväxt- och födoområden för viktiga fiskarter för att komplettera vetenskaplig information med lokalkännedom. Vidare hoppas vi på detta sätt kunna öka intresset och engagemanget hos lokala fiskare i kustförvaltningen, något som tidigare varit ett problem i många fattiga länder. För att utföra dessa studier har ett sammarbete påbörjats mellan Sverige, Tanzania och Mocambique. Vi har hunnit göra en del studier i Tanzania, men studier på länkar i Mocambiques havslandskap saknas. Kunskaperna från våra tidigare studier i Tanzania kan därför komma till användning i Mocambique genom detta sammarbete. Omvänt finns det även viktig kunskap och erfarenhet av tropiska system i Mocambique som i sin tur kan komma till användning i Tanzania genom sammarbetet. Tre forskare, en från varje land, kommer att leda arbetet och träffas under fältarbeten och workshops samt hjälpas åt att handleda och utbilda doktorander och master- studenter inom projektet. Två fältstudier kommer att utföras, en i Tanzania under 2016 där tröskelvärden för länkar inom havslandskapet ska undersökas och en i Mocambique under 2017 där interview-baserade studier på lokalkännedom om habitatlänkar ska undersökas. Två workshops kommer även äga rum, en i samband med fältresan i Mocambique och en i Sverige där berörda forskare kommer att träffas för att diskutera resultat, skriva artiklar och planera nya ansökningar för att försäkra ett långsiktigt sammarbete mellan forskarna inom detta projekt.

To date, there is no established medical regimen for 2nd trimester PAC, instead unsafe methods (sharp curettage) are used. Our previous study in Uganda confirm the efficacy of medical management by midwives in 1st trimester PAC. We now aim to study efficacy and safety of medical vs. surgical treatment for 2nd trimester PAC in a randomised controlled trial. 1030 women, seeking care for incomplete 2nd trimester abortion at six health facilities in central Uganda, will be included. The use of sharp curettage will be monitored and evaluated during implementation. Primary outcome is the efficacy of treatment to expel the retained tissue without any additional surgical treatment. Secondary outcomes include safety, acceptability and contraceptive uptake. A study coordinating centre will be established in Kampala. Close collaboration between partner-researchers will facilitate study conduct (2016-2018). Preparations and training will occur during 2016, followed by recruitment during 2016-17 and data cleaning and analyses in 2018. Throughout the study period, in-service training of medical management in PAC will be held, workshops and policy-dialogues with stakeholders will be held to tailor-make service guidelines and to lobby for inclusion of medical management in policy. Two dissemination seminars will be held in 2016 and 2018 Projektet syftar till att förebygga konsekvenserna av osäkra aborter genom att öka tillgången till säker behandling av inkompletta aborter, samt öka kvinnors tillgång till effektiva preventivmedel. Stort fokus läggs vid att kommunicera forskningsresultat till intressenter och beslutsfattare i syfte att uppdatera policy och kliniska riktlinjer i Uganda och liknande kontexter. Varje år dör 100000 kvinnor till följd av cirka 20 miljoner årliga illegala aborter. Genom ökad tillgång till effektiva och säkra preventivmedel, abortmetoder och behandling av ofullständiga aborter inklusive missfall, så kallad ”Post Abortion Care” (PAC), kan dessa dödsfall förhindras. Traditionellt utförs PAC med kirurgiska metoder. Våra tidigare studier i Uganda har lett till en medicinsk behandling av ofullständiga 1a trimesteraborter genom användning av misoprostol (abortpiller). Denna behandling är säker och effektiv och kan utföras av barnmorskor inom primärvården, där tillgång till läkare och kirurgisk behandling ofta saknas. De allra flesta komplikationer och dödsfall efter osäkra aborter sker dock i senare graviditeter, under 2a trimestern. Kirurgisk behandling vid 2a trimester PAC är komplicerad och görs ofta med osäkra metoder av oerfaren vårdpersonal. I dagsläget finns ingen etablerad medicinsk behandling i 2a trimester PAC. Preventivmedel och rådgivning ingår också i PAC. För framgångsrik implementering av forskningsresultat är det viktigt att involvera intressenter i ett tidigt skede, samt nå ut till målgruppen genom att använda etablearde verktyg för kunskapsöverföring (policy-dialog, workshops, seminarier). Projektet genomförs på distriktsnivå i centrala Uganda där avsaknad av kunskap om, tillgång till, och stigma kring preventivmedel leder till oönskade graviditeter med efterföljande osäkra aborter. Ökad tillgänglighet till säker PAC behandling för kvinnor i allmänhet, men framförallt utsatta kvinnor på landsbygden, kan minska dödlighet och sjuklighet i relation till osäkert utförda aborter. Hälsoministerierna liksom WHO anser det nödvändigt att minska den höga mödradödligheten. Forskningsprojektet kommer att utföras i samarbete med Ugandas hälsoministerie samt engagera intressenter från start. Dessutom vill projektet ta avstamp i gruppens tidigare forskning för att skapa intresse och initiera strategiskt arbete, utbildning och påverkansarbete från start. Medverkande Ugandiska forskare kommer öka projektets genomförbarhet och sörja för kommunikation med intressenter. För att utvärdera misoprostol som behandling vid ofullständig abort i 2a trimestern jämfört med kirurgisk behandling planeras en randomiserad kontrollerad studie. Projektet kommer även övervaka användandet av osäkra metoder under implementeringsfasen. För att påverka policy och praxis kommer policy-dialoger, workshops och utbildningar hållas kontinuerligt. 1030 kvinnor som söker vård för ofullständig 2a trimester abort på olika vårdcentraler/distriktssjukhus lottas till kirurgisk eller medicinsk behandling. Utfallen som analyseras är fullständig abort utan komplikation, kvinnans acceptans och val av preventivmedel. Projektet kommer att ge ny information om 2a trimester PAC med misoprostol med avseende på effektivitet, säkerhet och kvinnans acceptans. Om en medicinsk behandling är minst lika effektiv som kirurgi kan detta öka kvinnors tillgänglighet till säker behandling av ofullständig abort på primärvårdsnivå och minska användningen av osäkra metoder, samt minska utgifter för hälsosystemet. Behovet av medicinsk behandling har också blivit tydligt under Ebolakrisen för att hantera inkompletta aborter och missfall utan direkt kontakt med kvinnan. En medicinsk behandling kan potentiellt utföras av barnmorskor. Därutöver kan projektet leda till förbättrad preventivmedelsrådgivning.

There is an extensive literature documenting a relationship between high temperatures, conflict and poor economic performance (Burke et al 2009, Burke et al 2013). There is also a growing literature addressing how environmental factors and neurobiology influence economic choices. This includes work on the psychology of poverty, hunger and stress (Mani et al, 2013, Bushman et al 2014, Haushofer and Fehr 2014). However, little is known about how individual decision making is influenced by temperature. The core questions that will be studied in this reséarch project are: 1. What are the behavioral responses to variation in temperature? 2. What are the (neurobiological) mechanisms causing the behavioral responses? 3. Does temperature affect ethnic biases? We will conduct two experiments to study these questions, one that is concerned with causal effects from temperature on standard economic choices as well as stress and cognitive performance, and another that nails down the effect of temperature on ethnic biases, and so-called in-group versus outgroup effects. The data collected will help us study how stress and mental fatigue may influence the decision making of the poor, how ehtnic biases and conflicts are influenced and potentially induced by high temperature, and as a result how climate change may affect the outcomes for the poor. Människors beteende är komplicerat. Vi vet att beteende påverkas av resurstillgång såväl som många andra faktorer och omständigheter så som fysiska miljöer. Ekonomer har länge försökt skapa modeller för beteende i ekonomiska sammanhang, så som konsumenters reaktioner på pris- och inkomstförändringar såväl som allokeringsbeslut inom hushåll (Stone, 1954; Becker, 1974). Sedan 1960-talet har ekonomiska experiment i s k datalab blivit ett alltmer populärt verktyg, ett verktyg som har gjort det möjligt att studera beteende som inte så enkelt kan identifieras utifrån standard (konsumtions) data (Smith, 1962, Smith, 1982). Uppkomsten av experimentella metoder gav även upphov till vad som har kallats beteendeekonomi, där målet har varit att införliva psykologisk realism (Tversky and Kahneman, 1979) i ekonomiska beteendemodeller. Syftet med detta forskningsprojekt är att bidra till denna litteratur genom att studera psykologiska reaktioner och beteendereaktioner på en specifik del av den fysiska omgivningen, dvs höga och låga temperaturer. Det finns en omfattande litteratur som dokumenterar ett samband mellan höga temperaturer, konflikt och dålig ekonomisk utveckling (Burke m fl 2009; Burke m fl 2013). En mycket viktig fråga inom utvecklingsekonomi är sålunda att precisera den bakomliggande mekanismen för sambandet mellan hög temperatur och dåliga ekonomiska utfall. Det finns också en växande litteratur som behandlar hur miljöfaktorer och neurobiologi påverkar ekonomiska val. Detta innefattar arbeten rörande fattigdomens psykologi, hunger och stress (Mani m fl, 2013; Bushman m fl 2014; Haushofer och Fehr 2014). Emellertid så är det ganska okänt hur individuellt beslutsfattande påverkas av temperatur. Tre kärnfrågor är: 1. Vilka är beteendereaktionerna på temperaturvariationer? 2. Vilka är de (neurobiologiska) mekanismerna som skapar beteendereaktioner? 3. Påverkar temperatur etniska snedvridningar? Detta forskningsprojekt kommer i viss utsträckning att behandla samtliga dessa frågor, men huvudfokus i forskningen kommer att ligga på den första och den tredje frågan. Då detta utgör ett nytt forskningsområde, har vi inga starka hypoteser om hur beteende förändras med temperatur. (Flera psykologiska studier rapporterar en ökad aggression, men det är inte uppenbart vad detta innebär för ekonomiskt beslutsfattande; se Burke m fl (2013) för en referens). Därför föreslår vi ett första experiment för att testa flera standardekonomiska val och utfall inklusive tilltro, prosocialt beteende, risktagande och tålamod. Det andra experimentet som vi föreslår är utformat för att identifiera potentiella effekter av temperaturer på etnisk-specifika snedvridningar och s k ”inomgrupps-” och ”utomgrupps” effekter som är relaterade till etnicitet. Det senare experimentet kommer sålunda att ha betydelse för litteraturen rörande konflikter i afrikanska länder. En litteratur som är relaterad till den andra frågan rörande mekanismerna för beteendeförändringar, är den litteratur som rör fattigdomens psykologi. Denna litteratur har identifierat att stress och mental utmattning är nyckelmekanismer för hur fattigdom påverkar beslutsfattande (Mani m fl, 2013; Haushofer och Fehr 2014). Vi tror att det kan vara möjligt att identifiera liknande mekanismer som förklarar hur temperaturer påverkar beteende och vi kommer i experimentet att testa hur temperaturen orsakar förändringar i testresultat för stress (som mäts genom salivprov) såväl som kognitiva testresultat.

Three substudies will be done: i) To develop a near-full-length-genome protocol adopted for HIV strains in Bangladesh; ii) To develop a phylogeographic model for cluster analysis by integrating virus sequences with epidemiological, demographical and behavioural data, to understand the dynamics of transmission; iii) To validate and implement the model in Bangladesh to inform and support preventive measures. Project description and mode of cooperation The KI researchers will develop two cost-effective and simplified tools: i) a full-genome sequencing assay (NFLG) based on modern next generation sequencing; ii) an high-resolution Bayesian phylogeographic model. By combining the methods, we will creat a powerful tool to understand the spatial and temporal movements of HIV. A larg number of plasma samples (n= 400) will be analysed from clients attending an HIV Testing and Counselling (HTC) services at Dhaka Hospital. The virus full-genome sequence data will be analysed together with epidemiological, demographical, and behavioural data. The design of the study is done together by the partners from KI and Bangladesh. The initial development of the assay and the phylogeopgraphic model will be done at KI. Thereafter the methods are transferred to Vi avser att utveckla en ny metod för att bättre kunna beskriva och följa befintliga och nya nätverk av hiv-1 infektioner i Bangladesh. Genom att analysera en begränsad del av hivs arvsmassa har vi tidigare konstaterat att hiv-1 har introducerats ett flertal gånger i Bangladesh från närliggande länder och genom gästarbetare som återvänder från Mellersta östern. Vi har nu utvecklat en kostnadseffektiv sekvenseringsmetod som kan kartlägga nästan hela HIV-1 genomet (kallad NFLG). Dessutom arbetar vi med att vidareutveckla fylogeografiska metoder i vilka vi kombinerar virusets gensekvenser med epidemiologiska, kliniska och beteende-data för att få information om hiv-1 stammarnas rörelse i tid och rum i ett land. Genom att kombinera dessa metoder kommer vi att få ett kraftfullt verktyg för att följa hiv-1 epidemin i Bangladesh, följa spridningen av befintliga stammar och identifiera uppkomsten av nya stammar. Denna kunskap kommer att kunna användas som stöd för förståelsen för spridningen av hiv-1 och designen av preventiva åtgärder för att motverka detta.

Three substudies will be done: i) To develop a near-full-length-genome protocol adopted for HIV strains in Bangladesh; ii) To develop a phylogeographic model for cluster analysis by integrating virus sequences with epidemiological, demographical and behavioural data, to understand the dynamics of transmission; iii) To validate and implement the model in Bangladesh to inform and support preventive measures. Project description and mode of cooperation The KI researchers will develop two cost-effective and simplified tools: i) a full-genome sequencing assay (NFLG) based on modern next generation sequencing; ii) an high-resolution Bayesian phylogeographic model. By combining the methods, we will creat a powerful tool to understand the spatial and temporal movements of HIV. A larg number of plasma samples (n= 400) will be analysed from clients attending an HIV Testing and Counselling (HTC) services at Dhaka Hospital. The virus full-genome sequence data will be analysed together with epidemiological, demographical, and behavioural data. The design of the study is done together by the partners from KI and Bangladesh. The initial development of the assay and the phylogeopgraphic model will be done at KI. Thereafter the methods are transferred to Vi avser att utveckla en ny metod för att bättre kunna beskriva och följa befintliga och nya nätverk av hiv-1 infektioner i Bangladesh. Genom att analysera en begränsad del av hivs arvsmassa har vi tidigare konstaterat att hiv-1 har introducerats ett flertal gånger i Bangladesh från närliggande länder och genom gästarbetare som återvänder från Mellersta östern. Vi har nu utvecklat en kostnadseffektiv sekvenseringsmetod som kan kartlägga nästan hela HIV-1 genomet (kallad NFLG). Dessutom arbetar vi med att vidareutveckla fylogeografiska metoder i vilka vi kombinerar virusets gensekvenser med epidemiologiska, kliniska och beteende-data för att få information om hiv-1 stammarnas rörelse i tid och rum i ett land. Genom att kombinera dessa metoder kommer vi att få ett kraftfullt verktyg för att följa hiv-1 epidemin i Bangladesh, följa spridningen av befintliga stammar och identifiera uppkomsten av nya stammar. Denna kunskap kommer att kunna användas som stöd för förståelsen för spridningen av hiv-1 och designen av preventiva åtgärder för att motverka detta.

Liver cirrhosis is the major risk factor for the development of HCC. In Ghana, liver cancer kills more adults than any other malignancy. Recent studies suggested that the intestinal microflora, which is the main source of portal vein Lipopolysaccharide, plays a critical role in this process. This joint effort with research and clinical experts in liver cancer, cirrhosis, microbiota, and epidemiology in Ghana, US and Sweden will help us to better understand the role of the intestinal microflora in the inflammatory process of liver cirrhosis and its progression. Our hypothesis is that the composition of the gut microbiome to which the liver is exposed at an enhanced level during liver cirrhosis, plays a role in the oncogenesis attributed to cirrhosis. We will study this using a prospective cohort study design including a group of liver cirrhosis patients and its matched healthy controls in Ghana. We will collect fecal samples from patients and controls and DNA will be extracted and 16S rRNA sequenced. If our hypothesis is proven correct, it opens up the possibility that simple probiotic regimens may be useful for prevention of liver cancer in low resource settings that would have a tremendous impact on poverty reduction. We estimate that the study will last 3 years and full results available in the year following the completion of the study.

The aim of this collaborative research project is to examine the role of antigen diversity on the antibody response and acquired immunity against clinical episodes of malaria; with the overall purpose of identifying candidate antigens to be included in a multi-component malaria vaccine. The project will describe parasite diversity in relation to antibody responses and protective immunity in individuals with different degree of exposure within defined geographical regions in Ghana and Kenya, as well as in travellers experiencing first time infections. We will focus on a subset of antigens (n=10) that have been shown to be potential targets of protective immunity and include both conserved and polymorphic proteins. We will sequence the parasites collected from the community to define precisely the diversity at the selected loci, express these antigens and then analyse the antibody responses to conserved and diverse antigens. We will specifically investigate combinations of antigens and variants of antigens to which antibodies confer protection. The project will use samples that are and have been collected within longitudinal well-established cohorts in Ghana and Kenya, as well as Swedish travelers. The proposed collaboration includes workshops and involves several PhD students including a joint PhD supervision between Ghana, Kenya and Sweden, and will be mutually beneficially for the research development of all partners. Malaria är ett av de stora globala hälsoproblemen. Detta projekt ämnar bidra till utvecklingen av ett vaccin mot malaria. Under de senaste åren har stora insatser gjorts för att bekämpa malaria. Omfattande utdelning av myggnät och mer effektiva läkemedel har minskat utbredning av infektionen i många länder. Trots detta uppskattar Världshälsoorganisation (WHO) att malaria orsakade 200 miljoner sjukdomsfall och 600 000 dödsfall endast under 2013. Ytterligare bekämpningsmetoder behövs för att minska sjukdomsbördan och ett effektivt vaccin mot malaria vore oerhört värdefullt verktyg i denna kamp. Utveckling av ett vaccin mot malaria har visat sig vara komplicerad. Malariaparasiten har många olika antigen som uttrycks under olika stadier i livscykeln och många antigen är mycket variabla, och det finns många stammar av parasiten. Nyligen har ett första vaccin prövats i så kallad fas 3 studie och visade ca 30-50% skyddseffekt hos barn. Detta vaccin och de flesta andra vaccinkandidater består endast av en variant av ett malaria antigen. Epidemiologisk forskning visar att individer som bor i malariaområden är mer skyddade om de har antikroppar mot flera olika antigen och andra studier visar att förekomsten av många stammar påverkar skyddet mot malaria. Ett vaccin som innehåller flera antigen bedöms därför kunna ge ett bättre skydd. Frågan är om det behövs antikroppar mot flera olika antigen eller flera varianter av de mest variabla antigenen. I detta projekt önskar vi undersöka betydelsen av genetiska variationen inom tio antigen som nyligen visat sig vara de mest intressanta för antikroppsskydd mot malaria. Vi ämnar undersöka hur den antigena mångfalden inom dessa antigen är inom två olika geografiska områden med olika transmission i Ghana (hög transmission) och Kenya (låg-medel transmission). Genom att sekvensera och uttrycka antigen från respektive geografiskt område kan vi sedan undersöka förekomsten av antikroppar mot dessa antigen och om olika typer av antikroppssvar är kopplat till skydd mot att insjukna i malaria. Vi planerar att studera antikroppssvar under första infektionerna hos barn i Ghana som följs under två år efter födelsen och jämföra dessa immunsvar vid förstagångsinfektioner hos svenska resenärer som behandlats för malaria i Sverige. Vi planerar även på sikt att utröna betydelsen av asymptomatiskt bärarskap av parasiter hos befolkningen i malaria område genom att studera hur antikroppssvar påvekas i en behandlingsstudie. Projektet innefattar nya samarbeten med forskare i Ghana samt fortsatt samarbete i Kenya. Flera doktorander kommer att vara delaktiga i projektet och en ghanansk student planeras registreras vid Karolinska Institutet med gemensam handledning av samtliga samarbetspartners och göra del av projektet i Kenya samt Sverige.

I samband med dessa möten kommer projektets olika studier att planeras i detalj och på sikt sammanställning av data till vetenskapliga publikationer. Projektet förväntas bidra till utvecklingen av ett multi-komponentvaccin mot malaria och även kommer att bidra till vetenskaplig utveckling inom forskningsfältet samt de respektive medverkande parter.

Det här forskningsprojektet behandlar "nationellt ägarskap" och "lokalt deltagande" i det internationella utvecklingsbiståndet, och den eventuella kopplingen mellan dem. Syftet är att undersöka vad som händer med det lokala deltagandet när det nationella ägarskapet ökar. Lokalt deltagande har länge varit starkt åberopat inom utvecklingsdebatten och det internationella utvecklingssamarbetet, något som de flesta aktörer har kunnat enas om som eftersträvansvärt. Men med den "nya biståndsarkitekturen", som kom att växa fram från millennieskiftet, har ett annat begrepp blivit dominerande: nationellt ägarskap anses helt central för att biståndet ska vara effektivt Både lokalt deltagande och nationellt ägarskap är i sig mångtydiga begrepp, och projektet utgår ifrån att nationellt ägarskap inte nödvändigtvis, så som vanligtvis antas, främjar lokalt deltagande. Tidigare forskning tyder snarare på att, för att förverkliga nationellt ägarskap krävs en stark centralmakt, vilket kan antas missgynna lokalt deltagande. Projektet bygger på kvalitativa och jämförande fallstudier av Kambodja och Rwanda, och av tre större utvecklingsrelaterade program i vart och ett av dem.

Graden och typen av ägarskap har dock sett olika ut i de båda länderna. I båda fallen har ägarskapet efter hand stärkts, men av delvis olika skäl och det har hela tiden varit betydligt starkare i Rwanda än i Kambodja. I båda länderna har det lokala deltagande varit väldigt begränsat, och de många ambitiösa försök som har gjorts att förändra detta, har varit i olika grad initierade och drivna av internationella biståndgivare. De program som studeras är (1) decentraliseringsreformen, (2) policyn för lokal skogshantering, och (3) lagen om enskilda organisationer.

This question is surprisingly underexplored. Understanding when citizens pay taxes and why they find it relevant and purposeful is central for answering this question. Tax compliance is a major concern in developing countries and particularly in Sub-Saharan Africa, in order to reduce dependency of foreign aid and increase state revenues for providing adequate health, educational and infrastructural services for their populations. In a nutshell, taxes are needed to build capable states that can provide for their citizens. Remarkably, taxation has not figured centrally on the agenda among scholars working on statebuilding in Africa or the African voter. Determinants of willingness to pay taxes in developing countries need to be scrutinized using an insiders' perspective of what it means to be a tax payer on an everyday basis across different socioeconomic groups. This project expands on current explanations through focusing on the social practice of taxes; when, how and where taxation occurs and how this practice forms part of the everyday for ordinary citizens. This is studied through an ethnographic study of the practices surrounding tax payment in three cases in Sub-Saharan Africa (Lesotho, Tanzania and Zambia), where the willingness to pay taxes and the relative tax burden vary. A comparative micro-study of citizens' experience with taxes, using interviews and observations, will reveal the room for building a tax paying culture. Skatteindrivning är centralt för statens kapacitet och legitimitet. Varför medborgarna tycker det är meningsfullt att betala skatt har dock fått ytterst lite uppmärksamhet, än mindre hur den vardagliga praktiken av att betala skatt ser ut i utvecklingsländer. För att förstå skatteviljan behöver vi förstå skattepraktiken: hur ser transaktionen ut; när sker den; var sker den; hur sker den; vem är inblandad? Skatteviljan är dock ett stort problem i utvecklingsländer, och särskilt i Afrika söder om Sahara. Samtidigt som dessa länder behöver minska sitt beroende av bistånd behöver de också öka statens intäkter för att kunna hantera framtidens utmaningar såsom klimatförändringar, fattigdom, bristande utbildning och ställa om till en hållbar utveckling. Skatter behövs för att bygga starka stater som kan förse sina medborgare med den hjälp och välfärd de behöver. Dock är skatteforskning inte på dagordningen när statsbyggnad i Afrika eller den afrikanska medborgaren studeras. Att rösta och att betala skatt är självklara medborgarhandlingar, men medborgaren som väljare har fått mer uppmärksamhet än medborgaren som skattebetalare. Forskning om skatter och beskattning i Afrika söder om Sahara har inte undersökt hur vanliga medborgare kommer i kontakt med skatt, eller hur man skapar mening kring skattebetalning trots att det är centralt för skatteviljan. Detta projekt utvecklar nuvarande förklaringar genom att fokusera på den sociala praktiken av skatt: i vilka sammanhang är skatt en del av vardagen, vilka lokala aktörer är inblandade och vilka symboliska filter aktiveras? Hur förstås skatteupplevelsen och vad motiverar medborgaren att betala skatt? Forskningen har tidigare utgått från västerländska förklaringsmodeller och idéer om staten. Vad som behövs är istället en teori som utgår från medborgarnas egna upplevelser och därmed byggs nerifrån och upp, med ett fokus på att förstå skatteefterlevnad snarare än skatteflykt. Genom en jämförande mikro-studie av medborgarnas skatteupplevelser i tre länder (Lesotho, Tanzania och Zambia) bidrar detta projekt med en ökad förståelse för hur dagens skattepraktik ser ut i dessa tre länder, men också i Afrika söder om Sahara mer generellt, då dessa länder representerar en bredd av skattesystem och olika typer av ekonomier. Skatteviljan och skatteuttaget varierar nämligen mellan dessa länder. För att genomföra en systematisk och jämförande studie av skattepraktiken i dessa länder, föreslår vi ett fokus på två typer av skatter (inkomstskatt och moms), vissa socioekonomiska grupper samt specifika platser. Datainsamlingen består av tre faser: 1) intervjuer med personal på de olika ländernas skatteverk; 2) fokusgruppsintervjuer kring skattepraktiken (var, när, hur, varför och med vem), samt 3) deltagande observationer på platser där skatt betalas eller är en del av vardagen. På så vis kommer projektet ge ett inifrånperspektiv på vad det innebär att vara skattebetalare i dessa länder. Datainsamlingen sker på samma sätt i alla tre länder. Med hjälp av intervjuer med skatteverken identifieras typiska grupper av skattebetalare av vissa skatter (moms och inkomstskatt). Troliga grupper är självförsörjande jordbrukare, lärare, tjänstemän samt personer som jobbar inom detaljhandeln, gruvindustrin och fabriker. Därefter genomförs fokusgrupper med just dessa yrkesgrupper. Fokusgruppsintervjuerna identifierar sedan vilka platser som är särskilt relevanta för skattepraktiken (som t.ex. den lokala skattemyndigheten, skatteindrivarens kontor och bankkontor i fråga om inkomstskatt och lokala marknadsplatser och butiker när det gäller moms) för att därefter genomföra observationer på dessa platser. Projektet kartlägger och beskriver skattepraktiken och därigenom hur skatteviljan formas. På så vis kan teorier om skattevilja som utgår från medborgarnas egna upplevelser utvecklas.

A comparative micro-study of citizens' experience with taxes, using interviews and observations, will reveal the room for building a tax paying culture. Skatteindrivning är centralt för statens kapacitet och legitimitet. Varför medborgarna tycker det är meningsfullt att betala skatt har dock fått ytterst lite uppmärksamhet, än mindre hur den vardagliga praktiken av att betala skatt ser ut i utvecklingsländer. För att förstå skatteviljan behöver vi förstå skattepraktiken: hur ser transaktionen ut; när sker den; var sker den; hur sker den; vem är inblandad? Skatteviljan är dock ett stort problem i utvecklingsländer, och särskilt i Afrika söder om Sahara. Samtidigt som dessa länder behöver minska sitt beroende av bistånd behöver de också öka statens intäkter för att kunna hantera framtidens utmaningar såsom klimatförändringar, fattigdom, bristande utbildning och ställa om till en hållbar utveckling. Skatter behövs för att bygga starka stater som kan förse sina medborgare med den hjälp och välfärd de behöver. Dock är skatteforskning inte på dagordningen när statsbyggnad i Afrika eller den afrikanska medborgaren studeras. Att rösta och att betala skatt är självklara medborgarhandlingar, men medborgaren som väljare har fått mer uppmärksamhet än medborgaren som skattebetalare. Forskning om skatter och beskattning i Afrika söder om Sahara har inte undersökt hur vanliga medborgare kommer i kontakt med skatt, eller hur man skapar mening kring skattebetalning trots att det är centralt för skatteviljan. Detta projekt utvecklar nuvarande förklaringar genom att fokusera på den sociala praktiken av skatt: i vilka sammanhang är skatt en del av vardagen, vilka lokala aktörer är inblandade och vilka symboliska filter aktiveras? Hur förstås skatteupplevelsen och vad motiverar medborgaren att betala skatt? Forskningen har tidigare utgått från västerländska förklaringsmodeller och idéer om staten. Vad som behövs är istället en teori som utgår från medborgarnas egna upplevelser och därmed byggs nerifrån och upp, med ett fokus på att förstå skatteefterlevnad snarare än skatteflykt. Genom en jämförande mikro-studie av medborgarnas skatteupplevelser i tre länder (Lesotho, Tanzania och Zambia) bidrar detta projekt med en ökad förståelse för hur dagens skattepraktik ser ut i dessa tre länder, men också i Afrika söder om Sahara mer generellt, då dessa länder representerar en bredd av skattesystem och olika typer av ekonomier. Skatteviljan och skatteuttaget varierar nämligen mellan dessa länder. För att genomföra en systematisk och jämförande studie av skattepraktiken i dessa länder, föreslår vi ett fokus på två typer av skatter (inkomstskatt och moms), vissa socioekonomiska grupper samt specifika platser. Datainsamlingen består av tre faser: 1) intervjuer med personal på de olika ländernas skatteverk; 2) fokusgruppsintervjuer kring skattepraktiken (var, när, hur, varför och med vem), samt 3) deltagande observationer på platser där skatt betalas eller är en del av vardagen. På så vis kommer projektet ge ett inifrånperspektiv på vad det innebär att vara skattebetalare i dessa länder. Datainsamlingen sker på samma sätt i alla tre länder. Med hjälp av intervjuer med skatteverken identifieras typiska grupper av skattebetalare av vissa skatter (moms och inkomstskatt). Troliga grupper är självförsörjande jordbrukare, lärare, tjänstemän samt personer som jobbar inom detaljhandeln, gruvindustrin och fabriker. Därefter genomförs fokusgrupper med just dessa yrkesgrupper. Fokusgruppsintervjuerna identifierar sedan vilka platser som är särskilt relevanta för skattepraktiken (som t.ex. den lokala skattemyndigheten, skatteindrivarens kontor och bankkontor i fråga om inkomstskatt och lokala marknadsplatser och butiker när det gäller moms) för att därefter genomföra observationer på dessa platser. Projektet kartlägger och beskriver skattepraktiken och därigenom hur skatteviljan formas. På så vis kan teorier om skattevilja som utgår från medborgarnas egna upplevelser utvecklas.

In a previous network project between Sweden, Ethiopia, Denmark and Guinea Bissau, we have developed a clinical scoring tool (TBscore) aimed for low resource settings, which may increase the diagnostic yield of TB. The tool is an immediately assessable clinical index which accurately describes the risk of active TB disease and mortality prognosis, requiring only limited training and no use of expensive reagents. We plan to conduct a cluster-randomised trial in 2017-19 at health care facilities in Ethiopia and Guinea Bissau to evaluate the TBscore for increasing the diagnostic yield of TB among TB suspects compared with standard care. The main outcomes will be increase in number of patients diagnosed with TB compared with baseline and standard care in nonintervention clinics and 6-month mortality. A central part is to maintain the link in the network which will be a strong benefit for all partners and will enable this multi-center randomized trial and build capacity for future clinical trials. The interaction will involve several capacity building parts such as training of post docs and PhD students as well as training in TB diagnosis, GCP and statistical methods. New case finding strategies adopted for high endemic areas are essential in order to reach the goal of reducing TB world-wide. Tuberkulos (TBC) är en sjukdom som oftast drabbar lungorna och orsakas av tuberkelbakterien. Årligen insjuknar omkring 9 miljoner och nära 1.5 miljoner dör i sjukdomen. WHO uppskattar att åtminstone 3 miljoner människor med TBC förblir odiagnostiserade vilket är en reservoar för fortsatt smittspridning. I väntan på ekonomisk utveckling i alla delar av världen och att fattiga länder skall utrustas med modern tuberkulosdiagnostik har vi utvecklat en snabb och tillförlitlig klinisk graderings-skala - TBscore. TBscore är utvecklad för högendemiska länder och kan öka andelen patienter som diagnosticeras med TBC. TBscore är ett kliniskt index som snabbt kan erhållas i fält utan några laboratorieprover eller dyr utrustning. Vi har i ett flertal tidigare studier i Guinea Bissau och Etiopien inom ett tidigare EU-stött nätverksprojekt visat att en hög TBscore korrelerar till ökad mortalitet och risk för aktiv TBC. Vi föreslår nu en jämförande studie vid vårdcentraler i Etiopien och Guinea Bissau under 2017-19 där TBscore används för att öka andelen patienter som diagnosticeras för TBC jämfört med den vanliga strategin utan TBscore. Vi kommer att jämföra andelen som diagnosticeras med TBC mellan grupperna samt mortalitet vid 6 månader. TBscore har potentialen att ge en strukturerad behandlingsuppföljning samt en bättre selektion av patienter som prioriteras för TBC-diagnostik vilket är av stor vikt för att öka andelen som diagnosticeras med TBC i högendemiska länder.

A majority of these deaths occur in the poorest countries in the world, in areas of underserved populations with inadequate access to health services. This dramatic picture calls for urgent attention. This research program aims to implement and study three innovative projects to improve child and maternal health outcomes in the Sub-Saharan Africa - the region where change is most desperately needed. The first part of this research program, experiments and evaluates two complementary approaches to the government system to ensure that basic health care is delivered to poor families: a Community Health Worker project in Uganda with a business incentive tied to it as well as a Voluntary Health Worker project in Nigeria focused on pregnant women. The second part of this program, goes beyond the traditional approaches and focus on women's participation in household production and decision-making, and increase exposure to important nutrition and hygiene interventions to study whether gender inequities is a barrier to improving children's health and malnutrition. All projects will be evaluated during the period 2017-2020 using a randomized controlled trial methodology and are expected to contribute to better understand how effective policies can be used to change the negative trend of children's health in the poorer part of the world. Cirka 5 miljoner barn under fem år dör varje år i södra Afrika och mer än hälften av dessa barn dör av sjukdomar som enkelt hade kunnat förebyggas eller behandlats med hjälp av beprövad och billig sjukvård. Kvinnor i södra Afrika löper mer än 300 gånger högre risk jämfört med kvinnor i utvecklade länder att dö under graviditet och förlossning av komplikationer som är behandlingsbara eller möjliga att förebygga. Denna dramatiska bild av barn- och mödradödlighet kallar på omedelbar uppmärksamhet för att förstå vilka hälsoprogram och metoder som fungerar samt hur effektiva program kan användas för att vända den negativa trenden. Den medicinska kunskapen för att bekämpa dödlighet av malaria, diarré och undernäring har varit tillgänglig i många år. Ändå dör miljontals av barn varje år i utvecklingsländer av dessa relativt enkelt behandlingsbara sjukdomar. Detta faktum visar på att medicinska lösningar inte är kärnan till problemet, utan det saknas kunskap om effektiva, implementerbara och hållbara sätt för att leverera dessa medicinska lösningar. Detta forskningsprojekt syftar till att undersöka hur man effektivt kan leverera grundläggande sjukvård i utvecklingsländer för att minska barn- och mödradödlighet. Projektet är uppdelat i två delar där syftet med den första delen är att bidra till bristen på bevis på effektiva och skalbara system för att leverera medicinska lösningar till fattiga människor. Inom forskningsfältet efterfrågas brådskande ett systematiskt forskningsprogram för att studera hur man bäst levererar basal hälsovård för att minska barn- och mödradödlighet. Detta är huvudhypotesen i den första delen av detta forskningsprojekt där jag rigoröst utvärderar två olika hälsosystem i Uganda och Nigeria som grundar sig på lokala frivilligarbetare inom hälsovård och utvärderar dess effekter på barn- och mödradödlighet. Den andra delen av detta forskningsprojekt grundar sig i existerande forskning om jämställdhet inom hushållen i utvecklingsländer och som visar att ökade resurser i händerna på kvinnor mer sannolikt används för att investera i nästa generation - barns hälsa, nutrition, och utbildning - jämfört med om resurserna hamnar i händerna på männen. Mot denna bakgrund implementerar idag frivilligorganisationer och regeringar i utvecklingsländer biståndsprogram som är fokuserade på att öka kvinnors rättighet och bestämmanderätt. Det existerar dock väldigt lite rigoröst bevis på effektiviteten av dessa program. Den andra delen av detta forskningsprojekt har som mål att studera detta genom att utvärdera två olika jämställdhetsprogram i Uganda - som ökar kvinnors bestämmanderätt i hushållen samt ger män essentiell kunskap om barn- och mödravård - och studerar dess effekter på barn och mödrars hälsa.

Den medicinska kunskapen för att bekämpa dödlighet av malaria, diarré och undernäring har varit tillgänglig i många år. Ändå dör miljontals av barn varje år i utvecklingsländer av dessa relativt enkelt behandlingsbara sjukdomar. Detta faktum visar på att medicinska lösningar inte är kärnan till problemet, utan det saknas kunskap om effektiva, implementerbara och hållbara sätt för att leverera dessa medicinska lösningar. Detta forskningsprojekt syftar till att undersöka hur man effektivt kan leverera grundläggande sjukvård i utvecklingsländer för att minska barn- och mödradödlighet. Projektet är uppdelat i två delar där syftet med den första delen är att bidra till bristen på bevis på effektiva och skalbara system för att leverera medicinska lösningar till fattiga människor. Inom forskningsfältet efterfrågas brådskande ett systematiskt forskningsprogram för att studera hur man bäst levererar basal hälsovård för att minska barn- och mödradödlighet. Detta är huvudhypotesen i den första delen av detta forskningsprojekt där jag rigoröst utvärderar två olika hälsosystem i Uganda och Nigeria som grundar sig på lokala frivilligarbetare inom hälsovård och utvärderar dess effekter på barn- och mödradödlighet. Den andra delen av detta forskningsprojekt grundar sig i existerande forskning om jämställdhet inom hushållen i utvecklingsländer och som visar att ökade resurser i händerna på kvinnor mer sannolikt används för att investera i nästa generation - barns hälsa, nutrition, och utbildning - jämfört med om resurserna hamnar i händerna på männen. Mot denna bakgrund implementerar idag frivilligorganisationer och regeringar i utvecklingsländer biståndsprogram som är fokuserade på att öka kvinnors rättighet och bestämmanderätt. Det existerar dock väldigt lite rigoröst bevis på effektiviteten av dessa program. Den andra delen av detta forskningsprojekt har som mål att studera detta genom att utvärdera två olika jämställdhetsprogram i Uganda - som ökar kvinnors bestämmanderätt i hushållen samt ger män essentiell kunskap om barn- och mödravård - och studerar dess effekter på barn och mödrars hälsa. Alla tre projekt i detta program implementeras och utvärderas under perioden 2017-2020 med randomiserade kontrollmetoder vilket är en välrenommerad kvantitativ utvärderingsmetod som rigoröst utvärderar effekten av olika interventioner och gör det möjligt att mäta den kausala effekten av programmen på barn- och mödradödlighet. Detta forskningsprojekt bidrar till den obesvarade forskningsfrågan om hur man bäst levererar grundläggande sjukvård till de mest behövande i fattiga delar av världen. Resultaten förväntas ge värdefulla insikter som kan påverka design och implementering av barn- och mödravårdsprogram i utvecklingsländer.

There is however a need to evaluate different implementation strategies that promote retention of resuscitation skills and facilitate translation of knowledge into clinical practice, and to scale-up such implementation strategies. We have previously successfully completed an implementation trial of HBB at a tertiary hospital in Kathmandu, Nepal. The HBB protocol was complemented by a Quality Improvement Cycle strategy (QIC) and displayed good retention of skills and significant changes in clinical practice. We now propose a scale-up study at district level of the HBB-QIC concept. The research project till apply a stepped-wedge cluster-randomized controlled design at eight (8) district hospital in different regions of Nepal. To ensure good health and survival for all is at the core of the development research agenda and this project addresses a neglected area with great potential for improvement. With a successful scale-up strategy the HBB-QIC concept can potentially have far-reaching consequences and make a huge contribution to the efforts to reduce the burden of intrapartum deaths. Trots stora framsteg de senaste 10-15 åren dör fortfarande mer än 5 miljoner barn om året under graviditet och den första månaden efter förlossning. Den största delen av dessa dödsfall går att undvika med enkla och kostnadseffektiva åtgärder. Världssamfundet har kommit överens om att öka överlevnaden under denna period och initiativet "Every Newborn Action Plan" har som mål att minska dödligheten med hälften till år 2035. För att detta ska ske behövs nya innovativa lösningar, inte bara i form av nya metoder eller mediciner utan framför allt genom nya sätt att omvandla den kunskap som redan finns till praxis. Detta forskningsfält, som får allt mer uppmärksamhet, implementeringsforskningen, syftar till att förstå hur praxis ändras och vilka metoder som fungerar i olika miljöer för att uppnå förändring. Ett område där vi vet vad som behöver göras men där kunskapen inte alltid omsätts till praxis är återupplivningen av nyfödda. Att födas är en stor fysiologisk omställning och runt 10% av alla nyfödda behöver hjälp för att komma igång med andningen och ta sitt första andetag. De allra flest behöver bara lätt stimulans för att komma igång med andningen, men runt 1% av alla nyfödda behöver ventileras, det som populärt kallas mun-mot-mun, även om det vanligen sker med en mask och ventileringsblåsa. Det räcker oftast med ett eller ett par andetag för att barnet ska komma igång med egen andning. Trots denna enkla åtgärd dör närmare en miljon barn om året för att de inte får hjälp att ta sitt första andetag, ett allvarligt exempel på bristande användning av kunskap. För att adressera problemet med bristande ventilering av nyfödda har den amerikanska pediatriska föreningen utvecklat förenklade kliniska riktlinjer och ett utbildningspaket för att få alla barn som inte andas spontant vid födseln att ventileras inom en minut, den s.k. Golden Minute. Detta koncept, som kallas Helping Babies Breathe (HBB), har utvärderats i olika miljöer och man ha kunnat visa på minskad barnadödlighet i samband med förlossning på runt 50% efter införandet av HBB. Ett problem vid dessa studier har dock varit att praxis snabbt återgår till hur det var före införandet och att vårdpersonalen inte gör de nya riktlinjerna till rutin. Vi utvecklade därför en strategi för att stärka införandet och uppmuntra vårdpersonalen att fortsätta använda det de lärt sig. Utbildningspaketet från HBB kompletterades med dagliga färdighetsövningar, avstämningsmöten och feedback på handläggning. Denna kvalitetsstärkande strategi (Quality Improvement Cycle) testades på ett regionsjukhus i Kathmandu, Nepal och vi fann inte bara en minskad dödlighet i samma nivå som tidigare studier (runt 50%), men även att vårdpersonalen fortsatte med de nya rutinerna vid uppföljning efter sex månader. Att testa ett koncept i en specifik miljö är en sak, men att få spridning och därmed lyckas införa ny a rutiner i ett helt hälsosystem kan vara en annan. Vi vill därför nu försöka att skala upp konceptet med HBB-QIC till distriktsnivå i Nepal och föreslår därför en stor studie på nio distriktssjukhus runt om i landet. Studien kommer att genomföras i samarbete med Patan Academy of Health Sciences och UNICEF Nepal. I Nepal föder fortfarande en stor andel av kvinnorna hemma, men intensiva kampanjer har minskat andelen hemförlossningar och allt fler barn föds på sjukhus. Det blir då än viktigare att kunna erbjuda vård med god kvalitet. Införandet av HBB-QIC kan vara en väg att åstadkomma detta. Den föreslagna studien kommer att använda s.k. stepped wedge randomisering, vilket innebär att alla sjukhus kommer att få del av den nya utbildningen eftersom den har bevisad effekt. Den primära forskningsfrågan är om det är möjligt att få lika bra effekt på barnaöverlevnaden när interventionen görs i stor skala, och vilka specifika svårigheter ett storskaligt införandet av dessa nya rutiner kan föra med sig.

A major problem contributing to its rapid spread and tragic consequences was the widespread belief in afflicted communities that the epidemic was caused by foreign sorcery and that biomedical relief teams sent in to control the disease were actually spreading the disease rather than combatting it. As a result, the emergency response teams met with strong and sometimes violent resistance from local communities, significantly hampering the Ebola eradication effort. The present project aims to explore (1) the reasons for this widespread resistance to the eradication effort and, particularly, its association with witchcraft/sorcery, and (2) why sorcery allegations were primarily directed against foreign medical personnel to the point that afflicted communities perceived themselves to be victims of 'western sorcery'? The project will run for three years and involve anthropological fieldwork and extensive library research. Fieldwork will be carried out in Guinea and involve participatory observation, collection of illness narratives, case studies of sorcery allegations and interviews with recovered patients and afflicted families, local health workers, traditional healers and members of international Ebola response teams. No similar comprehensive study of the Ebola epidemic has been carried out. Populärvetenskaplig beskrivning I december 2013 insjuknade och avled en ung pojke i byn Guéckédou i södra Guinea i Västafrika. Detta kom att bli inledningen på den största ebolaepidemin hittills i modern historia, ett utbrott som skulle komma bli större än alla tidigare ebolautbrott sammantaget och därmed också en av de största folkhälsoutmaningarna i världen sedan Andra Världskriget. Till skillnad från tidigare ebolautbrott - som ganska snabbt kom under kontroll - pågick detta utbrott längre och fick större geografisk spridning än något tidigare utbrott. Nyligen dokumenterade smittfall visar att epidemin fortfarande skördar liv. Världshälsoorganisationen (WHO) rapporterade i mars 2016 att epidemin totalt orsakat 28,646 smittofall varav 11,323 lett till döden. Epidemin drabbade främst Guinea, Liberia och Sierra Leone, men fall har också dokumenterats i ytterligare sju länder (Italien, Mali, Nigeria, Senegal, Spanien, England och USA). Liksom vid tidigare ebolautbrott har sjukdomen lokalt tolkats som ett resultat av häxeri, och häxerianklagelser har även drabbat insjuknade individer. Dessa föreställningar har dramatiskt försvårat hälsovårdsinsatserna. Hälsoarbetare har haft stora problem att få lokalbefolkningen att förstå de biomedicinska orsakerna till smittan och dess spridning och därigenom ge den nödvändiga vården. Detta motstånd var särskilt påtagligt i Guinea och har varit en viktig orsak till att det senaste ebolautbrottet fick så allvarliga proportioner. Dessutom dokumenterades en ny företeelse under det senaste utbrottet: hälsoarbetare, främst utländsk personal i internationella insatser, blev själva föremål för häxerianklagelser och beskylldes i flera byar för att medvetet sprida smittan. Detta försvårade hälsoarbetet och försatte personalen i livsfara när de i vissa fall utsattes för attacker från lokalbefolkningen. Mot bakgrund av denna problematik syftar forskningsprojektet till att undersöka drivkrafterna bakom detta motstånd från lokala befolkningen mot insatserna för att stävja epidemin. Varför uppstod detta motstånd, och varför riktades det särskilt mot utländsk personal? Viss dokumentation föreligger som delvis kan förklara fenomenet, bl a det faktum att många av de hälsorutiner som karakteriserar ebolabekämpning upplevs av lokalbefolkningen som främmande och suspekta: isoleringen av patienter, tagning av blodprover, omfattande skyddsåtgärder och användning av främmande utrustning och teknik mm. Projektet syftar till att analysera dessa reaktioner i ljuset av en bredare kunskap om de drabbade samhällenas kultur och samhälle - inte minst föreställningar om häxeri och lokala förklaringsmodeller till sjukdom och död. Förhoppningen är att denna typ av kunskap, tillsammans med mer specifik och detaljerad kunskap om de ovan nämnda reaktionerna mot läkare och vårdspersonal, skall göra det möjligt att mer effektivt genomföra hälsoinsatser i framtiden - och på så vis minska kunskaps- och kommunikationsglappet mellan lokalbefolkningen och personalen i de nationella och internationella hälsoinsatserna. Projektet planeras pågå i tre år (2017-2019) och innefatta litteraturstudier och antropologiskt fältarbete, främst i Nzérékoréregionen i södra Guinea där det första ebolafallet konstaterades i 2013. Det är också i denna region som nya ebolafall har bekräftats i mars i år (2016). Regionen är välbesökt av handelsmän och kvinnor från Guinea, Sierra Leone, Liberia och Elfenbenskusten. Litteraturstudierna omfattar tillgängliga rapporter om samtliga ebolaepidemier i Afrika liksom antropologiskt och historiskt material om sambanden mellan sjukdom, död och häxeri i de berörda samhällena och om häxeri som ett kulturellt och historiskt fenomen i allmänhet.

Habitat fragmentation has led to a reduction in pollinator communities worldwide but different pollinators are affected to different degrees. The Western Ghats are ione of the &quot;hottest biodiversity hotspots&quot; in the world. Our aim is to examine how the different native bee species utilize patchy, modified habitats, and to identify bee species that can cope with habitat modification. We will quantify the economic value of pollination services for small and marginal farmers, and develop strategies for the conservation of bees and thereby, augmenting farm incomes. This will be one of the first studies of effects of landscape structure on pollination services in the Asian tropics. Objective 1: To examine the role of landscape structure on foraging distances and navigation by social bees ranging from large carpenter bees, the Asian giant honeybee to the tiny stingless bees ( in structurally simple landscapes and in structurally complex landscapes. Objective 2: To examine the efficiency of native bee species as pollinators in agricultural landscapes and the effects of experimental augmentation of native bee colonies on crop yields in small farm holdings. Objective 3: To compare foraging performance of the western honeybee Apis mellifera and the native species Apis cerana on important wild and crop species. I detta projekt kommer vi att bedöma och värdera pollinering av bin som en ekosystemtjänst och för förbättring av jordbrukarnas inkomster i västra Ghats landskapet, i Indien. Habitat fragmentering har lett till en minskning av pollinerande insekter över hela världen. Men olika pollinatörer visar skillnader i tålighet eller sårbarhet för miljöförändringar. Västra Ghats-området är på UNESCOs världsarvslista och erkänd som en av de &quot;hetaste hotspots för biologisk mångfald&quot; i världen, med, till exempel, över 7402 arter av blommande växter (inbegripet 1438 odlade arter), och över 6000 arter av insekter (inbegripet över 100 bi-arter). Syftet med detta projekt är att undersöka hur olika inhemska bi-arter, inklusive honungsbin (Apis sp.), snickar-bin (Xylocopa sp.) och gaddlösa bin (Trigona sp.) navigerar och utnyttjar ojämna, modifierade landskap, och att använda denna kunskap för att identifiera bi-arter som klarar en sådan förändring av deras livsmiljö.

Mål 2: Att undersöka effektiviteten hos de inhemska bi-arter som pollinatörer i jordbrukslandskapet och effekterna av experimentell förstärkning med inhemska bikupor på skördar i små jordbruksföretag i västra Ghats landskapet. Mål 3: Att jämföra födosök- och pollineringsprestanda mellan västra honungsbiet Apis mellifera och systerarten, det asiatiska honungsbiet Apis cerana, för viktiga vilda och odlade växtarter. Detta projekt är det första försöket att förstå hur olika modifierade landskap påverkar bins navigering och födosök i en viktig, tätbefolkat och ekologiskt känsligt indiskt landskap som är en hotspot av biologisk mångfald. Resultaten från denna studie kommer att informera beslutsfattare om långsiktiga och hållbara insatser för bevarande av vilda bi-arter som pollinatörer. På längre sikt kommer detta projekt att vara det första steget i en långsiktig insats för att skapa hållbara lösningar för pollineringstjänster, och som ett konsekvens, bättre avkastning i ett område i Indien där fattigdomen är fortfarande en stort problem. De människor som bor i landsbygdssamhällen har en mycket nära koppling till naturen som omger dem, men de måste introduceras i för nya sätt att ta hand om naturen. Pollinering av grödor - och införande av åtgärder som förbättrar pollinering av grödor såsom grönsaker - har en mycket direkt och observerbar effekt, och därmed en stor pedagogisk potential att förbättra ekologiskt tänkande.

Habitat fragmentation has led to a reduction in pollinator communities worldwide but different pollinators are affected to different degrees. The Western Ghats are ione of the &quot;hottest biodiversity hotspots&quot; in the world. Our aim is to examine how the different native bee species utilize patchy, modified habitats, and to identify bee species that can cope with habitat modification. We will quantify the economic value of pollination services for small and marginal farmers, and develop strategies for the conservation of bees and thereby, augmenting farm incomes. This will be one of the first studies of effects of landscape structure on pollination services in the Asian tropics. Objective 1: To examine the role of landscape structure on foraging distances and navigation by social bees ranging from large carpenter bees, the Asian giant honeybee to the tiny stingless bees ( in structurally simple landscapes and in structurally complex landscapes. Objective 2: To examine the efficiency of native bee species as pollinators in agricultural landscapes and the effects of experimental augmentation of native bee colonies on crop yields in small farm holdings. Objective 3: To compare foraging performance of the western honeybee Apis mellifera and the native species Apis cerana on important wild and crop species. I detta projekt kommer vi att bedöma och värdera pollinering av bin som en ekosystemtjänst och för förbättring av jordbrukarnas inkomster i västra Ghats landskapet, i Indien. Habitat fragmentering har lett till en minskning av pollinerande insekter över hela världen. Men olika pollinatörer visar skillnader i tålighet eller sårbarhet för miljöförändringar. Västra Ghats-området är på UNESCOs världsarvslista och erkänd som en av de &quot;hetaste hotspots för biologisk mångfald&quot; i världen, med, till exempel, över 7402 arter av blommande växter (inbegripet 1438 odlade arter), och över 6000 arter av insekter (inbegripet över 100 bi-arter). Syftet med detta projekt är att undersöka hur olika inhemska bi-arter, inklusive honungsbin (Apis sp.), snickar-bin (Xylocopa sp.) och gaddlösa bin (Trigona sp.) navigerar och utnyttjar ojämna, modifierade landskap, och att använda denna kunskap för att identifiera bi-arter som klarar en sådan förändring av deras livsmiljö. Denna baskunskap ä ovärderlig för att förstå pollineringsnätverk och sambandet mellan landskapsförändringar och olika pollinatörers prestanda.

Establishment and quality assured diagnostics of for example Zika virus in endemic regions is of particularly high priority, which WHO has pointed out several times. A second objective is to identify host genetic factors associated with clinical severity to these pathogens. Our hypothesis is that the large clinical variation of symptoms, from asymptomatic to severe illness following Zika and Chikungunya virus infections, partly depends on host genetic factors. In this project we will collect clinical records, serum and saliva samples (n=400) from individuals infected with Zika/Chikungunya viruses with different degrees of illness and at the same time collect samples from individuals who live in the same environment but do not become sick. We intend to study whether mutations in the histo-blood groups antigens, DC-SIGN, TLR3, Fc?II (CD32), Viperin, CCR5 (CCR5?32) and IFNa and IFN ? contributes to morbidity.

Vi vill i detta projekt medverka till diagnostikmetodik och tekniköverföring till Nicaragua samt öka kunskapen om riskfaktorer som påverkar sjukdomsbilden hos personer som infekteras av Zikavirus och Chikungunya, två myggburna virus som de senaste åren spridits explosionsartat i Latinamerika och som av WHO klassas som ett globalt hot mot mänskligheten. Zikavirus är ett flavivirus som sprids till människa huvudsakligen från myggor (framförallt Aedes-arter). Från att ha betraktats som ett ofarligt virus anses det nu vara ett globalt hot på grund av dess förmåga att orsaka hjärnskada hos barn till gravida kvinnor samt neurologisk sjukdom hos vuxna. Antalet Zika-fall i Nicaragua är i nuläget okänt då de diagnostiska möjligheterna är mycket begränsade eller saknas helt. Chikungunyavirus, som sprids med samma mygg som Zikavirus, fanns tidigare bara i tropiska regioner i Afrika och Asien. Det första fallet i Latinamerika beskrevs 2013 i Saint Martin, och har sedan spridits till hela Syd- och Centralamerika. Bara i Nicaragua hade 53000 fall beskrivits i juli 2014 av vilka en majoritet (62%) av insjuknade personer fick kroniska symptom som kan vara i månader och år. Det finns i nuläget ingen specifik behandling eller vaccin mot vare sig Zika eller Chikungunya. Många personer som infekterats av dessa virus blir inte sjuka, och av de som insjuknar varierar symptomen från milda influensaliknande symptom till svåra neurologiska skador och kroniska symptom. Varför vi ser dessa kliniska skillnader vet inte idag, Vår hypotes är att det beror på genetiska faktorer hos människan. Vi har genom tidigare projekt med liknande virus som det fästingburna TBE viruset som är vanligt i Sverige hittat mutationer i vissa gener som gör att infekterade personer får allvarligare symptom. I detta projekt kommer vi att samla in provmaterial från personer som blivit infekterade med Zika/Chikungunya med olika svår grad av sjukdom och samtidigt samla in prov från personer som levt i samma miljö men inte blivit sjuka. Genom att undersöka skillnader mellan dessa grupper kommer vi kunna identifiera vilka genetiska och andra riskfaktorer som avgör hur allvarlig sjukdomen blir vid infektion. Vi avser att studera om mutationer i histo-blood groups antigen, DC-SIGN, TLR3, Fc?II (CD32), Viperin CCR5 (CCR5?32) samt TNFa och gamma bidrar till sjukligheten. Resultaten kan komma att ha stor betydelse för att identifiera riskgrupper, utveckla bra behandling mot sjukdom, och underlätta utvecklingen av framtida vacciner. Ett mycket viktigt mål i denna ansökan är diagnostikmetodik och tekniköverföring till Nicaragua. Vi avser även att långsiktigt fungera som diagnostiskstöd och referensfunktion för laboratoriet i Leon, Nicaragua med avseende på Zikavirus och Chikungunyavirus. I nuläget finns det få diagnostiska verktyg i Nicaragua och Central Amerika för myggburna infektioner. Detta leder till att många personer inte får korrekt diagnos vilket kan resultera i sämre behandling och inkorrekt information om infektionsläget. Etablerad och kvalitetssäkrad diagnostik av de nämnda virus är synnerligen högprioriterat vilket WHO har påtalat flera gånger. Genom föreläsningar, workshops och seminarier kommer vi arbeta mot att etablera högkvalitativ diagnostik för att möjliggöra snabb diagnos och identifiera riskfaktorer hos befolkningen.

Cognizant of the fact that no silver bullet can lead to sustainable control of fruit flies, particularly not in low-income countries, we thus aim for development of a set of tools, that together with e.g. biological control, cultural practices, repellents, provide management options adapted to local agroecological settings. Utveckling av doftbaserade metoder för "push-pull" bekämpning av fruktflugor? Både inhemska och exotiska fruktflugor orsakar stora skördeförluster runt om i världen. I Afrika angrips både grönsaks- och fruktodling av fruktflugor vilket gör att inkomsten minskar eller helt uteblir ibland. Som så ofta är det de bönder som lever på marginalen som drabbas hårdast av reducerade skördar. Fruktflugorna skadar frukten genom att de lägger sina ägg inne i frukten och larverna som kläcks ur äggen livnär sig på fruktköttet. Det är alltså viktigt att förhindra att flug-honorna lägger sina ägg i frukten, för att undvika att frukten angrips. Hittills har en stor del bekämpningen av fruktflugor fokuserat på att minska antal hanar. Vanliga metoderna består i att lura hanarna till fällor eller till att få dem att äta kemiska insekticider som blandats med dofter som hanarna lockas av. När antalet hanar minskar, minskar chansen att honorna parar sig och på så sätt minskar sakta hela populationen. I vår forskning vill vi nu försöka utveckla doft-baserade metoder som skulle kunna användas för att både locka hon-flugorna men också skrämma iväg dem från den odlade frukten och grönsakerna. Det är viktigt att få fram dofter som kan fånga in honor av flera olika arter. Våra preliminära resultat har visat att honor lockas av dofter från olika frukter och vi har kunnat identifiera några av de ämnen som ingår i dofterna. Vi förväntar oss att vi skall kunna utveckla beten som kan användas för att fånga honorna. Även dofter från föda, protein och jäst, som fruktflugorna äter, har identifierats och hoppas vi på att kunna blanda till en riktigt lockande mix. De ämnen som används för att fånga hanar är delvis baserade på eller kommer ursprungligen ifrån blomdofter. Nu finns det indikationer på att även honorna är attraherade av en blomma, en paradisblomma, eller s.k. Afrikansk kål. Genom att undersöka attraktionen till blomman både i laboratorium och i fält hoppas vi kunna både förstå honors möjlighet att känna dofter men också testa möjligheten att odla blomman som en fång-gröda, vid sidan av grönsakerna. Det är vår intention att kunna erbjuda odlare en fälla som kanske inte luktar så gott för oss, men som både kan minska populationen av flugor men också förhindra att honorna att lägga ägg i odlade grödor. Vi vill med vår forskning komma fram till användbara och effektiva metoder för att minska problemen med fruktflugor. Vi vill samtidigt förstå och förklara hur flugorna kan känna dofter och hur informationen processas i deras hjärna. Dofterna känner insekten med sina antenner och sedan leds informationen i nervbanor in till hjärnan. Där bearbetas doftinformationen och beroende på ålder, kön, och om den är hungrig, reagerar flugan med ett specifikt beteende. Genom att studera både de grundläggande förutsättningarna hos insekterna att känna dofter, till att göra fältförsök med olika kombinationer av lockande och skrämmande dofter, så hoppas vi kunna förse lantbrukare med metoder som passar just dem; deras odling, fruktfluge-problem och plånbok.

Utveckling av doftbaserade metoder för "push-pull" bekämpning av fruktflugor? Både inhemska och exotiska fruktflugor orsakar stora skördeförluster runt om i världen. I Afrika angrips både grönsaks- och fruktodling av fruktflugor vilket gör att inkomsten minskar eller helt uteblir ibland. Som så ofta är det de bönder som lever på marginalen som drabbas hårdast av reducerade skördar. Fruktflugorna skadar frukten genom att de lägger sina ägg inne i frukten och larverna som kläcks ur äggen livnär sig på fruktköttet. Det är alltså viktigt att förhindra att flug-honorna lägger sina ägg i frukten, för att undvika att frukten angrips. Hittills har en stor del bekämpningen av fruktflugor fokuserat på att minska antal hanar. Vanliga metoderna består i att lura hanarna till fällor eller till att få dem att äta kemiska insekticider som blandats med dofter som hanarna lockas av. När antalet hanar minskar, minskar chansen att honorna parar sig och på så sätt minskar sakta hela populationen. I vår forskning vill vi nu försöka utveckla doft-baserade metoder som skulle kunna användas för att både locka hon-flugorna men också skrämma iväg dem från den odlade frukten och grönsakerna. Det är viktigt att få fram dofter som kan fånga in honor av flera olika arter. Våra preliminära resultat har visat att honor lockas av dofter från olika frukter och vi har kunnat identifiera några av de ämnen som ingår i dofterna. Vi förväntar oss att vi skall kunna utveckla beten som kan användas för att fånga honorna. Även dofter från föda, protein och jäst, som fruktflugorna äter, har identifierats och hoppas vi på att kunna blanda till en riktigt lockande mix. De ämnen som används för att fånga hanar är delvis baserade på eller kommer ursprungligen ifrån blomdofter. Nu finns det indikationer på att även honorna är attraherade av en blomma, en paradisblomma, eller s.k. Afrikansk kål. Genom att undersöka attraktionen till blomman både i laboratorium och i fält hoppas vi kunna både förstå honors möjlighet att känna dofter men också testa möjligheten att odla blomman som en fång-gröda, vid sidan av grönsakerna. Det är vår intention att kunna erbjuda odlare en fälla som kanske inte luktar så gott för oss, men som både kan minska populationen av flugor men också förhindra att honorna att lägga ägg i odlade grödor. Vi vill med vår forskning komma fram till användbara och effektiva metoder för att minska problemen med fruktflugor.

Patients (adult men with reducible, primary groin hernia) will be included at the respective study sites (n=228 per site). They will be operated under local anaesthesia using the anterior mesh repair with a low-cost synthetic mesh. They will be followed up after two weeks and after one year.

Through the collaboration, we will pool knowledge and experience and we will increase operative capacity of the study team. It enables us to undertake large studies in several sites within a limited time frame. The results from this study will guide large scale implementation and introduction of the anterior mesh repair in the study countries and beyond. This is urgent as the unmet need for groin hernia surgey amounts to many millions of patients worldwide. De flesta av oss drabbas någon gång under livet av åkommor som kräver operation eller kirurgisk expertis. Detta kan vara allt från en medfödd missbildning hos ett barn till operation av en höftfraktur hos en äldre människa. Vi drabbas av trafikolyckor, cancer eller gallsten och räknar med att den kirurgiska kompetensen finns där för att ta hand om oss. Kirurgi är en självklar del av vårt sjukvårdssystem men så ser det inte ut i alla delar av världen. Fem miljarder människor har inte tillgång till säker kirurgi till en kostnad som de har råd med när behovet för en operation uppstår. Kirurgiska sjukdomar står för över 30% av den samlade sjukligheten i världen. Värst drabbade är de fattiga länderna i Afrika söder om Sahara där risken att dö av en kirurgisk sjukdom är högst i världen. Denna ojämlika situation beror till stor del av att man länge helt felaktigt trott att kirurgi är dyrt och onödigt i fattiga länder. I själva verket är kirurgiska ingrepp bland de mest kostnadseffektiva sjukvårdsinsatserna även i låg- och medelinkomstländer (LMIL). Mot bakgrund av dessa insikter har ett nytt område inom fältet global hälsa uppstått; Global Kirurgi. Målet med global kirurgi är att förbättra hälsa och uppnå jämlikhet för alla människor som behöver kirurgisk sjukvård, med fokus på de som lever i delar av världen där tillgången på kirurgi är sämst. För att nå detta ambitiösa mål krävs omfattande investeringar. För att prioritera rätt krävs stora forskningsinsatser omfattande allt från hur vanliga vissa sjukdomar är till hur de bäst ska behandlas och vad det i slutändan skulle kosta. I första hand bör sjukdomar som bidrar till betydande sjuklighet och som kan behandlas framgångsrikt med kirurgi eller där kirurgi är avgörande för prognosen prioriteras. Ljumskbråck är ett sådant exempel. Ljumskbråck är bland de vanligaste kirurgiska diagnoserna i världen. 220 miljoner människor uppskattas leva med denna åkomma som orsakar mycket lidande och även 40000 dödsfall varje år. Med 20 miljoner patienter opererade per år är det bland de vanligaste utförda operationerna men det icke tillgodosedda behovet för kirurgi är omfattande. I västvärlden kan en fjärdedel av alla män och tre procent av alla kvinnor räkna med att de behöver opereras för ljumskbråck någon gång under sin livstid. I en tidigare studie i Uganda hade 6.6% av vuxna män ljumskbråck medan mindre än 1% av det förväntade antalet ljumskbråck i befolkningen opererades per år. Den kirurgiska volymen är alltså inte tillräcklig. Utöver detta volymproblem finns också kvalitetsmässiga problem. I höginkomstländer opereras ljumskbråck oftast med ett syntetiskt nät. Detta hjälper till att stärka upp bukväggen och minskar risken för recidiv påtagligt. I låginkomstländer har varken sjukvårdssystemen eller patienterna råd med dessa nät, som kostar över 100 dollar. I en nyligen publicerad studie som finansierades av Vetenskapsrådet, visade vi hur ett myggnät med liknande struktur kunde steriliseras och användas istället för det dyra nätet. Detta innebär att en överlägsen kirurgisk metod kan intriduceras till förmån för de miljontals bråckpatienter som lever i låg- och medelinkomstländer. För att kunna intriducera en ny teknik krävs dock omfattande utbildningsinsatser. Det är också nödvändigt att undersöka vilka personalgrupper som ska tillhandahålla denna typ av kirurgi. Då bristen på specialister i kirurgi är överhängande så opererar vanliga läkare men även icke-läkare de allra flesta bråckpatienterna i många låginkomstländer i Afrika. I denna studie kommer vi utveckla ett strukturerat utbildningsprogram för dessa personalkategorier och patienterna kommer följas under ett år efter operationen. Studien kommer utföras i fyra länder; Ghana, Sierra Leone, Uganda och Tanzania.

Detta innebär att en överlägsen kirurgisk metod kan intriduceras till förmån för de miljontals bråckpatienter som lever i låg- och medelinkomstländer. För att kunna intriducera en ny teknik krävs dock omfattande utbildningsinsatser. Det är också nödvändigt att undersöka vilka personalgrupper som ska tillhandahålla denna typ av kirurgi. Då bristen på specialister i kirurgi är överhängande så opererar vanliga läkare men även icke-läkare de allra flesta bråckpatienterna i många låginkomstländer i Afrika. I denna studie kommer vi utveckla ett strukturerat utbildningsprogram för dessa personalkategorier och patienterna kommer följas under ett år efter operationen. Studien kommer utföras i fyra länder; Ghana, Sierra Leone, Uganda och Tanzania.

Infectious diseases of sheep and goats represent serious constraints to further development and sustainable intensification of smallholder production, and have been described as key factors driving rural smallholders into chronic poverty. In addition, zoonotic infections, such as Rift Valley fever (RVF), cause disease in humans and animals and have great impact on the health, as well as leading to impaired food security. In this project, we will focus on the circulation of infectious diseases in sheep and goats close to the Tanzania-Zambia border, in farms and at live animal markets. We will identify known and yet to be characterised pathogens associated to clinical disease in sheep and goats in farms and live animal markets at the Tanzania-Zambia border and live animal markets in the capital of Zambia, using a metagenomic approach. In addition, we will assess perceived risks and true hazards of infectious diseases in sheep and goats in the border region based on participatory epidemiological tools and serology. This trans-national and cross-disciplinary collaboration brings together veterinary and social scientists of complementary expertise necessary to bring sheep and goat health in developing countries forward. Gå över gränsen - Infektionssjukdomar hos små idisslare på gårdar och marknader längs gränsen mellan Tanzania och Zambia. Får och getter är vanliga husdjur i små lantbruk och för eget husbehov i Afrika, Mellanöstern och Asien. Djuren sköts ofta av kvinnor och småbruket utgör en viktig extrainkomst för dem och deras familjer. Denna sidoinkomst kan vara direkt avgörande för deras dagliga överlevnad och är ett viktigt led i demokrati- och jämlikhetsutvecklingen. Smittsamma djursjukdomar såsom peste des petits ruminants (PPR) och smittsam lungsäcks- och lunginflammation hos get (CCPP) utgör emellertid allvarliga hinder för vidareutveckling av småbruken och har beskrivits som en viktig faktor som kan leda till kronisk fattigdom. I jämförelse med nötkreatur, som är relativt dyra, har även de fattigaste människorna på den afrikanska landsbygden råd att köpa får och getter. Dessa djur används ofta inom byteshandel, för ceremoniella ändamål, för att betala läkarbesök, med mera. Därför räknas de ofta inte med i den officiella ekonomin. Det kan vara dålig tillgänglighet till veterinärer och andra rådgivare, och dessa prioriterar inte alltid får och get. Dessutom väljer vanligen de resurssvaga djurägarna att inte tillkalla veterinär för att förebygga, diagnostisera eller behandla får och getter. Utbrott av smittsamma sjukdomar blir därför inte alltid uppmärksammade och dess konsekvenser kan därför lätt missas. I Tanzania förekommer både PPR och CCPP. Däremot är Zambia officiellt fritt från dessa allvarliga sjukdomar. Emellertid har antikroppar mot PPR-viruset påvisats hos får och getter i delar av Zambia, utan kliniska symtom. En omfattande och okontrollerad gränshandel av djur förekommer mellan Tanzania och Zambia. Det finns därför en hög till måttlig risk för att PPR och CCPP ska sprida sig till Zambia från Tanzania. Levandedjursmarknader samlar djur från flera gårdar och områden på ett och samma ställe. Djuren har ofta transporterats långa sträckor, vilket kan orsaka stress och därmed att djuren blir känsligare för smittor. De flesta får och getter vid sådana här marknader säljs direkt till slakt, men det går inte att utesluta att en del djur säljs för att flyttas till nya gårdar. Detta utgör en hög och allvarlig risk för smittspridning över stora områden. I detta projekt kommer vi att undersöka vilka smittämnen som orsakar klinisk sjukdom hos får och get. Vi kommer här att använda oss av så kallad storskalig sekvensering för att identifiera alla virus, bakterier och parasiter i ett prov. Dessutom kommer vi utvärdera risken för smittspridning över gränsen mellan Tanzania och Zambia, genom att undersöka förekomst av utvalda sjukdomar vid gårdar och marknader i gränsregionen. Handelsvägar från marknader i Zambias huvudstad Lusaka kommer att kartläggas för att på så sätt utvärdera risken för smittspridning. Vi kommer vidare att samla in information om bönders och djurhandlares kunskap och attityder gällande sjukdomar hos djuren, samt hur de hanterar olika situationer. Detta kommer att göras genom att involvera bönderna i diskussionsgrupper och genom att intervjua djurhandlarna. Deltagardriven forskning, där bönder och djurhandlare själva aktivt deltar i till exempel diskussionsgrupper och intervjuer, har visat sig särskilt viktig vid forskning om smittsamma djursjukdomar och dess konsekvenser. Projektet kommer att leda till ökad förståelse för epidemiologin, riskerna och konsekvenserna för smittsamma sjukdomar hos får och get.

For Africa lack of data is a barrier to estimate effects. Satellite images indicate detrimental levels, but monitoring and high resolution outdoor air pollution modelling is lacking. Household air pollution is also a major source of exposure, more knowledge on how different cook stoves, fuels and habits affect exposure is crucial. No high quality study of the effect of outdoor and indoor air pollution on pregnant women in Africa has so far been conducted. We will investigate consequences of air pollution in a prospective cohort of women recruited during pregnancy at public health facilities in Ethiopia. Outdoor air pollution will be assessed by high quality modelling which combines measurements with Geographical Information System tools and aerial and topographical imaging. Individual exposure will be linked to the model by residential address. Indoor exposure will be assessed by questionnaires and validated by measurements. Emission factors from different fuels and cooking methods, and particle characteristics will be assessed in our Aerosol Lab in Lund. Data on pregnancy outcomes, exposures and confounders will be compiled and epidemiological studies on the effect of outdoor and household air pollution on pregnancy complications will be done. This study, which will increase knowledge of not only health impact but also of source characteristics, will provide important knowledge for appropriate policy making. Att luftföroreningar har en negativ inverkan på vår hälsa är knappast någon nyhet. Från epidemiologiska studier, i de delar av världen där luftföroreningar övervakas, har man gång på gång bevisat tydliga samband mellan inandade partiklar och hälsoeffekter. Det är denna typ av studier WHO grundar sina hälsogränsvärden för utomhusluften på - till exempel att halten partiklar som är mindre än 2,5 mikrometer inte bör överstiga 10 mikrogram per kubikmeter som årligt medelvärde. Dock finns det stora vita fläckar på kartan över länder där luftföroreningar mäts. Exempelvis görs i stort sett inga mätningar alls i stora delar av Afrika, och inte heller vetenskapliga studier om hälsoeffekter. Från satellitbilder över Afrika kan man gissa sig till att luftföroreningshalterna på flera ställen vida överstiger WHOs gränsvärden. Etiopien är ett av dessa ställen, och vi åkte dit för att kontrollera detta. Våra mätningar visade att utomhusluften i Adama, Etiopiens tredje största stad, hade halter på i genomsnitt ca 100 mikrogram per kubikmeter - tio gånger högre än vad WHO förespråkar. Det har visat sig att av Etiopiens befolkning är det gravida kvinnor som är allra mest drabbade. Förutom att de konstant blir utsatta för luftföroreningarna utomhus (det är mycket liten skillnad på &quot;utomhus&quot; och &quot;inomhus&quot; i stora delar av Afrika, husen är på inga sätt täta och har sällan t ex fönsterglas) blir de också utsatta för de luftföroreningar som bildas vid matlagning. Detta är en aktivitet som utförs minst två, oftast tre gånger dagligen. 95 % av befolkningen använder kol, ved eller kodynga som bränsle och en majoritet av husen har inget separat kök utan matlagningen sker i samma rum alla sover, och lever, i. Föroreningshalterna blir enorma, vi uppmätte genomsnittliga halter på 800 mikrogram partiklar mindre än 2,5 mikrometer per kubikmeter då man lagade mat med ved. Etiopien är också ett av länderna med högst mödradödlighet i världen, med havandeskapsförgiftning som huvudorsak. Denna graviditetskomplikation är i Etiopien orsak till 16 % av mödradödligheten och 25 % av de barn som är dödfödda är det på grund av havandeskapsförgiftning. Vi vill i denna studie titta på något ingen tidigare tittat på, nämligen hur starka sambanden mellan luftföroreningar och havandeskapsförgiftning, samt låg födelsevikt, egentligen är i Etiopien. Dessutom vill vi se om luftföroreningarna gör att kvinnorna oftare får tuberkulos. Detta vill vi göra genom att utveckla en modell för att med stor noggrannhet kunna uppskatta faktisk exponering för alla gravida kvinnor i Adama. Det pågår en annan studie, till vilken man nu rekryterar gravida kvinnor då de besöker mödravården. Denna grupp av kvinnor, som kommer att vara ungefär 2000 personer stor, kommer vi använda. Kvinnorna får fylla i en detaljerad enkät som bland mycket annat berör var de bor, hur ofta och länge de lagar mat och vilket bränsle de använder. I vårt laboratorium i Lund vill vi mäta hur mycket föroreningspartiklar som faktiskt släpps ut varje minut då man lagar mat över öppen eld eller med en traditionell etiopisk spis med ved, kol och kodynga. Med hjälp av detaljerade satellitkartor och mätningar på flera strategiska platser under olika årstider kan vi modellera hur luftföroreningarna utomhus ser ut för kvinnorna under olika perioder av deras graviditet. När vi kombinerar detta med information om matlagningsvanor och föroreningshalter från matlagningen uppmätta i vårt laboratorium kan vi räkna ut varje kvinnas totala exponering för luftföroreningar under olika perioder av graviditeten. Från mödravårdcentralerna övervakar man varje kvinnas hälsa, och har full koll på om, och iså fall när, en kvinna utvecklar havandeskapsförgiftning eller tuberkulos. Man övervakar även det nyfödda barnets vikt. Det kommer även finnas bra data på andra riskfaktorer.

For Africa lack of data is a barrier to estimate effects. Satellite images indicate detrimental levels, but monitoring and high resolution outdoor air pollution modelling is lacking. Household air pollution is also a major source of exposure, more knowledge on how different cook stoves, fuels and habits affect exposure is crucial. No high quality study of the effect of outdoor and indoor air pollution on pregnant women in Africa has so far been conducted. We will investigate consequences of air pollution in a prospective cohort of women recruited during pregnancy at public health facilities in Ethiopia. Outdoor air pollution will be assessed by high quality modelling which combines measurements with Geographical Information System tools and aerial and topographical imaging. Individual exposure will be linked to the model by residential address. Indoor exposure will be assessed by questionnaires and validated by measurements. Emission factors from different fuels and cooking methods, and particle characteristics will be assessed in our Aerosol Lab in Lund. Data on pregnancy outcomes, exposures and confounders will be compiled and epidemiological studies on the effect of outdoor and household air pollution on pregnancy complications will be done. This study, which will increase knowledge of not only health impact but also of source characteristics, will provide important knowledge for appropriate policy making. Att luftföroreningar har en negativ inverkan på vår hälsa är knappast någon nyhet. Från epidemiologiska studier, i de delar av världen där luftföroreningar övervakas, har man gång på gång bevisat tydliga samband mellan inandade partiklar och hälsoeffekter. Det är denna typ av studier WHO grundar sina hälsogränsvärden för utomhusluften på - till exempel att halten partiklar som är mindre än 2,5 mikrometer inte bör överstiga 10 mikrogram per kubikmeter som årligt medelvärde. Dock finns det stora vita fläckar på kartan över länder där luftföroreningar mäts. Exempelvis görs i stort sett inga mätningar alls i stora delar av Afrika, och inte heller vetenskapliga studier om hälsoeffekter. Från satellitbilder över Afrika kan man gissa sig till att luftföroreningshalterna på flera ställen vida överstiger WHOs gränsvärden. Etiopien är ett av dessa ställen, och vi åkte dit för att kontrollera detta. Våra mätningar visade att utomhusluften i Adama, Etiopiens tredje största stad, hade halter på i genomsnitt ca 100 mikrogram per kubikmeter - tio gånger högre än vad WHO förespråkar. Det har visat sig att av Etiopiens befolkning är det gravida kvinnor som är allra mest drabbade. Förutom att de konstant blir utsatta för luftföroreningarna utomhus (det är mycket liten skillnad på &quot;utomhus&quot; och &quot;inomhus&quot; i stora delar av Afrika, husen är på inga sätt täta och har sällan t ex fönsterglas) blir de också utsatta för de luftföroreningar som bildas vid matlagning. Detta är en aktivitet som utförs minst två, oftast tre gånger dagligen. 95 % av befolkningen använder kol, ved eller kodynga som bränsle och en majoritet av husen har inget separat kök utan matlagningen sker i samma rum alla sover, och lever, i. Föroreningshalterna blir enorma, vi uppmätte genomsnittliga halter på 800 mikrogram partiklar mindre än 2,5 mikrometer per kubikmeter då man lagade mat med ved. Etiopien är också ett av länderna med högst mödradödlighet i världen, med havandeskapsförgiftning som huvudorsak. Denna graviditetskomplikation är i Etiopien orsak till 16 % av mödradödligheten och 25 % av de barn som är dödfödda är det på grund av havandeskapsförgiftning. Vi vill i denna studie titta på något ingen tidigare tittat på, nämligen hur starka sambanden mellan luftföroreningar och havandeskapsförgiftning, samt låg födelsevikt, egentligen är i Etiopien. Dessutom vill vi se om luftföroreningarna gör att kvinnorna oftare får tuberkulos. Detta vill vi göra genom att utveckla en modell för att med stor noggrannhet kunna uppskatta faktisk exponering för alla gravida kvinnor i Adama. Det pågår en annan studie, till vilken man nu rekryterar gravida kvinnor då de besöker mödravården. Denna grupp av kvinnor, som kommer att vara ungefär 2000 personer stor, kommer vi använda. Kvinnorna får fylla i en detaljerad enkät som bland mycket annat berör var de bor, hur ofta och länge de lagar mat och vilket bränsle de använder.

Health systems in resource scarce settings are less resilient to absorb the shocks of disasters, leading to erosion of health system capacities. The purpose of this project is to build on an ongoing research collaboration between the NIPH and KI is to support and strengthen institutional capacities in research, education, response and policy dialogue. Between 2017 and 2019, we aim to explore the health and health system effects of flooding in Cambodia and factors that may strengthen health system resilience, by identifying morbidities and risk factors for changes in health service delivery during flood periods. We also aim to expand and provide support to the current NIPH education and training programs and build capacity for response and policy dialogue, aligned with the Cambodia disaster response system, through teacher exchanges and research-related workshops and group meetings. Improving capacity will lead to Cambodia's improved preventative and resilience capabilities in upcoming disasters. Both institutions will benefit from the knowledge generation, and individual researchers and students will gain from the educational and supervisory opportunities and the application of skills and training. Kambodja är ett låginkomst- och katastrofbenäget land, där naturkatastrofer förutspås bli mer intensiva och mer frekventa på grund av klimatförändringar. En stor del av befolkningen är sårbar, framförallt de som lever i fattigdom och katastrofer riskerar förvärra deras situation ytterligare. Hälso- och sjukvårdssystemen i resurs-knappa miljöer är mindre motståndskraftiga i att absorbera de chocker en katastrof innebär, vilket leder till en erodering av hälsosystemets kapacitet och motverkar uppbyggandet av ett resilient system.

We have previously developed a simple, inexpensive test for diagnosis of TB based on detection of mycobacterial lipoarabinomannan (LAM) in urine. The test format we used however had suboptimal sensitivity for routine clinical use. We have now increased the sensitivity of the test a 100-fold, using monoclonal antibodies with extremely high avidity, and increasing the signal by using new nanotechnology techniques, making it an extremely promising platform for rapid TB diagnosis. Aim: The central aim of this application is to assess the performance of the test prototype for diagnosis of TB in distinct clinical trials, both in high endemic (South Africa and Mozambique) and low endemic (Sweden and Portugal) countries, with particular emphasis on children and patients with/without HIV co-infection. Our second aim is to develop our test into a POC triage test, able to distinguish individuals who need referral for further confirmatory testing. Significance: A better diagnostic test would improve the detection rate and consequently decrease the transmission and spread of the TB pandemic in resource poor settings. Bakgrund: En tredjedel av världens befolkning beräknas vara infekterade med tuberkelbakterier och mer än 9 miljoner människor insjuknar varje år i aktiv tuberkulos (TB).

This has three reasons: (1) The government may be fighting several armed groups at the same time; (2) New armed groups may emerge during the transition; (3) Armed conflicts having ended may become active again. The project will study processes by which several armed conflicts are terminated in one country, with emphasis on the impact conflict terminations have on other conflicts in the same country. This has implications for theory. When one conflict ends, other armed groups will consider whether they shall seek a settlement, stay inactive or continue fighting. They may co-ordinate with each other, or splinter into factions. We aim to view all conflicts in a country as a system, using Myanmar as our main case. We will develop a theory of reputation learning in which governments and armed groups gain reputation for trustworthiness, resolve, and military capacity. The project, based at Uppsala University and including a Norwegian partner (PRIO) and a Myanmar based research team, consists in (1) updating the UCDP Peace Agreement Dataset for 2012-2016, to enable (2) a statistical analysis of all developing countries with intrastate armed conflict, and (3) an in-depth case study of how conflict terminations and onsets have influenced each other in Myanmar's conflict system since 1989. The project, running 2017-2019, combines quantitative and qualitative methods. Väpnade konflikter utgör ett stort hinder för fattigdomsbekämpning. Många låginkomstländer har långvariga och komplexa konflikter med flera olika väpnade grupper. Exempel är Afghanistan, Demokratiska Republiken Kongo, Myanmar, Somalia, och Sudan. Det samma gäller medelinkomstländer som Colombia, Filippinerna, och Syrien. För att uppnå fred i ett land krävs flera konfliktavslut om (1) regeringen befinner sig i konflikt med flera olika väpnande grupper samtidigt; (2) nya väpnade grupper uppstår; eller (3) konflikter som avslutats börjar om igen. Vårt forskningsprojekt undersöker hur länder med flera olika väpnande grupper kan uppnå fred. Vi vill studera hur det påverkar andra konflikter inom samma land när en konflikt avslutas. När en väpnad grupp sluter ett fredsavtal med regeringen, eller besegras militärt, eller av andra skäl slutar att aktivt strida mot regeringen, observerar andra väpnande grupper denna utveckling, och drar slutsatser för om den ska förhandla med regeringen, förhålla sig passiv eller fortsätta strida. Väpnade grupper kan också bilda allianser, eller splittras. Projektet kommer att behandla alla konflikter inom ett land som ett system, och undersöka de processer som leder till en minskning av antalet väpnade grupper, så att fred inträder när den sista aktiva gruppen avslutar sin kamp eller lägger ner sina vapen. Vi vill utveckla en teori om hur regeringar och väpnade gruppers rykte för pålitlighet, stridsvilja, och militär kapacitet uppstår, och hur andra aktörer i systemet bildar sig en uppfattning om dessa rykten genom att observera förhandlingar, efterlevnad av ingångna fredsavtal, och stridshandlingar. Med hjälp av denna teori kan vi formulera hypoteser om varför väpnade grupper väljer att sluta strida mot regeringen. Det mest originella i vår teori är att den bygger på hur konfliktaktörer lär sig om sina konkurrenter och motparter genom att observera hur de uppträder mot varandra. Detta är särskilt viktigt i länder med många aktiva konflikter. Som en del av projektet kommer nya data om fredsavtal i utvecklingsländer att insamlas av Uppsala Conflict Data Program (UCDP). UCDP tillhandahåller redan data om alla fredsavtal i alla världens väpnade konflikter för åren 1975-2011, och vi avser att uppdatera denna datasamling med åren 2012-2016. Detta är en viktig förbättring av en väl använd resurs. Dessa data kommer vi att använda i en statistisk studie av alla utvecklingsländer som befinner sig i väpnad konflikt för att pröva våra hypoteser om hur fred kan uppnås. Samma data, och nya data insamlade lokalt i Myanmar kommer att ingå i en fallstudie av hur olika konfliktavslut, allianser mellan väpnade grupper, och nybildningar av väpnade grupper, påverkat varandra och den totala mängden våldsam konflikt i låginkomstlandet Myanmars komplexa konfliktsystem sedan 1989. Fallstudien kommer också att syfta till att utveckla nya argument och hypoteser som förbättrar vår ursprungliga teoretiska referensram.

However, it has relatively low nutritional quality having dire implications for millions of people dependent on this staple crop. Particularly problematic is the low ß-carotene level, which can lead to provitamin A deficiency with severe health and economic consequences, including early mortality, impaired physical ability and blindness. Efforts to breed for varieties with increased b-carotene have therefore been undertaken, but is difficult to combine with high starch content, which is a vital trait for farmers's acceptance and the market value. Here we propose a new exploratory approach by cross-species comparative genomics and molecular network analysis in combination with functional testing by genetic transformation and the emerging technique of genome editing. We do this by generating transcript, smallRNA and metabolite data of specific varieties with different genetic background and ß-carotene content to identify new candidate genes and key enzymes leading to increased ß-carotene levels and sustained starch content. We will also identify molecular signatures associated to these traits to screen existing germplasms for more lines to be incorporated in breeding programs. The findings will serve either for marker assisted breeding or as engineering approach by gene-editing to overcome possible constrains in traditional breeding. Kassava är en av de viktigaste livsmedels- och fodergrödorna i tropikerna och Afrika står för mer än hälften av den totala världsproduktionen. Denna gröda intar en särskilt viktig roll i livsmedelsförsörjningen för miljontals småbrukare i utvecklingsländer tack vare dess enastående tolerans mot torka och förmåga att växa i magra jordar. Den kan dessutom skördas efter behov, eftersom den växer över mer än ett år. Dess tålighet gör att den är rustad inför framtida klimatförändringar. Men tyvärr har kassavan som livsmedel en stor nackdel: näringsinnehållet. För även om kassava producerar mycket kalorier är den relativt näringsfattig. Särskilt problematisk är den låga halten av provitamin A. För litet intag av detta ämne har flera allvarliga konsekvenser, såväl vad gäller ekonomi som hälsa - bland annat tidig dödlighet och minskad fysisk kapacitet. Det kan också leda till irreversibel blindhet hos barn. I Afrika har hela 43 % av förskolebarnen kliniska symptom på provitamin A-brist. Det är de vita rötterna som utgör den ätliga delen hos de flesta kassavasorterna som odlas och konsumeras, och dessa innehåller försumbara mängder provitamin A. Som tur är finns det en stor genetisk variation inom grödan, och vissa sorter har en hög karotenoidhalt, som är den grupp av ämnen i vilken just provitamin A ingår. Flera andra av karotenoiderna är viktiga för människans hälsa. Den naturliga genetiska mångfalden hos kassava är alltså hög, men att förbättra karotenoidhalten genom att testa olika korsningar är en mycket tidskrävande och dyr process, eftersom växtcykeln mellan generationer kan vara hela två år. För att öka effektiviteten i urvalet vid förädling är det därför nödvändigt att förstå den genetiska grunden för varierande karotenoidhalt. I detta projekt, som är ett samarbete mellan Sveriges Lantbruksuniversitet och International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA, med huvudkontor i Ibadan, Nigeria), vill vi bättre förstå hur provitamin A produceras i kassava, för att med denna kunskap effektivare och snabbare kunna ta fram sorter som har högre halt av detta för människan så viktiga ämne. Vi gör detta på flera sätt. Till att börja med vill vi tillämpa ett nytt bioinformatiskt tillvägångsätt, där vi använder oss av genexpressionsdata och gör en jämförelse mot potatis. Vi har valt potatisen eftersom den liksom kassava har ett kartlagt genom, båda har en knölstruktur som producerar delarna som äts samt för att potatisen är välstuderad när det gäller provitamin A-produktion. Tack vare dessa likheter kan vi konstruera molekylära genexpressionsnätverk mellan de två grödorna och på så sätt identifiera nya gener och enzymer som påverkar provitamin A-halten. Detta enligt principen att genexpressionen för vissa processer är evolutionärt bevarad mellan olika växter. Från detta kommer vi få en lista på nya kandidatgener för högre produktion av provitamin A. Ett urval av dessa gener kommer sedan att testas vidare genom att utryckas i potatis med hjälp av genetisk modifiering eftersom det är lättare att göra i potatis än kassava. För att se om genen är viktig i provitamin A-produktion kommer vi efter modifieringen undersöka om halten ökat. Vi kan dessutom screena den stora samlingen av kassavalinjer för att identifiera vilka linjer som bär och uttrycker på de nödvändiga generna för att få en hög provitamin A-halt. Sådana kassavalinjer utgör ett bra korsningsmaterial till redan pågående förädlingsprogram som syftar till att förbättra näringsinnehållet. Parallellt vill vi dessutom testa och utveckla den nya CRISPR/Cas9-metoden för riktade förändringar i kassavans arvsmassa. Vi har redan identifierat ett antal enzym vars aktivitet har betydelse för Provitamin A-produktion. Deras effektivitet kan med denna teknik antingen förstärkas eller försvagas genom att vissa baspar i dem byts ut med hjälp av CRISPR/Cas9. Vi hoppas på detta sätt kunna producera några linjer och testa deras innehåll av Provitamin A.

Vi kan dessutom screena den stora samlingen av kassavalinjer för att identifiera vilka linjer som bär och uttrycker på de nödvändiga generna för att få en hög provitamin A-halt. Sådana kassavalinjer utgör ett bra korsningsmaterial till redan pågående förädlingsprogram som syftar till att förbättra näringsinnehållet. Parallellt vill vi dessutom testa och utveckla den nya CRISPR/Cas9-metoden för riktade förändringar i kassavans arvsmassa. Vi har redan identifierat ett antal enzym vars aktivitet har betydelse för Provitamin A-produktion. Deras effektivitet kan med denna teknik antingen förstärkas eller försvagas genom att vissa baspar i dem byts ut med hjälp av CRISPR/Cas9. Vi hoppas på detta sätt kunna producera några linjer och testa deras innehåll av Provitamin A.

The collaboration has two components; a course in complex interventions and two research studies focusing on children and adolescents living with HIV in Ethiopia. The project will build on an integrative synthesis of previous and ongoing research projects using a framework for complex interventions. The training will focus on translating knowledge and skills from well experienced Swedish and Ethiopian scholars to different collaboration projects building on the fruitful collaborations between Lund University and Addis Ababa University but include additional universities in Ethiopia and Iceland. The course will be delivered in workshops and seminars, alternating between Swedish and Ethiopian institutions and thereby forming a knowledge translation between different contexts in both countries. Two complex interventions will proceed during the three- year period; the effectiveness of interactive text messaging in improving compliance to care among children and adolescents receiving HIV treatment. The collaboration includes competences from three countries including a wide range of scientific disciplines and will result in 6-12 collaborating research projects that will enhance the possibilities for a mutual multi-scientific long-term collaboration in research for improving children's and adolescents' health in low income countries. Långvarig sjukdom hos barn och unga innebär komplexa utmaningar vilket ställer krav på tvärvetenskapliga perspektiv och samarbeten mellan olika professioner. Syftet med vårt forskningssamarbete är att utveckla och utvärdera modeller för komplexa interventioner med målet att främja hälsa och välmående bland barn och ungdomar i utvecklingsländer. Samarbetet omfattar kompetens från tre universitet i tre länder och inkluderar omvårdnad, medicin, epidemiologi, datavetenskap, etnografi, global hälsa och sociologi. Genom att använda olika forskningsmetoder skapas en fördjupad förståelse för den övergripande forskningsfrågan. Medical Research Council (MRC) ramverk beskriver forskningsprocessens olika faser från utveckling, där en modell av en komplex intervention utvecklas till de följande faserna där interventionen testas avseende genomförbarhet, evalueras och slutligen implementeras. Socioekonomiska, politiska och kulturella faktorer måste övervägas och inkluderas vilket betyder att interventioner som visat sig vara effektiva i utvecklade länder, inte är det i utvecklingsländer. Samarbetet omfattar dels en kurs i komplexa interventioner och dels två forskningsprojekt med barn och ungdomar med HIV. De två samordnade studierna följer MRCs ramverk för utveckling av komplexa interventioner och är en integrerad sammanställning av tidigare och pågående forskning. Genom vår forskning i Sverige och i Etiopien har vi identifierat problem som innebär att för att kunna möta patienters framtida behov behöver kunskapen inom den kliniska verksamheten anpassas och vidgas för att kunna kommunicera vård på ett effektivt sätt. Våra forskningsresultat har fått internationellt erkännande och bedöms som relevant och viktigt också för familjer i låginkomstländer. Sjukvårdssystem med inadekvat koordination, uppföljning och kontinuitet i vården är särskilt kontraproduktiv. Samarbetet innebär att en kurs i komplexa interventioner genomförs. Kursledare representerar sjuksköterskor och läkare från Lunds universitet och Addis Ababa University. Kursdeltagare representerar olika professioner och olika lärosäten i Etiopien. Kursen genomförs under åren 2017-2018 och innebär att kursdeltagarna gör sin egen forskningsplan som involverar dels en komplex intervention och dels barn och/eller unga med eller med risk för långvarig sjukdom. Projektplanerna examineras 2018 och under 2019 hålls workshops och seminarium i att skriva forskningsansökningar. Genom årliga resor till respektive land kommer projektet att bidra till kunskapsutbyte avseende att utveckla, utvärdera och implementera komplexa interventioner och därmed främja hälsa för barn och unga med kronisk sjukdom. Samarbetet kommer att leda till 6-12 utarbetade forskningsplaner för barn och unga som lever i utvecklingsländer. Det kommer också att leda till publikationer under tre-års perioden med deltagare från båda länderna avseende studieprotokoll och således flera vetenskapliga publikationer redan innan studierna startat och fler när de planerade studierna startat och pågår. Parallellt med kursen och baserad på MRCs ramverk testas och utvärderas två komplexa interventioner avseende genomförbarhet och effektivitet på tio kliniker i Etiopien. Interaktiva och interdisciplinära metoder används för att involvera olika aktörer i processen med intressen i verksamheten såväl som föräldrar, barn, och olika hälso- och sjukvårdsprofessioner. Studierna syftar till att förbättra följsamhet till behandling för 1) barn med HIV och 2) ungdomar med HIV med hjälp av e-Hälsa. Den första studien omfattar barn 0-12 år med behandling för HIV där föräldrar/vårdnadshavare till barn i interventionsgruppen får totalt fyra påminnelser per månad kring behandling och återbesök med individualiserat textmeddelande till deras mobiltelefon. I en randomiserad kontrollerad studie jämförs interventionen med en kontrollgrupp där inga påminnelser ges.

Two complex interventions will proceed during the three- year period; the effectiveness of interactive text messaging in improving compliance to care among children and adolescents receiving HIV treatment. The collaboration includes competences from three countries including a wide range of scientific disciplines and will result in 6-12 collaborating research projects that will enhance the possibilities for a mutual multi-scientific long-term collaboration in research for improving children's and adolescents' health in low income countries. Långvarig sjukdom hos barn och unga innebär komplexa utmaningar vilket ställer krav på tvärvetenskapliga perspektiv och samarbeten mellan olika professioner. Syftet med vårt forskningssamarbete är att utveckla och utvärdera modeller för komplexa interventioner med målet att främja hälsa och välmående bland barn och ungdomar i utvecklingsländer. Samarbetet omfattar kompetens från tre universitet i tre länder och inkluderar omvårdnad, medicin, epidemiologi, datavetenskap, etnografi, global hälsa och sociologi. Genom att använda olika forskningsmetoder skapas en fördjupad förståelse för den övergripande forskningsfrågan. Medical Research Council (MRC) ramverk beskriver forskningsprocessens olika faser från utveckling, där en modell av en komplex intervention utvecklas till de följande faserna där interventionen testas avseende genomförbarhet, evalueras och slutligen implementeras. Socioekonomiska, politiska och kulturella faktorer måste övervägas och inkluderas vilket betyder att interventioner som visat sig vara effektiva i utvecklade länder, inte är det i utvecklingsländer. Samarbetet omfattar dels en kurs i komplexa interventioner och dels två forskningsprojekt med barn och ungdomar med HIV. De två samordnade studierna följer MRCs ramverk för utveckling av komplexa interventioner och är en integrerad sammanställning av tidigare och pågående forskning. Genom vår forskning i Sverige och i Etiopien har vi identifierat problem som innebär att för att kunna möta patienters framtida behov behöver kunskapen inom den kliniska verksamheten anpassas och vidgas för att kunna kommunicera vård på ett effektivt sätt. Våra forskningsresultat har fått internationellt erkännande och bedöms som relevant och viktigt också för familjer i låginkomstländer. Sjukvårdssystem med inadekvat koordination, uppföljning och kontinuitet i vården är särskilt kontraproduktiv. Samarbetet innebär att en kurs i komplexa interventioner genomförs. Kursledare representerar sjuksköterskor och läkare från Lunds universitet och Addis Ababa University. Kursdeltagare representerar olika professioner och olika lärosäten i Etiopien. Kursen genomförs under åren 2017-2018 och innebär att kursdeltagarna gör sin egen forskningsplan som involverar dels en komplex intervention och dels barn och/eller unga med eller med risk för långvarig sjukdom. Projektplanerna examineras 2018 och under 2019 hålls workshops och seminarium i att skriva forskningsansökningar. Genom årliga resor till respektive land kommer projektet att bidra till kunskapsutbyte avseende att utveckla, utvärdera och implementera komplexa interventioner och därmed främja hälsa för barn och unga med kronisk sjukdom. Samarbetet kommer att leda till 6-12 utarbetade forskningsplaner för barn och unga som lever i utvecklingsländer. Det kommer också att leda till publikationer under tre-års perioden med deltagare från båda länderna avseende studieprotokoll och således flera vetenskapliga publikationer redan innan studierna startat och fler när de planerade studierna startat och pågår. Parallellt med kursen och baserad på MRCs ramverk testas och utvärderas två komplexa interventioner avseende genomförbarhet och effektivitet på tio kliniker i Etiopien. Interaktiva och interdisciplinära metoder används för att involvera olika aktörer i processen med intressen i verksamheten såväl som föräldrar, barn, och olika hälso- och sjukvårdsprofessioner. Studierna syftar till att förbättra följsamhet till behandling för 1) barn med HIV och 2) ungdomar med HIV med hjälp av e-Hälsa. Den första studien omfattar barn 0-12 år med behandling för HIV där föräldrar/vårdnadshavare till barn i interventionsgruppen får totalt fyra påminnelser per månad kring behandling och återbesök med individualiserat textmeddelande till deras mobiltelefon. I en randomiserad kontrollerad studie jämförs interventionen med en kontrollgrupp där inga påminnelser ges. Den andra studien omfattar ungdomar 13-19 år som påbörjat behandling för HIV de senaste åtta vecko Sweden Lunds universitet The Swedish Research Council Lunds universitet 3.b - Support the research and development of vaccines and medicines for the communicable and non-communicable diseases that primarily affect developing countries, provide access to affordable essential medicines and vaccines, in accordance with the Doha Declaration on the TRIPS Agreement and Public Health, which affirms the right of developing countries to use to the full the provisions in the Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights regarding flexibilities to protect public healt 3.b - Stödja forskning om och utveckling av vaccin och läkemedel mot de smittsamma och icke-smittsamma sjukdomar som i första hand drabbar utvecklingsländer.

The project will specifically study the implementation, dissemination and interpretation of Nordic popular education ideas in Kenya and Tanzania, and focus on how these ideas interact with, on one hand, so-called Indigenous Knowledge Systems, and, on the other hand, educational traditions linked to the formal educational system established in the context of European colonization. Research questions are: How do interactions between different knowledge systems and learning traditions influence the design of non-formal and informal adult education for structurally vulnerable groups in contexts marked by a colonial history? Does this kind of interaction between different knowledge systems and learning traditions create new innovative educational ideas? What role do these interactions and innovations play in improving participants' life chances? Two ethnographic case studies will be carried out: one focusing on the folk high school inspired Folk Development Colleges in Tanzania, and the other on agricultural adult education activities linked to the cooperative movement in Kenya. The project involves researchers from Sweden, Tanzania and Kenya and the project is also intended to contribute to the strengthening of the Eastern African research community within the field of adult education Syftet med på projektet är att undersöka hur samspel mellan olika kunskaps- och utbildningstraditioner får betydelse för utformningen av icke-formell utbildningsverksamhet i östra Afrika. Projektets avser specifikt studera spridning, tolkning, implementering av nordiska folkbildningsidéer i Kenya och Tanzania där fokus riktas på dessa idéers samspel med, å ena sidan, så kallade indigenous knowledge systems och med, å andra sidan, utbildningstraditioner kopplade till det formella utbildningssystem som etablerades i samband med europeisk kolonisation. Tre aspekter av detta samspel mellan kunskaps- och utbildningstraditioner kommer att fokuseras: (1) Utbildningsfilosofiska aspekter, hur olika (ut)bildningshistoriska grundtankar relaterar till varandra och hur eventuella korsbefruktningar kan skönjas i samspelet; (2) Kunskapens maktdimensioner, hur relationen mellan kunskapstraditioner kan förstås i termer av hegemonisk kamp mellan olika intressen, där inte minst den globala maktordningens relation till den koloniala historien särskilt beaktas; (3) Deltagarnas perspektiv på verksamheten och dess betydelse för deras livsmöjligheter, där ett särskilt fokus på genus och empowerment anläggs. Genom att empiriskt studera dessa tre aspekter och relatera dem till varandra avser projektet bidra till en förståelse av de komplexa processer som omgärdar spridandet och implementerandet utbildningsidéer utanför det formella utbildningssystemet, något som varit ett centralt drag inte minst i svensk biståndspolitik. Två etnografiska fallstudier kommer att genomföras inom projekt: en med fokus på folkhögskoleinspirerade Folk Development Colleges i Tanzania, och en på jordbruksinriktad vuxenutbildningsverksamhet kopplad till de kooperativa rörelsen i Kenya, med stöd av the Swedish Cooperative Center (We effect / Vi-skogen). Därtill kommer en historisk undersökning göras beträffande spridning av nordiska folkbildningsidéer i Kenya och Tanzania. Vi avser genom projektet kunna svara på frågor som: Vilken betydelse har samspelet mellan olika kunskaps- och utbildningstraditioner för utformningen av icke-formel vuxenutbildning för strukturellt utsatta grupper i ett sammanhang där en kolonial förhistoria ständigt är närvarande? Hur kan vi förstå samspelet utifrån dess möjlighet att skapa innovativa utbildningsidéer, bryta kolonialt präglade maktstrukturer och förbättra deltagarnas livsmöjligheter? Projektet avser därigenom bidra med kunskap om vilka perspektiv som deltagarna (fattiga unga män och kvinnor med låg formell utbildning) har på icke-formell vuxenutbildning som inletts i samarbete med internationella samarbetspartners och hur denna utbildning kommer till nytta i ett vidare livsperspektiv. Dynamiker och dilemman som uppstår i samspelet mellan olika lärandetraditioner kommer kritiskt att granskassas. Därtill avser projekt kunna lokalisera innovativa utbildningstankar som kan tänkas uppstå i mötet mellan olika traditioner, där vi möjligen också kan se framväxten av en mer global och postkolonial förståelse av vad bildning och livslångt lärande kan vara. Projektet kommer att involvera forskare från Sverige, Tanzania och Kenya och avser därigenom bidra till att stärka en pågående uppbyggnad av regionalt baserad forskning inom området vuxenutbildning och livslångt lärande i östra Afrika.

This project focuses on what happens to post-war societies at the moment leaders are arrested, which we suggest threaten former wartime leaders' patronage networks and may provoke a return to violence. We argue that violence is particularly likely to occur when incarcerated leaders have monopolized peacetime flows of patronage to their constituencies. In such situations, arrests are likely to leave clients in need, obliging them to leave the network. To salvage waning networks junior elites have incentives to organize armed attacks to compel the authorities to give them positions in the government or release the detained leader. The study will employ a mixed-method approach; a quantitative study of post-armed conflict arrests in the world (1946 to 2015) will be accompanied by a structured, focused comparison between the incarceration of Slobodan Milosevic (ex-Yugoslavia) and Charles Taylor (Liberia). By combining quantitative evidence with case analysis, this project will provide unique insights into the effect of the socioeconomic, political and military influence that wartime leaders often maintain even in post-conflict societies. The findings will advance scholarship and contribute to policy recommendation about how states can establish accountable and transparent rules and institutions that promote peace, security, and development. Hur man bäst hanterar krigsförbrytare efter inbördeskrig har visat sig vara en nyckelfråga för att lyckas bygga fred. Å ena sidan hävdar viss forskning att amnestier kan vara användbara för att få slut på själva konflikten, medan det å andra sidan är viktigt att utreda krigsbrott för att underlätta försoning och etablera respekt för lag och ordning. En fråga som inte har uppmärksammats av den här litteraturen är vad som händer i postkonfliktländer just vid det tillfälle som före detta krigsherrar grips. Dessa gripanden har ibland lett till våldsamma protester från anhängarna till den anklagade, som till exempel när den före detta jugoslaviske ledaren Slobodan Milosevic greps i april 2001. Detta ledde till skottlossning mellan hans lojalister och polisstyrkor, och det fanns en risk att situationen skulle utvecklas till ett nytt inbördeskrig. Vid andra tillfällen, som när Charles Taylor greps i Liberia i mars 2006, så skedde inte samma våldsamma motreaktion. Vad förklarar denna skillnad? Vi menar att risken för våld i samband med gripandet av före detta krigsherrar beror på vilken politisk och ekonomisk roll de har spelat efter konflikten har avslutats. Det är inte ovanligt att före detta ledare fortsätter att ha inflytande och kontrollera tillgångar i form av politisk makt eller ekonomiska resurser även efter ett fredsavtal. Detta ger dem möjlighet att fördela stöd till sina anhängare vilket gör att informella nätverk - ofta byggda på korruption - som skapats redan under konflikten finns kvar eller växer sig starkare. Vi argumenterar att risken för våld är störst om häktade ledare har monopoliserat fördelningen av ekonomiskt stöd till sitt nätverk. När sådana ledare arresteras riskerar anhängarna att förlora tillgång till de resurser som de ofta är beroende av. För att bevara nätverket intakt, har juniora eliter incitament att organisera våldsamheter för att tvinga myndigheterna att inkludera dem i andra nätverk eller släppa den häktade ledaren. Vi kommer att använda två olika metoder för att undersöka förklaringsvärdet av denna hypotes. Vi kommer först att genomföra en kvantitativ studie som undersöker förekomsten av våld i samband med gripandet av ledare i krigshärjade länder mellan 1946 och 2015. För att kontrollera samband identifierade i den kvantitativa studien, och i mer detalj förstå hur gripanden i vissa fall leder till våldsamheter, kommer vi även att genomföra en komparativ studie som jämför arresteringen av Slobodan Milosevic (f.d. Jugoslavien) och Charles Taylor (Liberia). Material för den komparativa studien kommer att samlas in med hjälp av social nätverksanalys och djupintervjuer med f.d. kombattanter, politiska ledare, journalister och NGO-representanter i Liberia och Serbien. För att resultaten från studien ska göras direkt användbara för svensk utvecklingspolitik, så kommer lärdomar att presenteras både i generella termer och specifikt för att stödja Sveriges roll i byggandet av fred och demokrati i Myanmar. I likhet med Liberia och Serbien efter krigen pågår idag ett intensivt reformarbete av politik och institutioner i Myanmar där frågor hur man ska hantera klientelism och begångna människorättsbrott är mycket känsliga. Genom att anordna seminarier med forskare, civilsamhället, och beslutsfattare i Myanmar där erfarenheter från andra länder diskuteras öppnar vi debatten om dessa frågor i landet samt bidrar med fall-specifika förslag för hur rättvisa och stabil fred kan uppnås.

För att kontrollera samband identifierade i den kvantitativa studien, och i mer detalj förstå hur gripanden i vissa fall leder till våldsamheter, kommer vi även att genomföra en komparativ studie som jämför arresteringen av Slobodan Milosevic (f.d. Jugoslavien) och Charles Taylor (Liberia). Material för den komparativa studien kommer att samlas in med hjälp av social nätverksanalys och djupintervjuer med f.d. kombattanter, politiska ledare, journalister och NGO-representanter i Liberia och Serbien. För att resultaten från studien ska göras direkt användbara för svensk utvecklingspolitik, så kommer lärdomar att presenteras både i generella termer och specifikt för att stödja Sveriges roll i byggandet av fred och demokrati i Myanmar. I likhet med Liberia och Serbien efter krigen pågår idag ett intensivt reformarbete av politik och institutioner i Myanmar där frågor hur man ska hantera klientelism och begångna människorättsbrott är mycket känsliga. Genom att anordna seminarier med forskare, civilsamhället, och beslutsfattare i Myanmar där erfarenheter från andra länder diskuteras öppnar vi debatten om dessa frågor i landet samt bidrar med fall-specifika förslag för hur rättvisa och stabil fred kan uppnås.

The project will be based on problem-solving cycles and study its effect on 388,000 births, to our knowledge the largest implementation study in this field. The PeriScope will make health systems more responsive and sustainable, reduce barriers currently preventing the uptake of safe, efficient and equitable perinatal health services.

The most effective surgical method uses a synthetic mesh. We have also shown that a low-cost mosquito mesh can be used for this purpose. In sub-Saharan Africa, most surgical procedures are performed by non-surgeons, a practice called "task-sharing." In this study, we will implement a training program for surgeons and non-surgeons in groin hernia repair using low-cost mesh.

Project organisation, time frame and methods This is a single-blinded prospective cohort study at four sites in Uganda, Sierra Leone, Ghana, and Tanzania. Surgical providers will be trained in mesh inguinal hernia repair. Adult men with reducible, primary inguinal hernia will be included (n=228 per site). The patients will be followed up after 2 weeks and after one year. Primary outcome is recurrence and secondary outcomes are complications and patient satisfaction. Results between study sites and types of providers will be compared. Enrollment of patients will start in late 2016 in Ghana and during 2017 and 2018 in the remaining countries.

Den vanligaste allmänkirurgiska operationen görs för ljumskbråck och varje år opereras 20 miljoner människor för detta i världen. I rika länder såsom i Sverige använder man ett syntetiskt nät för att stärka upp bukväggen. Detta har lett till att recidiv av ljumskbråcket är mycket ovanligare jämfört med tidigare använda metoder. De syntetiska näten kan kosta uppemot 1000 kr styck och är därför för dyra för patienter i fattigare delar av världen. Tack vare projektbidrag från vetenskapsrådet så har vi genomfört en studie som visar att ett myggnät, vars egenskaper är mycket lika de kommersiella nätens, kan användas istället för dessa vid bråckkirurgi. Detta innebär att människor i fattiga länder också kan opereras med samma goda resultat som i höginkomstländer. I världen lever 220 miljoner människor med bråck. De flesta av dessa lever i låg- och medelinkomstländer. Bristen på kirurger som ska operera dessa patienter är uttalad. På många håll är det istället läkare utan specialistutbildning i kirurgi samt även icke-läkare med viss kirurgisk skolning som utför de allra flesta operationerna. Denna praxis kallas &quot;task sharing&quot; och den äger nästan alltid rum med de lokala myndigheternas goda minne. Det har visat sig fungera väl när det gäller till exempel kejsarsnitt. Vilken nivå av task sharing som kan och bör gälla vid bråckkirurgi med nät är dock inte studerat. I denna studie ska vi därför implementera ett utbildningsprogram där sjukvårdspersonal som redan utför bråckkirurgi ska utbildas i att operera bråck med nät. Fyra länder kommer ingå i studien; Ghana, Sierra Leone, Uganda och Tanzania. I Ghana och Uganda är det kirurger och läkare som opererar bråck, men i Sierra Leone och Tanzania är det även icke-läkare som gör detta. I varje land kommer en lokal samarbetspartner utse individer som ska ingå i träningsprogrammet som kommer omfatta teori men framför allt fokusera på praktisk träning. Specialistkompetenta kirurger från de olika länderna samt från Sverige, Norge och USA kommer dela på ansvaret för att utbilda personal på plats. De som utbildas utvärderas kontinuerligt enligt en särskild mall. När de kan genomföra operationen bra, utvärderat av två olika specialister i kirurgi under två olika operationer, så anses de färdigutbildade. Därefter kan de börja operera de patienter som ingår i studien, totalt 228 i varje land. Patienterna följs sedan upp efter två veckor och efter ett år av blindade läkare som inte var med vid operationen och som inte vet vem som opererat patienten. De utfallsmått som ingår är recidiv av bråcket, postoperativa komplikationer, patientnöjdhet och kostnadseffektivitet. Denna studie är viktig då den undersöker hur en bättre kirurgisk metod för en av de allra vanligaste operationerna, nämligen den för bråckkirurgi kan implementeras i låginkomstmiljöer i Afrika. Den jämför utfall av kirurgi som utförs av olika personalkategorier för att spegla den kliniska praxisen i olika länder. Denna information är nödvändig att känna till innan mer storskaliga insatser för implementation av bråckkirurgi med nät kan genomföras så att de miljontals människor som inte har tillgång till god kirurgi kan få det i framtiden.

There is a great interest to biogas in Indonesia, but a major challenge is the lack of competence about the digestion process. This project is to fund the collaboration between 3 universities including University of Bor&#229;s and Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden and Gadjah Mada University in Indonesia. In addition, 4 other Indonesian universities will be identified to spread the knowledge on biogas in Indonesia, by both workshops and training in Sweden. The project leaders from these universities meet twice a year and synchronize the experimental tasks that will be carried out by one PhD student and ca 10 BSc/MSc students. The scientific goal is to develop rapid digestion for biogas production using 2-stage fermentation, where the 2nd stage uses flocculating bacteria or membrane bioreactors. A traditional digestion need about a month residence time, that is mainly because of extremely low growth rate of methane producing bacteria. In this project, we reduce this retention time by separating hydrolysis and methanogenesis. The solid materials in the slurry is hydrolyzed and dissolved in water in the first reactor. Then, the solid particles and materials are separated and the liquid pass through the second reactor that is filled with flocculating bacteria or entrapped in membranes. We expect the total retention time of the digestion process to be reduced from 30 days to 5 days. Utifrån det hållbara samhällets perspektiv är biogasproduktion baserad på förnyelsebara råvaror en attraktiv energikälla. I Indonesien är biogas producerad av bland annat avfall från fruktindustrin av stort intresse. Dock saknas viss kompetens i landet för att göra processen effektiv och ekonomisk bärkraftig. Detta samarbetsprojekt siktar på att med kompetens från Sverige och forskare i Indonesien sprida kunskap och kompetens hur man utvecklar dessa processer. Projektet avser att skapa plattformar för samarbete och kompetensutveckling över gränser genom s.k. arbetsmöten och kurser under 3 år. Utifrån denna kompetensutveckling kan sedan forsknings- och utvecklingsprojekt drivas betydligt mer effektivt och målinriktat. Mål för forskningsprojekten är bland annat att med hjälp av flockulerande bakterier och membranreaktorer undvika att befintliga toxiska ämnen påverkar produktionen negativt.

Artemisinin resistance is phenotypically characterized by delayed microscopy determined parasite clearance, which has been linked to mutations in the K13 propeller. However, K13 associated artemisinin resistance have not yet been documented in Africa. However, we have recently shown PCR determined delayed parasite clearance in parasite sub-populations in Bagamoyo District, Tanzania, using deep sequencing approaches, as well as temporal selection of genetic markers associated with lumefantrine tolerance/resistance. These findings may represent early warning signs of ACT resistance in East Africa. While awaiting development of alternative drugs optimal use of available tools are critically needed to protect/prolong the therapeutic lifespan of ACTs. We propose two new strategies with old tools. First, an extension of ACT therapy from 3 to 5 days. This will expose the parasites to 48 hours more of artemisinin. Second, to add a single low lose of the gametocytocidal drug primaquine (0.25 mg/kg) on the fifth treatment day to reduce transmission. This will be studied in a randomized controlled trial. The assessment will provide an opportunity to characterize the PCR determined day-3 and even day-5 positive parasite sub-population and improve the understanding of survival strategies among East-African P. falciparum. Trots dramatiska förbättringar under det senaste decenniet kvarstår Plasmodium falciparum malaria som en av vår tids viktigaste sjukdomar ur ett globalt perspektiv. Artemisinin-baserad kombinationsterapi (ACT) är den mest effektiva behandlingen som idag finns tillgänglig mot malaria. Utveckling av resistens mot dessa läkemedel skulle få allvarliga konsekvenser för global malaria kontroll då inga riktigt bra behandlingsalternativ finns tillgängliga. Vi har nyligen noterat tecken hos malariaparasiten i Tanzania att den börjat utveckla viss motståndskraft mot den långverkande substansen i ACT. I tillägg finns nu data som bekräftar att malariaparasiten i Sydostasien utvecklat motståndskraft mot den snabbverkande substansen i ACT (artemisinin). I en nyligen genomförd studie tillsammans med internationella kollegor har vi påvisat tecken till långsam avdödning av visa undergrupper av mariaparasiter även i Tanzania med hjälp av högkänslig molekylär teknik. Vår bedömning är därför att det föreligger en överhängande risk för ACT resistens i Tanzania. I väntan på att nya läkemedel finns tillgängliga är det av största vikt att finna nya strategier syftande till att förlänga den terapeutiska livslängden av artemisinin-baserad kombinationsbehandling. I denna studie ämnar vi studera betydelsen av förlängd behandling, från 3 till 5 dagar med artemisinin-baserad kombinationsbehandling samt göra tillägg med en single-dos av primakin, ett läkemedel som stoppar smitta mellan människa och mygga genom att avdöda könsformerna av malariaparasiten.

Artemisinin resistance is phenotypically characterized by delayed microscopy determined parasite clearance, which has been linked to mutations in the K13 propeller. However, K13 associated artemisinin resistance have not yet been documented in Africa. However, we have recently shown PCR determined delayed parasite clearance in parasite sub-populations in Bagamoyo District, Tanzania, using deep sequencing approaches, as well as temporal selection of genetic markers associated with lumefantrine tolerance/resistance. These findings may represent early warning signs of ACT resistance in East Africa. While awaiting development of alternative drugs optimal use of available tools are critically needed to protect/prolong the therapeutic lifespan of ACTs. We propose two new strategies with old tools. First, an extension of ACT therapy from 3 to 5 days. This will expose the parasites to 48 hours more of artemisinin. Second, to add a single low lose of the gametocytocidal drug primaquine (0.25 mg/kg) on the fifth treatment day to reduce transmission. This will be studied in a randomized controlled trial. The assessment will provide an opportunity to characterize the PCR determined day-3 and even day-5 positive parasite sub-population and improve the understanding of survival strategies among East-African P. falciparum. Trots dramatiska förbättringar under det senaste decenniet kvarstår Plasmodium falciparum malaria som en av vår tids viktigaste sjukdomar ur ett globalt perspektiv. Artemisinin-baserad kombinationsterapi (ACT) är den mest effektiva behandlingen som idag finns tillgänglig mot malaria. Utveckling av resistens mot dessa läkemedel skulle få allvarliga konsekvenser för global malaria kontroll då inga riktigt bra behandlingsalternativ finns tillgängliga. Vi har nyligen noterat tecken hos malariaparasiten i Tanzania att den börjat utveckla viss motståndskraft mot den långverkande substansen i ACT. I tillägg finns nu data som bekräftar att malariaparasiten i Sydostasien utvecklat motståndskraft mot den snabbverkande substansen i ACT (artemisinin). I en nyligen genomförd studie tillsammans med internationella kollegor har vi påvisat tecken till långsam avdödning av visa undergrupper av mariaparasiter även i Tanzania med hjälp av högkänslig molekylär teknik. Vår bedömning är därför att det föreligger en överhängande risk för ACT resistens i Tanzania. I väntan på att nya läkemedel finns tillgängliga är det av största vikt att finna nya strategier syftande till att förlänga den terapeutiska livslängden av artemisinin-baserad kombinationsbehandling. I denna studie ämnar vi studera betydelsen av förlängd behandling, från 3 till 5 dagar med artemisinin-baserad kombinationsbehandling samt göra tillägg med en single-dos av primakin, ett läkemedel som stoppar smitta mellan människa och mygga genom att avdöda könsformerna av malariaparasiten. Primakin kommer att ges under den 5:e behandlingsdagen av ACT för att maximera den avdödande effekten på könsformerna.

I det här projektet kommer vi att arbeta tillsammans med "Nepali Groundwater Resources Development Board" för att förnya datainsamling och lagring, genom utbildning av personal och utbildningsutbyten. För datalagring kommer vi att utveckla ett online system för information om grundvatten. Detta system kommer att organisera data och göra den lättillgänglig för myndigheter, investerare och lokalsamhällen i hela Nepal. För datainsamling kommer vi att utbilda samhällen i Tarai- och Paharregionerna i hur man använder mobiltelefoner för att övervaka grundvatten och små vattenkällor. För att bidra till minskad fattigdom kommer pilotprogram startas, där människor får betalt för att samla in data. Genom dessa två sätt att modernisera övervakning av grundvatten, kommer projektet att fungera som en länk mellan Nepals befolkning och dess grundvattenresurser. Efter att ha testat möjligheterna att modernisera grundvattensövervakningen i Tarai- och Paharregionerna, kommer vi att interagera med de många myndigheter i Nepal som är ansvariga för att säkra vattenresurser. Planen är att demonstrera (1) hur förbättrad övervakning kan minska osäkerheten vid planering för framtiden och (2) behovet av att förnya den nationella övervakningsplanen för grundvatten i Nepal. Vår vision är att använda detta inledande "Research Links" projekt för att övertyga internationella investerare att hjälpa till att utveckla, och finansiera, ett nationellt övervakningsprogram för grundvatten i Nepal.

Emerging new races of the wheat stem rust pathogen (Puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici) threaten wheat production primarily in East Africa, Middle East and Central Asia, but also the globally. Stem rust disease outbreaks in sensitive wheat may result in 100% reduction in yield, thus severely threaten food security. We have recently discovered and described a wheat-rye substitution line, 'SLU238', possessing a novel gene towards these emerging new races of the stem rust pathogen. We have transferred this novel gene (Sr59) to a Chinese Spring (CS) ph1b mutant wheat background through application of the breakage-fusion mechanism. Simultaneously, we also developed Kompetitive Allele Specific PCR (KASP) markers that can differentiate the presence of this specific gene, thereby being useful in practical plant breeding. Still, our discovery of the Sr59 gene does not contribute to food security as the gene has not yet been transferred to locally adapted wheat material. Our aim with this proposal is to 1) transfer the Sr59 resistance gene into adapted wheat genotypes; 2) secure agronomic and quality performance of these genotypes; and 3) transfer this new wheat into local systems of genotype improvements and variety spreading to farmers within the different regions that this proposal target (East Africa, Middle East and Central Asia). Vete kan anses vara världens största livmedelsgröda. Vete bidrar idag med 20% av både de kalorier och de proteiner som mänskligheten konsumerar. Vete är också en av de viktigaste grödorna i de regioner som detta projekt syftar till, dvs i Östra Afrika, Mellanöstern och Centralasien. I vissa länder i dessa regioner utgör vete sk stapelföda, i tex Tajikistan består 60% av det dagliga kaloriintaget av vete. För de fattiga bönderna i dessa regioner utgör vete både en stapelföda, där vete är lätt att lagra för användning året om och en handelsvara som kan ge lite extra inkomster vid bra skördar. Olika typer av rost på vete är nog den typ av sjukdom som påverkar skörden mest, om ingen kemisk bekämpning görs och vetet inte har någon resistens mot angrepp av rost kan avkastningen av vete minska med 100%, dvs man får ingen skörd alls. Ett stort problem här är de nya sjukdomsraserna (tex svartrost-rasen Ug99) som på senare år har blivit ett allt större problem, inte minst i Östafrika, Mellanöstern och Centralafrika. Mot dessa nya raser finns idag inga resistenta vetesorter, vilket är ett stort hot mot livsmedelssäkerheten i de nämnda regionerna. För ökad livsmedelssäkerhet och fattigdomsbekämpning är alltså resistenta sorter otroligt viktigt. I princip finns två strategier för att upprätthålla en bra skörd av god kvalitet under år med stora rostangrepp, antingen kan kemiska bekämpningsmedel användas eller kan man odla sorter som är resistenta mot rost. För veteodling i fattiga delar av Östafrika, Mellanöstern och Centralasien, så är resistenta sorter otroligt viktigt. För fattiga bönder är inköp av pesticider är en omöjlighet för den som inte har ekonomiska resurser till detta, Vidare så krävs en viss utbildning och läsförståelse för att kunna använda kemiska pesticider på ett riktigt sätt och för korrekt dosering. En ökad pesticid-användning eller en felaktig sådan kan också påverka klimat och miljö negativt. Möjligheten att odla resistenta sorter bidrar således inte bara till ökad livsmedelssäkerhet utan också till ökad jämlikhet. Ett problem vid resistensförädling är att patogenerna, dvs de organismer som är ansvariga för sjukdomarna hos värdväxten, i detta fall vetet, regelbundet förändras och på så sätt kan de angripa vete med gener som tidigare stod för resistensen hos vetet. Detta innebär att det ständigt finns behov av att hitta nya gener som är resistenta mot sjukdomarna. Inom det här sökta projektet ha vi tillgång till ett extremt unikt och intressant vetematerial som har tagits fram under en livstid av Professor Arnulf Merker som tidigare hade sin verksamhet vid Sveriges Lantbruksuniversitet (SLU). Vetematerialet består av en rad linjer som har erhållit translokationer eller substitutioner av kromosomer från släktingar som man korsat vetet med. Linjerna består alltså framför allt av vete men med enstaka kromosomer som kommer från någon släkting. Detta material har visat sig innehålla nya resistensgener mot ett antal olika sjukdomar. Inom ett tidigare projekt som hade finansiering från Monsanto Beachell Borlaug stiftelsen i USA har vi lyckats att både visa att det finns nya gener för svartrost-resistens i materialet samt att överföra dessa gener i småbitar, som sk Robertsonian traslokationer till en mer "ren" vetebakgrund. Denna överföring underlättar möjligheterna att använda dessa gener inom växtförädling för att kunna ta fram nya sorter som är resistenta mot alla idag kända raser av svartrost (inklusive Ug99). Vi har också i det förra projektet tagit fram sk KASP markörer som kan användas i växtförädlingen för att specificera om "våra" resistensgener finns tillgängliga i det vetematerial man undersöker. Syftet med det här projektet är att transferera de nya generna vi har upptäckt i vårt vetematerial till vetematerial som är adapterat till de olika regionerna i Östafrika, Mellanöstern och Centralasien.

Emerging new races of the wheat stem rust pathogen (Puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici) threaten wheat production primarily in East Africa, Middle East and Central Asia, but also the globally. Stem rust disease outbreaks in sensitive wheat may result in 100% reduction in yield, thus severely threaten food security. We have recently discovered and described a wheat-rye substitution line, 'SLU238', possessing a novel gene towards these emerging new races of the stem rust pathogen. We have transferred this novel gene (Sr59) to a Chinese Spring (CS) ph1b mutant wheat background through application of the breakage-fusion mechanism. Simultaneously, we also developed Kompetitive Allele Specific PCR (KASP) markers that can differentiate the presence of this specific gene, thereby being useful in practical plant breeding. Still, our discovery of the Sr59 gene does not contribute to food security as the gene has not yet been transferred to locally adapted wheat material. Our aim with this proposal is to 1) transfer the Sr59 resistance gene into adapted wheat genotypes; 2) secure agronomic and quality performance of these genotypes; and 3) transfer this new wheat into local systems of genotype improvements and variety spreading to farmers within the different regions that this proposal target (East Africa, Middle East and Central Asia). Vete kan anses vara världens största livmedelsgröda. Vete bidrar idag med 20% av både de kalorier och de proteiner som mänskligheten konsumerar. Vete är också en av de viktigaste grödorna i de regioner som detta projekt syftar till, dvs i Östra Afrika, Mellanöstern och Centralasien. I vissa länder i dessa regioner utgör vete sk stapelföda, i tex Tajikistan består 60% av det dagliga kaloriintaget av vete. För de fattiga bönderna i dessa regioner utgör vete både en stapelföda, där vete är lätt att lagra för användning året om och en handelsvara som kan ge lite extra inkomster vid bra skördar. Olika typer av rost på vete är nog den typ av sjukdom som påverkar skörden mest, om ingen kemisk bekämpning görs och vetet inte har någon resistens mot angrepp av rost kan avkastningen av vete minska med 100%, dvs man får ingen skörd alls.

While these processes are generally viewed as necessary to deal with past wrongdoings, it remains unclear how participation in top-down vs. bottom-up processes impacts upon perceptions of security and socioeconomic cooperation in the local settings. We will undertake a structured-focused comparison of three post-conflict settings that had varying approaches to transitional justice: Sierra Leone, Bosnia-Herzegovina, and Mozambique. The first two implemented official, top-down strategies, while the latter relied on locally-derived, grassroots processes to overcome their violent pasts. Data will be collected through in-depth interviews and focus group discussions with victims and perpetrators who continue to live in the same communities. This project will contribute to Swedish development goals of: 1) reducing poverty through understanding how societal trust and social capital can be increased, thus paving the way for economic development; 2) addressing oppression and human rights abuses through understanding how to best stop cycles of violence via reconciliation; and 3) empowering females by exploring how women's experiences and needs can be best met in post-conflict settings. Forskning rörande övergångsstrukturer för rättvisa och försoning har under senare år genererat en debatt huruvida toppstyrda (t.ex. krigstribunaler och statligt sanktionerade sanningskommissioner) eller "botten upp" (t.ex. traditionella eller gräsrotsinitierade processer) strategier är mest fördelaktiga för att hantera frågor rörande rättvisa och försoning i samhällen som genomlidit systematiska övergrepp. Syftet med studien är därför att undersöka vilken effekt respektive strategi har på perceptioner av säkerhet i lokala samhällen som drabbats av väpnade konflikter. Vi kommer att göra en komparativ studie av tre samhällen i post-konfliktländer som har implementerat olika typer av övergångsstrukturer för rättvisa och försoning: Lasvadalen i Bosnien-Hercegovina, Gorongosa distriktet i Mocambique, samt Kono distriktet i Sierra Leone. Både Bosnien-Hercegovina och Sierra Leone använda sig av övergångsstrukturer som inkluderade krigstribunaler och sanningskommissioner, medan Mocambique förlitade sig mer på lokaldrivna processer (traditionella försoningsmekanismer). Det empiriska materialet kommer att samlas in med hjälp av djupintervjuer och fokusgrupper med offer samt förövare, som fortfarande lever i samma lokala samhällen. Givet att dessa grupper tvingas att interagera på en daglig basis, är det av stor vikt att skapa en större förståelse för hur toppstyrda respektive "botten upp" initiativ för rättvisa och försoning påverkar byggandet av varaktig fred. Studien har dessutom potential att göra ett viktigt bidrag till Sveriges övergripande utvecklingsmål att minska fattigdomen och förtrycket för de mest utsatta grupperna i låginkomstländer. Forskningsrön inom ekonomi har, t.ex. påvisat att tillit och socialt kapital har avgörande betydelse för ekonomisk tillväxt och företagsamhet. Det är därför av avgörande betydelse att veta om toppstyrda eller botten upp övergångsstrukturer är bäst på att generera säkerhet och tillit mellan krigsdrabbade grupper; utan denna kunskap finns det en överhängande risk att ökad polarisering förhindrar ekonomisk återhämtning i krigsdrabbade länder. Vidare är förtryck och brott mot mänskliga rättigheter en central anledning till att inbördeskrig bryter ut och fortsätter. Om lokala och internationella aktörer inte söker att adressera sådana överträdelser, finns det en överhängande risk att politiska eliter fortsätter använda samma destruktiva beteende även i framtiden.

This project will focus on thermochemical pretreatment and enzymatic hydrolysis of quinoa stalks and seed coats, two abundant residues of Bolivian agriculture. While stalks will be directly pretreated, seed coats will first be processed to biopesticides and the solid residue will then be sent to pretreatment. The sugars produced in the enzymatic hydrolysis of both substrates will be bio-converted to exopolysaccharide-based biopolymers using a Bolivian bacterial strain, and to ethanol by yeast using high-solids concentration processes. Using high solids loads is advantageous with regard to product recovery economics, but it is challenging due to mass transfer limitations and to the accumulation of fermentation inhibitors. The current project intends to enhance the mass transfer by introducing a pre-saccharification step prior to the simultaneous saccharification and fermentation, and the inhibition problem will be alleviated with reducing agents. High ethanol titers will also be reached by adding molasses to the hydrolysates. A techno-economic evaluation of the different approaches will be performed. The research will result in efficient processes for conversion of lignocellulosic feedstocks and in a more diversified production of Bolivian quinoa sector Ökad produktion och användning av biobaserade produkter från jord- och skogsbruk har visat sig ha tydligt positiva sociala och ekonomiska effekter på samhällen i stark utveckling, t.ex. i Latinamerika. Inte minst gäller detta utvecklingen på landsbygden. Biobaserade produkter kan vara flytande biobränslen, t.ex. etanol, samt gröna kemikalier och material, t.ex. plast baserad på förnybar råvara. Speciellt fördelaktigt är att använda rester som innehåller cellulosa, eftersom cellulosabaserade rester inte konkurrerar med framställning av livsmedel och eftersom restprodukter och avfall har ett lågt värde, vilket är viktigt för processens ekonomi. Cellulosabaserade råvaror kan omvandlas till värdefulla produkter genom teknik baserad på förbehandling, försockring och förjäsning. Förbehandling är en termokemisk process där materialet behandlas vid högt tryck och hög temperatur (vanligen runt 200 grader C). Försockring görs bäst med biologiska katalysatorer, enzymer, eftersom de har förutsättningar att ge relativt höga utbyten. Förjäsning utförs med olika slags mikroorganismer, t.ex. bakterier eller jästsvampar. I det här projektet kommer bolivianska och svenska forskare att samarbeta för att undersöka hur rester från bolivianskt jordbruk kan användas för att framställa värdefulla produkter baserade på förnybar råvara. De rester som kommer att studeras är stjälkar och fröskal från quinoa. Quinoa ger frön som kan användas till maträtter, på samma sätt som ris eller couscous. Efter det att man utvunnit fröna, som blir till mat, återstår emellertid en cellulosabaserad rest, som huvudsakligen består av växtens stjälk. En annan rest från quinoaproduktion är fröskal som genereras under den mekaniska tvättningsprocess som används för att avlägsna växtens bittra komponenter. Biprodukter från quinoaframställning har idag mycket lågt värde och användningen är mycket begränsad. I det här projektet kommer stjälkar och fröskal från quinoa att utsättas för förbehandling, försockring och förjäsning med syftet att göra processerna så effektiva som möjligt. Stjälkarna kommer att förbehandlas direkt, medan fröskalen först extraheras för framställning av biopesticider och sedan genomgår förbehandling. Tre olika typer av produkter kommer att studeras, nämligen cellulosabaserad etanol, biopolymerer och biopesticider, dvs. biologiska bekämpningsmedel. Produktion av biopolymeren kommer att studeras i processer som baseras på en nyligen upptäckt salt-tolerant bakterie som isolerats från den bolivianska högplatån Altiplano. För produktion av cellulosabaserad etanol kommer processer baserade på jäst att studeras. Den mesta etanol som tillverkas i världen idag härrör från rörsocker (som i Brasilien) eller stärkelse (som i USA). Framställning av kemiska produkter från cellulosa är fördelaktigt jämfört med rörsocker och stärkelse så tillvida att cellulosan inte kan användas för produktion av livsmedel. Nackdelen med cellulosa jämfört med rörsocker eller stärkelse är att det tekniskt sett är svårare att med högt utbyte och till en rimlig kostnad konvertera den till socker. Av ekonomiska skäl vill man ha en koncentrerad produkt snarare än en utspädd. I det här projektet kommer två nya strategier att konvertera cellulosabaserad råvara till en produkt med hög koncentration att undersökas. Den ena strategin innebär utförande av en försockrings- och förjäsningsprocess med hög halt fast fas genom ett enzymatisk försteg med samtidig tillsats av små mängder av en kemisk substans som underlättar konvertering vid höga koncentrationer, vilket är baserat på en uppfinning av projektets svenska part. Den andra strategin baseras på blandning av cellulosan med melass, alltså en rest från sockerframställningen. De båda strategierna kommer att utvärderas dels tekniskt och dels ekonomiskt.

Bakgrund Under de senaste decennierna har en hög förekomst av kronisk njursvikt av okänd orsak, (CKDu) rapporterats från landsbygdsområden i Centralamerika, Sri Lanka och Indien. Rapporterna från de olika områdena har mycket gemensamt, sjukdomen drabbar ofta fattiga jordbruksarbetare som bor och arbetar i varmt klimat och är inte kopplade till traditionella riskfaktorer för kronisk njursjukdom såsom högt blodtryck eller diabetes mellitus. Det stora antalet patienter med CKDu orsakar stora påfrestningar på de redan begränsade sjukvårdsresurserna i regionerna och många njursjuka patienter får inte den vård och uppföljning som behövs, vilket resulterar i ökat lidande och sjukdomsbörda för patienten och försämrad socioekonomi för regionen. Ännu är orsaken till CKDu i de olika regionerna inte helt klarlagd. I Centralamerika är den ledande hypotesen att orsaken kan vara upprepade uttorkning (vatten och saltförluster) orsakad av tungt fysiskt arbete i varmt klimat. Denna hypotes har de senaste åren fått mer stöd från både experimentella studier och studier av lantbruksarbetare under arbete. I Sri Lanka har forskare främst föreslagit olika miljötoxiner såsom tungmetaller och bekämpningsmedel som orsak till CKDu. Trots de stora likheterna mellan CKDu-epidemierna i de olika regionerna finns det i dagsläget inga definitiva bevis på att de är samma sjukdom, främst på grund av en brist på jämförande studier av patientergrupper och vävnadsprover från njurarna, s.k. njurbiopsier. Målsättning: Det övergripande målet för detta projekt är att skapa ett nätverk mellan läkare och forskare i drabbade områden och forskningsaktiva inom detta fält. Syftet är att långsiktigt stödja och utveckla forskning för att förbättra prognos, diagnostik, behandling och prevention av CKDu i Centralamerika och Sydostasien. Projektplan: Vi kommer att noggrant undersöka utvalda patientgrupper med CKDu i drabbade områden i El Salvador, Nicaragua, Sri Lanka och Indien för att se om patientgrupperna i dessa länder har liknande biokemiska förändringar i blod och urin samt liknande bild vid avancerad mikroskopisk undersökning av njurbiopsier. För att stärka samarbetet kring sjukdomen kommer vi även att skapa och etablera ett nätverk av njurläkare, patologer och forskare från de olika regionerna vilket kommer att förbättra den lokala kapaciteten vad gäller diagnostik och vidare forskning inom CKDu. En workshop planeras i Sverige för deltagare i nätverket där resultaten från de jämförande patientstudierna att presenteras och diskuteras. Vidare kommer ett protokoll utarbetas för att på ett systematiskt sätt kategorisera och bedöma njurbiopsier, d.v.s. de mikroskopiska njurförändringar som ses vid CKDu. Betydelse: Om vi inom detta projekt finner en nära likhet mellan patientgrupperna från de olika kontinenterna, tyder det på att sjukdomarna har samma orsak och detta kommer att vara viktig information i sökandet om vad som orsakar CKDu. Att finna orsaken bakom CKDu är av största vikt för att kunna förebygga och behandla sjukdomen. De gemensamma diagnoskriterier för förändringar i njurbiopsierna som tas fram vid den workshop som beskrivs ovan kommer att kunna användas för diagnostik på njurbiopsier, men även för vidare viktiga studier inom CKDu, framför allt kommer det vara viktigt i kommande prevalensstudier. Genom samarbetet inom nätverket kommer nya frågeställningar att kunna identifieras och fler projekt kunna initieras vilket driver forskningen om CKDu vidare. Kronisk njursvikt oavsett ursprung i en redan missgynnade befolkning ger förödande konsekvenser för den sjuka individen, vilket också undergräver socioekonomiska situationen för familjen.

Bakgrund Under de senaste decennierna har en hög förekomst av kronisk njursvikt av okänd orsak, (CKDu) rapporterats från landsbygdsområden i Centralamerika, Sri Lanka och Indien. Rapporterna från de olika områdena har mycket gemensamt, sjukdomen drabbar ofta fattiga jordbruksarbetare som bor och arbetar i varmt klimat och är inte kopplade till traditionella riskfaktorer för kronisk njursjukdom såsom högt blodtryck eller diabetes mellitus. Det stora antalet patienter med CKDu orsakar stora påfrestningar på de redan begränsade sjukvårdsresurserna i regionerna och många njursjuka patienter får inte den vård och uppföljning som behövs, vilket resulterar i ökat lidande och sjukdomsbörda för patienten och försämrad socioekonomi för regionen. Ännu är orsaken till CKDu i de olika regionerna inte helt klarlagd. I Centralamerika är den ledande hypotesen att orsaken kan vara upprepade uttorkning (vatten och saltförluster) orsakad av tungt fysiskt arbete i varmt klimat. Denna hypotes har de senaste åren fått mer stöd från både experimentella studier och studier av lantbruksarbetare under arbete. I Sri Lanka har forskare främst föreslagit olika miljötoxiner såsom tungmetaller och bekämpningsmedel som orsak till CKDu. Trots de stora likheterna mellan CKDu-epidemierna i de olika regionerna finns det i dagsläget inga definitiva bevis på att de är samma sjukdom, främst på grund av en brist på jämförande studier av patientergrupper och vävnadsprover från njurarna, s.k. njurbiopsier.

Following an ethnomedical survey, traditional medicines and medicinal plants will be collected in Kenya and Tanzania. Their constituents will be isolated, and identified by NMR and MS analyses. The bioactivity of the extracts and the isolated constituents will be determined using cell-based assays. Standardized preparation techniques ensuring enrichment of the antiplasmodial, antitubercular or antibiotic and removal of the toxic ingredients will be established, along with the development of a methodology for rapid automated analysis of complex herbal extracts. These will be transferred to East Africa. The biochemical pathways targeted by the most promising bioactive substances will be identified by chemical genomics. Advanced NMR methods will be used to identify the binding mode of the substances to their protein targets to support their development into drugs. Besides achieving high scientific goals, the project aims the multidisciplinary training of African MSc and PhD students, and the establishment of a validation center for ethnomedicines at two African universities. It will support domestication of medicinal plants, facilitate the economic development of East Africa by strategic knowledge transfer and by supporting the local cottage industry, and increase patient safety. Moderna läkemedel är otillgängliga för de flesta människor i Öst- och Centralafrika p.g.a. deras höga pris. Traditionella naturläkemedel är därför ytterst viktiga för behandlingen av patienter i Afrika. Framställningen av dessa preparat, oftast extrakt av ett flertal växter, är inte välreglerad. Kontroller har visat att en stor del av naturläkemedlen som säljs i Afrika är kontaminerade med giftiga molekyler eller är förfalskade och därmed saknar effekt. Bristen på moderna läkemedel och opålitligheten i traditionella mediciner utgör ett stort problem för Afrika. Detta resulterar i onödigt lidande och stora ekonomiska förluster. Målet med projektet är att utvärdera Östafrikanska naturmediciner som används mot malaria, tuberkulos och bakteriella infektioner. Dessutom strävar vi efter att möta de största hälsoproblemen och de relaterade samhällsutmaningarna i området genom att rationellt använda afrikansk inhemsk kunskap och lokala naturresurser. Detta förväntas resultera i en ekonomiskt och ekologiskt hållbar lösning. Vi kommer att samla information om medicinska växter och dokumentera deras användning. Därefter kommer vi att plocka växterna, isolera deras bioaktiva molekyler och identifiera de med moderna kemiska metoder. Både växternas extrakt, som oftast utgör den traditionella medicinen, och innehållande molekyler som har isolerats, kommer att testas för antimalaria-, antituberkulos- och antimikrobiell aktivitet samt toxicitet. På detta sätt kommer enbart traditionella mediciner med en önskvärd effekt selekteras fram, samt deras framställning standardiseras för att nå maximal aktivitet med minimala biverkningar. Den lokala befolkningen kommer att informeras om de förbättrade framställningsmetoderna och varnas för farliga och overksamma preparat. Vi kommer att utveckla en ny metod som möjliggör snabb kvalitetskontroll av naturläkemedel. Vi planerar att initiera användningen av denna metod i Nairobi (Kenya) och i Dar es Salaam (Tanzania) för att öka patientsäkerheten. Ett mål med projektet är att lokalbefolkningen ska producera traditionella läkemedel av högre kvalitet. Detta kommer att gynna den lokala "stug-industrin" och därmed initiera en önskad ekonomisk utveckling för östra Afrika. För att stödja utvecklingen av nya moderna läkemedel mot malaria, tuberkulos och bakteriella infektioner, identifierar vi naturläkemedlens målmolekyler i vår kropp. Det här kommer även att bidra med nya substanser till svensk industriell läkemedelsutveckling. Under projektets tid kommer vi att överföra kunskap till Tanzania och Kenya genom att träna tanzaniska och kenyanska studenter och doktorander i moderna kemiska och biologiska forskningsmetoder vid Göteborgs Universitetet. Sommarkurser i kemi och biologi kommer också att ges vid universitetet i Nairobi och universitetet i Dar es Salaam. Sammanfattningsvis förväntas projektet att bevara inhemsk kunskap och bidra till en säker användning av traditionella medicinska växter. De nya standardiserade produktions- och valideringsteknikerna kommer att höja patientsäkerheten. Den strategiska kunskapsöverförningen förväntas stödja den lokala ekonomin igenom att skapa nya jobb och bidra till att öka kvaliteten av undervisning och forskning i Östafrika.

Following an ethnomedical survey, traditional medicines and medicinal plants will be collected in Kenya and Tanzania. Their constituents will be isolated, and identified by NMR and MS analyses. The bioactivity of the extracts and the isolated constituents will be determined using cell-based assays. Standardized preparation techniques ensuring enrichment of the antiplasmodial, antitubercular or antibiotic and removal of the toxic ingredients will be established, along with the development of a methodology for rapid automated analysis of complex herbal extracts. These will be transferred to East Africa. The biochemical pathways targeted by the most promising bioactive substances will be identified by chemical genomics. Advanced NMR methods will be used to identify the binding mode of the substances to their protein targets to support their development into drugs. Besides achieving high scientific goals, the project aims the multidisciplinary training of African MSc and PhD students, and the establishment of a validation center for ethnomedicines at two African universities. It will support domestication of medicinal plants, facilitate the economic development of East Africa by strategic knowledge transfer and by supporting the local cottage industry, and increase patient safety. Moderna läkemedel är otillgängliga för de flesta människor i Öst- och Centralafrika p.g.a. deras höga pris. Traditionella naturläkemedel är därför ytterst viktiga för behandlingen av patienter i Afrika. Framställningen av dessa preparat, oftast extrakt av ett flertal växter, är inte välreglerad. Kontroller har visat att en stor del av naturläkemedlen som säljs i Afrika är kontaminerade med giftiga molekyler eller är förfalskade och därmed saknar effekt. Bristen på moderna läkemedel och opålitligheten i traditionella mediciner utgör ett stort problem för Afrika. Detta resulterar i onödigt lidande och stora ekonomiska förluster. Målet med projektet är att utvärdera Östafrikanska naturmediciner som används mot malaria, tuberkulos och bakteriella infektioner. Dessutom strävar vi efter att möta de största hälsoproblemen och de relaterade samhällsutmaningarna i området genom att rationellt använda afrikansk inhemsk kunskap och lokala naturresurser. Detta förväntas resultera i en ekonomiskt och ekologiskt hållbar lösning. Vi kommer att samla information om medicinska växter och dokumentera deras användning. Därefter kommer vi att plocka växterna, isolera deras bioaktiva molekyler och identifiera de med moderna kemiska metoder. Både växternas extrakt, som oftast utgör den traditionella medicinen, och innehållande molekyler som har isolerats, kommer att testas för antimalaria-, antituberkulos- och antimikrobiell aktivitet samt toxicitet. På detta sätt kommer enbart traditionella mediciner med en önskvärd effekt selekteras fram, samt deras framställning standardiseras för att nå maximal aktivitet med minimala biverkningar. Den lokala befolkningen kommer att informeras om de förbättrade framställningsmetoderna och varnas för farliga och overksamma preparat. Vi kommer att utveckla en ny metod som möjliggör snabb kvalitetskontroll av naturläkemedel. Vi planerar att initiera användningen av denna metod i Nairobi (Kenya) och i Dar es Salaam (Tanzania) för att öka patientsäkerheten. Ett mål med projektet är att lokalbefolkningen ska producera traditionella läkemedel av högre kvalitet. Detta kommer att gynna den lokala "stug-industrin" och därmed initiera en önskad ekonomisk utveckling för östra Afrika. För att stödja utvecklingen av nya moderna läkemedel mot malaria, tuberkulos och bakteriella infektioner, identifierar vi naturläkemedlens målmolekyler i vår kropp. Det här kommer även att bidra med nya substanser till svensk industriell läkemedelsutveckling. Under projektets tid kommer vi att överföra kunskap till Tanzania och Kenya genom att träna tanzaniska och kenyanska studenter och doktorander i moderna kemiska och biologiska forskningsmetoder vid Göteborgs Universitetet. Sommarkurser i kemi och biologi kommer också att ges vid universitetet i Nairobi och universitetet i Dar es Salaam. Sammanfattningsvis förväntas projektet att bevara inhemsk kunskap och bidra till en säker användning av traditionella medicinska växter. De nya standardiserade produktions- och valideringsteknikerna kommer att höja patientsäkerheten. Den strategiska kunskapsöverförningen förväntas stödja den lokala ekonomin igenom att skapa nya jobb och bidra till att öka kvaliteten av undervisning och forskning i Östafrika.

These issues are also central foreign policy and development cooperation objectives of many Western democracies, including Sweden with the addition of development assistance goal 1. Hence, for academic as well as for policy purposes, there is need for comprehensive, nuanced, reliable, and detailed measures of human rights, civil liberties, political institutions, media, civil society, women's rights, different forms of oppression, and other aspects related to democracy. This basic research project will ensure that such necessary data is available for research for all 48 Least Developed Countries as well as for the 36 countries identified as development cooperation countries for Sweden. This constitutes indispensable basic research to make possible intricate and cutting-edge research on issues on political developments, human rights, gender equality, and freedom from oppression in developing nations: Over 350 indicators, as well as 43 indices ensuring annually updated data. The project would be located at the V-Dem Institute, University of Gothenburg thus drawing on the accumulated experience, the pre-existing infrastructure and protocols as well as the academic network of over 2,600 scholars and experts from over 170 countries, which significantly reduces risk and cuts down on many costs. Studiet av demokrati och demokratisering, politisk utveckling, mänskliga rättigheter, och jämlikhet är helt centrala sedan länge inom statsvetenskapen men får allt större betydning också inom ekonomi, globaliseringsstudier, sociologi, och historia. Sedan kalla krigets slut har dessutom dessa ämnen blivit föremål för framträdande målsättningar i många länder utrikespolitik och samarbetsavtal med utvecklingsländer. Detta gäller även för Sverige som t ex sedan 2013 har ett nytt utvecklingsmål (delmål 1): "Stärkt demokrati och jämställdhet, ökad respekt för mänskliga rättigheter och frihet från förtryck" (Skr. 2013/14:131). Det är således av yttersta vikt både för foskningsändamål som för policy- och praktiskt orienterad verksamhet att det finns fulltäckande, nyanserade, detaljrika, och pålitliga mätinstrument, som också tillåter jämförelser mellan länder och över tid, för olika aspekter av mänskliga rättigheter, civila samhället, media, politiska institutioner och processser, kvinnors rättigheter, olika former av repression, och för andra aspekter av demokrati. Målsättningen med detta grundforskningsprojekt är därför att samla in, analysera, processa, och göra tillgängliga för vidare forskning data för alla 48 minst utvecklade länder i världen ("Least Developed Countries", LDCs) liksom för samtliga 36 länder vilka Sverige har som utvecklingssamarbetspartners. Det är ett visst överlapp mellan de två kategorierna så i allt (minus microstater) handlar det om 64 länder totalt. För 26 av dem finns redan finansiering att utföra grundforskningen ifråga, och förevarande projekt inriktar sig därför på det 38 återstående länderna. Projektet utgör således helt avgörande grundforskning som kommer att möjliggöra avgörande forskningsframsteg i förståelsen av utvecklingen när det gäller politisk utveckling (och tillbakagång), mänskliga rättigheter, politisk och social jämlikhet, frihet från förtryck, och andra relaterade frågor som forskningen idag förgäves söker svar på, och områden där också det internationella samfundet inklusive svenska UD och Sida söker svar som kan vägleda utrikespolitik och utvecklingssamarbeten. Projektet bygger vidare på existerande Varieties of Democracy (V-Dem) som genom mycket omfattande grundforskning har skapat en unik databas med fokus på demokrati som på fyra sätt är överlägsen existerande mått: ca 350 indikatorer och 43 index med relevans för olika sätt att definiera demokrati med data för 173 länder från 1900 till år 2012. Detta möjliggör en mycket mer nyanserad beskrivning av utvecklingen inom varje enskilt land samtidigt som databasen erbjuder jämförbarhet mellan länder och över tid. V-Dem erbjuder också fullständig transparens i mätmetoder och kodningsprocedurer vilka ligger i samhällsvetenskapernas absoluta framkant. Men data finns inte uppdaterad för LDCs och Sveriges samarbetsländer vilket kraftigt minskar användbarheten för studier av smatida och pågående processer i dessa länder där ofta mycket förändras på kort tid. Avsaknaden av uppdaterad data efter 2012 minskar också möjligheterna för använding i policyanalys och aktuell mätning av delmål 1. Med hjälp av forskningsbidrag från M&M Wallenbergsstiftelsen, Mo Ibrahim Foundation, och EU (EC/Decvo) finns finansiering för denna grundforskning för 26 av de 64 länderna i LDCs+svenska samarbetsländer.

Förslaget är att detta projekt härbärgeras av V-Dem institutet på Göteborgs universitet och att projektet använder och drar nytta av de redan utvecklade metoderna för datainsamling, aggergering i specialutvecklade Bayesianska "ordinal item respons theory-models", och kvalitetsprotokoll som ligger på absoluta forskningsfronten, vilka finns på V-Dem Sweden The Swedish Research Council The Swedish Research Council +46 8 546 44 000 vetenskapsradet@vr.se www.vr.se Box 1035, 101 38 Stockholm, Sweden Developing countries, unspecified Research/scientific institutions Other Multisector V-Dem data set komplett tom 2020.

The project is aimed at adapting and promoting recent methodological advancements in large data analysis, made by the Swedish partner, in research and clinical practice at institutions in Ukraine and Georgia. The proposed approach based on principles of statistical learning and inspired by the insights into information processing mechanisms in the brain's cortical networks is currently being refined and validated as part of a different project. Our ambition in this project is to build upon the experiences of the Swedish partner and collaboratively work towards a generic data handling framework for novel exploratory analysis of multimodal brain recordings, which can be deployed at the partner labs. This initiative will unlock the potential of fast developing Ukrainian and Georgian research within a broad area of cognitive and clinical neuroscience. The focus will be on establishing a collaborative research network through multiple visits and workshops that will interface brain science in Ukraine and Georgia with neuroinformatics. We envisage that in the longer perspective the outcomes of this three-year project will contribute to the advancement of medical services with obvious societal benefits. Studier av den mänskliga hjärnan kvarstår som en av vår tids mest utmanande vetenskapliga uppgifter. Omfattningen av de bidrag som gjorts i och med framstegen inom hjärnforskning är enorma, de kliniska implikationerna inkluderade. Hjärnsjukdomar såsom demens, epilepsi, olika typer av huvudvärk, multipel skleros, Parkinsons sjukdom, stroke, Alzheimers sjukdom eller attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) anses av Världshälsoorganisationen (WHO) vara bland de största hoten mot folkhälsan. De leder inte bara till reducerad livslängd utan inverkar också, på grund av sina förödande konsekvenser för mänskligt beteende och kognition, negativt på livskvaliteten. Tidig upptäckt av neurologiska sjukdomar kan avsevärt öka chanserna för framgångsrik behandling. En av de mest effektiva ickeinvasiva metoderna för att studera effekterna av läkemedel samt tidig diagnosticering av strukturella och funktionella hjärnförändringar på grund av exempelvis demens, Alzheimers sjukdom eller epilepsi är hjärnavbildning med klinisk teknologi såsom positronemissionstomografi (PET), funktionell magnetresonansavbildning (fMRI), electroencefalografi (EEG) samt magnetoencefalografi (MEG). EEG har erhållit särskild uppmärksamhet på grund av dess breda tillgänglighet, låga kostnad och relativt enkla användning.

To this end we will use crushed seeds from the endogenic Moringa tree as a flocculating agent to clear water from pollutant particles, and solar assisted photocatalysis for chemical detoxification. The main objective is to make new bifunctional copper-zinc oxide photocatalysts with simple and sustainable methods that can degrade biorecalcitrant pollutants, e.g. dyes, pharmaceutics and consumer chemicals. The scientific rationale is based on synthesis of nanoscale pn-junctions to perform simultaneous oxidation and reduction reactions, employing a large fraction of solar light. A novelty of our approach is to adapt advanced scientific methods to simple conditions and make use of abundant materials. To facilitate transfer of project results we will build the project on existing collaborations with Kenya, primarily Uni Eldoret, where we deployed previous water cleaning technologies and helped to build up a network and laboratory resources. The overall goal is to improve on methods to purify water sustainable technologies, and to promote African research in this field. The project is divided into five different work packages distributed over 4 years, and involves PhD students, undergraduate students and researches in Uppsala and Kenya.

Vattenrening är idag en av de viktigaste utmaningarna för kontroll av föroreningar i vår miljö, vilket bl. a. uppmärksammas i FNs resolution 64/292 från 2010. I utvecklingsländer är orent vatten en vanlig dödsorsak; speciellt bland barn. Vatten är orsak till sociala problem, till exempel kvinnor som inte vågar uppsöka toalett eller hämta vatten på grund av risk för överfall. Vatten är sedan urminnes tider källa till väpnade konflikter. Effektiva sätt att rena vatten är därför av globalt intresse. De processer och tekniker som finns i dagsläget minskar kraftigt föroreningar, men är ofta antingen inte utbyggda eller tillräckliga i många delar av världen. Svårnedbrytbara kemikalier, t.ex. färgämnen från textilindustri, läkemedelsrester, hushållskemikalier, etc. är speciellt problematiska - både för människa och miljö. En del av dessa är toxiska och kan inte behandlas med biologiska vattenreningstekniker eftersom de är giftiga för mikroorganismer i den biologiska bädden. De långsiktiga effekterna för flertalet av dessa ämnen är i stort outredda. Alternativa kemiska behandlingsmetoder blir därför mer och mer vanligt. Så kallade avancerade oxidationsprocesser (AOP; 'Advanced oxidation processes' på engelska) hör till denna klass av metoder. De är effektiva mot en stor klass av förorening inklusive svårnedbrytbara kemiska föreningar. AOP tekniker har förmåga att uppfylla de allt strängar miljökrav och energieffektivitet som tillämpas globalt, samtidigt som de effektivt kan rena vatten. Till exempel, ozon och UV-behandling har nyligen tillämpats för att sanera bakteriella föroreningar i dricksvatten i Östersund och Skellefteå. Fotokatalytisk vattenrening är en miljövänlig teknik som endast behöver solljus för att bryta ned kemiska och biologiska föroreningar. I själva verket kan oxidationspotentialen för fotokatalys vara högre än för både t.ex. ozon och väteperoxid (som vanligen används som desinfektionsmedel på sjukhus). Trots omfattande forskningsinsatser för att utveckla solljusaktiva AOP-tekniker är deras effektivitet idag för låg för att på allvar kunna ersätta befintliga tekniker. Det finns dock principiella fördelar med solljusdriven AOP-teknik, bl. a. hur reaktiva radikaler kan produceras och anpassas för specifika krav. De främsta nackdelarna med solljusdrivna AOP-tekniker, inklusive fotokatalytisk vattenrening, är att de måste användas i kombination med andra tekniker för att ta bort grumlighet (partikular substanser), och att det för närvarande är alltför ineffektiva för behandling av stora koncentrationer av förorenande ämnen. Trots detta kan användning av solljusdriven AOP-teknik redan idag anses som mogen att användas som förbehandlingssteg för att accelerera nedbrytning av svårnedbrytbara föroreningar i små koncentrationer; speciellt för småskalig användking. I detta projekt ska vi kombinera två metoder att rena vatten: 1) flockning av partikelföroreningar med proteiner extraherade ut krossade Moringafrön, samt 2) soldriven fotokatalytisk oxidation av organiska föroreningar. På så sätt kan vi lösa ett av problemen med solljusdriven fotokatalys av grumligt vatten som nämns ovan, dvs. vi kan på ett enkelt sätt som är lämpligt för att rena små mängder vatten utan tillsats av kemikalier eller mekaniska filtreringssteg ta bort pariklar från vatten och göra det klart och transparent, och därför lämpligt att lysa genom med solljus. Vi avser använda nya koppar-zink katalysatorer som tillverkas med en enkel och miljövänlig metod och som kan utnyttja en större andel av solljusspektrumet än nuvarande titandioxid-katalysatorer. Skulle projektet vara lyckosamt skulle fotokatalytiska metoder på allvar kunna användas för rening av gråvatten, eller vatten som passerat ett flockuleringssteg. En nyhet i vårt angreppssätt är att vi utvecklar avancerade material med hållbara metoder och som är förhållandevis enkla att tillverka.

Skulle projektet vara lyckosamt skulle fotokatalytiska metoder på allvar kunna användas för rening av gråvatten, eller vatten som passerat ett flockuleringssteg. En nyhet i vårt angreppssätt är att vi utvecklar avancerade material med hållbara metoder och som är förhållandevis enkla att tillverka.

En stor del av dagens forskning inom cancerterapi har som mål att utveckla läkemedel eller vacciner riktade mot nyckelmolekyler (ofta proteiner) som är inblandade i olika delar av sjukdomsbilden, te.x tumörtillväxt och spridning av cancern, antingen genom bildandet av metastaser eller genom infiltrering av cancerceller i närliggande vävnad.

Studier av ett brett spektrum av så kallade sekundära metaboliter, substanser som extraherats ur olika naturprodukter såsom honung, frukt, grönsaker, te, kryddor och traditionella läkeörter, har visat att dessa substanser har mycket potenta anti-inflammatoriska, anti-oxidativa och cytostatiska egenskaper. Bildandet av sekundära metaboliter är naturens svar på omgivningens utmaningar eller hot med det yttersta målet att stärka organismens chanser att överleva och föröka sig.

Since MBD is a result of several interconnected social, political and economic factors in a globalised world, the problem should be analysed from different disciplines and at a cross-national level. Arguably, a nuanced understanding of the phenomenon will not be achieved by relying on one theoretical perspective only, the tools of one discipline or by focusing on a single level of analysis. Rather, a broad grip, an interdisciplinary approach and multi-level analysis is needed. Causal processes relevant to migration operate on multiple levels simultaneously. Thus, this project utilises competence from the disciplines: applied ethics, development studies and educational research to compare health labor mobility in three countries: the Philippines, Sweden and Indonesia. Methodwise, both descriptive and analytical studies are employed. And, the constellation of countries represented in the project enables fruitful comparisons of MBD in developed and developing countries. More specifically, researchers in the project (1) take stock on drivers behind and effects of care worker emigration, (2) map and assess different strategies regarding human resource management and labor mobility in the health care sector and (3) evaluate the prospects of global resource sharing and health governance. Kompetensflykt utgör ett av de största hoten mot grundläggande mänskliga rättigheter till hälsa och kvalitativ vård. Storskalig utvandring av högutbildade personer från underutvecklade till mer välmående regioner är ett av globaliseringens många ansikten (Docquier och Rapoport, 2011) och drabbar vårdsektorn i redan utsatta regioner. Massutvandringen av barnmorskor, sjuksköterskor och läkare från åg- och medelinkomstländer till rikare länder kallas ofta &quot;Medical Brain Drain&quot; och har pekats ut som ett hinder i vägen för att Milleniummålen för hälsa ska kunna uppnås (International Organisation for Migration, 2010). Även om kompetensflyktsflykten generellt uppfattas som ett akut problem, finns det många olika uppfattningar om vad problemet består i och på vilka sätt det bör lösas. Framförallt saknas det enighet om vem som ska hållas ansvarig för kunskapsflykten och dess effekter. Målet med det här forskningsprojektet är att i en tvärvetenskaplig projektgrupp med medlemmar från Indonesien, Filippinerna och Sverige arbeta fram effektiva, rättvisa och hållbara lösningar på ett omfattande problem med många bottnar. Detta görs genom att (1) orsaker bakom- och effekter av den både storskaliga och ensidiga utvandringen av vårdpersonal studeras, (2) strategier för hantering av medicinsk personal och vårdpersonal och mobilitet inom hälsosektorn kartläggs och utvärders liksom (3) att en modell för gemensamt, överstatligt ansvarstagande för vårdpersonal som en global resurs diskuteras. Ett viktigt bidrag är att projektet belyser ett gemensamt problem ur ett avsändar och mottagar perspektiv samtidigt. De tre länderna som ingår i studien påverkas alla av migration inom vårdsektorn men på olika sätt. Indonesien är ett så kallat avsändarland som har drabbats hårt av att den vårdpersonal som utbildats i landet sökt arbete utomland men även av att få vill arbeta på landsbygden. I syfte att dämpa balansera behovet av vårdpersonal i landet har olika åtgärder införts som begränsar högutbildad vårdpersonals möjligheter att fritt välja var de vill arbeta. Ett exempel på en begränsande åtgärd är ett krav att all nyutexaminerad vårdpersonal ska tjänstgöra i landet under en viss tid. I skarp kontrast är Fliippinerna det land som totalt sett är den största enskilda avsändaren av sjuksköterskor och som avsiktligt utbildar fler sjuksköterskor och läkare än vad som behövs för att täcka landets vårdbehov. Denna strategi kallas ofta &quot;vårdexport&quot;. Sverige är ett mottagarland som med en åldrande befolkning har ett stort behov för arbestkraft utifrån för att täcka ett ökat vård- och omsorgsbehov. Genom att ta ett samlat grepp på olika intressen och konsekvenser av olika strategier (på individnivå liksom på nationellnivå) kommer vi inom detta projekt att kunna visa på hur olika länder bidrar till en omfattande kunskapsflykt och snedfördelning av vårdresurser. Mot bakgrund av filosofen Iris Marion Youngs teori om moraliskt ansvar (Young, 2006, 2011) kommer vi även att kunna presentera en modell för hur ansvar bör fördelas och varför. Genom att vi utnyttjar kompetens från den tillämpade etiken, från utvecklingsstudier och utbildningsvetenskap liksom erfarenheter i tre länder kan vi bidra med en nyanserad bild av ett mycket komplext problem. Projektet kommer att visa på länders olika förutsättningar och möjligheter att hantera problemet med kompetensflykt. En övergripande mål är att lyfta goda sätt att hantera vårdpersonal och mobilitet som kan tillämpas generellt. Den kunskap som projektet bidrar med kommer att vara av stor betydelse för de enskilda projktdeltagarna som alla, inom sina respektive forskningsområden, arbetar med att identifiera för lösningar på detta problem.

In doing so, they make a significant contribution to reducing the carbon footprint of cities, recovering resources, improving environmental conditions and health of low-income residents, creating jobs and income among the poor. This project aims at examining the challenges that innovative grassroots initiatives and networks encounter and the livelihood practices they generate, to improve recycling and household waste management in informal settlements of global South cities. The project’s methodology is inspired by participatory action research through a combination of a) a multiple case study on waste picker initiatives in Managua (Nicaragua), Dar es Salaam (Tanzania), Buenos Aires (Argentina) and São Paulo (Brazil) and Kisumu (Kenya) based on interviews, observations, workshops and document analysis b) joint knowledge co- production with regional and global waste picker networks erforming as knowledge hubs for the project c) an in-depth case study of the City of Kisumu, where the learnings from the multi-case studies will be integrated and d) international joint research and waste picker seminars to co-produce knowledge to conceptualize solution to the challenges. Theoretically, the project will also contribute to applying and expanding a combination of theories of socioenvironmental and institutional entrepreneurship with resilience theories.

The World Health Organization estimates that 2.4 billion people worldwide lack access to basic sanitation facilities posing severe risks to public health and the environment. At the same time, biogeochemical flows of nitrogen and phosphorous have been pointed out as a critical planetary boundary that needs to be properly managed to assure a sustainable future. There is pressing need for innovations in the sanitation sector which improve nutrient-recovery and provide services for all. There is a growing number of nutrient-recovery technologies available, but a majority are still in the formative phase of development and not widely applied. This may be because implementing these solutions means rethinking not just the technical treatment process, but the collection system, user interactions and management organisations. Improving the capacity of our waste systems to recover valuable resource means transforming some of its core structures. The aim of this project is to explore opportunities for scaling-up alternative systems for nutrient-recovery from wastewater in the Ugandan context through 1) investigating the technical and market readiness of these systems, 2) studying the readiness of society to accept alternative systems, and 3) evaluating serious gaming as an innovative planning technique for opening transformation pathways within the sector. Hantering av den globala sanitetskrisen är en av de stora utmaningarna för vår generation. Världshälsoorganisationen uppskattar att 2,4 miljarder människor i världen saknar tillgång till en bra toalett. Dålig sanitet leder till allvarliga risker för människors hälsa genom smittspridning och orsakar övergödning av vattendrag genom utsläpp av näringsämnen. Experter har pekat ut storskalig övergödning som ett allvarlig hot mot en hållbar framtid på planeten och varnat för att vi behöver skarpare kontroll över flödena av kväve och fosfor. Det finns därför ett akut behov av innovationer inom sanitetssektorn som förbättrar återvinning av näring, t.ex. kväve och fosfor, och samtidigt ökar tillgängligheten av toaletter till de som saknar detta idag. Ett växande antal tekniker för näringsåtervinning finns tillgängliga, men en majoritet av dessa är fortfarande under utveckling och används idag inte i större skala. Detta kan bero på att genomförande av dessa lösningar kräver ett nytänkande, inte bara i den tekniska behandlingsprocessen utan också i insamlingssystemet, användarinteraktioner och förvaltningsorganisationer. Att förbättra avfallssystemet kapacitet att återvinna värdefulla resurser innebär en omvandling och utökning av några kärnstrukturer inom systemet. Fokus i detta forskningsprojekt är alternativa sanitetssystem som kan återvinna näringsämnen i Uganda, ett land där endast 29 % av befolkningen i städer har tillgång till en bra toalett. Alternativa sanitetssystem definieras som innovativa lösningar för hantering av mänskligt avfall som använder källsortering, eller liknande tekniker, för omvandling av näringsämnen till värdefulla produkter såsom protein, biomassa och gödsel. Projektet använder ett social-tekniskt systemperspektiv som omfattar teknik för insamling, transport och behandling av mänskligt avfall, liksom användarna av systemet och de organisationer som ansvarar för systemets förvaltning. Projektet syftar till att öka kunskapen om upplevda risker med dessa system och hur man integrerar sådana innovationer i befintliga avloppssystem. Projektet är uppbyggt omkring tre faser. Först kommer forskarna kartlägga vilka typer av näringsåtervinningstekniker som finns tillgängliga i urbana områden i Uganda och bedöma deras teknik- och marknadsutveckling. Denna studie undersöker möjligheterna för dessa system att minska sjukdomsspridning, miljöpåverkan, och deras marknadspotential, inklusive potential för urbana jordbruk att ta emot återvunnit produkter. Andra fasen i projektet undersöker den sociala acceptansen av alternativa avloppssystem. Detta kommer att ske genom intervjuer, gruppdiskussioner och användning av ett "innovationsspel". Slutligen kommer ett spel att utvecklas som ett verktyg för att föra flera aktörer tillsammans i en planeringsprocess. Spelet, som kommer att ha formen av ett brädspel, kommer att hjälpa aktörer att utforska nya strukturer för att hantera mänskligt avfall, både i fysisk infrastruktur och i förvaltningsorganisationer. Under de två sista etapperna i projektet kommer forskarna att arbeta nära med lokala aktörer i kommuner i Uganda för att förankra resultat i verkligheten. Projektresultaten kommer att bedöma potentialen av alternativa näringsåtervinningssystem i kommuner i Uganda att ge fördelar för folkhälsan och miljön. Denna kunskap kommer att utvidga vår arsenal av lösningar för att ta itu med sanitetskrisen. Samtidigt utvecklar projektet praktiska verktyg och metoder för planering och beslutsfattande som kan användas för att hantera de nödvändiga omvandlingarna i avfallshanteringen. Resultat från projektet kommer att publiceras i rapporter, vetenskapliga artiklar och populärvetenskapliga artiklar.

Alternate wetting and drying (AWD) has thus been advocated instead of continuous flooding. However, AWD does not guarantee high yields and promotes decomposition of soil organic carbon (SOC) and loss of nutrients, reducing fertility. Moreover, the lack of flooding impairs the multi-functionality of rice systems (provision of services other than yield, e.g. fish-rice farming). With this project, we will address this trade-off between water savings, rice productivity and provision of ecosystem services (ES). By budgeting the water cost of SOC protection (which we name ‘brown water’), and by considering the advantages of water-related multi-functionality, we will approach the issue of rice sustainability in a more holistic way. We test the hypothesis that water savings from AWD are offset by reduced soil fertility and ES provision in 3 countries, 2 of which have large yield gaps (Tanzania, Vietnam, and Italy). Soil analyses at our sites and global meta-analyses in combination to process models will provide the first estimate of the ‘brown water’ footprint of rice production. Results will be shared by engaging children, farmers, and the general public. We will raise awareness of the intimate connections between rice and its soil, and ultimately global climate, suggesting more sustainable practices and climate change adaptation measures. Ris är en viktig näringskälla för 3 miljarder människor, särskilt i utvecklingsländerna. Risfält täcker en yta tre gånger större än Sverige och konsumerar mer vatten än någon annan gröda. I vissa områden, är risodling ohållbar på grund av dess höga krav på bevattning. Under de kommande åren, med minskade sötvattenresurser och ökad efterfrågan på vatten, kommer risproduktionen bli ohållbar i många regioner som producerar ris, vilket motiverar forskning om alternativ vattenförvaltning och förbättrade rissorter som tål begränsad vattentillgång. I synnerhet har omväxlande perioder med och utan vatten, istället för traditionell kontinuerlig bevattning, föreslagits som en alternativ bevattningsstrategi för att bibehålla en hög produktion som fortfarande är miljömässigt hållbar. Detta kan spara vatten genom att minska bevattningsvolymerna, men kan också ge oönskade konsekvenser. Genom att minska varaktigheten av översvämningarna, kommer jordarna i allt högre grad torka och syresättas. Mer aeroba förhållanden ökar den mikrobiella aktivitet i marken och därmed gynnas frisättningen av koldioxid och näringsämnen. Som ett resultat kan kol och näringsämnen i jordarna användas av mikroorganismer och därmed gå förlorade. Markens kol som förloras till atmosfären bidrar till utsläpp av växthusgaser, medan näringsämnen frigörs i mobila former och transporteras ut i floder och sjöar, vilket kan leda till försämrad vattenkvalitet. Förlusten av näringsämnen minskar markkvaliteten och slutligen ris produktionen. Minskade perioder med vatten påverkar också den biologisk mångfalden i risfält negativt, med negativa effecter på flera olika ekosystemtjänster. Bland annat minskar antalet naturliga fiender mot skadegörare. Möjligheterna att integrera fisk med risproduktionen minskar också, vilket leder till en minskad matproduktion. Syftet med det här projektet är att skapa en bättre förståelse för avvägning mellan vattenbesparing, produktivitet och jordkvalitet. Genom att beakta ”vattenkostnaden” för att skydda markens kolinnehåll och andra ekosystemtjänster, kommer vi att närma oss frågan om hållbar risproduktion på ett mer holistiskt sätt jämfört med tidigare metoder. Vi utgår från hypotesen att jordens kolinnehåll och näringskoncentration ökar med längden på översvämningen i ett visst klimat. Därför förväntar vi oss att vattenbesparingar också orsakar ett minskat kolinnehåll i marken. Eftersom markens kolinnehåll är kopplat till jordkvalitet och produktivitet, förväntar vi oss också att högre kolinnehåll i jordar leder till högre risproduktion. För att testa dessa hypoteser har tre länder (Tanzania, Vietnam, och Italien) valts ut att representera globala skillnader i klimat, sociala faktorer och jordbruksmetoder. Som ett första steg, kommer jordprover att analyseras för att belysa hur mycket kol som lagras marker med traditionell bevattning, med mer intensiva rismetoder och med kortare bevattningsperioder, och i jordar med naturlig vegetation. I ett andra steg kommer dessa resultat tillsammans med publicerad data, skalas upp till en global nivå i avseende på risproduktion, markinnehåll av kol samt vattenförbrukning. Utifrån de första två stegen kommer vi att utvärdera hur hållbar risproduktionen är i de respektive länderna samt globalt i avseende på hur man balanserar vattenförbrukning och kolinnehåll i marken. Dessa beräkningar kommer att utföras med olika matematiska modeller som simulerar risproduktivitet i samband med vattenanvändning och mark-kol processer. Slutligen, med hjälp av klimatprognoser, kommer vi att utvärdera hållbarheten i olika risproduktionssystem under framtida klimatscenarier och ge indikationer på möjliga anpassningsstrategier. Forskningen kommer att diskuteras på konferenser och workshops.

This will affect the functioning of most ecosystems, but the most severely affected include the world’s poorest and food security challenged nations, including Ethiopia. Microorganisms control decomposition of organic matter (OM), and dominate the terrestrial contribution to the global carbon (C) cycle. Water availability is a decisive regulator of microbial processes, but they also depend on C-availability, creating a strong feedback with plants. We will investigate how microbial processes are influenced by changes in water availability across a gradient from cool moist to hot arid Ecosystems in Ethiopia. We will evaluate the effect of different land-uses and field experimental drought on the resilience of microbial functions. Insights will be included in ecosystem models, and used to guide land-use policy in Ethiopia. The aims are: 1. Defining the microbial moisture dependence, and the resilience of the microbial functions to rewetting a soil. 2. Determining both long-term (gradient across Ethiopia) and short-term (within site field-experiments) legacy effects of drought and dry-wet cycles on 1. 3. Disentangling the relative influence of the soil microbial community and land-use on 1. 4. Distinguishing how land-use, restoration of degraded soils, and plant material additions can affect the microbial resilience to drought and variable moisture. Globalt styrs ekosystemens produktivitet av fotosyntes som drivs av primärproducenter, och i terrestra ekosystem är det växter som helt dominerar. Idag vet vi mycket om de viktiga miljöfaktorerna som styr växternas produktion, vilket möjliggör en ganska god säkerhet i vår förmåga att förutspå effekten av miljöförändringar på växternas ekosystembidrag. Vi vet problematiskt mycket mindre om hur ekosystemet regleras under mark. När en växt investerar kol i sina rötter för att nå de näringsämnen (kväve, fosfor, osv.) deras tillväxt begränsas av läcker en del ut som löst organisk material i marken. Likaså, när en växt dör, faller blad, grenar och annat växtmaterial ned på marken. För att hålla de mineral som begränsar växternas produktion i omlopp finns därmed ett ständigt behov av att omsätta organiska material. Det organiska materialet används som mat av främst mikroorganismsamhället i mark, svampar och bakterier. En del av materialet används för energi, och omvandlas till sina beståndsdelar – koldioxid (CO2), och mineralnäringsämnen, medan en annan del används för tillväxt för att bilda nya mikroorganismer. Den fraktion av det organiska material som används för att bilda nya mikrober utgör även det som kan anrikas i jord i ekosystem, och kan komma att bilda tjocka humuslager i t ex nordliga ekosystem. Mikroorganismer är de agenter som utför nedbrytning av organiskt material i mark, som dominerar terrestra ekosystems bidrag till det globala kol (C)-kretsloppet. Vattentillgänglighet är en av de mest dominanta styrfaktorerna för mikroorganism-aktivitet, som avgör om terrestra ekosystem kommer att blir en sänka eller källa för kol till atmosfären. Vidare är mikroorganismerna beroende av tillgängligt C, framförallt från växter, vilket skapar en viktig återkoppling mellan växter och nedbrytare. Men även om vi redan nu inser att en förändring av kolbalanser i våra ekosystem troligtvis kommer att orsakas av klimatförändringen, har vi idag otillräckliga kunskaper för att kunna förutspå netto-balansen mellan förändringar i växtproduktion och i nedbrytning. Terrestra ekosystem väntas utsättas för mer extrema variationer i nederbörd och temperaturer som ett resultat av klimatförändringen vilket kommer att orsaka mer intensiva tork- och regnepisoder.

Det övergripande målet med detta projekt är att förstå hur torka och variation i vattentillgänglighet påverkar mikroorganismer och de processer de styr i mark utmed en gradient från varma och torra till svalare system med mer nederbörd i Etiopien. Inom varje ekosystem ska vi (i) undersöka hur markanvändning – jordbruk, betesmark, eller naturlig vegetation – påverkar mikrobernas svar på torka och variation av vattenhalt i jord, och (ii) utröna hur experimentell torka i fältförsök inom varje försöksområde påverkar mikroorganismernas resiliens mot torka, samt (iii) utvärdera hur Etiopiens nuvarande arbete med att återskapa förstörd mark påverkar markmikroorganismernas resiliens mot torka. Denna förståelse ska byggas in i ekosystemmodeller, och genom samarbete med ett Etiopiskt jordbruksinstitut, användas för att vägleda och utveckla Etiopiens nationella policy för att möta klimatförändringar. De specifika målen är: 1. Att definiera (i) det direkta beroendet av vattentillgänglighet för mikrobiella processer, och (ii) mikroorganismerna resiliens mot återfuktning efter torka. 2. Att bestämma hur långtida skillnader (långs en ekosystemgradient inom Etiopien) och korttida skillnader (fältförsök med experimentell torka inom Etiopiska ekosystem) av torka och torkcykel-regimen påverkar (i) det direkta beroendet av vattentillgänglighet, och (ii) det mikrobiella svaret på återfuktning. 3.

This will affect the functioning of most ecosystems, but the most severely affected include the world’s poorest and food security challenged nations, including Ethiopia. Microorganisms control decomposition of organic matter (OM), and dominate the terrestrial contribution to the global carbon (C) cycle. Water availability is a decisive regulator of microbial processes, but they also depend on C-availability, creating a strong feedback with plants. We will investigate how microbial processes are influenced by changes in water availability across a gradient from cool moist to hot arid Ecosystems in Ethiopia. We will evaluate the effect of different land-uses and field experimental drought on the resilience of microbial functions. Insights will be included in ecosystem models, and used to guide land-use policy in Ethiopia. The aims are: 1. Defining the microbial moisture dependence, and the resilience of the microbial functions to rewetting a soil. 2. Determining both long-term (gradient across Ethiopia) and short-term (within site field-experiments) legacy effects of drought and dry-wet cycles on 1. 3. Disentangling the relative influence of the soil microbial community and land-use on 1. 4. Distinguishing how land-use, restoration of degraded soils, and plant material additions can affect the microbial resilience to drought and variable moisture. Globalt styrs ekosystemens produktivitet av fotosyntes som drivs av primärproducenter, och i terrestra ekosystem är det växter som helt dominerar. Idag vet vi mycket om de viktiga miljöfaktorerna som styr växternas produktion, vilket möjliggör en ganska god säkerhet i vår förmåga att förutspå effekten av miljöförändringar på växternas ekosystembidrag. Vi vet problematiskt mycket mindre om hur ekosystemet regleras under mark. När en växt investerar kol i sina rötter för att nå de näringsämnen (kväve, fosfor, osv.) deras tillväxt begränsas av läcker en del ut som löst organisk material i marken. Likaså, när en växt dör, faller blad, grenar och annat växtmaterial ned på marken.

Top-down policies designed to reduce flood risk in informal settlements have to date been largely unsuccessful, yet many of the vulnerabilities faced by slum-dwellers cannot be addressed by local action alone. Many observers posit that a fundamentally important part of the solution is to integrate government and community resilience initiatives, an approach we call “Community-Responsive Adaptation”. However, real-world examples of this type of integration are scarce, and have not been systematically evaluated, either in terms of cost, or impact. In this study, we partner with an award-winning non-governmental organization, Kounkuey Design Initiative, and with slum residents and local government, to co-design, build and evaluate three integrated adaptation projects in Kibera, Nairobi. To evaluate the effects of the projects, we will carry out a 6-wave household survey across 1500 households in high flood-risk zones, and compare flood damages and other measures of welfare in households with the same baseline flood risk in treatment sites, and at comparable control sites. Finally, we will collect and analyze qualitative data to help understand the mechanisms behind success or failure of the package of interventions. En stor och växande del av världens befolkning lever i så kallade slumområden. I Afrika söder om Sahara förväntas antalet invånare i städer tredubblas de nästkommande 25 åren och tre fjärdedelar av de nya invånarna förväntas bo i slumliknande förhållanden. I många städer utvecklas slumområden längst med floder och andra vattendrag eftersom dessa platser ofta är allmän mark och öppna ytor som är relativt lätta att ta i anspråk. I förlängningen innebär det att boende i dessa områden, ofta de mest utsatta och fattigaste invånarna, också är de som i störst utsträckning drabbads av översvämningar. Den effekten har blivit påtagligare av två orsaker; för det första minskar mängden vatten som kan absorberas direkt i marken i takt med att urbaniseringen i slumområdena fortgår – hårdgjorda ytor leder till att vattnet istället måste röra sig på markytan. Dessutom har klimatförändringarna lett till en ökad frekvens av kraftiga regn. Tidigare försök att minska översvämningsriskerna i de mest utsatta områdena har i stor utsträckning varit misslyckade. De har också, historiskt sett, utformats utan förankring hos de boende. Ansträngningar för att omlokalisera invånare i riskzoner har lett till konflikter medan implementering av storskalig infrastruktur, för att minska översvämningsriskerna, har varit alltför kostsam att genomföra. Dock har boende i slumområden gjort lokala ansträngningar för att utstå och anpassa sig till översvämningsriskerna, exempelvis genom att göra sina bostäder mer vattentäta. De enskilda ansträngningarna är begränsade till följd av bristande resurser och kunskap. Något som försvårar ytterligare är att de lokala initiativen ofta sker utan samordning med det kommunala styret. Det finns dock lyckade exempel på lokala initiativ som kan minska sårbarheten och ge ökad social och ekonomisk trygghet för de boende, exempelvis gemensam rensning av lokala avlopp- och dräneringssystem, kooperativ avfallshantering och lån- och sparargrupper.

I Kibera spolas varje år ett stort antal byggnader bort, till följd av översvämning och regn.

Genom att studera hur dessa landskap ekologiskt och socialt förändrats från perioden innan naturskydd och fram till idag, hoppas vi kunna bättre förstå vad som ligger framför oss under de kommande 50-100 åren, och därmed även kunna planera för kommande förändringar. Med detta i åtanke kommer vi att samarbeta med de lokala samhällena och olika intressenter kring lokala värden i landskapet, hushållens utmaningar, lokal ekologisk kunskap och strategier för framtiden.

To do this, we will focus on the temporality, spatiality & complexity of interactions and interdependencies of social-ecological systems in north-western Tanzania over the last 300 years. Local livelihoods range from intensive agriculture to livestock herding & hunting-and-gathering, coupled with employment in tourism, conservation, or mineral extraction.

Detta 3-åriga projekt integrerar miljövetenskap, ekologi, arkeologi och historia samt juniora och seniora forskare från Sverige, Tanzania och Storbritannien som ett svar på detta akuta behov. Vi studerar människans miljöinteraktioner i nordvästra Tanzania under de senaste 300 åren för att fördjupa förståelsev av hur människor, djur, ekosystem och jordmåner påverkats av klimat och markanvändning. Studieområdet innefattar värdsarven Serengeti och Ngorongoro Crater kända för sin höga mångfald i växt och djurliv. I området talas fyra stora afrikanska språkfamiljer, med interagration under nästan två tusen år, resulterande i en mosaik av boskapskötsel, småskaligt jordbruk och jakt och samling. Dessa traditionella näringar är idag under press pga befolkningstillväxt, gruvindustrin, bevattningsjordbruk, biobränslen och viltvård och aktuella klimatförändringar med resultat att lokal och nationell hållbarhet undergrävs och att miljömässig, social och kulturell motståndskraft eroderas. I projektet dokumenterar vi dessa utmaningar och hur samhällen över tid svarat på dem; i synnerhet när det gäller traditionell praxis och kulturarv och deras relevans för hållbarhet i relation till klimatförändringar. Afrikanska landskap är har en lång historia av samverkan mellan människor, eld, betande djur; idag stödjer de miljontals människors hushållsekonomi, samtidigt som de också är en livsmiljö för spektakulär megafauna som drar till sig stora mängder afrikanska intäkter från naturvård och turism. Men det krävs en detaljerad förståelse av samspelet mellan olika ekosystemkomponenter, och framför allt hur policy när det gäller markanvändning påverkar både ekologiskt samspel såväl som fattigdom och ojämlikhet. Detta är speciellt relevant för områden vars naturresurser används av flera intressenter, därför kommer vi här fokusera på nationalparker. Nationalparker etablerades i början av 1900-talet av koloniala myndigheterna för att bevara djurliv och landskap, med idag förväntas dessa naturskyddsområden uppfylla också sociala och ekonomiska mål, vilket innebär att de är omdebatterade. Genom att studera hur dessa landskap ekologiskt och socialt förändrats från perioden innan naturskydd och fram till idag, hoppas vi kunna bättre förstå vad som ligger framför oss under de kommande 50-100 åren, och därmed även kunna planera för kommande förändringar.

A fact that was not explicitly acknowledged in the agreement but that has since been widely criticized by renowned scientists, is that the realization of the ambitious targets established in the deal is premised on the large-scale implementation world-wide of bioenergy carbon capture and storage (BECCS), a promising but as yet commercially unproven technology. BECCS is associated with a number of uncertainties of a technological, environmental, social, political and economical character and is likely to trigger intense and hard-to-resolve conflicts over land-use. The purpose of this social scientific project is twofold: To provide an assessment of the feasibility of a massive, global-scale implementation of BECCS, and to assess how BECCS can be implemented on a large scale in low-income countries without jeopardizing resilience, industries crucial for the self-sustenance of the local populations and sustainability projects such as REDD+, and that instead contributes to capacity building and poverty reduction. It will do so through a literature review and focus group interviews with key stakeholders in two countries – Sweden and Tanzania - that both rely heavily on the forest as a bioeconomical resource, but that differ radically in their industrial, governmental and economical structures and resources. Det internationella klimatmötet i Paris 2015 hyllades som ett historiskt tillfälle där världens politiker äntligen tog sitt ansvar för begränsa den globala temperaturökningen. Efteråt har dock flera forskare påpekat och kritiserat en öm punkt i klimatavtalet, nämligen att det förutsätter storskalig implementering globalt av så kallad BECCS – bioenergi med avskiljning och lagring av koldioxid. Det är en teknologi som på ett teoretiskt plan innebär enorma fördelar eftersom den bygger på idén om netto-negativa emissioner, det vill säga att man återtar redan gjorda koldioxidutsläpp från atmosfären genom att förbränna biomassa och deponerar den koldioxid som därmed frigörs, samt planterar motsvarande mängd ny biomassa. På ett praktiskt plan är den emellertid närmast helt oprövad och därtill förknippad med en mängd osäkerheter och risker. Bortsett från att BECCS-tekniken är teknologiskt osäker och rymmer flera avgörande problem i form av energiineffektivitet, så saknas det fortfarande kritisk analys av vilka sociala, industriella, ekonomiska och politiska effekter som kan tänkas uppstå om den implementeras på en skala som ens är i närheten av vad som förutsätts i Paris-avtalet. Klart är att BECCS tar enorma landarealer i anspråk för odling av biomassa som ska förbrännas, vilket riskerar hota biodiversitet och skapa konflikt med andra former av skogs- och landanvändning. I höginkomstländer lär detta ge upphov till allvarliga konflikter med etablerade industrier, vilka saknar kommersiella incitament att implementera tekniken, och naturintressen, och politiska diskussioner om rimliga trade-offs. I låginkomstländer är risken uppenbar att BECCS kommer att sätta press på fattiga människors livsuppehällen genom att göra stora land- och skogsområden otillgängliga vilka idag utgör en existentiell bas för miljontals hushåll, genom att hota biologisk mångfald och genom att konkurrera med andra typer av hållbarhetsprojekt så som exempelvis REDD+. Samtidigt är det rimligt att förutsätta att en hållbar och genomtänkt implementering av BECCS kan ge upphov till positiva utvecklingseffekter för såväl hög- som låginkomstländer, om den kombineras med rimliga finansiella och politiska styrningsmekanismer. Föreliggande studie utgår från den här problematiken och undersöker förutsättningarna för storskalig BECCSimplementering i Sverige och Tanzania, två länder som båda har skogen som en viktig del av samhällsekonomin och som har lämpliga geografiska förutsättningar för BECCS, men som skiljer sig åt radikalt vad gäller institutionella, politiska, industriella, ekonomiska och resursmässiga förutsättningar i övrigt. Vi kommer att analysera respektive lands möjlighet att implementera BECCS på ett sätt som inte hotar befintliga industrier, och jämföra hur ländernas diametralt skilda ekonomiska och industriella kapacitet påverkar förutsättningarna för hållbar BECCS-implementering. Syftet med studien är därför tvådelat: att 1) Ta reda på om BECCS alls är rimligt som en storskalig klimatåtgärd på global nivå, genom studien av två konkreta nationella fall, något som idag närmast helt saknas, och 2) Ta reda på vilka risker för nykoloniala, potentiellt destruktiva effekter för låginkomstländer som föreligger om BECCS ska implementeras på stor skala. Även om länder som Tanzania helt saknar moralisk skyldighet att agera värd för klimatåtgärder såsom BECCS, så kommer stora delar av deras landyta att behöva tas i anspråk för sådana syften om Parisavtalets löften ska kunna uppfyllas. Det är en samhällsvetenskaplig studie där vi kommer att kritiskt granska om BECCS ens kan anses vara politiskt och socialt möjligt att implementera på den skala som Paris-avtalet förutsätter, och om det är möjligt att göra på ett sätt som inte riskerar leda till ökad fattigdom i låginkomstländer utan tvärtom kopplas till insatser för ökad motståndskraft mot klimatförändringar och hållbar utveckling.

In recent years, migration across the world has seen unprecedented growth. Migrants or refugees usually originate from low-income countries, and settle either in neighbouring countries or within the country itself. This creates particular challenges for low-income settings, as the infrastructure and services available are limited and potentially cannot fulfil the needs of existing communities and large numbers of new arrivals. There is an urgent need to research migration as a social determinant of health . This application brings together three countries with different migration profiles: Ukraine with a high rate of internally displaced people, India with a high rate of seasonal cyclical migration and Sweden, which hosts large numbers of migrants. This state-of-the-art networking project will establish connections between institutions in these countries, expand them to other low-and middle-income countries. The format will include meetings, webinars, and world café presentations by junior researchers. The outcomes will include proposals to national and international funders. This collaboration  will promote high quality, timely and relevant research evidence in low-income settings focusing on migrants. After the three year funding, national and international research proposals will have been prepared and submitted. Migration har ökat globalt under de senaste åren. Migration har stor inverkan på människors liv, bland annat om deras hälsa och välbefinnande och i synnerhet de sociala bestämningsfaktorerna för hälsa. Migration är ett särskilt problem i låg- och medelinkomst inställningar där det är mindre infrastruktur för att hantera tillströmningen av människor. Det finns ett behov att genomföra tvärvetenskaplig forskning i olika länder på hur migrations effekter på hälsan hos invandrare.

Most cases are caused by dog bites, and deaths most commonly occur among the poorest or the most remote population, unable to receive post-exposure prophylaxis. In Southeast Asia, dogs are not only used as farm dogs, or as pets, but also increasingly as a food source, with dogs moved between countries. Rabies is a serious threat, and people involved in the dog value chain may be at increased risk, and the cross-border movements are complicating control efforts. This network project has a One Health approach, and will bring together stakeholders and researchers from Lao PDR, Cambodia, Viet Nam, Sweden and France. Workshops will be arranged around dog population dynamics, disease incidence, improvement of laboratory technologies and the best control strategies.An ongoing vaccine intervention in Cambodia will be used to study dog populations and changes in vaccination covers. The risk of rabies along the dog value chain will be assessed, and we will evaluate a novel method for easier diagnosis. Knowledge, attitudes and practices will be studied among dog owners, dog butchers and traders, and policy makers. In conclusion, this project will contribute to reducing the risk for people by improving diagnostic capacities, providing basic knowledge of dog population dynamic needed for efficient vaccination strategies, and establishing a strong inter-sectoral network for rabies control in this region. Rabies är en mycket fruktad sjukdom med nära 100% dödlighet hos de som drabbas, men det är också möjligt att hindra sjukdomen helt genom att vaccinera efter virusexponering (post-exponeringsprofylax, PEP). I Asien dör ca 30 000 människor varje år av rabies, framförallt de fattigaste eller de som bor mest avlägset och som därför inte kan söka hjälp i tid. Även om alla däggdjur kan infekteras med rabies smittas människor vanligen via hundbett. I Sydostasien är hundar viktiga; inte bara som vakthundar eller familjehundar, utan allt vanligare även som föda, och de utgör därför också en viktig näringskälla och en marknadskedja med viktiga inkomstmöjligheter. Det förekommer också en omfattande handel av hundar över nationsgränserna, framförallt in till Viet Nam från grannländerna.Detta projekt fokuserar på de tre grannländerna Viet Nam, Kambodja och Lao People's Democratic Republic som alla kämpar med höga rabiesorsakade dödsiffror hos människor, och höga kostnader för PEP. Trots att länderna kopplas samman via rörelser av hundar över gränserna, så har det hittills inte funnits mycket samarbete mellan forskare för att studera situationen i hela regionen. Detta projekt kommer att skapa ett nätverk av forskare från olika discipliner och länder för att etablera ett utökat samarbete specifikt runt rabiesbekämpning.Utöver att ordna workshops och utbildning för forskare och andra involverade i rabieskontroll, kommer projektet bidra till mer info. Den första forskningskomponenten i projektet är att studera dynamiken i hundpopulationer och hur immuniteten avtar efter en massvaccinationskampanj. Detta är viktigt för att förstå hur vaccinationskampanjer, den vanligaste insatsen mot rabies, ska utföras för att vara effektiva.Den andra komponenten fokuserar på hundköttsmarknaden och undersöker hur hundar rör sig över gränserna och vilka olika aktörer som är inblandade, samt deras kunskap om sjukdomen och hur de gör för att skydda sig själva. Vi ska även utvärdera hur stor andel hundar vi kan hitta på slakterier som redan bär på viruset och testa en ny metod for att provta hundskallar för att förenkla logistiken av prover från de ofta avlägsna områden där hundkött är som viktigast. Detta bidrar till en bättre bild av riskerna med hundslakt, samt till att förenkla framtida diagnostik.Till sist kommer vi även utvärdera kunskap och attityder avseende zoonoser i allmänhet och rabies i synnerhet, både hos hundägare, aktörer i hundköttskedjan, och politiker. Detta kommer att bidra till bättre informationskampanjer, framförallt i samband med massvaccineringar, men är också viktigt för att förstå hur riskmedvetenheten ser ut och hur politiker prioriterar problemet.Målet med projektet är att bidra till att minska rabies-risken för människor genom att täcka några av de kunskapsluckor som finns idag, samt skapa ett nätverk av internationella experter för utökat samarbete.

Seagrass beds are abundant marine plant assemblages in coastal areas, that are intensely fished especially by those men and women with the least resources. Seagrasses therefore constitute a key component for food security. Yet, there is still a low level of formal and scientific expertise on seagrasses in the Indo-Pacific. IPSN aims to help build this much-needed expertise, and thereby conserve seagrasses and increase the sustainability of seagrass resource use.The research to be conducted within IPSN will focus on: 1) ecological field surveys to better understand seagrass and associated fauna; 2) surveys of landed and marketed fish catches to better understand the contribution of seagrass small-scale fisheries; and 3) socio-economic household surveys to better understand the use of and dependence on seagrass-associated resources. The data will be analysed on a regional scale to statistically assess the linkages among marine biodiversity, ecosystem services and poverty, across gradients in environmental and socio-economic conditions in the Indo-Pacific. The findings will be used to advance seagrass science and provide management recommendations for poverty alleviation in one of the most data poor environments globally. I detta projekt kommer vi att bygga upp ett nätverk av forskare och förvaltare från flera länder i Indiska Oceanen och västra Stilla Havet kallat Indo-Pacific Seagrass Network (ISPN). Tillsammans kommer vi samla in data om sjögräsängar och fiske för att undersöka länkarna mellan marin biologisk mångfald, ekosystemtjänster och fattigdom. Målet är att kunna ge bättre råd för att skapa en hållbar kustmiljö och ett mer tåligt samhälle, med högre kapacitet att hantera olika typer av framtida störningar.Sjögräs är vanligt förekommande marina blomväxter som bildar stora undervattens-ängar i grunda kustområden. Sjögräsängar förser människor med många viktiga varor och tjänster, t.ex. fisk och skaldjur. För många, både män och kvinnor, är fisket i kustnära sjögräsängar mycket viktigt för att få ihop mat och pengar för dagen. I takt med ökad exploatering har dock utbredningen av sjögräs minskat drastiskt runt om i världen. De många olika hoten mot sjögräs, som till exempel överfiske, samt att det fortfarande saknas mycket kunskap om sjögräsekosystem, är en utmaning för effektiv förvaltning. I den Indiska Oceanen och Stilla havet är det fortfarande få forskare och förvaltare som arbetar med sjögräs, och sjögräs är väldigt sällan inkluderade i förvaltningsplaner. För att förbättra denna situation behövs det fler forskare och förvaltare som förstår betydelsen av sjögräs i allmänhet, och för småskaligt fiske i synnerhet.Vi som står bakom detta projekt har under många år arbetat med forskning kring sjögräsängar och sjögräsfiske i Indiska oceanen och Stilla havet, och vi ser ett stort behov av att stödja och stärka kapaciteten hos speciellt unga forskare och förvaltare. Vi tror nu att detta sjögräsnätverk kommer att engagera fler forskare och förvaltare i sjögräsforskning, öka förståelsen för sjögräs och sjögräsfiske, samt skapa en ökad förståelse på lokal men också på en regional och global skala. Vi kommer även fokusera på att stärka samarbetet och öka kunskapsutbytet mellan länder inom nätverket och regionen.Inom nätverket kommer vi tillsammans att genomföra en komparativ studie med identisk datainsamling på många platser. Syftet är att öka vår förståelse av vilka faktorer som generellt strukturerar sjögräsekosystem och sjögräsfiske, och då speciellt länkarna mellan graden av biologisk mångfald, ekosystemtjänster och fattigdom.Den forskning vi avser att bedriva inom nätverket är:Ekologiska studier av sjögräs, associerade djur och alger, genom att t.ex. undersöka vilka sjögräsarter som finns, var och hur de växer samt vilka djur (t.ex. fisk och musslor) som lever i sjögräset.Intervjua fiskare, både män och kvinnor, och undersöka fiskefångster från sjögräsområden om vilka fångster som säljs på marknader och vilka som används inom hushållet.Genomföra intervjuer i hushåll för att öka förståelsen om till vilken grad människors välbefinnande, t.ex. tillgång till mat, inkomst och arbete, är beroende av sjögräs och dithörande djur.För att kunna genomföra studien kommer vi att använda standardiserad utrustning och gemensamma protokoll, detaljerade manualer och instruktionsvideos. Vi avser också att ge möjlighet till deltagande i workshops där man får lära sig alla forskningsmetoder inom projektet.  Vi kommer sedan sammanställa och analysera insamlad data både på lokal och regional nivå, för ömsesidig gagn inom projektet. Detta kommer att öka kunskapen om både sjögräsängarnas betydelse för människan på lokal, nationell och regional nivå, men också ge en ökad förståelsen om länkarna mellan marin biodiversitet, ekosystemtjänster och fattigdom i mer generella termer. Denna typ av kunskap kommer vara kritisk för att kunna förbättra situationen och skapa ett mer hållbart utnyttjande av sjögräs och dess associerade fiske.

Seagrass beds are abundant marine plant assemblages in coastal areas, that are intensely fished especially by those men and women with the least resources. Seagrasses therefore constitute a key component for food security. Yet, there is still a low level of formal and scientific expertise on seagrasses in the Indo-Pacific. IPSN aims to help build this much-needed expertise, and thereby conserve seagrasses and increase the sustainability of seagrass resource use.The research to be conducted within IPSN will focus on: 1) ecological field surveys to better understand seagrass and associated fauna; 2) surveys of landed and marketed fish catches to better understand the contribution of seagrass small-scale fisheries; and 3) socio-economic household surveys to better understand the use of and dependence on seagrass-associated resources. The data will be analysed on a regional scale to statistically assess the linkages among marine biodiversity, ecosystem services and poverty, across gradients in environmental and socio-economic conditions in the Indo-Pacific. The findings will be used to advance seagrass science and provide management recommendations for poverty alleviation in one of the most data poor environments globally. I detta projekt kommer vi att bygga upp ett nätverk av forskare och förvaltare från flera länder i Indiska Oceanen och västra Stilla Havet kallat Indo-Pacific Seagrass Network (ISPN). Tillsammans kommer vi samla in data om sjögräsängar och fiske för att undersöka länkarna mellan marin biologisk mångfald, ekosystemtjänster och fattigdom. Målet är att kunna ge bättre råd för att skapa en hållbar kustmiljö och ett mer tåligt samhälle, med högre kapacitet att hantera olika typer av framtida störningar.Sjögräs är vanligt förekommande marina blomväxter som bildar stora undervattens-ängar i grunda kustområden. Sjögräsängar förser människor med många viktiga varor och tjänster, t.ex. fisk och skaldjur. För många, både män och kvinnor, är fisket i kustnära sjögräsängar mycket viktigt för att få ihop mat och pengar för dagen. I takt med ökad exploatering har dock utbredningen av sjögräs minskat drastiskt runt om i världen. De många olika hoten mot sjögräs, som till exempel överfiske, samt att det fortfarande saknas mycket kunskap om sjögräsekosystem, är en utmaning för effektiv förvaltning. I den Indiska Oceanen och Stilla havet är det fortfarande få forskare och förvaltare som arbetar med sjögräs, och sjögräs är väldigt sällan inkluderade i förvaltningsplaner.

For this reason research on sponges is currently undeveloped in Sri Lanka. The 3-year collaborative project we propose to build between scientists at University of Colombo and Uppsala University will investigate the marine sponge biodiversity of Sri Lanka and identify bioactive sponge natural products against infectious diseases and cancer cell lines. The aims of this project are to 1) transfer our knowledge on sponge sytematics to Sri Lankan students/researchers in order to help them assess the Sri Lankan sponge biodiversity and 2) develop a protocol to study sponge natural product and genetic diversity. We believe both of these aims will unlock the potential of Sri Lankan sponges towards bioactivity assays and drug discovery. To achieve this we will conduct a multidisciplinary collaborative project combining our mutual expertise in pharmacognosy, chemistry, structure elucidation, systematics and molecular biology. This project will fill the knowledge gap on Sri Lankan sponge biodiversity in order to spur high-standard sponge research in this country. The findings will contribute to Sri Lankan education, marine biodiversity conservation and economic development but also to the Swedish/Sri Lankan drug discovery program. Biodiversitet och kemodiversitet hos Sri Lankas marina svampdjur. En möjlighet att utforska nya farmakologiska användningsområden.Marina svampdjur är de första djuren som dök upp på jorden för över 700 miljoner år sedan. Svampdjuren har en nyckelposition i marina ekosystem, speciellt i tropiska vatten där de utgör en betydande andel av djurlivet bland korallrev, mangroveträsk och laguner. Svampdjur är en av de mest mångfaldsrika djurgrupperna på havsbotten. Där lever de fixerade, likt koraller och är därför beroende av kemiska ämnen för sin kommunikation, tävlan med andra arter och försvar mot predatorer. Detta gör svampdjuren till en av de rikaste källorna av marina substanser med enorm bioteknologisk och farmaceutisk potential. Omkring hälften av alla läkemedel vi använder idag härstammar från naturen. När det gäller substanser som används mot infektionssjukdomar och mot cancer är andelen ännu större. Den repertoar av kemiska substanser som produceras av svampdjur kan vara användbar i utvecklingen av cancerläkemedel, eller för att förebygga bakteriella infektioner i människa. Svampdjur är dock relativt svåra att identifiera vilket har gjort att svampdjursforskningen i världen idag är underutvecklad. Detta medför att hantering och bevarande av svampdjur är svårt, vilket också försvårar sökandet efter nya läkemedel. Det nuvarande projektet ämnar att i detalj undersöka, dokumentera och studera biodiversiteten hos marina svampdjur från Sri Lanka, en mångfald som hittills är outforskad med avseende på dess naturprodukter.Uppgifter från brittisk kolonialtid, tidigt 1900-tal, visar att Sri Lanka har en av de rikaste svampdjursfaunorna i indiska oceanen. Sedan dess har ingen vidare undersökt biodiversiteten hos svampdjur i Sri Lankas grunda vatten, än mindre utforskat de kemiska substanser som produceras. I det här projektet kommer forskare från Uppsala universitet och University of Colombo med gemensamma ansträngningar undersöka svampdjursfaunan på Sri Lanka. Vi kommer genomföra dykningar i de grunda vattnen kring Sri Lanka och ta prover från de vanligaste svampdjursarterna i korallrev, mangroveträsk och laguner. Vi kommer därefter isolera och identifiera specifika substansgrupper (främst steroler och peptider) från dessa prover. Vart ämne eller extrakt kommer testas för att avgöra huruvida de är aktiva mot humana patogener och/eller cancerceller. Genetiska data från dessa svampdjur kommer också insamlas, i syfte att vara en hjälp i identifieringen av nya arter men också för att kunna förutsäga förekomsten av fler ämnen. Det huvudsakliga målet är att upptäcka och karaktärisera nya ämnen med effekt mot cancer eller bakterier, genom användandet av båda parters kunskap och expertis. Slutligen kommer detta gemensamma projekt stödja och stärka ett långtidsforskningssamarbete mellan Sverige och Sri Lanka, vilket kommer bidra till ländernas vetenskapliga utveckling.

Varför detta är ett viktigt projekt?Psykisk sjukdom är en av de viktigaste orsakerna till ohälsa bland unga människor runt om i världen. Svåra upplevelser för ungdomar, som fattigdom eller att endast ha några års skolgång kan öka risken för en psykisk ohälsa både som barn och senare när de är vuxna. Ett nytt forskningsområde tittar på ”resilience” (motståndskraft), som anser hur och när ungdomar utvecklas på ett positivt sätt, även när de är missgynnade på många sätt. Studier har visat att det finns vissa personliga och sociala faktorer såsom att ha planeringsförmåga, god förhandlingsvana eller att vara uthållig som kan stärkas och främjas även bland ungdomar som är missgynnade på många sätt. När unga människor är mer motståndskraftiga är de mindre benägna att utveckla psykisk ohälsa och har bättre fysisk hälsa samt välbefinnande. Att främja psykisk hälsa är en viktig åtgärd för att minska fattigdomen och ingår som ett mål i FN: s Sustainable Development Goals.Få människor har forskat om psykisk hälsa, motståndskraft (resilience) och skyddsfaktorer bland ungdomar i länder med låg medelinkomst och nästan ingen har utvärderat interventioner för att stärka motståndskraft. Det övergripande syftet med detta projekt är att anpassa och utvärdera en intervention för att bygga motståndskraft bland missgynnade unga kvinnor och män i norra Indien med en teoretisk ansats.

Vi tror att detta ResearchLink projekt kommer att stärka kapaciteten hos alla deltagande grupper i psykisk hälsa bland utsatta ungdomar och teoribaserad utvärdering. Vi planerar gemensamma workshops i Sverige och Indien, komptetensbyggande av yngre forskare i Indien, virtuella möten var tredje månad, och genom att presentera vårt arbete till olika grupper i Sverige och Indien som är intresserade av ungdomars hälsa, psykisk hälsa och genus.Vad har redan gjorts och vad kommer att göras i detta arbete med utsatta ungdomar i Indien?En studie av gruppen i Indien har visat att en strategi för att bygga ”resilience” (motståndskraft) bland unga kvinnor, som hade hoppat av skolan arbetar i grupper över fyra månader gav mycket goda resultat när direkt efter programmet avslutades, men efter åtta månader var det inte mycket effekt kvar. En annan liknande studie fann att denna typ av intervention var mer tillämpbar bland unga kvinnor än unga män. Med utgångspunkt i dessa resultat planerar vi att ta reda på mer om hur man bygger motståndskraft i familjer och för att möta behoven hos unga missgynnade män, och sedan anpassa våra interventioner. Vi kommer då att genomföra anpassade program under en sexmånadersperiod, och sedan utvärdera det att överväga hur och i vilka kontexter det fungerar för att stärka motståndskraften och psykisk hälsa bland 12-16-åringar. Vi kommer att utvärdera effektiviteten med hjälp av olika mätskalor och genom att intervjua ungdomar, föräldrar och befolkningen.Vad kommer detta forskningssamarbete uppnå?Den kunskap som vi producerar genom detta arbete kommer att vara mycket användbar för att hjälpa forskare och bestlutsfattare på olika nivåer att förstå hur man kan förbättra motståndskraften hos unga människor.

Pollutants such as medical residues, metals, antibiotics, biocides and pathogenic bacteria are found in surface and ground water. The arid highlands of the Altiplano, at 3800 m, Bolivia face large problems with water pollution and inability to provide safe drinking water. Excessive mining occurs in the Andes mountain regions in Bolivia and rivers contaminated with e.g. Cd, Zn, As, Cu, Ni, Pb and Sn, runs from mining areas through cities such as El Alto and La Paz and may end up in lake Titicaca. The highly contaminated water environments shifts the microbial composition towards species with tolerance or resistance towards metals. Metal- and antibiotic resistance are linked: co-selection by heavy metals and antibiotics can occur if resistance determinants are present in the same cell (co-resistance) or if a common resistance mechanism confer resistance to both types of toxicants (cross-resistance). We will analyse several water sources, (along rivers, lakes and lagoons in La Paz, Milluni, Oruro and Titicaca) more or less affected by metal pollution. We will determine the microbial compositon and presence of pathogens by 16S, metagenomics and qPCR. Presence of antibiotic and metal resistance genes and levels of metal pollution will be determined. We will determine if metal ions drive antibiotic resistance transfer from microbiota to pathogenic bacteria. Det blir allt mer uppenbart att vi kommer att få allvarliga framtida problem med ökad antibiotikaresistens hos sjukdomsframkallande bakterier. Det värsta senariot är att visa sjukdomar inte längre kan botas med antibiotika och därmed kommer vi att slungas tillbaka 100 år i tiden då många dog av infektioner. Ökande föroreningar i mark och vatten kan driva på antbiotikaresistens i miljöbakterier. Vi vet att vissa resistensgener mot metallföroreningar och biocider är kopplade med antibiotikaresistens och därför kan nedärvas tillsammans.

T.o.m här i Sverige pratar vi idag, våren 2017, om att framtida vattenförsörjning kan bli ett faktiskt problem i Sverige relativt snart och globalt finns det många länder som redan nu har akuta problem.I detta projekt fokuserar vi på förorenat vatten i Bolivia, ett land med svårighet med vattenförsörjning av rent dricksvatten på de torra högländerna (Altiplano) på närmare 4000 meters höjd över havet. Det pågår sedan många år gruvdrift i stor skala i bergskedjan Anderna i Bolivia som har rika naturtillgångar. Gruvdriften medför metallföroreningar i vissa delar av landet som tyvärr sprider sig mot bebyggda ställen. Metallföroreningarna får vattnet att bli extremt surt och driver fram en bakteriepopulation i vattnet som tål dessa extrema förhållanden samt är resistenta mot metalljoner. Då dessa bakterier når vatten som används i städer och bebyggda områden med hushållsavfall och fekala föroreningar kan miljöbakterier och patogena bakterier mötas och vi vill se om det sker en överföring av antibiotika och metallresistens mellan bakterier i dessa fall.Vi kommer att analysera vattendrag, sjöar och floder i olika delar av Bolivia tillsammans med en grupp unga forskare i Bolivia.

Bacteria are carriers of ARGs and associated with planktonic organisms, and studies of plankton and oceanic circulation may provide new insight into the spread of resistance. However, to establish fair and effective governance of antibiotic use, especially in developing countries where aquaculture production is an important source of livelihood and revenue, it is also necessary to know the driving forces behind the usage. Our aim is to build on existing research collaboration between scholars from Sweden, India and Kenya, and to initiate research networks and multistakeholder platforms, to produce a synthesis for policy recommendations for Asia and East Africa. The synthesis will be based on empirical results and we will address where and on which level remedies to prevent antibiotic resistance spread are most effective. More specifically, we will map the flow of antibiotics from production to use in order to identify points in the value chain where restrictions would be fair and effective. Further, we will use metagenomics to identify genetic fingerprints of the ARG pool from four aquaculture sites. The spread of specific ARG patterns are hypothesised to be linked to the dispersal of phytoplankton and will be projected by oceanographic connectivity models and verified with repeated sampling at different geographic scales. Antibiotika är förmodligen 1900-talets viktigaste upptäckt. I miljön finns naturligt bakterier som är resistenta mot antibiotika. Naturlig selektion gynnar bakterier som har förvärvat egenskapen att stå emot antibiotika och egenskapen sprids i bakteriepopulationer. Antibiotika resistens hos en bakterie kan förvärvas genom spontan mutation, genom överföring av genetiskt material från en annan bakterie, eller genom överföring via en vektor (en baketriofag). Ett av de stora problemen idag är den ökande resistensspridningen hos bakterier. Denna har ökat till följd av att mer antibiotika används och sprids i naturen. En av de stora källorna till antibiotika i miljön är modern akvakultur. Detta illustreras av den utbredda användningen av profylaktisk antibiotika inom branschen, särskilt i utvecklingsländerna, för att förebygga bakterieinfektioner. Användningen av ett stort antal olika antibiotikatyper i enorma mängder, inklusive icke-biologiskt nedbrytbar antibiotika, gör att antibiotika ackumuleras i sediment och vattenpelare och utövar ett selektivt tryck under långa tidsperioder. Detta har resulterat i en enorm ökning av antibiotikaresistenta bakterier i akvatiska miljöer, inkluderat arter som är patogener på fisk och skaldjur, och i ökad överföring av resistens till sjukdomsalstrande bakterier associerade med människan. Det krävs nu globala insatser för att främja mer omdömesgill användning av antibiotika inom vattenbruk, och ökad kunskap om hur antibiotikaresistens sprids i akvatisk miljö. Mot bakgrund av den stora avsaknaden av kunskap om användning av antibiotika och spridning av antibiotikaresistens i utvecklingsländer, vill i vårt multidisciplinära projekt bidra med kunskap för att minska spridningen av antibiotika i marin miljö, samt bidra till fördjupat, internationellt forskningssamarbete och vidgade internationella forskningsnätverk. Vi vill testa en ny hypotes som innebär att antibiotikaresistenta bakterier associerade med planktonorganismer sprids till andra marina områden via havsströmmar och därmed sprider resistensgener till nya bakteriepopulationer. Det finns studier som visar att skadliga bakterier kan nå global spridning på detta vis och det finns all anledning att anta att resistens kan färdas på samma sätt. Vårt övergripande mål är att i samarbete med Indiska och Östafrikanska forskare och intressenter utveckla en handlingsplan för etablerade vattenbruksmiljöer i Asien och för tillväxande vattenbruksmiljöer i östra Afrika. Handlingsplanen kommer att vara baserad på empiriska resultat från samhällsvetenskapliga och biologiska-oceanografiska studier. Med utgångspunkt i ett pågående forskningsprojekt om användning av antibiotika och förekomsten av antibiotikaresistens i fyra specifika vattenbruksområden i Indien, kommer vi att undersöka antibiotika från produktion till användande ur ett politiskt-ekonomiskt perspektiv. Vi kommer vidare att definiera ett genetiskt fingeravtryck för de fyra vattenbruksområdena. Det genetiska fingeravtrycket kommer troligen att bestå av densiteten och förekomsten av specifika antibiotika resistenta gener, men den kan även innehålla klonspecifika genetiska markörer hos bakterier som kan tänkas vara bärare av antibiotika resistens och som vanligtvis associerar med växtplankton. Själva insamlandet går till så att vi samlar in planktonprover och extraherar DNA. Sen gör vi en metagenom sekvensering. Den data vi erhåller bearbetas med bioinformatisk analys och jämförs med databaser som innehåller tusentals aminosyrasekvenser kända för att medföra antibiotika resistens. Vi kommer sen att försöka följa detta genetiska fingeravtryck från vart och ett av de undersökta områdena genom att modellera havsströmmar och placera ut provtagningspunkter för verifikation på bestämda platser. Dessa provtagningspunkter kommer att provtas frekvent under två säsonger och vi kommer att placera dem på ett sätt så att vi kan avgöra ifall antibiotika restistens sprids endast lokalt (1000 km).

Vårt övergripande mål är att i samarbete med Indiska och Östafrikanska forskare och intressenter utveckla en handlingsplan för etablerade vattenbruksmiljöer i Asien och för tillväxande vattenbruksmiljöer i östra Afrika. Handlingsplanen kommer att vara baserad på empiriska resultat från samhällsvetenskapliga och biologiska-oceanografiska studier. Med utgångspunkt i ett pågående forskningsprojekt om användning av antibiotika och förekomsten av antibiotikaresistens i fyra specifika vattenbruksområden i Indien, kommer vi att undersöka antibiotika från produktion till användande ur ett politiskt-ekonomiskt perspektiv. Vi kommer vidare att definiera ett genetiskt fingeravtryck för de fyra vattenbruksområdena. Det genetiska fingeravtrycket kommer troligen att bestå av densiteten och förekomsten av specifika antibiotika resistenta gener, men den kan även innehålla klonspecifika genetiska markörer hos bakterier som kan tänkas vara bärare av antibiotika resistens och som vanligtvis associerar med växtplankton. Själva insamlandet går till så att vi samlar in planktonprover och extraherar DNA. Sen gör vi en metagenom sekvensering. Den data vi erhåller bearbetas med bioinformatisk analys och jämförs med databaser som innehåller tusentals aminosyrasekvenser kända för att medföra antibiotika resistens. Vi kommer sen att försöka följa detta genetiska fingeravtryck från vart och ett av de undersökta områdena genom att modellera havsströmmar och placera ut provtagningspunkter för verifikation på bestämda platser. Dessa provtagningspunkter kommer att provtas frekvent under två säsonger och vi kommer att placera dem på ett sätt så att vi kan avgöra ifall antibiotika restistens sprids endast lokalt (1000 km).

I detta SRL-projekt vill vi stimulera till användning av sådana metoder i våra samarbetsländer – Nicaragua, Sri Lanka och delstater i östra Indien.BakgrundUnder de senaste decennierna har mycket hög förekomst av CKD rapporterats från Centralamerika, Sri Lanka och östra Indien. Rapporterna har mycket gemensamt – sjukdomen drabbar ofta fattiga jordbruksarbetare som bor och arbetar i varmt klimat – och hälsovårdsresurserna i dessa områden räcker inte till för diagnostik och behandling. Orsaken är fortfarande okänd, och sjukdomen har därför kommit att kallas Chronic Kidney Disease of Unknown origin (CKDu). I Centralamerika är den ledande hypotesen att hårt fysiskt arbete i hett klimat leder till upprepade vatten- och saltförluster vilket på sikt skadar njurarna. I Sri Lanka har man främst oroats av möjlig påverkan av tungmetaller och bekämpningsmedel som använts i jordbruket. I Indien har problemet uppmärksammats först under senare år och forskningen är ännu i sin linda.Det finns globalt sett endast begränsad kunskap om CKDu, och traditionella registerdata-sammanställningar från dödsorsaksstatistik och behandlingsstatistik (t ex dialysregister) har sällan eller aldrig redovisats på regional och lokal nivå med samtidigt beaktande av regionala skillnader i omgivningsmiljö och socioekonomiska förhållanden. Med GIS kan befintliga data utnyttjas på ett bättre sätt för att förstå sjukdomens förekomst och dess orsaker, och därmed också möjligheter till prevention och allokering av hälsovårdsinsatser. En viktig fråga är om det hade funnits möjlighet att tidigare än som nu har varit fallet med CKDu kunna upptäcka en ökad sjukdomsförekomst genom mer avancerad analys av befintliga hälsodata för att på så sätt kunna arbeta med förebyggande åtgärder. ProjektplanI våra fallstudier kombineras data om kronisk njursjukdom, t ex från dödsorsaksregister, med befolkningsdata, uppgifter om socioekonomiska förhållanden och data om miljöförhållanden.

A remarkable solution to this water shortage has been demonstrated by an engineer Chewang Norphel through the construction of artificial glaciers in lower altitudes which melt early in the spring when the water shortage is most critical, thus giving some water security to the population.

Hållbar vattentillförsel genom utveckling av artificiella Glaciärer (SWASDAG) är ett samarbete mellan svenska och indiska forskare för att säkerställa vattentillförsel för samhällen i de högt belägna ökenområdena i Ladakh distriktet i Indien. Huvudsyftet med SWASDAG är att komplettera de pågående vattenförvaltningsinsatserna genom installation av konstgjorda glaciärer utförda av Ice Stupa teamet (http://icestupa.org/about) som leds av Rolex pristagaren Sonam Wangchuk. De artificiella glaciärerna eller is konerna skapas under vintermånaderna med hjälp av smältvatten från de naturliga glaciärerna som ligger på högre höjd. Placeringen av strukturerna väljs på ett sådant sätt att de under vårens torra månader smälter och ger vatten till bönderna och befolkningen. Med denna metod kan vattentillförseln säkerställas året om och växtsäsongen för jordbruket förlängas vilket i sin tur leder till garanterad livsmedelsförsörjning och fattigdomsbekämpning i området. Men de pågående ansträngningarna inbär också utmaningar när det gäller samarbeten, finansiering, teknisk support, och ständiga förbättringar av prototyper för att säkerställa en bättre spatiotemporal täckning. Där det stora målet är att ge en hållbar vattentillförsel till hela Ladakh region. Antalet funktionella artificiella glaciärer är fortfarande mycket begränsad och en stor del av befolkningen i Ladakh kämpar fortfarande med svår vattenbrist. Identifiering av mer lämpliga platser baserat på terräng, meteorologi, och föroreningsnivåerna för installation av dessa strukturer är den primära utmaningen. En annan utmaning är att studera isen och snöns fysikaliska egenskaper och hur de varierar med temperatur och luftfuktighet samt att hitta tekniska lösningar för att göra de konstgjorda glaciärerna hållbarare och därmed förlänga odlingssäsongen och skördeproduktivitet i Ladakh regionen.Personalen i SWASDAG kommer bestå av ett team av glaciologer, hydrologer, fjärranalys specialister, atmosfärforskare och ingenjörer. Under de första två åren kommer personalen att fokusera på att studera is och snös fysikaliska egenskaper i laboratoriemiljö och in situ samt identifiera lämpliga platser genom geospatial modellering för att installera fler glaciärer. Under det tredje året kommer projektet att samarbeta med de lokala myndigheterna genom en community-driven strategi för att garantera vattentillförsel och sysselsättning.

The overall objective of present research collaboration is to improve the mental health of young inmates and to strengthen the health care system within the prisons in Cambodia. This will be done through the development of a collaborative partnership between researchers at the Caritas-Center for Child and Adolescent Mental Health (CCAMH) in Phnom Penh and the unit of Epidemiology and Global Health (EpiGH) at Umeå University. This will be achieved through the combination of five interlinked research and capacity building specific aims: Research aimsTo assess prevalence and pattern of mental health problems and life skills among young prisoners;To evaluate the impact of the Life Skills Education intervention to promote mental health among young prisoners;To develop a plan to strengthen the mental health care system in the selected prisons. Capacity building and collaboration aimsTo identify conceptual and methodological approaches to promote mental health among youth prisoners and the strengthening of mental health care system in prisons;To build individual and institutional capacity in both research institutions in the areas above highlighted.The proposed research collaboration can highlight the health situation of youth inmates, give voice to their needs and create a space of dialogue with prison authorities aiming to improve the mental health and health care in the prisons nationwide. Kambodja, med cirka 15 miljoner människor, har en lång historia av krig och konflikter. Miljontals människor dog på grund av svält, sjukdom och avrättningar under Khmer Rouge styre på 1970-talet. Även om Kambodja under de senaste två decennierna har sett en snabb ekonomisk utveckling är det fortfarande ett av de fattigaste länderna i regionen. Sociala och ekonomiska villkor är kopplade till mental hälsa. Studier har visat en hög prevalens av många av de vanligaste psykiska diagnoserna samt en hög förekomst av självmord. Det finns en mycket begränsad kapacitet för att behandla psykiska sjukdomar i landet.Situationen för fångar i Kambodja är ännu mer besvärlig. Antalet fångar i Kambodjas har ökat med mer än 20% under 2016 vilket orsakar allvarliga utmaningar i samband med överbeläggning. Denna situation och de begränsade resurser som finns tillgängliga för fängelserna komplicerar tillgången av till någon form av rehabiliteringsprogram. Tillgången till hälso- och sjukvård och i synnerhet till vård för psykisk ohälsa är mycket begränsad. Det finns för närvarande inga program för mental hälsa i de kambodjanska fängelser. Det psykiska hälsotillståndet hos fångarna är därför okänt.Caritas Kambodja, en lokal icke-statlig organisation, har arbetat i fängelser i Kambodja sedan 2007. De senaste två åren har de inlett kontakter med fängelser för att diskutera hur man kan förbättra den mentala hälsan och hälsovården i fängelserna, särskilt bland ungdomar.Det övergripande syftet med forskningssamarbetet är att förbättra den mentala hälsan hos unga intagna och för att stärka hälso- och sjukvården inom fängelserna i Kambodja. Detta kommer att ske genom att utveckla ett samarbete mellan forskare vid Caritas-Center för barns och ungdomars psykiska hälsa (CCAMH) i Phnom Penh och enheten för Epidemiologi och Global Hälsa (EpiGH) vid Umeå universitet. Specifika mål med forskningen inkluderar:1) Studie av förekomsten och mönstret av psykisk ohälsa, självmordsbeteende och livskunskap bland unga fångar i Kambodja;2) Utvärdering av effekten av livskunskap (Life Skills) utbildning för att främja mental hälsa och social kompetens bland unga fångar;3) Utveckling av en plan för att stärka den psykiska hälso- och sjukvården i utvalda fängelser.Specifica mål för kapacitetsuppbyggnad och samarbete:1) Att identifiera konceptuella och metodologiska ansatser för att utforska främjande av mental hälsa bland fångar och stärka strukturer för vård i fängelser, med fokus på mental hälsa hos ungdomar;2) Att bygga individuell och institutionell kapacitet för att stärka genomförandet av den forskning som står i fokus.Studierna kommer att bedrivas i sex fängelser från olika delar av landet, som valts på grund av Caritas-Kambodja tidigare samarbeten.För att bedöma förekomsten av psykisk hälsa kommer en studie bland alla unga fångar 15-24 år i de sex fängelserna genomföras.

The overall objective of present research collaboration is to improve the mental health of young inmates and to strengthen the health care system within the prisons in Cambodia. This will be done through the development of a collaborative partnership between researchers at the Caritas-Center for Child and Adolescent Mental Health (CCAMH) in Phnom Penh and the unit of Epidemiology and Global Health (EpiGH) at Umeå University. This will be achieved through the combination of five interlinked research and capacity building specific aims: Research aimsTo assess prevalence and pattern of mental health problems and life skills among young prisoners;To evaluate the impact of the Life Skills Education intervention to promote mental health among young prisoners;To develop a plan to strengthen the mental health care system in the selected prisons. Capacity building and collaboration aimsTo identify conceptual and methodological approaches to promote mental health among youth prisoners and the strengthening of mental health care system in prisons;To build individual and institutional capacity in both research institutions in the areas above highlighted.The proposed research collaboration can highlight the health situation of youth inmates, give voice to their needs and create a space of dialogue with prison authorities aiming to improve the mental health and health care in the prisons nationwide. Kambodja, med cirka 15 miljoner människor, har en lång historia av krig och konflikter. Miljontals människor dog på grund av svält, sjukdom och avrättningar under Khmer Rouge styre på 1970-talet. Även om Kambodja under de senaste två decennierna har sett en snabb ekonomisk utveckling är det fortfarande ett av de fattigaste länderna i regionen. Sociala och ekonomiska villkor är kopplade till mental hälsa. Studier har visat en hög prevalens av många av de vanligaste psykiska diagnoserna samt en hög förekomst av självmord. Det finns en mycket begränsad kapacitet för att behandla psykiska sjukdomar i landet.Situationen för fångar i Kambodja är ännu mer besvärlig. Antalet fångar i Kambodjas har ökat med mer än 20% under 2016 vilket orsakar allvarliga utmaningar i samband med överbeläggning. Denna situation och de begränsade resurser som finns tillgängliga för fängelserna komplicerar tillgången av till någon form av rehabiliteringsprogram. Tillgången till hälso- och sjukvård och i synnerhet till vård för psykisk ohälsa är mycket begränsad. Det finns för närvarande inga program för mental hälsa i de kambodjanska fängelser. Det psykiska hälsotillståndet hos fångarna är därför okänt.Caritas Kambodja, en lokal icke-statlig organisation, har arbetat i fängelser i Kambodja sedan 2007. De senaste två åren har de inlett kontakter med fängelser för att diskutera hur man kan förbättra den mentala hälsan och hälsovården i fängelserna, särskilt bland ungdomar.Det övergripande syftet med forskningssamarbetet är att förbättra den mentala hälsan hos unga intagna och för att stärka hälso- och sjukvården inom fängelserna i Kambodja.

We also want to compare a newly described iflavirus found in the Chinese oak silkmoth, ApIV with a similar virus in A. mylitta.Wealth in India is unevenly distributed and the farmers engaged in silkworm production (sericulture) are typically poor. The annual income from sericulture is about 10 kSEK for a sericulture farmer, accounting for 60% of the total revenue. Virus infections are abundant, normally ending up in losses of about 10-20%, but sometimes as much as 80%, having major implications on family income for these poor farmers who are dependent on the harvest of pupae. We will in this project merge the knowledge from three countries in Asia with long experience in silkmoth practice with knowledge on viruses and RNAi in Sweden so that we in the end have a good foundation for continuation of the research.

The recovery of energy from renewable sources such as solar or wind power has enormous potential to meet current and future energy needs and to lead to a better preservation of nature and the environment. To develop suitable energetic solutions for stationary applications, an efficient and low cost energy storage system is needed. Lithium-ion batteries with high energy density have long constituted effective solutions to meet these demands. However, lithium resources are geopolitically sensitive minerals and recent years have seen increasing the lithium carbonate cost. The abundance and low cost of sodium (Na) in the earth and the sea is a great advantage for replacing lithium in parts of the energy system. This project aims to develop new cheap and environmentally benign electrode materials for rechargeable Na-ion batteries, targeting sustainable raw materials abundandt in Morocco. Materials for all parts of the battery will be explored. This scientific output will be achieved using the experience and the complementarities of the two involved institutions, and carried out through visits of young Moroccan researchers (PhD students) to Uppsala University to perform advanced analysis on Na-ion battery materials synthesized in Morocco, as well workshops in both countries. Användningen av batterier växer idag explosionsartat. Det är framför allt det batterier som innehåller högst mängd lagrad energi per vikts- och volymstäthet som är på stark frammarsch: litium-jonbatterierna. Dessa har länge haft använts för bärbar elektronik – vilket också är en växande marknad – men börjar nu i stor skala implementeras i elektriska fordon och hybridfordon av olika slag. Man tror att den installerade kapaciteten för fordonsbatterier kommer att tiodubblas mellan 2015 och 2025 (och sedan mångdubblas igen till 2030!), vilket föranleder dagens satsningar på nya batterifabriker för litium-jon.Vid sidan av batterier för fordon behövs också allt mer energilagring i elnätet. Detta behov uppkommer av att allt mer el produceras lokalt, och av enheter som inte producerar ström kontinuerligt – t ex solceller. Även här är batterier ett ofta attraktivt sätt att lagra energi, och prognoser tyder på att den installerade lagringskapaciteten i nätet kommer behöva vara större än för fordon år 2030. Med denna expansion behövs att fler typer av batterimaterial och -kemier studeras och utvecklas, än bara de baserade på litium-jon. Tillgången på litium är trots allt begränsad, och kommersiellt brytbara resurser är lokaliserade till ett fåtal länder, vilket gör mineralerna geopolitiskt känsliga.I detta sammanhang är det lätt att förstå att intresset för att ersätta litium med natrium har vuxit betydligt. Natrium (Na) erbjuder dock mycket mer miljömässigt och ekonomiskt hållbara alternativ än litium (Li). Natrium är det fjärde mest vanligt förekommande grundämnet i jordskorpan och finns i stora och lätt utvunna mängder i havsvatten (hälften av atomerna i koksalt är natrium). Natrium påminner elektrokemiskt om litium, vilket gör att energitätheten i de färdiga cellerna blir fortsatt hög – om än kanske inte hög nog för fordon, så för storskalig lagring.Det finns dock en rad problem som först måste lösas med Na-batterier innan de kan börja tillverkas på stor skala. Här krävs mycket mer forskning, och inte minst måste en fundamental förståelse för de ingående processerna skapas. Det har visat sig att de kemiska reaktionerna i natriumbaserade batterier är långt ifrån analoga till de i litiumbaserade, och orsakerna till detta är långt ifrån klarlagda. Detta gör att Na-batteriernas livslängd är betydligt sämre. Man skall i detta sammanhang betänka att kemierna hos litium-jonbatteriet studerats och utvecklats under flera tiotals år av tusentals forskare, utan att vara fullständigt klarlagda. Detta är kemiskt komplexa system, och akademisk forskning kan bidra väsentligt.  Det är detta sammanhang som detta sökta projekt föreslås. Marocko är ett land rikt på mineraler, bland annat sådana som kan användas för Na-batterier. Här finns stora möjligheter för att utveckla lokalt avancerade material istället för att exportera mineraler till producenter i andra (mer industrialiserade) länder. Landet har också potential för ett mer hållbart energisystem. Den inom projektet verksamma marockanska gruppen har också mycket goda kunskaper och möjligheter till syntes av nya material, men saknar den krävande utrustning som behövs för karaktärisering av dessa: att studera materialens struktur, deras ytkemi, samt deras elektrokemiska funktionalitet i batterier.

The recovery of energy from renewable sources such as solar or wind power has enormous potential to meet current and future energy needs and to lead to a better preservation of nature and the environment. To develop suitable energetic solutions for stationary applications, an efficient and low cost energy storage system is needed. Lithium-ion batteries with high energy density have long constituted effective solutions to meet these demands. However, lithium resources are geopolitically sensitive minerals and recent years have seen increasing the lithium carbonate cost. The abundance and low cost of sodium (Na) in the earth and the sea is a great advantage for replacing lithium in parts of the energy system. This project aims to develop new cheap and environmentally benign electrode materials for rechargeable Na-ion batteries, targeting sustainable raw materials abundandt in Morocco. Materials for all parts of the battery will be explored. This scientific output will be achieved using the experience and the complementarities of the two involved institutions, and carried out through visits of young Moroccan researchers (PhD students) to Uppsala University to perform advanced analysis on Na-ion battery materials synthesized in Morocco, as well workshops in both countries. Användningen av batterier växer idag explosionsartat. Det är framför allt det batterier som innehåller högst mängd lagrad energi per vikts- och volymstäthet som är på stark frammarsch: litium-jonbatterierna. Dessa har länge haft använts för bärbar elektronik – vilket också är en växande marknad – men börjar nu i stor skala implementeras i elektriska fordon och hybridfordon av olika slag. Man tror att den installerade kapaciteten för fordonsbatterier kommer att tiodubblas mellan 2015 och 2025 (och sedan mångdubblas igen till 2030!), vilket föranleder dagens satsningar på nya batterifabriker för litium-jon.Vid sidan av batterier för fordon behövs också allt mer energilagring i elnätet. Detta behov uppkommer av att allt mer el produceras lokalt, och av enheter som inte producerar ström kontinuerligt – t ex solceller. Även här är batterier ett ofta attraktivt sätt att lagra energi, och prognoser tyder på att den installerade lagringskapaciteten i nätet kommer behöva vara större än för fordon år 2030. Med denna expansion behövs att fler typer av batterimaterial och -kemier studeras och utvecklas, än bara de baserade på litium-jon. Tillgången på litium är trots allt begränsad, och kommersiellt brytbara resurser är lokaliserade till ett fåtal länder, vilket gör mineralerna geopolitiskt känsliga.I detta sammanhang är det lätt att förstå att intresset för att ersätta litium med natrium har vuxit betydligt. Natrium (Na) erbjuder dock mycket mer miljömässigt och ekonomiskt hållbara alternativ än litium (Li). Natrium är det fjärde mest vanligt förekommande grundämnet i jordskorpan och finns i stora och lätt utvunna mängder i havsvatten (hälften av atomerna i koksalt är natrium). Natrium påminner elektrokemiskt om litium, vilket gör att energitätheten i de färdiga cellerna blir fortsatt hög – om än kanske inte hög nog för fordon, så för storskalig lagring.Det finns dock en rad problem som först måste lösas med Na-batterier innan de kan börja tillverkas på stor skala. Här krävs mycket mer forskning, och inte minst måste en fundamental förståelse för de ingående processerna skapas. Det har visat sig att de kemiska reaktionerna i natriumbaserade batterier är långt ifrån analoga till de i litiumbaserade, och orsakerna till detta är långt ifrån klarlagda. Detta gör att Na-batteriernas livslängd är betydligt sämre. Man skall i detta sammanhang betänka att kemierna hos litium-jonbatteriet studerats och utvecklats under flera tiotals år av tusentals forskare, utan att vara fullständigt klarlagda. Detta är kemiskt komplexa system, och akademisk forskning kan bidra väsentligt.  Det är detta sammanhang som detta sökta projekt föreslås. Marocko är ett land rikt på mineraler, bland annat sådana som kan användas för Na-batterier. Här finns stora möjligheter för att utveckla lokalt avancerade material istället för att exportera mineraler till producenter i andra (mer industrialiserade) länder. Landet har också potential för ett mer hållbart energisystem. Den inom projektet verksamma marockanska gruppen har också mycket goda kunskaper och möjligheter till syntes av nya material, men saknar den krävande utrustning som behövs för karaktärisering av dessa: att studera materialens struktur, deras ytkemi, samt deras elektrokemiska funktionalitet i batterier. Uppsala har dock exakt det sistnämnda med tanke på att norra Europas största forskningsmiljö för batterier finns lokaliserad dit – och ett forskningssamarbete har därför uppenbara fördelar för båda parter.

A transition from pastoralism to agro-pastoralism has been observed in semi-arid areas in response to these challenges. The hypothesis for this project is that the resilience of this transition rests on the capacity to provide secure but still flexible access to land, the so called paradox of pastoralist land tenure.The purpose of this project is to conduct a comparative study of land tenure and capacity for climate adaption in four semi-arid, pastoralist regions in Kenya. The aim is to provide new insights on how pastoralist land tenure can be designed to enable effective adaptation strategies. The four Kenyan case study counties are all dominated by semi-arid land.We identify and categorize land tenure systems and associated practices within these four areas, and map the way land tenure is practiced in these counties through samples of communities in each county. This will enable an evaluation of the marginal valuation of changes in attributes central to household welfare and collective action. The project will use a combination of ecological methods to measure rangeland productivity, combined with interview data on household livestock and milk production, animal breeds and health.We will then synthesize these results to identify pathways towards resilient pastoralist land tenure systems and propose alternative tenure designs. För närvarande är mer än 23 miljoner människor över hela Afrikas horn beroende nomadiserande boskapsskötsel, så kallad pastoralism, för sitt uppehälle. Detta levnadssätt utmanas allt mer av en kombination av förlust av mark till förmån för jordbruksexpansion, turism, infrastruktur och annan markexploatering, men även frekventa och bestående politiska konflikter och våld, befolkningsökning, accelererande ekonomisk ojämlikhet och klimatförändringar. För att hantera dessa utmaningar har en pågående övergång från pastoralism till så kallad agro-pastoralism observerats i flera halvtorra områden i Kenya. Agro-pastoralism kännetecknas av en mer bofast tillvaro, samt mer privatiserad och kommersialiserad användning av mark. Den underliggande hypotesen för det föreslagna forskningsprojektet är att den långsiktiga uthålligheten i denna övergång från traditionella nomadiserande försörjningsstrategier till en mer bofast och marknadsorienterad försörjning vilar på möjligheten att ha en tillgång till mark som är säker men samtidigt ändå flexibel, den så kallade pastoralistparadoxen. Syftet med det föreslagna projektet är därför att analysera denna övergång genom en jämförande studie av sambandet mellan markinnehav och kapaciteten för klimatanpassning i fyra halvtorra regioner i Kenya som domineras av pastoralism. Genom en tvärvetenskaplig och stegvis uppbyggd forskningsdesign, som vägleds av ett fokus på sambandet mellan klimatsårbarhet och dynamiken i markrättsliga frågor, är syftet med att bidra med nya insikter om hur besittningsrätten för pastoralister kan utformas för att möjliggöra effektiva klimatanpassningsstrategier. De fyra kenyanska distrikt (counties) som valts som fallstudieområden är West Pokot, Baringo, Laikipia och Isiolo. De är alla dominerade av semiarida marker där pastoralism är eller har varit den dominerande försörjningen. Tillsammans ger dessa områden mycket relevanta och lämpliga möjligheter att studera sambandet mellan pastoralism och sårbarheten för klimatförändringar. I projektet kommer vi att (1) identifiera och kategorisera olika markägoförhållandena och tillhörande markanvändning inom och mellan dessa fyra områden i Kenya. Baserat på detta kommer vi därefter att (2) analysera hur drivkrafter som skapas genom olika markägoförhållandena påverkar pastoralisters markanvändning, hushållning med mark och boskap, samt bredare försörjningsstrategier. En enkätundersökning som kommer att genomföras över alla fyra fallstudieområden. Den kommer att göra det möjligt att skatta det marginella värdet av faktorer som är centrala för hushållens välfärd och gemensamma beslut, såsom boskapens hälsotillstånd, klimatvariationer och säkerheten i möjligheterna att nyttja betesmark. Detta kombineras med ekologiska metoder som kommer att användas för att mäta betesmarkers produktivitet över säsonger. Här ingår en beskrivning och analys av befintliga produktionssystem genom kvantitativa helårsmätningar i områden med olika förvaltningsmetoder med fokus på foderproduktion, biologisk mångfald, vattentillgänglighet, samt kvalitativa analyser av foder. Vi kommer också att genomföra kvalitativa intervjuer om hushållens boskap och mjölkproduktion, djurraser och hälsa, med fokus på förändringar över tid. Slutligen kommer vi sammanföra dessa resultat för att identifiera vägar mot klimatuthålliga markägoförhållandena för pastoralister. Med tanke på den allmänna bristen på empiriska studier om sambandet mellan pastoralism och motståndskraft mot klimatförändringar, är den föreslagna tvärvetenskapliga och jämförande studien ett innovativt empiriskt och metodologiskt bidrag. Projektet har även en stark betoning på dialog och interaktion genom flera workshops med avnämare, samt inbegriper en avslutande policydesignanalys. Det ger projektet en möjlighet att engagera pastorala samhällen samt beslutsfattare på olika nivåer för att identifiera sätt att hantera pastoralistparadoxen.

Next, we will train a team of community and health workers for a controlled early intervention study on these children in collaboration with UNICEF. In addition, we will perform a 3-year longitudinal follow up of our previously identified cohort of children with cerebral palsy and design, execute and evaluate goal directed interventions. Critical knowledge gaps in global outcomes for children with DDD will be addressed through this project and successful interventions will be scaled up and disseminated to other nations by the UNICEF collaboration.

Trots FN konventioner och internationella överenskommelser så är verkligheten för de 100-200 miljoner barn som lever med funktionshinder hård. I många delar av världen är inte ens deras basala behov tillgodosedda. De hålls ofta undangömda och lever i otillgängliga bostäder och samhällen med liten eller ingen tillgång till utbildning eller hälsovård. En minimal del av redan begränsade hälsovårdsresurser används till habilitering, och det är brist på kunnig habiliteringspersonal. De få resurser som finns används inte på ett effektivt sätt.De långsiktiga målen med vårt projekt som bedrivs i ett distrikt på landsorten i Uganda är att öka kunskapen om barn med funktionshinder och att utveckla och utvärdera olika behandlingsprogram som gör att barnen utvecklas, och att de och deras familjer inkluderas och blir delaktiga i samhället. I en nyligen genomförd befolkningsbaserad studie har vi funnit att det är mer än dubbelt så vanligt med CP i Uganda (5.8/1000) än i Sverige (2.1/1000). Att orsaken till CP är annorlunda (många fall av malaria hjärninfektioner och få fall för tidigt födda); att det är en ökad dödlighet framför all bland svårt skadade barn. Vi fann också att enbart 30% av barn i skolåldern gick i skola. I den nu planerade studien kommer vi att följa upp utveckling och dödlighet i denna grupp om 97 barn, och utveckla och pröva ett nytt, specialanpassat behandlingsprogram som inriktar sig på att öka barnens färdighet och mobilitet och framförallt åtgärder som gör att de inkluderas i olika samhällsaktiviteter, exempelvis skolan.I den andra delen av projektet kommer vi att använda den unika resurs som den demografiska  siten i Iganga innebär för att svara på frågan hur vanligt det är med någon form av funktionsnedsättning bland barn. På global nivå varierar beräkningen stort; mellan 100-250 miljoner. I Sverige och andra höginkomstländer vet vi att ca ett av tio barn har funktionsnedsättning men det finns inga tillförlitliga data från låginkomstländer (LMIC). Vi planerar att använda samma metod som vid föregående screening av CP och göra en så kallad tre-stegs-screening av ca 25 000 barn som bor inom området. I detta fall kommer vi att screena för alla typer av funktionsnedsättning som finns och räknar med att fånga omkring 8000 barn i första omgången, och mellan 2000 - 4000 efter en andra genomgång.

If an efficient recycling technology could be developed, it could create an economic incentive to decrease pollution while stimulating independent economic growth. Poly(ethyleneterephthalate) (PET) is a major polymer type largely aimed at consumer applications like food containers and soft drink bottles. The low cost and high availability of PET from fossil feedstocks have made their products affordable even to the poorest people in the world. While these properties bring positive effects to impoverished regions, its global use also entails waste issues due to its non-biodegradable nature. For example, PET alone has been estimated to account for 8-12% of global solid waste. Most severely affected by waste pollution are the developing countries. Chemical recycling is largely considered the only sustainable final alternative, but current methods are expensive. Thus, new depolymerization technologies are needed that are more efficient.

I Europa återvinns ca 50 procent av all PET, i USA är samma siffra ca 30 procent och i övriga delar av världen är siffran betydligt lägre. Eftersom PET inte bryts ned i naturen, medför det ett stort framtida miljöhot då det i nuvarande takt inte heller återvinns i tillräckligt stor omfattning.

If an efficient recycling technology could be developed, it could create an economic incentive to decrease pollution while stimulating independent economic growth. Poly(ethyleneterephthalate) (PET) is a major polymer type largely aimed at consumer applications like food containers and soft drink bottles. The low cost and high availability of PET from fossil feedstocks have made their products affordable even to the poorest people in the world. While these properties bring positive effects to impoverished regions, its global use also entails waste issues due to its non-biodegradable nature. For example, PET alone has been estimated to account for 8-12% of global solid waste. Most severely affected by waste pollution are the developing countries. Chemical recycling is largely considered the only sustainable final alternative, but current methods are expensive. Thus, new depolymerization technologies are needed that are more efficient. Catalysis as a method can be highly cost efficient, since it potentially only requires small amounts of added catalyst that can ultimately be reused.

Sjukdomsutbrott hos människor och djur riskerar fattiga familjers försörjning på samma sätt som jordbävningar, torka, översvämning och militära konflikter. För fattiga familjer blir effekterna av djursjukdomar speciellt kännbara då djuren förutom att förse familjen med mat, dragkraft och bränsle också fungerar som skyddsnät och kapitalreserv för svåra tider. Djursjukdomar hindrar på så vis fattiga familjer från att lämna fattigdom och kan också mycket snabbt vända hushållens positiva ekonomiska utveckling till en nedåtgående spiral. För många av de sjukdomar som hotar liv och försörjningsmöjligheter för fattiga människor är spridningssätt och bekämpningsmöjligheter väl kända, men det blir alltmer tydligt att endast faktakunskaper inte är tillräckligt för att kunna kontrollera dessa sjukdomar. Detta visades till exempel  vid den senaste ebolaepidemin i Västafrika där spridningen inte upphörde förrän sociala aspekter och lokala sedvänjor blev en central del i bekämpningen.Grisproduktionen ökar i Afrika söder om Sahara och skulle kunna bidra till minskad fattigdom för många småbönder. Fler grisar i området har tyvärr också lett till ökad förekomst av afrikansk svinpest, en blödarfeber som drabbar grisar med nästan 100% dödlighet.

The proposed research will implement an F3 recurrent genomic selection (GS) breeding scheme to deliver heat-tolerant, super-early, top industrial quality, and yield superior durum wheat varieties along the Senegal River Basin. It is hypothesized that GS shall provide higher genetic gain than a scheme based on marker-assisted or cross-breeding methods. This study will further show how to deliver improved durum wheat cultivars following three parallel breeding strategies with increased level of molecular predictions. Moreover, three of such methods will be tested to determine which one delivered the maximum genetic gains. In parallel, it shall sustain the grain yield testing of several elite lines along the River Senegal and their initial fast-track multiplication for delivering rapid impact. It is hypothesized that smallholder farmers shall benefit from this new technology by sowing seeds of improved varieties that ensure higher and more stable yields, while also obtaining higher market prices Senegalfloden ger vatten till bevattning åt mer än 200 000 hektar risodling längs dess flodområde (Guinea, Mali, Mauretanien och Senegal). Mauretanien och Senegal är fattiga, svårt svältdrabbade länder, de rankas på 55: e och 44: e plats i Global Hunger Index, med ett starkt beroende av jordbruk och boskap. Stora områden av de båda länderna består av öknar eller halvtorra områden, med otillräcklig nederbörd för att upprätthålla jordbruket. Den mest fertila regionen är längs Senegalfloden är vid gränsen mellan de två länderna. Byggandet av dammar vid Manantali och Diama upprättade ett effektivt system för bevattning av de omgivande landområdena. Den dominerande grödan är ris, som vanligtvis odlas under översilning två säsonger i rad. En torr, varm säsong mellan mars och juni, och en våt, varm säsong mellan juli och november. Under den kalla perioden, mitten av november till mitten av mars, lämnas fälten i träda. Området längs Senegalfloden erkänns som en viktig zon för social stabilitet och utrotningen av svält i Västafrika. Genom avel och agronomi, har vi visat att det pågående projektet (som slutar 2017), att durumvetessorter med tidig mognad och hög värmetolerans gav över tre ton ha-1 på bara 90 dagar på de platser längs Senegalfloden där den testades. Dessutom är de skördade durumvetekornen av högsta kvalitet och kan säljas på den internationella marknaden till ett pris av över 300 € t-1. När projektet väl har skalats upp, kommer det resultera i 500 000 ton ny mat eller 150 miljoner € extra i intäkter för småbrukare, utan att påverka den aktuella risproduktionen. Mauretanien och Senegal är båda konsumenter av couscous och andra grynprodukter, som importeras som industriprodukter för över 20 miljoner € årligen, därtill i form av 100 miljoner € av durum korn till de tre industripastafabriker som finns i Mauretanien och Senegal. Genom att tillgängliggöra högavkastande durumvetesorter anpassade till detta flodområde kommer mängden protein som kan assimileras i kosten öka, samt den totala mängden tillgängliga kalorier, och på ett praktiskt sätt bidra till att öka mängden mat som finns på bordet, och landsbygds inkomster.Syftet med detta projekt är att genom avancerad avel leverera supertidiga, högavkastande och värmetoleranta durumvetesorter som kan ersätta vinterträda säsongen längs Senegalfloden, och att produktion av nya livsmedel ej kommer påverka den befintliga risproduktionen, samt att generera en ny marknad som ger inkomster till småbrukare av denna växande gröda längs flodområdet och därmed minska fattigdomen på landsbygden genom att skapa nya jobb som upprätthåller pastaindustrin. Den föreslagna forskningen kommer att bestå av en F3 med återkommande genomisk selektion (GS) med förädlingsmålen att leverera värmetoleranta och supertidiga durumvetesorter med hög avkastning av god industriellkvalitet att odla längs Senegalfloden. Det antas att GS kommer at ge en högre genetisk förstärkning än ett system som endast bygger på markörassisterade- eller korsförädlingsmetoder. Denna studie kommer ytterligare att visa hur man kan leverera förbättrade durumvetesorter genom tre parallella avelsstrategier med ökad nivå av molekylära förutsägelser. Dessutom kommer tre av dessa metoder testas för att fastställa vilken modell som levererade de högsta genetiska vinster. Parallellt skall studien upprätthålla de pågående testerna av fröskörd från flera elitlinjer längs Senegalfloden samt deras accelererade multiplikationsmetod för att leverera snabbt genomslag. Det antas att småbrukare kommer kunna dra nytta av den nya tekniken genom att så frön av förbättrade sorter som säkerställer högre och mer stabil avkastning, samtidigt som högre marknadspriser kan uppnås.Den Sveriges Lantbruksuniversitet (SLU), International Center for Agricultural Research in the Dry Areas (ICARDA), Institut National de Recherche Agronomique (INRA) i Marocko, Centre National de Recherche Agronomique et de Développement Agricole (CNRADA) i Mauretanien och Institut S Sweden The Swedish Research Council The Swedish Research Council +46 8 546 44 000 vetenskapsradet@vr.se www.vr.se Box 1035, 101 38 Stockholm, Sweden Mali Research/scientific institutions Other Multisector In 2020, the durum wheat cultivars ‘Amina’, ‘Haby’ and ‘Dioufissa’ were released in Senegal No indicator available - only a description of the activity results is published SE-0-SE-29-2017-05522_1-1 Sweden This project aims to deliver by advanced breeding super-early high-yielding and heat tolerant durum wheat varieties to replace the winter fallow season along the Senegal River Basin (Mali-Mauritania-Senegal), with the scope of producing new food without affecting the existing rice production, and to generate new market that brings income to smallholders growing this crop within the Basin, thus reducing poverty in the rural areas, and generating new jobs via sustaining the pasta industry.

Our preliminary results reveal five times greater survival and 78% higher biomass in inoculated plants under drought stress using the plant growth promoting bacteria (PGPR) from the harsh environments. The yield is further increased by 25% at the presence of sol-gel produced nanoparticles (NP). We hypothesize that the increased biomass results from significant re-programming of higher plant metabolism via the stimulation of mineral element uptake and utilization that lead to a boost in the metabolic activity. We assume that the process is controlled by surface characteristics of the NPs. To test the hypothesis mineral NP library will be developed, characterized and  used for PGPR formulation on sorghum and wheat isogenic lines. The inoculation effect on plants will be tested using advanced phenotyping technologies such as synchrotron X-ray fluorescence microscopy, inductively coupled plasma  mass spectrometry, scanning electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy. The NP-PGPR complex studies will lead to biomarkers development and will ensure their reproducible application for SSA smallholder farmers, thus improving their livelihoods. Jordbruket utmanas av snabba befolkningsökningar och klimatförändringar. Förekomsten av extrema klimat förväntas öka inom den överskådliga framtiden. Ökad effektivitet i hållbar grödproduktion samt växtförädling med nyttiga bakterie- och jordtillskott, vilket mildrar klimatförändringarna, kommer att bli grundläggande för att möta dessa utmaningar. Sådana mikroorganismer kan underlätta växternas vatten- och näringsupptag, samt motverka flera olika typer av stress som kan drabba växter. De positiva effekterna som många av dessa mikroorganismer har på växter förmedlas av en rad mekanismer, däribland förbättrat upptag av mineralnäring och biofilmbildning på växternas rötter. Det är känt att dessa ´harsh environment´ bakterier i rotzonen, som vi föreslår i projektet, har utvecklats tillsammans med växtrötter under årtusenden. Flera system i växter och bakterier har utvecklat som utlöser tillgängliga resurser och initierar en metabolisk tillväxt vilket behövs i olika stressituationer i jordbruk under klimatförändringar. Kommersiellt bruk av de växtbefrämjande bakterier kräver dock att ett antal frågor hanteras. Specifika bakteriella samhällen måste noggrant matchas till olika växtarter. Genom utvecklandet av effektiva metoder för bakteriella ”formulation” och övervakning kan tekniken användas i stor skala i fält. Nanotekniska lösningar, såsom mediatorer av växtmikrobiella interaktioner har potential att öppna nya vägar till att förbättra hållbarheten i jordbruksmetoder. I detta projekt utvecklar vi den nanopartikelbaserade teknologin för användning på fälten och utvärderar dess effektivitet på näringsupptaget och ökad tolerans för torka hos sorghum och vete i på fälten i Etiopien, Kenya och Uganda via ’Farmers Field Schools’ (SSF). Projektets koncept är synnerligen innovativt i och med att extremt lite är känt om rollen för nanomaterial från naturliga mineraler i jord. De hypoteser som formulerats för projektet baseras på mycket uppmuntrande preliminära resultat och står på en solid grund av kemiska och biologiska principer. Sambandet mellan växter, mikrober och den omgivande miljön är högst komplex och kan utöva inflytande på varandra. Genom att endast studera dessa komplexa samband kommer vi att kunna bidra till att förmildra växtstressen till följd av extrema klimat i SSA-odlingar. Vi kommer att i detta sammanhang tillämpa avelsprogram med hänsyn till växtartens mikrobiom. Vi kommer att använda avancerade synkotronbaserad tekniker för pålitlig multimodal ’phenotyping’ och kombinera teknikerna med genetiskt definierade växtbestånd. På detta sätt kommer växtmikrobiomers fenotyper att interagera med den underliggande genetiska grunden.  Forskningsresultaten kommer att i grunden förbättra förståelsen av fundamentala processer i jorden. Nya synkotronbaserade tillvägagångssätt kommer att bidra med nya verktyg för studiet av jordprocesser på nanonivå. Intresset för frågan om nanopartikelinteraktioner och metaboliska effekter i växters mikrobiom ökar i rask takt och kommer sannolikt att få starkt internationellt stöd inom kort. Arbetet kommer att utföras i samarbete med världsledande experter på området.  Särskild fokus ligger på förbättrad kommunikation av metodutvecklingen mellan forskare i Sverige, SSA och på potentiella användare av metoden i SSA.  Detta kommer att ske i samarbete med ASARECA och lokala myndigheter. Vi kommer att skapa lokala initiativgrupper för informationsspridning och produktutveckling i SSA som diskuterar tekniken med berörda parter inom ramen för konferenser och workshops som planeras inom projektet. Inom detta projekt föreligger en kombination av avancerade forskningsmetoder som kopplas till praktisk fältforskning. Det utgör en unik möjlighet att utbilda lokalbefolkningen för att på sikt öka avkastningen av viktiga grödor som sorghum och  vete i SSA på ett miljövänligt och ekologiskt hållbart sätt.

Our preliminary results reveal five times greater survival and 78% higher biomass in inoculated plants under drought stress using the plant growth promoting bacteria (PGPR) from the harsh environments. The yield is further increased by 25% at the presence of sol-gel produced nanoparticles (NP). We hypothesize that the increased biomass results from significant re-programming of higher plant metabolism via the stimulation of mineral element uptake and utilization that lead to a boost in the metabolic activity. We assume that the process is controlled by surface characteristics of the NPs. To test the hypothesis mineral NP library will be developed, characterized and  used for PGPR formulation on sorghum and wheat isogenic lines. The inoculation effect on plants will be tested using advanced phenotyping technologies such as synchrotron X-ray fluorescence microscopy, inductively coupled plasma  mass spectrometry, scanning electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy. The NP-PGPR complex studies will lead to biomarkers development and will ensure their reproducible application for SSA smallholder farmers, thus improving their livelihoods. Jordbruket utmanas av snabba befolkningsökningar och klimatförändringar. Förekomsten av extrema klimat förväntas öka inom den överskådliga framtiden. Ökad effektivitet i hållbar grödproduktion samt växtförädling med nyttiga bakterie- och jordtillskott, vilket mildrar klimatförändringarna, kommer att bli grundläggande för att möta dessa utmaningar. Sådana mikroorganismer kan underlätta växternas vatten- och näringsupptag, samt motverka flera olika typer av stress som kan drabba växter. De positiva effekterna som många av dessa mikroorganismer har på växter förmedlas av en rad mekanismer, däribland förbättrat upptag av mineralnäring och biofilmbildning på växternas rötter. Det är känt att dessa ´harsh environment´ bakterier i rotzonen, som vi föreslår i projektet, har utvecklats tillsammans med växtrötter under årtusenden. Flera system i växter och bakterier har utvecklat som utlöser tillgängliga resurser och initierar en metabolisk tillväxt vilket behövs i olika stressituationer i jordbruk under klimatförändringar. Kommersiellt bruk av de växtbefrämjande bakterier kräver dock att ett antal frågor hanteras. Specifika bakteriella samhällen måste noggrant matchas till olika växtarter. Genom utvecklandet av effektiva metoder för bakteriella ”formulation” och övervakning kan tekniken användas i stor skala i fält.

In consequence of the economic crisis, many Portuguese have migrated to the former colony of Mozambique. This project analyses this case of North-South postcolonial migration and its potential effects for development. The overall aim is to explore the exchange of knowledge, skills and experiences between Portuguese and Mozambicans who work together, and inquire into how emotions shaped by the postcolonial encounter influence this exchange. By focusing on a two-way transfer of knowledge, the project considers both capacity development among Mozambicans and integration processes among the Portuguese.The project will be carried out 2018-2020 by a multi-disciplinary team. The main method of data collection will be semi-structured interviews carried out with 30 Portuguese migrants and 30 Mozambicans working together with these migrants.The project aim to deliver the following new perspectives and data: a) an exploration of North-South labour migration, which is emerging and under-studied migratory trend, b) a novel analysis of the development potential of North-South migration, with a special emphasis on exchange of knowledge, c)  a new approach to integration processes d) a postcolonial reading based on concrete empirical data, which some critics argue is lacking in postcolonial studies, e) qualitative data on the recent Portuguese migration to Mozambique. År 2008 slog finanskrisen till i Portugal. Drastiska lönesänkningar, utbredd arbetslöshet och en djup osäkerhet inför framtiden drabbade befolkningen, och en långvarig recession bröt ut. I kölvattnet av denna utveckling har många portugiser migrerat till landets forna kolonier i Södra Afrika i jakt på arbete och en stabil inkomst. Inledningsvis attraherade Angola merparten av de portugisiska migranterna, men på grund av försämrade förhållanden i Angola har många portugiser under de senaste åren istället begett sig till Moçambique. Denna typ av arbetskraftsmigration representerar ett nytt historiskt kapitel i relationerna mellan Europa och Afrika.Syftet med detta projekt är att undersöka det kunskapsutbyte som äger rum mellan portugisiska migranter i Mocambique och deras moçambikiska ”värdar”. Projektet fokuserar på utbyte av kunskaper, färdigheter och erfarenheter mellan portugiser och moçambikier som arbetar tillsammans på samma arbetsplatser. Genom att studera det ömsesidiga kunskapsutbytet mellan dessa två grupper avser projektet att utforska 1) i vilken mån detta utbyte bidrar till kapacitetsutveckling bland moçambikier, 2) i vilken mån detta utbyte bidrar till bättre integration av portugiserna. Många portugisiska migranter har antingen startat mindre företag eller arbetar som lärare på olika nivåer i det moçambikiska utbildningsystemet. Samtidigt pekar den moçambikiska staten ut satsningar på entreprenörskap och utbildning som centralt för landets utveckling. Mot bakgrund av detta avser projektet att särskilt fördjupa sig i kapacitetsutveckling kring småföretagande och pedagogik.Syftet är emellertid inte att studera en enkelriktad överföring av kunskaper från portugiser till moçambikier. Liksom för andra migranter förutsätter en lyckad integration av portugiserna att de är villiga att lära sig om sociala, kulturella och politiska förhållanden i destinationslandet och på arbetsplatsen. Projektet avser därför också att följa vilka kunskaper, färdigheter och erfarenheter som moçambikier försöker överföra till sina portugisiska kollegor, och hur de tar emot dessa. Genom att studera integration av europeiska migranter i en afrikansk kontext avser projektet också belysa några av de stereotypa föreställningar som ibland förekommer i traditionell integrationsforskning.Inom forskningen kring migration och utveckling finns många studier kring kunskapsöverföring. Dessa studier berör företrädesvis migration från Afrika till Europa, och de kunskaper och erfarenheter som afrikanska migranter eventuellt överför till sina ursprungsländer. Detta projekt representerar därmed något nytt genom att belysa migration motsatt riktning, och dess betydelse för kunskapsöverföring. Troligen kommer denna typ av migration att öka i och med tilltagande globalisering och alltmer komplexa och varierade migrationsströmmar.Postkoloniala relationer och de känslor som uppstått i kolonialismens kölvatten är också viktiga för projektet. Pedagogisk forskning har visat att känslor är centrala för lärandeprocesser, och det har projektet tagit fasta på. Vi avser undersöka hur de starka och ofta ambivalenta känslor som präglar mötet mellan portugiser och moçambikier påverkar kunskapsutbytet dem emellan. I den postkoloniala forskningstraditionen har många forskare visat att de känslor som uppstår mellan forna kolonisatörer och forna koloniserade ofta är präglade av en stark ambivalens. Å ena sidan är båda sidor ofta rädda för varandra och kan hysa ömsesidiga aggressiva känslor. Å andra sidan kan det också finnas ett starkt igenkännande och en viss attraktion. Den mycket begränsade forskning som finns om de portugisiska migranterna visar att de inte litar på moçambikierna och ser ned på dem, men att de också är attraherade av dem. På den moçambikiska sidan finns ilska och hämndkänslor, samtidigt som man ser upp till portugisisk kunskap, och ofta framhåller att portugiserna är ”bra lärare”.

We will use a comparative social-ecological study of small-scale fisheries across the western Indo-Pacific Ocean to investigate human use and dependence on seagrass ecosystems; the highly productive but largely neglected ‘ugly duckling of marine conservation’. We hypothesize that seagrasses are ‘the ecosystems of last resort’ providing food and income to vulnerable people who lack alternatives, and that seagrass fisheries provide a ‘backup’ livelihood when other ecosystems (e.g. coral reefs) are inaccessible. To achieve the aims of the project we will, together with long-time collaborators and early career scientists from low- and middle-income countries, form a large Indo-Pacific Seagrass Network (IPSN). We will perform coupled social-ecological surveys in 15 regions across environmental and socio-economic gradients, to address 3 core questions: 1) does seagrass biodiversity support the production of fish and invertebrate resources, and how is this link affected by human action, natural drivers and management, 2) how do seagrass fisheries support livelihoods, and how is this influenced by characteristics of people and environmental conditions, 3) what are the main obstacles and opportunities for sustainable use of seagrass meadows, given local scenarios of socio-economic development and climate change? Fattiga människor är ofta beroende av naturens ekosystemtjänster för mat och inkomst. Samtidigt vet vi att förlust av biologisk mångfald missgynnar ekosystem. Däremot är det fortfarande oklart huruvida förvaltning för hög biologisk mångfald faktiskt gynnar ekosystemtjänster och kan minska fattigdom, vilket försvårar både fattigdomsbekämpning och miljöförvaltning. För att klargöra dessa samband behöver vi mer och djupare kunskap, dels om 1) huruvida biologisk mångfald faktiskt gynnar livsnödvändiga ekosystemtjänster, och hur miljö- och klimatvariation påverkar dessa samband, samt 2) hur olika individers kunskap, egenskaper och förutsättningar påverkar deras preferenser och möjligheter att nyttja olika ekosystemtjänster, och därigenom minska fattigdom. Mot denna bakgrund kommer vi – en tvärvetenskaplig grupp forskare från Sverige, Tanzania och Storbritannien – bilda ett större forskningsnätverk och tillsammans undersöka hur biologisk mångfald och människors förutsättningar bidrar till fattigdomsbekämpning i Indiska Oceanens och västra Stilla havets tropiska kustområden.Orden "biologisk mångfald" och ”tropiska kustområden” får nog många att tänka på färgsprakande korallrev. Den här studien fokuserar istället på mångfald i ett mindre känt och mindre färgglatt, men minst lika viktigt ekosystem; sjögräsängar. Sjögräs är blomväxter som bildar täta och böljande undervattens-ängar i grunda havsområden. I Indiska Oceanen och Stilla havet har sjögräsen en hög mångfald och tillväxt, och utgör viktiga ’barnkammare’ för t.ex. fiskyngel och kräftdjur, som antingen förblir i sjögräsängarna under hela livet eller flyttar till andra ekosystem (t.ex. korallrev) när de växt sig större. Den höga produktionen av fisk gör också att sjögräsängar ofta fiskas för att generera mat och inkomst. Eftersom sjögräsen ofta växer grunt och nära land, så kan även de män och kvinnor som saknar tillgångar (t.ex. båtar och dyra redskap) fiska där. Vi ser också indikationer på att rikare fiskare, som vanligtvis fiskar längre ut och i djupare vatten, också nyttjar sjögräsängar när väder och vind förhindrar deras vanliga fiske. Vi ser också tecken på att i områden där t.ex. korallrev påverkats starkt av miljö- och klimatförändringar, så sker ett allt intensivare fiske i sjögräsängar. Dessa indicier pekar åt ett och samma håll: diversa och friska sjögräsängar utgör en ’försäkring’ för de fattigaste människorna i kustområdena, men även för andra fiskare när andra ekosystem inte klarar trycket från klimat- och miljöförändringar. Men eftersom sjögräsängarna (och fisket som sker där) är mycket dåligt studerade och kartlagda, så är sjögräsängarna och deras fiske sällan förvaltade. Detta gör att hela sjögräsekosystemet – som den marin förvaltningens bortglömda ’fula ankunge’ – utsätts för ett allt högre tryck, vilket riskerar att utarma mångfalden, minska produktionen av livsviktiga resurser och förvärra fattigdom.För att ta fram ett gediget kunskapsunderlag om betydelsen av kopplingarna mellan sjögräsängar och människan för fattigdomsbekämpning kommer vi bilda ett regionalt samarbetsnätverk (kallat ISPN) tillsammans med en stor grupp andra forskare från områdena kring Indiska Oceanen och västra Stilla havet. Först kommer vi genomföra en komparativ ekologisk studie av sjögräsekosystem i 15 regioner (från de fattigaste till de rikare), och statistiskt analysera den relativa betydelsen av sjögräsängar och deras mångfald för de lokala fiskbestånden. Sedan kommer vi i flera regioner - bl.a. Tanzania, Kenya, Moçambique och Indonesien - studera sjögräsfisket. Vi kommer kartlägga hur, var, varför och när på året sjögräsängar fiskas, vilka arter som fiskas, samt hur relativt viktiga fångster i sjögräsängar är för kustfisket. Sedan kommer vi på samma platser intervjua både fattiga och rikare fiskare för att kartlägga om, för vem och på vilka sätt sjögräsängar bidrar till mat, inkomst och arbete, samt hur beroende de är av sjögräsängarna om t.ex. miljön, klimatet eller förvaltningen Sweden The Swedish Research Council The Swedish Research Council +46 8 546 44 000 vetenskapsradet@vr.se www.vr.se Box 1035, 101 38 Stockholm, Sweden Developing countries, unspecified Research/scientific institutions Other Multisector Saknas No indicator available - only a description of the activity results is published SE-0-SE-29-2017-05535_2-1 Sweden This project will assess the joint influences of marine biodiversity and characteristics of coastal people on the role of seagrass systems in supporting poverty alleviation.

Vi ser också tecken på att i områden där t.ex. korallrev påverkats starkt av miljö- och klimatförändringar, så sker ett allt intensivare fiske i sjögräsängar. Dessa indicier pekar åt ett och samma håll: diversa och friska sjögräsängar utgör en ’försäkring’ för de fattigaste människorna i kustområdena, men även för andra fiskare när andra ekosystem inte klarar trycket från klimat- och miljöförändringar. Men eftersom sjögräsängarna (och fisket som sker där) är mycket dåligt studerade och kartlagda, så är sjögräsängarna och deras fiske sällan förvaltade. Detta gör att hela sjögräsekosystemet – som den marin förvaltningens bortglömda ’fula ankunge’ – utsätts för ett allt högre tryck, vilket riskerar att utarma mångfalden, minska produktionen av livsviktiga resurser och förvärra fattigdom.För att ta fram ett gediget kunskapsunderlag om betydelsen av kopplingarna mellan sjögräsängar och människan för fattigdomsbekämpning kommer vi bilda ett regionalt samarbetsnätverk (kallat ISPN) tillsammans med en stor grupp andra forskare från områdena kring Indiska Oceanen och västra Stilla havet. Först kommer vi genomföra en komparativ ekologisk studie av sjögräsekosystem i 15 regioner (från de fattigaste till de rikare), och statistiskt analysera den relativa betydelsen av sjögräsängar och deras mångfald för de lokala fiskbestånden. Sedan kommer vi i flera regioner - bl.a. Tanzania, Kenya, Moçambique och Indonesien - studera sjögräsfisket. Vi kommer kartlägga hur, var, varför och när på året sjögräsängar fiskas, vilka arter som fiskas, samt hur relativt viktiga fångster i sjögräsängar är för kustfisket. Sedan kommer vi på samma platser intervjua både fattiga och rikare fiskare för att kartlägga om, för vem och på vilka sätt sjögräsängar bidrar till mat, inkomst och arbete, samt hur beroende de är av sjögräsängarna om t.ex. miljön, klimatet eller förvaltningen Sweden Stockholms universitet The Swedish Research Council Stockholms universitet 9.5 - Enhance scientific research, upgrade the technological capabilities of industrial sectors in all countries, in particular developing countries, including, by 2030, encouraging innovation and substantially increasing the number of research and development workers per 1 million people and public and private research and development spending. 9.5 - Förbättra forskningen och industrisektorernas tekniska kapacitet i alla länder, i synnerhet utvecklingsländerna, bland annat genom att till 2030 uppmuntra innovation och väsentligt öka det antal personer som arbetar med forskning och utveckling per 1 miljon människor liksom de offentliga och privata utgifterna för forskning och utveckling.

However, the current scientific paradigm says that we must choose which problem to solve as increasing tree cover always reduces water availability. Consider the costs if this thinking is wrong. In Africa, 175 M ha of degraded lands are judged suitable for tree planting which could significantly enhance people’s livelihoods. Our previous research in the seasonally dry tropics indicates that an intermediate tree cover can often improve groundwater recharge. This need testing on a larger scale, but if confirmed will upend the prevailing view in hydrology and have profound implications for policies affecting millions of livelihoods and the environment.  Thus, the aim of this project is to provide evidence for better policies and management that will benefit poor people in drylands by evaluating the novel “optimum tree cover theory” for groundwater recharge across African drylands. The project involves four leading institutions; SLU, ICRAF, WU and NMBU. We will use the Land Degradation Surveillance Framework; a unique dataset that is available across Africa. It consists of multiple variables, including tree cover and key soil variables. We will do complementary strategic measurements of soil water flow and tree water use to model groundwater recharge as a function of tree cover under common conditions of the seasonally dry tropics.

The existence of latent and persistent P. vivax hypnozoites in the liver makes this species less amenable to elimination efforts than P. falciparum. Vanuatu is an archipelago of 68 inhabited islands in the southwest Pacific. Our overall purpose is to achieve sustainable malaria elimination in the entire archipelago, based on the achievement on Aneityum Island over the last 25 years. Furthermore innovative strategies for P. vivax elimination are desired. With the establishment of the Center for Malaria Elimination in Port Vila, we specifically aim to 1) establish a robust malaria surveillance system to detect asymptomatic and sub-microscopic infections by PCR and identify remaining hotspots, 2) examine the containment strategy of short-term mass drug administration in concert with long-term vector control to eliminate infections in detected hotspots, 3) support the wider use of primaquine against P. vivax hypnozoites by investigating human CYP2D6 polymorphisms and G6PD deficiency related to primaquine metabolism and safety, respectively, 4) create a local economic mechanism such as malaria free award to encourage changes in human behaviors towards self-protection against malaria infections, and 5) characterize the changes in genetic diversity of the last parasites and human anti-parasite immunity after malaria elimination.

För att lyckas behövde vi skräddarsy ett kontrollprogram för malariafrihet efter de lokala epidemiologiska förhållandena. Massutdelning av läkemedel (MDA) veckovis med chloroquine Fansidar och primaquine genomfördes för hela populationen på 718 invånare på Aneityum under nio veckor 1991. Samtidigt distribuerades insektsimpregnerade myggnät till hela befolkningen. Larvivorous-fisk inplanterades i ett stort antal spridningskällor på Anopheles farauti med stort samhällsengagemang. Periodisk malariaövervakning visade att P. falciparum efter MDA helt försvunnit och likaså P Vivax efter 1996.[Kaneko et al. 2000]. Frihet från malaria har sedan upprätthållits med undantag av ett P. vivax-utbrott 2002 [Kaneko et al. 2014]. En risk för utbrott  på malariafria öar förelåg på de södra delarna av Vanuatu efter den tropiska cyklonen Pam 2015. Emellertid visade undersökningar att inget fall tre månader efter cyklonen i motsats till den stora ökningen efter cyklonen Uma 1987 [Chan et al. 2017]. Aneityum-projektet demonstrerar långsiktigt hållbarhet av malariaelimineringen och visar för omvärlden att konceptet håller. Med resultatet från Aneityum som grund är vårt mål att utrota malarian på alla bebodda öar i Vanuatu under nästa decennium. Därför behöver vi ytterligare utveckla strategin för P Vivax-eliminering något som många malariadrabbade länder i Asien och i Stilla Havet söker efter.Vi vill att (1) etablera en robust övervakning av asymtomatiska och sub-mikroskopiska infektioner genom att introducera PCR för att upptäcka återstående ”hot spots”,(2) undersöka vad en strategi för MDA ska innehålla på kort sikt tillsammans med långsiktig vektorstyrning för att eliminera malariainfektioner i upptäckta ”hot spots”,(3 ) stödja en bredare användning av Primakin för radikal behandling mot Plasmodium vivax hypnozoiter genom att undersöka mänskliga polymorfismer relaterade till Primakin metabolism och säkerhet,(4) undersöka mänskligt beteende, samhällsengagemang och nyttan med att skapa utvecklingsmekanismer såsom belöningar för malariafrihet för att driva beteendeförändringar mot egenkontroll av malaria infektioner och(5) beskriva förändringar i mångfalden hos de sista parasiterna och människans immunitet efter malaria-elimineringen. För att genomföra detta vill vi etablera ett ”Malaria Elimination Center” i Vanuatus huvudstad, Port Vila. Centret blir ansvarigt för övervakning, strategier, utbildning av lokal personal, och ömsesidigt forskningssamarbete mellan Sverige, Vanuatu och Japan.

Risk communication and social mobilisation are powerful, but often overlooked tools in combating a disease outbreak. This research project aims to understand how these interventions work and how they influenced the epidemic curve, as they could be the key to dramatically alter the course of an infectious disease outbreak.Using a mix of quantitative, qualitative and quasi-experimental methods, the proposed studies will in four years assess the influence communication channels such as radio, governmental campaigns and community sources had on Ebola-specific knowledge, behaviour, risk perception and stigma. Furthermore, it will look at how risk communication affected the epidemic curve and interview journalists and stakeholders to determine what can be learned from this outbreak. An experiment in which radio journalists and an audience are asked to create and listen to stories of a hypothetical new disease outbreak, will give further insights into what kind of messages are effective.Collaborating with local and international actors in Sierra Leone and the USA, this project has the potential to gather evidence in a new combination of research fields and can produce practical recommendations for future health emergencies. This is of paramount importance so that a devastating outbreak of this magnitude will never be repeated. Ebolautbrottet i Västafrika 2014-2016 orsakade enormt mänskligt lidande och stora ekonomiska förluster i några av världens fattigaste länder: Liberia, Sierra Leone och Guinea. Sammanlagt dog 11 000 personer, men minst lika många beräknas ha dött pga av att hälso- och sjukvårdssystemet i mångt och mycket slutade att fungera. I tillägg stängde många skolor och ett stort antal barn fick under nästan ett års tid inte gå i skolan.Vad var det då som slutligen stoppade det största ebolautbrottet någonsin? Det finns flera föreslagna anledningar, bl.a. att internationell hjälp till slut började nå fram. Sannolikt var det dock beteendeförändringar hos befolkningen som var avgörande. Genom att fler började tvätta sina händer, så kallade säkra begravningar accepterades och att fler sjuka fördes till ebolacenter där de inte kunde smitta andra började antalet fall att minska. Lite är känt om hur dessa beteendeförändringar som ibland gick på tvärs mot lokala sedvänjor kom till stånd. I detta projekt vill vi studera hur budskap i lokala media och från lokala ledare påverkade människor att ändra sitt beteende. Sierra Leone var det land som drabbades allra hårdast under ebolautbrottet. Redan innan utbrottet levde mer än hälften av invånarna i extrem fattigdom, och landet hade den högsta mödradödligheten i världen. Landets hälso- och sjukvårdssystem var inte på något vis förberett på ett utbrott av den här storleken. När de första fallen dök upp i den östra delen av landet i maj 2014, misslyckades försöken att begränsa utbrottet, och snart dök de första sjukdomsfallen upp i huvudstaden Freetown, där viruset fick fäste i de fattiga slumområdena. Inom bara några veckor ökade antalet sjukdomsfall och dödsfall kraftigt över hela landet. Under den här tiden spreds samtidigt många rykten om sjukdomen, många av dem falska. Bl.a. spreds ryktet att sjukdomen var dödlig och inte gick att bota, något som avskräckte många från att söka vård, utan vårdades istället i hemmet där familjemedlemmar riskerade att smittas. Ryktesspridningen uppmärksammades tidigt av såväl frivilligorganisationer som av Ministeriet för hälsa och sanitet i Sierra Leone. Man började därför intervjua ett slumpmässigt urval av befolkningen för att ta reda på vad man visste om ebola och vilka missuppfattningar som var vanligt förekommande. Intervjuer genomfördes fyra gånger under ebolautbrottet.Med syftet att förstå hur i första hand riskkommunikation, det vill säga vilket budskap som sänds ut till allmänheten, och i andra hand social mobilisering (när människor kollektivt går samman och identifierar brister i samhället och sedan tar initiativ och agerar för förändring) påverkar kunskap och attityder kring ebola, men också hur de påverkat utbrottets gång.I det föreslagna forskningsprojektet planerar vi att använda informationen från dessa intervjuer, länka den med information kring hur sjukdomsfallen spreds samt intervjuer med lokala journalister för att ta reda på: 1) Vilken typ av media som hade störst effekt för att ändra människors kunskap och beteende om ebola; 2) Hur olika mediakampanjer och även olika initiativ till social mobilisering påverkade ökning eller minskning av antalet sjukdomsfall; 3) Vad upplevde lokala journalister att det fanns för hinder för att rapportera kring ebolautbrottet?; 4) Vilken typ av information till lokala radiojournalister leder till störst förståelse av en sjukdom under ett pågående utbrott?; 5) Har de aktörer som varit inblandade i ebolautbrottet på något vis nu ändrat sina strategier kring riskkommunikation, och hur man planerar att sända ut information vid ett nytt utbrott av en infektionssjukdom?I projektet kommer forskare från Sierra Leone att samarbeta med forskare från USA och Karolinska Institutet. Forskarna har olika tvärvetenskaplig bakgrund, från medicin, infektionssjukdomar, antropologi och media för att på bästa sätt kunna säkerställa att projektet får med alla aspekter och därmed kommer att kunna förstå hur riskkommunikation och social Sweden The Swedish Research Council The Swedish Research Council +46 8 546 44 000 vetenskapsradet@vr.se www.vr.se Box 1035, 101 38 Stockholm, Sweden Guinea Infectious disease control Basic Health Saknas No indicator available - only a description of the activity results is published SE-0-SE-29-2017-05581_1-1 Sweden Striking in one of the world’s poorest countries, Ebola caused enormous human and economic losses in Sierra Leone, during and after the outbreak in 2014-2016.

An experiment in which radio journalists and an audience are asked to create and listen to stories of a hypothetical new disease outbreak, will give further insights into what kind of messages are effective.Collaborating with local and international actors in Sierra Leone and the USA, this project has the potential to gather evidence in a new combination of research fields and can produce practical recommendations for future health emergencies. This is of paramount importance so that a devastating outbreak of this magnitude will never be repeated. Ebolautbrottet i Västafrika 2014-2016 orsakade enormt mänskligt lidande och stora ekonomiska förluster i några av världens fattigaste länder: Liberia, Sierra Leone och Guinea. Sammanlagt dog 11 000 personer, men minst lika många beräknas ha dött pga av att hälso- och sjukvårdssystemet i mångt och mycket slutade att fungera. I tillägg stängde många skolor och ett stort antal barn fick under nästan ett års tid inte gå i skolan.Vad var det då som slutligen stoppade det största ebolautbrottet någonsin? Det finns flera föreslagna anledningar, bl.a. att internationell hjälp till slut började nå fram. Sannolikt var det dock beteendeförändringar hos befolkningen som var avgörande. Genom att fler började tvätta sina händer, så kallade säkra begravningar accepterades och att fler sjuka fördes till ebolacenter där de inte kunde smitta andra började antalet fall att minska. Lite är känt om hur dessa beteendeförändringar som ibland gick på tvärs mot lokala sedvänjor kom till stånd. I detta projekt vill vi studera hur budskap i lokala media och från lokala ledare påverkade människor att ändra sitt beteende. Sierra Leone var det land som drabbades allra hårdast under ebolautbrottet. Redan innan utbrottet levde mer än hälften av invånarna i extrem fattigdom, och landet hade den högsta mödradödligheten i världen. Landets hälso- och sjukvårdssystem var inte på något vis förberett på ett utbrott av den här storleken. När de första fallen dök upp i den östra delen av landet i maj 2014, misslyckades försöken att begränsa utbrottet, och snart dök de första sjukdomsfallen upp i huvudstaden Freetown, där viruset fick fäste i de fattiga slumområdena. Inom bara några veckor ökade antalet sjukdomsfall och dödsfall kraftigt över hela landet. Under den här tiden spreds samtidigt många rykten om sjukdomen, många av dem falska. Bl.a. spreds ryktet att sjukdomen var dödlig och inte gick att bota, något som avskräckte många från att söka vård, utan vårdades istället i hemmet där familjemedlemmar riskerade att smittas. Ryktesspridningen uppmärksammades tidigt av såväl frivilligorganisationer som av Ministeriet för hälsa och sanitet i Sierra Leone. Man började därför intervjua ett slumpmässigt urval av befolkningen för att ta reda på vad man visste om ebola och vilka missuppfattningar som var vanligt förekommande. Intervjuer genomfördes fyra gånger under ebolautbrottet.Med syftet att förstå hur i första hand riskkommunikation, det vill säga vilket budskap som sänds ut till allmänheten, och i andra hand social mobilisering (när människor kollektivt går samman och identifierar brister i samhället och sedan tar initiativ och agerar för förändring) påverkar kunskap och attityder kring ebola, men också hur de påverkat utbrottets gång.I det föreslagna forskningsprojektet planerar vi att använda informationen från dessa intervjuer, länka den med information kring hur sjukdomsfallen spreds samt intervjuer med lokala journalister för att ta reda på: 1) Vilken typ av media som hade störst effekt för att ändra människors kunskap och beteende om ebola; 2) Hur olika mediakampanjer och även olika initiativ till social mobilisering påverkade ökning eller minskning av antalet sjukdomsfall; 3) Vad upplevde lokala journalister att det fanns för hinder för att rapportera kring ebolautbrottet?; 4) Vilken typ av information till lokala radiojournalister leder till störst förståelse av en sjukdom under ett pågående utbrott?; 5) Har de aktörer som varit inblandade i ebolautbrottet på något vis nu ändrat sina strategier kring riskkommunikation, och hur man planerar att sända ut information vid ett nytt utbrott av en infektionssjukdom?I projektet kommer forskare från Sierra Leone att samarbeta med forskare från USA och Karolinska Institutet.

As a first step, the research team will create an analytical framework for identifying and categorizing climate finance coordination practices. The team will then review of climate financing coordination trends and instruments. A third step will study coordination experiences in the context of four multilateral climate initiatives.  A final phase of the analysis will consist of a comparative study of climate finance coordination in Kenya and Zambia. The research team will collect evidence through semi-structured interviews and primary and secondary documents. Researchers at the University of Lund and Stockholm Environment Institute as well as researchers at the Danish Institute for International Studies and the Christian Michelsen Institute will carry out the project.  The project will contribute to an improved understanding of the factors shaping the effective use of funding of climate mitigation and adaptation in low income countries.  It will inform developing countries’ options for engaging effectively with funders and  how funders can improve the effectiveness of climate finance, thus supporting sustainable development. Sedan början av de internationella klimatförhandlingarna under 1990-talet har de rika länderna utlovat finansiellt stöd till utvecklingsländerna för klimatomställning. Under en lång period implementerades inte dessa löften och det politiska trycket från utvecklingsländerna ökade. I Köpenhamn 2009 sattes slutligen en siffra som mål för klimatfinansieringen: att de rika länderna skulle mobilisera 100 miljarder dollar per år vid år 2020, och att flödena skulle ”snabb-startas” med 30 miljarder dollar under perioden 2010-2012. Man specificerade också att denna nya klimatfinansiering skulle vara ”ny och utöver” existerade åtaganden inom det vanliga utvecklingsbiståndet.Klimatfinansiering till utvecklingsländer är viktigt av tre skäl. För det första vet vi att klimatförändringar påverkar låginkomstländer värren än högt utvecklade. Klimatförändring undergräver försörjningsmöjligheter, produktion och infrastruktur, och ökar riskerna för livsmedelsosäkerhet, konflikter och förflyttning av hushåll. Investeringar i klimatanpassningsåtgärder är alltså mycket viktigt för fattigdomsbekämpning, mänskliga rättigheter och politisk stabilitet.För det andra kan åtgärder för mer kolsnåla samhällen och energisystem leda till långsiktig tillväxt och utveckling, till exempel genom att förnybar energi kan främja både småskalig landsbygdsutveckling och storskalig industriproduktion.

No indicator available - only a description of the activity results is published SE-0-SE-29-2017-05591_1-1 Sweden This project examines why coordination problems persist in climate finance by investigating the political and organizational factors that shape climate finance coordination at the global level and in low income countries.  It analyzes the actor rationales that encourage or hinder coordination.  The project involves four phases  over a four year period. As a first step, the research team will create an analytical framework for identifying and categorizing climate finance coordination practices. The team will then review of climate financing coordination trends and instruments. A third step will study coordination experiences in the context of four multilateral climate initiatives.  A final phase of the analysis will consist of a comparative study of climate finance coordination in Kenya and Zambia. The research team will collect evidence through semi-structured interviews and primary and secondary documents. Researchers at the University of Lund and Stockholm Environment Institute as well as researchers at the Danish Institute for International Studies and the Christian Michelsen Institute will carry out the project.  The project will contribute to an improved understanding of the factors shaping the effective use of funding of climate mitigation and adaptation in low income countries.  It will inform developing countries’ options for engaging effectively with funders and  how funders can improve the effectiveness of climate finance, thus supporting sustainable development. Sedan början av de internationella klimatförhandlingarna under 1990-talet har de rika länderna utlovat finansiellt stöd till utvecklingsländerna för klimatomställning. Under en lång period implementerades inte dessa löften och det politiska trycket från utvecklingsländerna ökade. I Köpenhamn 2009 sattes slutligen en siffra som mål för klimatfinansieringen: att de rika länderna skulle mobilisera 100 miljarder dollar per år vid år 2020, och att flödena skulle ”snabb-startas” med 30 miljarder dollar under perioden 2010-2012.

För det första vet vi att klimatförändringar påverkar låginkomstländer värren än högt utvecklade. Klimatförändring undergräver försörjningsmöjligheter, produktion och infrastruktur, och ökar riskerna för livsmedelsosäkerhet, konflikter och förflyttning av hushåll. Investeringar i klimatanpassningsåtgärder är alltså mycket viktigt för fattigdomsbekämpning, mänskliga rättigheter och politisk stabilitet.För det andra kan åtgärder för mer kolsnåla samhällen och energisystem leda till långsiktig tillväxt och utveckling, till exempel genom att förnybar energi kan främja både småskalig landsbygdsutveckling och storskalig industriproduktion.

One such mosquito-borne virus with potential for global spread is O’nyong-nyong virus (ONNV), which has caused large outbreaks in Africa. The outbreaks have so far occurred in resource-limited developing countries and often been misdiagnosed as chikungunya, a closely related virus with similar symptoms. The purpose of the proposed project is to characterize ONNV regarding mosquito vectors, tropism, potential animal reservoirs, prevalence, incidence, and distribution. For this we will develop specific diagnostic assays for ONNV IgG and IgM antibody detection and to apply those for determining the prevalence and distribution of infection in humans and animals in a region of Kenya where ONNV is suspected to occur. Concomitantly we will study the incidence of O’nyong-nyong fever in patients with clinical acute symptoms, which indicates an ONNV infection, using detection of viral RNA by RT-PCR and IgM antibodies. We will study ONNV’s mosquito vector by sampling mosquitoes to characterize which vectors harbor ONNV. Further, we will experimentally investigate ONNV tropism and competence in different mosquito species, to better understand if ONNV have the potential to use other mosquito vectors and gain the potential to spread beyond known endemic regions. Ett myggburet virus med potential för global spridning är O´nyong-Nyong virus (ONNV). Det har orsakat stora utbrott under 1900-talet, men dessa utbrott har hittills skett i utvecklingsländer. Denna händelseutveckling liknar andra myggburna virus som världen nyligen drabbats av. Zikavirus och chikungunyavirus har sedan länge orsakat sjukdom i Afrika och Sydostasien, men brist på resurser i utvecklingsländer och ointresse från övriga världen gjorde att forskning och utveckling av motåtgärder i stort sett saknades. Dessa virus anpassade sig till myggvektorer och spreds över världen och orsakade stora allvarliga utbrott.  ONNV orsakar O’nyong-nyong feber och både symptomen och viruset liknar chikungunyavirus och ger feber med svåra och långdragna ledbesvär. Än så länge saknas specifik diagnostik för ONNV, så patienter feldiagnosticeras och sjukdomens korrekta utbredning och dess påverkan på folkhälsan respektive sjukvården förblir okänd. Det finns inget vaccin eller specifik terapi för behandling av ONNV. För att förstå sjukdomen och kunna motverka vidare smittspridning behövs mera grundläggande kunskaper om vilka myggarter som kan smittas med ONNV och hur det sprids vidare.Man antar att ONNV kan spridas med s.k. Anophelesmyggor, samma myggart som sprider malaria, vilket är ovanligt för virus.  Vi kommer att undersöka vilka myggor som kan bära och sprida ONNV genom att samla in myggor från ett område i Kenya vid Viktoriasjön, där ONNV tidigare har orsakat utbrott. Myggorna kommer att artbestämmas och viruset arvsmassa, ONNV RNA, kan påvisas i myggor med s.k. PCR metodik. Genom att undersöka om ONNV kan använda andra myggor som vektorer, kan vi bedöma risken för att viruset skulle kunna orsaka stora globala epidemier. Experiment kommer att genomföras då vi kommer att infektera olika myggarter med ONNV i laboratoriet och undersöka om detta virus kan växa i de olika myggarterna. Vissa studier har indikerat att ONNV kan använda sig av Aedesmyggor, som redan sprider Zika-, chikungunya- och denguevirus och om så är fallet finns potentialen för ONNV att orsaka stor global spridning.  Eftersom diagnostiken för ONNV inte alls är utvecklad så vet man inte idag hur vanlig ONNV är i Afrika. Vi kommer därför att utveckla specifika diagnostiska analyser för ONNV såsom antikroppsdetektering och använda den för att bestämma förekomst och spridning av infektioner orsakade av ONNV hos människor och djur kring Viktoriasjön i Kenya. Samtidigt kommer vi att studera förekomsten av O´nyong-nyong feber hos patienter med akuta kliniska symtom som indikerar på ONNV infektion. Här använder vi oss av detektion av viralt RNA genom PCR-metodik samt påvisande av IgM-antikroppar med vår nya specifikt utvecklade diagnostik. Myggburna virus har ofta en eller flera värddjur-reservoarer vilket har stor betydelse för att virus ska kunna cirkulera under längre tid och även för spridning till myggor och senare människor. För närvarande känner vi inte till vilken eventuell reservoar som ONNV har.  Det kommer vi att undersöka genom att analysera blodprover från fåglar, apor, gnagare och fladdermöss i samma område i Kenya där ONNV antas förekomma. Vi tror att vårt projekt kommer att spela en central roll när det gäller att förstå hur och var ONNV förekommer och sprids. Kunskaper som kan leda till förebyggande åtgärder i Kenya inom en snar framtid. Vårt projekt kommer inte bara att hjälpa till att förbättra diagnostiken, men också hjälpa till med att bestämma den verkliga orsaken till oförklarliga febersjukdomar som förblir odiagnostiserade. Dessutom kommer de prov som erhålls vara en biobank av prover (humana, mygg, apor, fågel, gnagare, fladdermöss) från Kenya som senare kan analyseras för andra smittämnen.

One such mosquito-borne virus with potential for global spread is O’nyong-nyong virus (ONNV), which has caused large outbreaks in Africa. The outbreaks have so far occurred in resource-limited developing countries and often been misdiagnosed as chikungunya, a closely related virus with similar symptoms. The purpose of the proposed project is to characterize ONNV regarding mosquito vectors, tropism, potential animal reservoirs, prevalence, incidence, and distribution. For this we will develop specific diagnostic assays for ONNV IgG and IgM antibody detection and to apply those for determining the prevalence and distribution of infection in humans and animals in a region of Kenya where ONNV is suspected to occur. Concomitantly we will study the incidence of O’nyong-nyong fever in patients with clinical acute symptoms, which indicates an ONNV infection, using detection of viral RNA by RT-PCR and IgM antibodies. We will study ONNV’s mosquito vector by sampling mosquitoes to characterize which vectors harbor ONNV. Further, we will experimentally investigate ONNV tropism and competence in different mosquito species, to better understand if ONNV have the potential to use other mosquito vectors and gain the potential to spread beyond known endemic regions. Ett myggburet virus med potential för global spridning är O´nyong-Nyong virus (ONNV). Det har orsakat stora utbrott under 1900-talet, men dessa utbrott har hittills skett i utvecklingsländer. Denna händelseutveckling liknar andra myggburna virus som världen nyligen drabbats av. Zikavirus och chikungunyavirus har sedan länge orsakat sjukdom i Afrika och Sydostasien, men brist på resurser i utvecklingsländer och ointresse från övriga världen gjorde att forskning och utveckling av motåtgärder i stort sett saknades. Dessa virus anpassade sig till myggvektorer och spreds över världen och orsakade stora allvarliga utbrott.  ONNV orsakar O’nyong-nyong feber och både symptomen och viruset liknar chikungunyavirus och ger feber med svåra och långdragna ledbesvär. Än så länge saknas specifik diagnostik för ONNV, så patienter feldiagnosticeras och sjukdomens korrekta utbredning och dess påverkan på folkhälsan respektive sjukvården förblir okänd. Det finns inget vaccin eller specifik terapi för behandling av ONNV. För att förstå sjukdomen och kunna motverka vidare smittspridning behövs mera grundläggande kunskaper om vilka myggarter som kan smittas med ONNV och hur det sprids vidare.Man antar att ONNV kan spridas med s.k. Anophelesmyggor, samma myggart som sprider malaria, vilket är ovanligt för virus.  Vi kommer att undersöka vilka myggor som kan bära och sprida ONNV genom att samla in myggor från ett område i Kenya vid Viktoriasjön, där ONNV tidigare har orsakat utbrott. Myggorna kommer att artbestämmas och viruset arvsmassa, ONNV RNA, kan påvisas i myggor med s.k. PCR metodik. Genom att undersöka om ONNV kan använda andra myggor som vektorer, kan vi bedöma risken för att viruset skulle kunna orsaka stora globala epidemier. Experiment kommer att genomföras då vi kommer att infektera olika myggarter med ONNV i laboratoriet och undersöka om detta virus kan växa i de olika myggarterna. Vissa studier har indikerat att ONNV kan använda sig av Aedesmyggor, som redan sprider Zika-, chikungunya- och denguevirus och om så är fallet finns potentialen för ONNV att orsaka stor global spridning.  Eftersom diagnostiken för ONNV inte alls är utvecklad så vet man inte idag hur vanlig ONNV är i Afrika. Vi kommer därför att utveckla specifika diagnostiska analyser för ONNV såsom antikroppsdetektering och använda den för att bestämma förekomst och spridning av infektioner orsakade av ONNV hos människor och djur kring Viktoriasjön i Kenya. Samtidigt kommer vi att studera förekomsten av O´nyong-nyong feber hos patienter med akuta kliniska symtom som indikerar på ONNV infektion. Här använder vi oss av detektion av viralt RNA genom PCR-metodik samt påvisande av IgM-antikroppar med vår nya specifikt utvecklade diagnostik. Myggburna virus har ofta en eller flera värddjur-reservoarer vilket har stor betydelse för att virus ska kunna cirkulera under längre tid och även för spridning till myggor och senare människor. För närvarande känner vi inte till vilken eventuell reservoar som ONNV har.  Det kommer vi att undersöka genom att analysera blodprover från fåglar, apor, gnagare och fladdermöss i samma område i Kenya där ONNV antas förekomma. Vi tror att vårt projekt kommer att spela en central roll när det gäller att förstå hur och var ONNV förekommer och sprids. Kunskaper som kan leda till förebyggande åtgärder i Kenya inom en snar framtid. Vårt projekt kommer inte bara att hjälpa till att förbättra diagnostiken, men också hjälpa till med att bestämma den verkliga orsaken till oförklarliga febersjukdomar som förblir odiagnostiserade.

En tredjedel av världens befolkning är infekterad med Mycobacterium tuberculosis, vilket orsakar 1,8 miljoner dödsfall årligen i lungsjukdomen tuberkulos (TB). Något effektivt vaccin finns inte. Behandling av tuberkulos är besvärlig, innebär en kombination av flera läkemedel i minst 6 månader och har lett till en alarmerande andel av läkemedelsresistenta tuberkelbakterier. Risken att utveckla aktiv tuberkulos ökar genom saminfektion med HIV samt mask. Saminfektion med mask, minskar vårt immunologiska skydd mot TB genom att trycka ned bakterieavdödande funktioner i makrofager (den primära värdcellen för tuberkelbakterier). Våra resultat tyder på att den försämrade kontrollen av tuberkelbakterier beror på en bristande kväveoxidproduktion i lungans makrofager. Maskinfektion minskar också det proinflammatoriska svaret i makrofagerna, gör dem mer antiinflammatoriska och minskar deras förmåga att reglera oxidativ stress. Det faktum att några av de viktigaste läkemedlen mot TB endast har full effekt i samband med aktiva värdcellsmekanismer i makrofager, gör det önskvärt att aktivera och stärka dessa celler. Om immunsvaret hos infekterade individer stärks, kan vi uppnå en synergistisk effekt som påskyndar behandling och minskar risken för läkemedelsresistens som är ett växande hot.Vi föreslår därför tilläggsbehandlingar som aktiverar makrofager och kan fungera tillsammans med befintliga anti-TB kemoterapeutiska läkemedel för att på så sätt effektivisera rådande behandling. Tilläggsbehandlingen innebär i detta fall en kombination av naturliga glutation- och L-arginingenerande substanser som tillsammans ”räddar” makrofager från det mask-inducerade hämmade tillståndet och därigenom leder till en ökad kontroll av tuberkelbakterierna. Forskningen består dels av mekanistiska studier för att förstå värdcellsvaret och kliniska studier i Etiopien där det immunologiska svaret hos mask/TB saminfekterade patienter studeras innan och efter avmaskning så att immuncellstatus och makrofagaktivering kan följas under de olika faserna av behandlingen.Detta är ett translationellt globalhälsorelaterat forskningsprojekt som länkar samman infektionsimmunologi från kliniska studier med grundläggande forskning för att hitta terapeutiska lösningar som påskyndar behandling av TB och skyddar dem i riskzonen för att utveckla aktiv sjukdom.

Forskningen består dels av mekanistiska studier för att förstå värdcellsvaret och kliniska studier i Etiopien där det immunologiska svaret hos mask/TB saminfekterade patienter studeras innan och efter avmaskning så att immuncellstatus och makrofagaktivering kan följas under de olika faserna av behandlingen.Detta är ett translationellt globalhälsorelaterat forskningsprojekt som länkar samman infektionsimmunologi från kliniska studier med grundläggande forskning för att hitta terapeutiska lösningar som påskyndar behandling av TB och skyddar dem i riskzonen för att utveckla aktiv sjukdom. TB är smittsamt och associerat med en avsevärd dödlighet i utsatta befolkningsgrupper i fattiga områden i världen. Avmaskning är en relativt enkel och billig åtgärd i fattiga områden där maskinfektion och TB är mycket utbrett. Om avmaskning visas gynnsamt kan detta utföras storskaligt för att förhindra TB i högendemiska områden samt för att förbättra den allmänna hälsostatusen eftersom maskinfektion har korrelerats till ett försämrat allmäntillstånd hos skolbarn.

Climate change predictions suggest high production areas (Ghana and Cote d’Ivoire) will become less suitable for cocoa cultivation in the future, whilst low-income, low-production areas (Togo and Sierra Leone) will benefit from better growing conditions. However, these countries are not yet ready to sustainably increase production, since climate change is also likely to significantly increase disease pressure. The major constraints to cocoa production in the area are viral (cocoa swollen shoot virus) and oomycete (cocoa black pod) diseases causing losses of up to 5 billion USD annually. We aim to develop new tools to revive Western African cocoa production through better disease detection and monitoring, better farmer education and new strategies for resistance breeding and disease control. In partnership with the IITA (Nigeria) and West African National Cocoa Research Programmes, we will train two new PhD students in high-throughput phenotyping and remote sensing for disease assessment in Togo and Sierra Leone. RNAseq of infected cocoa will identify effectors (pathogenicity determinants produced by the pathogens) and resistance or susceptibility genes within host germplasm. As well as guiding the deployment of more durable control measures, this data will also make important contributions in the field of molecular plant pathology. Kakao (Theobroma cacao L.) är en viktig avsalugröda i de tropiska delarna av västra Afrika, där den odlas av ungefär 4-5 miljoner småskaliga odlare. En överväldigande majoritet av världens kakao odlas i Afrika, som producerar 2,7 miljoner ton (68 % av världsproduktionen). Kakao odlas framför allt i Väst- och Centralafrika. Den största producenten är Elfenbenskusten som står för 31 % av världsproduktionen. Andra viktiga producenter i Västafrika är Ghana, Nigeria, Kamerun, Sierra Leone och Togo. De tre främsta producenterna, Elfenbenskusten, Ghana och Nigeria står tillsammans för 98,5 % av kakaoproduktionen i Västafrika, medan Togo, Sierra Leone och Liberia står för 1,5 % av produktionen.Enligt prognoser om framtida klimatförändringar kommer de områden som för närvarande producerar mest kakao (Ghana och Elfenbenskusten) att bli mindre lämpliga för kakaoodling i framtiden, medan områden med låg inkomst och låg kakaoproduktion (Togo och Sierra Leone) kommer att få bättre odlingsbetingelser. Emellertid är dessa länder ännu inte redo för att öka sin produktion på ett hållbart sätt, eftersom klimatförändringarna antagligen även kommer att öka sjukdomstrycket. Därför skulle insatser i dessa länder ha stor effekt på kakaoproduktionen i framtiden, vilket dessutom skulle bidra till minskad fattigdom i två av Västafrikas fattigaste länder. Dessa länder har hittills inte fått något stöd från ”World Cocoa Foundation” eller andra internationella organ som stöder kakaoproduktion. De är därför i desperat behov av utländska investeringar för att kunna återuppliva sin kakaoproduktion.Det finns många anledningar till att kakaosektorn har dålig konkurrenskraft i dessa tre länder, men låg produktion till följd av skadegörare och sjukdomar är en mycket viktig faktor. De så kallade ”Cocoa black pod disease” och ”Cocoa Swollen Shoot Virus” är de viktigaste begränsande faktorerna för både kakaoproduktion och –kvalité. Detta projekt inriktar sig på dessa sjukdomar i Togo och Sierra Leone, som ett steg i att återuppliva kakaoproduktionen där.För att kunna bekämpa sjukdomen på ett tillfredsställande sätt behöver vi först förstå hur och när den bryter ut, och bestämma vilka sjukdomsalstrande organismer som orsakar den. I Västafrika finns det två närbesläktade algsvampar som kan orsaka ”cocoa black pod disease”, Phytophthora palmivora and Phytophthora megakarya. Av dessa två är P. megakarya den mest destruktiva. Eftersom den mesta kakaon odlas utanför städerna av småskaliga odlare som för det mesta inte kan diagnosticera eller behandla sjukdomen, så finns det ganska lite statistik om vilka arter som orsakar sjukdomen och hur allvarliga angreppen är.För att bygga upp forskningsförmågan i Sierra Leone och Togo så tänker vi utbilda en doktorand i varje land, så att de får lära sig att undersöka kakaoodlingar i stor skala och identifiera sjukdomar med hjälp av drönare. Dessutom vill vi utbilda dem i diagnostik, epidemiologi och bekämpning av kakaosjukdomar. I kombination med modern infrastruktur för molekylär analys kommer den kunskapen att göra det möjligt för forskare i dessa två länder att bedriva forskning av hög kvalitet, och ge värdefull hjälp till kakaoodlarna. Forskningen kommer att utföras tillsammans med International Institute of Tropical Research (IITA) i Ibadan i Nigeria och de västafrikanska nationella kakaoprogrammen.För att identifiera faktorer som påverkar smittsamheten hos de sjukdomsalstrande organismerna och identifiera resistensfaktorer hos kakaoplantan kommer vi även att DNA-sekvensera infekterade kakaoplantor. Resultatet av de experimenten kommer att hjälpa oss att hitta nya hållbara metoder för att bekämpa kakaosjukdomar.Genom att förbättra detektion och bekämpning av kakaosjukdomar kommer vi att bidra till en ökning av kakaoproduktionen och en förbättring av kakaokvaliteten i låginkomstländer i Västafrika. Detta kommer att bidra till minskad fattigdom, och en ökade inkomster, sysselsättning och handelsutbyte i Togo och Sierra Leone.

However given the current lack of transport infrastructure and electricity they cannot be preserved and will perish. The overall purpose of this project is to develop and implement a low cost, and robust solar fruit preservation technology that can enhance local food and economic security without depending on the co-development of infrastructure. In the first part of this project, prototype pouches of breathable material have been developed and demonstrated how to concentrate fruit juice using only solar energy. The pouches allows water to evaporate, but protects the juice from contamination by microorganisms and insects. During evaporation the sugar concentration will increase and as most fruits have low pH it becomes storage stable (i.e. halts microbial growth) and can be stored in the household for the lean season, or sold to earn cash. Finally, specific strains of Lactobacillus can be used to improve the taste, and other strains can improve digestion or destruct undesirable substances as phytates, tannins, and polyphenols.  Methods: -Optimize design with respect to drying rate, heat and mass transfer at varying atmospheric and solar conditions. -Verify the Solar Assisted Pervaporation technique under realistic conditions, product quality, and ease of use for farmers.  This technology could also be used in developed countries for other fruits. Är det rimligt att många går hungriga trots att det odlas mat i tillräcklig mängd i flera utvecklingsländer? Detta projekt går ut på att undersöka och utveckla en teknisk lösning som på ett hållbart sätt kan förbättra matframställningen i utvecklingsländer.I många utvecklingsländer, produceras det egentligen tillräckligt med mat för att täcka behovet för hela befolkningen ändå finns det människor som är hungriga. Mängden skämd mat i världen ökar och Livsmedels- och jordbruksorganisationer och FN uppskattar att en tredjedel av den mat som produceras aldrig når våra kök utan i stället förvinner längs matkedjan. Detta är en otrolig mängd mat! En anledning till att studera frukter är att de mognar under kort period och ofta kräver varsam hantering. I många utvecklingsländer, särskilt avlägsna områden saknas både el och konserveringsutrustning samt infrastruktur för att transportera mogen frukt till städer och marknader. På detta sätt går mycket frukt till spillo även om de lokala personerna förtär frukterna genom hela mogningsperioden så finns det frukt kvar sedan befolkningstätheten är så låg i dessa områden. Ibland kan det finnas utomhus soltorkning men då svårt att undvika regn, smuts, insekter, bakterier, svamptillväxt och djur som kan kontaminera produkten när den torkas.Detta projekt bygger på forskning om separationstekniker vid inst. livsmedelsteknik, LTH och i detta fall koncentrering av frukt- eller grönsakssafter eller puréer med hjälp av ett membrantyg som släpper igenom vattenånga men hindrar bakterier och insekter att komma in. Membrantyget svetsas samman till en påse. Fruktsaften eller purén som skall torkas fylls i påsen och försluts med en enkel klämma. Den fyllda påsen kan läggas eller hängas i solen och kommer efter 4 till 6 dagar ha torkat bort ca 80 % av vattnet och samtidigt nå en sockerkoncentration som bevarar slutprodukten och hindrar på så sätt eventuella mikroorganismer att växa till. Parallellt med utvecklingen av membranpåsen för att ta torka frukter och juicer samarbetar projektet med institutionen för Energi och Byggnads system, LTH och som har mångårig forskning om solfångarteknik.  Projektgruppen består av disputerade forskare med bakgrund från livsmedelsteknik, solenergiteknik, och samhällsvetenskap och doktorand vid institutionen Livsmedelsteknik.

However given the current lack of transport infrastructure and electricity they cannot be preserved and will perish. The overall purpose of this project is to develop and implement a low cost, and robust solar fruit preservation technology that can enhance local food and economic security without depending on the co-development of infrastructure. In the first part of this project, prototype pouches of breathable material have been developed and demonstrated how to concentrate fruit juice using only solar energy. The pouches allows water to evaporate, but protects the juice from contamination by microorganisms and insects. During evaporation the sugar concentration will increase and as most fruits have low pH it becomes storage stable (i.e. halts microbial growth) and can be stored in the household for the lean season, or sold to earn cash. Finally, specific strains of Lactobacillus can be used to improve the taste, and other strains can improve digestion or destruct undesirable substances as phytates, tannins, and polyphenols.  Methods: -Optimize design with respect to drying rate, heat and mass transfer at varying atmospheric and solar conditions. -Verify the Solar Assisted Pervaporation technique under realistic conditions, product quality, and ease of use for farmers.  This technology could also be used in developed countries for other fruits. Är det rimligt att många går hungriga trots att det odlas mat i tillräcklig mängd i flera utvecklingsländer? Detta projekt går ut på att undersöka och utveckla en teknisk lösning som på ett hållbart sätt kan förbättra matframställningen i utvecklingsländer.I många utvecklingsländer, produceras det egentligen tillräckligt med mat för att täcka behovet för hela befolkningen ändå finns det människor som är hungriga. Mängden skämd mat i världen ökar och Livsmedels- och jordbruksorganisationer och FN uppskattar att en tredjedel av den mat som produceras aldrig når våra kök utan i stället förvinner längs matkedjan. Detta är en otrolig mängd mat! En anledning till att studera frukter är att de mognar under kort period och ofta kräver varsam hantering. I många utvecklingsländer, särskilt avlägsna områden saknas både el och konserveringsutrustning samt infrastruktur för att transportera mogen frukt till städer och marknader. På detta sätt går mycket frukt till spillo även om de lokala personerna förtär frukterna genom hela mogningsperioden så finns det frukt kvar sedan befolkningstätheten är så låg i dessa områden. Ibland kan det finnas utomhus soltorkning men då svårt att undvika regn, smuts, insekter, bakterier, svamptillväxt och djur som kan kontaminera produkten när den torkas.Detta projekt bygger på forskning om separationstekniker vid inst. livsmedelsteknik, LTH och i detta fall koncentrering av frukt- eller grönsakssafter eller puréer med hjälp av ett membrantyg som släpper igenom vattenånga men hindrar bakterier och insekter att komma in. Membrantyget svetsas samman till en påse. Fruktsaften eller purén som skall torkas fylls i påsen och försluts med en enkel klämma. Den fyllda påsen kan läggas eller hängas i solen och kommer efter 4 till 6 dagar ha torkat bort ca 80 % av vattnet och samtidigt nå en sockerkoncentration som bevarar slutprodukten och hindrar på så sätt eventuella mikroorganismer att växa till. Parallellt med utvecklingen av membranpåsen för att ta torka frukter och juicer samarbetar projektet med institutionen för Energi och Byggnads system, LTH och som har mångårig forskning om solfångarteknik.  Projektgruppen består av disputerade forskare med bakgrund från livsmedelsteknik, solenergiteknik, och samhällsvetenskap och doktorand vid institutionen Livsmedelsteknik.

There is a growing body of research on gender aspects of social media on the one hand and on cyber repression from governments on the other hand. This project puts the two together in order to analyze whether social media is a blessing or a curse for women striving for political office in contentious elections. We investigate this question through a case study of the 2018 Cambodian elections. Cambodia is a repressive state that recently has experienced an ICT-boom, and Facebook has become the by far biggest social media platform in the country. We examine, on the one hand, to what extent and how Facebook is used as a repressive tool against individual women candidates – by the regime or by (groups of) individuals – including whether oppositional women are targeted to a larger extent than regime candidates. On the other hand, we investigate whether Facebook (also) can function as a campaign facilitator for candidates. To capture these aspects we systematically compare the experiences of female and male candidates from both the governing party and the opposition parties. Both quantitative and qualitative text analyses of public Facebook pages of individual candidates are employed as well as semi-structured interviews with a strategic selection of candidates. The project involves two Associate Professors, one Post doc and a PhD student and it spans over three years. Sociala medier, såsom Facebook, Twitter och Instagram, har på ett genomgripande sätt förändrat samhälleliga arenor för offentlig diskussion genom att bidra med helt nya möjligheter för politisk mobilisering och opinionsbildning. Speciellt har dessa nya arenor för politisk aktivism möjliggjort för individer och grupper att komma samman, utveckla idéer och föra fram politiska krav till en mycket lägre kostnad än tidigare, både resursmässigt och socialt. Dock erbjuder social medier också nya verktyg för att tysta och skrämma dem som anses som politiskt obekväma.Detta tudelade sätt varpå sociala medier kan användas för att både främja och kontrollera politisk mobilisering och opinionsbildning kan ses som speciellt intressant i repressiva stater, där den politiska oppositionen vanligtvis förtrycks samtidigt som vissa grupper, såsom kvinnor, kan ha svårt att komma samman utanför den privata sfären. Här erbjuder sociala medier dels en möjlighet för oppositionella och andra marginaliserade grupper (så som kvinnor) att organisera sig på ett mindre resurskrävande sätt, dels ger de nya verktyg både för repressiva regimer som har i sitt intresse att övervaka, kontrollera och skrämma medborgarna och oppositionella samt för enskilda individer att trakassera de kandidater som upplevs som normbrytande eller på andra sätt besvärliga.Detta projekt syftar till att undersöka hur sociala medier verkar möjliggörande och hindrande för politiska kandidater i repressiva stater, med specifikt fokus på vilka könade konsekvenser detta kan få. Studien bygger vidare på tidigare forskning som visat på att sociala medier har erbjudit repressiva regimer ett nytt och effektivt verktyg för att tysta och skrämma oppositionspolitiker, men också hur tidigare forskning visat på hur kvinnor i repressiva stater använt sig av sociala medier för effektiv mobilisering av frågor som tidigare setts tillhöra den privata sfären. I vilken grad denna repression drabbar kvinnor och män olika, om det i högre utsträckning drabbar (kvinnliga) oppositionella kandidater än regimvänliga (kvinnor), kommer att undersökas med hjälp av en fallstudie av nästkommande nationella val i Kambodja, vilket äger rum i juni 2018. Kambodja är ett land som alltsedan det första nationella valet 1993 har varit särskilt drabbat av valrelaterat våld, och färska studier har också visat på att en stor del av detta valrelaterade våld sker genom sociala medier. Samtidigt vet vi från tidigare studier att idén om vem som anses vara en passande politisk kandidat i Kambodja är starkt könad, och att kvinnor har svårt att passa in i den normen.Den sociala medie-plattform som vi genomgående i projektet fokuserar på är Facebook, eftersom det är den absolut vanligaste sociala medie-plattformen i Kambodja. I studien kommer en kombination av kvantitativa och kvalitativa metoder att användas för att undersöka om och hur Facebook har använts av både individer och regimen i Kambodja för att motverka och hindra kvinnor och oppositionella från att delta i politiken, men håller också öppet för att sociala medier på olika sätt kan verka möjliggörande för desamma. Genom att studera både kvinnliga och manliga kandidaters Facebook-sidor i anslutning till och under det Kambodjanska valet, samt även genomföra semi-strukturerade intervjuer med ett urval av kandidater, vill studien utröna i vilken utsträckning och på vilket sätt denna typ av valrelaterad repression drabbar kvinnor och män olika, och dessutom, om det i högre utsträckning drabbar (kvinnliga) oppositionella kandidater än regimvänliga (kvinnor). Syftet med fallstudien är att på ett djupare plan förstå hur och i vilken utsträckning repressiva regimer kan kringskära kvinnors politiska deltagande, och hur sociala medier kan möjliggöra eller hindra framgångsrikt kampanjande.

Unfortunately these fisheries are severely threatened by overfishing and climate change effects, calling for better management. But solutions can be hard to find when they depend on social and ecological context. In this project we aim to increase our understanding about behavioral strategies adopted by SSF in different types of contexts for dealing with future climate challenges. To this end we will combine social and ecological background data with behavioral laboratory (lab) and field experiments. Our lab experiments will conducted at Stockholm University and will mainly serve as testbeds. The field experiments will be similar in design but conducted with fishers in SSF communities in Colombia and Thailand whose average income falls within the range of the average income of the least developed countries. We will visit at least two communities in each country that differ in some contextual variable (e.g., resource dependency) but that in other respects are similar. With the help of interviews and surveys we will also elicit individual attributes and socio-economic characteristics that may influence behavior. At the end we will synthesize the insights gained with the intent to aid local fishery communities and governments to identify and nurture strategies that allow fishers in these communities to make a good livelihood without jeopardizing future resource stocks. Småskaligt fiske är centralt för fattigdomsbekämpning. För miljontals människor i låginkomstländer ger det inte bara en tryggad livsmedelsförsörjning, det är också en garant för proteinrik föda. Många av dessa fiskesamhällen är tyvärr allvarligt hotade av både överfiske och klimatförändringar (vilket exempelvis kommer leda till en ökad variation och osäkerhet i fiskebeståndet). Dessa utmaningar kräver en god förvaltning men lösningar kan vara svårt att identifiera, särskilt när utformningen av desamma med stor sannolikhet beror på sociala, ekologiska och/eller historiska sammanhang.Mot bakgrund av detta vill vi kartlägga och öka vår förståelse kring de beteendestrategier (individuella och kollektiva) som dessa småskaliga fiskare använder och kan tänkas använda för att hantera framtida klimatutmaningar och hur de kan variera beroende på sammanhang. Vi kommer att förlita oss på flera metoder. Vi kommer kombinera social och ekologisk bakgrundsdata med laboratorie- (lab) och fältexperiment. Dessa kommer i sin tur att kompletteras med intervjuer och enkäter. Att förlita sig på olika typer av metoder och experiment med olika typer av deltagare kan vara värdefullt eftersom olika typer av deltagare innehar olika typer av kunskaper och erfarenheter som kan påverka beteenden och därmed kan vi öka vår kunskap om vilka faktorer om i slutändan är betydelsefulla.Våra lab-experiment kommer att genomföras på Stockholms Universitet med studenter, men med en verklig problem- och naturresursbeskrivning.

Även om dessa två länder inte tillhör kategorin för de allra minst utvecklade länderna faller medelinkomsten i de samhällen vi planerar att besöka inom den kategorin. Vi menar därför att dessa fiskesamhällen är representativa även för liknande samhällen i länder med lägre genomsnittlig medelinkomst.

Detta gör det möjligt för oss att systematiskt undersöka betydelsen av kontextuella variabler. Vi kommer också att komplettera fältexperimenten med intervjuer för att samla in data på såväl individuella attribut (t.ex. sociala preferenser och preferenser gentemot risk och osäkerhet) som socio-ekonomiska bakgrundsfakta (t ex kön, ålder, hushållsinkomst, hushållets storlek, sparbeteende, etc.) som kan tänkas påverka deras individuella och kollektiva beteenden. Vi planerar även för ett uppföljningsmöte i varje samhälle där vi tillsammans med deltagarna planerar att reflektera över experimentet i sig och om kring möjliga insikter de har fått från att delta i experimentet, som kan vara relevant för såväl deras egna beslut (dagliga och mera långsiktiga) som ur ett policy perspektiv.Mot slutet av projektet kommer vi att syntetisera våra insikter när det gäller individuella och kollektiva beteenden och strategier som används och kan användas av dessa småskaliga fiskare för att hantera en ökad resursknapphet och oförutsägbarhet av fiskebestånd.

This is broadly viewed as a central reason why the region has not embarked on a path of sustained economic growth and why mass poverty is still widespread. But why agricultural productivity has remained stagnant remains a mystery. There is strong agreement among agricultural experts that modern technologies, including fertilizers and hybrid seeds, would radically improve productivity. Still, adoption of such inputs is strikingly low. The purpose here is to experimentally examine whether farmers’ productivity and willingness to adopt modern technologies will significantly increase if they become meaningfully integrated into the value chain and thus able to access both functioning input and output markets. Lack of market access has been highlighted as crucial constraints to technology adoption and productivity growth in Africa, but rigorous empirical research on the topic is missing.The field work amounts to actual integration of farmers into a market based supply chain. By so doing, farmers will access markets where high quality inputs can be bought and where their produce can be sold at market prices. The experimental design will allow us to estimate the causal impact of market access on productivity and technology adoption, but will also allow us to assess other hypotheses, such as lack of credit and insufficient agricultural knowledge. Den låga och stagnerande produktiviteten i jordbruket i Afrika söder om Sahara har identifierats som en central förklaringsfaktor till regionens långsiktigt svaga ekonomiska utveckling och varför fattigdomen fortfarande är så pass utbredd. Men varför jordbruket i Afrika har haft en så svag produktivitetsutveckling är, trots omfattande forskning, fortfarande ett mysterium. Bland jordbruksexperter finns en stark samsyn att systematisk användning av moderna insatsvaror, så som konstgödsel och hybridutsäde, radikalt kan höja produktiviteten inom jordbruket, men få småbönder i Afrika använder dessa förhållandevis enkla jordbruksteknologier, trots hög förväntad avkastning. Syftet men detta forskningsprojekt är att undersöka en lovande hypotes om teknologiadoption som, om hypotesen stämmer, skulle ha stor praktisk betydelse för utformandet av en effektiv utvecklingspolitik på nationell och internationell nivå.Hypotesen är att småjordbrukares incitament att använda moderna, men enkla, teknologier dramatiskt skulle öka om de hade tillgång till effektiva marknader där de kan sälja det de producera och köpa de insatsvaror de behöver. Avsaknad av välfungerande marknader har av många nämnts som en central förklaringsfaktor för bristen på teknologiadoption men rigorös empirisk forskning i ämnet saknas.I praktiken syftar forskningsprojektet på att studera småbönder som integreras i en marknadsbaserad supply-chain. Denna integrering, i sin tur, ger småbönderna tillgång till marknader för insatsvaror av hög kvalitet och till marknader där de kan sälja det de producerar till marknadspriser.Att experimentellt förändra marknadsstrukturen för småbönder kräver storskalig implementering. Således kommer hushåll boende i 50 byar att följas under en treårsperiod och data på deras val av insatsvaror, produktivitet, och inkomster kommer att samlas in. I 30 av dessa byar, slumpmässigt utvalda, kommer en ny marknadsaktör (en social entreprenör) att etablera sig. Denna aktör kommer att vara villig att köpa majs av god kvalitet till marknadspriser betydligt högre än de priser småbönder erbjuds från lokala köpmän men också ge jordbrukarna tillgång till högkvalitativa insatsvaror och kunskap om hur man bäst använder dessa insatsvaror. Designen av det randomiserade experimentet kommer göra det möjligt att kausalt mäta sambandet mellan marknadstillgång och produktivitet och teknologiadoption, men även göra det möjligt att studera effekterna av lättnader i kreditrestriktioner och förbättrad kunskap om best-practice inom jordbruket.

No indicator available - only a description of the activity results is published SE-0-SE-29-2017-05665-1 Sweden Over the last half century, agriculture in Sub-Saharan Africa has failed to experience any significant productivity improvements. This is broadly viewed as a central reason why the region has not embarked on a path of sustained economic growth and why mass poverty is still widespread. But why agricultural productivity has remained stagnant remains a mystery. There is strong agreement among agricultural experts that modern technologies, including fertilizers and hybrid seeds, would radically improve productivity. Still, adoption of such inputs is strikingly low. The purpose here is to experimentally examine whether farmers’ productivity and willingness to adopt modern technologies will significantly increase if they become meaningfully integrated into the value chain and thus able to access both functioning input and output markets. Lack of market access has been highlighted as crucial constraints to technology adoption and productivity growth in Africa, but rigorous empirical research on the topic is missing.The field work amounts to actual integration of farmers into a market based supply chain. By so doing, farmers will access markets where high quality inputs can be bought and where their produce can be sold at market prices. The experimental design will allow us to estimate the causal impact of market access on productivity and technology adoption, but will also allow us to assess other hypotheses, such as lack of credit and insufficient agricultural knowledge.

This project will merge new aid data identifying where and when aid programs took place along with geographically located outcome data to investigate the effectiveness of aid. The project contains three subsections: 1) We will use location specific aid data to evaluate whether sub-national aid allocations are optimal from a poverty reduction perspective. This will highlight which donors and aid types reach the poorest segment of the population within recipient countries. 2) We will use the same data to study the effectiveness of aid projects by aid type, donor and sub-national locality, with a focus on aid promoting health, education and institution building (both formal and informal). As such, this section will identify what aid programs work, where and when, generating policy recommendations for future aid projects. 3) We will evaluate the unintended impacts of aid programmes on behavior and living conditions using both location specific aid data and detailed field studies. Aid programmes may have unintended consequences that are often not measured resulting in positive or negative spillovers. These spillovers may explain why some programs are more effective than others. Thus, this project will improve our understanding of aid effectiveness which, in turn, provides the foundations to reduce poverty and achieve the SDGs. Trots framsteg på många fronter kvarstår enorma skillnader i levnadsstandard mellan världens fattiga och rika länder. För att bemöta de globala samhällsutmaningarna har världens länder antagit en uppsättning mål för hållbar utveckling (SDGs). De 17 målen, som delats upp i 169 delmål, täcker en lång rad ekonomiska, sociala och miljörelaterade frågor, och ska, med gemensamma insatser från det internationella samfundet, uppnås till år 2030. Behovet av utvecklingspolicy som hjälper utvecklingsländer att uppnå de specifika målsättningarna skapar efterfrågan på specifik, men samtidigt generaliserbar, forskning om biståndets effektivitet.       Syftet med projektet är att studera biståndseffektivitet i ett disaggregerat, jämförande perspektiv, med fokus på systematisk variation mellan biståndssektorer, givare och regioner inom länder. Med tanke på hållbarhetsmålen och det ökade behovet av mål-specifik utvärdering av biståndets effekter är detta fokus centralt från ett policyperspektiv.       Projektet fyller dessutom en viktig lucka i den akademiska litteraturen om biståndets effektivitet. Frågan om huruvida bistånd bidrar till ekonomisk utveckling, och på vilket sätt det i så fall ska organiseras för att vara mest effektivt, är kontroversiell. Det har under lång tid funnits en tydlig uppdelning mellan makro- och mikrostudier på området, dvs. studier som undersöker sambandet mellan samlade biståndsflöden och olika utfall på landnivå, och studier som undersöker effekten av enskilda biståndsprojekt. Medan de tidigare har problem att statistiskt fastslå kausala samband har de senare, som ibland baseras på väldesignade randomiserade insatser, viktiga begränsningar i fråga om generaliserbarhet.       Det här projektet berör ’den saknade mitten’ i litteraturen om biståndseffektivitet. För att systematiskt studera variation mellan biståndssektorer, givare och regioner inom länder i fråga om biståndets effektivitet kommer vi använda oss av ’Geospacial Impact Evaluation’ (GIE), en ny metod som utnyttjar geokodad bistånds- och utfallsdata på lokal (subnationell) nivå för att utvärdera effekten av biståndsprojekt. Genom att geografiskt matcha information om var biståndsprojekt genomförs med geokodad surveydata på individ- eller hushållsnivå kan man systematiskt studera lokala effekter av biståndsprojekt på bred front, över flera länder. Istället för att mäta effekten av det samlade biståndsflödet till ett land, eller effekten av ett enskilt projekt, kan man med denna metod exempelvis studera om hälsoprojekt har haft positiva effekter på relevanta hälsoutfall i berörda områden, såväl som indirekta effekter på andra utfall (såsom fattigdom).       Det senare är en viktig poäng. När vi studerar biståndets effektivitet kommer vi inte bara ta hänsyn till huruvida ett projekt uppfyller dess uttryckliga mål, utan också beröra indirekta, oavsiktliga, effekter som kan vara positiva såväl som negativa. För att få en djupare förståelse för biståndets indirekta effekter, samt mer generellt, varför vissa projekt är framgångsrika och andra inte, kommer vi komplettera GIE-analysen med fältstudier som fokuserar på specifika biståndsinsatser.       Vårt bidrag till den akademiska litteraturen och policydebatten om biståndseffektivitet kan delas in i tre kategorier.

The fragility of the socio-economic structure of this region makes it particularly vulnerable to such environmental effects. However, the actual quantification of these effects is problematic: the climate effects of light-absorbing aerosols is a major uncertainty in current atmospheric climate science in general. Unfortunately, the level of confidence is particularly low for SSA due to the comparably limited number of ground-based observations.In this project we address the large uncertainties of light-absorbing aerosols in SSA by conducting ground-based local-collaborative observations at both urban and background sites in Rwanda and Kenya. We will focus on the characterization of light-absorbing black (BC) and brown carbon (BrC) aerosols, which will be collected on filters. The filters will be analyzed at Stockholm University, in part by exchange students from Rwanda and Kenya. Special care will be given to the isolation of BrC by systematically examining different extraction solvents. The light-absorption, chemical characteristics and isotopic composition of BC and BrC will be examined, providing insights into emissions sources. Taken together this project address a central problem for sustainable development in SSA. The findings will be communicated to our policy contacts in Rwanda, Kenya and Sweden. Den övergripande målsättningen med det här projektet är att förbättra vår förståelse av hur de stora utsläppen av ljusabsorberande aerosoler påverkar klimat och hälsa i Sub-Sahariska Afrika.Varje år släpps enorma mängder ljusabsorberande aerosoler ut i atmosfären över Subsahariska Afrika genom savann- och skogsbränder samt mänskliga aktiviteter. Dessa luftpartiklar värmer upp det regionala klimatet eftersom de absorberar det inkommande solljuset. De påverkar även nederbörden – vilket påverkar tillgången på färskvatten och kan leda till torka/översvämningar - minskar solljuset vid markytan -  vilket påverkar tex agrara näringar - och försämrar kvaliteten på luften människor andas. Sammantaget har detta allvarliga konsekvenser, särskilt för fattiga människor som så gott som alltid har sämst resiliens mot miljöpåverkan. Det innebär också en stor utmaning när det gäller hållbar utveckling för området, särskilt som den pågående befolkninsökningen och urbaniseringen är kopplad till ökade utsläpp.Tyvärr är vår generella förståelse av ljusabsorberande aerosoler och deras miljöeffektet förknippad med stora osäkerheter. Modellberäkningar av klimateffekterna av en av huvudkomponenterna, sot (engelska ’black carbon’), underskattas med en faktor av 2-3 globalt jämfört med mätningar i atmosfären. För Subsahariska Afrika -  vilket uppskattas vara ett av de tre områden på jorden som står för störst utsläpp av sot - är kunskapsläget ännu sämre p.g.a. det begränsade antalet av mätstationer. Detta påverkar även vår förståelse för sots hälsoeffekter: sot är t.ex. en av de mer hälsopåverkande komponenterna i de luftföroreningar som årligen dödar mer än 7 miljoner människor, särskilt i låginkomstländer.Förutom sot, är även bruna aerosoler (engelska ’brown carbon’) en viktig del av de ljusabsorberande aerosolerna. De bruna aerosolerna har börjat studeras först på senare år, och kunskapsläget är därför ännu sämre än för sot. Precis som med sot, bildas bruna aerosoler genom ofullständiga förbränningsprocesser som savannabränder eller trafikavgaser, även om andra mekanismer även kan bidra till bildandet. Detta är en anledning till att man anser att Subsahariska Afrika är den region på jorden som släpper ut mest bruna aerosoler.För att förbättra kunskapsläget kring sot och bruna aerosoler i Subsahariska Afrika föreslår vi att i det här projektet fortsätta vårt nära samarbete med våra kollegor i Rwanda och Kenya. Genom att samla in filterprover i både stads- (Nairobi) och vid bakgrundsstationer i bergen i Rwanda och Kenya har vi möjligheten att undersöka både sotets och de bruna aerosolernas fysiska och kemiska egenskaper i olika miljöer i Subsahariska Afrika. Dessa studier möjligör också kunskapsutbyte mellan svenska och afrikanska forskare, samt tillfällen för undervisning samt utbyte av masterstudenter.En anledning till att kunskapsläget för de bruna aerosolerna i nuläget är lågt är att det inte finns några väl etablerade tekniker för att isolera dessa från andra aerosoler. I det här projektet föreslår vi en strategi för att isolera dessa genom att använda extrahering med systematiskt urvalda lösningsmedel. Vi kommer använda och jämföra effekterna extraktion med lösningsmedel med olika specifika kemiska egenskaper: polära vätedonerande lösningsmedel (tex vatten) polära väteaccepterande (tex acetonitril) samt ickepolära lösningsmedel (tex hexan). De olika extrakten med bruna aerosoler kommer sedan att användas för att karakterisera isolaten mha isotop- och ljus-absorberande egenskaper.Isotopverktygen är kraftfulla för att förstå utsläppskällor, men även effekter av reaktioner i atmosfären. Till exempel kan kol-14 användas för att särskilja fossila från biomassakällor. Isotopkarakteriseringen kommer att genomföras på både bruna aerosoler och sotpartiklar. Förbättrad förståelse av utsläppskällorna för dessa ger direkta insikter i vilka källor som ger störst klimat eller hälsopåverkan.

The fragility of the socio-economic structure of this region makes it particularly vulnerable to such environmental effects. However, the actual quantification of these effects is problematic: the climate effects of light-absorbing aerosols is a major uncertainty in current atmospheric climate science in general. Unfortunately, the level of confidence is particularly low for SSA due to the comparably limited number of ground-based observations.In this project we address the large uncertainties of light-absorbing aerosols in SSA by conducting ground-based local-collaborative observations at both urban and background sites in Rwanda and Kenya. We will focus on the characterization of light-absorbing black (BC) and brown carbon (BrC) aerosols, which will be collected on filters. The filters will be analyzed at Stockholm University, in part by exchange students from Rwanda and Kenya. Special care will be given to the isolation of BrC by systematically examining different extraction solvents. The light-absorption, chemical characteristics and isotopic composition of BC and BrC will be examined, providing insights into emissions sources. Taken together this project address a central problem for sustainable development in SSA. The findings will be communicated to our policy contacts in Rwanda, Kenya and Sweden. Den övergripande målsättningen med det här projektet är att förbättra vår förståelse av hur de stora utsläppen av ljusabsorberande aerosoler påverkar klimat och hälsa i Sub-Sahariska Afrika.Varje år släpps enorma mängder ljusabsorberande aerosoler ut i atmosfären över Subsahariska Afrika genom savann- och skogsbränder samt mänskliga aktiviteter. Dessa luftpartiklar värmer upp det regionala klimatet eftersom de absorberar det inkommande solljuset. De påverkar även nederbörden – vilket påverkar tillgången på färskvatten och kan leda till torka/översvämningar - minskar solljuset vid markytan -  vilket påverkar tex agrara näringar - och försämrar kvaliteten på luften människor andas. Sammantaget har detta allvarliga konsekvenser, särskilt för fattiga människor som så gott som alltid har sämst resiliens mot miljöpåverkan. Det innebär också en stor utmaning när det gäller hållbar utveckling för området, särskilt som den pågående befolkninsökningen och urbaniseringen är kopplad till ökade utsläpp.Tyvärr är vår generella förståelse av ljusabsorberande aerosoler och deras miljöeffektet förknippad med stora osäkerheter. Modellberäkningar av klimateffekterna av en av huvudkomponenterna, sot (engelska ’black carbon’), underskattas med en faktor av 2-3 globalt jämfört med mätningar i atmosfären. För Subsahariska Afrika -  vilket uppskattas vara ett av de tre områden på jorden som står för störst utsläpp av sot - är kunskapsläget ännu sämre p.g.a. det begränsade antalet av mätstationer. Detta påverkar även vår förståelse för sots hälsoeffekter: sot är t.ex. en av de mer hälsopåverkande komponenterna i de luftföroreningar som årligen dödar mer än 7 miljoner människor, särskilt i låginkomstländer.Förutom sot, är även bruna aerosoler (engelska ’brown carbon’) en viktig del av de ljusabsorberande aerosolerna. De bruna aerosolerna har börjat studeras först på senare år, och kunskapsläget är därför ännu sämre än för sot. Precis som med sot, bildas bruna aerosoler genom ofullständiga förbränningsprocesser som savannabränder eller trafikavgaser, även om andra mekanismer även kan bidra till bildandet. Detta är en anledning till att man anser att Subsahariska Afrika är den region på jorden som släpper ut mest bruna aerosoler.För att förbättra kunskapsläget kring sot och bruna aerosoler i Subsahariska Afrika föreslår vi att i det här projektet fortsätta vårt nära samarbete med våra kollegor i Rwanda och Kenya. Genom att samla in filterprover i både stads- (Nairobi) och vid bakgrundsstationer i bergen i Rwanda och Kenya har vi möjligheten att undersöka både sotets och de bruna aerosolernas fysiska och kemiska egenskaper i olika miljöer i Subsahariska Afrika. Dessa studier möjligör också kunskapsutbyte mellan svenska och afrikanska forskare, samt tillfällen för undervisning samt utbyte av masterstudenter.En anledning till att kunskapsläget för de bruna aerosolerna i nuläget är lågt är att det inte finns några väl etablerade tekniker för att isolera dessa från andra aerosoler. I det här projektet föreslår vi en strategi för att isolera dessa genom att använda extrahering med systematiskt urvalda lösningsmedel. Vi kommer använda och jämföra effekterna extraktion med lösningsmedel med olika specifika kemiska egenskaper: polära vätedonerande lösningsmedel (tex vatten) polära väteaccepterande (tex acetonitril) samt ickepolära lösningsmedel (tex hexan). De olika extrakten med bruna aerosoler kommer sedan att användas för att karakterisera isolaten mha isotop- och ljus-absorberande egenskaper.Isotopverktygen är kraftfulla för att förstå utsläppskällor, men även effekter av reaktioner i atmosfären.

Since the goals are interconnected, they must be tackled in an integrated way. Hence, the SDGs offer new opportunities for sectors to collaborate to achieve sustainable progress on common issues. The purpose of this collaboration is to develop a common research project regarding the SDGs and child health between institutions in Sweden, Cambodia and Southeast Asia. Specifically, the project would lead to synthesized evidence of the impact of the non-health sector on child health globally and in the collaborative countries as well as an identification, description and classification of the linkages between child health and the SDGs both globally, regionally and on a country level. The collaboration and research project will be developed during a two year period, with project activities including study visit to Cambodia, a small pilot study in Cambodia, regional meetings in Bangkok and an international workshop in Sweden. This collaboration will be the first ever attempt at creating an empirical base for assessing SDG interactions in a health policy area. A better understanding of the linkages between SDGs can form a basis for bridging science and decision making and provide a lever to push governments to take multisectoral action not only in child health but in other areas as well, enabling transformative action both at national and global level. I september 2015 enades FN´s 192 medlemsländer om ett nytt ramverk för hållbar utveckling, Agenda 2030. Ramverket utgörs av 17 Hållbara Utvecklingsmål och 169 delmål, vilka reflekterar de tre dimensionerna av hållbar utveckling; den miljömässiga, sociala och ekonomiska. Eftersom många av målen till stor del är sammanflätade måste beslutsfattare och forskare tackla målen i sin helhet och ta i beaktning hur en förändring inom ett område påverkar ett annat. Inom global barnhälsa har man länge insett hur viktigt det är med väl fungerande sektorer utanför den traditionella hälso- och sjukvården, exempelvis vatten och sanitet (Mål 6), för att erhålla en god barnhälsa. Vidare är det visat att ungefär hälften av minskningen i barnadödlighet i låg och medelinkomstländer de senaste årtiondena kan härledas till interventioner och framsteg utanför hälso- och sjukvården. Samtidigt visar mycket forskning på att framsteg inom barnhälsa är en nödvändighet om vi ska uppfylla andra mål i Agenda 2030.Forskare har på olika sätt försökt att konceptualisera och konkretisera interaktioner mellan de olika målen i Agenda 2030. Måns Nilsson, en av deltagarna i denna ansökan, och kollegor har utvecklat en metod som givet ett antal dimensioner systematiskt klassificerar interaktioner utefter dess riktning och styrka på en skala mellan -3 och +3. Vi har använt denna metod för att undersöka vilka interaktioner som finns mellan barnhälsa och de 169 delmålen och visat på att det finns många förstärkande och få försvårande interaktioner mellan barnhälsa och de Hållbara Utvecklingsmålen. Dessa generella fynd är dock otillräckliga eftersom interaktioner av sin natur beror på kontexten där de analyseras. Vidare finns det stora kunskapsluckor inom den medicinska forskningen kring hur påverkan från andra samhällsområden påverkar hälsa och välbefinnande vilket gör det svårt att klassificera interaktioner. Vi ämnar därför vidareutveckla ett forskningssamarbete mellan forskare från olika discipliner och institutioner i Sverige, Kambodja och Sydostasien för att sammanställa en grundläggande evidensbas för multisektoriella interventioner och dess effekt samt identifiera, beskriva och klassificera interaktioner mellan barnhälsa och de Hållbara Utvecklingsmålen på en global och nationell nivå i Kambodja. Inom arbetet för att utveckla detta forskningsprojekt kommer vi genomföra olika nätverksbyggande aktiviteter så som möten och workshops i Kambodja, Bangkok och Sverige samt en mindre pilotstudie i Kambodja. Målet med pilotstudien är att undersöka metodologin, bygga kapacitet hos samarbetspartners och arbetet och resultatet av studien kommer ligga till grund för utvecklandet av forskningssamarbetet och det gemensamma forskningsprojektet. Under pilotstudien kommer forskare från Sverige, Kambodja, Sydostasien och Afrika vara delaktiga. Forskningssamarbetet och det forskningsprojekt vi vill utveckla har stor potential. Kortsiktigt kommer samarbetet innebära möjligheter för världsledande forskare inom olika fält att få möjligheten att mötas och samarbeta över disciplingränser vilket kommer driva multidisciplinär barnhälsoforskning framåt. Den planerade pilotstudien kommer att vara den första studien i sitt slag och medföra nya forskningsresultat och därmed vara ett unikt tillskott till den vetenskapliga debatten kring interaktionerna mellan de Hållbara Utvecklingsmålen. På längre sikt kommer samarbetet underlätta kunskapsutbyte och kapacitetsbyggande i samarbetsländerna och leda till utvecklingen av ett större gemensamt forskningsprojekt. Genom att förstå och uppskatta sambanden mellan de Hållbara Utvecklingsmålen och barnhälsa får beslutsfattare nya verktyg att accelerera arbetet för att nå de ambitiöst satta målen för barnhälsa och Agenda 2030 i sin helhet.

Vidare finns det stora kunskapsluckor inom den medicinska forskningen kring hur påverkan från andra samhällsområden påverkar hälsa och välbefinnande vilket gör det svårt att klassificera interaktioner. Vi ämnar därför vidareutveckla ett forskningssamarbete mellan forskare från olika discipliner och institutioner i Sverige, Kambodja och Sydostasien för att sammanställa en grundläggande evidensbas för multisektoriella interventioner och dess effekt samt identifiera, beskriva och klassificera interaktioner mellan barnhälsa och de Hållbara Utvecklingsmålen på en global och nationell nivå i Kambodja. Inom arbetet för att utveckla detta forskningsprojekt kommer vi genomföra olika nätverksbyggande aktiviteter så som möten och workshops i Kambodja, Bangkok och Sverige samt en mindre pilotstudie i Kambodja. Målet med pilotstudien är att undersöka metodologin, bygga kapacitet hos samarbetspartners och arbetet och resultatet av studien kommer ligga till grund för utvecklandet av forskningssamarbetet och det gemensamma forskningsprojektet. Under pilotstudien kommer forskare från Sverige, Kambodja, Sydostasien och Afrika vara delaktiga. Forskningssamarbetet och det forskningsprojekt vi vill utveckla har stor potential. Kortsiktigt kommer samarbetet innebära möjligheter för världsledande forskare inom olika fält att få möjligheten att mötas och samarbeta över disciplingränser vilket kommer driva multidisciplinär barnhälsoforskning framåt. Den planerade pilotstudien kommer att vara den första studien i sitt slag och medföra nya forskningsresultat och därmed vara ett unikt tillskott till den vetenskapliga debatten kring interaktionerna mellan de Hållbara Utvecklingsmålen. På längre sikt kommer samarbetet underlätta kunskapsutbyte och kapacitetsbyggande i samarbetsländerna och leda till utvecklingen av ett större gemensamt forskningsprojekt. Genom att förstå och uppskatta sambanden mellan de Hållbara Utvecklingsmålen och barnhälsa får beslutsfattare nya verktyg att accelerera arbetet för att nå de ambitiöst satta målen för barnhälsa och Agenda 2030 i sin helhet.

Despite the growing research in this field, there is a lack of standardized definitions and methods, which constitutes a challenge in comparing and relating findings across studies. Thus, we will focus on identifying methodological challenges, proposing new and improved methodologies, testing these through a small pilot project, and based on the results, develop joint research applications for large-scale research. Guiding research questions are: what are the challenges and limitations in research methodologies, how can tools and processes be strengthened to better ensure that survivors feel safe and secure about reporting conflict-related sexual violence, and how can the improved tools and processes be used to access hard-to-reach groups? During year 1 we will arrange joint workshops/conferences, and design and implement the pilot study at a refugee camp. During year 2 we will assess the results from the pilot study, disseminate these through workshops/conferences at all 3 locations, and develop joint applications. The collaboration will yield increased knowledge and data regarding methodological research challenges related to conflict-related sexual violence. Bakgrund: Konfliktbaserat sexuellt våld omfattar olika typer av sexuellt våld som sker i samband med en konflikt. Medan formerna och utbredningen skiftar utgör detta våld ett allvarligt hot mot fattigdomsbekämpning och en hållbar utveckling. Forskning visar att mellan 4 och 22 % av kvinnor och flickor inom konfliktområden har drabbats av olika former av sexuellt våld. Det framkommer även att män och pojkar drabbas, troligen till mindre utsträckning än kvinnor och flickor, men det är ännu oklart i vilken utsträckning och vilka former dessa övergrepp tar. Konfliktbaserat sexuellt våld har påverkan på människors hälsa, ökar risken för omfattande psykologisk skada, samt påverkan på överlevarnas sexuella och reproduktiva hälsa. Medan forskningen de senaste 20 åren har uppmärksammat det sexuella våldet i konflikter genom olika studier finns betydande kunskapsluckor inom området. Ett problem kopplat till detta är att rapporteringen kring övergreppen inte är fullständig på grund av överlevarnas rädsla och skam och det stigma som råder kring sexuellt våld. Detta begränsar kunskapen gällande bestämningsfaktorer, former, utbredning och utfall kring det sexuella våldet. Kunskap som viktig för att bidra till, och förbättra, insatser som syftar till att hjälpa de drabbade och förhindra framtida övergrepp och minska lidande.Idé och syfte: Det övergripande syftet är att utveckla ett långsiktigt partnerskap mellan Lunds universitet, Gulu University i Uganda och University of Juba i Sydsudan för att stärka forskningskapaciteten kring konfliktbaserat sexuellt våld, och därmed bidra till en förbättrad kunskapsbas som kan understödja åtgärder mot sexuellt våld. Fokus ligger på att identifiera metodologiska utmaningar relaterat till att samla in och analysera data kring konfliktbaserat sexuellt våld, samt att utveckla nya och förbättrade metoder för att adressera underrapportering av sexuellt våld som kan bidra till en ökad insyn i bestämningsfaktorer, former, utbredning och utfall. Vi planerar att genomföra en mindre pilotstudie på ett flyktingläger i norra Uganda för att testa de nya metoderna som vi identifierat. Resultaten kommer att ligga till grund för en gemensam ansökan för att bedriva mer omfattande forskningsstudier kring konfliktbaserat sexuellt våld i regionen. Eftersom samarbetet sätter metodologier i centrum kan det på längre sikt bidra till en utveckling av forskningsområdet. Detta kan ge en möjlighet för lokala såväl som internationella forskare att få fördjupad kunskap i hur vissa av de existerande utmaningarna kan adresseras och därmed skapa möjligheter för att vidareutveckla kunskapsbasen som ligger till grund för program och interventioner. Vidare kan etableringen av nätverket mellan universiteten och övriga aktörer inom området agera som en viktig språngbräda för forskare som står i begrepp att utföra studier inom området. Projektet har en nära anknytning till de globala målen för en hållbar utveckling i den mån att det bidrar till det förebyggande arbetet kring fattigdomsbekämpning. Sexuellt våld leder till livslånga trauman, social stigmatisering och begränsade försörjningsmöjligheter – oönskade graviditeter tvingar kvinnor till att försöka försörja både sig själva och barnen vilket kan skapa en ond fattigdomsspiral som spänner över generationer. En fördjupad och samlad kunskap kring konfliktbaserat sexuellt våld är således nödvändig för att utveckla effektiva insatser.Utförande: Under en tvåårig period planeras ett antal aktiviteter som ligger till grund för ett ömsesidigt kunskapsutbyte mellan universiteten. Seminarier och workshops utgör en viktig del i detta arbete då vi får möjlighet att ta del av varandras perspektiv och erfarenheter. Andra aktiviteter som planeras är framtagandet av en sammanställning av tillgänglig forskning inom fältet, en pilotstudie som testar de nya metoderna, en forskningsartikel baserat på resultaten och en gemensam ansökan för ett större forskningsprojekt i regionen. Informationsspridning till både det akademiska och icke-akademiska samhället kommer att ske kontinuerligt under hela projekttiden för att sprida information om samarbetet och resultaten som framkommer men också för att inhämta information från de som arbetar med sexuellt våld.

The share of the poor living in fragile environments is projected to increase, and small credits should be both more essential for household welfare and more challenging to capitalize in such an environment. The objective of this project is therefore to assess the impact of access to micro-credits through a randomized controlled trial in agreement with four MSME-financing institutions operating in Somalia. A partial-credit guarantee offered by our implementing partner Silatech, a social fund from Qatar, will incentivize the provision of credit to higher-risk borrowers, a subset of whom will be randomly selected to receive the guarantee and thereby obtain credit, while a subset will not. This is a methodological improvement as it gives us an opportunity to randomize at the individual level and calculate average treatment effects rather than randomize availability of credits at the community level, capturing intention to treat effects. Surveys of both control and treatment groups will be used to measure financial and social returns, income generation, job creation and life satisfaction, but also impact on political attitudes, including radicalization and support for extremist groups using endorsement and list experiments. Politiskt våld och instabilitet är en av de största utmaningarna för människors välbefinnande samt ambitionen att nå FNs nya globala mål för hållbar utveckling. Mellan 1990 och 2015 reducerades världens fattigdom till hälften, men tyvärr är utvecklingen långt ifrån unison. I så kallade ”fragile states” har utvecklingen snarast gått åt motsatt håll. År 2000 uppskattades en fjärdedel av världens extremt fattiga leva inom bräckliga och konfliktdrabbade länder. År 2030 förväntas mer än hälften göra det. Det är därför inte konstigt att de tidigare FN målen (Milleniemålen) har kritiserats för att inte ha beaktat dessa länders speciella behov och utmaningar tillräckligt.Somalia är ett av 20 "ständigt bräckliga" länder på den lista som de multilaterala utvecklingsbankerna använder sig av. Över 60 % av befolkningen anses vara fattig, och hög arbetslöshet, inte minst bland unga och kvinnor, och en offentlig sektor i förfall har gjort att många sätter sitt hopp till eget företagande. Endast i regionen Somaliland uppskattas det finnas över 100 000 små företag och de står för 33 % av regionens totala sysselsättning. Företagens tillväxt hämmas dock inte bara av den osäkra politiska utvecklingen, svag inhemsk efterfrågan och utbredd korruption, utan också av högst bristfälliga kapitalmarknader. Ett ljus i mörkret är dock tillväxten av mikrokredit-banker som ofta explicit vänder sig till unga och kvinnor med ambitionen att starta små företag, eller redan har små företag som behöver mer finansiering. Mikrokrediter har de senaste 15-20 åren blivit ett av de viktigaste, och mest omtalade, instrumenten för fattigdomsbekämpning inom utvecklingsarbetet. Enligt uppskattningar så har antalet extremt fattiga hushåll som har mikrolån globalt växt från 7,6 miljoner 1997, till 137,5 miljoner 2010. Men forskningen kring mikrolånens effektivitet har hittills begränsats till fattiga men stabila miljöer. Syftet med detta projekt är att göra en effektutvärdering av mikrokrediter i Somalia, ett land med ovanligt stora ekonomiska, sociala och politiska utmaningar. Tillsammans med våra samarbetspartners, en social fond (Silatech) baserad i Doha, Qatar, och de fyra största mikrokreditbankerna i Somalia, så kommer vi att genomföra en randomiserad studie med en unik forskningsdesign. Silatech tillhandahåller bankerna en partiell kredit-garanti som ger bankerna möjlighet att nå ut till kunder utan tillgång till egen finansiell säkerhet (”collateral”, vilket normalt krävs för att få låna). Storleken på garantin är begränsad, så de utan garanti, men annars rimliga affärsplaner, får genom ett lotteri tillgång, eller inte, till kredit-garantin. På detta sätt får vi två likvärdiga grupper varav den ena får tillgång till lån, men inte den andra. Enkät-undersökningar i båda grupperna kommer sedan användas för att mäta effekterna av tillgång på lån (genom att jämföra genomsnittsutfall mellan de två grupperna) på primärt ekonomisk aktivitet, inkomster och tillgångar, livstillfredsställelse, och politiska attityder. Det senare är det mer unika med denna studie, hur tillgången till krediter, och med dem eventuellt också jobb och ekonomisk trygghet, påverkar politiska attityder, något som är av stor betydelse i ett politiskt fragmenterat samhälle som Somalia fyllt av extremistiskt våld. Genom olika typer av enkät-experiment, så kallade ”endorsement” och ”list” experiment, kan vi mäta även känsliga preferenser såsom stöd för radikala politiska rörelser som Al-Shabaab.   Projektets bidrag till den existerande forskningen inom utvecklingsekonomi faller med andra ord främst inom tre områden. (i) Den första gedigna effektutvärderingen av mikrokrediter i en så bräcklig och utmanande miljö (”fragile state”) som Somalia. (ii) En ny och unik metod för att säkerställa att vi fångar kausala effekter av tillgången till mikrokrediter, och inte bara korrelationer. (iii) Ett bredare anslag vad gäller utfallsvariabler än vad befintliga studier har använt sig av.

This land use system integrates crop and livestock production in agricultural lands with a significant tree cover. The total annual output (as food, fodder and tree products) of these system is referred to as Net Primary Production (NPP). Recent analyses show that the demand for NPP in the region is rapidly increasing while the supply remains nearly constant. In this project we will study factors controlling NPP with the aim to enable optimization of land management and production capacity.Our project, building on an experienced multidisciplinary group with the ambition to employ a PhD student from Burkina Faso, will provide novel agro-ecological knowledge critical to parkland management. We will i)quantify NPP supply of the three main parkland components; crops, trees and grasses, and relate it to several controlling factors, ii)develop a system for national scale NPP monitoring using free and high resolution satellite data, iii)build scenarios of future NPP supply and demand guided by our NPP assessments, population projections, climate scenarios and land stakeholder dialogues, iv)interact with land users and policy actors in workshops for evaluating feasibility of scenarios, hurdles and ways forward, and v)disseminate results through posters, YouTube-films and flyers in local languages. I de västafrikanska torrområdena är majoriteten av befolkningen direkt beroende av de resurser som produceras i så kallade parklands. Jordbrukssystem kännetecknas av att grödor odlas under relativt tätt trädtäcke. Med jämna mellanrum läggs fälten i träda för att jorden inte ska utarmas på näringsämnen och blir då betesmark för boskap. Från parklands får befolkningen en rad livsnödvändiga resurser; grödor, frukt och nötter, djurbete och virke. Den sammanlagda biomassan som produceras i dessa landskap under en viss tidsperiod är dess primärproduktion (på engelska net primary production, NPP), d.v.s. den biologiska process där växter omvandlar oorganiska ämnen till kolhydrater genom fotosyntes.Sudano-Sahel upplever i nuläget en av jordens kraftigaste befolkningsökningar, samtidigt som området både är särskilt känsligt och utsatt för klimatförändringar. Den höga känsligheten beror på att jordbruket är starkt beroende av regelbundna regn då konstbevattning är mycket sällsynt. En rad rapporter visar nu att kombinationen av ett ökat behov av primärproduktion, som resulterar från befolkningsökningen, och ändrade regnmönster i en snar framtid kommer leda till ett kraftigt underskott av primärproduktion. Det finns alltså stora frågetecken kring huruvida dessa landskap kan bidra med en hållbar produktion av naturresurser, och därmed föda den växande befolkningen.Det finns dock stora kunskapsluckor när det gäller primärproduktionen i parklands. I nuläget vet vi inte hur mycket landskapens olika komponenter, d.v.s. grödor, träd och gräs, producerar. Vi vet heller inte hur parklands-typer i olika klimatzoner skiljer sig gällande mängd primärproduktion. Det finns också stora kunskapsluckor kring de faktorer (t.ex. markskötsel, djurhållning, val av grödor och regnmönster) som påverkar primärproduktionen. Bristen på grundläggande kunskap leder till att det är mycket svårt att utveckla metoder och strategier för att optimera utformningen, stödet och skötseln av dessa jordbrukslandskap med syfte att maximera primärproduktionen.Förutom en ökad kunskapsnivå så finns det också ett stort behov av förbättrade metoder för att kvantifiera landskapens primärproduktion. Vanligtvis används lågupplösta satellitdata (500-1000 m) när primärproduktion övervakas på landskapsnivå. Detaljgraden i denna information är låg i förhållande till jordbruksfältens storlek, vilken minskar dess praktiska användbarhet. I det här sammanhanget är det nya europeiska satellit-systemet Sentinel, med betydligt högre upplösning (10 m), mycket intressant. Ett system som med hög detaljgrad kan övervaka primärproduktion kan bidra till en rad applikationer för att säkerställa kvantifieringen av landskapens produktionskapacitet. Det skulle t.ex. kunna identifiera områden med akut brist på naturresurser, eller områden där långsiktiga åtgärder krävs för att förbättra landskapets förmåga till primärproduktion.Detta projekt kommer studera produktionskapaciteten hos dessa jordbrukssystem och de faktorer som påverkar den för att förstå hur de kan komma att påverkas av klimatförändringar och en växande befolkning. Vårt multidisciplinära forskarlag kommer kombinera en rad unika metoder för att göra fältmätningar av primärproduktion hos träd, grödor och gräs, samt samla in information om böndernas markanvändning. Fältarbetet kommer utföras i tre studieområden placerade i olika klimatzoner för att vi ska kunna studera skillnader mellan parkland-typer och skapa kunskap som är relevant för hela regionen. Förutom att utgöra grunden för analysen kommer fältmätningar användas till att kalibrera en satellitbaserad metod som gör det möjligt att kartera primärproduktion på nationell skala i Burkina Faso. Scenarier baserade på våra resultat i kombination med befolkningsprognoser och klimatscenarier kommer att tas fram och användas i deltagande-workshops på lokal och nationell nivå. Projektet kommer leverera vetenskapliga alster samt praktiska och policyrelaterade produkter (översatta informationsblad, filmer etc). Sammanfattningsvis kommer projektet bidra till en kraftigt förbättrad förståelse av detta viktiga jordbrukssystem, etablera diskussioner med markbrukare och tjänstefolk på relevanta ministerier, samt att utveckla ett mer detaljerat, relevant och kostnadseffektvt system för att övervaka förändringar i landskapets primärproduktion.

This land use system integrates crop and livestock production in agricultural lands with a significant tree cover. The total annual output (as food, fodder and tree products) of these system is referred to as Net Primary Production (NPP). Recent analyses show that the demand for NPP in the region is rapidly increasing while the supply remains nearly constant. In this project we will study factors controlling NPP with the aim to enable optimization of land management and production capacity.Our project, building on an experienced multidisciplinary group with the ambition to employ a PhD student from Burkina Faso, will provide novel agro-ecological knowledge critical to parkland management. We will i)quantify NPP supply of the three main parkland components; crops, trees and grasses, and relate it to several controlling factors, ii)develop a system for national scale NPP monitoring using free and high resolution satellite data, iii)build scenarios of future NPP supply and demand guided by our NPP assessments, population projections, climate scenarios and land stakeholder dialogues, iv)interact with land users and policy actors in workshops for evaluating feasibility of scenarios, hurdles and ways forward, and v)disseminate results through posters, YouTube-films and flyers in local languages. I de västafrikanska torrområdena är majoriteten av befolkningen direkt beroende av de resurser som produceras i så kallade parklands. Jordbrukssystem kännetecknas av att grödor odlas under relativt tätt trädtäcke. Med jämna mellanrum läggs fälten i träda för att jorden inte ska utarmas på näringsämnen och blir då betesmark för boskap. Från parklands får befolkningen en rad livsnödvändiga resurser; grödor, frukt och nötter, djurbete och virke. Den sammanlagda biomassan som produceras i dessa landskap under en viss tidsperiod är dess primärproduktion (på engelska net primary production, NPP), d.v.s. den biologiska process där växter omvandlar oorganiska ämnen till kolhydrater genom fotosyntes.Sudano-Sahel upplever i nuläget en av jordens kraftigaste befolkningsökningar, samtidigt som området både är särskilt känsligt och utsatt för klimatförändringar. Den höga känsligheten beror på att jordbruket är starkt beroende av regelbundna regn då konstbevattning är mycket sällsynt. En rad rapporter visar nu att kombinationen av ett ökat behov av primärproduktion, som resulterar från befolkningsökningen, och ändrade regnmönster i en snar framtid kommer leda till ett kraftigt underskott av primärproduktion. Det finns alltså stora frågetecken kring huruvida dessa landskap kan bidra med en hållbar produktion av naturresurser, och därmed föda den växande befolkningen.Det finns dock stora kunskapsluckor när det gäller primärproduktionen i parklands. I nuläget vet vi inte hur mycket landskapens olika komponenter, d.v.s. grödor, träd och gräs, producerar. Vi vet heller inte hur parklands-typer i olika klimatzoner skiljer sig gällande mängd primärproduktion. Det finns också stora kunskapsluckor kring de faktorer (t.ex. markskötsel, djurhållning, val av grödor och regnmönster) som påverkar primärproduktionen.

Although mass-starvation has killed staggering numbers of people, it is usually not conceptualized as mass-violence. Victims are rarely commemorated and actors responsible are not held accountable – despite the fact that famines are largely man-made. The proposed project aims to analyze the attempts and possibilities to pursue remembrance and justice after famines. It studies (1) under what conditions, how and by whom famines are understood, remembered and dealt with as mass-atrocities. This is done through a historical study of six famines in Africa, Asia and Europe. The project also analyzes (2) contemporary initiatives to push for remembrance and justice for hunger deaths, for instance by intergovernmental organizations, civil society groups, legal professionals, victim groups and states. Theoretically, the project understands conceptualizations of violence, memorialization and pursuit of justice as interconnected. Methodologically, the project will draw on earlier literature, archival research and media sources, and also carry out interviews with experts and key actors involved in projects of commemoration and justice. Bringing attention to the structural violence of famines, and gaining a systematic understanding of the opportunities and obstacles to bring those responsible to justice and commemorate victims will contribute to the important endeavor of preventing famines in the future. Efter att antalet människor som svälter i världen minskat stadigt under lång tid ökar hungern igen. År 2016 led hela 100 miljoner människor – 20 miljoner fler än året innan – av akut matbrist. År 2017 utbröt svältkatastrof i Sydsudan och varningar för svält utfärdades för Nigeria, Somalia och Jemen. Mellan år 1870 och 2010 dog minst hundra miljoner människor i stora svältkatastrofer. Dessa svindlande siffror visar att svält är en tragedi i nivå med folkmord och krig. Men trots detta hanteras det lidande och de förluster som svält medför annorlunda än förluster i krig och andra mer spektakulära former av våld. När det gäller folkmord, krig och terrorism finns internationella och nationella normer och processer för att ställa de skyldiga till svars, söka sanningen om vad som hände och minnas offren. Svält däremot betraktas ofta som något som beror på olyckliga omständigheter såsom dåligt väder. Svältens offer förblir osynliga och osörjda. Detta trots att forskningen om hur svältkatastrofer uppkommer entydigt visar att svält nästan alltid orsakas av medvetna handlingar – eller brist på handlande. Flera forskare har förespråkat att vi börjar prata om ”svältbrott” och identifierar gärningsmännen bakom världens hungerkatastrofer.Detta forskningsprojekt studerar de försök som görs för att minnas och skipa rättvisa för svältens offer, och bidrar därmed till att skapa en förståelse av svält som en typ av våld som måste tas på minst lika stort allvar som krig och folkmord.Projektet har två delar.

Genom en systematisk genomgång av tidigare litteratur, rapportering i media och arkivkällor, samt intervjuer med experter och involverade aktörer, kommer vi att undersöka hur dessa svältkatastrofer beskrivits, och titta på vilka initiativ som tagits till att identifiera och ställa ansvariga till svars och att hedra offren. Genom att jämföra de olika fallen kommer vi att få ökat förståelse för när, hur, varför och för vem det kan bli möjligt att söka rättvisa för och minnas svältens offer.Projektets andra del fokuserar på nutida aktörer som försöker driva frågan om att svält bör förstås som storskaligt våld och det därför är relevant att minnas och skipa rättsskipa efter hungersnöd. Här kommer vi att göra intervjuer med akademiker, aktivister, människorättsorganisationer, jurister och andra aktörer som engagerar sig i dessa frågor, för att identifiera hur de jobbar och vilka hinder de stöter på.Projektets resultat kommer att ha direkt relevans för de aktörer i världen som kämpar för att öka kunskapen kring och förebygga hunger. Om vi vet mer om när och hur de som är ansvariga för svältkatastrofer kan ställas till svars, och under vilka förutsättningar minneshållande av svältens offer kan bidra till helande och samhällelig återuppbyggnad, kan strategier formuleras för att förstå och hantera tidigare svältkatastrofer på ett sätt som gör att framtida kriser kan förebyggas.

Since the emergence of H5N1 in 1999, this virus and later progeny viruses (such as H5N6, H5N8) have become endemic in parts of Asia, with  outbreaks in poultry and few, but highly lethal, infections in humans. Highly pathogenic viruses are related to low pathogenic viruses that circulate naturally among wild waterfowl, and it is evident that highly pathogenic viruses can be maintained in the wild bird reservoir. And important question to ask is to which extent the interface between migratory waterfowl and poultry contributes to disease persistence. We propose to combine movement ecology of waterfowl with disease epidemiology of avian influenza viruses to investigate transmission of a highly contagious and lethal poultry disease at the wildlife/domestic animal interface in rural areas of Bangladesh. Poultry, both ducks and chickens, is an essential product in agriculture in Bangladesh, for subsistence farmers and for the expanding poultry industry. Outbreaks are devastating for individual farmers, but also has ramifications for trade. We will use the development in animal tracking to generate individual-based movement data of birds, ranging from smaller movements during non-breeding times to long distance migrations. The resulting tracks will inform spatial-epidemiological models to quantify persistence/transmission of avian influenza viruses at regional and flyway scales. Under de senaste tjugo åren har fågelinfluensa blivit ett allt större problem för fjäderfäindustrin, i synnerhet i Asien. Sjukdomen orsakas av ett högpatogent H5-virus, som existerar i olika varianter, exempelvis H5N1, H5N2, H5N6 och H5N8. Ursprungsviruset är H5N1 vilket sedan via rekombination med andra influensavirus givit upphov till nya varianter. Viruset återfinns både hos vilda och tama fåglar och har en varierad sjukdomsbild. Hos höns är förloppet väldigt hastigt och förenat med nästintill 100% dödlighet, medan samma virus kan ge mild till asymptomatisk sjukdom hos vilda och tama änder. Det finns flera orsaker till dessa skillnader, dels hur immunförsvaret reagerar vid smitta men också samspelet med milda så kallade lågpatogena influensavirus som cirkulerar naturligt bland vilda änder. I delar av Asien är tamänder en betydande del av ekonomin, ofta producerade i risodlingsbygd. Våra studier kommer att bedrivas i Bangladesh, ett utvecklingsland präglat av rika vattenmiljöer, risodling och fjäderfäproduktion. Förutom den inhemska faunan och produktionen är Bangladesh också ett viktigt övervintringsområde för vilda änder som häckar i Ryssland. Detta skapar ett epidemiologiskt scenario där vilda änder, tama änder och fjäderfä samexisterar och där kontaktytan dem emellan är stark. Vi kommer att samarbeta med forskare i Bangladesh och förse ett stort antal änder med den absolut senaste tekniken för att följa djurs rörelser. Dessa sändare tar GPS-koordinater (och annan typ av rörelsedata) och använder GSM-nätet för att sända data till en databas vilket gör att man följa individers naturliga rörelser över tid. De två frågor vi vill besvara är (1) hur överlappet mellan tama och vilda fåglar ser ut och hur det bidrar till sjukdomsrisk, och (2) hur långväga flyttning kan bidra med introduktion av virus till Bangladesh. Projektet knyter an till ett större projekt där vi arbetar med samma teknik i Sydkorea och Europa. En målsättning för det större projektet är att förstå hur flyttfågelrörelser kan sprida virus över hela den euroasiatiska kontinenten.

Dominant theories fail to explain the contradictory trends regarding how developing states respond to such challenges. In some policy fields, regional cooperation is weak despite strong norms and institutions promoting regional solutions, whereas in others, it is strong although no substantial norms or institutions support it. We claim that the key to explaining this puzzle lies in the understandings of national sovereignty that the involved states develop in specific policy fields. Our main proposition is that the level of cooperation on a given transboundary policy challenge depends on whether states redefine and transform their national sovereignty in a way that sees regional cooperation as enhancing rather than constraining state autonomy. Focusing on transboundary rivers and communicable diseases, the project analyzes and compares the national sovereignty understandings of states in Africa and Southeast Asia, and how they relate to ideas about regional cooperation. The innovative comparative case study design, which includes comparison across both policy fields and regions, makes robust theory building possible. The project enhances our understanding of the conditions for regional cooperation in the Global South, and questions Western-centric and Eurocentric ideas about the link between national sovereignty and regional cooperation. Detta projekt söker förklara olika nivåer av regionalt samarbete bland utvecklingsländer för att hantera gränsöverskridande politiska utmaningar. Existerande forskning erbjuder inga övertygande förklaringar till varför utvecklingsländer lyckas samarbeta regionalt för att hantera sådana gränsöverskridande utmaningar inom vissa politikområden och under vissa omständigheter men inte i andra. På vissa politikområden är det regionala samarbetet svagt trots starka normer och institutioner som främjar regionala och kollektiva lösningar, medan samarbetet är starkt i andra politikområden, trots en avsaknad av starka normer och regionala institutioner som kan stödja det. Vi hävdar att nyckeln till förklaringen ligger i en fördjupad förståelse av nationell suveränitet. En bättre förståelse av nationell suveränitet är av särdeles stor betydelse eftersom många forskare såväl som biståndsgivare och andra praktiker alltmer agerar som om den nationella suveräniteten mest vore en gammalmodig princip som närmast spelat ut sin roll eller bara är till hinder för internationellt och regionalt samarbete. Även om en hel del forskare fortfarande inkluderar nationell suveränitet i sina analyser står det helt klart att de flesta teorier baseras på en enkelspårig (och ofta eurocentrisk) syn på hur nationell suveränitet hänger ihop med regionalt samarbete.Detta forskningsprojekt undersöker i vilken utsträckning samarbetsnivån inom ett visst politikområde beror på huruvida staterna och dess företrädare omdefinierar och omvandlar den nationella suveräniteten på ett sätt som gör att det regionala samarbete anses förbättra snarare än begränsa statens självständighet och utvecklingspotential.Projektet fokuserar specifikt på hur uppfattningar om nationell suveränitet påverkar regionalt samarbete och styrning av gränsöverskridande floder och hanteringen av smittsamma sjukdomar i Afrika och Sydostasien. Vi använder oss av flera kompletterande kvalitativa metoder och typer av material, såväl som strategiskt kvantitativt material. Den jämförande fallstudieutformningen, som alltså bygger på en systematisk jämförelse av två politikområden och två regioner, gör det möjligt att dra både teoretiska och empiriska slutsatser. På så sätt förbättrar alltså projektet vår förståelse för villkoren för framgångsrikt regionalt samarbete bland utvecklingsländer. Den jämförande fallstudiedesignen gör att resultaten kommer vara av relevans bortom de specifika politikområdena och regionerna.Projektet har även viktiga implikationer för beslutsfattande, policy och biståndspolitik. Projektet är upplagt för spridning av forskningsresultat till olika beslutsfattare och praktiker. Tack vare tidigare forskningsprojekt med starka policykomponenter har de två forskarna i projektet redan etablerade kontaktnät som möjliggör fördjupad dialog med  praktiker och beslutsfattare. Projektet syftar till att sprida resultat och skapa dialog med politiska eliter och civilsamhällesaktörer på nationell nivå, med internationella och regionala organisationer såväl som med olika biståndsaktörer. Inte minst europeiska biståndsgivare investerar ofantligt stora resurser för att främja regionalt samarbete i Afrika såväl som i Asien, och projektet är strukturerat för att i största möjliga utsträckning söka dialog och diskussion med framförallt de viktigaste europeiska biståndsgivarna — såsom EU, Tyskland, Sverige, Norge, Danmark, Storbritannien, Nederländerna, Belgien.

Dominant theories fail to explain the contradictory trends regarding how developing states respond to such challenges. In some policy fields, regional cooperation is weak despite strong norms and institutions promoting regional solutions, whereas in others, it is strong although no substantial norms or institutions support it. We claim that the key to explaining this puzzle lies in the understandings of national sovereignty that the involved states develop in specific policy fields. Our main proposition is that the level of cooperation on a given transboundary policy challenge depends on whether states redefine and transform their national sovereignty in a way that sees regional cooperation as enhancing rather than constraining state autonomy. Focusing on transboundary rivers and communicable diseases, the project analyzes and compares the national sovereignty understandings of states in Africa and Southeast Asia, and how they relate to ideas about regional cooperation.

The viruses are transmitted by mosquitoes in tropical regions, including many low-income countries. Most infected individuals recover, but in some cases joint pain may persist for several months or even years, and effects of outbreaks on working communities are devastating.Currently no antiviral therapies or vaccines have been approved for any alphavirus infection. In recent research, we showed that viral RNA replication is entirely dependent on interaction with the cellular protein G3BP. We propose to form a collaborative network to use structure-based methods to design compounds which would block viral interaction with G3BP, thus blocking replication of chikungunya virus and the others in the alphavirus group. We will test a number of compounds for antiviral activity, with the best performing compounds being used as templates to design improvements in a second generation of compounds. We will organise a number of meetings at each location and we will apply for further funds to expand our network in future years.Anti-alphaviral compounds would be of enormous benefit for global health, especially in regions of low or low-to-middle income. We hope that this collaboration network proposal will act as a seed for a very strong international network with the delivery of such a drug as our priority. Alfavirusen är en virusgrupp som har orsakat ett antal allvarliga sjukdomar hos miljontals människor under de senaste decennierna. Virusen överförs av myggor i världens tropiska regioner, inklusive Syd- och Centralamerika, Subsahariska Afrika, indiska subkontinenten och Sydostasien. Många av de berörda länderna är låginkomstländer med redan överbelastade hälsovårdssystem. Ett särskilt viktigt exempel är chikungunya virus, orsakssambandet till chikungunya feber, som kännetecknas av symtom som svår ledsmärta, feber, utslag och artrit. De flesta infekterade individer återhämtar sig, men i vissa fall kan smärta vara kvar i flera månader eller till och med år, så effekterna av utbrott på arbetssamhällen kan vara förödande.För närvarande har inga antivirala terapier eller vacciner godkänts för alfavirusinfektion, vilket tyder på det nödvändiga behovet av mer grundforskning om virusfamiljen såväl som målinriktad utveckling av antivirala läkemedel. Nuvarande kontrollåtgärder med inriktning på att hämma myggöverföring och behandling av patienter är begränsade till lättnad av symtom. Framsteg i utvecklingen av antivirala läkemedel för dessa infektioner har varit långsam av flera orsaker. Eftersom tidpunkten och platserna för virusutbrott är oförutsägbara och att de tenderar att förekomma i länder och regioner med begränsade resurser har intresset från läkemedelsföretag varit begränsat. Hämmande utveckling av terapier är också bristen på strukturella data på det virala replikationskomplexet och interaktioner med värdcellproteiner.Ny forskning från McInerney-laboratoriet vid Karolinska Institutet har identifierat en svaghet i tillväxtmekanismerna hos alfavirus som vi föreslår kan utnyttjas för att utveckla en eller flera molekyler som kan hämna infektionen och bota infekterade patienter. Virusproteinet nsP3 binds till ett cellulärt protein som heter G3BP och använder det i replikationen av virala genomerna. Utan denna interaktion kan viruset inte föröka sig. Tillsammans med Tomar-laboratoriet vid Indiska Tekniska Institutet föreslår vi att bilda ett samarbetsnätverk för att använda rationella strukturbaserade metoder för att utforma läkemedel som skulle hämna viral replikation genom att blockera viral proteininteraktion med värdcellproteinet G3BP. Vi förväntar oss att sådana läkemedel skulle verka för att blockera infektion med chikungunyavirus och de andra i alfavirusgruppen.Vi kommer att testa ett antal molekyler för effekter på proteinkomplexet och antivirala effekter. De bäst fungerande molekyler kommer att användas som mallar för att designa förbättringar i en andra generation av molekyler. Förutom labarbete, kommer vi att organisera möten på KI och i Indien så att medlemmarna i varje forskningsgrupp kan nätverka med varandra och andra forskare vid värdinstituten. Vi kommer att ansöka om ytterligare medel för att expandera vårt nätverk i framtida år.En anti-alfaviralt läkemedel skulle vara en enorm fördel för global hälsa, särskilt i regioner med låginkomst. Vår forskning har gett oss en stor fördel i jakten på en specifik, potent och säker behandling. Vi hoppas att detta nätverk för samarbete kommer att fungera som ett frö för ett starkt internationellt nätverk med leverans av ett sådant läkemedel som vår prioritet.

The morbidity/mortality is considerable, not least in Sub-Saharan Africa. No effective treatment or vaccine exist. We will develop anti-RSV therapy from drug discovery onwards through epidemiological investigation by collaboration with Mozambique.Purpose and aims: i/ to understand the epidemiology of RSV respiratory infection in children in Mozambique and in Sweden, as groundwork for future antiviral treatment; ii/ to identify viral and host factors including antibody respone of importance for pathogenesis of RSV infection; and iii/to elucidate the efficacy, safety and molecular mechanism of action of our lead anti-RSV compound.Work plan: We have formed a research network within infectious disease epidemiology and drug discovery with collaborators from Maputo, Stockholm and Gothenburg. We will analyze retrospective data from our studies om respiratory infections dominated by RSV, and perform prospective studies in both countries, with focus on genetic diversity in both pathogen and host, and on antibody responses that might lead to more  severe symptoms. The methodology includes molecular epidemiology and diagnostics in humans, as well as cell biology and chemistry to define drug mechanisms. Novel seroassays will be developed. The time plan is linked to mutual PhD programs and encompasses 4 years. Importance: Treatment of RSV will improve child health globally. Respiratoriskt syncytiellt virus (RSV) är globalt sett den vanligaste orsaken till lunginflammation hos barn under 2 år. Man beräknar att RSV orsakar cirka 200.000 dödsfall årligen, och barn i låginkomstländer är speciellt drabbade. Behandlingen är endast symtomlindrande då verksamma antivirala läkemedel saknas. Det finns heller inga möjligheter att vaccinera mot RSV-infektion, då tidigare immuniseringsförsök ledde till svårare infektion istället för hälsa hos deltagarna. Uppkomst av antikroppar som gynnar infektion (AGI) med RSV istället för att ge skydd har angetts som en trolig förklaring till vaccinmisslyckandet, och ett liknande förhållande har föreslagits gälla för Denguevirus. Epidemiologin vid RSV-infektioner är ofullständigt känd, och huruvida dess två varianter, RSV A och B, samverkar med eller motverkar varandra är inte studerat. Vi befarar på goda grunder, precis som vad fallet verkar vara för Denguevirusinfektioner, att antikroppar mot en subtyp (t.ex. RSV-A) kan ge svårare förlopp vid infektion med den andra subtypen (t.ex. RSV-A).Det aktuella projektet har som syfte att utveckla en verksam behandling mot RSV. Vi har upptäckt en substans (c52), som är verksam mot RSV i cellkultursförsök i låg koncentration och som har låg toxicitet (giftighetsgrad). Substansen betecknas som en läkemedelskandidat. Vi vill därför utveckla c52 till ett framtida läkemedel mot RSV för global användning. För att möjliggöra en sådan läkemedelsutveckling behövs mer kunskap om epidemiologin vid RSV-infektion.I Mocambique har nyligen en omfattande kartläggning skett av RSV-infektion hos barn Våra preliminära resultat talar för att c52 motverkar RSV-infektion genom att blockera ett humant protein, nämligen receptorn för tillväxtfaktorn EGF. Fyndet är lovande eftersom det är svårt att utveckla resistens mot sådana antimikrobiella läkemedel som använder värdproteiner. Å andra sidan kan naturlig resistens förekomma om värdmutationer föreligger. Vi avser därför att genetiskt kartlägga EGF-receptorn hos patienterna i våra prospektiva studier för att undersöka om alla RSV-infekterade kan komma att ha nytta av den nya behandlingen.Vidare vill vi försöka förstå den bristfälliga immuniteten vid RSV-infektion, vilket skapat problem vid vaccinutveckling. Vi vill undersöka om antikroppar efter naturlig RSV-infektion har en skyddande effekt, eller om AGI föreligger. Av särskilt intresse är att fastställa sådana gynnande effekter av antikroppar mot RSV-A för infektion av cellkultur med RSV-B, och vice versa. Någon typ-specifik RSV-serologi av detta slag finns ej tillgänglig idag, och ett av projektets delmål är att utveckla sådan metodik. Metodutvecklingen ger ”på köpet” en möjlighet att rena fram sådana RSV-typspecifika antikroppar för att undersöka deras funktion m.a.p. AGI.Slutligen vill vi ytterligare klarlägga verkningsmekanismen för c52. Detta sker genom speciella cellkulturer där humana celler odlas så att de liknar det normalt ytskikt i luftträdet, vilket är RSVs målområde i kroppen. Vidare ämnar vi testa c52 i djurmodell, eftersom en gynnsam effekt in vivo är en förutsättning för vidare läkemedelsutveckling.Projektet baseras på ett mångårigt och fruktbart epidemiologiskt samarbete mellan Folkhälsomyndigheten/KI och forskare i Mocambique. Genom att kombinera detta samarbete med expertis på virusdiagnostik och framställning av antivirala läkemedel har vi goda utsikter att lyckas med vårt mål att förbättra både behandling av infektion med RSV och att öka förståelsen för hur antikroppssvaret fungerar mot detta virus. Projektet kan komma att förbättra barns hälsa i låginkomstländer som Mocambique.

The morbidity/mortality is considerable, not least in Sub-Saharan Africa. No effective treatment or vaccine exist. We will develop anti-RSV therapy from drug discovery onwards through epidemiological investigation by collaboration with Mozambique.Purpose and aims: i/ to understand the epidemiology of RSV respiratory infection in children in Mozambique and in Sweden, as groundwork for future antiviral treatment; ii/ to identify viral and host factors including antibody respone of importance for pathogenesis of RSV infection; and iii/to elucidate the efficacy, safety and molecular mechanism of action of our lead anti-RSV compound.Work plan: We have formed a research network within infectious disease epidemiology and drug discovery with collaborators from Maputo, Stockholm and Gothenburg. We will analyze retrospective data from our studies om respiratory infections dominated by RSV, and perform prospective studies in both countries, with focus on genetic diversity in both pathogen and host, and on antibody responses that might lead to more  severe symptoms. The methodology includes molecular epidemiology and diagnostics in humans, as well as cell biology and chemistry to define drug mechanisms. Novel seroassays will be developed. The time plan is linked to mutual PhD programs and encompasses 4 years. Importance: Treatment of RSV will improve child health globally.

The smallholder production is generally characterized as a low input - low output system, where animal health investments are limited. Healthy animals are key to increased productivity and essential for sustainable and resilient development of sheep and goat production. The proposed initiative, bridging veterinary and social sciences, will lead to increased knowledge, technology and the long-term research partnerships needed to move sheep and goat health forward. We will i) investigate how animal health actors are influencing farmers´ decision-making on animal health investments, through true engagement of stakeholders using participatory epidemiological (PE) tools; ii) explore on-farm mortality of sheep and goats, by interviewing farmers, livestock extension and veterinary officers, and validate retrieved information through field necropsies and molecular diagnostics; and iii) investigate drivers playing a role when farmers decide to sell animals. The 2-year project will lead to strengthened capacity in PE, bioinformatics and high-throughput sequencing needed for long-term research partnerships on infectious diseases and health in sheep and goats. Based on generated knowledge we will identify needs for future research to improve sheep and goat health. Får och getter är vanliga husdjur i små lantbruk och för eget husbehov i Afrika, Mellanöstern och Asien. Djuren sköts ofta av kvinnor och småbruket utgör en viktig extrainkomst för dem och deras familjer. Denna sidoinkomst kan vara direkt avgörande för deras dagliga överlevnad och är ett viktigt led i demokratioch jämlikhetsutvecklingen. Smittsamma djursjukdomar såsom peste des petits ruminants (PPR) och smittsam lungsäcks- och lunginflammation hos get (CCPP) utgör emellertid allvarliga hinder för vidareutveckling av småbruken och har beskrivits som en viktig faktor som kan leda till kronisk fattigdom.I jämförelse med nötkreatur, som är relativt dyra, har även de fattigaste människorna på den afrikanska landsbygden råd att köpa får och getter. Dessa djur används ofta inom byteshandel, för ceremoniella ändamål, för att betala läkarbesök, med mera. Därför räknas de ofta inte med i den officiella ekonomin. Småbrukare har begränsade resurser och det kan därför vara svårt att prioritera investeringar i djurhälsa. Det kan även vara dålig tillgänglighet till veterinärer och andra rådgivare, och dessa prioriterar inte alltid får och get. Flera faktorer gör alltså att efterfrågan, nyttjandet och tillgången till djurhälsoservice är begränsad. För att kunna utveckla och anpassa djurhälsoservicen till småbrukares villkor, är det viktigt att veta vad som gör att småbrukare bestämmer sig för att investera i djurhälsa.Andelen djur som dör på grund av sjukdom är många gånger högre i låginkomstländer jämfört med hur det ser ut i höginkomstländer. Och även sjukdom och död hos ett enstaka djur kan ha allvarliga konsekvenser för en familjs levnadsvillkor. För får och get i låginkomstländer ligger dödligheten omkring 15% hos vuxna djur och mellan 22-24% för unga djur. Denna höga dödlighet leder till att djurägare förlorar ett djur för varje två djur som säljs. Förbättrad djurhälsa skulle därmed ge en kraftig förbättring av småbrukares ekonomi. Det saknas idag kunskap om dödsorsaker hos får och get i Tanzania och Zambia. Det finns nämligen endast svaga rapporteringssystem för sjukdom och dödlighet. För att kunna stödja småbrukare på bästa sätt och ge de mest adekvata råden för att förbättra djurhälsa och djurhållning, är det viktigt att ha kunskap om bakomliggande orsaker till varför får och getter dör på gården.Får och getter är viktiga tillgångar för småbrukare och används ofta som en resurs för oväntade utgifter. Djuren kan användas för byteshandel, eller säljas för att kunna betala läkarbesök och barnens skolavgifter, mm. Det är inte alltid en uppenbar fördel att sälja de friskaste och starkaste djuren, eftersom det inte är någon garanti att det inbringar ett högre marknadspris. Friska, starka och reproduktiva djur behålls antagligen hellre än svaga djur, i och med att det ger en bättre avkastning. Att sälja sjuka djur kan dock innebära att smittor sprids. De drivkrafter som finns bakom småbrukares beslut att sälja djur och vilka djur som säljs, är därför viktiga att förstå.I detta projekt kommer vi att undersöka hur olika aktörer påverkar djurägares beslut att investera i djurhälsa. Vi kommer här att använda oss av så kallad deltagardriven forskning, där djurägare och andra aktörer inom djurhälsa själva aktivt deltar i till exempel diskussionsgrupper och intervjuer. Dessutom kommer vi studera orsaker till dödsfall hos får och get genom intervjuer, fältobduktioner och molekylärdiagnostik. Vi kommer vidare att undersöka de drivkrafter som finns bakom småbrukares beslut att sälja djur och vilka djur de beslutar sig för att sälja.Projektet syftar framför allt till att skapa och stärka forskningssamarbeten mellan svenska forskare och forskare i Tanzania och Zambia. Vi har idag redan goda samarbeten i regionen som vi vill bygga vidare på. Projektet samlar forskare med expertis inom både veterinärmedicin och samhällsvetenskap. Det tvärvetenskapliga samarbetet i projektet bidrar till mer lokalt relevanta och tillförlitliga forskningsresultat. Resultaten kommer att leda till ökad förståelse för hur vi ska få friskare får och getter och bekämpa smittsamma djursjukdomar, vilket är viktiga led i fattigdomsbekämpning och tryggad livsmedelsförsörjning.

Flera faktorer gör alltså att efterfrågan, nyttjandet och tillgången till djurhälsoservice är begränsad. För att kunna utveckla och anpassa djurhälsoservicen till småbrukares villkor, är det viktigt att veta vad som gör att småbrukare bestämmer sig för att investera i djurhälsa.Andelen djur som dör på grund av sjukdom är många gånger högre i låginkomstländer jämfört med hur det ser ut i höginkomstländer. Och även sjukdom och död hos ett enstaka djur kan ha allvarliga konsekvenser för en familjs levnadsvillkor. För får och get i låginkomstländer ligger dödligheten omkring 15% hos vuxna djur och mellan 22-24% för unga djur. Denna höga dödlighet leder till att djurägare förlorar ett djur för varje två djur som säljs. Förbättrad djurhälsa skulle därmed ge en kraftig förbättring av småbrukares ekonomi. Det saknas idag kunskap om dödsorsaker hos får och get i Tanzania och Zambia. Det finns nämligen endast svaga rapporteringssystem för sjukdom och dödlighet. För att kunna stödja småbrukare på bästa sätt och ge de mest adekvata råden för att förbättra djurhälsa och djurhållning, är det viktigt att ha kunskap om bakomliggande orsaker till varför får och getter dör på gården.Får och getter är viktiga tillgångar för småbrukare och används ofta som en resurs för oväntade utgifter. Djuren kan användas för byteshandel, eller säljas för att kunna betala läkarbesök och barnens skolavgifter, mm. Det är inte alltid en uppenbar fördel att sälja de friskaste och starkaste djuren, eftersom det inte är någon garanti att det inbringar ett högre marknadspris. Friska, starka och reproduktiva djur behålls antagligen hellre än svaga djur, i och med att det ger en bättre avkastning. Att sälja sjuka djur kan dock innebära att smittor sprids. De drivkrafter som finns bakom småbrukares beslut att sälja djur och vilka djur som säljs, är därför viktiga att förstå.I detta projekt kommer vi att undersöka hur olika aktörer påverkar djurägares beslut att investera i djurhälsa. Vi kommer här att använda oss av så kallad deltagardriven forskning, där djurägare och andra aktörer inom djurhälsa själva aktivt deltar i till exempel diskussionsgrupper och intervjuer. Dessutom kommer vi studera orsaker till dödsfall hos får och get genom intervjuer, fältobduktioner och molekylärdiagnostik. Vi kommer vidare att undersöka de drivkrafter som finns bakom småbrukares beslut att sälja djur och vilka djur de beslutar sig för att sälja.Projektet syftar framför allt till att skapa och stärka forskningssamarbeten mellan svenska forskare och forskare i Tanzania och Zambia. Vi har idag redan goda samarbeten i regionen som vi vill bygga vidare på. Projektet samlar forskare med expertis inom både veterinärmedicin och samhällsvetenskap. Det tvärvetenskapliga samarbetet i projektet bidrar till mer lokalt relevanta och tillförlitliga forskningsresultat. Resultaten kommer att leda till ökad förståelse för hur vi ska få friskare får och getter och bekämpa smittsamma djursjukdomar, vilket är viktiga led i fattigdomsbekämpning och tryggad livsmedelsförsörjning.

Researchers from GLD, Malawi, Tanzania and Zambia will prepare and implement projects based on novel survey data that GLD is collecting in ongoing research projects on social institutions, urbanization and local governance. GLD will provide training in survey analysis, and our in-country partners will provide grounded understanding and expertise on governance dynamics in their countries. All partners will engage in data analyses, writing academic articles and conference presentations. The collaboration proceeds as follows: 1) International project leaders based at research institutions in the three collaboration countries invite applications by junior scholars to participate in the research collaboration (January-February 2019); 2) the international project leaders and GLD team select two applicants from each country (March 2019): 3) all participants convene in a workshop to explore GLD data and develop research designs (July 2019); 4) all team members will implement research projects, conducting additional fieldwork as necessary (August-December 2019); 5) team members meet in exchange visits to work jointly on finalizing analyses and writing (January-March 2020); 6) participants present research at GLD’s Annual Conference (June 2020). Det föreslagna projektet ämnar undersöka urbaniseringens inverkan på hur olika samhällsinstitutioner (system av sociala normer och regler som skapar mänskliga beteendemönster) påverkar kvaliteten av offentlig tjänsteleverans i Malawi, Zambia och Tanzania. För att identifiera relevanta samhällsinstitutioner i en kontext där människor med olika traditioner möts, samt samhällsinstitutionernas samverkan med politiska institutioner och deras konsekvenserna för tjänsteleverans, föreslår GLD ett samarbete med lokala forskningsprogram i dessa tre länder. GLD vill därigenom utveckla kontextuellt relevanta teorier om lokal tjänsteleverans, samt skapa varaktiga samarbeten med forskningsinstitutioner i Malawi, Zambia och Tanzania för att främja kontinuerligt lärande och utbyte av idéer inom urbanisering och samhällsinstitutioner.    Forskarlag från GLD, Malawi, Zambia och Tanzania kommer att förbereda och genomföra projekt som bygger på originell data från pågående forskningsprojekt om sociala institutioner, urbanisering och lokal samhällsstyrning.

Samtliga parter kommer att arbeta med dataanalys, producera vetenskapliga artiklar och ge presentationer vid internationella konferenser.Samarbetet kommer att ske i sex stadier: 1) Internationella projektledare baserade vid forskningsinstitutioner i de tre samarbetsländerna delar med sig utav LGPI-verktyget och bjuder in forskarassistenter till att ansöka om att delta i samarbetet (Januari-Februari 2019); 2) de internationella projektledarna och GLD-teamet väljer ut två sökanden från varje land (Mars 2019); 3) samtliga deltagare samlas för en workshop för att utforska GLD-datan och arbeta fram forskningsdesigner (Juli 2019); 4) alla lagmedlemmar implementerar forskningsprojekt och fältarbete där detta är nödvändigt (Augusti-December 2019); 5) lagmedlemmarna träffas genom utbytesbesök för att samarbeta med att slutföra analyser och skrivande (Januari-Mars 2020); 6) deltagarna presenterar forskningen vid GLDs årliga konferens (Juni 2020).Genom att identifiera och undersöka samhällsinstitutioners påverkan i samband med urbanisering kommer det föreslagna projektet att generera viktiga insikter för att förbättra samhällsstyrning och tillhandahållande av tjänster i utvecklingsländer. I och med ökade resurser till lokala styrande organ till följd av decentraliseringsreformer är realiserandet av de globala målen för hållbar utveckling (identifierade av FN; inkluderar mål relaterade till att minska fattigdom, säkra tillgång på mat, hälsa och välbefinnande, god utbildning för alla och rent vatten och sanitet) i hög utsträckning beroende av dessa organs förmåga att effektivt allokera resurser och tillhandahålla tjänster.Utöver projektets vetenskapliga bidrag ser GLD att detta samarbete har potential att ha en positiv inverkan på fattigdomsbekämpning och hållbar utveckling, då projektet är centralt för att utveckla nya policyverktyg för att bekämpa fattigdom och bidra till hållbar utveckling.

In this project, an interdisciplinary team of political scientists and hydrologists will investigate extreme hazard events as potential triggers for changes in DRR policy and development. We perform a statistical, global-scale analysis of policy change after extreme events and, using the results, select two comparative case-studies of hazard-induced policy change in lower- and middle-income countries to analyse. Utilizing unique data on DRR policy implementation from 2007-2018, a new merged dataset of climate extremes and disasters, and material from interviews and public sources, we will document the extent to which these events prompt policy change worldwide and assess whether variations  can be explained by income-levels, event magnitude, regular exposure, diffusion effects, agenda-setting, political mobilization, and learning. By testing and specifying explanations for hazard-induced policy change, the results will significantly advance frontiers in natural hazard science, development studies, and public policy. The results will support international efforts to reduce disaster risks through the Sendai framework for DRR. Naturkatastrofer orsakar i genomsnitt 60,000 dödsoffer varje år och ekonomiska skador för 350 miljarder dollar. Stormar, översvämningar, torka och andra extrema väderhändelser står för majoriteten av dessa kostnader och drabbar särskilt utvecklingsländer där antalet dödsoffer och kostnaderna är betydligt större än i rikare delar av världen. Sendai-ramverket för katastrofriskreducering har som mål att minska dessa kostnader till år 2030 och uppmanar länder att vidta åtgärder för att minska risken för och mildra konsekvenserna av framtida katastrofer.Att extrema väderhändelser utvecklas till katastrofer beror på samhällens sårbarhet, vilket bottnar i fattigdom, låg ekonomisk utveckling och bristande samhällsplanering. Därför krävs omfattande förändringar av policy, vilket samtidigt bromsas av starka intressen, lagstiftning och tröga förvaltningssystem. Kriser och katastrofer kan tillfälligt undanröja dessa hinder och skapa möjligheter för mer omfattande förändringar av lagar, regler, institutioner och planer. Detta är en etablerad insikt inom Sendai-ramverket, som uppmanar länder att bättre utnyttja erfarenheter från naturkatastrofer i syfte att utveckla åtgärder för att minska katastrofrisker. Fallstudier visar emellertid att bara vissa naturkatastrofer medför förändringar av policy. Forskningen har samtidigt begränsats av bristfälliga data dels över extrema väderhändelser, dels för policyutveckling i olika länder. Det saknas därför kunskap om hur och varför naturkatastrofer leder till policyförändringar i syfte att minska katastrofrisker.Syftet med projektet TRAMPOLINE är att ta fram ny kunskap om hur och varför extrema väderhändelser skapar möjligheter för länder att utveckla policy för att stärka arbetet med katastrofriskreducering. Vi gör detta genom en helt unik global undersökning av sambandet mellan extrema väderhändelser och policyförändringar på nationell nivå. Studien omfattar åren 2007-2018 och genomförs med hjälp av nya data från databaser över extrema väderhändelser och länders implementering av åtgärder givna av Sendai-ramverket. Genom att kombinera dessa data kan vi för första gången på global nivå studera om policyförändringar kan förklaras av omfattningen av väderhändelser, upprepade väderhändelser, länders utvecklingsnivå, och om erfarenheter sprids mellan länder. I nästa steg genomför vi två jämförande fallstudier av länder på samma utvecklingsnivå som utsatts för liknande väderhändelser, men där graden av policyförändring skiljt sig åt. Målet med denna del av projektet är att granska och utveckla mer detaljerade förklaringar av skillnader i policyförändring, exempelvis lärande, ansvarsutkrävande, och mobilisering av intressen.Dessa studier förutsätter en kombination samhällsvetenskaplig forskning om policyskapande och naturvetenskaplig forskning om extrema väderhändelser.

It will allow African scientists to engage in applied bio-photonics with applications relevant to their local communities within the areas of medicine, agriculture and environment. The proposal is based on the combination of advanced knowledge of bio-photonics and laser diagnostics together with the flourishing 3D printing / Do-It-Yourself craftsmanship and Open Source Hardware comunity. Several low-cost realistic instruments are proposed, all exceeding the sophistication and applications of conventional and commercially available instruments. A small taskforce specialized in laser instrumentation at Lund University will prepare and ship necessary components and tools for a yearly workshops in Africa. The workshops are organized by the African Spectral Imaging Network (AFSIN) and include participants from laboratories from ten African countries. The participants will be trained to build and use their own scientific instruments and following the workshops, they bring the instruments to their laboratories where they form the basis for master and doctorate thesis work within applied physics. Producing African doctors in their respective communities is the future for furthering higher education in this region. Enabling them with realistic instrument craftsmanship will have a multiplicative effect and impact Det är ingen nyhet att utvecklingen i Afrika, trots snabba framsteg, fortfarande ligger bakom resten av världen. En av de främsta orsakerna till detta är att kontinenten plågas av sjukdomar som rör både människor och många livsuppehållande grödor.

MPAs are globally supported by States, managers and scientists. However, they are not completely unproblematic and to date gender analysis of their impacts are missing. Studies tend to focus on ecology and men dominated activities. This research will investigate the impacts of MPAs from a gender perspective (focus on men and women) and link to the SDG agenda. The research will create generic models of gender and MPAs and further, address 3 key questions about the gendered impacts of MPAs in 1) food security, 2) new job generation and 3) adaptive capacity to climate change. The social-ecological proposed research is multidisciplinary using methods like mapping and ecosystem sampling while the social aspects will be investigated with interviews and the diary method. Theoretically the research contributes to advances in gender, planning and marine conservation; as well as to principled governance. Also it contributes to social-ecological systems analyses in which the heterogeneity of resource users is first expressed by gender. A cross-country comparison of MPAs in Tanzania and Mexico will be done. This design allows to keep the ecological aspects constant while social and cultural vary. The country comparison illuminates aspects to create better and inclusive coastal governance. This type of research has been placed recently at the research frontier. Larmrapporterna om överutnyttjande av marina resurser, framför allt inom djuphavsfisket men även det kustnära fisket, kommer allt oftare. Detta är ett stort problem, särskilt för kustbefolkningar runt om i världen som är nästan helt beroende av marina resurser både för sin livsmedelssäkerhet som att generera inkomster. En alltmer vanligt förekommande åtgärd för att säkerställa hållbarheten är att inrätta marina reservat eller marina skyddade område där man t ex tillåts använda resurser i vissa förutbestämda zoner, under vissa tider på året, att man inför kvoter eller där resursanvändning är helt förbjudet.Resultaten så långt tycks peka på att marina reservat är lyckosamma särskilt i de utvecklade länderna där det finns andra utkomstmöjligheter för fiskare och andra resursanvändare medan situationen är mer problematisk i utvecklingsländerna där marina reservat kan vara ekologiska succéer men socialt inte alls.Samtidigt finns en tendens att se marint resursutnyttjande som en typisk manlig aktivitet, inte bara i hushållningen utan även i forskningen där det finns ett fokus på just fenfiske medan aktiviteter där kvinnor är verksamma hittills i stort negligerats. Det kan handla om plockning av musslor, fiska små fiskar med enkla metoder, odla alger, bereda fisk och laga nät.Projektet söker komma till rätta med detta genom att undersöka hur kvinnor respektive män i de berörda områdena påverkas av marina reservat. Det är mycket viktigt att undersöka hur kvinnor och män resursanvändning har påverkats av inrättandet av marina reservat. Vi vill veta hur män och kvinnor lever i dessa områden, och hur de påverkas av de nya reservaten. Hur födasäkerhet förändrats? Har man skapat nya och viktiga jobb? Har människors situation har förbättrats så att de är mera adaptiva och motståndskraftiga mot klimatförändringar? Hur kan man göra det bättre för både män och kvinnor? Dessa aktuella och viktiga frågor söker projektet svar på i en jämförelse av fiskebyar inom och utanför ett antal marina reservat i två länder, Mexiko och Tanzania. Dessa länder ligger i tropikerna och de har ekosystem som väldigt mycket liknar varandra, medan det är stora skillnader när det gäller sociala och kulturella faktorer. Ekosystemen i de olika områdena kartläggs med metoder som kartografi, mätningar och observationer med hjälp av dykning och snorkling, men också med hjälp av intervjuer med lokalbefolkningarna.  Vi ska också använda den så kallade ”Dagsbok metod” i vilket människorna skriver varje dag viktig information, som vad har de gjort, vad de har ätit, mm. Detta är viktigt för att information som kommer varje dag blir alltmer tillförlitliga. Projektet förväntas bidra till en förbättrad förståelse, planering och implementering av de globala målen (SDG) som FN tillsammans med de flesta länder har kommit överens om. Vi hoppas att projektet bidrar till ett bättre liv och bättre resursanvändning i dessa viktiga kustområden.

MPAs are globally supported by States, managers and scientists. However, they are not completely unproblematic and to date gender analysis of their impacts are missing. Studies tend to focus on ecology and men dominated activities. This research will investigate the impacts of MPAs from a gender perspective (focus on men and women) and link to the SDG agenda. The research will create generic models of gender and MPAs and further, address 3 key questions about the gendered impacts of MPAs in 1) food security, 2) new job generation and 3) adaptive capacity to climate change. The social-ecological proposed research is multidisciplinary using methods like mapping and ecosystem sampling while the social aspects will be investigated with interviews and the diary method.

Larmrapporterna om överutnyttjande av marina resurser, framför allt inom djuphavsfisket men även det kustnära fisket, kommer allt oftare. Detta är ett stort problem, särskilt för kustbefolkningar runt om i världen som är nästan helt beroende av marina resurser både för sin livsmedelssäkerhet som att generera inkomster. En alltmer vanligt förekommande åtgärd för att säkerställa hållbarheten är att inrätta marina reservat eller marina skyddade område där man t ex tillåts använda resurser i vissa förutbestämda zoner, under vissa tider på året, att man inför kvoter eller där resursanvändning är helt förbjudet.Resultaten så långt tycks peka på att marina reservat är lyckosamma särskilt i de utvecklade länderna där det finns andra utkomstmöjligheter för fiskare och andra resursanvändare medan situationen är mer problematisk i utvecklingsländerna där marina reservat kan vara ekologiska succéer men socialt inte alls.Samtidigt finns en tendens att se marint resursutnyttjande som en typisk manlig aktivitet, inte bara i hushållningen utan även i forskningen där det finns ett fokus på just fenfiske medan aktiviteter där kvinnor är verksamma hittills i stort negligerats. Det kan handla om plockning av musslor, fiska små fiskar med enkla metoder, odla alger, bereda fisk och laga nät.Projektet söker komma till rätta med detta genom att undersöka hur kvinnor respektive män i de berörda områdena påverkas av marina reservat. Det är mycket viktigt att undersöka hur kvinnor och män resursanvändning har påverkats av inrättandet av marina reservat. Vi vill veta hur män och kvinnor lever i dessa områden, och hur de påverkas av de nya reservaten. Hur födasäkerhet förändrats? Har man skapat nya och viktiga jobb? Har människors situation har förbättrats så att de är mera adaptiva och motståndskraftiga mot klimatförändringar? Hur kan man göra det bättre för både män och kvinnor? Dessa aktuella och viktiga frågor söker projektet svar på i en jämförelse av fiskebyar inom och utanför ett antal marina reservat i två länder, Mexiko och Tanzania. Dessa länder ligger i tropikerna och de har ekosystem som väldigt mycket liknar varandra, medan det är stora skillnader när det gäller sociala och kulturella faktorer.

Does it matter to the ways we understand, prevent and redress the harms of rape that some occur in zones of relative peace, and some in zones of active armed conflict? Indeed, there has been a marked divergence in the explanatory frames for explaining rape in peacetime in relation to wartime rape among scholars and advocates alike. In this project, we address this question through in-depth studies of the forms, contexts and logics of sexual violence in four different sites, two of which are clearly deeply entrenched warzones (Uvira Provence in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Kashmir, in India) and two that are characterized by long-time peaceful relations and the lack of armed conflict (Mai-Ndombe in the DRC and South Delhi, India). Drawing on the uniquely grounded experience of the investigators, the project will thus produce novel insights on the continuum and non-continuum of sexual violence between war and peace. In addition to providing original empirical data on how the forms, contexts and logics of sexual violence differ and converge by collecting original data in two countries (the DRC and India), it also seeks to enhance our understanding of the frames that limits our abilities/willingness to note and address continuances of violence.

Women and children, especially in low-income settings, are exposed to several toxic compounds, including arsenic (As) and cadmium (Cd) from food and polycyclic aromatic compounds (PAHs) from burning of fossil fuels for cooking and heating, many of which have endocrine disrupting properties. We therefore aim to clarify if early-life exposure to As, Cd and PAHs is affecting growth and puberty development in adolescence. This will be accomplished by studies in a mother-child cohort (MINIMat) in rural Bangladesh in collaboration with several universities and icddr,b, Bangladesh. Exposure to As and Cd is already measured in urine from mothers in pregnancy and their children at 10 years. Measurements of PAHs will be conducted in the corresponding bio-banked urine samples (n=1000). Data on puberty from 11-14 years and data on growth from birth to pre-pubertal age, during puberty, and at 15 years is availible. In addition, we will also measure different hormones related to growth and reproduction in blood collected at 15 years. Consequences of co-exposures to metals and PAHs will be evaluated in combination with effect modification by gender and nutrition. This 4-year project will provide insight into common environmental exposures and effects on adolescent health in low-income settings, enabling future public health strategies to reduce exposures and improve health. Exponering för toxiska ämnen under känsliga perioder i utvecklingen, till exempel under fosterstadiet och barndomen, kan orsaka hälsoeffekter senare i livet. Kvinnor och barn utgör därför känsliga grupper i befolkningen, speciellt i utvecklingsländer där exponeringen ibland är hög för vissa miljöföroreningar och kemikalier och många är dessutom undernärda vilket kan bidra till en ökad känslighet för effekter av olika miljöföroreningar. Många av dessa miljöföroreningar är klassificerade som endokrinstörande ämnen, dvs att de efterliknar kroppens egna hormoner och kan därigenom störa kroppens normal hormonella reglering, vilket i sin tur kan ge allvarliga effekter på barns utveckling så som hämmad tillväxt och/eller förtidig eller försenad pubertetsutveckling. Detta är i sin tur kända riskfaktorer för att drabbas av olika kroniska sjukdomar senare i livet. Förekomsten av kroniska sjukdomar som till exempel härtkärlsjukdom, cancer och diabetes har ökat kraftig i olika utvecklingsländer under de senaste åren. I dagsläget är kunskapen rörande många endokrinstörandeämnen och eventuella effekter på tillväxt och pubertetsutveckling begränsad till experimentella djurstudier och ett fåtal småskaliga humanstudier. I detta 4-åriga forskningsprojekt kommer vi att undersöka om exponering för tre olika endokrinstörande ämnen, två olika metaller (arsenik och kadmium) och polycykliska aromatiska kolväten (PAHer), under fosterstadiet och barndomen kan påverka barns tillväxt och pubertetsutveckling under tonåren. Dessa studier kommer att utföras i en mamma-barn kohort kallad MIMIMat som har etablerats i ett lanligt område i Bangladesh genom ett samarbete mellan flera olika univeristet och icddr,b i Bangladesh som är ett stort sjukhus i huvudstaden Dhaka. Mammorna rekryterades till studien redan i början av graviditeten och därefter har vi följt upp deras barn vid upprepade tillfällen och den senaste uppföljningen vid 15-års ålder kommer att avslutas under hösten 2018. Vi har tidigare visat att mammorna och deras barn är exponerade för arsenik och kadmium via mat och dricksvatten och att dessa exponeringar har hämmat barnens tillväxt upp till 5 års ålder. I en mindre pilotstudie har vi även kunnat påvisa att mammorna har exponerats för höga halter av PAHer under graviditeten. Den troliga källan till denna PAH exponering är eldning av fossila bränslen i hemmet för uppvärmning och matlagning, vilket kan resultera i höga halter i luften både inomhus och utomhus. En del av PAH exponering kommer troligen även via maten. Inom ramen för MINIMat kohorten har utförlig information om nutrition, olika hälsoparametrar samt urin och blodprover samlats från de gravida mammorna och deras barn under upprepade tillfällen. Exponeringen för arsenik och kadmium har redan mätts i urinprover från 1500 mammor under graviteten och från deras barnen vid 10-års ålder.

Women and children, especially in low-income settings, are exposed to several toxic compounds, including arsenic (As) and cadmium (Cd) from food and polycyclic aromatic compounds (PAHs) from burning of fossil fuels for cooking and heating, many of which have endocrine disrupting properties. We therefore aim to clarify if early-life exposure to As, Cd and PAHs is affecting growth and puberty development in adolescence. This will be accomplished by studies in a mother-child cohort (MINIMat) in rural Bangladesh in collaboration with several universities and icddr,b, Bangladesh. Exposure to As and Cd is already measured in urine from mothers in pregnancy and their children at 10 years. Measurements of PAHs will be conducted in the corresponding bio-banked urine samples (n=1000). Data on puberty from 11-14 years and data on growth from birth to pre-pubertal age, during puberty, and at 15 years is availible. In addition, we will also measure different hormones related to growth and reproduction in blood collected at 15 years. Consequences of co-exposures to metals and PAHs will be evaluated in combination with effect modification by gender and nutrition. This 4-year project will provide insight into common environmental exposures and effects on adolescent health in low-income settings, enabling future public health strategies to reduce exposures and improve health. Exponering för toxiska ämnen under känsliga perioder i utvecklingen, till exempel under fosterstadiet och barndomen, kan orsaka hälsoeffekter senare i livet. Kvinnor och barn utgör därför känsliga grupper i befolkningen, speciellt i utvecklingsländer där exponeringen ibland är hög för vissa miljöföroreningar och kemikalier och många är dessutom undernärda vilket kan bidra till en ökad känslighet för effekter av olika miljöföroreningar. Många av dessa miljöföroreningar är klassificerade som endokrinstörande ämnen, dvs att de efterliknar kroppens egna hormoner och kan därigenom störa kroppens normal hormonella reglering, vilket i sin tur kan ge allvarliga effekter på barns utveckling så som hämmad tillväxt och/eller förtidig eller försenad pubertetsutveckling. Detta är i sin tur kända riskfaktorer för att drabbas av olika kroniska sjukdomar senare i livet. Förekomsten av kroniska sjukdomar som till exempel härtkärlsjukdom, cancer och diabetes har ökat kraftig i olika utvecklingsländer under de senaste åren. I dagsläget är kunskapen rörande många endokrinstörandeämnen och eventuella effekter på tillväxt och pubertetsutveckling begränsad till experimentella djurstudier och ett fåtal småskaliga humanstudier. I detta 4-åriga forskningsprojekt kommer vi att undersöka om exponering för tre olika endokrinstörande ämnen, två olika metaller (arsenik och kadmium) och polycykliska aromatiska kolväten (PAHer), under fosterstadiet och barndomen kan påverka barns tillväxt och pubertetsutveckling under tonåren. Dessa studier kommer att utföras i en mamma-barn kohort kallad MIMIMat som har etablerats i ett lanligt område i Bangladesh genom ett samarbete mellan flera olika univeristet och icddr,b i Bangladesh som är ett stort sjukhus i huvudstaden Dhaka. Mammorna rekryterades till studien redan i början av graviditeten och därefter har vi följt upp deras barn vid upprepade tillfällen och den senaste uppföljningen vid 15-års ålder kommer att avslutas under hösten 2018. Vi har tidigare visat att mammorna och deras barn är exponerade för arsenik och kadmium via mat och dricksvatten och att dessa exponeringar har hämmat barnens tillväxt upp till 5 års ålder. I en mindre pilotstudie har vi även kunnat påvisa att mammorna har exponerats för höga halter av PAHer under graviditeten. Den troliga källan till denna PAH exponering är eldning av fossila bränslen i hemmet för uppvärmning och matlagning, vilket kan resultera i höga halter i luften både inomhus och utomhus. En del av PAH exponering kommer troligen även via maten. Inom ramen för MINIMat kohorten har utförlig information om nutrition, olika hälsoparametrar samt urin och blodprover samlats från de gravida mammorna och deras barn under upprepade tillfällen. Exponeringen för arsenik och kadmium har redan mätts i urinprover från 1500 mammor under graviteten och från deras barnen vid 10-års ålder. I detta projekt kommer vi även att mäta halterna av olika nedbrytningsprodukter till PAH i 1000 stycken av dessa uinprover som finns sparade i en bio-bank. Dessa mätningar kommer att användas som ett mått på exponeringen under forsterperioden och barndomen. När barnen var 11-14 år så samlde man in data om pubertetsutveckling.

Vi anser att det är viktigt att förstå individuella och sociala uppfattningar av risk bland de boende som bor i informella bostadsområden, och som utgör några av de fattigaste invånarna i samhället.

Svaren på dessa frågor kommer sannolikt att vara väldigt betydelsefulla för hur effektiva statens försök att mildra och dämpa klimatförändringar är, och kommer att bli.Den andra faktorn handlar om att det är viktigt att förstå hur vanliga uppfattningar vad gäller risk relaterar till attityder gentemot rättsstaten i de informella bostadsområdena(som ofta benämns som de boendes ”juridiska samvete”).

Kulturella uppfattningar omrättsliga processer i informella bostadsområden utgör en komplex kontext för staten att agera i. Formella statliga institutioner är ofta svaga i dessa områden. Statliga lagar och regler kan mötas med motstånd, ignoreras, eller uppfattas som misstänksamma av de boende.

Economic historians have shown that the current economic boom is not unique. Africa has experienced several longer periods of economic growth in the 20th century, driven by increased value of exports of non-refined commodities and minerals. These booms were followed by longer periods of economic stagnation. Why were previous booms not sustained? There are important historical lessons to learn from past failures. We hypothesis that the failed booms were due to weak intra- and inter-sectoral linkages between the export and the domestic sectors. We test our hypothesis by using a modified version of existing theories of linkages and economic development that we place in a political economy framework. To identify the linkages we use two well-known methods in economic history that have never before been applied to Africa, i.e. indexing economic activity and measure changes in the occupational structures. We move on and compare the historical studies with current cases to identify similarities and differences. The project will contribute both to research and policy. Analsying the interaction between export and domestic sectors and how policies affect these enable us to identify accurate policy measures to ensure that current and future export-booms in Africa are translated into broad based economic development and welfare gains for the African populations. Under senare år har flera länder i Afrika uppvisat hög ekonomisk tillväxt. Är detta ett tecken på att kontinenten äntligen håller på att växa ur fattigdom? Perioder av stark tillväxt i Afrika är inget nytt fenomen. Ekonomisk-historiker har identifierar flera perioder av tillväxt i olika afrikanska länder under 1900-talet, ledd av ökade inkomster från exporten av icke-förädlade tropiska produkter och/eller mineraler. Vad de har gemensamt är att de följts av längre perioder av ekonomisk stagnation. Hur kan vi förklara varför tidigare perioder av tillväxt inte varit hållbara? Vår utgångspunkt är att svaret på frågan är av relevans för bedömningen av hållbarheten i den nuvarande ekonomiska utvecklingen i Afrika. Genom att lära oss av de historiska misslyckandena kan vi identifiera vad som behöver göras för att inte upprepas. Vår hypotes är att de historiska misslyckandena berodde på svaga länkeffekter mellan exportsektorerna och den inhemska ekonomin. Istället för att bidra till en hållbar ekonomisk utveckling leder exportboomerna till en förstärkning av så kallade dualistiska strukturer där det ökade värdet på exporten koncentreras till exportsektorn. När den globala efterfrågan sviktar så försvagas exportsektorn och på grund av att boomen inte lyckats skapa en ökad diversifiering av ekonomin så innebär det att landets ekonomi stagnerar. Mycket har tidigare skrivits om exportsektorerna och dess roll för den ekonomsika utvecklingen i 1900-talets Afrika. Det här projektet är emellertid det första som systematiskt kommer att analysera effekterna på de lokala ekonomierna över tid och rum. En avgörande utmaning för ett projekt som detta är att analysera vad som händer i den lokala ekonomin. Vi prövar detta genom att använda en modifierad version av existerande ekonomisk teori om länkeffekter och ekonomisk utveckling som vi sätter i ett politisk-ekonomiskt ramverk. Anledningen till det senare är att det är fullt möjligt att de potentiella länkarna mellan sektorer är starka men att förd politik försvagar dem. Vår utgångspunkt är att den förda politiken är delvis en effekt på relationen mellan staten och styrkan bland de intressegrupper som representerar olika delar av ekonomin. Brist på data i allmänheten och det faktum att det stora flertalet är involverade i den informella ekonomin där traditionell ekonomisk data är obefintlig gör att vi måste tänka innovativt. Databristen gör att vi inte kommer att kunna identifiera länkeffekterna direkt. Istället får vi använda oss av indirekta sätt att studera relationerna mellan de ekonomiska sektorerna. Vi kombinerar två metoder vanligt förekommande i ekonomisk historia men aldrig prövad för Afrika, nämligen skattningar av sysselsättningsstruktur med indexering av ekonomisk aktivitet. Den mest pålitliga information för förändringar i den informella ekonomin utgörs av antalet anställda. Vi använder oss av dessa data och skapar tidsserier för att se de relativa förändringarna i de olika sektorerna i formella ekonomin. För den informella ekonomin så får vi använda oss av indirekt information. I ett första steg skapar tidserier av data som har en direkt koppling till ekonomisk aktivitet, t ex transporter av varor., jordbruksavkastning, jordareal under jordbruksproduktion. Rör dessa sig i samma riktning så är det ett tecken på allmän ökad ekonomisk aktivitet. Genom statistiska metoder kan vi sedan skatta i vilken utsträckning de rör sig i samma riktning och vilka sektorer som förklarar den största delen av den ekonomiska aktiviteten. På det sättet kan vi analysera hur den informella sektorn påverkas och vilka sektorer som påverkas mest. De historiska fallen använder vi sedan som utgångspunkt när vi analyserar dagens ekonomiska utvecklingsprocesser. Projektet bidrar till både forskning och policy. Genom att analysera länkeffekterna och politikens påverkan på dessa skapar vi ett evidensbaserat underlag för politiker och biståndsgivare att utforma policy som möjliggör att effekterna av dagens exporttillväxt sprider sig till andra sektorer. Detta är grunden för en hållbar ekonomisk utveckling karakteriserad av minskad fattigdom och ökade ekonomiska möjligheter för det stora flertalet.

På det sättet kan vi analysera hur den informella sektorn påverkas och vilka sektorer som påverkas mest. De historiska fallen använder vi sedan som utgångspunkt när vi analyserar dagens ekonomiska utvecklingsprocesser. Projektet bidrar till både forskning och policy. Genom att analysera länkeffekterna och politikens påverkan på dessa skapar vi ett evidensbaserat underlag för politiker och biståndsgivare att utforma policy som möjliggör att effekterna av dagens exporttillväxt sprider sig till andra sektorer. Detta är grunden för en hållbar ekonomisk utveckling karakteriserad av minskad fattigdom och ökade ekonomiska möjligheter för det stora flertalet.

We aim to initiate research to prevent this high number of stillbirths and neonatal deaths by forming a consortium of researchers working in large referral hospitals in East Africa. We aim to define and innovate interventions and perform implementation research focused on the recently published new intrapartum care guidelines of the World Health Organisations. Respectful intrapartum care shall be in the centre, and we will assess the potential of lactate point-of-care testing to diagnose hypoxia and fetal monitoring using the new Moyo Fetal Heart Rate Monitor.Network partners are Makerere University and Iganga hospital, Uganda, Muhimbili University Hospital and Aga Khan University, Tanzania, the College of Medicine in Blantyre, Malawi and Hospital Central Maputo, Mozambique. During the two-year period for which we apply for funding we aim to 1) innovate implementation packages to improve the provision of safe and respectful intrapartum care; 2) review present systems of perinatal data collection or e-registries in identified hospitals 3; investigate into the feasibility of improved diagnosis of peripartum hypoxia using umbilical cord lactate measurement; and 4) prepare jointly research questions and applications.

Vi planerar nu att bygga upp ett forskningsnätverk mellan universitetssjukhus i östra och södra Afrika i syfte att arbeta fram modeller för förbättringsarbete av förlossningsvården.Projektet utgår från hälsosystemforskning där vi kommer att utforma nya åtgärdspaket i linje med WHO’s nyligen publicerades rekommendationer för förlossningsvård. Vi avser vidare att utvärderas landspecifika och generella processmått som möjliggör jämförelser. Mer specifikt kommer vi utveckla åtgärdspaket och därvid först bedöma användbarheten och effekten av laktat (mjölksyra) mätning i navelsträngsblod för att diagnostisera syrebrist samt användning av ett nytt enkelt instrument, Moyo Fetal Heart Rate Monitor, för fosterövervakning.

ForskningsidéPsykisk ohälsa utgör en stor del av sjukdomsbördan, alltså de effekter som ett hälsoproblem har mätt i tex finansiella kostnader, dödlighet, sjuklighet, över hela världen. Enligt en artikel publicerad i den ansedda medicinska tidskriften The Lancet år 2015 var depression bland de tio ledande orsaker till sjukdomsbörda i alla de 188 länder som undersöktes. Trots de stora svårigheter i form av ekonomiskt och personligt lidande som psykiska problem orsakar i utvecklingsländer så har dessa till största delen ignorerats till förmån för sjukdomar som är lättare att förstå som HIV/AIDS, Tuberkulos och Malaria. Fattigdom och psykisk ohälsa tycks interagera i en ond spiral, där fattigdom och psykisk ohälsa påverkar varandra. Forskning visar emellertid att det effektivaste sättet att bryta denna onda spiral är att fokusera på hjälp mot psykisk ohälsa. I utvecklingsländer är psykisk ohälsa dessutom många gånger förknippat med stigma och diskriminering, vilket innefattar uteslutning från sociala och ekonomiska möjligheter. Detta syns även i att huvuddelen av de afrikanska länderna spenderar mindre än 1% av sin hälsobudget på psykisk hälsa.Forskning på psykoterapi tenderar att utgå från forskningslaboratoriet, där forskare tänker ut nya eller försöker förbättra existerande interventioner för olika patientgrupper. Dessa interventioner ska sedan läras ut till praktiserande psykoterapeuter. Ett problem med denna forskningsstrategi är att eftersom forskarna inte har möjlighet att testa alla möjliga interventioner för alla möjliga tillstånd (eller kombinationer av tillstånd), så kommer forskarnas intressen, samhälls- och politiska trender mm att till stor del styra vilka interventioner som forskas på snarare än patienternas eller de praktiserande terapeuternas behov. Detta har kallats för ”empirisk imperialism”, då forskarna (empirikerna) har makten att styra vad terapeuterna ute i verksamheterna ska göra. Problemet med detta riskerar att förvärras ytterligare då interventioner som har utvecklats i Europa eller USA lärs ut till terapeuter i låg- eller lägre medelinkomstländer med andra kulturer. Risken är att interventionerna inte passar den lokala kulturen, så att interventionerna blir ineffektiva och ger sämre resultat än de metoder som terapeuterna använde innan forskarna införde de nya metoderna.Vi föreslår ett alternativt sätt att forska på psykoterapi, som vi tror är speciellt relevant i låg- och lägre medelinkomstländer som Uganda och Kenya. I detta synsätt utgår forskningen initialt från den behandling som sker ute i verksamheterna. Forskarna kartlägger effekterna av behandlingarna som bedrivs, och undersöker hur resultaten för olika patientgrupper står sig gentemot resultat publicerade i forskningstidskrifter. De patientgrupper som får sämre resultat än förväntat är de som forskarna behöver fokusera extra mycket på för att utveckla bättre eller anpassa existerande metoder. Dessa kan sedan testas med mer kontrollerad experimentell forskning, för att se om de ger tilläggseffekter gentemot sedvanlig behandling.Utöver detta tänker vi oss att forskare behöver undersöka patienters syn på psykisk ohälsa, dess orsaker och vad de tror om behandling, eftersom forskning visar att patienters motivation, förväntningar och samstämmighet mellan patientens världssyn och terapimetoden har betydelse för deras möjligheter att tillgodogöra sig behandlingen. Dessutom tänker vi att det är värdefullt att undersöka hur terapeuter har försökt anpassa sina interventioner till lokala kulturer och sedvänjor, då denna information är värdefull vid implementering av nya metoder i de lokala kulturerna.SamarbetetDetta projekt handlar om samarbete i ett nätverk av forskare inom psykiatri och psykologi från Uganda, Kenya, Holland och Sverige.

The study thereby aims to emphasise the circular and transnational dimensions of labour migration, which are often forgotten as national capital cities tend to be seen as the inevitable and final destinations for rural labour migrants. Against this trend, this project identifies secondary cities as central nodes for various forms of mobility, including labour recruitment. The project applies an innovative analytical framework – around the concept of soft infrastructures – which allows for the analytical incorporation of the complexity and flexibility that characterises labour migration in West Africa. The more specific aims of the project are, therefore, to 1) identify the primary soft infrastructures that facilitate the recruitment and circulation of labour within formal and informal economic sectors; to 2) understand how urban dwellers plan and practice regional mobility, with particular attention to the aspirations, discourses, and networks that facilitate them, and 3) to provide a qualitative analysis of the gendered and generationally stratified mobilities that predominate in the four primary field sites. The project is based on an anthropological methodology, primarily using in-depth interviewing and informal conversation; participant observation; and the collection of life histories and extended case studies. Det här komparativa antropologiska forskningsprojektet handlar om regional arbetsmobilitet i Västafrika. Mer specifikt utforskar projektet regionala arbetsmigranters mobilitet genom och mellan städer i Burkina Faso, Niger, Mali, och Guinea. Studien syftar därmed till att lyfta fram den cirkulära och transnationella aspekten av arbetsmigration som ofta glöms bort eftersom huvudstäder tenderar att uppfattas som oundvikliga destinationer för rurala arbetsmigranter. Projektet identifierar istället regional städer – det vill säga små eller medelstora städer – som centrala noder av olika former av mobilitet inklusive arbetsrekrytering. Regionala städer sammankopplar rurala och urbana världar och är därmed också viktiga transitpunkter för migranter som antingen är på genomresa eller som dröjer sig kvar. Projektet tittar på fyra viktiga former av arbetsmobilitet i regionen i fokus nämligen transportverksamhet, småskalig transnationell handel, småskalig gruvdrift och väpnad strid (rekrytering av kombattanter) som alla sammanlänkar landsbygden med regionala center och vidare över nationsgränser. Projektet använder sig av ett innovativt analytiskt ramverk – mjuka infrastrukturer – som bygger på tidigare antropologiskforskning om migrationsinfrastruktur och arbete och som ger utrymme för den flexibilitet som karaktäriserar arbetsmobilitet i regionen. Dom mer specifika målen är att 1) identifiera vilka typer av mjuk infrastruktur – till exempel sociala relationer, nätverk och brokers- som underlättar rekrytering och omsättning av arbetskraft inom formella och informella ekonomiska sektorer 2) förstå hur arbetsmigranter planerar och utövar regional mobilitet med ett speciellt fokus på aspirationer och diskurser som möjliggör och inspirerar till regional mobilitet och 3) bidra med en kvalitativ analys av hur genus och generation spelar in på möjligheten till arbetsmobilitet. Viktiga frågor är hur länge migranter stannar i staden; hur personliga och sociala nätverk bidrar till migranternas yrkesval och färdvägar; vilka genusroller som uttrycks i samband med arbetsmigration över nationsgränser och vilka kommunikationsstrategier och teknologi som används. Projektet kommer att förlita sig på antropologisk forskningsmetodik såsom djupintervjuer och informella samtal, deltagande observation, insamling av livshistorier och fallstudier.

Against this trend, this project identifies secondary cities as central nodes for various forms of mobility, including labour recruitment. The project applies an innovative analytical framework – around the concept of soft infrastructures – which allows for the analytical incorporation of the complexity and flexibility that characterises labour migration in West Africa. The more specific aims of the project are, therefore, to 1) identify the primary soft infrastructures that facilitate the recruitment and circulation of labour within formal and informal economic sectors; to 2) understand how urban dwellers plan and practice regional mobility, with particular attention to the aspirations, discourses, and networks that facilitate them, and 3) to provide a qualitative analysis of the gendered and generationally stratified mobilities that predominate in the four primary field sites. The project is based on an anthropological methodology, primarily using in-depth interviewing and informal conversation; participant observation; and the collection of life histories and extended case studies. Det här komparativa antropologiska forskningsprojektet handlar om regional arbetsmobilitet i Västafrika. Mer specifikt utforskar projektet regionala arbetsmigranters mobilitet genom och mellan städer i Burkina Faso, Niger, Mali, och Guinea. Studien syftar därmed till att lyfta fram den cirkulära och transnationella aspekten av arbetsmigration som ofta glöms bort eftersom huvudstäder tenderar att uppfattas som oundvikliga destinationer för rurala arbetsmigranter. Projektet identifierar istället regional städer – det vill säga små eller medelstora städer – som centrala noder av olika former av mobilitet inklusive arbetsrekrytering. Regionala städer sammankopplar rurala och urbana världar och är därmed också viktiga transitpunkter för migranter som antingen är på genomresa eller som dröjer sig kvar. Projektet tittar på fyra viktiga former av arbetsmobilitet i regionen i fokus nämligen transportverksamhet, småskalig transnationell handel, småskalig gruvdrift och väpnad strid (rekrytering av kombattanter) som alla sammanlänkar landsbygden med regionala center och vidare över nationsgränser. Projektet använder sig av ett innovativt analytiskt ramverk – mjuka infrastrukturer – som bygger på tidigare antropologiskforskning om migrationsinfrastruktur och arbete och som ger utrymme för den flexibilitet som karaktäriserar arbetsmobilitet i regionen. Dom mer specifika målen är att 1) identifiera vilka typer av mjuk infrastruktur – till exempel sociala relationer, nätverk och brokers- som underlättar rekrytering och omsättning av arbetskraft inom formella och informella ekonomiska sektorer 2) förstå hur arbetsmigranter planerar och utövar regional mobilitet med ett speciellt fokus på aspirationer och diskurser som möjliggör och inspirerar till regional mobilitet och 3) bidra med en kvalitativ analys av hur genus och generation spelar in på möjligheten till arbetsmobilitet. Viktiga frågor är hur länge migranter stannar i staden; hur personliga och sociala nätverk bidrar till migranternas yrkesval och färdvägar; vilka genusroller som uttrycks i samband med arbetsmigration över nationsgränser och vilka kommunikationsstrategier och teknologi som används. Projektet kommer att förlita sig på antropologisk forskningsmetodik såsom djupintervjuer och informella samtal, deltagande observation, insamling av livshistorier och fallstudier.

To abolish hunger and feed a growing population without depleting natural resources, new ideas and tools are required. As part of sustainable agriculture, biotechnology can play a key role to improve food production in SSA. However, the limited biotechnical capacities and the current policy in many SSA countries for regulating these technologies hamper the realization of their full potential in the region.We therefore want to (i) improve knowledge-exchange and capacity building to better implement plant biotech in SSA, especially the emerging technique of genome editing, and (ii) explore the implications of converging and/or diverging plant biotechnology policies in the EU and Africa.We focus on cassava and potato, two important staple crops in SSA facing different challenges: Cassava is nutrient-poor and potato is easily devastated by late blight. Genome editing is a promising way to increase Provitamin A and combat vitamin A deficiency, affecting millions of people. Better late blight resistance would decrease yield-losses and fungicide use, and thus increase income while reducing impact farmers’ health.At the same time, it is important that biotech policies and regulations in SSA are supportive rather than restrictive or prohibitive. One contribution of this proposal is to increase the dialogue between researchers and policy-makers. Över stora delar av Afrika spelar jordbruket en central roll. Det stödjer landsbygden och är viktigt för ekonomisk tillväxt. Totalt bidrar jordbruket med nära 20% av kontinentens BNP och runt hälften av det totala värdet av all afrikansk export. Samtidigt har Afrika söder om Sahara för närvarande den högsta förekomsten av undernäring, och cirka 16% av den totala befolkningen saknar tillräckligt med mat.Tyvärr förväntas klimatförändringarna ha en mycket stor påverkan på produktionen inom jordbruket i Afrika söder om Sahara som redan är en av de fattigaste regionerna i världen med en osäker livsmedelsförsörjning. Till exempel uppskattar man att klimatförändringen 2080 kommer framtvinga en import av hela 143 miljoner ton spannmål, vilket är en enorm ökning från dagens cirka 7 miljoner ton. Behovet av att föda en växande befolkning på en allt mer begränsad landyta kommer att kräva nya verktyg för att påskynda utvecklingen av jordbruket.Vi tror att bioteknik kan spela en viktig framtida roll för att förbättra effektiviteten inom jordbruket och livsmedelsproduktionen på den afrikanska kontinenten. Hållbart jordbruk kombinerar ökad jordbruksproduktion och ekonomisk utveckling samtidigt som det främjar miljöskydd och en mer rättvis fördelning av inkomster. För att nå sin fulla potential, måste jordbruksbioteknik framgångsrikt införlivas i ett hållbart jordbruk. Med rätt användning kan det mildra en del av Afrikas kroniska problem såsom matbrist och brist på näringsrik mat. I det här projektet fokuserar vi på de viktiga stapelgrödorna kassava och potatis. Kassava odlas flitigt i Afrika eftersom den inte behöver näringsrika jordar och är relativt torktålig. Flera hundra miljoner människor är beroende av denna gröda för sin överlevnad idag. Potatis är också en mycket viktig stapelgröda, och har under de senaste 20 åren odlats i kraftigt ökande omfattning i Afrika. Men dessa grödor lider av två olika problem: kassavan är näringsfattig, särskilt när det gäller provitamin A, som är nödvändig för att motverka allvarliga bristsjukdomar, till exempel blindhet, medan potatisen lätt blir angripen av potatisbladmögel vilket leder till stora skördebortfall om den inte rikligt besprutas med bekämpningsmedel.Förbättrade sorter av dessa grödor är ofta det enda alternativ som resurssvaga odlare kan förlita sig på i ett mer lågintensivt jordbruk med små ekonomiska resurser att använda till gödning och bekämpningsmedel. Men att förädla kassava och potatis på traditionellt sätt är svårt, eftersom de är mycket genetiskt diversa och har långa livscykler. Många korsningar slutar i oförutsägbara och ovälkomna egenskapskombinationer. Därför vill vi använda de biotekniska verktyg som de facto finns tillgängliga för att med ökad precision förbättra motståndskraften mot växtsjukdomar och öka näringsvärdet av kassava och potatis.Sverige och andra EU-länder har många bi- och multilaterala forsknings- och utvecklingssamarbeten med länder i Afrika söder om Sahara. Policyutvecklingen för forskning och tillämpning av växtbioteknik i dessa afrikanska länder har stor påverkan på möjligheten att bedriva denna typ av samarbeten, och det är därför ytterst viktigt att följa, och även stödja med hjälp av expertrådgivning, framväxten av dessa regelverk i Afrika söder om Sahara. Detta har även betydelse för en stabil livsmedelsförsörjning i många av dessa länder, eftersom internationell handel med jordbruksprodukter underlättas av harmoniserade regelverk.I detta förslag vill vi stärka både tekniska framsteg och policyer kring växtbioteknik i länderna söder om Sahara genom att ta itu med två huvudfrågor:1) Utvecklingen och kapacitetsuppbyggnad av växtbioteknik och speciellt genomredigering i SSA2) Jämföra skillnader och likheter inom växtbioteknikpolicyer mellan EU och Afrika.Genom att angripa dessa tre frågor räknar vi med att bidra med en kapacitetsuppbyggnad inom växtbioteknik i Afrika söder om Sahara. Dessutom vill vi knyta dessa bitvis nya tekniker till nya policyer för växtbioteknik för länderna där, vilket är en oundviklig och viktig del av all forskning och utveckling i detta ämnesområde.

Detta har även betydelse för en stabil livsmedelsförsörjning i många av dessa länder, eftersom internationell handel med jordbruksprodukter underlättas av harmoniserade regelverk.I detta förslag vill vi stärka både tekniska framsteg och policyer kring växtbioteknik i länderna söder om Sahara genom att ta itu med två huvudfrågor:1) Utvecklingen och kapacitetsuppbyggnad av växtbioteknik och speciellt genomredigering i SSA2) Jämföra skillnader och likheter inom växtbioteknikpolicyer mellan EU och Afrika.Genom att angripa dessa tre frågor räknar vi med att bidra med en kapacitetsuppbyggnad inom växtbioteknik i Afrika söder om Sahara. Dessutom vill vi knyta dessa bitvis nya tekniker till nya policyer för växtbioteknik för länderna där, vilket är en oundviklig och viktig del av all forskning och utveckling i detta ämnesområde.

The present project addresses this important and unsolved question, with the overall aim to define the sensitivity of tropical tree species to heat and drought and to provide maps with tree plantation recommendations to relevant stakeholders in Rwanda and beyond. We will determine the functional tree traits (structural, hydraulic, physiological, biochemical) controlling tree vitality and survival in multi-species plantations established at three sites in Rwanda, “the land of thousand hills”. The sites exhibit large natural variation in precipitation and temperature, and experimental manipulations of water supply (irrigation, rainfall exclusion) will be imposed at each site. A multi-trait model of drought- and heat-induced tree mortality will be derived based on data from the experimental sites, and evaluated using independent data from additional sites with larger trees. Based on this model, we will produce and deliver maps with tree plantation recommendations to relevant stakeholders in Rwanda and the region. The scientific significance of the project is to address critical knowledge gaps regarding the causes of drought- and/or heat-induced mortality in tropical trees. The proposed project contributes to capacity building at Rwandan institutions, which will promote science-based and sustainable climate change adaptation in a low-income African country. Tropiska regnskogar är jordens mest artrika och produktiva ekosystemtyp (biom) och spelar en viktig roll för vår planets biodiversitet och klimat. Trots det vet vi förhållandevis lite om deras känslighet för pågående klimatförändringar. Ökad dödlighet under ovanligt varma och torra år (s.k. El Niño-år) tyder på att tropiska träd är mycket klimatkänsliga, men kunskapen om vilka processer som styr detta är begränsad. I många tropiska områden har stora arealer skog försvunnit och omvandlats till odlings- och betesmark. Detta leder till problem med erosion, biodiversitetsförlust, och ett varmare och torrare klimat. På många håll försöker man därför återplantera skog. Det finns då flera fördelar med att använda naturligt förekommande arter eftersom dessa oftast konsumerar mindre vatten och har högre biodiversitet och lägre risk för sjukdomsangrepp än exotiska snabbväxande arter (ofta Eucalyptus). En osäkerhetsfaktor som hämmar hållbar plantering av inhemska tropiska trädarter är att vi vet så lite om deras klimatkänslighet. Det övergripande syftet med detta projekt är att ta reda på vilka egenskaper och mekanismer som styr hur torrare och varmare förhållanden påverkar vitalitet och överlevnad hos olika tropiska trädarter. Baserat på denna kunskap kommer vi att ta fram kartor med rekommendationer för vilka inhemska trädarter som är lämpliga för plantering i olika delar av Rwanda, ett tätt befolkat och fattigt land där skogsåterplantering måste ske i samklang med jordbruket. I det här projektet studerar vi 5400 träd tillhörande 20 tropiska trädarter som naturligt växer i bergsregnskog eller i övergången mellan regnskog och savann i Rwanda, ”the land of thousand hills”. Vi använder planteringar på tre platser med stor variation i höjd över havet (1300-2400 m), nederbörd (850-1750 mm) och temperatur (14-21 °C). De högst belägna platserna ligger i bergsregnskog medan de lägsta ligger i områden som naturligt domineras av buskvegetation och som är varmare och torrare än de utvalda trädarternas naturliga miljöer. Ett steg nedåt i höjd för en viss art representerar ett möjligt framtida klimatscenarium (global uppvärmning). På tre platser kommer vi att manipulera vattentillgången genom att bevattna och/eller skärma av nederbörd; detta för att kunna separera effekter av temperatur och nederbörd. På alla platser kommer vi att plantera både så kallade pionjärarter (arter som snabbt kan kolonisera nya områden) och klimaxarter (arter som dominerar i skogar utan störningar). Vi kommer att studera 16 strukturella, hydrauliska, fysiologiska och biokemiska egenskaper som potentiellt styr hur trädens vitalitet och överlevnad påverkas av minskad vattentillgång och ökad temperatur. Trädens förmåga att anpassa dessa egenskaper till ett förändrat klimat kommer att bestämmas. Utifrån signifikanta samband mellan olika funktionella egenskaper och trädens känslighet för låg nederbörd och hög temperatur kommer en modell att tas fram som kan förutsäga tropiska träds klimatkänslighet utifrån kunskap om deras funktionella egenskaper. Modellen kommer att utvärderas med hjälp av oberoende mortalitetsdata från planteringar med större träd i olika delar av Rwanda. Eftersom modellen är egenskaps-baserad kommer den att kunna appliceras på andra arter än de som ingått i detta projekts planteringar. Inom projektet kommer modellen därför kunna användas för att ta fram kartor med rekommendationer för vilka inhemska trädarter som är lämpliga för plantering i olika delar av Rwanda. Projektet är ett samarbete mellan Göteborgs Universitet, University of Rwanda och Rwanda Agriculture Board som sedan flera år har ett samarbete inom skogsforskning, där även lärarutbyte och handledning av doktorander och studenter ingår. Projektet kommer att ta fram ny kunskap om olika tropiska trädarters klimatkänslighet och vilka underliggande trädegenskaper och mekanismer som styr denna. Dessutom kommer projektet att generera kartor med rekommendationer över vilka trädarter som är lämpliga för plantering i olika delar av landet. Dessa kartor kommer att levereras till relevanta Rwandiska avnämare, såsom ”Rwanda Forest and Water Institute” och ”Ministry of Natural Resources”. De kommer även att kommuniceras till avnämare i andra länder i regionen. Ett annat viktigt mål för projektet är att fortsätta bygga upp kompetensen inom skogsforskning i Rwanda, vilket gynnar forskningsbaserad och långsiktig klimatanpassning i ett fattigt land i Afrika.

The present project addresses this important and unsolved question, with the overall aim to define the sensitivity of tropical tree species to heat and drought and to provide maps with tree plantation recommendations to relevant stakeholders in Rwanda and beyond. We will determine the functional tree traits (structural, hydraulic, physiological, biochemical) controlling tree vitality and survival in multi-species plantations established at three sites in Rwanda, “the land of thousand hills”. The sites exhibit large natural variation in precipitation and temperature, and experimental manipulations of water supply (irrigation, rainfall exclusion) will be imposed at each site. A multi-trait model of drought- and heat-induced tree mortality will be derived based on data from the experimental sites, and evaluated using independent data from additional sites with larger trees. Based on this model, we will produce and deliver maps with tree plantation recommendations to relevant stakeholders in Rwanda and the region. The scientific significance of the project is to address critical knowledge gaps regarding the causes of drought- and/or heat-induced mortality in tropical trees. The proposed project contributes to capacity building at Rwandan institutions, which will promote science-based and sustainable climate change adaptation in a low-income African country. Tropiska regnskogar är jordens mest artrika och produktiva ekosystemtyp (biom) och spelar en viktig roll för vår planets biodiversitet och klimat. Trots det vet vi förhållandevis lite om deras känslighet för pågående klimatförändringar. Ökad dödlighet under ovanligt varma och torra år (s.k. El Niño-år) tyder på att tropiska träd är mycket klimatkänsliga, men kunskapen om vilka processer som styr detta är begränsad. I många tropiska områden har stora arealer skog försvunnit och omvandlats till odlings- och betesmark. Detta leder till problem med erosion, biodiversitetsförlust, och ett varmare och torrare klimat. På många håll försöker man därför återplantera skog. Det finns då flera fördelar med att använda naturligt förekommande arter eftersom dessa oftast konsumerar mindre vatten och har högre biodiversitet och lägre risk för sjukdomsangrepp än exotiska snabbväxande arter (ofta Eucalyptus). En osäkerhetsfaktor som hämmar hållbar plantering av inhemska tropiska trädarter är att vi vet så lite om deras klimatkänslighet. Det övergripande syftet med detta projekt är att ta reda på vilka egenskaper och mekanismer som styr hur torrare och varmare förhållanden påverkar vitalitet och överlevnad hos olika tropiska trädarter. Baserat på denna kunskap kommer vi att ta fram kartor med rekommendationer för vilka inhemska trädarter som är lämpliga för plantering i olika delar av Rwanda, ett tätt befolkat och fattigt land där skogsåterplantering måste ske i samklang med jordbruket. I det här projektet studerar vi 5400 träd tillhörande 20 tropiska trädarter som naturligt växer i bergsregnskog eller i övergången mellan regnskog och savann i Rwanda, ”the land of thousand hills”. Vi använder planteringar på tre platser med stor variation i höjd över havet (1300-2400 m), nederbörd (850-1750 mm) och temperatur (14-21 °C). De högst belägna platserna ligger i bergsregnskog medan de lägsta ligger i områden som naturligt domineras av buskvegetation och som är varmare och torrare än de utvalda trädarternas naturliga miljöer. Ett steg nedåt i höjd för en viss art representerar ett möjligt framtida klimatscenarium (global uppvärmning). På tre platser kommer vi att manipulera vattentillgången genom att bevattna och/eller skärma av nederbörd; detta för att kunna separera effekter av temperatur och nederbörd. På alla platser kommer vi att plantera både så kallade pionjärarter (arter som snabbt kan kolonisera nya områden) och klimaxarter (arter som dominerar i skogar utan störningar). Vi kommer att studera 16 strukturella, hydrauliska, fysiologiska och biokemiska egenskaper som potentiellt styr hur trädens vitalitet och överlevnad påverkas av minskad vattentillgång och ökad temperatur. Trädens förmåga att anpassa dessa egenskaper till ett förändrat klimat kommer att bestämmas. Utifrån signifikanta samband mellan olika funktionella egenskaper och trädens känslighet för låg nederbörd och hög temperatur kommer en modell att tas fram som kan förutsäga tropiska träds klimatkänslighet utifrån kunskap om deras funktionella egenskaper. Modellen kommer att utvärderas med hjälp av oberoende mortalitetsdata från planteringar med större träd i olika delar av Rwanda. Eftersom modellen är egenskaps-baserad kommer den att kunna appliceras på andra arter än de som ingått i detta projekts planteringar. Inom projektet kommer modellen därför kunna användas för att ta fram kartor med rekommendationer för vilka inhemska trädarter som är lämpliga för plantering i olika delar av Rwanda. Projektet är ett samarbete mellan Göteborgs Universitet, University of Rwanda och Rwanda Agriculture Board som sedan flera år har ett samarbete inom skogsforskning, där även lärarutbyte och handledning av doktorander och studenter ingår. Projektet kommer att ta fram ny kunskap om olika tropiska trädarters klimatkänslighet och vilka underliggande trädegenskaper och mekanismer som styr denna. Dessutom kommer projektet att generera kartor med rekommendationer över vilka trädarter som är lämpliga för plantering i olika delar av landet. Dessa kartor kommer att levereras till relevanta Rwandiska avnämare, såsom ”Rwanda Forest and Water Institute” och ”Ministry of Natural Resources”. De kommer även att kommuniceras till avnämare i andra länder i regionen. Ett annat viktigt mål för projektet är att fortsätta bygga upp kompetensen inom skogsforskning i Rwanda, vilket gynnar forskningsbaserad och långsiktig klimatanpassning i ett fattigt land i Afrika.

This project will offer new insight into this question by examining whether poverty harms individuals psychological wellbeing which in turn may have large implications for their decision making and consequently their ability to escape poverty.  The aim of this project is three fold: 1) Understand whether poverty impacts the psychological outcomes of individuals in developing countries. 2) Investigate the impact of psychological outcomes on production and consumption decisions. 3) Study the impact of decision making on poverty. We will measure psychological outcomes using novel lab in the field experiments and surveys conducted in areas with an exogenous variation in poverty. This information will be matched with agricultural and consumption decisions. The field studies will be complimented with an analysis of the impact of poverty reduction policies on psychological outcomes. This will be the first research to empirically investigate the connection between poverty, psychological outcomes and production and consumption decision making. Thus, this project will improve our understanding of why people are poor, which, in turn provides the foundations needed to reduce poverty and achieve the SDGs. This project will commence in 2019 and include researchers in Sweden, the UK and Austria. Fattigdom sätts ofta i relation till inkomst, och låga inkomstnivåer resulterar i oförmåga att täcka grundläggande behov så som om mat, hem, utbildning och hälsovård. Fattigdomsfällan beskriver en mekanism som motverkar att människor kan ta sig ur fattigdom, exempelvis att avsaknad av inkomst gör att man inte kan utbilda sig själv eller att ge sina barn en utbildning.

Människor behöver vatten för att kunna dricka, laga mat, tvätta sig själva och sina kläder. Naturkatastrofer som resulterar från klimatförändringen och olyckor orsakade av människor, speciellt kärnkraftsolyckor som den i Chernobyl, och för några år sedan i Fukushima i Japan där naturen har bidragit till att kärnkraftsolyckan inträffat, skapar ohållbara situationer då allt tillgängligt vattnet blir kraftigt förorenat av organiskt avfall, radioaktiva ämnen, eller i värsta fall av dessa bägge i kombination. Ukraina lider fortfarande av konsekvenser av Chernobyl katastrofen som inträffade för strax över 30 år sedan och gjorde många annars tillgängliga vattenresurser obrukbara. Situationen i Östra Ukraina förvärras av pågående strider där reningsverk ofta blir skadade av beskytning. En stor utmaning för forskare som jobbar med reningsteknologier för att återskapa vattnets kvalité är att kunna hitta eller egentligen snarare skapa nya kostnadseffektiva reningsmaterial kapabla på rekordkort tid återställa de nödvändiga vattenresurserna. I sökandet efter lämpliga material kan man vända sig till två fungerande alternativ: antingen membranmaterial för att rengöra vatten genom filtrering vilket är relativt kostsammare och energikrävande eller försöka använda adsorbenter, material som suger in i sig de farliga föroreningarna och kan i vissa fall hjälpa till att destruera dem. Diverse adsorbenter används aktivt på reningsverk världen över redan idag, men utmaningen är att principiellt effektivisera och påskynda reningsprocessen. Man vill gärna att adsorbenter inte bara fångar de farliga föroreningarna som t.ex. radioaktiva isotoper, men även samtidigt hjälper till att bli av med farligt organiskt avfall. För att vara riktigt effektiva måste de således vara multifunktionella, kapabla att hjälpa till på flera olika sätt samtidigt. En annan principiell utmaning är att det tar rejält med tid att bli av med redan förorenade adsorbenter, avlägsna dem från vattnet som har blivit rent. Idag gör man det genom sedimentering, d.v.s. låter adsorbentpartiklar falla ner på botten av kärlet där vatten renas upp, och sedan häller ut det rengjorda vattnet. Man vill gärna påskynda processen utan att det behöver bli särskilt mycket dyrare. En principiell lösning som kan tas till vara är att skapa adsorbent partiklar med magnetiska egenskaper, så att man lätt ska kunna samla dem med en magnet (och även regenerera sedan genom att avlägsna de koncentrerade föroreningarna och återbilda det aktiva adsorbent materialet). Forskningsgrupperna i Sverige och Ukraina som står bakom detta projektförslag har på senare tid utvecklad mycket värdefull och kompletterande kompetens inom syntes, funktion och användning av komplexa adsorbenter som visar förmåga att effektivt ta bort radioaktiva föroreningar (Ukraina) och snabbt destruera organiskt avfall med hjälp av på adsorbenterna immobiliserade enzymer (Sverige). Bägge grupper har börjat aktivt experimentera med adsorbenter som har magnetiska egenskaper.

Poor case detection is a critical gap in TB care, where 40% of the world’s 10 million cases are not detected (WHO 2017). Many of these patients are lost in the pre-treatment period; up to 83% in Uganda (Shete 2017). A major reason for this is the social and economic barriers that impede access to care (Shete 2015). Accordingly, WHO’s End TB Strategy proposes the use of social protection interventions as part of TB care (Uplekar 2015). How best to implement and scale-up these interventions is still unknown.The purpose of our research is to develop an evidence base for the effectiveness of social protection interventions in enabling completion of diagnostic evaluation and treatment initiation for TB patients in Uganda. We will use formative mixed-methods research to identify social and economic barriers that impede access and adherence to care. We will design and evaluate a context specific, multi-faceted social protection intervention to overcome these barriers. Our outcomes will be the proportion of: (1) diagnosed patients who initiate TB treatment; (2) TB affected households who suffer catastrophic costs. Working closely with the Ugandan government, our results will be used to effect changes in health and development policy to improve health outcomes for TB patients, and to reduce the socio-economic risks for this vulnerable population. Tuberkulos (TB) är den infektionssjukdom som dödar flest människor i världen. Ca 10 miljoner insjuknar varje år, ca 1,7 miljoner dör. TB är vanligast bland de fattigaste i fattiga länder. WHO uppskattar att ca 4 miljoner av de som insjuknar varje år inte får korrekt diagnos och behandling. De flesta av dessa dör eller lever med en kronisk smittsam och funktionsnedsättande infektion med grava socioekonomiska konsekvenser.Vår tidigare forskning har visat att många personer med TB som söker vård inte lyckas fullfölja vårdkedjan.  I Uganda återvänder upp till 80% av patienter som testas för TB inte för att få reda på testresultaten och blir därför inte korrekt diagnostiserade. De kan därmed inte påbörja den 6-månaders antibiotikabehandling (längre för personer med antibiotikaresistent TB) som annars har mycket god effekt. Även bland de som får resultaten är det en stor andel som inte påbörjar behandlingen. Till och med i vårdinrättningar med tillgång till de senaste snabbdiagnostesterna påbörjar 20-40% av patienterna inte behandlingen.Vi har visat att en viktig orsak till detta är socioekonomiska barriärer. Såväl sjukdomen i sig som den tid man tvingas spendera inom sjukvården för diagnos och behandling innebär ofta ett stort produktivitets- och inkomstbortfall för individ och familj. Vanligtvis förloras 3-4 månaders inkomst eller motsvarande 30% av årsinkomsten för en familj, även när själva behandlingen är kostnadsfri för patienten. För TB patienter som ofta redan från början lever i en mycket prekär ekonomisk situation kan därför sjukdomen och dess behandling leda till katastrofala ekonomiska konsekvenser. Beslutet att påbörja TB behandling innebär således ofta ett svårt beslut som kräver avvägningar om alternativkostnader för att spendera tid inom sjukvården.Ekonomiskt och socialt stöd till TB patienter har därför förslagits som en viktig del av behandlingsstrategin, vilket kan leda till såväl bättre följsamhet som till mindre allvarliga socioekonomiska konsekvenser. Det finns begränsad tidigare forskning på detta område och flera frågor kvarstår kring hur sådana interventioner bäst ska designas och implementeras.I detta projekt kommer vi att utveckla och genomföra en pilotstudie av en innovativ modell för socioekonomiskt stöd. Modellen tas fram baserat på en detaljerad kartläggning av socioekonomiska barriärer med hjälp av socialepidemiologiska och beteendeekonomiska analyser. Studien kommer genomföras i Uganda, ett TB-endemiskt låginkomstland.

Poor case detection is a critical gap in TB care, where 40% of the world’s 10 million cases are not detected (WHO 2017). Many of these patients are lost in the pre-treatment period; up to 83% in Uganda (Shete 2017). A major reason for this is the social and economic barriers that impede access to care (Shete 2015). Accordingly, WHO’s End TB Strategy proposes the use of social protection interventions as part of TB care (Uplekar 2015). How best to implement and scale-up these interventions is still unknown.The purpose of our research is to develop an evidence base for the effectiveness of social protection interventions in enabling completion of diagnostic evaluation and treatment initiation for TB patients in Uganda. We will use formative mixed-methods research to identify social and economic barriers that impede access and adherence to care. We will design and evaluate a context specific, multi-faceted social protection intervention to overcome these barriers. Our outcomes will be the proportion of: (1) diagnosed patients who initiate TB treatment; (2) TB affected households who suffer catastrophic costs. Working closely with the Ugandan government, our results will be used to effect changes in health and development policy to improve health outcomes for TB patients, and to reduce the socio-economic risks for this vulnerable population. Tuberkulos (TB) är den infektionssjukdom som dödar flest människor i världen. Ca 10 miljoner insjuknar varje år, ca 1,7 miljoner dör. TB är vanligast bland de fattigaste i fattiga länder. WHO uppskattar att ca 4 miljoner av de som insjuknar varje år inte får korrekt diagnos och behandling. De flesta av dessa dör eller lever med en kronisk smittsam och funktionsnedsättande infektion med grava socioekonomiska konsekvenser.Vår tidigare forskning har visat att många personer med TB som söker vård inte lyckas fullfölja vårdkedjan.  I Uganda återvänder upp till 80% av patienter som testas för TB inte för att få reda på testresultaten och blir därför inte korrekt diagnostiserade. De kan därmed inte påbörja den 6-månaders antibiotikabehandling (längre för personer med antibiotikaresistent TB) som annars har mycket god effekt. Även bland de som får resultaten är det en stor andel som inte påbörjar behandlingen. Till och med i vårdinrättningar med tillgång till de senaste snabbdiagnostesterna påbörjar 20-40% av patienterna inte behandlingen.Vi har visat att en viktig orsak till detta är socioekonomiska barriärer. Såväl sjukdomen i sig som den tid man tvingas spendera inom sjukvården för diagnos och behandling innebär ofta ett stort produktivitets- och inkomstbortfall för individ och familj. Vanligtvis förloras 3-4 månaders inkomst eller motsvarande 30% av årsinkomsten för en familj, även när själva behandlingen är kostnadsfri för patienten. För TB patienter som ofta redan från början lever i en mycket prekär ekonomisk situation kan därför sjukdomen och dess behandling leda till katastrofala ekonomiska konsekvenser. Beslutet att påbörja TB behandling innebär således ofta ett svårt beslut som kräver avvägningar om alternativkostnader för att spendera tid inom sjukvården.Ekonomiskt och socialt stöd till TB patienter har därför förslagits som en viktig del av behandlingsstrategin, vilket kan leda till såväl bättre följsamhet som till mindre allvarliga socioekonomiska konsekvenser. Det finns begränsad tidigare forskning på detta område och flera frågor kvarstår kring hur sådana interventioner bäst ska designas och implementeras.I detta projekt kommer vi att utveckla och genomföra en pilotstudie av en innovativ modell för socioekonomiskt stöd. Modellen tas fram baserat på en detaljerad kartläggning av socioekonomiska barriärer med hjälp av socialepidemiologiska och beteendeekonomiska analyser. Studien kommer genomföras i Uganda, ett TB-endemiskt låginkomstland. Resultaten från de formative studierna kommer att användas för att lägga grunden till en kontextuellt lämplig randomiserad kontrollerad studie. Projektet har fyra målsättningar:Att identifiera sociala och ekonomiska barriärer för vårdsökande och fullföljande av vårdkedjan för personer med TB i Uganda.Att designa en innovativ och lokalt anpassad multi-dimensionell ekonomisk och social intervention för TB patienter för att förbättra vårdtillgänglighet och behandlingsutfall samt för att minska de negativa ekonomiska och sociala konsekvenserna av sjukdomen.Att genomföra en pilotstudie för att testa genomförbarheten av interventionen samt preliminärt utvärdera dess effektivitet.Att i samarbete med det nationella tuberkulosprogrammet i Uganda genomföra policy-dialoger för att förbereda en kontextuellt lämplig randomiserad kontrollerad studie, vars resultat kan leda till en hållbar policyförändring som kan implementeras nationellt.Vi kommer att använda en kombination av kvantitativa och kvalitativa metoder, inklusive intervjuer av TB patienter.

It focuses on the role of gender in military reforms in two post-conflict states: Liberia and Mali. The innovativeness of the project lies in its paradox: viewing a conservative, patriarchal and masculine institution as a potential driver for gender equality in post-conflict societies. The project spans over three levels of analysis: taking off at a micro-level, the project adopts a military sociology perspective to analyze individual gender relations within the military institution through interviews and observation. Stepping up to a meso-level, studying the role of gender in post-conflict militaries, will enable comparisons and generalizations on an institutional level. Finally, on a macro-level, the project examines how the reform of the military in a post-conflict society could contribute to transform existing gendered hierarchies through the empowerment of women, thereby contributing to creating a gender-just peace. The project adds a new and under-researched perspective of the military as not only an institution characterized by continuity, conservatism and hierarchy, but also as a potential ‘agent of change’ for gender relations in a post-conflict society. It will generate new theoretical and empirical insights of utmost relevance when it comes to achieving sustainable peace and developmenet I länder som drabbats av väpnad konflikt är reformer av säkerhetshetssektorn ofta en del av fredsprocessen. Dels genomförs dessa reformer för att befolkningen ska få en ny tilltro till statliga aktörer med ett våldsmonopol, såsom polis och militär, dels genomförs de för att dessa institutioner effektivt ska kunna bidra till ett fredligt samhälle som styrs av transparens, ansvarsutkrävande och rättstatens principer. En aspekt av dessa reformer innebär att den militära institutionen öppnas upp för att inkludera underrepresenterade grupper inom armén, för att bättre återspegla samhällets mångfald. Tidigare forskning har påvisat att militären kan karakteriseras som en sluten, konservativ och starkt maskulin institution som har svårt för att acceptera förändringar och mångfald. Den spänning och utmaning som genusreformer av militären innebär ligger till grund för det föreslagna projektet som analyserar hur integrering av både genus- och jämställdhetsperspektiv fungerar i två konfliktdrabbade stater: Mali och Liberia.  Om man lyckas skapa mer jämställda relationer mellan kvinnor och män inom en konservativ och maskulin institution som militären, finns det möjlighet att överföra lärdomar från en sådan process till samhället i stort, där militären skulle kunna fungera som en förebild och en drivande aktör för ett mer jämställt samhälle. Forskning har redan tidigare visat att ett jämställt samhälle, där kvinnor och män har samma rättigheter och möjligheter, är en förutsättning för hållbar fred och utveckling. För ett konfliktdrabbat land bör just jämställdhet därför vara en av de första prioriteringarna i en hållbar fredsprocess. Det underliggande antagandet för detta projekt är därför att den reformerade och konfliktdrabbade militären skulle kunna fungera som en aktör för förändring av genusrelationer mellan kvinnor och män, inte bara inom armén, men även inom samhället i stort. Detta projekt studerar hur de konfliktdrabbade länderna Mali och Liberia har integrerat genus- och jämställdhetsperspektiv i sina militära institutioner. Genus förstås här som sociala konstruktioner av kön och avser förväntningar på, eller normer för, hur män och kvinnor bör bete sig. Detta projekt fokuserar både på genusintegration, och integration av kvinnor i armén mer specifikt. Fokuset på kvinnor beror på att just kvinnor är kraftigt underrepresenterade i militärer världen över, och som en konsekvens av detta är dessa institutioner starkt maskulina, i den bemärkelse att så kallade "maskulina egenskaper" som förknippas främst med män. Därmed tenderar sådant som fysisk styrka, mod, aggressivitet och rationalitet att priviligieras och lyftas fram före så kallade "feminina egenskaper" såsom empati, kommunikation och omtanke. Kvinnor har därför ofta upplevt könsbaserad diskriminering inom militära institutioner och sällan åtnjutit samma status och militära identitet som sina manliga kollegor. Reformer av den militära institutionen efter konflikt innebär en möjlighet att ändra på tidigare inlärda beteenden och sedvänjor och därmed även lägga grunden för en mer jämlik institution där både män och kvinnor får ta plats och där jämställdhetsperspektiv prioriteras. Vi avser att på mikro- meso- och makronivå studera förändringar av hur genus konstrueras i roller, praktiker och normer. Med avstamp på individ- och gruppnivå inom militären i Mali och Liberia, kartlägger vi i vilken utsträckning man har lyckats med att skapa genusintegration och jämställdhet inom den reformerade militären. På basis av dessa resultat går vi vidare och undersöker om dessa förändringar avspeglas på meso- och makronivå i respektive samhälle. Om vi ser att de förändrade genusmönsten på mikronivå återspeglas på högre nivå i samhället, kan vi dra slutsatser om att förändringar i genusstrukturer inom militären också kan påverka genusrelationer i samhället i stort. Denna studie är explorativ och använder olika kvalitativa tekniker för att spåra förändringar gällande genusintegrering och jämställdhet. Vi använder oss av semistrukturerade intervjuer med individer och fokusgrupper. Därutöver kommer vi att bedriva deltagande observationer på militärbaser i Mali och Liberia. Ett stort skriftligt material, bestående av allt ifrån policydokument, konstitutioner, "White papers" och förhandlingsprotokoll kommer även att granskas för att spåra möjliga förändringar i militärens och samhällets genusstrukturer från mikro-till makronivå.

The research questions are: How do Master students experience an intervention based on meeting community members and social innovators for combating poverty?Does the intervention have an impact on the Master students’ research projects? How?Are there any gender differences with respect to the students’ approaches to community based learning and social innovations for combating poverty? The research team will collect interview data (n=12) and survey data (n=100) from the students to analyze the outcomes of the intervention. Thus it is expected that the students will come up with research projects relevant to poverty reduction. The project will be carried out by researchers in Sweden, Kenya and Uganda. The African researchers will execute the intervention and data collection in continuous dialogue with the Swedish PI. Qualitative and statistical analyses will be conducted by the Swedish and Kenyan PIs. The African researchers will distribute the results to educational leaders at seminars in Uganda/Kenya.

Kenya och Uganda tillhör de fattigaste länderna i världen och det finns ett stort behov av att bekämpa deras fattigdom. I det här Swedish-Links-projektet kommer vi att därför att genomföra en intervention i Masterutbildningen vid två afrikanska universitet, ett i Kenya och ett i Uganda.  Interventionen går ut på att samhällsvetenskapliga studenter under en workshop får träffa både lokalbefolkningen och sociala innovatörer för att tillsammans diskutera konkreta problem som är kopplade till fattigdom i deras region. Efter diskussionen får studenterna sedan fundera över hur de skulle kunna forska på dessa problem för att på sikt komma fram till hållbara lösningar.Masterutbildningen är tvåårig och studenterna genomför egna forskningsprojekt under det sista året. Tanken är att interventionen ska trigga studenterna att fundera ut och genomföra forskningsprojekt som är relaterade till att minska fattigdom genom sociala innovationer. Med sociala innovationer menas att både medel och mål är sociala (exempelvis service och handel), till skillnad från tekniska innovationer som vanligen kopplas till industriella produkter. I vårt projekt är vi nyfikna på om interventionen har någon betydelse för studenterna i detta avseende och om det finns några könsskillnader när det gäller inriktningen på deras forskningsprojekt.Vi kommer att intervjua 12 studenter som har deltagit i interventionen för att ta reda på hur de upplevde workshopen och om de har blivit inspirerade att utforma forskningsprojekt som är relaterade till att bekämpa fattigdom genom sociala innovationer. Om det finns intervjupersoner som inte har valt det spåret i sitt forskningsprojekt kommer vi att undersöka varför. Baserat på intervjuresultaten formulerar vi sedan en enkät som skickas ut till samtliga studenter (ca 100 personer) som deltagit i interventionen. Enkäten syftar till att visa på generella tendenser i studentgruppen. När intervjuerna och enkäterna analyseras kommer särskild vikt att läggas vid eventuella könsskillnader och om interventionen har haft betydelse för studenternas forskningsprojekt.Vårt team består av utbildningsforskare i Sverige, Kenya samt Uganda och innebär att ett nytt forskningssamarbete etableras mellan länderna. Under Swedish-Links-projektets gång kommer vi att resa till varandras lärosäten för att diskutera arbetet och utbyta kunskaper om villkoren för studenters lärande. Vi kommer också att ha många virtuella möten över Internet för att hålla dialogen vid liv. Resultaten som genereras i projektet kommer att spridas till utbildningsledare i Kenya och Uganda, samt publiceras i en internationell vetenskaplig artikel. Vi förväntar oss också att projektet ska generera nya forskningsfrågor som kan leda till större gemensamma forskningsprojekt inom en snar framtid. Ambitionen är således att vårt projekt ska leda till ett långvarigt forskningssamarbete som kan stärka svenskt utvecklingssamarbete och utvecklingen i Östafrika.Den forskning som kommer att bedrivas i Swedish-Links-projektet är viktig av flera skäl. Dels berör projektet tre av de globala målen för hållbar utveckling: (1) Ingen fattigdom, (2) God utbildning för alla, och (3) Jämställdhet.  Dels skapas ett konkret underlag för att utveckla Masterutbildningen i Östafrika som på sikt kan bidra till att uppfylla dessa mål med särskild tonvikt vid att reducera fattigdom. Resultatet kan även vara relevant för andra utvecklingsländer som står inför liknande utmaningar. Dessutom bidrar projektet till den internationella forskningsfronten eftersom det för närvarande saknas studier som specifikt belyser relationen mellan innovativ forskning, genus och studenters lärande i utvecklingsländer.

How?Are there any gender differences with respect to the students’ approaches to community based learning and social innovations for combating poverty? The research team will collect interview data (n=12) and survey data (n=100) from the students to analyze the outcomes of the intervention.

This technology, urine dehydration, recovers nutrients present in urine while removing excess water from it in order to produce a hygienic, dry, and commercial-quality fertiliser. The overall goal of this project will be to design a urine dehydrator that functions continuously, for a period of at least 30 days, to safely dry the urine excreted by a family of four and produce a dry powder with 15% nitrogen. To develop this technology, three complementary work packages are proposed. They will investigate the: (i) dehydration techniques and process optimisation; (ii) the mitigation of human and environmental health risks; and (iii) sustainability potential of the technology and its field testing in Bolivia. The work will be conducted by researchers from the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences and the University of San-Simón (Bolivia) over 3 years, between 2019 and 2021. A urine drying unit requires no sophisticated mechanisms, it is easy to use and maintain, and can be built using off-the-shelf products. We estimate that a unit serving a family of four will cost less than US$ 40. The technology thus has potential to revolutionise sanitation in developing countries. Avloppet från över fyra miljarder människor släpps obehandlat ut i miljön utan någon som helst behandling. Dessa utsläpp orsakar övergödning, försurning och spridning av sjukdom och läkemedelsrester i våra vattendrag. I informella bosättningar, lågkvalitativa bostadshem och överfulla urbana slumområden där toaletter tenderar att installeras utan nödvändig sanitetstjänst är detta mer standard än undantag. Den näringsrikaste fraktionen i avloppet är urinen, men den består av mer än 95% vatten. Björns Vinnerås laboratoriegrupp utvecklar en ny behandlingsteknik som stabiliserar och sedan torkar urinen till ett fast, hygieniskt säkert gödselmedel med hög kvävekoncentration (>15%). Det övergripande målet med detta projekt är att vidareutveckla konceptet med uppströms behandling av urinen genom att utvärdera om stabiliserings- och uttorkningstekniken fungerar kontinuerligt under minst 30 dagar i en familj på fyra personer (6 l dag-1). Konceptet med urintorkning på toaletten kräver ingen sofistikerade mekanismer. Stabiliseringen av urinen utförs med ökat pH från t.ex. träaska och kalk. Torkningen utförs genom att blåsa upp uppvärmd luft över torkbädden (träaska eller biokol). Utvecklingen sker i tre arbetspaket: (i) torkteknik och processoptimering; ii) Minskning av risk för människa och miljö. och (iii) hållbarhetspotential för tekniken och implementering i Bolivia.Vi kommer att studera stabilisering och torkning på djupet: (i) hur kvävets stabilisering påverkas av mängden tillgängligt vatten och förändringen i pH som uppstår på grund av urintillsats och CO2-absorption från luft; och (ii) hur vatten rör sig i torkbädden innan det förångas under torkningen. Därefter kommer optimeringsexperiment att utföras för att samtidigt maximera näringskoncentrationen och förångningen i torkbädden. Experiment kommer leda till en prototypanläggning för att behandla lier urin per dag och energieffektiviteten hos torkanläggningen.Slutprodukten från urintorkningen är ett torrt gödningsmedel som måste uppfylla internationella standarder (WHO/EU/USEPA) för återanvändning av avloppsvatten. Detta projekt kommer att undersöka om sådana gödningsmedel innehåller potentiella hälsorisker och hur man hanterar dem om de finns. Specifika risker som ska bedömas är koncentrationerna av farmaceutiskt aktiva föreningar; vattenburna patogener och tungmetaller. Björn Vinnerås Hygien klass II laboratorium och Lutz Ahrens POP-laboratorium vid Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet har tillgång till lämpliga försöksuppställningar för att analysera och bedöma dessa risker.Ny teknik måste bedömas för dess lämplighet och hållbarhet som avloppslösning. Uttorkning av färsk urin kan ge ett torrt gödningsmedel jämförbart med dagens mineralgödsel. I våra förexperiment, där urin torkats i träaska gett kvävekoncentrationer på 15 %. Gödselvärdet och näringsämnena för sådana substrat måste dock utvärderas i förhållande till kommersiella gödselmedel. Detta kommer att hjälpa till att kvantifiera i vilken utsträckning urinbaserad gödsel kan ersätta kommersiell gödselkonsumtion i de länder som ingår i studien (Bolivia, Sverige).Det finns liten eller ingen sociologisk forskning som har utvärderat acceptans för urinhantering i Bolivia, även om det finns flera organisationer som installerar sådan teknik. Detta projekt kommer att försöka lösa detta gap genom att genomföra undersökningar av intressenter i Cochabamba, Bolivia. Två urinledande spoltoaletter anslutna till urintork i hushållsskala kommer att installeras vid universitetet i San Simón (UMSS) på två platser: för det första på kontoren CASA, vatten- och miljöhälsovården, och; För det andra, vid Centro Agua, Andes centrum för vattenförvaltning.

While there is no direct correlation between the income level and the possibility of being infected by the dengue virus, the economic impact on the poor is much larger since the funds spent by households below the poverty-line for the treatment of dengue amounts to 93.7% of their monthly per capita income even though free health care is available in Sri Lanka.The main vectors species of the Dengue and Zika viruses are mosquitoes that breed in very slow-flowing or standing water pools. It is important to reduce and control such breeding grounds to contain the spread of the diseases. We propose to use drones, unmanned micro aerial vehicles (UAV), to locate mosquito breeding grounds. UAVs equipped with cameras, accelerometers and other sensors can provide close-range aerial-inspection-capabilities. Using drones is a low-cost and hence sustainable solution. The main scientific challenges are to conceive visual-based, active sensing functionality to allow drones autonomously locate the relevant sites with little to no human intervention. Further, drones must be enabled to maneuver in confined areas to carry out the required tasks in built-up urban environments. Lastly, we must adaptively coordinate the operation of multiple drones to balance the application load among available resources, particularly with respect to the limited battery lifetime.

Detta beror på att de tillgångar som spenderas av fattigare hushåll för behandling av dengue uppgår till 93.7 % av månadsinkomsten per invånare, trots att Sri Lanka erbjuder kostnadsfri sjukvård. De huvudsakliga vektorarterna som bär på dengue -och zikavirusen är myggorna Aedes aegypti och Aedes albopictus. De förökar sig i väldigt långsamt-flödande vattendrag eller i stilla vatten.

The extent of the wheat blast outbreak in Bangladesh was considerable and rapid, with 15,000 hectares affected between February to March 2016, and is estimated to have affected at least 45,000 farmers, the majority of whom are resource-poor smallholders. Most importantly this first introduction of a highly virulent form of MoT, in heavily populated South Asia represents a serious threat not only for Bangladesh, but also for regional food security in S. Asia, home to 300 million undernourished people and whose inhabitants consume over 100 million tons of wheat each year. The speed by which MoT however spread across Bangladesh in 2016 was alarming, indicating that if blast were to further spread in South Asia, inaction to mitigate the disease could lead adversely affect the food and income security of over a billion people. There is thus an urgent need to characterize these isolates to identify their morphology, virulence, fungicide resistance and genome evolution at various geographical locations. This work which includes disease surveillance, marker development and participatory trials would help researchers and breeders to identify solutions for the sustainable wheat production in the region in presence of this new highly virulent pathogen. This will be critical to avoid a major potential disaster. Den globala matproduktionen kommer att fortsätta kräva ökade skördar med hög kvalitet samtidigt som miljöpåverkan och energitillförsel måste minska. För att nå dessa mål måste grödor ha ökad resistens mot växtskadegörare och insekter samt kunna anpassas till abiotiska faktorer med bibehållen hög produktkvalitet. Nya utmaningar som den globala uppvärmningen, växtskadegörare i ständig förändring och en föränderlig miljö har ökat behovet av att ta fram nya utsäden som kan bidra till ett hållbart jordbruk. Blast i vete orsakad av Magnaporthe oryzae pathotype Triticum (MoT) har blivit ett allvarligt hinder för veteproduktionen i de varmare delarna av Sydamerika. Sjukdomen har påverkat upp till 3 miljoner hektar och kan orsaka 10 till 100% skördeförlust.I februari 2016 skedde ett utbrott av MoT i Bangladesh – det första utbrottet utanför Sydamerika. Det skedde snabbt och i stor omfattning. 15 000 hektar drabbades mellan februari och mars 2016, och utbrottet beräknas ha påverkat åtminstone 45 000 bönder, de flesta är resurssvaga småbrukare. Detta första utbrott av MoT i det tätbefolkade södra Asien utgör inte bara ett allvarligt hot för Bangladeshs invånare, utan också för hela den regionala livsmedelsförsörjningen i Sydostasien som redan har 300 miljoner undernärda människor och vars invånare konsumerar mer än 100 miljoner ton vete per år.Hastigheten med vilken MoT kom att sprida sig över Bangladesh 2016 var alarmerande, vilket indikerar att sjukdomen snabbt kan komma att sprida sig vidare i södra Asien på grund av globala uppvärmingen. Situationen är allvarlig och en passivitet i hantering av MoT riskerar utebliven livsmedelsförsörjning och inkomst för över en miljard människor. Det är därför angeläget att snabbt karakterisera olika så kallade isolat av MoT för att bestämma deras morfologi, virulens, motstånd mot bekämpningsmedel och eventuella skillnader i arvsanlagen beroende på vilken plats de kommer från.Detta arbete som omfattar så kallad PathoGenomics, markörutveckling, screening av motstånd och odlarförsök kommer att hjälpa forskare och veteförädlare att utveckla nya sorter som är resistenta mot växtskadegöraren och därigenom undvika ett större utbrott och en potentiell katastrof.De resistenta vetesorter som kommer utvecklas i detta projekt kommer att ge odlare säkrare avkastning med minskad risk för skördeskador och även minska användningen av fungicider. Sammantaget kommer detta att bidra till att förbättra livet för fattiga bönder och bidra till mer hållbara jordbruksmetoder. Våra odlarförsök kommer att involvera odlare av båda könen och främja jämställdhet.Medarbetarna i detta projekt har kompetens inom vetepatologi, bioinformatik, molekylärbiologi och växtförädling. Projektets medarbetare är både nationella och internationella aktörer och utgör en stark forskargrupp med ett långsiktigt mål att minska kemisk bekämpning inom jordbruket.

The extent of the wheat blast outbreak in Bangladesh was considerable and rapid, with 15,000 hectares affected between February to March 2016, and is estimated to have affected at least 45,000 farmers, the majority of whom are resource-poor smallholders. Most importantly this first introduction of a highly virulent form of MoT, in heavily populated South Asia represents a serious threat not only for Bangladesh, but also for regional food security in S. Asia, home to 300 million undernourished people and whose inhabitants consume over 100 million tons of wheat each year. The speed by which MoT however spread across Bangladesh in 2016 was alarming, indicating that if blast were to further spread in South Asia, inaction to mitigate the disease could lead adversely affect the food and income security of over a billion people. There is thus an urgent need to characterize these isolates to identify their morphology, virulence, fungicide resistance and genome evolution at various geographical locations. This work which includes disease surveillance, marker development and participatory trials would help researchers and breeders to identify solutions for the sustainable wheat production in the region in presence of this new highly virulent pathogen.

Blast i vete orsakad av Magnaporthe oryzae pathotype Triticum (MoT) har blivit ett allvarligt hinder för veteproduktionen i de varmare delarna av Sydamerika. Sjukdomen har påverkat upp till 3 miljoner hektar och kan orsaka 10 till 100% skördeförlust.I februari 2016 skedde ett utbrott av MoT i Bangladesh – det första utbrottet utanför Sydamerika. Det skedde snabbt och i stor omfattning. 15 000 hektar drabbades mellan februari och mars 2016, och utbrottet beräknas ha påverkat åtminstone 45 000 bönder, de flesta är resurssvaga småbrukare. Detta första utbrott av MoT i det tätbefolkade södra Asien utgör inte bara ett allvarligt hot för Bangladeshs invånare, utan också för hela den regionala livsmedelsförsörjningen i Sydostasien som redan har 300 miljoner undernärda människor och vars invånare konsumerar mer än 100 miljoner ton vete per år.Hastigheten med vilken MoT kom att sprida sig över Bangladesh 2016 var alarmerande, vilket indikerar att sjukdomen snabbt kan komma att sprida sig vidare i södra Asien på grund av globala uppvärmingen. Situationen är allvarlig och en passivitet i hantering av MoT riskerar utebliven livsmedelsförsörjning och inkomst för över en miljard människor.

Tuberculosis (TB) co-exists with other NCDs, including diabetes mellitus (DM). Smoking increases the risk of both TB and DM. Health systems in many LMICs are ill-prepared and currently facing the “triple burden of smoking, TB, and DM”, which drives these countries into the vicious cycle of poverty. We will create the stakeholder network and link researchers and policymakers to discuss enablers and barriers and develop models for the integration of TB, DM, and tobacco control programs at primary health care centres, district, provincial, and national levels. We will conduct formative research using realist evaluation, concept mapping, and social network analysis to guide the model developments. The collaboration envisaged in the project between Sweden, India and Indonesia will help to identify priority areas and strategies for integration of TB, DM, and tobacco control in LMICs, which can be modified and applied in the context of a developed country (Sweden). Project activities include workshops, discussions with stakeholders, data analysis, paper and proposal writing during 2019-2020. This research link project will enhance research capacity and competence of researchers in four universities in India and Indonesia for designing and conduct implementation research to strengthen the health systems. Många låg-och medelinkomstländer (LMIC) står inför både bördan av infektionssjukdomar och den framväxande bördan av kroniska sjukdomar, vilket orsakar mycket lidande för patienterna, familjemedlemmar, samhället, och nationen. Tuberkulos (tbc) är fortfarande en vanlig dödsorsak. Samtidigt blir kroniska sjukdomar som diabetes allt vanligare i befolkningen. Tbc samexisterar ofta med många andra sjukdomar, däribland diabetes. Undersökningar har visat att rökning kan öka risken för både tbc och diabetes. Därför står många av de fattiga länderna nu inför den så kallade tredubbla bördan av rökning, tuberkulos och diabetes, som driver dessa länder in i den onda cirkeln av fattigdom. Hälso-och sjukvårdssystem i LMIC är inte väl förberedda och klarar inte av denna tredubbla börda. Världshälsoorganisationen har nyligen påkallat behovet av åtgärder för att möta den tredubbla bördan av tbc, diabetes och tobak i LMIC. Indonesien är ett av dessa prioriterade länder, där tbc och rökning är mycket vanligt, och diabetes ökar snabbt. Detta forskningssamarbete kommer att bidra till att utveckla strategier för implementering av integrerade interventionsmodeller inom primärhälsovården för att ta itu med den tredubbla bördan av tbc, diabetes, och tobak. De huvudsakliga aktiviteterna i detta projekt är worskhops, seminarier, diskussioner med nyckelaktörer, gemensam dataanalys och skrivande av forskningsansökningar. Under tvåårsperioden kommer vi att bygga samarbeten och utbyta erfarenheter i implementeringsforskning mellan fyra universitet och institutioner i Indien och Indonesien. Från början av projektet, kommer vi att skapa ett nätverk mellan forskare, beslutsfattare och hälsoarbetare för att diskutera och utveckla modeller för integrering av tuberkulos, diabetes och program för tobakskontroll inom primärvården samt diskutera utmaningar för implementering på distriktsnivå, provinsiell och nationell nivå. Vi kommer att genomföra en kartlägga den befintliga informationen om tuberkulos, diabetes, och tobakskontroll program i Indien och Indonesien. Vi kommer då att utföra (1) en realist utvärdering för att identifiera hinder och möjligheter för integrering av de befintliga programmen i båda länderna; (2) ”concept mapping” för att kartlägga aktiviteter som kommer att leda till en lyckad integration, samt identifiera potentiella hinder och begränsningsstrategier; och (3) social nätverksanalys för att bedöma aktörers roller i de olika hälsoprogram och illustrera deras samspel och beskriva beslutsprocessen. Resultaten av dessa studier kommer visa hur man bäst implementerar en integrerad modell vård för tuberkulos, diabetes och tobak i Indien och Indonesien. Betydelsen av detta samarbetsprojekt kan ses på tre nivåer. På akademisk nivå, kommer detta projekt att skapa nya forskningssamarbeten som leder till en långsiktig utveckling av parternas vetenskapliga resurser och kompetenser speciellt av implementeringsforskning för kontroll av kroniska sjukdomar och infektionssjukdomar inom primärhälsovården. På politisk nivå, kommer detta projekt att bygga en ömsesidig och hållbar relation mellan forskare och beslutsfattare i de båda länderna för att stödja integrerad och effektiva interventioner inom primärhälsovården. På befolkningsnivå, kommer detta projekt att ta itu med evidensbaserade integrerade insatser för en rättvis fördelning av resurserna i syfte att minska den tredubbla bördan av tbc, diabetes och rökning. Denna börda som oproportionerligt påverkar fattiga och utsatta befolkningsgrupper i Indien och Indonesien. Det finns underliggande gemensamma hinder inom hälso-och sjukvården för både prevention och vård av kroniska sjukdomar och infektionssjukdomar. En förbättrad integration av planering och genomförande av hälsoprogram för de två sjukdomsgrupperna kommer göra det lättare att överbrygga dessa hinder. Potentiella synergier och fördelar med integrerad vård av tbc och diabetes är att etablera den bästa vården av patienterna, optimalt utnyttja tillgängliga resurser och kombinera förebyggande strategier. Förebyggande strategier kan utgöras av fattigdomsbekämpning, skapande av hållbara miljöer, förbättrad hälsokommunikation och utbildning. Detta samarbetsprojekt förväntas vara av stor praktisk betydelse för global hälsa eftersom det är i linje med den framväxande agendan för hälsomål post 2015 som kommer att fokusera på att stärka primärhälsovård och reducera kroniska sjukdomar i låg och medelinkomstländer.

De huvudsakliga aktiviteterna i detta projekt är worskhops, seminarier, diskussioner med nyckelaktörer, gemensam dataanalys och skrivande av forskningsansökningar. Under tvåårsperioden kommer vi att bygga samarbeten och utbyta erfarenheter i implementeringsforskning mellan fyra universitet och institutioner i Indien och Indonesien. Från början av projektet, kommer vi att skapa ett nätverk mellan forskare, beslutsfattare och hälsoarbetare för att diskutera och utveckla modeller för integrering av tuberkulos, diabetes och program för tobakskontroll inom primärvården samt diskutera utmaningar för implementering på distriktsnivå, provinsiell och nationell nivå. Vi kommer att genomföra en kartlägga den befintliga informationen om tuberkulos, diabetes, och tobakskontroll program i Indien och Indonesien. Vi kommer då att utföra (1) en realist utvärdering för att identifiera hinder och möjligheter för integrering av de befintliga programmen i båda länderna; (2) ”concept mapping” för att kartlägga aktiviteter som kommer att leda till en lyckad integration, samt identifiera potentiella hinder och begränsningsstrategier; och (3) social nätverksanalys för att bedöma aktörers roller i de olika hälsoprogram och illustrera deras samspel och beskriva beslutsprocessen. Resultaten av dessa studier kommer visa hur man bäst implementerar en integrerad modell vård för tuberkulos, diabetes och tobak i Indien och Indonesien. Betydelsen av detta samarbetsprojekt kan ses på tre nivåer. På akademisk nivå, kommer detta projekt att skapa nya forskningssamarbeten som leder till en långsiktig utveckling av parternas vetenskapliga resurser och kompetenser speciellt av implementeringsforskning för kontroll av kroniska sjukdomar och infektionssjukdomar inom primärhälsovården. På politisk nivå, kommer detta projekt att bygga en ömsesidig och hållbar relation mellan forskare och beslutsfattare i de båda länderna för att stödja integrerad och effektiva interventioner inom primärhälsovården. På befolkningsnivå, kommer detta projekt att ta itu med evidensbaserade integrerade insatser för en rättvis fördelning av resurserna i syfte att minska den tredubbla bördan av tbc, diabetes och rökning. Denna börda som oproportionerligt påverkar fattiga och utsatta befolkningsgrupper i Indien och Indonesien. Det finns underliggande gemensamma hinder inom hälso-och sjukvården för både prevention och vård av kroniska sjukdomar och infektionssjukdomar. En förbättrad integration av planering och genomförande av hälsoprogram för de två sjukdomsgrupperna kommer göra det lättare att överbrygga dessa hinder. Potentiella synergier och fördelar med integrerad vård av tbc och diabetes är att etablera den bästa vården av patienterna, optimalt utnyttja tillgängliga resurser och kombinera förebyggande strategier. Förebyggande strategier kan utgöras av fattigdomsbekämpning, skapande av hållbara miljöer, förbättrad hälsokommunikation och utbildning. Detta samarbetsprojekt förväntas vara av stor praktisk betydelse för global hälsa eftersom det är i linje med den framväxande agendan för hälsomål post 2015 som kommer att fokusera på att stärka primärhälsovård och reducera kroniska sjukdomar i låg och medelinkomstländer.

Tuberkulos (tbc) är fortfarande en vanlig dödsorsak. Samtidigt blir kroniska sjukdomar som diabetes allt vanligare i befolkningen. Tbc samexisterar ofta med många andra sjukdomar, däribland diabetes. Undersökningar har visat att rökning kan öka risken för både tbc och diabetes. Därför står många av de fattiga länderna nu inför den så kallade tredubbla bördan av rökning, tuberkulos och diabetes, som driver dessa länder in i den onda cirkeln av fattigdom.

Current study aims to evaluate the pattern and determinant of women’s exposure to Domestic Violence (DV) and/or Intimate Partner Violence (IPV), over a long period of time and estimate the casual relationship between maternal experience of IPV/DV and Violence against Children (VAC) using a novel longitudinal dataset from MINIMat study in rural Bangladesh. The original study implemented in 2001 in Matlab and since then 4436 pregnant women with 3267 singleton live births were repeatedly followed-up during pregnancy and after child birth (1-24m, 4.5y, 10y, & puberty) and comprehensive set of social and environmental exposures were collected from them in several occasions. Recruited women were interviewed about their lifetime experience of IPV/DV before child birth, during pregnancy and 10 years after childbirth. We plan to interview 1400 women and their children at (17 years of age) regarding their last year experience of violence using standard questionnaires. Multistage models will be used to to identify pattern and factors associated with women’s experience of IPV/DV at different time points and also to evaluate temporal association between IPV/DV and VAC. Våld mot kvinnor erkänns som en kränkning av de mänskliga rättigheter, samt som ett allvarligt folkhälso- och samhällsproblem. Det orsakar betydande direkta och indirekta kostnader för länder. Även om våld mot kvinnor uppträder i olika miljöer, är våld i hemmet erkänt som det mest genomgripande och en intim partner är den vanligaste förövaren. Globalt sett har mellan 15 till 71% av kvinnor som varit i en relation upplevt våld i nära relation under sin livstid  och våld i nära relation har blivit rankad som 31:a ledande riskfaktorn till funktionsjusterade levnadsår. Erfarenhet av våld i nära relation/våld i hemmet kan ge ett brett spektrum av fysiska och psykiska konsekvenser för de misshandlade kvinnorna , negativa konsekvenser för deras barn och för förövarens välbefinnande . Vidare tyder evidens på att i hushåll där våld i nära relation sker är våld mot barn vanligt, vilket ökar sannolikheten för framtida utsatthet eller illgärning för barnet . Trots allvaret av problemet är lite känt om mönster av våld i nära relation/våld i hemmet i en kvinnas liv under en längre tid. Befintlig litteratur kring trenderna för våld i nära relation/våld i hemmet är främst från höginkomstländer och bygger på upprepade tvärsnittsdata .

Vi har tidigare visat att kvinnor som upplevde våld i nära relation/våld i hemmet var mer benägna att vara känslomässigt bekymrade över sin graviditet och hade lägre varaktighet av helamning. Vidare ökade mödrarnas erfarenheter av våld i nära relation/våld i hemmet risken för tillväxthämning i fosterstadiet och i tidig barndom, samt risken för diarré och luftvägsinfektion hos deras barn.

Biochar has shown great capacity for small scale wastewater treatment and its production is an effective measure for climate change mitigation and renewable energy production. Adoption of new technologies, e.g. biochar-based technologies, for effective wastewater treatment depends on early engagement of different stakeholders during the development of the technology. Identification of technical and market readiness and understanding the social-institutional forces affecting onsite wastewater sector are necessary steps for developing innovations within the sector. This project will explore the effectiveness of multi-actor engagement in planning for adoption of biochar-based systems as an alternative treatment for wastewater in small communities in Bolivia. The project will investigate the technical and market readiness of biochar-based wastewater treatment systems as an alternative to existing non-functioning systems. It will also explore the socio-technical dynamics influencing selection of wastewater systems in small communities Bolivia. In addition, the project will develop, test and assess serious gaming as a planning tool facilitating sustainable planning of onsite wastewater systems. The project will contribute to meeting the sustainable development goals 6, 11 and 16 regarding clean water and sanitation, sustainable cities and communities, and strong institutions. I världen pågår vad som kallas en sanitet kris och som utgör en av vår generations största utmaningar. Världshälsoorganisationen uppskattar att 2,4 miljarder människor i världen saknar tillgång till en bra toalett och att 1 miljard människor lever i storstädernas slumområden där de sämsta vatten- och sanitetsförhållandena råder. Dålig och obefintlig rening av avloppsvatten leder till allvarliga risker för människors hälsa genom spridning av vattenburna sjukdomar och orsakar övergödning av vattendrag och sjöar. Experter menar att storskalig övergödning är ett allvarligt hot mot en hållbar framtid på vår jord och varnar för att vi behöver hårdare kontroll av flödena av övergödande ämnen som kväve och fosfor.Renat avloppsvatten är en viktig resurs som kan motverka dålig vattentillgång och minskad jordbruksproduktion till följd av den pågående klimatförändringen. Detta är av stor betydelse för länder som Bolivia, som lider av svår vattenbrist och med sanitetsproblem. Således finns ett akut behov av att utveckla små anpassningsbara lösningar för lokal avloppsvattenrening. Utveckling av hållbara hantering för små avloppsreningssystem kräver engagemang av olika aktörer tidigt under design- och utvecklingfasen. Identifiering av lämplig teknik, marknadsberedskap och förståelse för de sociala och institutionella krafterna som påverkar sektorn är nödvändigt för att utveckla nya innovationer inom sektorn.Biokol är en produkt som produceras genom pyrolys (upphettning utan syre) av organiskt material t.ex. trä. Biokol kan produceras lokalt med enkel teknik såväl i Bolivia som låginkomstländ. Biokol kännetecknas av hög porositet och stor yta med många ytaktiva bindningsplatser. Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet (SLU) har studerat användning av biokol i småskaliga avloppsvattenanläggningar för att minska utsläpp av olika sorters avloppsföroreningar, t.ex. syreförbrukande ämnen, växtnäringämnen, patogener, läkemedelsrester och högfluorerade ämnen. Resultaten visar att biokolet är ett lovande material för små avloppsanläggningar. Dessutom innefattar biokolproduktion en framtida teknik för förnybar energiproduktion.Syftet med detta projekt är att undersöka hur olika aktörers engagemang påverkar planeringen av biokolsbaserade system som ett alternativ för små avloppsreningssystem i  Bolivia. Dessutom syftar projektet till att utveckla, testa och utvärdera ett spel som ett verktyg for planering av små hållbara avloppssystem. Detta projekt består av tre delar.

Biochar has shown great capacity for small scale wastewater treatment and its production is an effective measure for climate change mitigation and renewable energy production. Adoption of new technologies, e.g. biochar-based technologies, for effective wastewater treatment depends on early engagement of different stakeholders during the development of the technology. Identification of technical and market readiness and understanding the social-institutional forces affecting onsite wastewater sector are necessary steps for developing innovations within the sector. This project will explore the effectiveness of multi-actor engagement in planning for adoption of biochar-based systems as an alternative treatment for wastewater in small communities in Bolivia. The project will investigate the technical and market readiness of biochar-based wastewater treatment systems as an alternative to existing non-functioning systems. It will also explore the socio-technical dynamics influencing selection of wastewater systems in small communities Bolivia. In addition, the project will develop, test and assess serious gaming as a planning tool facilitating sustainable planning of onsite wastewater systems. The project will contribute to meeting the sustainable development goals 6, 11 and 16 regarding clean water and sanitation, sustainable cities and communities, and strong institutions. I världen pågår vad som kallas en sanitet kris och som utgör en av vår generations största utmaningar. Världshälsoorganisationen uppskattar att 2,4 miljarder människor i världen saknar tillgång till en bra toalett och att 1 miljard människor lever i storstädernas slumområden där de sämsta vatten- och sanitetsförhållandena råder. Dålig och obefintlig rening av avloppsvatten leder till allvarliga risker för människors hälsa genom spridning av vattenburna sjukdomar och orsakar övergödning av vattendrag och sjöar. Experter menar att storskalig övergödning är ett allvarligt hot mot en hållbar framtid på vår jord och varnar för att vi behöver hårdare kontroll av flödena av övergödande ämnen som kväve och fosfor.Renat avloppsvatten är en viktig resurs som kan motverka dålig vattentillgång och minskad jordbruksproduktion till följd av den pågående klimatförändringen. Detta är av stor betydelse för länder som Bolivia, som lider av svår vattenbrist och med sanitetsproblem. Således finns ett akut behov av att utveckla små anpassningsbara lösningar för lokal avloppsvattenrening. Utveckling av hållbara hantering för små avloppsreningssystem kräver engagemang av olika aktörer tidigt under design- och utvecklingfasen. Identifiering av lämplig teknik, marknadsberedskap och förståelse för de sociala och institutionella krafterna som påverkar sektorn är nödvändigt för att utveckla nya innovationer inom sektorn.Biokol är en produkt som produceras genom pyrolys (upphettning utan syre) av organiskt material t.ex. trä. Biokol kan produceras lokalt med enkel teknik såväl i Bolivia som låginkomstländ. Biokol kännetecknas av hög porositet och stor yta med många ytaktiva bindningsplatser. Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet (SLU) har studerat användning av biokol i småskaliga avloppsvattenanläggningar för att minska utsläpp av olika sorters avloppsföroreningar, t.ex. syreförbrukande ämnen, växtnäringämnen, patogener, läkemedelsrester och högfluorerade ämnen. Resultaten visar att biokolet är ett lovande material för små avloppsanläggningar. Dessutom innefattar biokolproduktion en framtida teknik för förnybar energiproduktion.Syftet med detta projekt är att undersöka hur olika aktörers engagemang påverkar planeringen av biokolsbaserade system som ett alternativ för små avloppsreningssystem i  Bolivia. Dessutom syftar projektet till att utveckla, testa och utvärdera ett spel som ett verktyg for planering av små hållbara avloppssystem. Detta projekt består av tre delar. Under första delen kommer vi undersöka möjligheterna för biokolssystem att minska sjukdomsspridning, miljöpåverkan samt dessa systems marknadspotential.

They are also inhabited by deeply impoverished populations. People in the Himalayan landscapes have long lived in contexts of chronic structural risks generated by climate change and deeper socio-political factors in Nepalese society. One strategy has been large collective and individual labour investments in the landscape. This research will investigate such long term landscape investments in order to understand how people’s landscape use and economic and social structures are mutually constituted with very different outcomes for different social groups in a hierarchical society such as Nepal. It does so in a situation where patterns of outmigration creates a situation of rural labour scarcity, which has relatively unknown consequences for land uses and landscapes. The interdisciplinary research team will use the own developed method ‘ES-walks’, in combination with various forms of interviews and collaborative activities in three contrasting mountain landscapes.The project will contribute to the growing body of socio-political nuanced understandings of resilience and adaptive capacity, as well as analyse and reflect on development and environmental changes in an integrated manner. Such knowledge of human-environmental relations is crucial for supporting and improving smallholders’ rural livelihood opportunities. Bergsområden har en central betydelse för flertalet ekosystemtjänster och är mycket viktiga för den biologiska mångfalden. De är dessutom ofta bebodda av människor som är både fattiga och socialt marginaliserade. Dessa befolkningar har över generationer anpassat sig till den utsatta miljö de lever i och har lärt sig att hantera de många miljömässiga risker som det innebär att leva i bergslandskap. Resiliens kan beskrivas som den långsiktiga förmågan hos ett system att hantera förändringar och fortsätta att utvecklas. Detta forskningsprojekt handlar specifikt om vad resiliens innebär för småskaliga bönder som lever på bergssidorna i den så kallade Mid-Hill-regionen i Nepal. Vi avser att undersöka vilka strategier och praktiker bönderna använder för att hantera de risker de kan möta i sin vardag, framförallt genom de långsiktiga investeringar de gör i det landskap de lever i. Det kan till exempel handla om att bygga terrasser, bevattningsanläggningar och att bruka skogsområden för specifika ändamål. Många av bergsbönderna är mycket fattiga och deras handlingsalternativ är därför ofta väldigt begränsade. Det är mycket viktigt att undersöka vilken rörelsefrihet befolkningen har för sina handlingar (så kallad agens) och hur denna rörelsefrihet påverkas av och begränsas av de ekonomiska och sociala strukturerna i samhället.De nepalesiska bergsområdena drabbas av regelbundet återkommande naturkatastrofer som jordbävningar, jordskred och översvämningar. De globala klimatförändringarna har ökat risken för sådana katastrofer, samtidigt som vädret blivit allt mer oberäkneligt. Befolkningens förmåga att hantera risker i jordbruksproduktionen utsätts därmed för stora påfrestningar. Samtidigt sker även stora ekonomiska och sociala förändringar på den nepalesiska landsbygden. Den främsta av dessa är den stora ökningen av människor som emigrerar från bergsområdena på kort och lång sikt, både till inhemska städer och till utlandet, främst Mellanöstern och Malaysia. Den kanske viktigaste komponenten i de långsiktiga landskapsinvesteringarna i landskapet består av arbetskraft och när stora mängder män migrerar så innebär detta med all sannolikhet att förmågan att bruka marken och investera i landskapet förändras. Detta kan ha stor inverkan på hushållens förmåga att hantera risk och det är också troligt att deras strategier för att minska risker förändras. Denna fråga är dock ännu inte särskilt beforskad.Detta forskningsprojekt avser att studera och jämföra tre skilda bergslandskap i Nepal, vilka ligger på olika höjdnivåer. Syftet är att undersöka hur de pågående ekologiska, ekonomiska och sociala förändringarna påverkar småbrukarnas strategiska och kontinuerliga investeringar i odlingslandskapet. Avsikten är att utforska hur böndernas föreställningar om risker påverkar deras investeringar i landskapet, om och hur strategier skiljer sig mellan olika sociala grupper (så som klass, kast, etnicitet, genus) och hur dessa föreställningar och strategier påverkar böndernas matsäkerhet, deras långsiktiga förmåga att hantera förändringar och hur deras agerande i sin tur påverkar landskapet..Forskningen kommer att baseras på etnografiska och agro-ekologiska metoder, bestående av deltagande observation, olika former av intervjuer och fältvandringar tillsammans med bönder och andra aktörer.

The extent of pesticide exposure and associated health effects among populations in LMICs is not established. The aim of this project is to evaluate how climate change and intensified use of pesticides affect pesticide exposure and health in humans, including susceptible groups. We will create a new international research collaboration bringing together studies of pesticide exposure and health outcomes in populations from LMICs around the world affected by climate change. The populations include mother-child pairs from Bangladesh and Costa Rica, children from South Africa and agricultural workers from Uganda, El Salvador and Nicaragua. We will use the expertise in biomarker analyses at Occupational and Environmental Medicine (OEM) in Lund to monitoring pesticide exposure in the populations. Exposure will be analyzed in relation to health effects relevant to pesticide exposure (e.g. respiratory effect, neurodevelopment and chronic kidney disease) by research groups responsible for the individual study populations. Negative health effects in relation to pesticide exposure will highlight the importance of controlling pesticide usage in LMICs and to increase the emphasis on more sustainable means to adapt to climate change. Användningen av pesticider (kemiska bekämpningsmedel) ökar i låg- och medelinkomst länder (LMIL) som ett resultat av klimatförändringar vilket kan leda till hälsoskadlig exponering av befolkningar i dessa länder. På arbets- och miljömedicin vid Lunds universitet (AMM) har vi under lång tid, med finansiering från bl.a. SIDA och Formas, arbetat med att utveckla metoder för att mäta exponering för pesticider från miljön i biologiska prover från människor. Avsikten med denna ansökan är att få ökad kunskap om hur den höga användningen av pesticider i LMIL påverkar människors exponering och hälsa. Vi kommer mäta pesticidexponering i biologiska prover (urin, blod) för utvärdering i relation till hälsoeffekter. Proverna är samlade från högriskgrupper i LMIL i olika delar av världen med klimatpåverkan. Ökad kunskap kring pesticider och dess påverkan på människor och miljö i kan leda till bättre reglering kring dessa ämnen användning och en mer hållbar anpassning till klimatförändringar.Pesticider innefattar en bred grupp kemikalier som används för att skydda människor och grödor från skadliga organismer såsom insekter, ogräs, gnagare och mikroorganismer. De har således utvecklats för att skada levande organismer och kan därför även påverka människor. Exponering för vissa pesticider i höga nivåer kan ge akut förgiftning med allvarliga hälsoeffekter på bl.a. neurologiska och kardiovaskulära system, och även orsaka dödsfall. Långvarig exponering för olika pesticider vid lägre nivåer har också visats kunna orsaka bl.a. luftvägssjukdom, cancer, hormonförändringar och neurologiska effekter. Det finns också misstankar på att pesticidexponering skulle kunna skada njurarna – i flera tropiska länder har många lantarbetare drabbats av allvarlig kronisk njursjukdom.Pesticider används frekvent runt om i världen och konsumtionen är särskilt hög i LMIL med tropiskt klimat där ohyra frodas och regleringen gällande användningen av dessa ämnen ofta är bristfällig. Klimatförändringar kan leda till ökad spridning av skadedjur inklusive smittbärande insekter (t.ex. malariamyggor), sämre resistens mot ohyra bland grödor samt minskad effekt av pesticider, vilket leder till att användningen av pesticider ökar ytterligare. Det finns fortfarande mycket oklarheter om hur hög användning av olika pesticider i LMIL påverkar människors exponering och hälsa. Detta beror på att det finns få studier med tillförlitliga exponeringsdata – dvs baserade på faktiska mätningar av hur mycket människor exponerats - som kan relateras till hälsoeffekter. Dessutom har kvinnor och barn, som kan tänkas vara mest känsliga för negativa hälsoeffekter, hittills varit underrepresenterade i forskningsstudierna.Avsikten med denna ansökan är att bidra med avancerad exponeringsmätning av pesticider i ett flertal pågående studier av befolkningar i LMIL, för att bättre kunna utvärdera hur ökad exponering för pesticider i samband med klimatförändringar påverkar människors hälsa. Samtliga studier omfattar riskgrupper för skadlig exponering för pesticider och flertalet är från regioner med stark påverkan av klimatförändringar. Befolkningarna består av mödrar och barn från Bangladesh och Costa Rica, barn från Sydafrika, jordbruksarbetare från Uganda, El Salvador och Nicaragua, samt män och kvinnor från Nicaragua. I alla studierna undersöks hälsoeffekter, t.ex. andningsbesvär, neurologiska effekter (bl.a. neurologisk utveckling hos barn) och njursjukdom. Urin- och i vissa fall blodprover har tagits och sänts till AMM. Vi kommer att mäta halten av flera olika pesticider i utvalda prover. Resultaten ska sedan användas i de olika studierna. Projektet kommer även att innefatta metodutveckling för att kunna mäta nya markörer för pesticider.Projektet har goda förutsättningar att bidra med ny och viktig kunskap kring pestidexponering och relaterade hälsoeffekter i samband med klimatförändringar. De olika studierna omfattar män, kvinnor och barn från olika länder med klimatpåverkan och en rad olika hälsoutfall. Resultaten är betydelsefulla för de medverkande befolkningarna. De kommer att kommuniceras till lokala och nationella myndigheter, samt användas i utbildningssyfte. Ökad kunskap om hur pesticider påverkar människors hälsa kan bidra till bättre reglering och skydd av arbetare och allmänbefolkning, samt mer fokus på utveckling av alternativa och mer hållbara metoder för anpassning till klimatförändringar i LMIL.

Dessutom har kvinnor och barn, som kan tänkas vara mest känsliga för negativa hälsoeffekter, hittills varit underrepresenterade i forskningsstudierna.Avsikten med denna ansökan är att bidra med avancerad exponeringsmätning av pesticider i ett flertal pågående studier av befolkningar i LMIL, för att bättre kunna utvärdera hur ökad exponering för pesticider i samband med klimatförändringar påverkar människors hälsa. Samtliga studier omfattar riskgrupper för skadlig exponering för pesticider och flertalet är från regioner med stark påverkan av klimatförändringar. Befolkningarna består av mödrar och barn från Bangladesh och Costa Rica, barn från Sydafrika, jordbruksarbetare från Uganda, El Salvador och Nicaragua, samt män och kvinnor från Nicaragua.

Sweden The Swedish Research Council The Swedish Research Council +46 8 546 44 000 vetenskapsradet@vr.se www.vr.se Box 1035, 101 38 Stockholm, Sweden Uganda Medical research Health, General SE-0-SE-29-2018-05841_3-1 Sweden Pesticides are applied extensively in many low- and middle income countries (LMICs) and the use is increasing due to climate change. The extent of pesticide exposure and associated health effects among populations in LMICs is not established. The aim of this project is to evaluate how climate change and intensified use of pesticides affect pesticide exposure and health in humans, including susceptible groups. We will create a new international research collaboration bringing together studies of pesticide exposure and health outcomes in populations from LMICs around the world affected by climate change. The populations include mother-child pairs from Bangladesh and Costa Rica, children from South Africa and agricultural workers from Uganda, El Salvador and Nicaragua. We will use the expertise in biomarker analyses at Occupational and Environmental Medicine (OEM) in Lund to monitoring pesticide exposure in the populations. Exposure will be analyzed in relation to health effects relevant to pesticide exposure (e.g. respiratory effect, neurodevelopment and chronic kidney disease) by research groups responsible for the individual study populations. Negative health effects in relation to pesticide exposure will highlight the importance of controlling pesticide usage in LMICs and to increase the emphasis on more sustainable means to adapt to climate change. Användningen av pesticider (kemiska bekämpningsmedel) ökar i låg- och medelinkomst länder (LMIL) som ett resultat av klimatförändringar vilket kan leda till hälsoskadlig exponering av befolkningar i dessa länder. På arbets- och miljömedicin vid Lunds universitet (AMM) har vi under lång tid, med finansiering från bl.a. SIDA och Formas, arbetat med att utveckla metoder för att mäta exponering för pesticider från miljön i biologiska prover från människor. Avsikten med denna ansökan är att få ökad kunskap om hur den höga användningen av pesticider i LMIL påverkar människors exponering och hälsa. Vi kommer mäta pesticidexponering i biologiska prover (urin, blod) för utvärdering i relation till hälsoeffekter. Proverna är samlade från högriskgrupper i LMIL i olika delar av världen med klimatpåverkan. Ökad kunskap kring pesticider och dess påverkan på människor och miljö i kan leda till bättre reglering kring dessa ämnen användning och en mer hållbar anpassning till klimatförändringar.Pesticider innefattar en bred grupp kemikalier som används för att skydda människor och grödor från skadliga organismer såsom insekter, ogräs, gnagare och mikroorganismer. De har således utvecklats för att skada levande organismer och kan därför även påverka människor. Exponering för vissa pesticider i höga nivåer kan ge akut förgiftning med allvarliga hälsoeffekter på bl.a. neurologiska och kardiovaskulära system, och även orsaka dödsfall. Långvarig exponering för olika pesticider vid lägre nivåer har också visats kunna orsaka bl.a. luftvägssjukdom, cancer, hormonförändringar och neurologiska effekter. Det finns också misstankar på att pesticidexponering skulle kunna skada njurarna – i flera tropiska länder har många lantarbetare drabbats av allvarlig kronisk njursjukdom.Pesticider används frekvent runt om i världen och konsumtionen är särskilt hög i LMIL med tropiskt klimat där ohyra frodas och regleringen gällande användningen av dessa ämnen ofta är bristfällig. Klimatförändringar kan leda till ökad spridning av skadedjur inklusive smittbärande insekter (t.ex. malariamyggor), sämre resistens mot ohyra bland grödor samt minskad effekt av pesticider, vilket leder till att användningen av pesticider ökar ytterligare. Det finns fortfarande mycket oklarheter om hur hög användning av olika pesticider i LMIL påverkar människors exponering och hälsa. Detta beror på att det finns få studier med tillförlitliga exponeringsdata – dvs baserade på faktiska mätningar av hur mycket människor exponerats - som kan relateras till hälsoeffekter.

A significant number of people in SE Asia – where populations are growing rapidly - rely on seafood as their principal source of protein and essential micronutrients, thus requiring urgent solutions to ensure its continued availability in the diet of the 655 million people living in the region. Yet some of the aquaculture technologies and practices currently in use in SE Asia have alarmed policy-makers who are concerned not only about environmental sustainability, but because some of the farming methods and species being farmed are in fact detrimental to low income sectors of the population.Indeed, the desire for high return on investment often encourages cultivation of species that are in demand by wealthier urban/foreign populations, but are largely unaffordable by the rural populations directly involved in their production. Innovation in production methods, and developing local supply chains for sustainable feed inputs, are urgently needed to an alleviate nutritional deficiencies among seafood-dependent populations whose livelihoods are jeopardized by climate change. In this project, we aim to build adaptive capacity for small-scale farmers by enabling them to use affordable and sustainable local resources to culture species that are nutritionally and culturally suited for their own needs. I stora delar av Sydostasien och Stillahavsområdena är försörjningsförmågan starkt beroende av förmågan att producera mat, varav mycket erhålls från havet. Fisk är en högkvalitativ källa till protein, essentiella fettsyror och mikronäringsämnen. Trots att asiatisk fiskkonsumtion per capita har tredubblats under de senaste 50 åren, påverkar undernäringen fortfarande en betydande del av befolkningen. För länder på OECD: s DAC-lista över låginkomstländer är grundläggande livsmedelssäkerhet högst angelägen även under klimatförändringar i en nära framtid. Lokal kunskap om klimatförhållandena har historiskt tillåtit småskaliga fiskare och fiskodlare att hantera klimatvariationer, men ekosystemen står för närvarande under ett enormt tryck eftersom klimatförhållandena och intensiteten har gjort livsmedelssäkerheten alltmer oförutsägbar. En av de största rädslorna för klimatförändringen är att livsmedelsförsörjningskedjorna blir alltmer snedvridna eller störda, så att sårbara befolkningsgrupper kommer att finna det allt svårare att hantera de redan förödande effekterna av undernäring och dold hunger.  De som har minst motståndskraft kommer att drabbas mest, och har få sätt att förbättra sin situation. Som återspeglas i FN: s hållbara utvecklingsmål 2 är en av världens största utmaningar hur man ska säkerställa att en växande global befolkning, som förväntas stiga till cirka 10 miljarder år 2050, ska kunna uppfylla sina näringsbehov. Över en tredjedel av den nuvarande världsbefolkningen finns i Asien. För att mata ytterligare två miljarder år 2050, måste livsmedelsproduktionen öka med 50% globalt. FAO listar resultatmålen för SDG 2 som att: bekämpa brist på tillgång till mat, undernäring, småproduktivitet och inkomster, hållbart och fjädrande jordbruk och biodiversitet inom jordbruket.  Den föreslagna forskningen är anpassad till FN: s hållbara utvecklingsmål för att främja naturbaserade lösningar för att mata en växande världsbefolkning. Vattenbruk är en av världens snabbast växande livsmedelsproduktionssektorer, eftersom efterfrågan av högkvalitativt protein ökar medan marint fångstfiske är på en statisk eller sjunkande nivå. Akvakulturproduktionen kan kompensera för krympande vilda bestånd genom att lindra fisketrycket på naturliga ekosystem och den biologiska mångfalden som dessa ekosystem stödjer. Projektmålen omfattar att utforska alternativ teknik för att stödja ett vattenbruk som är hållbart och som har färre kombinerade miljö- och socioekonomiska konsekvenser än nuvarande praxis. Specifikt syftar detta projekt till att minska sårbarheten hos småskaliga bönder genom att undersöka ersättning i fiskfoderingredienser genom användning av lokala hållbara metoder för produktion av biomassa / biofloc.  Projektet kommer att utnyttja näringsfördelarna med att använda kombinationer av mikroalger och bakteriell biomassa som ersättning för fiskmjöl som härrör från viltfångad fisk, en praktik som har bidragit till uttömning av vilda fiskbestånd och minskande av tillgängligt fiskprotein för mänsklig konsumtion. Vi kommer också att titta på biomassa som ersättning för växtbaserade foderingångar, baserat på idén att lokalt tillgängligt, billigt foder ger en fördelaktigare miljöpåverkan än att transportera soja och andra foder över stora avstånd med hjälp av billiga fossila bränslen. Kostnaden för dessa traditionella foderingångar och otillförlitliga försörjningskedjor för dessa foder rapporteras vara den mest citerade faktorn som förhindrar utveckling av hållbar småskalig fiskodling för att möta hushållens näringsbehov. Betydande forskning har visat att många fiskar och kräftdjur betar på biofilm och biofloc, särskilt i larvstadier, och att de har näringsrika fördelar med det. Vår forskning kommer att undersöka ett nytt tillvägagångssätt för att förbättra näringskvaliteten hos biofilm / biofloc som ‘aquafeeds’. Enkel teknik för att producera biofilm / biofloc utvecklas alltmer, men är för närvarande inte allmänt använda. Genom att experimentera med ny teknik för att ‘så ut’ biofilm på odlingsutrustning kan det vara möjligt att förbättra näringskvaliteten hos foder för lokala producenter. Eftersom dessa tekniker inte kräver sofistikerade metoder kan de hjälpa till att göra foderingångar tillgängliga även för småskaliga bönder på landsbygden där tillgången till andra foderkällor är opålitlig eller för dyr för att använda för vattenbruksproduktion.

FAO listar resultatmålen för SDG 2 som att: bekämpa brist på tillgång till mat, undernäring, småproduktivitet och inkomster, hållbart och fjädrande jordbruk och biodiversitet inom jordbruket.  Den föreslagna forskningen är anpassad till FN: s hållbara utvecklingsmål för att främja naturbaserade lösningar för att mata en växande världsbefolkning. Vattenbruk är en av världens snabbast växande livsmedelsproduktionssektorer, eftersom efterfrågan av högkvalitativt protein ökar medan marint fångstfiske är på en statisk eller sjunkande nivå. Akvakulturproduktionen kan kompensera för krympande vilda bestånd genom att lindra fisketrycket på naturliga ekosystem och den biologiska mångfalden som dessa ekosystem stödjer. Projektmålen omfattar att utforska alternativ teknik för att stödja ett vattenbruk som är hållbart och som har färre kombinerade miljö- och socioekonomiska konsekvenser än nuvarande praxis. Specifikt syftar detta projekt till att minska sårbarheten hos småskaliga bönder genom att undersöka ersättning i fiskfoderingredienser genom användning av lokala hållbara metoder för produktion av biomassa / biofloc.  Projektet kommer att utnyttja näringsfördelarna med att använda kombinationer av mikroalger och bakteriell biomassa som ersättning för fiskmjöl som härrör från viltfångad fisk, en praktik som har bidragit till uttömning av vilda fiskbestånd och minskande av tillgängligt fiskprotein för mänsklig konsumtion. Vi kommer också att titta på biomassa som ersättning för växtbaserade foderingångar, baserat på idén att lokalt tillgängligt, billigt foder ger en fördelaktigare miljöpåverkan än att transportera soja och andra foder över stora avstånd med hjälp av billiga fossila bränslen. Kostnaden för dessa traditionella foderingångar och otillförlitliga försörjningskedjor för dessa foder rapporteras vara den mest citerade faktorn som förhindrar utveckling av hållbar småskalig fiskodling för att möta hushållens näringsbehov. Betydande forskning har visat att många fiskar och kräftdjur betar på biofilm och biofloc, särskilt i larvstadier, och att de har näringsrika fördelar med det. Vår forskning kommer att undersöka ett nytt tillvägagångssätt för att förbättra näringskvaliteten hos biofilm / biofloc som ‘aquafeeds’. Enkel teknik för att producera biofilm / biofloc utvecklas alltmer, men är för närvarande inte allmänt använda. Genom att experimentera med ny teknik för att ‘så ut’ biofilm på odlingsutrustning kan det vara möjligt att förbättra näringskvaliteten hos foder för lokala producenter. Eftersom dessa tekniker inte kräver sofistikerade metoder kan de hjälpa till att göra foderingångar tillgängliga även för småskaliga bönder på landsbygden där tillgången till andra foderkällor är opålitlig eller för dyr för att använda för vattenbruksproduktion.

In these systems, incumbents typically seek to remain in power by manipulating electoral frameworks. On the African continent, such efforts have frequently been met by protests that have taken many forms. In spite of the growing occurrence of both autocratic electoral manipulation and popular protests, the significant issue of the dynamics and scope of protest mobilisation is understudied. This project analyses when and why disparate and temporary protest movements evolve into cohesive coalitions and how this affects the ability of protest movements to achieve their aims. The project will investigate this question in four selected countries: Burkina Faso, Burundi, Kenya and Uganda, in order to develop theoretically informed comparisons. This multidisciplinary project draws on expertise from anthropology and political science. Through its multidisciplinary approach and comparative design, the project contributes to theoretical and methodological development as well as empirical knowledge in the fields of electoral authoritarianism and popular protests. I många utvecklingsländer har politik under det senaste decenniet präglats av styrelseskick som är varken genuint demokratiska eller fullt ut auktoritära. I sådana system försöker sittande regeringar ofta manipulera ramverken för politiska val för att behålla makten. I många länder på den afrikanska kontinenten har sådana försök från regeringars sida mötts av både parlamentariska och utomparlamentariska protester. Trots den tilltagande förekomsten av såväl auktoritärt manipulerande av politiska val som protester så är den viktiga frågan om hur proteströrelsernas dynamik och förmåga påfallande outforskad. Det här projektet analyserar när och varför spretande proteströrelser mot politiskt manövrerande kring politiska val i auktoritär riktning leder till sammanhållna koalitioner och hur det påverkar rörelsernas förmåga att uppnå sina mål.

Research on civil society–state relations has yet to develop a theory that can account for the complexity and variations of their relations and interactions on the continuum between authoritarian and democratic rule. Previous research has commonly adopted divergent theoretical frameworks for explaining civil society – state relations under democratic and under authoritarian rule. This project explores how different levels/scales of authoritarian and democratic rule shape possibilities for civic action through in-depth case studies of state – labour relations in two countries, one formally qualified as democratic, India, and one as authoritarian, Ethiopia. Taking negotiations around minimum wages as an entry point, we will analyse when and how trade unions have been able to place labour demands on the political agenda and when and to what extend labour demands have been legislated on an adhered to. Drawing on archival data going back to the 1960s and semi-structured interviews will allow us to (1) compare civil society – state relations under different levels/scales of authoritarian and democratic rule, (2) shed light on how the reduction/enlargement of civic space shape possibilities for civic action and (3) understand similarities and differences in civil society – state relations under different levels/scales of authoritarian versus democratic rule. Hur kan vi förstå civilsamhällets möjligheter till inflytande i olika politiska regimer? Sedan 2017 har en våg av strejker dragit in över Etiopien, ett land som ofta beskrivs som en auktoritär stat. Samtidigt har arbetare i olika sektorer i Indien, som ofta kallats världens största demokrati, lagt ned arbete och protesterat mot regeringen Modis arbetsrättsreformer. Fallen visar på civilsamhällets potentiella kraft – den nationella politiska dagordningen sätts inte enbart av regeringar, utan civilsamhället kan ha en påtaglig inverkan i auktoritära såväl som demokratiska stater. Vissa länders regeringar tenderar att i mediebevakningen slentrianmässigt beskrivas som järnhårda diktaturer, medan andras beskrivs som öppna samhällen och demokratier. Bakom sådana generiska beskrivningar döljs ofta en mycket mer komplex och motsägande verklighet, speciellt i utvecklingskontexter där stora delar av ekonomin och människors levnadsvillkor befinner sig i en process av ständig omstörtning, och där statens relationer med civilsamhället kontinuerligt omdefinieras.När stora nya sociala grupper, så som lönearbetare, organiserar sig sker en rad förskjutningar. Bland dessa är vissa betingade av de nya civilsamhällessammanslutningar som bildas och stärks. Ofta har staten sina givna intressen av att, växelvis, kontrollera, påverka, eller pacificera liknande sammanslutningar, åtminstone för att se till att inte de regerande partiernas egna politiska agenda åsidosätts. Går denna process för långt krymper det offentliga rummet till en sådan grad att vi talar om en regelrätt diktatur. Men ofta driver civilsamhällesorganisationer processen i motsatt riktning genom stora omvälvande aktioner, som de som beskrivs ovan, men också genom vardagliga kontakter, påverkansarbete och opinionsbildning. I detta ligger en viktig grogrund för demokratisk utveckling.Forskning om det civila samhället saknar emellertid adekvata teorier för att förklara hur civilsamhällets inflytande varierar över tid och mellan olika regimer. Genom att titta på interaktionen mellan stat och civilsamhälle i två valda länderna ämnar vi att beskriva och förklara hur det offentliga rummet växelvist krymper och ökar över tid. De empiriska studierna kommer vi använda som grund för att utveckla ett teoretiskt ramverk som syftar till att förstå statens relation till civilsamhället bättre. Vi tittar specifikt på arbetstagarorganisationer och frågan om minimilöner för att belysa det offentliga rummets föränderlighet. Under olika perioder har frågan om minimilöner sjunkit bort från den nationella agendan, medan arbetstagarorganisationer har marginaliserats. Men under andra perioder har arbetstagarorganisationer lyckats mobilisera människor bakom krav, placera frågor på den nationella politiska agendan, driva på lagstiftning och kontrollera att denna lagstiftning har åtföljts. Länderna vi har valt att studera, Indien och Etiopien, är två länder som ofta har beskrivits som väsensskilda – det förra som ’världens största demokrati’, och det senare som en diktatur – men i båda fallen har länderna över tid varit mer och mindre demokratiskt och auktoritärt. Med dessa båda fall kan vi således fånga civilsamhällets relation till staten under olika grader av demokrati och auktoritärt styre. Vi fokuserar på minimilöner i analysen av civilsamhällets relation till staten. Minimilöner är ett bra fall då frågan i regel engagerar och mobiliserar aktörer i civilsamhället till den grad att stater, oavsett regimtyp, inte kan ignorera påtryckningarna. Fokus på minimilöner tillåter oss alltså att fånga statens relation till civilsamhället över tid i båda länder. Projektet lämnar ett viktigt bidrag till vår förståelse för hur civilsamhället och staten interagerar i olika regimtyper vilket är direkt användbart för alla biståndsprojekt som syftar till att främja civilsamhället.

Information Communication Technology (ICT) provides clients with access to information, self-evaluation, and self-management. ICT-supported programs in persons’ home environment are recommended when there are long distances to health care. Our previous feasibility study suggested beneficial effects on self-efficacy and occupational performance and satisfaction of a mobile phone supported and family-centred rehabilitation intervention (F@ce) after stroke in Uganda. The purpose of present proposal is to implement and evaluate F@ce on functioning in ADL and participation in everyday life among persons with stroke and their families. With recommendations on evaluation of complex interventions both outcomes and processes will be studied and hence both quantitative and qualitative methods will be applied. In a randomized controlled trial we will evaluate F@ce compared to ordinary rehabilitation in urban/rural Uganda regarding; self-efficacy, perceived performance and participation in everyday activities, independence in ADL, health care utilization and the families´ perceived participation in everyday activities. Qualitative data will explore experiences of people with stroke and family members of participating in F@ce. This research program has a multidisciplinary perspective for sustainable rehabilitation, a prerequisite for better living conditions for people with stroke in low/middle income countries. Det saknas interventioner och forskning kring rehabilitering i Sub-Sahara Afrika för personer som haft stroke och för deras familjer. Projektet är en fortsättning på ett forskningsprogram där en modifierad version av en svensk rehabiliteringsintervention har intergrerats i en mobiltelefon-applikation (F@ce) för personer med stroke och deras familjer. En förstudie i Uganda visade att F@ce var användbar men innan vidare rekommendationer kan ges behöver interventionen prövas och utvärderas för en större grupp personer med stroke, både på landsbygd och i storstad i Uganda. Syftet med detta projekt är att implementera och utvärdera en modell för mobiltelefonbaserad familjecentrerad rehabilitering efter stroke vars mål är att understödja aktivitet och delaktighet i vardagslivet för personer som har haft stroke och deras familjer. Interventionen som vänder sig till personer som har haft en stroke pågår under 8 veckor och utvärderas genom att man jämför en interventionsgrupp med en grupp som får sedvanlig rehabilitering. I den tidigare förstudien framkom det att personer som fått den mobiltelefon och familjecentrerade rehabiliteringen efter stroke upplevde att de förbättrat sitt aktivitetsutförande samt upplevde en högre kompetens i utförande av vardagsaktiviteter. Att använda mobiltelefon för att understödja rehabilitering skulle därför kunna ge möjlighet till rehabilitering för personer med stroke och deras familjer som bor långt ifrån rehabiliteringskliniker eller saknar tillgängliga transportmedel, vilket ofta är fallet i Sub-Sahara Afrika såsom i Uganda.Projektet kommer att innefatta fyra olika delstudier som använder både kvalitativa och kvantitativa metoder vilket är rekommenderat i denna typ av icke-farmakologiska interventionsstudier med hög komplexitet. Studie 1 kommer att genomföras på landsbygden för att studera de konsekvenser av stroke som personer med stroke och deras närstående upplever. Studie 2 kommer att utvärdera den mobiltelefonunderstödda familjecentrerade rehabiliteringsinterventionen F@ce genom att använda en randomiserad kontrollerad design för att inkludera en interventionsgrupp och en kontrollgrupp som deltar i sedvanlig rehabilitering. Baserat på resultat från den tidigare förstudien har en beräkning utförts utifrån en bedömning gällande tilltron till den egna förmågan för att genomföra aktiviteter i vardagslivet och det framkom att den planerade studien behöver omfatta 174 deltagare i studien. Även kvalitativa intervjuer kommer att genomföras med personer med stroke och familjemedlemmar i syfte att beskriva deras upplevelser under rehabiliteringsprocessen (Studie 3). I Studie 4 kommer en utvärdering av processen att implementera F@ce interventionen att genomföras. Kunskapen från dessa studier skulle kunna användas till att utveckla och utvärdera en hållbar modell för att utbilda hälsoarbetare i interventionen. Forskningsprogrammet har ett tvärvetenskapligt perspektiv genom att forskare från olika discipliner deltar och samarbetar med IT tekniker, hälso- och sjukvårdspersonal samt personer som drabbats av stroke och deras familjer för att kunna utveckla hållbara rehabiliteringsåtgärder. Detta är en förutsättning för bättre levnadsvillkor för personer med stroke och deras familjer i låg- och medel inkomstländer.Projektets förväntade betydelse: Då det idag saknas rehabiliteringsprogram för personer med stroke i Uganda kommer detta projekt att generera ny kunskap om vilken effekt en intervention som använder mobiltelefon har, samt hur den kan användas i rehabilitering efter stroke. Detta kan i sin tur bidra till att öka tillgängligheten och minska kostnaderna för dessa rehabiliteringsinsatser. Projektet kommer att innebära en direkt implementering av forskningsbaserad kunskap inom rehabilitering men kommer även att bidra till nya forskningsbaserade modeller som använder en mobiltelefon, och som kan implementeras i både nationella och internationella sammanhang.

Detta är en förutsättning för bättre levnadsvillkor för personer med stroke och deras familjer i låg- och medel inkomstländer.Projektets förväntade betydelse: Då det idag saknas rehabiliteringsprogram för personer med stroke i Uganda kommer detta projekt att generera ny kunskap om vilken effekt en intervention som använder mobiltelefon har, samt hur den kan användas i rehabilitering efter stroke. Detta kan i sin tur bidra till att öka tillgängligheten och minska kostnaderna för dessa rehabiliteringsinsatser. Projektet kommer att innebära en direkt implementering av forskningsbaserad kunskap inom rehabilitering men kommer även att bidra till nya forskningsbaserade modeller som använder en mobiltelefon, och som kan implementeras i både nationella och internationella sammanhang.

As our currently used antibiotics lose efficiency, we risk rapidly increasing number of untreatable infections leading to an increased number of lethal cases, longer hospital stays, and related suffering and economic burden. Antibiotic resistance is expected to hit developing countries especially hard, with 90% of the lethal infections predicted to happen in Africa and Asia.This study aims to make use of East African indigenous knowledge to use natural resources in finding new ways to control bacterial infections. Following an ethnomedical survey, medicinal plants will be collected in Kenya and Tanzania. Their constituents will be isolated, and identified by NMR and MS analyses. The bioactivity and toxicity of the isolated constituents will be determined using bacterial and cell-based assays. The biochemical pathways targeted by the most promising bioactive substances will be identified by chemical genomics. Advanced NMR techniques will subsequently be used to identify the binding mode of the substances to their protein targets to support their development into drugs.Besides achieving high scientific goals, the project aims the multidisciplinary training of East African PhD students. It will support the economic development of East Africa by strategic knowledge transfer and by promoting patient safety on the use of plants as a result of the scientific investigation of ethnomedical practices.

However, this fragile gain is threatened by emerging resistance to insecticides among malaria mosquitoes and by drug resistance by the malaria parasites. Knowledge of the natural vector ecology is now recognised as a prerequisite for malaria elimination and eradication, and can be harnessed in the development of new strategies for vector control. Plant feeding plays a pivotal role in vector biology and offers novel ways to manipulate the connection between plant and vector to weaken or eliminate pathogen transmission, either by itself or as a component of integrated vector control. However, we have limited understanding of how malaria mosquitoes select plants for feeding, and how the natural diversity of plants affects mosquito competence for malaria parasites. The purpose of this study is to identify the mechanism by which malaria mosquitoes select host plants to obtain sugars needed for survival and reproduction, and how this behaviour is affected by the interaction of secondary metabolites in plant nectar and malaria parasites. The aim of the project is to harness the properties of attractive host plants for the development of odour-bait technology, and to identify plant secondary compounds that have detrimental effects on the development and survival of malaria parasites. Results of this project may further be used in health and policy decisions for the reduction of malaria prevalence. Malaria är en infektionssjukdom som smittar via myggor som bär på en parasit. Nästan hälften av jordens befolkning löper risk att smittas av malaria. Fortfarande är det bästa skyddet mot malaria att skydda sig mot myggor. Sedan början av 2000-talet fram till nu har antalet dödsfall i malaria halverats tack vare program som gratis distribuerar insekticidbehandlade myggnät. På grund av resistens mot dessa insekticider har man dock under senare år märkt av en stagnering eller till och med en ökning av antalet dödsfall. Nya metoder behövs för att bromsa och vända denna utveckling. En ökad förståelse för myggornas ekologi och beteende behövs för att identifiera nya bekämpningsmetoder. I denna studie avser vi att identifiera de mekanismer malariamyggor använder sig av för att hitta nektar som de behöver för sin överlevnad. Vidare planerar vi att undersöka hur detta beteendet påverkas av om myggorna är infekterade med parasiten. Studien kommer att utföras i nära samarbete med forskare i Burkina Faso och Etiopien.Myggor använder sig av sitt doftsinne för att lokalisera blommor där de kan hitta nektar som de behöver som energi. I ett pågående projekt med Addis Abeba Universitet har vi identifierat ett trettio-tal blommande växter som är mycket vanligt förekommande på landsbygden i östra Afrika. Genom att analysera beteendet hos två arter malariamyggor och gula febernmyggan har vi identifierat de växter som de mest föredrar. Vi har även genom kemisk analys, och elektrofysiologiska avledningar från myggornas antenner, identiferat de doftämen som myggorna reagerar på. I detta projekt avser vi att ta fram en doftblandning, baserad på denna djuplodande analys, som kan användas för att attrahera myggor i fältförsök. Dessa försök kommer att lägga grunden till en metod som på sikt kan reducera malaria och andra myggburna sjukdomar. Dessa försök kommer att bedrivas i södra Etiopien där vi installerat infrastruktur för storskaliga fältförsök.Vilken växt som malariamyggorna suger nektar på kan ha en stor påverkan på parasiten och därmed spridningen av malaria, vilket vi visat i tidigare försök. Tidigare försök har även påvisat att parasiten kan påverka myggans beteende vad gäller val av växt. I denna studie avser vi att utöka denna analys nämnvärt. Likt detektiver kommer vi att analysera vilka växter malariamyggor naturligt suger nektar från, och om detta val påverkas av om de bär på parasiten eller inte. Här kommer vi att samla in myggor från platser i Burkina Faso och Etiopien som lider av en mycket hög nivå av malariainfektioner. Genom att analysera växt-DNA som vi extraherar från myggans mage kommer vi ta fram information om vilka växter de naturligt föredrar och om detta val påverkas av parasiten. Denna information kommer att lägga grunden till andra försök där vi hoppas få svar på om det är parasiten eller myggan som styr detta val.Vi har indikationer på att infekterade myggor kan medicinera sig själv för att bli av med parasiter. Detta kan ske genom att de dricker nektar som innehåller giftiga så kallade sekundära metaboliter, som finns hos vissa växtarter. Genom att analysera nektar från de växter som vi identifierar i vårt tidigare detektivarbete, kommer vi först att identifiera om denna innehåller sekundära metaboliter. Vi vet redan att vissa av de arter vi är intresserade av, traditionellt har använts för att behandla malaria hos människor. Man har dock aldrig undersökt om malariamyggorna själva använder sig av detta knep. I vår analys kommer vi att undersöka vilken effekt dessa sekundära metaboliter har på dels parasiten dels myggan.Sammantaget är projektets mål att identifiera hur vi kan dra nytta av malariamyggans behov av att hitta blommande växter i vår strävan att bekämpa en av världens mest allvarliga infektionssjukdomar.  Projektet kommer även lägga en grund för framtida policybeslut kring vilka växter som bör planteras nära bebyggelse för att negativt påverka malariaförekomsten.

Agroforestry (AF) with contour farming techniques is suggested as a solution to reduce soil erosion and land degradation, while improving farm productivity, food and nutrition security and aid in climate change adaptation. This project will assess options for profitable, sustainable, diversified farming systems on sloping land through integration of fruit trees, annual crops and perennial fodder crops. Specific objectives are to evaluate AF-contour farming systems´ potential (1) to buffer extreme weather events and contribute to climate change adaptation and resilience, (2) for soil conservation, system productivity and profitability, and identify success factors, (3) redesign mature AF systems to optimise productivity and profitability, and (4) to sustainably enhance smallholder livelihoods and factors affecting adoption.

Jordbrukare i Sydostasiens högländer begränsas av låg inkomst och utbildningsnivå samtidigt som de branta sluttningarna utgör en särskild utmaning för områdenas utveckling. Dessa områden är hem för etniska minoriteter och befolkningsandelen som lever i fattigdom är högre än i andra delar av dessa länder. Svårigheter att investera och hitta marknader för insatsmedel och produkter försvårar en hållbar utveckling till välstånd. En ökande befolkning och låga skördar gör att även branta sluttningar odlas upp vilket leder till förlust av skogsareal och ett jordbruk som inte är hållbart. De odlingsmetoder som används med ensidig majsodling och bränning av skörderester leder till erosion och stora förluster av kol från marken, vilket både ökar mängden växthusgaser i atmosfären och minskar markens bördighet. Oregelbunden nederbörd, svag markstruktur och litet skydd från levande eller död vegetation är faktorer som leder till kraftig erosion, jordskred, markförstöring och igenslamning av vattendrag. Agroforestry (trädjordbruk) där man bearbetar och arrangerar träd och grödor i horisontella linjer längs sluttningen (konturodling) har framhållits som en möjlighet att minska erosionen och samtidigt öka jordbrukets produktivitet, livsmedels- och näringssäkerheten hos landsbygdsbefolkningen, samt öka samhällets motståndskraft mot klimatförändringar. Till exempel har den ekonomiska återhämtningstiden efter torka och skadliga skyfall visat sig vara kortare för jordbruk som tillämpar agroforestry än för dem med odling av enbart ettåriga grödor. Träd, grödor och husdjur bör dock integreras på olika sätt beroende på höjdläge, sluttningarnas lutning samt jordbrukarnas kunskapsnivå, resurser och marknadstillgång. Det finns kunskapsluckor om hur agroforestry påverkar både trädens och grödornas produktivitet, samt om sambandet mellan vegetationstäcke, minskning av erosion och effekter på markbördigheten, speciellt på lång sikt. Det saknas också kunskap om hur systemen påverkar lantbrukarnas möjlighet att försörja sig på jordbruket, och hur möjligheterna att tillämpa agroforestry varierar mellan olika samhällsgrupper (kvinnliga/manliga lantbrukare, etniska grupper, inkomstgrupper). Det här projektet ska utvärdera olika system för agroforestry, och hur de påverkar jordbrukets tålighet mot klimatförändringar, hushållens inkomst, markbördighet och miljöpåverkan, samt hur goda lösningar kan implementeras i större skala för att förbättra småbrukarnas livssituation. Vi skall särskilt utvärdera:potentialen att mildra effekterna av extrema väderhändelser och bidra till anpassning till och tålighet för ett förändrat klimat,effektivitet vad gäller markskydd, ökad näringseffektivitet och ogräskontroll, samt vilka faktorer som främst bidrar till förbättringar,om systemens effektivitet och lönsamhet kan höjas ytterligare utifrån lärdomarna i (1, 2, 4), samtpotentialen att på ett hållbart sätt förbättra levnadsförhållandena för småjordbrukare, identifiera lämpliga agroforestrysystem för olika förutsättningar, samt faktorer som försvårar respektive understödjer att metoderna tas i bruk i större skala. Projektet ska använda sig av befintliga fältförsök på gårdar, lantbrukargruppers ’experimentlandskap’ (’demonstrationsodlingar’ över större ytor (50ha)) och grunddata från ett pågående projekt i nordvästra Vietnam och där insamla ytterligare data för att utvärdera de testade systemens potential att möta utmaningarna och bidra till hållbar utveckling och förbättrade levnadsförhållanden i Sydostasiens högländer. Utöver att göra undersökningar i de befintliga försöken och demonstrationsodlingarna kommer projektet att testa potentiellt förbättrade metoder inne i demonstrationsodlingarna och även att genomföra intervjuundersökningar och gruppdiskussioner med kvinnor och män som är lantbrukare och med deras rådgivare samt slutligen återkoppla resultaten från projektet till dessa och policyutvecklare med förslag på genderanpassade lösningar.

Previous evidence indicates that IMPower can reduce sexual violence by 40-60%, but little is known about its effect on other types of GBV (physical, psychological) among boys as well as girls, or if it protects against other SRHR outcomes (e.g. unwanted pregnancy).We will conduct a cluster-randomized trial in Cape Town townships in collaboration with the Desmond Tutu HIV Foundation, Ujamaa-Africa, University of Western Cape and Karolinska Institutet. Twenty schools (N=1600 male and female students aged 10-19) will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to intervention (7 weeks, 2-hour sessions on gender norms, empowerment, self-defense) or standard life-skills, with follow-up at 12 and 18 months. This is combined with a cost-effectiveness analysis (cost per averted case of GBV), and qualitative process evaluation to understand implementation facilitators/barriers.The project will generate new evidence on effective methods to prevent GBV and improve SRHR among adolescents in South Africa – ranked as the world’s most unequal country with extreme rates of violence and HIV. Such evidence is urgently needed in order to enable sustainable scale-up in other settings of poverty and oppression where few effective programs currently exist. Könsrelaterat våld (gender-based violence, GBV) är ett globalt samhällsproblem och kränkning av mänskliga rättigheter. GBV består av fysiskt, sexuellt eller psykiskt våld grundat i könsrelaterade ojämlika maktförhållanden, och drabbar framförallt flickor och kvinnor även om pojkar och män också kan utsättas. En tredjedel av alla världens kvinnor uppges ha blivit slagna, tvingade till sex eller på annat sätt utsatta för GBV någon gång i livet. Detta våld börjar tidigt, och ungdomar (särskilt unga kvinnor i Afrika söder om Sahara) löper hög risk. En sydafrikansk studie fann att upp till 86% av kvinnor 16–24 år i Western Cape (där detta projekt kommer utföras) upplevt fysiskt eller sexuellt våld i samband med en date. Nya typer av insatser behövs för att bryta denna onda cirkel. Våra preliminära resultat visar tydligt att detta är både genomförbart och nödvändigt.Syftet med detta projekt är att förebygga GBV genom den skolbaserade insatsen IMPower som avser att främja jämställda könsnormer, sexuellt samtycke och hälsosamma beteenden bland 10–19-åringar i slumområden runt Kapstaden, Sydafrika. Studier från Kenya visar att IMPower kan halvera antal nya våldtäktsfall bland flickor samt förbättra könsstereotypiska attityder och öka chansen att pojkar ingriper för att stoppa våld. Kunskap saknas dock om IMPower har positiva effekter på olika typer av GBV (fysiskt, psykologiskt, sexuellt), och om den leder till att killar utövar mindre våld samt minskar deras egen utsatthet för GBV (25% av sydafrikanska killar 13–17 år har blivit sexuellt utnyttjade).Projektet genomförs i tre faser: förberedelse (2020), intervention (2020), och uppföljning (2021-2022). Tjugo skolor (1600 studenter) lottas till antingen intervention eller kontroll och följs i 18 månader. Insatsen består av 7 veckors interaktiva 2-h sessioner om jämställda könsnormer, sexuellt samtycke, strategier för tjejer att bemöta olika typer av våld och trakasserier (inklusive verbalt/fysiskt självförsvar utifrån högriskkontexten) och för pojkar att ingripa om de ser andra utsättas för våld eller hot. Projektet är högst genomförbart tack vare att befintlig infrastruktur används i samarbete med det starkaste forskningsinstitutet i Afrika, Desmond Tutu HIV Foundation i Kapstaden, samt den ideella Kenyanska organisationen Ujamaa som utvecklat IMPower.GBV underminerar både social och ekonomisk utveckling och är ett allvarligt hot mot folkhälsa, särskilt sexuell och reproduktiv hälsa och rättigheter (SRHR), genom ökad risk för hivinfektion, fysisk såväl som psykisk ohälsa (ångest, depression) samt sexuellt och narkotikarelaterat riskbeteende. GBV bottnar i stereotypiska könsnormer som upprätthåller mäns våld mot kvinnor (och andra män) och begränsar kvinnors möjlighet att bestämma över sin kropp och sexualitet, utbildning, arbete och tillgång till hälsovård. Trycket att leva upp till dessa normer är särskilt stort under ungdomsåren, vilket gör det till en särskilt viktig tid för insatser.Detta är så vitt vi vet den första studien som utför och utvärderar en GBV-förebyggande insats med mål att gynna unga män lika mycket som kvinnor. Vår effektivitetsanalys kommer att fokusera på GBV erfarenheter, attityder och beteenden bland både pojkar och flickor, och tillämpa rigorösa kvantitativa och kvalitativa metoder. Vi kommer dessutom att mäta om insatsen påverkar sexuell och reproduktiv hälsa (t.ex., kondomanvändning, hiv-testning, oönskad graviditet) samt mental hälsa, och följa ungdomar över tid, vilket inte gjorts tidigare.Ett unikt bidrag är den hälsoekonomiska utvärderingen som uppskattar kostanden per förhindrat fall av GBV – information som är avgörande för att beslutsfattare ska kunna prioritera insatser och resurser på bästa möjliga sätt. Detta kombineras med en processutvärdering i syfte att skapa en hållbar modell som kan replikeras och utökas i andra högriskmiljöer för GBV globalt.Att bekämpa GBV är avgörande för att världen ska kunna uppnå flera av hållbarhetsmålen, främst mål 5 (jämställdhet mellan kvinnor och män) men även minskad fattigdom (1), god hälsa (3), god utbildning för alla (4), ojämlikhet (10), säkra städer (11), fred och utveckling (16). Det är även ett viktigt steg i Sveriges strävan att bidra till ökad jämställdhet globalt. Resultaten från projektet kommer inte endast att gynna sydafrikanska ungdomar i Kapstadens slumområden, utan även kunna användas i andra fattiga låginkomst miljöer med hög risk för GBV och relaterade SRHR-konsekvenser.

Previous evidence indicates that IMPower can reduce sexual violence by 40-60%, but little is known about its effect on other types of GBV (physical, psychological) among boys as well as girls, or if it protects against other SRHR outcomes (e.g. unwanted pregnancy).We will conduct a cluster-randomized trial in Cape Town townships in collaboration with the Desmond Tutu HIV Foundation, Ujamaa-Africa, University of Western Cape and Karolinska Institutet. Twenty schools (N=1600 male and female students aged 10-19) will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to intervention (7 weeks, 2-hour sessions on gender norms, empowerment, self-defense) or standard life-skills, with follow-up at 12 and 18 months. This is combined with a cost-effectiveness analysis (cost per averted case of GBV), and qualitative process evaluation to understand implementation facilitators/barriers.The project will generate new evidence on effective methods to prevent GBV and improve SRHR among adolescents in South Africa – ranked as the world’s most unequal country with extreme rates of violence and HIV. Such evidence is urgently needed in order to enable sustainable scale-up in other settings of poverty and oppression where few effective programs currently exist. Könsrelaterat våld (gender-based violence, GBV) är ett globalt samhällsproblem och kränkning av mänskliga rättigheter. GBV består av fysiskt, sexuellt eller psykiskt våld grundat i könsrelaterade ojämlika maktförhållanden, och drabbar framförallt flickor och kvinnor även om pojkar och män också kan utsättas. En tredjedel av alla världens kvinnor uppges ha blivit slagna, tvingade till sex eller på annat sätt utsatta för GBV någon gång i livet. Detta våld börjar tidigt, och ungdomar (särskilt unga kvinnor i Afrika söder om Sahara) löper hög risk. En sydafrikansk studie fann att upp till 86% av kvinnor 16–24 år i Western Cape (där detta projekt kommer utföras) upplevt fysiskt eller sexuellt våld i samband med en date. Nya typer av insatser behövs för att bryta denna onda cirkel. Våra preliminära resultat visar tydligt att detta är både genomförbart och nödvändigt.Syftet med detta projekt är att förebygga GBV genom den skolbaserade insatsen IMPower som avser att främja jämställda könsnormer, sexuellt samtycke och hälsosamma beteenden bland 10–19-åringar i slumområden runt Kapstaden, Sydafrika. Studier från Kenya visar att IMPower kan halvera antal nya våldtäktsfall bland flickor samt förbättra könsstereotypiska attityder och öka chansen att pojkar ingriper för att stoppa våld. Kunskap saknas dock om IMPower har positiva effekter på olika typer av GBV (fysiskt, psykologiskt, sexuellt), och om den leder till att killar utövar mindre våld samt minskar deras egen utsatthet för GBV (25% av sydafrikanska killar 13–17 år har blivit sexuellt utnyttjade).Projektet genomförs i tre faser: förberedelse (2020), intervention (2020), och uppföljning (2021-2022). Tjugo skolor (1600 studenter) lottas till antingen intervention eller kontroll och följs i 18 månader. Insatsen består av 7 veckors interaktiva 2-h sessioner om jämställda könsnormer, sexuellt samtycke, strategier för tjejer att bemöta olika typer av våld och trakasserier (inklusive verbalt/fysiskt självförsvar utifrån högriskkontexten) och för pojkar att ingripa om de ser andra utsättas för våld eller hot.

The postwar city thus often plays a destructive role in peacebuilding. Yet research indicates that it also is able to play a constructive role because it is well-positioned to transcend conflict lines and foster coexistence. There is, however, little knowledge on how and why the postwar city is able to do just that. This proposed project will therefore ask: how is the postwar city able to advance peacebuilding between its citizens, across the city itself, and within its wider context?To provide answers I will theorise the postwar city’s ability to play a constructive role in peacebuilding and then – through extensive fieldwork in three postwar cities (Beirut, Mitrovica, Nicosia) – explore how and why different strategies are able to assist this constructive ability. The overall aim is to better understand the dynamics through which the postwar city transcends conflict lines and fosters coexistence. The proposed project will develop an original theorisation of how the postwar city’s constructive ability functions; theorise how and why different strategies can assist it; as well as generate novel data on Beirut, Mitrovica, and Nicosia. It will thus contribute to efforts at building peace in the postwar city. I allt högre utsträckning tenderar efterkrigsstäder att ställa till med problem när fred byggs. Efterkrigstäder är städer där konflikten fortsätter trots att kriget är slut. Konfliktparterna i dessa städer må ha slutat skjuta på varandra, men de är fortfarande oense om det mesta – exempelvis vem som ska styra staden, hur gemensamma resurser ska fördelas, eller om alla får bo där de vill. Freden är således fortfarande långt borta i dessa städer. Detta gör att de ofta är osäkra för människor att bo i då det kan vara riskabelt att befinna sig i ”fel” del av staden, ofta fungerar dåligt som städer då det är viktigare vem som bestämmer än vad som bestäms, och ofta leder till problem bortom stadsgränserna då städer är ekonomiska och politiska enheter som påverkar sina bredare kontexter. På grund av att konflikten tenderar att fortsätta i efterkrigsstaden blir dess roll i fredsbyggande insatser – alltså insatser som ämnar hantera bakomliggande orsakerna till kriget samt bygga samhällen som löser problem fredligt – ofta destruktiv och konfliktgenererande. Detta är dock inte hela sanningen. Efterkrigsstaden kan också spela en konstruktiv och konfliktförebyggande roll i byggandet av fred. Dock vet vi väldigt lite om hur efterkrigsstaden förmår att spela just en sådan roll. Vi vet väldigt lite om hur konfliktparterna försonas, hur gemensamma institutioner bildas, eller hur bredare fredsbyggande insatser ges en knuff framåt. Detta projekt ämnar undersöka efterkrigsstadens förmåga att spela en konstruktiv roll i byggandet av fred och frågar därför: hur kan efterkrigsstaden bidra till fredsbyggande insatser mellan stadens medborgare, inom staden som helhet, samt i stadens bredare kontext? För att besvara denna fråga kommer projektet att studera tre olika efterkrigsstäder: Beirut (Libanon), Mitrovica (Kosovo), samt Nicosia (Cypern). Projektet är uppdelat i två delar. Den första delen kommer att teoretisera och undersöka hur och varför efterkrigsstaden förmår att spela en konstruktivt roll i olika fredsbyggande insatser. Olika exempel kommer studeras och slutsatser dras gällande vilka dynamiker som leder till att konfliktparter försonas, att gemensamma institutioner bildas, och att bredare fredsbyggande insatser ges en knuff framåt. Den andra delen kommer därefter att kartlägga vilka strategier som förstärker samt underminerar efterkrigsstadens förmåga att spela en sådan roll. Projektet kommer att undersöka både strategier som explicit strävar efter att bygga fred och strategier som går att hitta i alla städer (såsom planeringsbeslut eller byggandet av skolor). Förhoppningen är att identifiera strategier som både bidrar till samt hindrar fred. De tre städerna som kommer att undersökas har alla problem med att deras konflikter fortsatt trots att kriget är slut. Detta gör att de är osäkra att bo i, dåligt fungerande, samt orsakar problem bortom stadsgränserna. Beirut har fortfarande problem med våld och lider av fler våldsdåd per invånare mellan kristna, sunniter, och shiiter än vad Libanon i stort gör. Nicosia är uppdelat i två parallellt fungerande grekiska och turkiska socio-politiska sfärer där södra delen av staden ligger i den grekiska delen av Cypern och den norra delen ligger i den turkiska delen. Mitrovica är också den plats som är svårast att komma överens om i Kosovo. Detta är dock inte hela sanningen då alla tre städerna också uppvisar en förmåga - som dock är väldigt obeforskad - att bidra konstruktivt till byggandet av fred. För att undersöka hur denna konstruktiva förmåga fungerar samt vilka strategier som förstärker den kommer jag att intervjua politiker, religiösa ledare, stadsplanerare, aktivister, poliser, samt ”vanliga” invånare. Jag kommer också delta i och observera olika aktiviteter i städerna samt organisera fokusgrupper. Dessutom kommer jag att analysera policy-dokument, rapporter från lokala organisationer, och opinionsundersökningar. Dessa djupgående studier av städerna kommer sedan att jämföras för att se vad för likheter och skillnader som går att utröna. Projektet är väldigt relevant för städer som har upplevt krig och nu försöker bygga fred (såsom Belfast, Kirkuk, och Mostar). Relevansen är även stor för städer (ofta i utvecklingsländer) som inte upplevt krig men ändå liknande problem som efterkrigsstadens – såsom segregation, våld, och korruption.

Dagens förbränning av fossila bränslen måste då ersättas av hållbara lösningar, som ger våra barn och barnbarn samma möjligheter att leva sina liv, som har erbjudits tidigare generationer. En uppenbar källa till energi är solljuset som varje dag ger ett överskott av instrålad energi som motsvarar ca 10 000 gånger det som vi människor dagligen använder, t ex för transporter, värme, kyla, ljus och industriella processer. Den mest förädlade formen av energi som vi känner till idag är elektrisk energi. Denna form är relativt enkel att transportera och vi har uppfunnit mycket effektiva teknologier för att omvandla denna energiform till olika nyttigheter. Metoder för att kunna konvertera solljuset till elektrisk energi har därför en stor potential att kunna bidra till vår planets framtida fossilfria energiförsörjning. Det idag mest använda sättet är att utnyttja kiselbaserade solceller. Dessa är relativt billiga, men verkningsgraden är låg. Det pågår därför intensiv forskning för att hitta andra material, och kombinationer av material, som bättre tar till vara den instrålade solenergin. Samtidigt måste flera andra kriterier bli uppfyllda, t ex får materialet inte vara miljöfarligt eller dyrt och processerna som används för att tillverka solcellerna i detta material måste också vara enkla, billiga och lämpa sig för massproduktion. Många förslag har framkommit, men det är ännu inte möjligt att säga vilken solcell som kommer att användas i framtiden. Det viktiga nu är att på bred front undersöka många tänkbara varianter och låta resultaten styra. Det som föreslås i detta projekt är materialet titandioxid, TiO2. Det är ett vanligt förekommande ämne (=billigt), som används t ex som pigment i målarfärger och i solskyddskräm (=ofarligt). I sin normala form är detta material dock inte så lämpat för att absorbera solljus och att konvertera det till elektrisk ström, eftersom materialet absorberar mer av den ultravioletta strålningen (vilket är just den egenskap som gör det lämpat för solskyddskräm). Om man däremot modifierar materialet kan man skräddarsy egenskaperna så att precis rätt typ av ljus absorberas. I detta projekt ska vi använda jonstrålar för denna materialmodifiering. Denna metod ger stora möjligheter att förändra egenskaperna, dels genom att "skjuta" in andra atomer som förändrar elektriska och optiska egenskaper, dels genom att förändra strukturen i materialet och speciellt ytans struktur. Detta kan leda till att ytan blir hårdare och bättre står emot tidens tand och man kan även uppnå en hög antireflektivitet, som leder till att ytterst lite av solljuset reflekteras och i stort sett allt ljus absorberas och kan konverteras till elektricitet. Tanken med TiO2-skiktet är att använda det i modifierad form ovanpå ett annat solcellsmaterial och då samtidigt kunna utnyttja tre utomordentliga egenskaper hos skiktet: 1. Mekaniskt tåligt och långtidsstabilt 2. Antireflexivt 3. Kan skräddarsys till att komplettera det underliggande skiktets ljusabsorption Sweden The Swedish Research Council The Swedish Research Council +46 8 546 44 000 vetenskapsradet@vr.se www.vr.se Box 1035, 101 38 Stockholm, Sweden Pakistan Energy research Energy Policy Utveckling av passiverande och optisk förbättrat ytskikt till kiselsolceller.

Metoder för att kunna konvertera solljuset till elektrisk energi har därför en stor potential att kunna bidra till vår planets framtida fossilfria energiförsörjning. Det idag mest använda sättet är att utnyttja kiselbaserade solceller. Dessa är relativt billiga, men verkningsgraden är låg. Det pågår därför intensiv forskning för att hitta andra material, och kombinationer av material, som bättre tar till vara den instrålade solenergin. Samtidigt måste flera andra kriterier bli uppfyllda, t ex får materialet inte vara miljöfarligt eller dyrt och processerna som används för att tillverka solcellerna i detta material måste också vara enkla, billiga och lämpa sig för massproduktion. Många förslag har framkommit, men det är ännu inte möjligt att säga vilken solcell som kommer att användas i framtiden. Det viktiga nu är att på bred front undersöka många tänkbara varianter och låta resultaten styra. Det som föreslås i detta projekt är materialet titandioxid, TiO2. Det är ett vanligt förekommande ämne (=billigt), som används t ex som pigment i målarfärger och i solskyddskräm (=ofarligt). I sin normala form är detta material dock inte så lämpat för att absorbera solljus och att konvertera det till elektrisk ström, eftersom materialet absorberar mer av den ultravioletta strålningen (vilket är just den egenskap som gör det lämpat för solskyddskräm). Om man däremot modifierar materialet kan man skräddarsy egenskaperna så att precis rätt typ av ljus absorberas. I detta projekt ska vi använda jonstrålar för denna materialmodifiering. Denna metod ger stora möjligheter att förändra egenskaperna, dels genom att "skjuta" in andra atomer som förändrar elektriska och optiska egenskaper, dels genom att förändra strukturen i materialet och speciellt ytans struktur. Detta kan leda till att ytan blir hårdare och bättre står emot tidens tand och man kan även uppnå en hög antireflektivitet, som leder till att ytterst lite av solljuset reflekteras och i stort sett allt ljus absorberas och kan konverteras till elektricitet. Tanken med TiO2-skiktet är att använda det i modifierad form ovanpå ett annat solcellsmaterial och då samtidigt kunna utnyttja tre utomordentliga egenskaper hos skiktet: 1. Mekaniskt tåligt och långtidsstabilt 2. Antireflexivt 3. Kan skräddarsys till att komplettera det underliggande skiktets ljusabsorption Sweden KTH/Kungliga Tekniska Högskolan The Swedish Research Council KTH/Kungliga Tekniska Högskolan 9.5 - Enhance scientific research, upgrade the technological capabilities of industrial sectors in all countries, in particular developing countries, including, by 2030, encouraging innovation and substantially increasing the number of research and development workers per 1 million people and public and private research and development spending. 9.5 - Förbättra forskningen och industrisektorernas tekniska kapacitet i alla länder, i synnerhet utvecklingsländerna, bland annat genom att till 2030 uppmuntra innovation och väsentligt öka det antal personer som arbetar med forskning och utveckling per 1 miljon människor liksom de offentliga och privata utgifterna för forskning och utveckling.

It specifically looks at the career movements of development professionals across consulting firms and public agencies and NGOs, in order to understand possible changes in the motivations and identification of aid workers. It also studies the social networks of professionals and how they may influence contractual relations. The purpose is three-fold: to generate comparative knowledge of non- and for-profit aid in contractual relations; to unravel the ways in which these two aid realms are intertwined; and to highlight the social dimensions of development contracting through ethnographic inquiry into everyday practices and professionals. The study also aims to advance anthropological theory of “Aidland.” It shifts focus from the personal lives of NGO workers and bureaucrats from donor countries, to the practices and relations among workers and organizations engaged in contractual work across two long-term partner countries, Sweden and Tanzania. Three main methods are used: interviews with aid workers, participant observation in consulting firms, and a multi-sited case study of the procurement and implementation of a contracted assignment Mer än häften av världens statliga bistånd till utvecklingsländer går idag till att upphandla varor och tjänster från externa aktörer, framförallt vinstdrivande företag i givarländer. Många av de aktörer som är verksamma inom områden vi normalt associerar med ideellt eller offentligt arbete, såsom fattigdomsbekämpning, allmän sjukvård, utbildning och jämställdhet, är idag kommersiella företag. Detta forskningsprojekt studerar sådana företag aktiva inom utvecklingsbistånd. Det undersöker hur dessa företag kan jämföras med icke-vinstdrivande biståndsarbete, samt vad  som ligger till grund för deras växande roll och inflytande i internationellt utvecklingssamarbete. Dessa frågor har attraherat förvånansvärt lite uppmärksamhet i forskning och offentlig debatt om internationellt bistånd och utveckling. I Sverige liksom globalt har diskussionen präglats av en politisk debatt mellan företagens lovsång över privatsektorns kostnadseffektivitet, och en handfull forskare, journalister och civila samhällsrepresentanter som kritiserar hur vinstdrivande företag skor sig på ansträngningar att minska den globala fattigdomen. Samtidigt påvisar denna debatt en relativt samstämmig syn på anledningarna till vinstdrivande företags ökade roll och inflytande, och denna grundar sig i en uppfattning om dessa företag som markant olika ”traditionella” biståndsaktörer. Denna uppfattning kan te sig besynnerlig i ljuset av att biståndsvärlden allt mer består av samarbeten och olika slags hybridiseringar mellan civila samhällsorganisationer, statliga biståndsmyndigheter och privata företag. Inom det upphandlade biståndsarbetet är det vanligt att kontrakterade företag använder civila samhällsorganisationer som under-entreprenörer och vice versa, och många företag har icke-vinstdrivande systerbolag.Detta forskningsprojekt studerar personer och aktörer verksamma inom upphandlat bistånd, med fokus på de nätverk och karriärvägar som sträcker sig över konsultfirmor och statliga och ideella biståndsorganisationer. Projektets fokus har tre syften: att producera jämförande kunskap om skillnader och likheter mellan vinstdrivande och icke vinstdrivande biståndsarbete; att belysa de många olika sätt som statligt, ideellt och vinstdrivande  aktörer samverkar och överlappar inom det allt mer komplexa biståndslandskapet; samt att utforska de hittills okända sociala dimensionerna av upphandlat bistånd och vinstdrivande biståndsaktörer genom en etnografisk studie av dess vardagliga arbete och de människor som utför det. Projektet fokuserar på konsultarbete i och emellan Sverige och Tanzania, två länder med en lång historia av internationellt utvecklingssamarbete. Det sträcker sig över 3 år och består av tre huvudsakliga metoder. En är intervjuer med biståndsarbetare som arbetat inom både konsultfirmor och statliga institutioner i Sverige eller Tanzania. Fokus ligger på dessa personers karriärval, kontaktnät, och erfarenheter av skillnaderna och likheterna mellan vinst-drivande och icke-vinstdrivande biståndsarbete. En andra metod är deltagande observation inom två konsultfirmor (en i Tanzania och en i Sverige). I centrum står dessa firmors anställningsvillkor, kollegiala relationer, och vardagliga verksamhet, liksom relationen mellan firmornas klienter och de anställdas professionella bakgrund och kontaktnät. Den tredje metoden utgörs av en multilokal fallstudie av konsulttjänster upphandlade av Sida i Tanzania, där projektet följer hela processen från upphandling till utvärdering av utfört konsultarbete. Fokus ligger på relationerna och kopplingarna mellan personer, aktörer och diskurser, med syfte att undersöka de sociala dimensionerna av upphandlad biståndsverksamhet och det relationella arbete som det involverar.Utöver studiens bidrag till grundläggande, empirisk kunskap om upphandlat bistånd och vinstdrivande aktörer, ämnar studien utveckla senare års antropologiska forskning om internationellt utvecklingssamarbete.

Liberia är ett land i Västafrika med ca 5 miljoner invånare. Det är ett av världens absolut fattigaste länder. Efter flera decennier av inbördeskrig, drabbades landet dessutom 2014-2015 av det största ebolautbrott världen någonsin upplevt, och nästan 5000 personer dog. Personal från hälso- och sjukvården drabbades extra hårt eftersom de hade ökad risk i och med sitt arbete, och nästan 10% av läkare, sjuksköterskor och barnmorskor dog. Konsekvenserna av ebolautbrottet gick också långt utanför de direkta dödsfallen. Under utbrottet stängdes skolorna i nästan ett helt år, vilket gjort att en generation av unga missat ett skolår. Rutinverksamhet som förlossningsvård och barnvaccinering sattes på undantag, något som resulterat i bl.a. mässlingsutbrott efter ebolautbrottets slut. Utbrottet drabbade också ekonomin hårt. Efter några år med efterlängtad tillväxt, sjönk denna kraftigt. Studier visar att upp till 20% av företag tvingades stänga, och i huvudstaden förlorade företag upp till 50% av sina anställda.Sammantaget gör detta att Liberia idag hamnar i botten vad gäller de flesta mått på utveckling, inklusive hälsomått. Mödradödligheten är bland de högsta i världen (nästan en kvinna dör per 100 förlossningar) och barnadödligheten liknar den Sverige hade på 1930-talet, där nästan 1 av 10 barn inte överlever till sin 5:e födelsedag.

Utvalda anställda (4-5 personer) ska under handledning av forskare från Folkhälsoinstitutet och KI utveckla forskningsplaner inom områden som är prioriterade av Folkhälsoinstitutet. Dessa områden inkluderar undernäring, mödra-, och barnadödlighet, HIV och hepatit, högt blodtryck och diabetes samt antibiotikaresistens. Målet är att de 4-5 personerna ska kunna arbeta med dessa projekt som anställda på Folkhälsoinstitutet i Liberia, men i tillägg registreras som forskarstuderande på KI och där gå forskarutbildningskurser. Det säkerställer att projekten genomförs med högsta vetenskapliga kvalitet, samtidigt som de utvalda personerna genomgår forskarutbildning.

The AFROMONITOX network will be a collaboration with scientists and practitioners designing affordable water treatment solutions for domestic water intended for irrigation use in a rural village in Egypt. The project aims to advance possibilities for assessment of the water treatment efficacy by designing sensitive yet cost-effective bioassays needed to secure water safety. The network will contribute to the tailored solutions for wastewater treatment and reuse by integrating ecotoxicological tests in the water quality monitoring. We will establish a collaboration with scientists engaged in the existing projects (Afrialliance Action Group and a Public-Private Partnership project) in the area of wastewater reuse and sanitation in rural areas of African countries. Our collective expertise in water quality assessment is highly complementary, and we foresee an efficient collaboration, both scientific and practical. The project will improve our understanding and tools in hazard assessment in various environmental settings. It will have high socioeconomic impact and permit long-term and economically-sustainable control of wastewater use for irrigation in rural communities. Also, it will contribute to the public awareness and on-site education as well as Stockholm University´s education in the ecotoxicological assessment of wastewater treatment. Projektet AFROMONITOX kommer att fokusera på utveckling av biologiska testsystem för vattenkvalitet med fokus på småskaliga anläggningar för vattenrening. Som ett modellsystem kommer vi använda byn Nagaa Diab i Egypten. I låginkomstländer tvingar vattenbrist befolkningen på landsbygden att använda obehandlat eller bara delvis behandlat hushållsavloppsvatten för att bevattna sina småskaliga jordbruksmarker. Eftersom de lokala jordbrukarna inte känner till de sammanhängande hälsoriskerna och för att det saknas en hållbar hantering av lokala myndigheter, så breder sig denna praxis ut mer och mer från låg- till medelinkomstländer. För att kunna öka jordbrukskapaciteten och så småningom kunna få en säker livsmedelproduktion i dessa länder, och därmed minska svält, behövs forskning på alternativa och kostnadseffektiva lösningar för avloppsvattenbehandling och återanvändning av avloppsvatten. I Egypten finns det för närvarande 40% brist på vatten för bevattning av jordbruksmark på grund av flera olika faktorer, så som geopolitiska förändringar i Nildeltan.Vårt studiesystem, Nagaa Diab, har ingen infrastruktur för behandling av avloppsvatten i byn. På grund av vattenbrist använder befolkningen i Nagaa Diab obehandlat, förorenat avloppsvatten för att bevattna sina småskaliga grödor. I nuläget finns det två projekt i Nagaa Diab, en Affro-Alliance och ett lokalt offentligt-privat projekt, som försöker att utveckla ett kostnadseffektivt vattenbehandlingssystem (NBS) som ska ge lokalbefolkningen möjligheten att säkert återanvända avloppsvatten för bevattning. Vi kommer att utvärdera möjligheterna att utforma ett enkelt men ändå effektivt ekotoxikologiskt utvärderingssystem för att tillhandahålla en effektiv, hållbar och ändå prisvärd lösning för övervakningen av vattenkvalitet inom NBS.Projektet kommer att öka kunskapen om toxikologiska testsystem anpassade till specifika tillämpningar.

No indicator available - only a description of the activity results is published SE-0-SE-29-2019-03906-1 Sweden Wastewater reuse is an integral part of water demand management, particularly in rural areas suffering from water scarcity. The AFROMONITOX network will be a collaboration with scientists and practitioners designing affordable water treatment solutions for domestic water intended for irrigation use in a rural village in Egypt. The project aims to advance possibilities for assessment of the water treatment efficacy by designing sensitive yet cost-effective bioassays needed to secure water safety. The network will contribute to the tailored solutions for wastewater treatment and reuse by integrating ecotoxicological tests in the water quality monitoring. We will establish a collaboration with scientists engaged in the existing projects (Afrialliance Action Group and a Public-Private Partnership project) in the area of wastewater reuse and sanitation in rural areas of African countries. Our collective expertise in water quality assessment is highly complementary, and we foresee an efficient collaboration, both scientific and practical. The project will improve our understanding and tools in hazard assessment in various environmental settings. It will have high socioeconomic impact and permit long-term and economically-sustainable control of wastewater use for irrigation in rural communities. Also, it will contribute to the public awareness and on-site education as well as Stockholm University´s education in the ecotoxicological assessment of wastewater treatment. Projektet AFROMONITOX kommer att fokusera på utveckling av biologiska testsystem för vattenkvalitet med fokus på småskaliga anläggningar för vattenrening. Som ett modellsystem kommer vi använda byn Nagaa Diab i Egypten. I låginkomstländer tvingar vattenbrist befolkningen på landsbygden att använda obehandlat eller bara delvis behandlat hushållsavloppsvatten för att bevattna sina småskaliga jordbruksmarker. Eftersom de lokala jordbrukarna inte känner till de sammanhängande hälsoriskerna och för att det saknas en hållbar hantering av lokala myndigheter, så breder sig denna praxis ut mer och mer från låg- till medelinkomstländer. För att kunna öka jordbrukskapaciteten och så småningom kunna få en säker livsmedelproduktion i dessa länder, och därmed minska svält, behövs forskning på alternativa och kostnadseffektiva lösningar för avloppsvattenbehandling och återanvändning av avloppsvatten. I Egypten finns det för närvarande 40% brist på vatten för bevattning av jordbruksmark på grund av flera olika faktorer, så som geopolitiska förändringar i Nildeltan.Vårt studiesystem, Nagaa Diab, har ingen infrastruktur för behandling av avloppsvatten i byn. På grund av vattenbrist använder befolkningen i Nagaa Diab obehandlat, förorenat avloppsvatten för att bevattna sina småskaliga grödor. I nuläget finns det två projekt i Nagaa Diab, en Affro-Alliance och ett lokalt offentligt-privat projekt, som försöker att utveckla ett kostnadseffektivt vattenbehandlingssystem (NBS) som ska ge lokalbefolkningen möjligheten att säkert återanvända avloppsvatten för bevattning. Vi kommer att utvärdera möjligheterna att utforma ett enkelt men ändå effektivt ekotoxikologiskt utvärderingssystem för att tillhandahålla en effektiv, hållbar och ändå prisvärd lösning för övervakningen av vattenkvalitet inom NBS.Projektet kommer att öka kunskapen om toxikologiska testsystem anpassade till specifika tillämpningar.

Activities will aim to strengthen research competence, and develop research on specific themes. Long-term, the collaboration will promote research-based knowledge on the management of communal conflict, including specific processes and methods, such as of devolution, local policing, and informal conflict resolution mechanisms. The network will enable research with a high degree of locally specific knowledge as well as comparative expertise. Previous research has improved the understanding of communal conflict, but a problem exists in that such conflicts are approached from different perspectives, including environmental studies, political science, sociology, and criminology. Our project will involve scholars with expertise from different research domains, and thereby synthesize findings on the conditions of successful community-based conflict management. While focus is primarily on Kenya, the findings have broad application on a continent where thousands of people are killed in localized, communal conflict each year. Våldsamma lokala konflikter kräver årligen tusentals liv i Afrika söder om Sahara, och bidrar till att dämpa ekonomisk, demokratisk och samhällelig utveckling. Forskningen om våldsförebyggande strategier och konflikthantering har i allt högre utsträckning kommit att betona vikten av konfliktlösningsstrategier som involverar lokalsamhällen.

Samtidigt är vår förståelse av hur dessa konflikter kan lösas och hanteras begränsad till stor del på grund av en brist på samarbete mellan olika vetenskapliga discipliner som studerar detta fenomen – såsom kriminologi, statsvetenskap, fredsforskning, och sociologi – och dels på grund av en brist på samarbete mellan forskare i de berörda länderna, som har en djup och kontextualiserad förståelse av dessa konflikter, och dominerande internationella forskningsdebatter. Genom att upprätta detta samarbete avser vi att överbrygga båda dessa luckor. Nätverket kommer att involvera forskare från olika discipliner och länder, med ett gemensamt intresse och kompetens avseende hantering och lösning av lokala våldsamma konflikter.De involverade forskarna kommer att bedriva forskning relaterad till fyra övergripande frågor. En första handlar om hur decentralisering av politisk och ekonomisk makt – en reform som ofta införs för att minska spänningarna på nationell nivå i länder där den centrala statsmakten är omtvistad – påverkar lokala konflikter. En annan fråga handlar om polisens roll och under vilka omständigheter den statliga säkerhetsapparaten kan hantera och förhindra lokala våldsamma konflikter på ett effektivt och rättssäkert sätt. Parallellt med statens institutioner finns ofta informella strukturer och institutioner på lokal nivå som är relevanta för konflikthantering, och en tredje tematik inom nätverket är vilken roll sådana institutioner spelar och under vilka förutsättningar ed kan bidra till fredlig konfliktlösning. En fjärde fråga handlar om hur internationella aktörer kan stödja lokal konfliktlösning, med andra ord hur man kan identifiera legitima samarbetspartners och vilken typ av strategier som kan tillämpas, samt under vilka omständigheter sådant stöd kan få oavsedda negativa konsekvenser.  Genom att bygga ett starkt nätverk mellan svenska och kenyanska forskare kommer detta projekt stärka forskningen kring dessa frågor. Kenya drabbas årligen av flertalet lokala våldsamma konflikter, och det finns stora variationer inom landet avseende hur dessa hanteras och med vilken effekt. Projektet kommer också att beröra, och vara relevant för, andra länder med en liknande dynamik. Aktiviteter inom projektet – som inkluderar en workshop i Uppsala, en i Nairobi, samt en panel vid en internationell konferens – kommer att knyta till sig ytterligare forskare från den berörda regionen, och därmed etablera en grund för fortsatt brett internationellt och interdisciplinärt samarbete. Sammantaget kommer detta nätverk att möjliggöra förbättrad och mer nyanserad forskning om hur lokala våldsamma konflikter kan hanteras och lösas, och är därmed av hög relevans för förståelsen av ett fenomen som årligen orsakar tusentals människors dödsfall.

Such a network is urgently needed as many African nations will or already are experiencing adverse impacts from climate change which will exacerbate existing sustainable development challenges such as poverty and food insecurity, as most recently seen in Zimbabwe and Mozambique as a result of cyclone Idai. L&D has become of great international concern, but major gaps in knowledge and effective practice still exist, particularly in the African context which has been been less prominent than other nations in shaping the debate and policy prescriptions. The aim of the FLAME network is to bring together Swedish L&D expertise with advanced African research on climate change impacts and policy solutions to mutually strengthen the international knowledge base and African scholarship in the L&D field. It does so through strategic knowledge exchange workshops, field trips and joint proposals for collaborative research with climate change scholars in Sweden, Mozambique, Malawi and Zimbabwe. The project has the potential to enhance African engagement in UNFCCC negotiations on L&D while strengthening Swedish support for sustainable development in LDCs by enhancing knowledge base and policy implications of L&D. The network directly contributes to achieving SDGs on climate action (#13), reduced inequality (#10) and gender equality (#5), among others. Afrikanätverket på förlust och skada (FLAME)Syftet med samarbetet är att utveckla det första Afrika-nätverket om förlust och skada (L & D) från klimatförändringar. Ett sådant nätverk är brådskande, eftersom många afrikanska länder kommer eller redan upplever negativa effekter från klimatförändringen, vilket kommer att förvärra befintliga utmaningar för hållbar utveckling, såsom fattigdom och livsmedelssäkerhet, som senast sett i Zimbabwe och Moçambique som ett resultat av cyklon Idai.L & D är förknippat med klimatförändringarnas negativa effekter, inklusive effekter relaterade till extrema väderhändelser (tex intensiv tyfoner) och långsamma klimathändelser (havsnivåhöjning). L & D anses vara distinkt från anpassning, eftersom effekterna ligger utanför vår förmåga att anpassa sig till och associeras med "irreversibla", icke-ekonomiska och potentiellt transformativa förändringar. Exempelvis kan senaste rapporter om 35% förlust av korallrev i Great Barrier Reef innebära irreversibel förlust av grundläggande ekosystemfunktion.Den mest omfattande undersökningen av L & D-stipendiet hittills visar tydligt att den nuvarande forsknings- och utvecklingsforskningen saknas både i afrikansk fokus och bidrag från afrikanska forskare. Det finns ett behov av att veta när, var och hur potentiella L & D kan upplevas i afrikanska länder samtidigt som de genomgår nationella och internationella politiska förhandlingar för att undvika eller kompensera för L & D som uppstår. Syftet med FLAME-nätverket är att sammanföra svensk L & D-expertis med avancerad afrikansk forskning om klimatpåverkan och politiska lösningar för ömsesidigt stärka den internationella kunskapsbasen och afrikanska stipendiet inom L & D-området. Det gör det genom strategiska kunskapsutbytesverkstäder och utveckling av gemensamma förslag till samarbetsforskning med forskare i klimatförändringarna i Sverige, Moçambique, Malawi och Zimbabwe. Projektet har potential att underlätta mer afrikanskt engagemang i UNFCCC-förhandlingar om forskning och utveckling, inklusive pågående debatter om hur man identifierar, mäter och slutligen finansierar klimatrelaterade förebyggande och återhämtningsinsatser. Detta kan dessutom stärka svenskt stöd för hållbar utveckling i de minst utvecklade länderna genom att öka kunskapsbasen och de politiska konsekvenserna av forskning och utveckling samt direkt bidra till att uppnå SDG om klimatåtgärder (# 13), minskad ojämlikhet (# 10) och jämställdhet (# 5). Nätverket har också potential att indirekt bidra till fattigdomsminskning (# 1), noll hunger (# 2), god hälsa och välbefinnande (# 3) och hållbart partnerskap för målen (# 17).Under två år kommer FLAME att driva skriv- och utvecklingsverkstäder, virtuella seminarier och utflykter i Afrika och Sverige.

Projektets resultat kommer att bli det första nätverket mellan Sverige och Afrika om klimatförändringens ytterligheter och konsekvenserna för marginaliserade och socioekonomiskt utestängda samhällen. Nätverket kommer att utveckla ett stort förslag om forskning och utveckling i Afrika samt sprida nya insikter som kommer att samlas under workshops och interaktioner till FN:s klimatkonferens COP och möten på hög nivå.

Within the international climate debate on strategies to mitigate climate change, there is a key focus on natural carbon sinks and their reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. There are, however, large gaps and uncertainties concerning the functioning and vulnerability of these sinks, especially with regard to coastal marine environments. The proposed project focuses on blue carbon sequestration and greenhouse gas exchange in tropical coastal environments in Tanzania, a developing country where climate change is the major threat, on top of multiple other stressors, to the health of societal and ecological systems. The major goal is to understand the carbon sink function and greenhouse gas exchange to identify hotspots of carbon sequestration within the complex seascape environment and to understand the fate of stored carbon as potential sources for greenhouse gas emissions. The research project will be performed using extensive field surveys in cooperation with Dar es Salaam and Dodoma Universities. The data will make it possible to develop conceptual models to identify areas for spatial conservation prioritization and will be highly useful for managers developing Marine Spatial Planning to safeguard climate regulation services of seascapes in developing countries in tropical areas. Att begränsa globala klimatförändringar med naturliga medel är idag det viktigaste alternativet för att möta hoten mot vår planet, men innebär samtidigt stora utmaningar för regeringar och beslutsfattare runt om i världen. Inom den internationella klimatdebatten om strategier för att mildra klimatförändringarna ligger ett centralt fokus på bevarandet av naturliga kolsänkor för att bibehålla dess minskande effekt på växthusgasutsläppen. Det finns emellertid stora luckor och osäkerhetsfaktorer kring funktionen och sårbarheten hos dessa naturliga kolsänkor, särskilt när det gäller kustmiljöer. Det föreslagna forskningsprojektet fokuserar på marina kolsänkor och växthusgasutbyte i tropiska kustmiljöer i Tanzania, ett utvecklingsland där klimatförändringarna är det största hotet, utöver flera andra stressorer, mot hälsan av de sociala och ekologiska systemen. Projektets huvudmål är att förstå kolsänksfunktionen och växthusgasutbytet i tropiska kusthabitat i syfte att identifiera s.k. hotspots av kol-bindning inom komplexa havsmiljömiljöer och att förstå vart lagrat kol till slut tar vägen, om de t.ex. är potentiella källor för utsläpp av växthusgaser. Forskningsprojektet kommer att utföras genom en serie omfattande fältundersökningar i samarbete med Dar es Salaam och Dodoma Universitet. Insamlade data kommer att göra det möjligt att utveckla konceptuella modeller för att identifiera områden som är speciellt värdefulla att bevara och kommer att vara mycket användbara för personal som utvecklar marin rumslig planering i syfte att skydda den klimatreglerande funktionen av kustnära havsmiljöer i tropiska utvecklingsländer.

Inom den internationella klimatdebatten om strategier för att mildra klimatförändringarna ligger ett centralt fokus på bevarandet av naturliga kolsänkor för att bibehålla dess minskande effekt på växthusgasutsläppen. Det finns emellertid stora luckor och osäkerhetsfaktorer kring funktionen och sårbarheten hos dessa naturliga kolsänkor, särskilt när det gäller kustmiljöer. Det föreslagna forskningsprojektet fokuserar på marina kolsänkor och växthusgasutbyte i tropiska kustmiljöer i Tanzania, ett utvecklingsland där klimatförändringarna är det största hotet, utöver flera andra stressorer, mot hälsan av de sociala och ekologiska systemen. Projektets huvudmål är att förstå kolsänksfunktionen och växthusgasutbytet i tropiska kusthabitat i syfte att identifiera s.k. hotspots av kol-bindning inom komplexa havsmiljömiljöer och att förstå vart lagrat kol till slut tar vägen, om de t.ex. är potentiella källor för utsläpp av växthusgaser. Forskningsprojektet kommer att utföras genom en serie omfattande fältundersökningar i samarbete med Dar es Salaam och Dodoma Universitet. Insamlade data kommer att göra det möjligt att utveckla konceptuella modeller för att identifiera områden som är speciellt värdefulla att bevara och kommer att vara mycket användbara för personal som utvecklar marin rumslig planering i syfte att skydda den klimatreglerande funktionen av kustnära havsmiljöer i tropiska utvecklingsländer.

Tillgången till kirurgi är orättvist fördelad och världens fattigaste tredjedel, där sjukdomsbördan är störst, har bara tillgång till 6.5% av den kirurgi som utförs årligen. Kirurgiska tillstånd skördar årligen fler liv än TBC, Malaria och HIV tillsammans. Utöver dessa dödsfall orsakar kirurgiska sjukdomar också betydande lidande. Mycket av detta skulle kunna undvikas med förbättrad tillgång på basal kirurgi, av god kvalitet, i tid. Kirurgi är också bland de mest kostnadseffektiva interventioner som finns!Global kirurgi har som mål att uppnå jämlikhet för alla människor som behöver kirurgisk sjukvård, med fokus på de som lever i delar av världen där tillgången på kirurgi är sämst. För att nå detta ambitiösa mål krävs omfattande investeringar. För att prioritera rätt krävs stora forskningsinsatser omfattande allt från hur vanliga vissa sjukdomar är till hur de bäst ska behandlas och vad det i slutändan skulle kosta. I första hand bör sjukdomar som bidrar till betydande sjuklighet och som kan behandlas framgångsrikt med kirurgi eller där kirurgi är avgörande för prognosen prioriteras. 220 miljoner människor lever med ljumskbråck som årligen kostar 40000 liv. Med 20 miljoner patienter opererade per år är det bland de vanligaste utförda operationerna. Den kirurgiska volymen otillräcklig i låg och medelinkomstländer där merparten av de 200 miljoner som inte opereras lever. För att råda bot på den avsaknad av specialistkompetenta kirurger som råder i låg och medelinkomstländer så tillämpas olika grader av så kallad "task sharing". Detta koncept innebär att andra personalkategorier, med kortare utbildning än kirurger tränas till att utföra små och stora kirurgiska ingrepp. Att opereras av en specialistkompetent kirurg är ovanligt, i Afrika söder om Sahara. Task sharing är vida spritt men extremt lite evidens för hur effektivt och säkert det är existerar. I detta nätverk har två kliniska prövningar om kirurgisk utbidning och task sharing kommit halvvägs. Efter ett år har det visat sig att läkare inte är sämre än specialister i kirurgi på att operera ljumskbråck i Ghana. I Sierra Leone har vi jämfört icke-läkare med vanliga läkare och där visade det sig att icke-läkarna hade lägre frekvens av recidiv av ljumskbråck ett år efter operationen. Patienterna ska också följas upp efter 3 år. Nästa steg är att undersöka hur sjukvårdspersonal utan tidigare exponering för kirurgi ska kunna utbildas på ett säkert och effektivt sätt. Inom nätverket har vi därför utvecklat en projektidé med tillhörande videomaterial och en kirurgisk modell för ljumskbråcksoperation. Ett nytt partnerskap med forskare på Mayo Clinic, som har gedigen erfarenhet av kirurgisk simulering och modeller, har initierats och kollegor i Indien har inkluderats i ansökan för att öka omfånget av forskningen. I projektet ska blivande kirurger, läkare och icke-läkare i kirurgisk träning (studenterna) genomgå programmet som kommer hållas i både låg (Sierra Leone), medel (Indien) och höginkomstländer (USA/Norge/Sverige). Hypotesen är att träning på modell kommer leda till snabbare och säkrare inlärning av operationer på patienter.  I LMIL är hälften av befolkningen barn. Barn drabbas av andra kirurgiska sjukdomar än vuxna. Medfödda missbildningar dödar årligen 300000 barn och barn är också överrepresenterade i traumastatistiken. Många barnliv skulle kunna räddas och livslångt lidande skulle kunna förebyggas genom kirurgi. Inom ramen för det anslag som nu söks så kommer utfall efter kirurgi hos barn i Uganda undersökas. En pilotstudie visade på hög dödlighet där flera fall borde ha kunnat undvikas. I den planerade studien så kommer barn följas från operationen fram till 30 dagar postoperativt. När ett barn dör eller drabbas av en allvarlig komplikation kommer teamet (kirurg, sjuksköterskor och andra) diskutera förloppet i detalj. Resultatet kommer leda till förslag på interventioner för att minska mortalitet och morbiditet efter barnkirurgi. En eller två interventioner kommer därefter prövas. Målet med forskningen som kommer bedrivas i detta nätverk är att tillsammans skapa bättre förutsättningar för kirurgi av hög kvalitet, till rimliga kostnader för människor som lever i länder med extremt begränsade ekonomiska resurser. Det enda sättet att nå detta mål är att systematiskt undersöka vad som ska göras, hur och av vem. Vi är övertygade om att samarbete alltid lönar sig och därför har detta nätverk skapats!

The Least Developed Countries (LDC) amongst them are the most vulnerable and they can learn from the success stories.In this project we bring together structuralist theories of long-term economic change with theoretical insights from institutional theory, demography and innovation studies to investigate the historical underpinnings of nationwide transformative capacity and potential transformation pathways of SIDS. In parallel, we conduct a broader quantitative study of how well the SIDS are achieving the ambitions of the Sustainability Development Goals (SDG) and we conduct in depth mixed methods studies of three LDC – Comoros, Haiti and Solomon Islands – and one success – Mauritius.

De har redan tagit första steget in i en framtid med tilltagande klimatförändringar som snart blir en verklighet för de flesta nationer. De leder vägen in i en tid som kräver teknisk förändring, innovativa lösningar och nya politiska åtaganden. Samtidigt är vissa öriken några av de fattigaste länderna i världen och de behöver få till ekonomisk tillväxt för att ha råd att hantera framtidens utmaningar.I vårt projekt ser vi små öriken som vetenskapliga laboratorium för att studera möjligheter till långsiktig socio-ekonomisk förändring och global hållbar utvecklig. Vi hävdar dels att öriken kan lära av varandra genom att de fattigaste kan dra lärdomar av de som lyckats bättre med sin tillväxtbaserade omvandling, dels att det är av globalt intresse att utforska och förstå hur små öriken hanterar ett klimat under förändring och hur de finner nya vägar mot en hållbar framtid. Medan vissa lösningar kommer vara kontextspecifika, kommer andra att lösa mer allmängiltiga problem.Projektet är väl integrerat i den existerande internationella forskningen om global och hållbar utveckling, men det finns betydande luckor som vi vill fylla och därmed driva forskningsfronten framåt. För det första kan vi som ekonom-historiker visa hur historiskt förankrade förändringsprocesser sträcker sig in i framtiden. Vi menar att förmågan att upptäcka och implementera nya lösningar är beroende av en historia av samlad kunskap, teknisk utveckling, hur väl de samhälleliga institutionerna fungerar, ekonomiska resurser, etc. För det andra, den nuvarande forskningen fokuserar vanligtvis på industrier och företag, men alla aktiviteter sker inom specifika socio-ekonomiska ramar som påverkar utfallet. Vi bidrar med att kartlägga och studera kontexten på global, regional, nationell och lokal nivå.Projektets övergripande syfte är att undersöka den historiska grunden för små örikens förmåga till förändring samt att förstå varför vissa nationer misslyckas med sina utvecklingsstrategier medan andra lyckas. Vi har två specifika delmål. Vi undersöker dels hur små öriken generellt har utvecklats över tid och rum, dels  potentiella utvecklingsvägar för några noga utvalda öriken genom att studera deras nuvarande förmåga till förändring. Vi prövar idén om att små örikens förmåga att förändras handlar om att utveckla processer och institutioner för att driva de strukturella förändringarna mot en framtid av socialt, ekologiskt och ekonomiskt hållbar utveckling. I en värld där det finns naturliga begränsningar för naturresurser, befolkningsmängd, konsumtion, etc. ser vi människan och hennes förmåga till innovation inom organisation och produktionssystem som den oändliga resursen.För att uppnå projektets syfte använder vi två parallella undersökningsstrategier. Vi genomför en kvantitativ kartläggning och analys av hur de av FN definierade 57 små örikena under utveckling (Small Island Developing States) uppfyller de globala målen för hållbar utveckling (Sustainable Development Goals). Samtidigt kommer vi att bedriva både kvantitativa och kvalitativa studier av förmågan till förändring hos fyra utvalda länder. Haiti, Komorerna och Solomonöarna representerar låginkomstländer och Mauritius är ett exempel på lyckad omvandling.

The situation is particularly alarming in Low- and Middle-Income Countries (LMICs) since surveillance systems and easy-to-use tools for monitoring are lacking. The goal of this project is to use Optical DNA Mapping (ODM) as a genetic tool in LMICs. ODM is a method for coarse genetic analysis of bacteria that identifies the bacteria and reveals the resistance genes they are carrying. The method will be implemented at the neonatal ward at Muhimbili National Hospital (MNH) in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. We have selected this setting for several reasons. First of all, Tanzania is one of many LMICs where simple microscopes are used in the clinical setting to diagnose tuberculosis. We will in this project repurpose these microscopes for ODM, which means that there is no extra cost for infrastructure. Second, we selected neonates because these patients are the most sensitive to resistant infections and have a high mortality. We therefore believe that any intervention that will result from this project will have immediate impact regarding decreased mortality. The project includes development of the ODM assay in Sweden, including adaptation to simple microscopy, a screen for resistant bacteria at the neonatal ward at MNH, teaching of staff at MNH in handling the ODM technique and finally implementation of ODM in routine testing in the neonatal ward at MNH. Antibiotikaresistens är ett av destora hoten mot global hälsa och vi är på väg emot en era där infektioner som länge varit möjliga att bota plötsligt blir dödliga igen. Problemen är extra alarmerande i låginkomstländer av ett flertal olika anledningar. En stor del av världens befolkning saknar tillgång till säkra toaletter och rent vatten vilket i sin tur markant ökar risken för att resistenta bakterier sprider sig. Det leder i sin tur till att bredspektrumantibiotika behöver användas,vilket försvårar situationen ytterligare. Antibiotikaresistens är också en enorm ekonomisk börda i den här delen av världen där multiresistenta infektioner kan orsaka en kostnad som motsvarar en årslön eftersom de sociala skyddsnätverken är minimala och den drabbade får stå för hela kostnaden själv. För tidigt födda barn är extra känsliga för resistenta infektioner då dom har ett begränsat immunförsvar och dödligheten på neonatalavdelningar i låginkomstländer är hög.En viktig del av att minska bördan av resistenta bakterier är att utveckla metoder för att identifiera och karakterisera bakterier och resistens som är lämpliga för användning i låginkomstländer. Det finns två strategier för detta, antingen utveckla nya billiga metoder eller att på ett billigt sätt använda dyrare utrustning som redan finns i de här länderna. Ett exempel som vi ska utnyttja i det här projektet är att diagnostik av tuberkulos i många låginkomstländer sker med fluorescensmikroskopi. Detta bygger till viss del via ett subventioneringsprogram som gör det möjligt för dessa länder att köpa mikroskopen till ett fördelaktigt pris.Vi vill i det här projektet använda dessa mikroskop för att med en metod som kallas ”optical DNA mapping” (ODM) analysera DNA från resistenta bakterier. ODM bygger på en grov bild av bakteriernas DNA, en så kallad streckkod, som kan användas för vidare analys. Metoden kan dels bestämma vilken typ av bakterie det är i ett prov och vilka resistensgener den bär på. Den har hittills använts på avancerade mikroskop. Därför är ett av de stora målen med projektet att optimera metoden för enklare mikroskop. Vi är övertygade om att detta kommer vara möjligt då det ODM protokoll vi utvecklat bygger på variationer i en stark fluorescens-signal vilket gör att enklare mikroskop med mindre känslig kamera är tillräckligt.Vi kommer att fokusera på så kallade enterobakterier, och framförallt Escherichia coli (EC) och Klebsiella pneumoniae (KP), och en del av projektet är att optimera ODM metoden så att det är möjligt att säga vilken grupp avEC eller KP som finns i et prov. Vi har preliminära data som tyder på att det är möjligt och kommer undersöka detta ytterligare i projektet. Detta är viktigt eftersom olika grupper av EC och KP är väldigt olika farliga när det gäller de infektioner de orsakar.Vi kommer i första läget implementera metoden på neonatalavdelningen på Muhimbili National Hospital (MNH) i Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. Vi har valt denna avdelning då, som diskuterat ovan, barn som är för tidigt födda är en grupp av patienter som är extra känsliga för infektioner och små framsteg i metodologi kan leda till markant förbättrad vård. MNH är också ett sjukhus som har stor erfarenhet av internationella samarbeten och vi har i vår närhet neonatalläkare med erfarenhet av vård på MNH, vilket underlättar implementeringen.Studierna på MNH är uppdelade i tre faser. I den första ska vi med traditionella metoder studera resistensläget på neonatalavdelningen för att ha en utgångspunkt för fortsatta studier. Vi ska undersöka bakterier i patienter när dom kommer till avdelningen och när dom lämnar samt jämföra dessa bakterier med de som orsakar infektioner på barn på avdelningen. Prover som samlats in under den här perioden kommer skickas till Sverige för att vara med i optimeringen av metoden. Detta gör att vi redan tidigt i projektet kommer ha detaljerad information om bakterier som cirkulerar på avdelningen och det blir möjligt att preliminärt föreslå sätt att minska spridning. I nästa steg ska vi träna personal på MNH på ODM metoden i Sverige och på plats på MNH och samla ytterligare isolat vilket kommer göra att bilden klarnar ytterligare. Tredje året är tanken att använda metoden parallellt med existerande metoder i klinisk rutin. Detta kommer att ge en ännu tydligare överblick över hur smitta sprids på sjukhuset och vi kommer i slutet av tredje året bidra med en tydlig plan för hur miljön på neonatalavdelningen kan förbättras för att minska spridning.

Antibiotikaresistens är ett av destora hoten mot global hälsa och vi är på väg emot en era där infektioner som länge varit möjliga att bota plötsligt blir dödliga igen. Problemen är extra alarmerande i låginkomstländer av ett flertal olika anledningar. En stor del av världens befolkning saknar tillgång till säkra toaletter och rent vatten vilket i sin tur markant ökar risken för att resistenta bakterier sprider sig. Det leder i sin tur till att bredspektrumantibiotika behöver användas,vilket försvårar situationen ytterligare. Antibiotikaresistens är också en enorm ekonomisk börda i den här delen av världen där multiresistenta infektioner kan orsaka en kostnad som motsvarar en årslön eftersom de sociala skyddsnätverken är minimala och den drabbade får stå för hela kostnaden själv. För tidigt födda barn är extra känsliga för resistenta infektioner då dom har ett begränsat immunförsvar och dödligheten på neonatalavdelningar i låginkomstländer är hög.En viktig del av att minska bördan av resistenta bakterier är att utveckla metoder för att identifiera och karakterisera bakterier och resistens som är lämpliga för användning i låginkomstländer. Det finns två strategier för detta, antingen utveckla nya billiga metoder eller att på ett billigt sätt använda dyrare utrustning som redan finns i de här länderna. Ett exempel som vi ska utnyttja i det här projektet är att diagnostik av tuberkulos i många låginkomstländer sker med fluorescensmikroskopi. Detta bygger till viss del via ett subventioneringsprogram som gör det möjligt för dessa länder att köpa mikroskopen till ett fördelaktigt pris.Vi vill i det här projektet använda dessa mikroskop för att med en metod som kallas ”optical DNA mapping” (ODM) analysera DNA från resistenta bakterier. ODM bygger på en grov bild av bakteriernas DNA, en så kallad streckkod, som kan användas för vidare analys. Metoden kan dels bestämma vilken typ av bakterie det är i ett prov och vilka resistensgener den bär på. Den har hittills använts på avancerade mikroskop. Därför är ett av de stora målen med projektet att optimera metoden för enklare mikroskop. Vi är övertygade om att detta kommer vara möjligt då det ODM protokoll vi utvecklat bygger på variationer i en stark fluorescens-signal vilket gör att enklare mikroskop med mindre känslig kamera är tillräckligt.Vi kommer att fokusera på så kallade enterobakterier, och framförallt Escherichia coli (EC) och Klebsiella pneumoniae (KP), och en del av projektet är att optimera ODM metoden så att det är möjligt att säga vilken grupp avEC eller KP som finns i et prov. Vi har preliminära data som tyder på att det är möjligt och kommer undersöka detta ytterligare i projektet. Detta är viktigt eftersom olika grupper av EC och KP är väldigt olika farliga när det gäller de infektioner de orsakar.Vi kommer i första läget implementera metoden på neonatalavdelningen på Muhimbili National Hospital (MNH) i Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. Vi har valt denna avdelning då, som diskuterat ovan, barn som är för tidigt födda är en grupp av patienter som är extra känsliga för infektioner och små framsteg i metodologi kan leda till markant förbättrad vård. MNH är också ett sjukhus som har stor erfarenhet av internationella samarbeten och vi har i vår närhet neonatalläkare med erfarenhet av vård på MNH, vilket underlättar implementeringen.Studierna på MNH är uppdelade i tre faser. I den första ska vi med traditionella metoder studera resistensläget på neonatalavdelningen för att ha en utgångspunkt för fortsatta studier. Vi ska undersöka bakterier i patienter när dom kommer till avdelningen och när dom lämnar samt jämföra dessa bakterier med de som orsakar infektioner på barn på avdelningen. Prover som samlats in under den här perioden kommer skickas till Sverige för att vara med i optimeringen av metoden. Detta gör att vi redan tidigt i projektet kommer ha detaljerad information om bakterier som cirkulerar på avdelningen och det blir möjligt att preliminärt föreslå sätt att minska spridning. I nästa steg ska vi träna personal på MNH på ODM metoden i Sverige och på plats på MNH och samla ytterligare isolat vilket kommer göra att bilden klarnar ytterligare. Tredje året är tanken att använda metoden parallellt med existerande metoder i klinisk rutin. Detta kommer att ge en ännu tydligare överblick över hur smitta sprids på sjukhuset och vi kommer i slutet av tredje året bidra med en tydlig plan för hur miljön på neonatalavdelningen kan förbättras för att minska spridning.

The project will run over 3 years in Uganda. BACKGROUND: The importance of provision of highly effective reversible post abortion contraception in reducing maternal mortality and morbidity is being increasingly recognized. PAC is acknowledged as a priority intervention in order to achieve the SDGs especially in low income countries with a high burden of unsafe abortions. The use of medical post abortion care (mPAC) has increased access to care and optimized utilization of scarce medical, as well as human, resources.RATIONALE: While immediate insertion of IUC at surgical PAC is routine practice, a disadvantage with mPAC is the practice of delayed insertion of IUC (at 2-4 weeks post PAC), resulting in a high proportion of women not returning for the follow up and IUC insertion and thus risking a new unwanted pregnancy and unsafe abortion. Currently, data and guidelines on early post mPAC IUC insertion are lacking.METHOD: An initial evaluation of barriers to IUC uptake will be followed by a randomized, multicenter trial of the effectiveness, safety and acceptability of early insertion of IUC within 4 to 7 days after mPAC compared to IUC insertion after 2-4 weeks. We will randomize 2082 women in order to show non-inferiority with early insertion in device expulsion rates and higher use of IUC at 6 months post PAC. Bakgrund: Projektet syftar till att behandla och förebygga osäkert utförda aborter genom att öka tillgången till säker behandling av inkompletta aborter samt till effektiva preventivmedel efter denna behandling. Varje år görs globalt cirka 20 miljoner illegala och osäkert utförda aborter och de komplikationer dessa medför är en av de främsta orsakerna till mödradödsfall. Post abortion care (PAC) innebär behandling av ofullständiga aborter inklusive missfall. Genom ökad tillgång PAC samt till effektiva, säkra och accepterade preventivmedel och abortmetoder, kan dessa dödsfall förebyggas. Traditionellt utförs PAC med kirurgiska metoder. Våra tidigare studier har lett till en förenklad medicinsk behandling av ofullständiga aborter genom användning av misoprostol (abortpiller). Denna behandling är säker och effektiv och väl accepterad av kvinnor. En stor fördel är att den kan utföras av barnmorskor även inom primärvården där tillgång till läkare och möjlighet till kirurgisk behandling ofta saknas. Som ett led i att minska abortrelaterad dödlighet och sjuklighet bland kvinnor världen över ingår preventivmedel och preventivmedelsrådgivning som en viktig del i PAC. Flera studier har visat att man kan minska antalet oönskade graviditeter och aborter med hjälp av effektiva och långverkande preventivmedel, tex spiral, och att dessa är den metod som de flesta kvinnor trivs bäst med. En nackdel med medicinsk PAC behandling är att man inte sätter in spiral direkt vid behandlingen som man gör vid kirurgisk behandling. Flera studier har visat att kvinnan har som störst motivation att påbörja användning av ett effektivt preventivmedel inom några dagar efter aborten. Återbesök och spiralinsättning efter medicinsk PAC sker flera veckor efter behandlingen, vilket gör att många kvinnor inte dyker upp till besöket. Dessa kvinnor står då helt utan preventivmedel. Idag saknas studier på tidig spiralinsättning efter medicinsk PAC. Projektet: Projektet genomförs på Mulago sjukhus i Kampala i centrala Uganda och vid Gulu och Lira sjukhus i norra Uganda med tillhörande hälsocentraler. Hög fertilitet och låg preventivmedelsanvändning som leder till oönskade graviditeter med efterföljande osäkra aborter är vanligt i Uganda.

Resultatet av studierna kan komma att bidra till minskad mödradödlighet och sjuklighet, dels genom utveckling av bättre tillgång till säker vård efter abort och dels genom att förebygga oönskade graviditeter och därmed skador och komplikationer av osäkert utförda aborter.Förutom individuella effekter på kvinnors fysiska och psykiska hälsa kan resultaten även ge positiva effekter inom hälso- och sjukvårdssystemet genom färre vårdsökande kvinnor med komplikationer från osäkra aborter, och genom effektivare användning av medicinskt utbildad personal.

Proportion of expulsions after early vs delayed isertion of intrauterine contraception (IUC) after mPAC. Early insertion show to be safe and effective resulting I higher IUC use. Follow up ongoing No indicator available - only a description of the activity results is published SE-0-SE-29-2019-04256-1 Sweden AIM: The aim of this project is to increase access to highly effective and acceptable contraception at the time of post abortion care (PAC). The project will run over 3 years in Uganda. BACKGROUND: The importance of provision of highly effective reversible post abortion contraception in reducing maternal mortality and morbidity is being increasingly recognized. PAC is acknowledged as a priority intervention in order to achieve the SDGs especially in low income countries with a high burden of unsafe abortions. The use of medical post abortion care (mPAC) has increased access to care and optimized utilization of scarce medical, as well as human, resources.RATIONALE: While immediate insertion of IUC at surgical PAC is routine practice, a disadvantage with mPAC is the practice of delayed insertion of IUC (at 2-4 weeks post PAC), resulting in a high proportion of women not returning for the follow up and IUC insertion and thus risking a new unwanted pregnancy and unsafe abortion. Currently, data and guidelines on early post mPAC IUC insertion are lacking.METHOD: An initial evaluation of barriers to IUC uptake will be followed by a randomized, multicenter trial of the effectiveness, safety and acceptability of early insertion of IUC within 4 to 7 days after mPAC compared to IUC insertion after 2-4 weeks. We will randomize 2082 women in order to show non-inferiority with early insertion in device expulsion rates and higher use of IUC at 6 months post PAC. Bakgrund: Projektet syftar till att behandla och förebygga osäkert utförda aborter genom att öka tillgången till säker behandling av inkompletta aborter samt till effektiva preventivmedel efter denna behandling. Varje år görs globalt cirka 20 miljoner illegala och osäkert utförda aborter och de komplikationer dessa medför är en av de främsta orsakerna till mödradödsfall. Post abortion care (PAC) innebär behandling av ofullständiga aborter inklusive missfall. Genom ökad tillgång PAC samt till effektiva, säkra och accepterade preventivmedel och abortmetoder, kan dessa dödsfall förebyggas. Traditionellt utförs PAC med kirurgiska metoder. Våra tidigare studier har lett till en förenklad medicinsk behandling av ofullständiga aborter genom användning av misoprostol (abortpiller). Denna behandling är säker och effektiv och väl accepterad av kvinnor. En stor fördel är att den kan utföras av barnmorskor även inom primärvården där tillgång till läkare och möjlighet till kirurgisk behandling ofta saknas. Som ett led i att minska abortrelaterad dödlighet och sjuklighet bland kvinnor världen över ingår preventivmedel och preventivmedelsrådgivning som en viktig del i PAC. Flera studier har visat att man kan minska antalet oönskade graviditeter och aborter med hjälp av effektiva och långverkande preventivmedel, tex spiral, och att dessa är den metod som de flesta kvinnor trivs bäst med. En nackdel med medicinsk PAC behandling är att man inte sätter in spiral direkt vid behandlingen som man gör vid kirurgisk behandling. Flera studier har visat att kvinnan har som störst motivation att påbörja användning av ett effektivt preventivmedel inom några dagar efter aborten. Återbesök och spiralinsättning efter medicinsk PAC sker flera veckor efter behandlingen, vilket gör att många kvinnor inte dyker upp till besöket. Dessa kvinnor står då helt utan preventivmedel. Idag saknas studier på tidig spiralinsättning efter medicinsk PAC. Projektet: Projektet genomförs på Mulago sjukhus i Kampala i centrala Uganda och vid Gulu och Lira sjukhus i norra Uganda med tillhörande hälsocentraler. Hög fertilitet och låg preventivmedelsanvändning som leder till oönskade graviditeter med efterföljande osäkra aborter är vanligt i Uganda. Hälsoministerierna liksom WHO ser det som nödvändigt att hitta metoder för att minska den höga mödradödligheten.

This is a severe pest on maize, and on several other crops, and will have devastating effects on agricultural yields with socio-economic consequences for local population. Considering the epidemic spread of the pest, the situation is alarming. To achieve food security with sustainable agriculture it is crucial to find biological control methods instead of applying chemical pesticides.We propose to establish a 2-year network between researchers at SLU, Sweden, icipe, Kenya, and IRD, France, to perform four targeted studies on the ecology of the Fall Armyworm. The studies are developed in collaboration and will be performed in Kenya and Sweden by visiting researchers. The results will be used for developing sustainable control methods that could be used for integrated pest management. We will have yearly meetings to enhance capacity building. We have an explicit focus on facilitating the future career of young researchers, striving to enhance gender balance and to promote women in science. Each year we will host an interdisciplinary workshop with invited experts to transfer knowledge and to prepare collaboration and applications. The aim is to take joint action in how to control the pest and to build a strong European-African network to be prepared in the event of future invasive species moving between the continents. Invasiva arter är ett av de allvarligaste hoten mot den biologiska mångfalden och flera länder, däribland Sverige, har förbundit sig att arbeta för att kontrollera dem. Har en invasiv art väl etablerats i ett nytt område kostar det enorma summor att kontrollera och försöka utplåna den. Är en invasiv art även ett skadedjur på jordbruksgrödor, så att kostnad för skördeförlust tas med i beräkningen, kan summorna bli ännu större.År 2016 upptäcktes för första gången den fruktade invasiva arten Spodoptera frugiperda, en nattfjäril som är ett skadedjur på flera olika grödor, i Afrika. Redan år 2017 hade arten etablerats i de flesta länder söder om Sahara. Spridningen av skadedjuret har varit närmast epidemisk och eftersom arten framför allt lever av majs, som är en av de viktigaste grödorna i Afrika och som lokalbefolkningen är beroende av som basmat, kommer arten att få betydande negativa konsekvenser både vad gäller ekonomi och svält. Situationen är akut och det är oerhört viktigt att snabbt hitta hållbara kontrollmetoder för att inte öka användningen av kemiska bekämpningsmedel. För att bekämpa arten på ett hållbart vis behövs djup kunskap om artens biologi, t ex vilka växter den attackerar eller om det finns några naturliga fiender som kan kontrollera den.Med denna ansökan föreslår vi att etablera ett nätverk för forskare i ekologi vid institutionen för Växtskyddsbiologi, SLU och icipe, Kenya. Inom nätverket kommer vi att bedriva fyra små studier för att fördjupa kunskaperna om vilka värdväxter Spodoptera frugiperda använder sig av i Kenya och hur dessa växter påverkar skadedjuret, vilka inhemska parasitsteklar som eventuellt skulle kunna kontrollera arten och hur S. frugiperda påverkar och påverkas av konkurrens med andra nattfjärilar. Resultatet av denna forskning kommer vara viktig för att ta fram biologiska kontrollmetoder och samodlingssystem som missgynnar skadedjuret. Eftersom forskningen fokuserar på att ta fram metoder som grundas på den inhemska faunan i Kenya och samodlingssytem som redan praktiseras, är detta ett kost-effektivt sätt som lämpar sig väl för jordbrukarna.För forskarna från båda institutioner kommer nätverket att ge stora fördelar både vad gäller forskningsinsikt men även genom att etablera nya kontakter. Vi har en uttalad strävan att hjälpa unga forskare i deras karriär genom att låta dem genomföra forskningsstudierna ovan vid det motsatta institutet under några månader. Detta kommer att utöka deras nätverk och forskningserfarenhet samt bidra till att forma deras specifika forskningsprofil. Vi kommer underlätta för kvinnor inom forskning genom att ha en jämn könskvot på de unga forskare som väljs ut.Förutom själva forskningen kommer vi inom nätverket att hålla två planeringsmöten per år då vi delar aktuell kunskap, planerar våra studier och även ansökningar för framtida samarbete. I anslutning till ett av detta möten kommer vi varje år att hålla en workshop med inbjudna experter from olika fält. Eftersom en effektiv kontrollering av invasiva arter är tvärvetenskaplig och berör allt från biologi till myndighetsbeslut är det viktigt att dela kunskap mellan olika områden och samarbeta om strategier. Under workshoparna kommer ett av målen därför även vara att diskutera framtida tvärvetenskapliga samarbetsprojekt.Vi är övertygade om att vår forskning kommer att bidra till utvecklingen av hållbara kontrollmetoder av S. frugiperda och därmed bidra till att minska fattigdom och svält i linje med de globala miljömålen. Vi ser även att nätverket kommer att bidra till ökad kommunikation mellan berörda aktörer och leda till nya samarbetsprojekt, även tvärvetenskapliga. Att ha ett starkt nätverk mellan Europa och Afrika som forskar på invasiva arter kommer vara betydelsefullt i händelse av att andra invasiva arter flyttar mellan kontinenterna, något som förutspås bli vanligare i takt med klimatförändringar.

These are often incompatible and result in dissonant ideas regarding how to manage and respond to its state of pollution, degradation and capriciousness. The Ganges is a principal constituent of the sacred geography of South Asia, particularly to Hindus, at the same time as millions of people depend on it for daily sustenance. This duality informs how India and Bangladesh act to govern the river and seek to mobilise sustainable water management, yet it also affects how individuals and communities relate to the river’s welfare and possible use. Contradicting views of the river are manifest in religious and secular representations broadly and in concrete mismatches between state-level governance and lay beliefs. In order to examine state activities as well as the belief systems of individuals, the project consists of two components. The first probes attempts in India and Bangladesh to make the Ganges integral to development efforts and nation building, and the extent to which these relate to the basic tension. The second stresses how cultural and religious assumptions regarding the Ganges, in the form of lay beliefs, interact with environmental concerns ascribed to it. The objective is to grasp the ways in which discordant ideas about the river are reflected in state activities and in lay beliefs, and where we find overlaps and inconsistencies between these. Projektet kretsar kring floden Ganges och dess inte fullt kompatibla innebörder. Flodens lopp sträcker sig över hela norra Indien och stora delar av Bangladesh och Ganges har således en väldig påverkan på miljontals liv i Sydasien. Floden är oerhört förorenad och hälsovådlig för såväl människor som djur samtidigt som den tillskrivs en religiöst och mytologiskt präglad förmåga att vara självrenande och livgivande. Ganges är, med andra ord, på samma gång kringgärdad av föreställningar om att vara evigt fruktbar och att stå inför ett hot om att inte längre finnas så som vi nu känner floden.Centralt för det sistnämnda är inte enbart hur dess nedsmutsning påverkar de områden i Indien vilken den rinner igenom utan även hur den periodvis bidrar till extrem torka och extrema översvämningar i Bangladesh. Dessutom för Ganges inte längre med sig sediment i samma utsträckning, vilket riskerar att på sikt urholka den grund på vilken delar av Bangladesh vilar. Att studera Ganges är av yttersta vikt för att kunna bidra till vår kunskap om hur bättre villkor skapas för människor som lever i fattigdom i regionen, med särskilt fokus på hur sekulära och religiösa antaganden om världen präglar och eventuellt hindrar såväl staters som lokala gemenskapers försök till progressivt, hållbart miljöarbete.I fokus för detta projekt står dels statens försök i såväl Indien som Bangladesh att göra Ganges ren, kontrollerbar och produktiv som en del av en vidare utvecklingssträvan, dels hur människors föreställningar om dess renhet och nedsmutsning, förmåga att ständigt förnyas och möjliga ändlighet, påverkar deras syn på hur floden ska hanteras. Dessa två nivåer av försök att fastställa vad Ganges är, och kan vara, är nödvändiga att studera tillsammans för att nå bortom den rådande och hämmande bristen på överlappning mellan sekulära eller tekniskt orienterade ansträngningar och religiöst präglade idéer om hur floden bäst görs tjänlig och bevaras.

Belowground organisms are an important component of biodiversity, contributing to the functioning and productivity of terrestrial ecosystems, yet they are often neglected in conservation planning and resource management. In this project, we aim to determine whether there is a link between belowground biodiversity and productivity based on a gradient of crop and forest productivity inferred from traditional knowledge. This will be achieved along with promoting research and capacity building regarding the role of belowground diversity for forest and crop productivity in W. Africa. We leverage ethnopedological knowledge in the region to infer productivity trend, soil types and land-use change history. Using these data as metadata and for selecting study sites, we will employ state-of-the-art methods to examine belowground diversity and mycorrhizal colonization rates in relation to productivity and land-use change history. This project represents major steps towards addressing the question of how belowground diversity can contribute to sustainable use of land resources and how we can leverage the rich traditional knowledge of the ecosystem in the region for this purpose. Historiskt sett klassificerar lokalbefolkningar jordar baserat på deras utseende, fysiska egenskaper, produktivitet och biologiska indikatorer. Lokalkunskap om jordar har formats och ackumulerats över generationer baserat på erfarenheter, anpassningar och sammanfogning av idéer och nya kunskaper. Denna traditionella kunskap har blivit allt mer erkänd för sin betydelse för utvärderingen av markanvändningen i förhållande till jordmån och hållbart brukande.

Belowground organisms are an important component of biodiversity, contributing to the functioning and productivity of terrestrial ecosystems, yet they are often neglected in conservation planning and resource management. In this project, we aim to determine whether there is a link between belowground biodiversity and productivity based on a gradient of crop and forest productivity inferred from traditional knowledge. This will be achieved along with promoting research and capacity building regarding the role of belowground diversity for forest and crop productivity in W. Africa. We leverage ethnopedological knowledge in the region to infer productivity trend, soil types and land-use change history. Using these data as metadata and for selecting study sites, we will employ state-of-the-art methods to examine belowground diversity and mycorrhizal colonization rates in relation to productivity and land-use change history. This project represents major steps towards addressing the question of how belowground diversity can contribute to sustainable use of land resources and how we can leverage the rich traditional knowledge of the ecosystem in the region for this purpose. Historiskt sett klassificerar lokalbefolkningar jordar baserat på deras utseende, fysiska egenskaper, produktivitet och biologiska indikatorer. Lokalkunskap om jordar har formats och ackumulerats över generationer baserat på erfarenheter, anpassningar och sammanfogning av idéer och nya kunskaper. Denna traditionella kunskap har blivit allt mer erkänd för sin betydelse för utvärderingen av markanvändningen i förhållande till jordmån och hållbart brukande.

In this project, we collaborate with the NGO BRAC in Uganda to evaluate the impact of an intervention that aims to empower female farmers by improving their soft skills and their aspirations. In addition to studying how these interventions change female farmers´ productivity, we evaluate the effects of providing information about soil testing services and study how the empowerment program affects the take up of these techniques by female relative to male farmers. The project will shed light on the extent to which lack of soft skills and aspirations may be driving the gender gap in technology adoption and agricultural productivity. Det är ett väletablerat faktum att avkastningen på mark som odlas av kvinnor i Afrika söder om Sahara är lägre än den på mark odlad av män. Kvinnor är i genomsnitt mindre benägna att använda sig av ny teknik eller mer produktiva insatsvaror, men orsakerna till varför dessa skillnader existerar är oklara. I Uganda utgör till exempel kvinnor 50 % av arbetskraften inom jordbrukssektorn; likväl är avkastningen på den mark de odlar 17.5 % lägre än männens avkastning.I det här projektet kommer vi att undersöka två potentiella förklaringar bakom könsskillnaden i jordbruksproduktiviteten. Den första förklaringen innebär att kvinnor saknar de nödvändiga mjuka icke-kognitiva färdigheterna som krävs för att få tillgång till ny teknik och insatsvaror som i sin tur möjliggör produktiva investeringar. Den andra förklaringen handlar om en brist på kvinnliga förebilder som kvinnor som kan identifiera med. Genom att informera om driftiga kvinnor som driver framgångsrika jordbruksföretag kan kunskapen om dessa förebilder bidra till att kvinnor höjer sin ambitionsnivå och därmed produktiviteten. För att pröva dessa två förklaringar samarbetar vi med den icke-statliga organisationen BRAC i Uganda. Vi kommer att utvärdera ett nytt program som fokuserar på att öka kvinnliga jordbrukares egenmakt via förbättrade icke-kognitiva färdigheter samt stärkt målmedvetenhet. I vårt randomiserade fältexperiment kommer vi att mäta effekten av de två potentiella förklaringarna och undersöka hur de kompletterar varandra. Vi kommer även att studera effekten av att sprida information om en test-tjänst som mäter typen och kvaliteten i den odlingsbara jorden. Informationen möjliggör för jordbrukare – kvinnor som män – att öka produktiviteten genom att använda den teknik och de insatsvaror som bäst passar deras mark. Inom ramen för vår studie kommer vi att undersöka om kvinnor och män är mer eller mindre benägna att använda test-tjänsten och om gapet mellan könen är mindre för kvinnor som genomgått egenmaktsinterventionen. Experimentet belyser i vilken utsträckning bristen på mjuka färdigheter och/eller målmedvetenhet begränsar teknikanvändning bland kvinnor (relativt män) och om ett egenmaktsprogram som riktar sig till kvinnliga bönder kan bidra till att minska eventuella skillnader mellan könen. Resultaten av projektet kommer att klargöra i vilken utsträckning bristen på mjuka färdigheter och målmedvetenhet orsakar skillnader i jordbruksproduktiviteten mellan kvinnor och män. Projektets slutsatser kan hjälpa beslutsfattare att utforma policy som ökar kvinnliga jordbrukares egenmakt samt höjer produktiviteten hos jordbruksföretag som drivs av kvinnor.

In Africa, several exotic species such as Bactrocera dorsalis and Zeugodacus cucurbitae, have exacerbated the already serious damage caused by native Tephritidae. Management of fruit flies is mainly done indirectly through suppressing the male population using parapheromones in male annihilation technique. This method is not effective for smallholder farms and needs to be integrated with methods that directly target the female population. Developing female attractants have an enormous prospective in novel sustainable fruit fly management strategies. Recently, we conducted an exhaustive comparative analysis of olfactory sensitivities across tephritids and extracted attractants from there. While the proof of principle has been shown in the lab, these have not been translated into field lures yet. Here, in addition to the common olfactory organ: the antennae, we would first examine the olfactory responses of the maxillary palp to host and non-host cues using Gas chromatography coupled to electro palpo detector (GC-EPD), then using single sensillum recordings (SSR) and RNA-sequencing we aim to identify olfactory receptors for parapheromones, we finally optimize the field release of synthetic lures and accelerate the translation of olfactory responses to field application, ultimately reinforcing integrated pest management (IPM) of fruit fly pests in Africa. Oemotståndlig cocktailblandning kan förföra insekter som hotar våra frukter och grönsaker Miljontals dollar går varje år förlorade som ett resultat av skador på frukt orsakat av borrflugor. Denna påverkan är allvarligast för fattiga bönder i utvecklingsländer, där stora summor spenderas på pesticider som hotar både natur och mänskors hälsa. En säkrare sätt vore att blanda attraktiva “cocktails” för borrflugehonorna, för att fånga honorna innan de lägger ägg i frukterna. I vårt laboratorium på SLU Alnarp så har vi gjort en sådan cocktail, redo att användas ute den riktiga världen.Efter att borrflugorna lokaliserat en lämplig frukt, tränger honborrflugornas äggledare genom skinnet och lägger sina ägg inuti frukten. Äggen utvecklas så småningom till larver som livnär sig på de köttiga delarna av frukten och förstör dessa för mänsklig användning. För de flesta odlare i Afrika är fruktproduktion den enda källan till inkomst och förluster är direkt associerade med en minskad matsäkerhet. Hotet omfattar också förlusten av jobb och en minskning av frukttillgången på marknaden. En enorm mängd pengar läggs också på skyddsåtgärder mot flugorna. Exempelvis spenderas mer än 7 miljoner dollar per år enbart på pesticider i afrikanska kommersiella fruktodlingar.Då vi människor bedömer en frukt är det i första hand smaken vi värderar, men även doften och färgen. För borrflugor är den karaktäristiska doften av en frukt det viktiga. Luktsinnet har avgörande betydelse för deras dagliga liv och fortlevnad. Men vad får en frukt att lukta som den gör? Och varför är lukten så avgörande för daggflugor?Fruktdoft utgörs av flyktiga blandningar av kemikalier som frukterna utsöndrar. Dessa kemiska komponenter är väldigt viktiga för borrflugor eftersom det är med doften som de lokaliserar, känner igen och identifierar en frukt från en annan med stor precision. Borrflugor kan också med lätthet differentiera en banan från en apelsin, kanske till och med bättre än oss, men istället för näsa använder de som doftorgan antenner och maxillära palper, även om inte mycket är känt om det senare.Hanborrflugor är lättlurade. En enda kemisk doft kan lura in hanar i en dödlig fälla. Idag använder fruktodlare sig av detta genom att nyttja manligt specifika och effektiva lockämnen, vilket på så sätt minskar hanflugorna i fruktplantager. Dock är problemet att en enda hane kan befrukta flera honor och en enda hona kan lägga tusentals av ägg under sin livstid. Den bästa lösningen för att skydda våra odlingar är att hitta dofter som också förför honflugorna in i dödliga fällor. Men problemet är att honorna är inte lika lättlurade som hanarna.Tyvärr är inte en enstaka kemisk komponent tillräcklig för att attrahera och fånga honor. Vad vi vet är att honorna följer doftplymer för att hitta en lämplig frukt för sin avkomma. Kanske skulle det gå att imitera en fruktdoft som kan attrahera honor. Utmaningen är att vi då behöver veta vilka specifika komponenter av en frukt och vilka specifika kombinationer av dessa komponenter som skulle vara attraktiva för honborrflugor. En enstaka frukt är laddad med ett överflöd av kemiska komponenter, varav de flesta inte har någon, eller en minimal vikt för borrflugan. Det betyder att vi måste ha en mekanik som möjliggör identifiering av de komponenter som är viktiga för honborrflugorna.Forskare har utvecklat ett instrument som separerar flyktiga komponenter i en frukt och skickar signaler mot insekternas doftorgan. Flugan känner de olika doftkomponenterna och instrumenten kan identifiera de viktigaste. Genom att använda instrumentet i vårt laboratorium på SLU i Alnarp har vi identifierat flera flyktiga ämnen från fyra frukter. Vi använde komponenterna för att blanda en cocktail som doftar som en falsk superfrukt vilken konkurrerar ut doften från de enskilda frukterna när de förekommer var för sig. Den artificiella fruktdoften kan locka till sig honorna som hotar våra frukter. Vad som vore ännu mer intressant vore om vi blandade i fler dofter så att vi lurar honor av ännu fler olika arter in i fällan. Vi har idag redan blandat ihop en sådan supercocktail. Den är redo att användas och fungerar utmärkt i laboratoriet, nu återstår det att testa den ute i den riktiga världen.Genom att locka honorna med denna cocktail hoppas vi inom en snar framtid kunna öka skörden från vår frukt och samtidigt minska hälsorisker och negativ miljöpåverkan som är förknippad med användning av insekticider.

This community based participatory research driven realist evaluation project aims to ascertain: why, how, and under what conditions the integration of sexuality education into the schools will lead (or not) to improved knowledge and capacity to make positive sexuality decisions among adolescents, including more equal gender relations.We will adopt at step-wise approach to the realist evaluation and embed it in participatory research phases to 1) map and analyse challenges towards integration 2) develop an initial program theory that proposes an explanation of how the integration of a sexuality education into the school setting can promote positive sexuality decisions among adolescents, 3) test the programme theory through multiple-case studies applying a quantitative survey, photovoice elicitation, observations as well as qualitative interviews and 4) finally propose a refined programme theory and set of recommendations which will provide useful lessons to guide integration processes and actions. Ungdomar har olika behov jämfört med vuxna, särskilt när det gäller sexuell och reproduktiv hälsa och rättigheter (SRHR). Försummelse av deras särskilda behov leder till negativa konsekvenser såsom oönskade graviditeter, sexuellt överförbara infektioner och sexuellt våld. Varje år föder cirka 7,3 miljoner flickor under 18 år barn i Zambia och andra låg- och medelinkomstländer (LMIC) och cirka 10 miljoner flickor gifter sig, 46% av dem i Afrika söder om Sahara.Sexualundervisning i skolor är en möjlig strategi för att stärka SRHR bland ungdomar. 2014 införde Zambia sexualundervisning i alla skolor i linje med internationella rekommendationer. Läroplanen innehåller följande nyckelområden; relationer, värderingar och rättigheter, könsroller/genus, våld, kroppslig integritet och samtycke, kroppen och dess utveckling, sexualitet och sexuell identitet, graviditet samt hiv-prevention. Integrationsprocessen av sexualundervisning i Zambia och andra LMICs har varit komplex och visar på stor variation.Internationella studier visar att de flesta nationella program för sexualundervisning möter stora utmaningar. I vissa fall överensstämmer läroplanerna inte med nationella och internationell riktlinjer och inkluderar inte viktiga ämnen som sexuella övergrepp, könsroller, ojämlikhet mellan könen, könsidentitet och uttryck och sexuell läggning. Även när läroplanen uppfyller internationell standard, finns det utmaningar med genomförandegrad och kvaliteten på undervisningen. I vissa fall utmanas både lärare och föräldrar av innehållet i undervisningen och tror att om man pratar med ungdomar om sexuella frågor kommer det att uppmuntra dem att tidigt bli sexuellt aktiva. Det finns en begränsad kunskap om mekanismerna för att implementera sexualundervisning, inklusive hur den bäst integreras och hur den formar ungdomars beslutsfattande kring sexualitet. Det har således efterlysts ytterligare forskning kring mekanismer och kontextuella faktorer som stödjer integration av sexualundervisning i skolor. Det övergripande syftet med projektet är att förstå hur, varför och under vilka förutsättningar integreringen av sexualitetsutbildning i skolor leder (eller inte) till förbättrad kunskap och kapacitet att fatta positiva beslut kring sexualitet bland ungdomar, inklusive mer jämställda relationer mellan könen. Syfte kommer att uppnås genom att använda deltagande metoder för att engagera berörda (lärare, föräldrar, ungdomar/ elever) till att 1) nationellt kartlägga graden av integration av sexual undervisning och analysera utmaningar 2) utveckla en första orsaksteori som föreslår en förklaring av hur integrationen av en sexualundervisning kan forma positivt beslutsfattande kring sexualitet bland ungdomar 3) testa orsaksteorin genom multipla fallstudier och 4) identifiera kontextförhållanden och mekanismerna bakom effektiv integrering och föreslå en förfinad orsaktsteori och uppsättning rekommendationer som kommer att vägleda den fortsatta integrationsprocessen.Detta forskningsprojekt kommer att anta en samhällsbaserad deltagardriven realistisk utvärdering. Detta tillvägagångssätt är relevant eftersom implementering av sexualundervisning innefattar flera aktörer och organisationer som arbetar i olika administrativa miljöer och på olika nivåer.Studien kommer att bidra till att fylla kunskapsluckan kring vilka mekanismer som gör att sexuaundervisningen ökar kunskap och positivt beslutsfattande bland ungdomar och därmed förbättrad sexuell och reproduktiv hälsa, minskning av hiv/aids, sexuellt överförbara sjukdomar och oönskade graviditeter samt ojämlika könsrelationer. Kunskap inom detta område är avgörande för beslutsfattare och icke-statliga organisationer för att effektivt underlätta implementering och integrationsprocessen av sexualundervisning i skolor. Projektet kommer också att bidra till att främja utvecklingen av realistisk utvärderingsmetodik genom att ge möjlighet att utforska möjligheter och begränsningarna i ett deltagande tillvägagångssätt. Detta är av betydelse eftersom realistisk utvärdering sällan har använts på ett deltagande sätt. Detta projekt bygger vidare på tidigare samarbete och kommer ytterligare att stärka och utöka ett samarbete mellan University of Zambia och Umeå universitet.

The disease has since than caused the death of >1 million pigs only in China. The situation is not under control, and the socioeconomic impact is likely to be massive. With this in mind the overall aim of our network is to develop a research agenda targeting the understanding of how attitudes, behaviour and practices within the pork value chain in the new settings in Asia affect disease dynamics, spread, and the potential for controlling the disease. Project activities include workshops, pilotstudies, networking and to compose research proposals addressing issues that have been identified as important for reaching the project goals of controlling the disease development and thus, the risk for long-term establishment and persistence of the disease in the regional pig population. Syftet med det föreslagna nätverksprojektet är att skapa ett långsiktigt tvärvetenskapligt samarbete mellan länder i Sydostasien, Östafrika och Sverige fokuserat runt den allvarliga, smittsamma grissjukdomen afrikansk svinpest (ASF). Hälften av världens grisar finns i Kina, uppemot hälften av dessa beräknas hållas på småskaliga jordbruk eller som enstaka hushållsgrisar. Även i många länder i Sydostasien är grispopulationen mycket stor och gristätheten hög, med en blandning av kommersiella och småskaliga besättningar. Dessa länder har de senaste decennierna haft en positiv ekonomisk utveckling, men landsbygdsbor har ofta halkat efter och fattigdomsklyftor mellan stad och land är betydande. För fattiga landsbygdsbor i Asien är grishållning en viktig inkomstkälla och en social trygghet.   Afrikansk svinpest drabbar tamgrisar och europeiska vildsvin med akut, blödarfeber som i de flesta fall leder till döden. Sjukdomen orsakas av ett virus och inget vaccin eller behandling finns. När djuren är sjuka finns virus i alla kroppens delar, men med högst koncentration i blod. I de länderl där sjukdomen kontrolleras tillämpas förebyggande åtgärder som ökad biosäkerhet, och karantän och utslaktning vid konstaterade utbrott. Historiskt cirkulerar viruset på den afrikanska kontinenten söder om Sahara, men 2007 introducerades sjukdomen till Kaukasus och spreds därifrån norr- och västerut till öst- och Centraleuropa. Under 2018 gjorde sjukdomen ett stort geografiskt hopp till Kina där smittspridningen sedan dess skett med enorm hastighet. Under de första månaderna av 2019 nåddes Vietnam och Kambodja.  I Afrika söder om Sahara där sjukdomen funnits länge är det väl känt hur sjukdomen sprids och hur den kan kontrolleras. Grisproduktionen ökar i många länder, men är fortfarande oftast småskalig och del av ett blandad småsklaigt jordbruk med andra djur som diversifierar inkomster och risker. När sjukdomen etablerats i Europa har nya smittspridningsscenarion uppträtt. Europeiska vidsvin verkar spela en stor roll för upprätthållandet av smittan. När sjukdomen nu erövrar en ännu en ny kontinent är många faktorer angående smittspridning och kontroll fortfarande okända. Det som dock är känt, och konstant i olika länder och scenarion, är att människors aktiviteter och beteenden spelar stor roll för smittspridningen. Smittan sprids längs med handelsrutter och i de nätverk där grisar och produkter förflyttas och byter ägare. Likaså beständigt är de stora sociala och ekonomiska konsekvenser som utbrott får för människor i grisvärdekedjan, och de allvarlig dkurskyddskonsekvenserna. I det föreslagna projektet kommer befintlig kunskap och erfarenheter från många års forskning om ASF i dess ursprungliga miljö söder om Sahara användas och delas med forskare från Sverige och nyligen drabbade länder i Asien. Från de nyligen smittade länderna finns erfarenheter av täta grispopulationer, och av storskalig bekämpning som saknas från Afrika. Ett forskningsnätverk för nord-syd-syd-utbyte av kunskap och erfarenheter kommer skapas och pilotstudier genomföras med inriktning på förståelsen av hur människors kunskap, attityder och beteende påverkar sjukdomsdynamik, spridning och möjligheten att kontrollera sjukdomsutvecklingen och därmed risken för långvarig etablering och uthållighet hos sjukdom i den regionala grispopulationen i Sydostasien och Kina. Resultaten av pilotstudierna kommer kommuniceras inom nätverket, och utifrån dessa kommer forskningsansökningar för större internationella utlysningar tas fram. Baserat på den nya kunskap som kommer uppstå i detta projekt, och från den framtida forskning det lägger grunden till, kommer kreativa problemlösningar och engagemang från aktörer inom sektorn kunna omsättas till effektiva kontrollmetoder som anpassas till lokala förutsättningar, och som tar hänsyn till småböndernas dagliga liv och beroende av grisar för sitt uppehälle.

Grisproduktionen ökar i många länder, men är fortfarande oftast småskalig och del av ett blandad småsklaigt jordbruk med andra djur som diversifierar inkomster och risker. När sjukdomen etablerats i Europa har nya smittspridningsscenarion uppträtt. Europeiska vidsvin verkar spela en stor roll för upprätthållandet av smittan. När sjukdomen nu erövrar en ännu en ny kontinent är många faktorer angående smittspridning och kontroll fortfarande okända. Det som dock är känt, och konstant i olika länder och scenarion, är att människors aktiviteter och beteenden spelar stor roll för smittspridningen. Smittan sprids längs med handelsrutter och i de nätverk där grisar och produkter förflyttas och byter ägare. Likaså beständigt är de stora sociala och ekonomiska konsekvenser som utbrott får för människor i grisvärdekedjan, och de allvarlig dkurskyddskonsekvenserna. I det föreslagna projektet kommer befintlig kunskap och erfarenheter från många års forskning om ASF i dess ursprungliga miljö söder om Sahara användas och delas med forskare från Sverige och nyligen drabbade länder i Asien. Från de nyligen smittade länderna finns erfarenheter av täta grispopulationer, och av storskalig bekämpning som saknas från Afrika. Ett forskningsnätverk för nord-syd-syd-utbyte av kunskap och erfarenheter kommer skapas och pilotstudier genomföras med inriktning på förståelsen av hur människors kunskap, attityder och beteende påverkar sjukdomsdynamik, spridning och möjligheten att kontrollera sjukdomsutvecklingen och därmed risken för långvarig etablering och uthållighet hos sjukdom i den regionala grispopulationen i Sydostasien och Kina. Resultaten av pilotstudierna kommer kommuniceras inom nätverket, och utifrån dessa kommer forskningsansökningar för större internationella utlysningar tas fram. Baserat på den nya kunskap som kommer uppstå i detta projekt, och från den framtida forskning det lägger grunden till, kommer kreativa problemlösningar och engagemang från aktörer inom sektorn kunna omsättas till effektiva kontrollmetoder som anpassas till lokala förutsättningar, och som tar hänsyn till småböndernas dagliga liv och beroende av grisar för sitt uppehälle.

Yields are low, contributing to income gaps between rich and poor countries.Land is not like other commodities, and historically, private markets have been slow to reallocate land. Economic theory suggests several important constraints that can impede efficient land trade. Importantly, they arise even in the presence of tradable property rights. Governments have responded with large-scale centralized land reforms or land consolidation programs, such as Storskiftet and Enskiftet in Sweden, or Denmark´s Jordfordelingsloven. But such programs are costly, challenging to implement effectively, and sometimes coercive.We propose to use the tools of market design to develop new solutions that address key frictions in the land market. In this proposal we describe a three-stage project in Uganda that seeks to 1) measure key properties of the land trade problem, 2) develop a computerized trading platform adapted to those properties, and 3) evaluate its performance, relative to status quo forms of trade, in a realistic field setting.The ultimate goal is to help poor rural households achieve a more efficient land allocation through voluntary trade. Better-functioning land markets have the potential to improve the lives of some of the poorest people in the world, and to contribute to the development process. Jordbruket i mindre utvecklade länder kännetecknas av små, fragmenterade lantbruk, liten mekaniseringsgrad och ett misslyckande med att allokera de största lantbruken till de bästa lantbrukarna.

De kan vara speciellt svåra i sådana miljöer som mindre utvecklade länder med en begränsad statskapacitet.Vår plan är att använda verktygen för marknadsutformning (s k market design) för att utveckla nya lösningar som riktar sig mot avgörande friktioner på marknaden för mark.

Mer välfungerande marknader för mark har potentialen att förbättra livet för några av de fattigaste människorna i världen och att bidra till utvecklingsprocessen.Detta är ett nytt forskningsområde inom utvecklingsforskning, med lite tidigare arbete att bygga på. Så vi framställer ett iterativt projekt som först försöker mäta avgörande egenskaper i en miljö för handeln med mark, utveckla en lösning i form av en datorbaserad handelsplattform och testa den i en fältmiljö.Först kommer vi att genomföra en övning med en kartläggning av jordbitar i Masaka, Uganda. Masaka har fragmenterad mark och små lantbruk så att handel med mark blir en framträdande fråga. Vi kommer att kartlägga gränserna för jordbitar, ägarstruktur, och egenskaper, såväl som ägarnas egenskaper och preferenser, i ett representativt urval av byar. Detta kommer att göra det möjligt för oss att till fullo beskriva en typisk miljö där handel äger rum. Existerande dataset mäter sådana egenskaper som fragmentering, men våra data kommer att göra det möjligt för oss att gå längre. Exempelvis kan vi mäta komplexiteten i handelskedjor som skulle behöva skapas för att eliminera fragmenteringen.Med kartorna till vårt förfogande, kommer vi att utveckla en mjukvara för att göra ett experiment med ”kombinerat utbyte av mark”. Utbytet kommer att använda som insats en karta över jordbitar och äganderätter som utformats för att imitera nyckelegenskaper som mäts i kartläggningsövningen. Det kommer att underlätta handeln mellan deltagarna som kan agera både som köpare och säljare (de kan vilja expandera, krympa eller flytta sitt lantbruk). Det kommer att göra det möjligt för dem att utrycka starka preferenser för olika möjligheter till handel och organisera komplicerade transaktioner för deras räkning. Vi tror att denna mekanism passar väl för miljön för handel med mark. Utvecklingsprocessen kommer att inkludera labbtester av nyckelegenskaper för utformningen.Slutligen testar vi för utbytet i fält genom att använda ett storskaligt lab-in-field experiment i byar i Masaka, Uganda. Representativa grupper av lantbrukare kommer att inbjudas till sammankomster där de tilldelas ”markrätter” på en artificiell karta och en experimentvaluta. Kartan kommer att utformas så att den överensstämmer med nyckelegenskaper i den verkliga miljön. Vi kommer att jämföra effektiviteten och rättvisan i handelsutfall genom att använda vår datoriserade plattform, till de som erhållits med enbart en fri handelsform. Sådana tester är avgörande, eftersom en mekanism som är välfungerande i teorin kanske inte är det i praktiken.Det långsiktiga målet med vår forskningsagenda är att utveckla implementerbara, storskaliga lösningar för handel med mark som kan användas för att underlätta verklig handel. Detta projekt utgör ett kritiskt steg mot det målet. Det kommer att skapa en ny förståelse för komplexiteten i miljön för handel med mark, en ny flexibel plattform för handel som i framtiden kan anpassas till andel med verklig mark och bevis för dess effektivitet i ett fältsammanhang med representativa deltagare.

Using a new population-based cohort the Africa Medical and Behavioral Sciences Organization (AMBSO) population health surveillance  in urban Uganda, we aim to analyse and prevent the occurrence and determinants of NCDs, specifically hypertension and diabetes, causing lifelong disability and premature death in young adults. NCD research in low-income settings is still in its infancy, but we have a unique opportunity in time to identify effective policy strategies for prevention and early detection, since these chronic conditions are costly and resource-demanding to treat. The NCD rise in urban areas is due to longer life expectancy (reduced child mortality and access to HIV treatment), but also changing dietary, smoking, drinking, transport and work habits. Though poorly known so far, these traditional determinants likely interact with preterm birth/malnourishment, chronic infections (e.g. HIV), antimicrobials, air pollution and stressors related to poverty and gender-based violence. Through a new collaboration between KI and AMBSO, our team is highly qualified to deliver results contributing to future health policy and several of the SDGs (1,3,4,5,11) in Uganda and beyond, directly promoting sustainable development and lifestyles, human rights, gender equality and cultural diversity through education through mutual learning, professional exchange and capacity building (SDG 4.7). Infektionssjukdomar har helt dominerat i låg-inkomstländer i Afrika, som Uganda, men detta börjar förändras och förekomsten av icke smittsamma sjukdomar som hjärtkärlsjukdom diabetes, cancer och lungsjukdomar har flerdubblats och förväntas fortsätta öka dramatiskt det närmaste decenniet. Förekomsten av högt blodtryck och diabetes i städer i Afrika söder om Sahara är redan minst lika hög som i Europa. En del av orsakerna känner vi till. Det handlar om fler människor blir äldre tack vare att många barn numera överlever sin 5-årsdag (mest pga vaccination), liksom den ökade tillgången till HIV-medicin som gör att över 20 miljoner unga afrikaner kan leva långa produktiva liv. Ökad ålder, särskilt efter klimakteriet för kvinnor, är en stark riskfaktor för hjärtkärlsjukdom och diabetes. Afrika växer och urbaniseras snabbast i världen, med en fördubbling av dagens befolkning på 1.1. miljarder år 2050, 80% av denna ökning sker städer, mest i slummen. Med bättre ekonomi och snabb urbanisering förändras nu livsstilen för många bla i Uganda. Fler röker, dricker alkohol, åker bil/buss, har mindre rörliga arbeten och blir överviktiga då de inte längre kan odla sin egen mat samt har råd med friterad snabbmat och söta drycker. Andra riskfaktorer som av betydelse i denna kontext vet vi mindre om. Långvarig inflammation vid tex HIV ökar risken för hjärtkärlsjukdomar och cancer. I de städernas växande slumområdena påverkar sannolikt också miljöfaktorer som luftföroreningar, fattigdom, trångboddhet och könsbaserat våld. Genetiska skillnader och undernäring i fosterlivet (många föds underviktiga), tycks öka risken för kärlskador, högt blodtryck och diabetes senare i livet. Mögelgifter i kosten, liksom tidig exponering för antibiotika påverkar tarmfloran och möjligen risken för icke-smittsamma sjukdomar. Att förstå hur dessa faktorer samverkar är viktigt för att kunna förebygga förtida död eller svåra handikapp pga stroke, blindhet, hjärt- eller njursjukdom som orsakas av sent diagnosticerad/underbehandlad diabetes och högt blodtryck. När en familjeförsörjare dör eller skadas, drivs hela familjen in i fattigdom, barnen tas ur skolan och framtidsutsikterna minskar.Samtidigt som de icke smittsamma sjukdomarna ökar har infektionsproblematiken inte försvunnit och graviditets- och nyföddhetssjukdomar är fortfarande mycket vanliga. I de flesta afrikanska länder är sjukvårdssystemet inte rustat att hantera kroniska sjukdomar, pga brist på personal och lab-resurser för återbesök, livslång medicinering eller läkemedelslagring.Det är därför extra viktigt att förebygga och förhindra denna sjuklighet i låginkomstländer som Uganda, då förebyggande åtgärder är mycket mer kostnadseffektiva än att ta hand om sjuka eller att förlora unga och medelålders vuxna.Organisationen AMBSO, Africa Medical and Behavioral Sciences Organization, skapades 2016 för att bedriva forskning och preventivt arbete genom en hälso-demografisk surveillance-site. I brist på befolkningsregister behövs dessa siter för kartlägga förekomsten av riskfaktorer och sjukdomar i länder där de flesta söker sjukvård sent eller inte alls. I årliga stora representativa undersökningar samlas data in via intervjuer (boende, ekonomi, familj, sjukdomshistoria och riskbeteenden) och provtagning (tex HIV/mikrobiom-tester, blodfetter,blodsocker, BMI, blodtryck) från utvalda populationer följer antalet födslar, dödsfall och in-och utflytt följs noggrannt.  Tillsammans med AMBSO vill vi på Karolinska Institutet (KI) skapa en plattform för forskning. Kunskap-och attityder kring dessa sjukdomar, riskbeteende och vård ska analyseras för att förstå vilka preventiva åtgärder som är rimliga och möjliga. Genom detta samarbete kommer vi att bidra till kapacitetsbyggande, något som vårt team på KI har gedigen erfarenhet av tex i de Sida-finansierade doktorandprogrammen i Uganda och Tanzania.Våra resultat kommer att vara av stort värde för framtida policy då mycket få har studerat dessa frågor i ÖstAfrika och vi har nu ett unikt tidsfönster att kunna förebygga allvarliga sjukdomstillstånd, bidra till minskad dödlighet och även bidra till de globala hållbarhetsmålen kring hälsa, jämlikhet, hållbara städer och fattigdomsbekämpning.

Using a new population-based cohort the Africa Medical and Behavioral Sciences Organization (AMBSO) population health surveillance  in urban Uganda, we aim to analyse and prevent the occurrence and determinants of NCDs, specifically hypertension and diabetes, causing lifelong disability and premature death in young adults. NCD research in low-income settings is still in its infancy, but we have a unique opportunity in time to identify effective policy strategies for prevention and early detection, since these chronic conditions are costly and resource-demanding to treat. The NCD rise in urban areas is due to longer life expectancy (reduced child mortality and access to HIV treatment), but also changing dietary, smoking, drinking, transport and work habits. Though poorly known so far, these traditional determinants likely interact with preterm birth/malnourishment, chronic infections (e.g. HIV), antimicrobials, air pollution and stressors related to poverty and gender-based violence. Through a new collaboration between KI and AMBSO, our team is highly qualified to deliver results contributing to future health policy and several of the SDGs (1,3,4,5,11) in Uganda and beyond, directly promoting sustainable development and lifestyles, human rights, gender equality and cultural diversity through education through mutual learning, professional exchange and capacity building (SDG 4.7).

However, coffee production is threatened by climate change and disease outbreaks, with severe consequences for poor farmers and the rich biodiversity associated with shade-grown coffee. In this three-year project, we will take a transdisciplinary approach to improve farmer’s livelihood, conserve biodiversity, and preserve the world’s only genetic reservoir of wild coffee. We will use questionnaires to assess the potential, tools and willingness of smallholder farmers to make their farms climate-proof and shift coffee production to higher altitudes, and field surveys to establish how biodiversity and wild coffee genetic diversity may sustainably control pests and diseases in the existing and future coffee growing areas. We will then combine these data with a down-scaled climate model to create future coffee suitability maps, integrating both limitations due to coffee diseases and management opportunities through altitudinal shifts, biocontrol, shade cover and irrigation. We will end by publishing a synthetic report with climate change adaptation scenarios, which will form the basis for a series of multi-stakeholder workshops. Overall, our project will take a transdisciplinary and practical approach to find sustainable solutions to the challenge that coffee smallholder farmer’s face under a changing climate. Kaffe spelar en central roll både för den lokala ekonomin och biodiversiteten på många platser i Etiopien. Förutom att vara en uppskattad dryck som man är stolt över utgör kaffe den viktigaste inkomsten för miljoner av fattiga småbrukare. Kaffets ursprung är skogarna i sydvästra Etiopien där det fortfarande växer vilt och har en hög genetisk mångfald. I Etiopien odlas kaffe alltid under skuggträd och kaffe är känt för att vara en gröda där man både kan få ut ekonomi och bevara mycket biodiversitet och ekosystemtjänster på samma mark. Dessutom har det visat sig att avskogningen gått mycket fortare där man inte odlat kaffe jämfört där man odlat kaffe. Kaffe har således en nyckelroll att spela både för den lokala ekonomin och för bevarandet av skogarna och biodiversiteten i Etiopien. Ett antal uppmärksammade studier har visat att den globala kaffeproduktionen hotas av klimatförändringar och även att de vilda kaffet (och dess genetiska mångfald) hotas av allt högre temperaturer. Även vissa sjukdomar som går på kaffe anses öka globalt. Men de globala varningarna måste nedskalas till en lokal nivå för att bli meningsfulla för småbrukare och lokala administratörer. I detta projekt skall vi undersöka vilka konsekvenser sådana globala förutsägelser kan få för lokala småbrukare och hur de kan anpassa sitt brukande för att behålla ett uthålligt brukande av kaffe. Projektet är relevant för både ekonomisk, social och miljömässig hållbarhet, även om vår kompetens är starkast inom uthållighet och anpassning i relation till klimat, miljö och markanvändning. Hur kaffeodling kommer förändras kommer vara en viktig nyckel till hur både ekonomi, samhälle och naturen kommer utvecklas i sydvästra Etiopien. Projektet är uppdelat i fyra delprojekt som är tydligt ihoplänkade på temat kaffeproduktion och klimatförändringar med fokus på etablering av kaffeodling på högre höjder. Vi kommer arbeta i ett landskap i sydvästra Etiopien som har både skog och odlingsbygder och en stor variation i lokala klimat och påverkan från sjukdomar på kaffe. 1) Målet är att undersöka de lokala förutsättningarna för olika slags anpassningar till ett förändrat klimat. Vi kommer här göra fältundersökningar för att kvantifiera i vilken utsträckning bönder redan har gjort anpassningar och hur de ser på förutsättningar för framtida anpassningar. Vi kommer fokusera på de varmaste platserna (låga altituder) och de kallaste platserna (höga altituder). 2) Målet är att studera dynamiken hos djur, svampar och mikroorganismer som kan ha både positiv och negativ inverkan på kaffeodling i de nyetablerade områdena i jämförelse med i områden där kaffe odlats länge. Då kan vi öka förståelsen av de sammanvägda hoten av klimatförändringar och sjukdomar. 3) Målet är att producera en högupplöst karta för lämplighet för kaffeodling. Vi kommer göra det genom att kombinera fyra olika källor till information: a) en nedskalad klimatmodell b) kunskap om olika sätt att odla med olika slags skuggträd och utbredningen av kaffe i befintliga skogar, c) kunskap om hur de lokala svampsjukdomarna styrs av mikroklimat och odlingssystem och d) olika globala/regionala scenarier för klimatförändringar. 4) Slutligen i delprojekt fyra vill vi syntetisera kunskapen från de tre olika empiriska del-projekten i både en vetenskapliga och populärvetenskapliga format. Docent Ayco Tack på Stockholms universitet (SU), kommer leda projektet. Han har arbetat mycket med dynamiken mellan växter och svampsjukdomar både i Europa och sedan 4 år också i kaffesystemet i Etiopien. Projektet har flera samarbetspartners som kommer bidra med komplementerande kunskaper och erfarenheter. Prof. Kristoffer Hylander, SU, har en sedan tidigare gedigen erfarenhet av landskapsekologiska studier i Etiopien, Dr. Esayas Mendesil och Prof. Sileshi Nemomissa från universiteten i Jimma och Addis Ababa i Etiopien bidrar med ytterligare expertis på svampsjukdomar, insekter och växter. Prof. Erik Kjellström på SMHI är meteorolog och kommer vara involverad i klimatmodellerna och Dr. Lowe Börjesson är kulturgeograf på SU och bidrar med erfarenheter och metodik kring hur man studerar hur småbrukare i Afrika anpassar sin markanvändning. En doktorand och en postdoc kommer anställas. Vi tror att vi tillsammans kan genomföra ett lyckat projekt för att öka förståelsen för hur kaffeodlingen kan anpassas till klimatförändringar på ett hållbart sätt för både småbrukare och biodiversitet.

This project aims to explore the effects of epigenetic- and immune-modulating drugs on MDR-TB in Ethiopia. Our data from TB patients suggests that impaired cellular immunity in infected tissue is associated with high expression of suppressive immune checkpoint molecules. However, effector mechanisms in TB-infected cells can be enhanced by histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACi). In a clinical trial in Ethiopia, we recently demonstrated that vitamin D3 and the HDACi, phenylbutyrate, could improve recovery from pulmonary TB. Using mass cytometry and chromatin profiling, we will now study immune checkpoint molecules and epigenetic alterations in immune cells obtained from treatment-responders with drug-susceptible or MDR-TB (year 1). In parallel, we will enroll an MDR-TB cohort to test selected HDACi on alveolar macrophage function and if blockade with immune checkpoint modulators can enhance cytotoxic T cell responses in blood cells in vitro (year 1-3). Next, patients’ MDR-TB isolates will be used in an in vitro infection model to test if epigenetic priming in combination with immune checkpoint modulation will enhance effector cell function and reduce bacterial growth (year 3). This collaborative project will promote clinical discoveries and the development of next-generation therapies for difficult-to-treat MDR-TB patients. Tuberkulos (TB) är en luftburen bakteriell lungsjukdom med ett starkt globalt fäste framför allt i utvecklingsländer i Afrika och Asien. Ett allvarligt hot mot den globala kontrollen av TB spridning är utvecklingen av antibiotika resistens och framför allt multidrogresistent TB sk. MDR-TB. Dessa bakteriestammar är resistenta mot många eller ibland samtliga befintliga antibiotika vi har att tillgå för att bota TB. Befintlig MDR-TB behandling kan uppgå till över 2 år och bli väldigt kostsam för drabbade familjer men också för samhället. Vår forskning syftar till utveckla ny immunterapi som kan användas för att stödja befintlig antibiotika behandling och på så sätt förbättra och förkorta vård av MDR-TB.Vi vet att tuberkulosbakterien infekterar och överlever inuti vita blodkroppar sk. makrofager, särskilt i lungan. Trots att makrofagen kan svara på infektionen med en rad avancerade försvarsmekanismer, så kan bakterien ändå klara sig och undkomma avdödning. På så sätt kan TB infektion etableras och involverar i ett senare skede i infektionsförloppet även andra immunceller sk. T celler, vars funktion också är avgörande för hur kroppen kan hantera TB infektionen. Tillsammans med forskare i Etiopien arbetar forskargruppen med ett nytt koncept som innebär att vi använder oss av preparat med effekt på sk. epigenetisk modifiering samt immun-modulering, av immunceller som är viktiga för att kontrollera eller avlägsna TB infektion. Epigenetiska modifieringar av DNA i kroppens celler, innebär att kemiska förändringar av DNA molekylen påverkar hur tillgängligt detta är för att översättas till proteiner eller byggstenar som vidare kan påverka olika signalvägar i tex. immunsystemets celler i kroppen. Immun-modulerande preparat har istället en direkt effekt på olika proteiner som uttrycks av eller i immunceller och kan därmed styra hur immuncellerna ska svara. Tuberkulosbakterien har utvecklat strategier för att blockera effektiv aktivering av immunceller, och tanken är att preparaten med epigenetiska- och immun-modulerande egenskaper tillsammans ska motverka denna blockering och låsa upp och stärka immunsvaret vilket kan påskynda utläkning av sjukdom.Det finns en grupp preparat som kan reglera epigenetiska mekanismer och som kallas för histone deacetylas inhibitorer (HDACi). I en klinisk prövning i Etiopien, har vi undersökt om behandling med en HDACi (fenylbutyrat), tillsammans med vitamin D, kan samverka för att stärka immunsvaret och förhindra sjukdomsförloppet hos patienter med lungtuberkulos. Prövningen visade att preparaten kan minska TB symtom avsevärt och vi har nu för avsikt att närmare studera immunsvar och epigenetiska förändringar i immunceller från de patienter som svarat bäst på behandlingen jämfört med patienter som fått placebo läkemedel. Vi tror att dessa analyser kan hjälpa oss att identifiera uttryck av specifika molekyler på ytan av immunceller i blodet, som vi kan reglera med epigenetiska- och immun-modulerande preparat med avsikten att stärka kroppens egna immunsvar mot bakterien. För att kunna testa vår hypotes, kommer vi vidare att samla in hostprover samt blodprover och lungvävnads biopsier från Etiopiska patienter med MDR-TB. Makrofager isoleras från hostprov och behandlas med ett flertal olika HDACi för att studera vilken som bäst kan stärka cellens försvarsmekanismer och öka bakteriell avdödning. Från samma patienter testar vi om olika immun-modulerande preparat kan blockera de molekyler och signalvägar som vi tror har en negativ inverkan på T celler i blodet, och på så sätt stärka T cellers funktion samt deras förmåga att kontrollera TB sjukdom. Till sist avser vi att kombinera en kandidat HDACi med en immun-modulator med syftet att först 1.) aktivera MDR-TB-infekterade makrofager, för att i nästa steg 2.) aktivera T cellerna vars funktion är att döda infekterade makrofager. Vår förhoppning är att kunna tyda mönster som kopplar en viss epigenetisk förändring i MDR-TB-infekterade celler till en ökning av försvarsmekanismer hos immuncellerna. Positiva resultat från vår forskning bidrar direkt till patientnyttan, eftersom preparat som stärker immunsvar har möjligheten att stödja konventionell antibiotika behandling och påskynda utläkningen av svårbehandlad MDR-TB. Likt modern cancersjukvård, så strävar vi emot en individanpassad TB sjukvård som innebär flera behandlingsalternativ som i längden kan förkorta och förbättra behandling samt minska utveckling av antibiotika resistens.

The existing vaccine does not provide a full protection, and drug resistance is rising. The lack of correlates of protection hampers the generation of new vaccines. Immune responses in TB lung lesions are central for such understanding, since these account for containment or systemic spreading and transmission. Using, in situ sequencing, a powerful spatially resolved transcriptomic method, the immune topography of the Tuberculosis lesions in lung biopsies from patients (with latent or active TB, co-infected or not with HIV) and non-human primates (vaccinated and protected and with latent or active TB or with SIV coinfection) will be defined.Specifically, ≥ 250 transcripts coding for innate and adaptive immune response as well as Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) molecules regulated in response to immune stress will be aligned with the tissue morphology at cellular resolution. Maps of immune transcripts in different granulomas in the same lung, in diverse areas of the granuloma and in proximity to the Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) bacilli will be outlined. Networks of co-expressed transcripts will be identified. The heterogeneity between lesions and also the common networks in various lesions will be defined in annotated areas and in a non-supervised manner.Thus, immune topography involved in protection against progression to active TB will be defined, providing a guide in development of new vaccines. Tuberkulos (TBC) skördar ett mänskligt liv var tredje minut och har dödat fler människor än någon annan infektionssjukdom under hela mänsklighetens historia. En tredjedel av världens befolkning är infekterad av bakterien Mycobacterium tuberculosis som orsakar sjukdomen TBC. Bara hos 10 procent av dessa bryter sjukdomen ut, medan de andra förblir latent infekterade med M. tuberculosis. En person med latent tuberkulos (LTBC) har inga sjukdomssymtom och är inte smittsam, men är bärare av tuberkelbakterien och har en liten risk att insjukna i aktiv tuberkulos i framtiden. Ändå dör ungefär två miljoner TBC patienter varje år världen över. Varför sjukdomen bryter ut hos vissa individer men inte hos andra är inte heller helt klart, men samspelet mellan immunförsvar och bakterier är centralt i infektionens utveckling.Det blir allt svårare för sjukvården att kontrollera TBC i takt med att allt fler bakteriestammar blir resistenta mot antibiotika. Problemet kompliceras ytterligare av HIV-epidemin, vilket gör att människor som är infekterade med HIV är mycket känsliga för TBC. Detta visar också att cellmedierat immunförsvaret som försvagas av HIV, är centralt i TBC kontrollen.Hittills är vaccinet Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG), som utvecklades för nästan 100 år sedan, det enda godkända vaccinet för förebyggande av TBC. BCG administreras till nyfödda barn över hela världen. Även om BCG-vaccinering skyddar småbarn från de allvarligaste konsekvenserna av TBC-sjukdom, ger den dåligt skydd mot lungsjukdom hos ungdomar och vuxna. Olika vaccinkandidater är under utveckling men hittills har inga av dessa godkänts för användning. Ett problem som väsentligt försenar utvecklingen av nya TBC-vacciner är att effekten inte kan förutsägas. Den vetenskapliga grunden för utveckling av något effektivt vaccin innefattar en signifikant förståelse av immunologiska mekanismer för skydd mot infektion eller sjukdom; molekylära korrelaten av dessa mekanismer skulle minska behovet av stora, fleråriga effektstudier.M. tuberculosis infekterar en typ av vita blodkroppar som heter makrofager. Makrofager bildar med lymfocyter och andra immunceller inflammatoriska härdar i lungorna som går under namnet granulom. Granulomet hindrar inte bara M. tuberculosis bakterierna från att spridas utan det tillhandahåller också en miljö där immunsystemets celler kan kommunicera. M. tuberculosis inte alltid elimineras i ett granulom. De kan istället komma in i ett vilande tillstånd, vilket resulterar i en latent smitta. Alternativt kan bakterierna föröka sig i granulom och kan sprida sig i kroppen, eller hostas upp och smitta omgivningen. Det är i granulomet som utvecklingen av TBC infektionen avgörs. Skilda typer av granulom innehåller en mängd olika immunceller. Dessa är belägna i olika områden av det humana TBC-granulomet. Det är deras exakta lokalisering, fördelning, funktion och samordning som gör granulomet effektivt för att kontrollera bakteriell tillväxt. Forskarna vet inte exakt hur detta går till, vilket försvårar skapandet av effektiva vaccin.Vi kommer jämföra granulomstrukturen hos biopsier eller autopsier från individer med latent eller aktiv TBC från Pakistan och Brasilien. Dessutom kommer autopsier från patienter co-infekterade med HIV-TBC att studeras. Vi kommer att använda ”in situ sekvenciering”; en ny bildteknik som simultant kan belysa olika immunförsvarskomponenter på cell- och molekylär nivå, för att förstå samspelet mellan de olika immuncellerna och deras funktioner i granulom.Makaker, en utmärkt modell för att studera både latent och aktiv TBC, visar en rad patologier som märkbart liknar den som ses hos människor. Vi kommer att studera lungbiopsier från vaccinerade eller TBC-infekterade primater. Dessutom kommer biopsier från makaker med latent eller aktiv TBC-infektion och de som återaktiveras på grund av saminfektion med en HIV-liknande virus att studeras.Vi kommer att skapa den första detaljerade kartläggningen av humana immunsvar i TBC-lungvävnad, med information om cellens placering, egenskaper, samordning, heterogenitet av immunsvaret i olika områden av TBC-granulom. Kartorna kommer att relateras till hur bakterier styrs i granulom. Skillnader i immunkartorna vid lesioner hos latenta eller vaccinerade och aktiva TBC-grupper kommer att bidra till att dechiffrera det skyddande immunförsvaret mot TBC. Vi tror att den erhållna informationen kommer att leda till utvecklingen av nya vacciner.

Immune responses in TB lung lesions are central for such understanding, since these account for containment or systemic spreading and transmission. Using, in situ sequencing, a powerful spatially resolved transcriptomic method, the immune topography of the Tuberculosis lesions in lung biopsies from patients (with latent or active TB, co-infected or not with HIV) and non-human primates (vaccinated and protected and with latent or active TB or with SIV coinfection) will be defined.Specifically, ≥ 250 transcripts coding for innate and adaptive immune response as well as Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) molecules regulated in response to immune stress will be aligned with the tissue morphology at cellular resolution. Maps of immune transcripts in different granulomas in the same lung, in diverse areas of the granuloma and in proximity to the Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) bacilli will be outlined. Networks of co-expressed transcripts will be identified. The heterogeneity between lesions and also the common networks in various lesions will be defined in annotated areas and in a non-supervised manner.Thus, immune topography involved in protection against progression to active TB will be defined, providing a guide in development of new vaccines. Tuberkulos (TBC) skördar ett mänskligt liv var tredje minut och har dödat fler människor än någon annan infektionssjukdom under hela mänsklighetens historia. En tredjedel av världens befolkning är infekterad av bakterien Mycobacterium tuberculosis som orsakar sjukdomen TBC. Bara hos 10 procent av dessa bryter sjukdomen ut, medan de andra förblir latent infekterade med M. tuberculosis. En person med latent tuberkulos (LTBC) har inga sjukdomssymtom och är inte smittsam, men är bärare av tuberkelbakterien och har en liten risk att insjukna i aktiv tuberkulos i framtiden. Ändå dör ungefär två miljoner TBC patienter varje år världen över. Varför sjukdomen bryter ut hos vissa individer men inte hos andra är inte heller helt klart, men samspelet mellan immunförsvar och bakterier är centralt i infektionens utveckling.Det blir allt svårare för sjukvården att kontrollera TBC i takt med att allt fler bakteriestammar blir resistenta mot antibiotika. Problemet kompliceras ytterligare av HIV-epidemin, vilket gör att människor som är infekterade med HIV är mycket känsliga för TBC. Detta visar också att cellmedierat immunförsvaret som försvagas av HIV, är centralt i TBC kontrollen.Hittills är vaccinet Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG), som utvecklades för nästan 100 år sedan, det enda godkända vaccinet för förebyggande av TBC. BCG administreras till nyfödda barn över hela världen. Även om BCG-vaccinering skyddar småbarn från de allvarligaste konsekvenserna av TBC-sjukdom, ger den dåligt skydd mot lungsjukdom hos ungdomar och vuxna. Olika vaccinkandidater är under utveckling men hittills har inga av dessa godkänts för användning. Ett problem som väsentligt försenar utvecklingen av nya TBC-vacciner är att effekten inte kan förutsägas. Den vetenskapliga grunden för utveckling av något effektivt vaccin innefattar en signifikant förståelse av immunologiska mekanismer för skydd mot infektion eller sjukdom; molekylära korrelaten av dessa mekanismer skulle minska behovet av stora, fleråriga effektstudier.M. tuberculosis infekterar en typ av vita blodkroppar som heter makrofager. Makrofager bildar med lymfocyter och andra immunceller inflammatoriska härdar i lungorna som går under namnet granulom. Granulomet hindrar inte bara M. tuberculosis bakterierna från att spridas utan det tillhandahåller också en miljö där immunsystemets celler kan kommunicera. M. tuberculosis inte alltid elimineras i ett granulom. De kan istället komma in i ett vilande tillstånd, vilket resulterar i en latent smitta. Alternativt kan bakterierna föröka sig i granulom och kan sprida sig i kroppen, eller hostas upp och smitta omgivningen. Det är i granulomet som utvecklingen av TBC infektionen avgörs. Skilda typer av granulom innehåller en mängd olika immunceller. Dessa är belägna i olika områden av det humana TBC-granulomet. Det är deras exakta lokalisering, fördelning, funktion och samordning som gör granulomet effektivt för att kontrollera bakteriell tillväxt. Forskarna vet inte exakt hur detta går till, vilket försvårar skapandet av effektiva vaccin.Vi kommer jämföra granulomstrukturen hos biopsier eller autopsier från individer med latent eller aktiv TBC från Pakistan och Brasilien. Dessutom kommer autopsier från patienter co-infekterade med HIV-TBC att studeras. Vi kommer att använda ”in situ sekvenciering”; en ny bildteknik som simultant kan belysa olika immunförsvarskomponenter på cell- och molekylär nivå, för att förstå samspelet mellan de olika immuncellerna och deras funktioner i granulom.Makaker, en utmärkt modell för att studera både latent och aktiv TBC, visar en rad patologier som märkbart liknar den som ses hos människor. Vi kommer att studera lungbiopsier från vaccinerade eller TBC-infekterade primater. Dessutom kommer biopsier från makaker med latent eller aktiv TBC-infektion och de som återaktiveras på grund av saminfektion med en HIV-liknande virus att studeras.Vi kommer att skapa den första detaljerade kartläggningen av humana immunsvar i TBC-lungvävnad, med information om cellens placering, egenskaper, samordning, heterogenitet av immunsvaret i olika områden av TBC-granulom. Kartorna kommer att relateras till hur bakterier styrs i granulom. Skillnader i immunkartorna vid lesioner hos latenta eller vaccinerade och aktiva TBC-grupper kommer att bidra till att dechiffrera det skyddande immunförsvaret mot TBC. Vi tror att den erhållna informationen kommer att leda till utvecklingen av nya vacciner.

Africa, however, has blindingly been left behind in this quest for cleaner air and better health, with extreme gaps in air pollution data The overall purpose of AIR (Air polluition Impact Resources) is to develop a long-term partnership between Sweden and three universities in Ethiopia; Addis Ababa University, Jimma University, and Haramaya University. AIR will conduct inventory, knowledge exchange, small-scale pilot studies in order to 1) build capacity of providing all necessary ground based measurements in support of the NASA mission MAIA, and 2) produce joint research applications of high scientific quality. MAIA will provide Ethiopia and 11 other targets globally with state-of the art modelling of air pollutants enabling new epidemiological studies and health impact assessments. Ethiopia is the only low-income country in this mission, but measurements supporting this mission is currently lacking and methodological challenges to the measurements can only be solved by capacity building. The aim of AIR, including JPL/Caltech/NASA, UCLA, USC, and University of Minnesota, is to strengthen collaborations and increase capacity building. AIR will bring researchers of different backgrounds together and act as the needed impetus for long-term continuity of research efforts. Most importantly, it can support locally driven efforts that can generate important knowledge to inform and influence policy makers. Forskning på luftföroreningshalter och på hur olika egenskaper hos luftföroreningar påverkar vår hälsa har på sistone expanderat från Europa och Nordamerika till Asien och Sydamerika. Dock har Afrika – en kontinent med enormt snabb urbanisering – blivit lämnad i kölvattnet i denna strävan efter renare luft och bättre hälsa, med enorma brister på luftföroreningsdata. Forskare från höginkomstländer, som till exempel Sverige, har svårt att utforma och genomföra bra studier i Afrika trots vår stora tillgång på mätinstrument och analysmetoder. Möjligheten att genomföra bra forskning i Afrika begränsas av svårigheter att förstå hur akuta sociala problem, vanor, och kulturella normer påverkar genomförbarheten av studier som tidigare visat sig fungera bra i Sverige. Andra mer praktiska problem som begränsar möjligheten att genomföra studier och att implementera lösningar är bristen på stabilt elnät och tillgången till wifi.  I Afrika är man utsatt för en dubbel börda av luftföroreningar. Utomhus är halterna mycket högre än i de flesta andra delar av världen på grund av en gammal fordonsflotta som kör på oren diesel, och på att man hanterar sina sopor genom att bränna dem utomhus. Inomhus är halterna  ofta 10-100 gånger högre än de höga utomhushalterna, eftersom 93 % av befolkningen lagar mat och värmer sina hus med fasta bränslen (träkol, ved och torkad kodynga). I Etiopien, Afrikas näst folkrikaste land, tror man att 5,5 % av alla dödsfall är kopplade till luftföroreningar. Dessa uppskattningar är troligen i underkant eftersom de, på grund av att data från Afrika saknas, är baserade på effekter av luftföroreningar fastställda i andra delar av världen, där föroreningskällorna är helt annorlunda.Baserat på våra erfarenheter av, och svårigheter med, att nyligen försöka kartlägga luftföroreningarna i Adama, Etiopens tredje största stad, står det helt klart för oss att ett framgångsrikt arbete med att minska luftföroreningar, och därmed öka hälsan hos befolkningen, bara kan göras i ett nära samarbete med berörda parter. Vi föreslår därför uppbyggandet av ett nätverk, AIR (Air pollution Impact Resources) mellan Sverige och Etiopien.AIR kommer att baseras på en kapacitetsuppbyggnad som ska komma både Sverige och Etiopien till godo. Kapacitetsuppbyggnad är det sätt på vilket individer och organisationer får, förbättrar och behåller den kompetens, kunskap, verktyg, utrustning och andra resurser som behövs för att utföra högkvalitativ och relevant forskning och högt genomslag. Genom att kombinera den världsledande expertis i aerosolmätteknik och bedömning av hälsoeffekter som finns på Lunds universitet med den unika insikt i infrastruktur, skrivna och oskrivna lagar, normer och kultur som finns hos våra Etiopiska parter på universiteten i Addis Abeba, Haramaya och Jimma ska vi tillsammans utveckla metoder för att genomföra mätningar och koppla dess resultat till hälsoeffekter. Målet är att skapa en gynnsam grogrund för forskningssamarbeten som kan hjälpa Etiopien och andra låginkomstländer att möta flera av hållbarhetsmålen.I AIR finns ett nyligen inlett samarbete med NASA och den satellit (MAIA – Multi-Angle Imager for Aerosols) för kartläggande av luftföroreningar globalt  som ska skjutas upp år 2022. MAIA kommer att ha 12 primära målområden varav Etiopien är ett ifall det därifrån går att producera markbaserad mätdata för att relatera de aerosolegenskaper satelliten mäter från rymden med de källor som finns i landet. Om vi i AIR tillsammans kan bygga upp kapacitet att genomföra sådana mätningar innebär det fantastiska möjligheter både för Etiopen och för Sverige att delta i detta stora projekt som kommer att generera data som kan ligga till grund för ett stort antal nationella och internationella ansökningar. Samarbetet kommer också att skapa unika möjligheter för Etiopien att mäta och övervaka luftföroreningar vilket är en förutsättning för att skapa medvetenhet om problemet, och generera verktyg att göra något åt det, bland befolkning och beslutsfattare.Med andra ord, samarbetet i AIR, som förenar forskare från olika bakgrund med ett gemensamt intresse av luftföroreningar och dess hälsoeffekter, kan fungera som den språngbräda som hittills saknas för långsiktiga forskningsprojekt i detta fält. Det kan möjliggöra för både Etiopien och Sverige att vara del av stora internationella satsningar och, inte minst, stödja lokala satsningar som kan i längden kan generera den kunskap som behövs för att kunna påverka beslutsfattare.

With this proposal we aim to reconstruct Southern African hydroclimate variability, with emphasis on the nature and frequency of extreme rainfall anomalies, and associated ecosystem impacts. Geochemical tools will be applied on sedimentological sequences sampled from climate sensitive ecosystems in South Africa, Lesotho and Mozambique. More specifically, we will; 1) implement state-of-the-art compound specific isotope analysis (CSIA) and X-ray fluorescence scanning (XRF) for hydroclimate proxy reconstructions - a proxy-combination optimal for unambiguous and robust interpretative assessment, 2) focus on high-resolution data for identification of short-term extreme events and abrupt climate shifts, 3) provide tight chronological control for optimal inter-site comparison and identification of potential leads and lags within and between climate- and eco-systems, 4) run climate model simulations with a coupled earth system model. In parallel, biogenic methods will yield data on local aquatic- and regional vegetation dynamics, providing a coupling between ecosystem response and climate change. De senaste åren har flera klimatmodeller tagits fram för att förutspå framtida klimat-förändringar för olika platser på jorden. De regionala klimatmodeller som finns tillgängliga för Afrika, uppvisar ofta mycket osäkra och ibland tvetydiga resultat. Osäkerheten i modellerna för Afrika är särskilt stor när det gäller att uppskatta framtida nederbördsmönster. Detta är olyckligt eftersom en stor del avbefolkningen i södra Afrika är beroende av klimatkänsliga näringar, som t.ex. jordbruk, och därmed på sikt hade kunnat gynnas av tillförlitliga klimatmodeller om sådana fanns tillgängliga. För att förfina och förbättra dessa modeller, krävs en ökad förståelse för det gångna klimatet i södra Afrika och de processer som ligger bakom de naturliga klimatförändringar som drabbat regionen historiskt sett. Ett sätt att öka förståelsen för klimatrelaterade processer är att undersöka det gångna klimatet genom att analysera olika klimatkänsliga parametrar i naturliga arkiv. I vårt projekt kommer vi att använda oss av främst sjösediment och torv från våtmarker i Lesotho, södra Moçambique och östra Sydafrika. Genom kontakter med lokala forskare och från egna fältobservationer har vi identifierat lovande arkiv i områden där hittills ytterst få klimatologiska dataserier finns tillgängliga. Vi kommer att datera dessa arkiv med kol-14-metoden, och analysera klimatkänsliga kemiska parametrar (isotopsammansättning i biomarkörer, samt sammansättningen av olika grundämnen i det oorganiska materialet), samt vegetations- och miljökänsliga mikrofossil (pollen, diatomeer). Dessa parametrar i kombination, kan ge information om hur mängden nederbörd varierat i tid, hur vegetationstäcket förändrats, hur våtmarkernas vattenbalans har växlat, hur säsongsnederbörden varierat osv. Denna information är indirekt, och ibland till och med direkt kopplad till klimatet och vi kan på så sätt uppskatta de relativa, men ibland också kvantitativa, förändringarna i nederbörd, cirkulationsförändringar, evaporation osv., för den tidsperiod som våra klimatarkiv omfattar. Vi kan även studera hur vegetaiton och miljö påverkats av klimatförändringar, och på så sätt få en bättre förståelse för hur kämsliga dagens ekosystem är för kommande klimatförändringar kopplande till den globala uppvärmningen. Länderna i södra Afrika påverkas i hög grad av de pågående klimatförändringarna och är beroende av strategier för anpassning till de nya förhållanden som råder och kommer att råda i framtiden. Paleo-klimat-forskning är av stor betydelse i detta sammanhang, eftersom den kan leda till bättre och förfinade regionala klimatmodeller, samt en bättre förståese för kopplingen mellan klimatförändringar, miljöpåverkan och vegetationsdynamik.

Central America is a region where the number of undernourished people has increased, moving this region away from meeting the Sustainable Development Goal 2: Zero Hunger by 2030. Hence, biotechnological innovation is very much needed if resilient crops with improved productivity, quality, and nutritional value are to be achieved. The goal of this proposal is to establish the network Sweden-Central America and together develop functional crops with high nutritional value and resilient to the effects of climate change. To achieve this, the consortium is organized in four working groups which together seek to develop, evaluate, and implement the cultivation of nutritive and resilient crops. The topics of discussion and knowledge transference within this network will spin around the development of functional and resilient biofortified crop varieties using classical breeding techniques, the implementation of plant biotechnology techniques; the education and training of professionals within the area of food nutrition responsible for the evaluation of the nutritional value and bioavailability of the improved crops, and finally by consolidating the legal guidelines so the devalopment of science-based advancements in agriculture will not be prohibitive. Förra året rapporterade FN: s livsmedels- och jordbruksorganisation (FAO) att antalet undernärda människor i Latinamerika och Karibien hade ökat främst på grund av konsumtionen av mat som är fattig i näringsämnen, såsom järn, zink och vitamin A och B12, samt effekten av klimatförändringar på jordbruket. Till exempel så drabbades regionen år 2015-2016 av den värsta torkperioden på 35 år, orsakad av El Niño-fenomenet. Torkan resulterade i betydande minskningar av jordbruksproduktionen och 50-90% av skörden gick förlorad, vilket gjorde att mer än 3,6 miljoner människor behövde humanitär hjälp. Ökningen i antalet hungriga har avlägsnat denna region från det hållbara utvecklingsmålet 2: noll hunger till år 2030. Honduras och Guatemala är två centralamerikanska länder vars jordbruk är mycket utsatt för klimatförändringar, eftersom de drabbas av olika naturkatastrofer som orkaner, tropiska stormer, översvämningar, torka och jordskred som förstör grödor och kritisk infrastruktur. Därför har båda länderna höga nivåer av fattigdom och undernäring. Analys av den årliga tillväxt-takten för stora grödor visar att produktivitetsvinsterna är marginella och 40% respektive 10% av befolkningen i Guatemala och Honduras har en inkomst under US $ 1 per dag. Dessutom har det uppskattats att 58% och 49,8% av barnen drabbas av kronisk undernäring i Honduras respektive Guatemala.

Central America is a region where the number of undernourished people has increased, moving this region away from meeting the Sustainable Development Goal 2: Zero Hunger by 2030. Hence, biotechnological innovation is very much needed if resilient crops with improved productivity, quality, and nutritional value are to be achieved. The goal of this proposal is to establish the network Sweden-Central America and together develop functional crops with high nutritional value and resilient to the effects of climate change. To achieve this, the consortium is organized in four working groups which together seek to develop, evaluate, and implement the cultivation of nutritive and resilient crops. The topics of discussion and knowledge transference within this network will spin around the development of functional and resilient biofortified crop varieties using classical breeding techniques, the implementation of plant biotechnology techniques; the education and training of professionals within the area of food nutrition responsible for the evaluation of the nutritional value and bioavailability of the improved crops, and finally by consolidating the legal guidelines so the devalopment of science-based advancements in agriculture will not be prohibitive. Förra året rapporterade FN: s livsmedels- och jordbruksorganisation (FAO) att antalet undernärda människor i Latinamerika och Karibien hade ökat främst på grund av konsumtionen av mat som är fattig i näringsämnen, såsom järn, zink och vitamin A och B12, samt effekten av klimatförändringar på jordbruket. Till exempel så drabbades regionen år 2015-2016 av den värsta torkperioden på 35 år, orsakad av El Niño-fenomenet. Torkan resulterade i betydande minskningar av jordbruksproduktionen och 50-90% av skörden gick förlorad, vilket gjorde att mer än 3,6 miljoner människor behövde humanitär hjälp. Ökningen i antalet hungriga har avlägsnat denna region från det hållbara utvecklingsmålet 2: noll hunger till år 2030. Honduras och Guatemala är två centralamerikanska länder vars jordbruk är mycket utsatt för klimatförändringar, eftersom de drabbas av olika naturkatastrofer som orkaner, tropiska stormer, översvämningar, torka och jordskred som förstör grödor och kritisk infrastruktur. Därför har båda länderna höga nivåer av fattigdom och undernäring. Analys av den årliga tillväxt-takten för stora grödor visar att produktivitetsvinsterna är marginella och 40% respektive 10% av befolkningen i Guatemala och Honduras har en inkomst under US $ 1 per dag. Dessutom har det uppskattats att 58% och 49,8% av barnen drabbas av kronisk undernäring i Honduras respektive Guatemala.

Efter att ett barnbarn till Hans Rosling, den berömda professorn i internationell hälsa, fick hjärnhinneinflammation så infördes en viktig förändring för alla barn i Sverige. Hans Roslings och hans kollegors påverkansarbete ledde till att från 2009 har alla barn i Sverige rätt till vaccination mot en av de bakterier som kan orsaka hjärnhinneinflammation, det är nu en del av det allmänna barndomsvaccinationsprogrammet. Hjärnhinneinflammation är dock en komplex sjukdom som kan orsakas av många olika organismer såsom bakterier, virus och parasiter och idag finns det endast vaccin som skyddar mot vissa av dessa organismer. Följaktligen, när ett barn kommer till akuten med feber och andra symptom som kan tyda på  att barnet har hjärnhinneinflammation så beställer läkaren omedelbart en serie olika kliniska labbtester för att klargöra om barnet har hjärnhinneinflammation och i så fall vilken organism som ligger bakom. Att klargöra den specifika orsaken bakom en patients hjärnhinneinflammation är väsentligt eftersom det tillåter läkaren att sätta in den rätta behandlingen som krävs i just det fallet. Dessa labbtester är dock dyra, kräver avancerad labbutrustning och måste utföras och tolkas av specialiserad labbpersonal och mikrobiologer. När ett barn uppvisar tecken på hjärnhinneinflammation i ett låginkomstland såsom Uganda är det ofta att det närmsta sjukhuset inte har de resurser som krävs för att utföra testerna som kan klargöra vilken organism som orsakar sjukdomen. Allt som oftast blir barn på landsbygden i Uganda behandlade med antibiotika men tillfrisknar ändå inte, eftersom de får fel behandling på grund av de bristfälliga diagnostiska testerna.Mitt forskningsprojekt går ut på att bemöta detta behov av förbättrad diagnostik av hjärnhinneinflammation i resursfattiga områden och tillsammans med forskare i Uganda utveckla ett patientnära diagnostiskt verktyg. Ett verktyg som är portabelt, billigt och som kan användas i sjukhus som inte har tillgång till avancerad labbutrustning. Verktyget bör vara pålitligt och jämförbart med de som används i Sverige men designat specifikt för de omständigheter som råder i Ugandas sjukvårdssystemet. På KTH har vi kommit en lång väg med att utveckla ett sådant verktyg men vi har inte utvärderat dess användbarhet i verkliga kliniska situationer. Under mitt projekt kommer jag att arbeta tillsammans med Mbarara Hospital och Läkare Utan Gränsers forskningslaboratorium i Mbarara, Uganda för att utforma verktyget så att det passar in på deras sjukhus som vårdar många fattiga familjer.Varför är detta projekt viktigt? Förbättring av hälsa är nära sammankopplat med utplåning av extrem fattigdom och det finns ett enormt behov av innovation inom lågkostnadsdiagnostik.

However, the emergence and spread of drug-resistant viral variants constitutes an imminent threat to the global roll-out of ART.This project is based on large representative cohorts from different parts of Ethiopia, the second most populous nation in Africa, and includes both HIV-positive subjects and individuals at high risk of HIV acquisition. Longitudinal follow-up and access to epidemiological and clinical data, as well as genetic information of the virus, will reveal new information on how viral, socio-demographic and behavioral factors interact in HIV transmission, with particular regard to drug-resistant variants. This knowledge will elucidate mechanisms of drug resistance development, and will be of direct use for the modification of ART programs. Moreover, the characterization of HIV transmission in the general population and high-risk groups, based on both viral and detailed epidemiological and behavioural factors, will provide new insights of how drug-resistant HIV strains disseminate.The results of this project will have direct impact for ART programs in Ethiopia and for similar settings in the world, where HIV-1 subtype C is dominant. Den globala expansionen av bromsmediciner mot HIV infektion anses vara en av de största folkhälsoinsatser som någonsin genomförts. Hittills är resultaten lovande både vad gäller hälsa och överlevnad hos HIV positiva individer. Framväxten av läkemedelsresistenta virusvarianter utgör ett ständigt hot mot den globala expansionen av bromsmediciner. Eftersom bromsmedicinprogram i de flesta regioner i världen inte omfattar övervakning av virusmängd eller tester för att se ifall det kan finnas mutationer hos viruset, är det troligt att uppkomst och överföring av läkemedelsresistenta virus kan ske obemärkt under längre tidsperioder.Dessutom, även om det totala antalet Hiv-fall i många länder har minskat, kan överföring av resistenta virus fortsätta framför allt i grupper som har ett riskbeteende som kan HIV infektion. Sådana befolkningsgrupper kan också vara svåra att nå i förebyggande insatser och vård. De kan även ha beteenden som ökar risken för oregelbunden behandling. Dessa faktorer kan främja utvecklingen av läkemedelsresistens.Vårt forskningsprojekt bygger på stora representativa grupper av HIV positiva individer från olika delar av Etiopien, den näst folkrikaste nationen i Afrika söder om Sahara, och omfattar både Hiv-positiva patienter och individer med hög risk för HIV smitta. Långtidsuppföljning och tillgång till epidemiologiska och kliniska data samt arvsmassa från HIV kommer att kunna leda till ny och relevant information om de mönster och följder spridning av antiretroviral läkemedelsresistens kan ha.

It plays a crucial role for food security in Ethiopia. In Ethiopia, sorghum production is adversely affected by the widely distributed anthracnose disease caused by the fungal pathogen Colletotrichum sublineolum. Reducing the effects of this pathogen will improve livelihood of smallholder famers and strengthen food security in the country. Plant host resistance is an effective and sustainable method to protect sorghum from anthracnose. However, the breeding efforts to develop sorghum cultivars resistant to anthracnose is hampered by the poor understanding of the sorghum-anthracnose interactions, and lack of known major resistance (R-) genes. Here, we propose to apply the state-of-the-art resistance gene sequence capture method (RenSeq) coupled with single-molecule real-time (SMRT) sequencing, emerging molecular biology, metabolomics and biotechnology techniques for improving sorghum resistance. We will screen sorghum genotypes for resistance to anthracnose and understand the molecular basis of resistance against this disease, as well as identify and perform functional analysis of novel R-genes. Apart from an improved understanding about resistance mechanisms against anthracnose in sorghum, it will help develop genomic tools for marker assisted breeding; thus, advancing the knowledge and increasing sorghum production in Ethiopia, and other sub-Saharan countries. Durra är en av de viktigaste matgrödorna i många utvecklingsländer, särskilt i sub-Sahariska Afrika. I Etiopien, ett låg-inkomstland med problem med matförsörjningen, intar durra en särskilt viktig roll i livsmedelsförsörjningen tack vare dess förmåga att växa i halvtorrt jordar. Den är viktig för inkomsten för miljontals småbrukare. Durrans tolerans mot torka gör att den är väl rustad för framtida klimatförändringar och kommer kunna fortsätta spela en avgörande roll i livsmedelssäkerheten. Trots dess betydande roll för livsmedelssäkerhet, hindrar tyvärr växtskadegörare durraproduktionen. Antraknos, som orsakats av en vanligt förekommande och aggressiva svamppatogenen Colletotrichum sublineolum, har utpekats som en av de viktigaste sjukdomarna som påverkar durraproduktionen i Etiopien. Upp till 67 % avkastningsförlust på grund av antraknos har rapporterats. Förbättrad värdresistans mot antraknos hos durra-sorter och en bättre förståelse av resistansmekanismerna är nu i fokus hos forskarna för att upprätthålla en hållbar durraproduktion. Att identifiera durragenotyper med resistens är ett avgörande steg mot att förbättra värdmotståndet i grödan. Identifierandet av resistans (R-) gener i arvsmassan och införlivande av denna resistens i utvalda sorter anses vara det mest lovande sättet att förbättra värdmotståndet i grödor. I Etiopien, är den naturliga genetiska mångfalden hos durra är lyckligtvis hög, och naturlig variation är den rikaste källan till sjukdomsresistens. I detta projekt, som är ett samarbete mellan Sveriges Lantbruksuniversitet, Addis Ababa University och Mekelle Uiversity (Ethiopia), och University of Copenhagen (Denmark) för att identifiera R-generna kommer vi att använda en avancerad sekvenseringteknik för resistensgensberiknings kallad RenSeq. Parallellt vill vi dessutom testa och utveckla molekylärbiologi och metabolitanalys för att förstå resistensmekanismerna i durra. Dessutom vill vi utföra en funktionell analys av identifierade R-gener.

It plays a crucial role for food security in Ethiopia. In Ethiopia, sorghum production is adversely affected by the widely distributed anthracnose disease caused by the fungal pathogen Colletotrichum sublineolum. Reducing the effects of this pathogen will improve livelihood of smallholder famers and strengthen food security in the country. Plant host resistance is an effective and sustainable method to protect sorghum from anthracnose. However, the breeding efforts to develop sorghum cultivars resistant to anthracnose is hampered by the poor understanding of the sorghum-anthracnose interactions, and lack of known major resistance (R-) genes. Here, we propose to apply the state-of-the-art resistance gene sequence capture method (RenSeq) coupled with single-molecule real-time (SMRT) sequencing, emerging molecular biology, metabolomics and biotechnology techniques for improving sorghum resistance. We will screen sorghum genotypes for resistance to anthracnose and understand the molecular basis of resistance against this disease, as well as identify and perform functional analysis of novel R-genes. Apart from an improved understanding about resistance mechanisms against anthracnose in sorghum, it will help develop genomic tools for marker assisted breeding; thus, advancing the knowledge and increasing sorghum production in Ethiopia, and other sub-Saharan countries. Durra är en av de viktigaste matgrödorna i många utvecklingsländer, särskilt i sub-Sahariska Afrika. I Etiopien, ett låg-inkomstland med problem med matförsörjningen, intar durra en särskilt viktig roll i livsmedelsförsörjningen tack vare dess förmåga att växa i halvtorrt jordar. Den är viktig för inkomsten för miljontals småbrukare. Durrans tolerans mot torka gör att den är väl rustad för framtida klimatförändringar och kommer kunna fortsätta spela en avgörande roll i livsmedelssäkerheten. Trots dess betydande roll för livsmedelssäkerhet, hindrar tyvärr växtskadegörare durraproduktionen. Antraknos, som orsakats av en vanligt förekommande och aggressiva svamppatogenen Colletotrichum sublineolum, har utpekats som en av de viktigaste sjukdomarna som påverkar durraproduktionen i Etiopien. Upp till 67 % avkastningsförlust på grund av antraknos har rapporterats. Förbättrad värdresistans mot antraknos hos durra-sorter och en bättre förståelse av resistansmekanismerna är nu i fokus hos forskarna för att upprätthålla en hållbar durraproduktion. Att identifiera durragenotyper med resistens är ett avgörande steg mot att förbättra värdmotståndet i grödan. Identifierandet av resistans (R-) gener i arvsmassan och införlivande av denna resistens i utvalda sorter anses vara det mest lovande sättet att förbättra värdmotståndet i grödor. I Etiopien, är den naturliga genetiska mångfalden hos durra är lyckligtvis hög, och naturlig variation är den rikaste källan till sjukdomsresistens. I detta projekt, som är ett samarbete mellan Sveriges Lantbruksuniversitet, Addis Ababa University och Mekelle Uiversity (Ethiopia), och University of Copenhagen (Denmark) för att identifiera R-generna kommer vi att använda en avancerad sekvenseringteknik för resistensgensberiknings kallad RenSeq. Parallellt vill vi dessutom testa och utveckla molekylärbiologi och metabolitanalys för att förstå resistensmekanismerna i durra. Dessutom vill vi utföra en funktionell analys av identifierade R-gener. Resultaten kommer att underlätta screening av befintliga durrasorter i Etiopienför resistens mot antraknos och ytterligare införlivande av nya R-gener i förädlingsprogram för durraresistens. Detta projekt fördjupar kunskapen om viktiga resistensmekanismer och faktorer för framtida produktion av durra. Resultaten kommer att bidra till att förbättra vår förståelse av molekylära mekanismer för resistens mot antraknos i durra och att utveckla genomiska verktyg för markördriven förädling samt, allra viktigast, stärka livsmedelsförsörjningen i Etiopien.

Women in Angola generally have poorer living conditions compared to men. Child mortality and maternal mortality are high, and the country is one of the world´s most unequal and least developed. Possible reasons are the civil war, political repression and adverse gender norms.The research objective is to identify and describe what constitutes a health and human rights enabling social environment for young women in Angola. Specific aims are to analyse governance of the health system; assess health needs of young women and to what extent these are met; and to identify the role of social cohesion and health literacy for young women´s ability to control, influence and participate in the creation of health promotive lifestyles.This three-year mixed-method study (policy analysis, survey and interviews) is structured into three sub-studies focusing on: inter/national institutions and stakeholders; regional health service providers; young women and community networks. The first sub-study will prepare for the second, the third primarily summarize, yet the knowledge from all three will feed into each other (time plan in GANTT Chart). We will contribute with evidence for the development of inclusive social policies and interventions to promote health among young women, and so addressing the vicious cycle of poverty and health in a context of weak social safety nets. Det övergripande syftet med det här projektet är att stärka unga angolanska kvinnors hälsa och mänskliga rättigheter. Projektet kommer att bidra med kunskapsunderlag som kan stötta myndigheter och olika organisationer för utveckling av riktlinjer och program som riktas till unga kvinnor. Forskning om Angola är mycket begränsad, men de få studier som har genomförts visar att kvinnor har lägre utbildning och inkomster, och sämre hälsa inom nästan alla områden jämfört med män. Barnadödligheten liksom mödradödligheten är bland de högsta i världen och Angola är därför, av FN och Världsbanken, rankat som ett av världens mest ojämlika länder.Landet räknas som en världens minst utvecklade länder, fastän det är rikt på naturresurser. En anledning är det brutala inbördeskriget (1975-2002) under vilket landet täcktes av minor, den bördiga landsbygden avfolkades och större delen av sjukhus, skolor och vägar förstördes. Korruptionen är omfattande och det politiska förtrycket har lett till bristande tillit. Många internflyktingar bor i kåkstäder i provinsernas centralorter, utan kontakt med släktingar och med små möjligheter till försörjning.  I detta sammanhang är unga kvinnor särskilt utsatta och vi vill därför genomföra en studie som undersöker hur olika samhälleliga villkor påverkar deras hälsa och mänskliga rättigheter. Vi utgår ifrån det ramverk som WHO har formulerat för att studera sociala faktorers påverkan på hälsa och vi fokuserar på tre samhälleliga nivåer: nationella prioriteringar, regionala institutioners prestation; sociala sammanhang och unga kvinnors förståelse av och agerande för sin hälsa. Projektet formuleras i förhållande till vedertagna modeller och dess övergripande målsättning är att identifiera och beskriva hur ett socialt sammanhang som främjar unga kvinnors hälsa och mänskliga rättigheter kan se ut i den angolanska kontexten. Projektets specifika syften är att:kartlägga och analysera hälsoinstitutioners karaktär och styrningundersöka psykiska och sexuella/reproduktiva hälsobehov hos unga kvinnor samt hur dessa mötsstudera betydelsen av social sammanhållning och hälsolitteracitet för unga kvinnors möjlighet att främja sin hälsaFör att möta dessa syften använder vi olika forskningsmetoder i tre delstudier. Den första riktas mot myndigheter och inter/nationella organisationer och vi studerar då olika dokument, riktlinjer och program för att förstå vad dessa fångar eller förbiser. Vi gör också intervjuer med representanter för olika organisationer som arbetar med hälsofrågor och med ansvariga inom hälsoinriktade verksamheter i tre provinser. Fokus är på hur tillgängliga resurser används samt hur det relaterar till unga kvinnors behov. I den andra delstudien genomför vi en enkätstudie med drygt 1800 unga kvinnor i samma provinser. Där samlar vi information om deras hälsolitteracitet, deras behov av och tillgång till hälsoinsatser och om deras syn på social sammanhållning. I den tredje delstudien intervjuar vi unga kvinnor för att förstå det sammanhang där deras hälsa, levnadsvanor, hälsolitteracitet osv skapas. Vi kan därmed sammantaget skapa en fördjupad förståelse för hur och om unga kvinnors livssituation och hälsorisker hänger ihop med social utsatthet och samhällsstrukturer. Projektet är därmed ett exempel på hur individens hälsa är kopplat till den sociala och politiska miljön, dvs hur olika sociala strukturer och institutioner samverkar med, driver eller lindrar risker för hälsa och social utsatthet.Resultaten kommer att kunna användas för att vägleda utveckling av riktlinjer och program för att stärka unga kvinnors hälsa och mänskliga rättigheter, i resurssvaga och konfliktdrabbade områden. För att säkerställa att forskningen möter landets prioriteringar och kommer till nytta är vi ett team med svenska och angolanska forskare, som har erfarenhet ifrån forskning, arbete med myndigheter och med unga kvinnor.

Sådana unika data ger oss stora möjligheter till både teoriutveckling och empiriska insikter av relevans för beslutsfattare och resursanvändare. Viltförvaltning är en hörnsten i såväl bevarandet av biologisk mångfald som för effektiv fattigdomsbekämpning. De stora reservat som finns i Afrika söder om Sahara sägs ofta vara särskilt viktiga i detta avseende. Men dessa skyddade områden hotas samtidigt av tjuvjakt och överutnyttjande av gemensamma resurser. Att förstå hur tjuvjakt bäst kan bekämpas samt vilka faktorer och omgivande institutionella system som bäst uppmuntrar regelefterlevnad är därför av stor vikt. Projektet har Centre for Collective Action Research (CeCAR) och statsvetenskapliga institutionen i Göteborg som sin bas men kommer i stor utsträckning dra nytta av de kontakter och den erfarenhet vi sedan tidigare har från att arbeta i Afrika söder om Sahara kring frågor om hur institutioner påverkar naturresurshantering.

In sub-Saharan Africa, future urbanization is considered to be driven by a set of negative rural pressures, rather than the attraction of urban areas. The continuing importance of agriculture characterizes urbanization, as opportunities outside agriculture are limited. Small towns take on a special role in this context: the majority of the urban population lives in cities below 300 000 inhabitants, 26% in small towns of less than 50000 inhabitants. While linkages to agriculture are likely to continue to play a major role in urban livelihoods, kinship relations provide support in the absence of formalized systems of welfare provision. Theoretically the project combines perspectives from urban systems theory with perspectives on multi-local livelihoods to situate urbanisation processes spatially and economically, with respect to the urban system, rural surroundings and local business structure, politically in terms of local governance and socially in relation to kinship and multi-local livelihoods. The methodology involves a ground-breaking combination of remote sensing data analysis and the collection of quantitative data and qualitative interviews in selected sites in Tanzania and Uganda. Ett starkt fokus har riktats mot globala städer i takt med att världen urbaniseras allt snabbare. Urbaniseringen kommer dock inte att bäras av välbeställda konsumenter i globala städer som New York, Paris och Singapore, utan av en fattig lansbygdsbefolkning i det globala syd. Tidigare historiska exempel på urbaniseringsprocesser hämtas från det Globala Nord, men där innebar urbaniseringen minskad fattigdom när landsbygdsbefolkningen lämnade jordbruket och började arbeta inom industrin. I Afrika söder om Sahara är urbanisering inte kopplat till samma processer, utan här drivs urbaniseringen inte av industrialiseringen i städerna utan i stället av negativa processer på landsbygden, t ex befolkningsökning, ökande utarmning av naturresurser och klimatförändringar. Samtidigt innebär bristen på industrialisering att den urbaniserade befolkningen kommer att vara fortsatt beroende av jordbrukte för sin försörjning. Givet detta, har små städer som har direkta kopplingar till den omgivande landsbygden en viktig roll att spela i urbaniseringsprocesser i Afrika som helhet. I brist på statliga välfärdssystem så är försörjningsmönster i Afrika ofta kopplade till sociala nätverk och familjerelationer. Dessa nätverk sträcker sig geografiskt ofta över flera städer, mellan stad och land eller mellan olika landsbygdsområden och möjliggör länkar till jordbruket, men också omsorg om familjemedlemmar.Hur inkluderande urbaniseringen (inclusive urbanization) inom små städer är blir avgörande för möjligheten att bekämpa fattigdom också till följd av kopplingarna till andra geografiska områden. Inkluderande urbanisering är urbanisering som leder till  jämlik ekonomisk tillväxt och social villkor, i förhållande till kön, klass och generation. Projektet kommer att studera urbaniseringsprocesser i små städer - städer med mindre än 50000 invånare i två länder: Tanzania och Uganda. Genom en unik metod kommer vi att använda satellitbilder och geografiska informations system för att identifiera alla små städer som har upplevt inkluderande urbanisering sedan millenieskiftet. Åtta små städer kommer att väljas ut i varje land, i dessa kommer vi att samla in kvantitativa data genom ett frågeformulär riktat till alla vuxna individer i 4000 hushåll för att förstå hur deras försörjning ser ut, hur den är kopplad till den omgivande landsbygden och hur den hänger ihop med arbetstillfällen inom städerna som sådana. Från deltagarna i den kvantitativa undersökningen kommer 30 personer i varje stad att väljas ut för att djupintervjuas. Här stratifierar vi urvalet efter kön och ålder för att kunna se hur försörjningsmöjligheter skiljer sig åt. Vi kommer att samla in detaljerade data över migrationsmönster och förklaringar till varför vissa grupper har lämnat landsbygden. Slutligen, så intervjuar vi också lokala myndigheter och företrädare för det lokala näringslivet i varje stad, för att studera vilken roll lokala beslutsfattare och näringslivsstrukturen har för jämlik ekonomisk tillväxt.Genom projektet kommer vi dels kunna kartlägga och identifiera inkluderande urbanisering genom ett index som bygger helt och hållet på satellitdata, vilket innebär att det kan tillämpas på andra data fattiga områden, i Afrika som helhet. Analysen av sociala och familjebaserade nätverk innebär att vi kan fastställa betydelsen av dessa i fattiga människors försörjning medan vi får möjlighet att förstå om dessa bidrar till mer eller mindre jämlika urbaniseringsmönster. Slutligen kommer intervjuerna med myndighetspersoner och lokala näringslivsföreträdare ge oss insikter om möjligheter respektive begränsningarna när det gäller att få till stånd inkluderande urbanisering genom politiska initiativ.

Building resilience towards climate change impacts and ‘building back better’ is the sustainable way forward. Climate change impacts are very critical in vulnerable societies in Africa mainly because a climate crisis within no time translates into a humanitarian crisis through acute food shortage and lack of access to safe and clean water. Given the context, this network project aims to understand the current state of climate change adaptation policies and practices in vulnerable settings – smallholder farmers and urban marginalized poor – in Kenya and Tanzania. We will identify the reasons why the climate resilience of these vulnerable groups has not improved over the decades despite implementation of several adaptation funds and projects. This project coordinated by Nordic Africa Institute in Sweden collaborating with Kenyatta University in Kenya and University of Dar es Salaam in Tanzania aims to build a research network involving researchers, policy makers, intergovernmental organizations, organized farmer group representatives and other relevant stakeholders through a series of meetings, workshops and field visits. The project will provide valuable insights in devising strategies towards uplifting the vulnerable sections of society towards a climate resilient future. Klimatet förändras och effekterna av klimatförändringarna blir allt svårare för befolkning och miljö. Även om klimatförändringarna är ett globalt fenomen, känns dess effekter annorlunda i olika delar av världen beroende på den socioekonomiska kapaciteten i dessa regioner för att absorbera klimatkrisen. Vetenskapliga fynd indikerar att den afrikanska kontinenten är en av de svårast drabbade av de negativa effekterna av klimatförändringar främst på grund av dess låga anpassningsförmåga till klimatförändringar. Under de senaste decennierna har flera internationella och nationella finansieringsbyråer, allianser och organisationer genomfört flera anpassningsprojekt för klimatförändringar i majoriteten av de afrikanska länderna. Frågan kvarstår emellertid varför är det att dessa lands anpassningsförmåga, särskilt anpassningsförmågan hos de mest utsatta grupperna i dessa länder fortfarande inte förbättras. Detta nätverksprojekt syftar därför till att förstå situationen genom en serie nätverksaktiviteter i östra afrikanska länder Kenya och Tanzania.Det föreslagna projektet är att bygga och utveckla samarbete mellan Sverige, Kenya och Tanzania. Det koordinerande institutet i Sverige är Nordiska Afrika Institutet i Uppsala, och de deltagande instituten i Kenya och Tanzania är Kenyatta University och University of Dar es Salaam. Projektledaren i samarbete med de deltagande forskarna i Kenya och Tanzania syftar till att utveckla, underlätta och implementera nätverksaktiviteter som intressentmöten, workshops och fältbesök. Syftet med dessa nätverksaktiviteter är att förstå det aktuella tillståndet för anpassning av klimatförändringarna och klimatresiliens i de mest sårbara delarna av de två länderna - småbrukare och marginaliserade stadsfattiga. Det är viktigt att förstå de grundläggande orsakerna till den oförberedda och bristen på anpassningsförmåga och bristen på klimatresiliens i dessa utsatta grupper. Är det på grund av bristen på spridning av relevant och aktuell klimatinformation, eller är det på grund av bristen på social, institutionell och ekonomisk kapacitet bland dessa utsatta avdelningar och respektive lokala administrativa organisationer?Fallstudiegrupperna som identifierats i Kenya är småbrukarna i två klimatmiljöer, en i det halvtorra östra Machakos länet, och det andra i det västra fuktiga tätbefolkade Vihiga länet. Fallstudiegrupperna i Tanzania inkluderar småbrukarna i Dodoma och den marginaliserade stadsgruppen i Dar es Salaam. Jämförelsen mellan sektioner i Kenya kan ge förståelse för tillståndet för klimatresiliens hos samma grupp - småbrukare - i olika klimatmiljöer. Medan bedömningen i Tanzania kan ge insatser för klimatresiliens ur landsbygds- och stadsperspektiv. Den inledande fasen av projektet planeras börja i Kenya och genom en serie möten, workshops och fältbesök. Detta följs sedan av liknande nätverksaktiviteter i Tanzania. Mot slutet av projektet planeras en workshop i Sverige i syfte att sammanställa alla fynd från nätverksverksamheten och skriva ett forskningsförslag som bygger på detta nätverk projektresultat och samarbete.Resultaten från detta nätverksprojekt kan ge värdefull insikt om det stora problemet som den utsatta befolkningen står inför när det gäller att uppnå hållbar klimatresiliens. Detta har hög prioritet, särskilt i Afrika, eftersom klimatkrisen automatiskt innebär matkris, akut matbrist och allvarlig hälsokris som påverkar regionens socioekonomiska underhåll. De flesta delar av Afrika är redan under stress på grund av politisk instabilitet och finanskris, och klimatkrisen har potential att driva dem längre än återhämtningen. Därför är detta projekt mycket relevant för att ge svar på hur samhället kan lyftas upp från en reaktiv klimatanpassning varje gång en klimatkris inträffar till ett mer hållbart klimatfjädrande samhället. Resultaten från detta projekt genom samarbete och lika deltagande kommer att leda till ömsesidigt kunskapsutbyte.

Även om klimatförändringarna är ett globalt fenomen, känns dess effekter annorlunda i olika delar av världen beroende på den socioekonomiska kapaciteten i dessa regioner för att absorbera klimatkrisen. Vetenskapliga fynd indikerar att den afrikanska kontinenten är en av de svårast drabbade av de negativa effekterna av klimatförändringar främst på grund av dess låga anpassningsförmåga till klimatförändringar. Under de senaste decennierna har flera internationella och nationella finansieringsbyråer, allianser och organisationer genomfört flera anpassningsprojekt för klimatförändringar i majoriteten av de afrikanska länderna. Frågan kvarstår emellertid varför är det att dessa lands anpassningsförmåga, särskilt anpassningsförmågan hos de mest utsatta grupperna i dessa länder fortfarande inte förbättras. Detta nätverksprojekt syftar därför till att förstå situationen genom en serie nätverksaktiviteter i östra afrikanska länder Kenya och Tanzania.Det föreslagna projektet är att bygga och utveckla samarbete mellan Sverige, Kenya och Tanzania. Det koordinerande institutet i Sverige är Nordiska Afrika Institutet i Uppsala, och de deltagande instituten i Kenya och Tanzania är Kenyatta University och University of Dar es Salaam. Projektledaren i samarbete med de deltagande forskarna i Kenya och Tanzania syftar till att utveckla, underlätta och implementera nätverksaktiviteter som intressentmöten, workshops och fältbesök. Syftet med dessa nätverksaktiviteter är att förstå det aktuella tillståndet för anpassning av klimatförändringarna och klimatresiliens i de mest sårbara delarna av de två länderna - småbrukare och marginaliserade stadsfattiga. Det är viktigt att förstå de grundläggande orsakerna till den oförberedda och bristen på anpassningsförmåga och bristen på klimatresiliens i dessa utsatta grupper. Är det på grund av bristen på spridning av relevant och aktuell klimatinformation, eller är det på grund av bristen på social, institutionell och ekonomisk kapacitet bland dessa utsatta avdelningar och respektive lokala administrativa organisationer?Fallstudiegrupperna som identifierats i Kenya är småbrukarna i två klimatmiljöer, en i det halvtorra östra Machakos länet, och det andra i det västra fuktiga tätbefolkade Vihiga länet. Fallstudiegrupperna i Tanzania inkluderar småbrukarna i Dodoma och den marginaliserade stadsgruppen i Dar es Salaam. Jämförelsen mellan sektioner i Kenya kan ge förståelse för tillståndet för klimatresiliens hos samma grupp - småbrukare - i olika klimatmiljöer. Medan bedömningen i Tanzania kan ge insatser för klimatresiliens ur landsbygds- och stadsperspektiv. Den inledande fasen av projektet planeras börja i Kenya och genom en serie möten, workshops och fältbesök. Detta följs sedan av liknande nätverksaktiviteter i Tanzania. Mot slutet av projektet planeras en workshop i Sverige i syfte att sammanställa alla fynd från nätverksverksamheten och skriva ett forskningsförslag som bygger på detta nätverk projektresultat och samarbete.Resultaten från detta nätverksprojekt kan ge värdefull insikt om det stora problemet som den utsatta befolkningen står inför när det gäller att uppnå hållbar klimatresiliens. Detta har hög prioritet, särskilt i Afrika, eftersom klimatkrisen automatiskt innebär matkris, akut matbrist och allvarlig hälsokris som påverkar regionens socioekonomiska underhåll. De flesta delar av Afrika är redan under stress på grund av politisk instabilitet och finanskris, och klimatkrisen har potential att driva dem längre än återhämtningen. Därför är detta projekt mycket relevant för att ge svar på hur samhället kan lyftas upp från en reaktiv klimatanpassning varje gång en klimatkris inträffar till ett mer hållbart klimatfjädrande samhället. Resultaten från detta projekt genom samarbete och lika deltagande kommer att leda till ömsesidigt kunskapsutbyte.

Some insurgencies seek to replace the state and start issuing legal identity documents (e.g. ID cards or birth certificates) to the people under their control.We study this phenomenon and its wide-ranging implications by looking at three complementary cases:the Kachin Independence Organisation/Army in Myanmar (which recently started issuing ID documents);the Syrian Interim Government (which used to issue ID documents but now faces defeat);the Turkish Republic of North Cyprus (which has become an established but widely unrecognized state).We will explore what shape legal identity takes in these three contexts, what implications it has for the people affected, and how these people navigate major political shifts.Legal identity is an SDG target (16:9) and it underpins the SDGs at large. Not having a recognized legal identity can severely implicate people’s human rights and it may cause statelessness. Our project is academically relevant, because it goes to the core of unresolved tensions around theorising sovereign statehood and the authority to make law.Conceptually we develop an inter-disciplinary combination of rebel governance literature in social/political science and critical interventions in legal scholarship. Methodologically, our ethnographic fieldwork will draw on an innovative combination of political histories, personal life histories and material culture. Juridisk identitet innebär ett dokumenterat förhållande mellan en individ, lagen och staten. Juridisk identitet anses allmänt vara något som endast suveräna stater kan utfärda. Men i samband med inbördeskrig kan mer komplexa situationer uppstå. Vissa rebellrörelser som utmanar staten utvecklar system för att styra territorier och de människor de kontrollerar. Det kan handla om att utfärda juridiska identitetshandlingar (t.ex. ID-kort, pass) eller livscykeldokument (t.ex. födelsecertifikat, äktenskapshandlingar och dödsattester). Detta är nödvändigt eftersom i tider av väpnad konflikt fortsätter människor att födas, dö, gifta sig och skiljas.Juridisk identitet är relevant av många olika skäl. Mål 16:9 för hållbar utveckling syftar till att säkra "juridisk identitet för alla" fram till 2030. Men frågan om juridisk identitet är en utgångspunkt för hela SDG-agendan eftersom en person som inte har juridisk identitet kommer att få kämpa för att få tillgång till de mest grundläggande mänskliga rättigheterna. Juridisk identitet ligger därmed till grund för själva idéen om en rättighetsbaserad hållbar utveckling.Hittills har rebellrörelser och ett icke-statligt utfärdande av juridisk dokumentation inte studerats tillräckligt trots att det för med sig stora konsekvenser, både i praktiken (för de individer som bär sådana identitetshandlingar) och akademiskt (eftersom det väcker viktiga frågor om suveräna stater).Konflikter mellan stater och rebellgrupper som ger människor en juridisk identitet får ofta stora humanitära konsekvenser för de inblandade. Frånvaron av ID-handlingar kan hindra individer från att erhålla livsavgörande hjälpinsatser och innehav av ID-handlingar kan utsätta dem som är registrerade för tvångsåtgärder. Rebellrörelser kan ta ut skatter eller rekrytera soldater och människor kan hamna i statslöshet och utsatthet när framgångsrika rebellrörelser upphör att existera.Vårt projekt syftar till att studera detta fenomen genom att analysera tre fall:Kachins självständighetsorganisation/armé (KIO/A) i Myanmar;Syriska interimregeringen (SIG);Turkiska republiken Nordcypern (TRNC).I stället för att jämföra de tre fallen betraktar vi dem som kompletterande exempel på hur juridisk identitet gestaltar sig inom tre olika rebellrörelser. Det första fallet, KIO/A, är en rörelse som nyligen har börjat utfärda ID-handlingar: dessa dokument är alltså omgivna av osäkerhet. Den andra fallet, SIG, började utfärda ID-handlingar under det syriska inbördeskriget men står nu inför ett nederlag: rörelsens dokument har tappat sin makt och kan istället betraktas som bevis på samarbete med ”terrorister” av Assad-regimen. Det tredje fallet, TNRC, började utfärda ID-dokument på 1970-talet: dessa dokument har således utfärdats under lång tid på norra Cypern och går att jämföra med de dokument som utfärdas i "normala stater", men den juridiska identiteten fortsätter att undermineras av olösta konflikter och saknar ett internationell erkännande.Projektet kommer att bedriva etnografisk forskning i dessa tre kontexter för att besvara följande forskningsfrågor:I vilken utsträckning utfärdar de tre politiska enheterna olika former av juridisk identitet till de människor de försöker styra över, och vilken materiell form har den juridiska identiteten?Vilka möjligheter eller hot erbjuder en juridisk identitet dessa människor?Hur navigerar människor de förändringar som äger rum när den politiska enhetens ställning som ger ut juridisk identitet förändras på ett avgörande sätt?Vårt projekt bidrar med ny kunskap eftersom det studerar ett viktigt fenomen som ännu inte erhållit tillräcklig akademisk uppmärksamhet. Det är innovativt, eftersom det tar utgångspunkt i två akademiska discipliner: samhällsvetenskaplig forskning om rebellrörelser och vardagen för de människor som lever under deras styre, samt juridisk forskning om utmaningarna att tillämpa internationell rätt på ett sammanhang där staten (och dess lagar) är föremål för konflikter.

We contribute to reduced morbidity and mortality from cardiovascular disease through increased knowledge transfer by creating, implementing and evaluating a novel digital tool (a serious game) for cardiovascular health promotion.PROJECT ORGANISATION: Sweden: University of Skövde (public health, informatics). Nepal: Kathmandu Medical College (community medicine), Tribhuvan University & Patan Academy of Health Sciences (med. sociology). TIME PLAN & METHODS: 2021: Cross-sectional study; knowledge, attitude and practice of parents and school-children grades 6-10; Assess preparedness for digital health promotion in schools via focus group discussions and interviews. 2022-2023: Develop and pilot a serious game targeting diet and physical activity in a school setting. 2023: Health economic evaluation including measuring Health-Related Quality of Life and Cost Utility Analysis and dissemination. SIGNIFICANCE: We apply a digital tool for health promotion in schools, a new, unique approach to prevent and reduce morbidity and mortality from cardiovascular disease. This aligns well with Nepal’s plan to prevent and control non-communicable diseases. Our results can be applied in other low-income countries as well as in Sweden. The project contributes to UN sustainable development goals 3, 9 and 17. I låg- och medelinkomstländer är 80 % av dödsfallen livsstilsrelaterade – med hjärtsjukdom som den främsta dödsorsaken. En tvärvetenskaplig forskargrupp av nepalesiska och svenska forskare fokuserar därför på forskning kring hjärtsjukdom hos befolkningen i Nepal. Detta är ett högaktuellt forskningsområde som knyter an till pågående samhälls- och livsstilsförändringar.Nepal är en av de låg- och medelinkomstländer som just nu genomgår stora förändringar i sin samhällsstruktur till följd av en ökad industrialisering. Ett mer stillasittande liv och en kost med en större mängd socker och fett är nya riskfaktorer. Samtidigt är kunskapen hos befolkningen vad gäller livsstilssjukdomar och framförallt hjärtsjukdom begränsad. Detta är oroväckande då hjärtsjukdom tar många år att utveckla, men kan grundläggas redan i tidig ålder. Att även barn är i riskzonen gör det extra viktigt att tidigt öka den generella medvetenheten om vilka faktorer som bidrar till ett hälsosamt liv. Via skolan och föräldrarna kan då barnen få kunskap och stöd till en hälsosam livsstil, något som förhindrar ohälsa senare i livet.Projektet är ett samarbete mellan Högskolan i Skövde och de nepalesiska lärosätena Kathmandu Medical College, Tribhuvan University och Patan Academy of Health Sciences. Det baseras på ett ömsesidigt vetenskapligt intresse och kommer att bidra till ökad kunskap och utveckling, både i Nepal och Sverige. Det övergripande syftet med projektet är att bidra till att minska sjuk- och dödlighet i hjärtsjukdom och inriktningen är digitalt hälsofrämjande arbete, med fokus på skolelever. Denna forskningsplattform ligger väl i linje med Nepals nationella plan att öka samverkan med skolor för att förebygga och kontrollera icke-smittsamma sjukdomar, som t ex hjärt-kärlsjukdom.Planerna är att under de närmaste tre åren utföra en tvärsnittsstudie för att undersöka befintlig kunskap hos föräldrar och skolbarn. Vidare undersöks förutsättningarna för att genomföra en digital hälsofrämjande insats i olika skolor. Därefter kommer en första version av det digitala instrumentet utvecklas och provas i skolorna. Instrumentet kommer att vara i form av ett digitalt spel som används på en mobil enhet. Denna insats kommer sedan att utvärderas vad gäller effektivitet och ekonomi. Tanken är att arbetet ska leda fram till ett billigt och effektivt sätt att arbeta med digital hälsokommunikation.Förutom att bidra till hållbar hälsoutveckling i Nepal, kommer projektet ge svenska forskare en unik möjlighet att delta i forskning relaterade till andra hälsoutmaningar än i Sverige. Det kommer också skapa ett kulturellt och intellektuellt utbyte med de nepalesiska kollegorna. Svenska lärares/forskares kunskap kommer kunna bidra till utveckling av en forskarutbildning i Nepal. En sådan förekommer i dagsläget inte i organiserad form. Doktoranderna som arbetar inom detta projekt kommer genomgående att handledas gemensamt av både svenska och nepalesiska forskare, vilket också ökar det vetenskapliga utbytet och bidrar till omfattande lärande.Resultaten kommer kunna tillämpas i andra låg- och medelinkomstländer med stora befolkningsgrupper och begränsade resurser, liksom i Sverige där traditionella hälsofrämjande insatser inte nödvändigtvis når alla medborgare. Projektets inriktning knyter an till flera av de globala hållbarhetsmålen i Agenda 2030 (nr 3 – God hälsa och välbefinnande, nr 9 – Hållbar industri, innovationer och infrastruktur, nr 17 – Genomförande och globalt partnerskap).

The project will provide new data and insights into the diversity changes of vegetation from the Cretaceous when dinosaurs still roamed this continent until present day. We apply funding for joint field work, DNA analyses of plants, workshops (see AIM 3). AIM 1. Paleontological and botanical fieldwork with collection of (Jurassic and Cretaceous) plant fossils, and now extant Podocarps and Winteraceae, following an integrated workshop. AIM 2. Compile data on diversity changes of fossil flora, the now living relatives geographic distribution and genetic variability to resolve the patterns and causes of biodiversity change through time, enabling analyses of the effects of past biotic crises and of the resilience of these communities to future human-induced changes.AIM 3. To form a  medium-sized integrated research school training students in grant writing, field and lab methodology and increase awareness of local forests and wildlife and the importance of sustainable usage of resources. ETT NYTT OCH UNIKT SAMARBETE Botanister och paleontologer från Naturhistoriska riksmuseet i Stockholm och från Maharanja universitetet, Madagaskar ansöker här om medel för att arbeta detta projekt, i ett helt nytt samarbete, med fossiliserade och nulevande växter på Madagaskar. Detta förenar två olika forskningsområden och miljöer kring viktiga frågor med potential att resultera inom ett nytt forskningsområde.Den senaste utvecklingen inom analys av biologiska och paleontologiska data öppnar upp för nya, spännande möjligheter för integrativa studier rörande ursprung och utveckling av enskilda arter men även av hela ekosystem. Avgörande för framgången för denna typ av integrerade studier är samarbete mellan forskare från olika discipliner för att skapa en bred tvärvetenskaplig miljö.Vi har valt Madagaskar då denna kontinentala ö representerar unika ekosystem med stora habitatgradienter och höga berg men har under ca 80-90 miljoner års tid varit en isolerad ö omgiven av hav. Graden av endemism, dvs. andelen arter som inte finns någon annan stans på jorden, är exceptionellt hög på Madagaskar. Tyvärr är även avskogningshastigheten exceptionellt hög, varför många arter är akut hotade. Kombinationen gör att Madagaskar utgör ett av världens viktigaste så kallade biodiversitets hotspot – med unik men hotad mångfald. Kunskapen om arterna, deras utbredning och habitatkrav är dessutom dåligt känd för många grupper vilket försvårar kunskapsbaserad naturvård.Två växtlinjer som överlevde massutdöendet vid slutet av krita-perioden och som idag har levande representanter på Madagaskar är Podocarpaceae och Winteraceae. Podocarpaceae är en mycket gammal barrträdsfamilj och representeras på Madagaskar av släktet Podocarpus med 4-7 endemiska arter.

The project will provide new data and insights into the diversity changes of vegetation from the Cretaceous when dinosaurs still roamed this continent until present day. We apply funding for joint field work, DNA analyses of plants, workshops (see AIM 3). AIM 1. Paleontological and botanical fieldwork with collection of (Jurassic and Cretaceous) plant fossils, and now extant Podocarps and Winteraceae, following an integrated workshop. AIM 2. Compile data on diversity changes of fossil flora, the now living relatives geographic distribution and genetic variability to resolve the patterns and causes of biodiversity change through time, enabling analyses of the effects of past biotic crises and of the resilience of these communities to future human-induced changes.AIM 3. To form a  medium-sized integrated research school training students in grant writing, field and lab methodology and increase awareness of local forests and wildlife and the importance of sustainable usage of resources. ETT NYTT OCH UNIKT SAMARBETE Botanister och paleontologer från Naturhistoriska riksmuseet i Stockholm och från Maharanja universitetet, Madagaskar ansöker här om medel för att arbeta detta projekt, i ett helt nytt samarbete, med fossiliserade och nulevande växter på Madagaskar. Detta förenar två olika forskningsområden och miljöer kring viktiga frågor med potential att resultera inom ett nytt forskningsområde.Den senaste utvecklingen inom analys av biologiska och paleontologiska data öppnar upp för nya, spännande möjligheter för integrativa studier rörande ursprung och utveckling av enskilda arter men även av hela ekosystem. Avgörande för framgången för denna typ av integrerade studier är samarbete mellan forskare från olika discipliner för att skapa en bred tvärvetenskaplig miljö.Vi har valt Madagaskar då denna kontinentala ö representerar unika ekosystem med stora habitatgradienter och höga berg men har under ca 80-90 miljoner års tid varit en isolerad ö omgiven av hav. Graden av endemism, dvs. andelen arter som inte finns någon annan stans på jorden, är exceptionellt hög på Madagaskar. Tyvärr är även avskogningshastigheten exceptionellt hög, varför många arter är akut hotade. Kombinationen gör att Madagaskar utgör ett av världens viktigaste så kallade biodiversitets hotspot – med unik men hotad mångfald. Kunskapen om arterna, deras utbredning och habitatkrav är dessutom dåligt känd för många grupper vilket försvårar kunskapsbaserad naturvård.Två växtlinjer som överlevde massutdöendet vid slutet av krita-perioden och som idag har levande representanter på Madagaskar är Podocarpaceae och Winteraceae. Podocarpaceae är en mycket gammal barrträdsfamilj och representeras på Madagaskar av släktet Podocarpus med 4-7 endemiska arter. Winteraceae är bland de tidigt divergerande släktlinjerna för blomväxter och representeras på Madagaskar av släktet Takhtajania. Det botaniska fältarbetet kommer att fokusera på geografisk kartläggning av utbredningen samt DNA analyser av dessa växter. Botanister och paleobotanister ska arbeta tillsammans med att klarlägga ursprung och utveckling av dessa växtgrupper.Projektet kommer att bidra med nya data och insikter i mångfaldsförändringarna i vegetation från krita när dinosaurier fortfarande strömmade över denna kontinent fram till idag.

Efforts to reduce poverty, mitigate climate change and develop new sustainable methods to utilize renewable resources are greatly needed. In this project, we address the sustainable use of biomass resources, by identifying and developing microorganisms and enzymes that will be the main catalysts in valorization of abundant agroindustrial (cassava streams) and forestry (acacia bark) residues. We will explore the biodiversity in South East Asia to identify unique microorganisms and enzymes to enable the valorization. Samples will be collected from selected and isolated from ecological niches. Novel fungal species able to rapidly degrade the residues will be idnetified. We will in detail follow and characterize (using omics techniques) the degradation process to identify which enzymes are produced and active. A detailed characterization of key underexplored enzymes in biomass degradation (e.g. phenolic de-glycosylases, oxidases and LPMOs) will follow. Enzymes with unique properties (i.e. ability to act at low pH and at high temperature) will be targeted. Knowledge regarding the factors that convey acidotolerance in enzymes and microorganisms will be established. The project will accelerate capacity building among researchers in South East Asia, and transfer knowledge to benefit industries and society regarding the potential of using enzymes and filamentous fungi in valorization. Sydostasien är en av världens regioner med högst biodiversitet, vilket innebär en enorm artrikedom av växter och djur, men även mikroorganismer. Denna stora artrikedom har stor betydelse för framtidens hållbara klimat. Vårt projekt går ut på att nyttja artrikedomen i regionen och upptäcka nya sorters filamentösa svampar, för att fördjupa kunskapen kring biologisk nedbrytning av biomassa. Vi fokuserar i detta projekt på restprodukter i skogsnäringen och från storskalig bioetanolproduktion i Sydostasien. Målet är att på sikt kunna skapa värdefulla produkter ifrån dessa material som idag kasseras i enorma mängder och som en konsekvens ger föroreningsproblem. Materialen vi fokuserar på är akaciabark och rester från bioetanolindustrin där kassava (maniok). Biokemisk omvandling till produkter är en av de mest miljövänliga och hållbara metoder för förädling av biomassa och därmed värdeskapande från material som annars utgör avfall.Eftersom barken utgör det yttersta försvaret mot diverse angrepp hos ett träd, innehåller den en mängd antimikrobiella molekyler, och traditionella metoder för att t.ex. omvandla barken till bioetanol begränsas därmed. Barken bryts dock ned med tiden i naturen, vilket innebär att mikroorganismer som effektivt kan bryta ned den komplexa strukturen existerar. Bioethanolproduktionen från kassava kräver subventioneringar och de rester av kassava som erhålls skulle kunna uppgraderas till näringsrikt foder med hjälp av mikrobiell omvandlingen. Enzymer som är speciellt ägnade att bryta ner kassava kan förbättra effektiviteten i bioethanolproduktionen. Med tanke på de miljontals ton bark och kassavarester som produceras idag, skulle nya omvandlingsmetoder kunna skapa stora värden och gynna lokala industrier i regionen som på sikt kan lyfta än fler människor ur fattigdom. Workshops och nätverkande med lokala industrirepresentanter är en del av projektet, vilket kommer att leda till ökad kunskapen kring bioraffinaderikonceptet i regionen.Vi kommer i detta projekt att använda både bark och industriella kassavarester för att finna och isolera nya svampar som effektivt kan växa på de olika materialen och enzymatisk omvandla dom. Vi kommer att fokusera på mikroorganismer som kan verka vid väldigt låga pH och höga temperaturer. Genom att kartlägga hur dessa fungerar, förbättras möjligheten till att designa enzymer och mikroorganismer som kan verka vid dessa förhållanden i industriella processer. Genomen hos nya arter och stammar kommer att sekvenseras, för att lägga en grund till att förstå deras enzymatiska maskinerier som möjliggör nedbrytningen. Vi kommer även att studera genreglering över tid för att få reda på vilka gener som är viktigast under de olika stegen under nedbrytningsprocessen. Härmed ökar vi ökar vi kunskapen kring dessa naturliga processer. Eftersom det rör sig om material som idag ses som värdelösa och som produceras i enorma mängder årligen, kan projektet starkt bidra till framtida metoder som både ger nya produkter i regionen, samt minskar beroendet av fossila råvaror då biomassa bättre tas tillvara. Våra resultat kan därmed starkt bidra till minskandet av koldioxidutsläpp och andra negativa effekter som nyttjande av fossila råvaror skapar. Minskade avfallsmängder leder till minskad nedskräpninh.Projektet bygger vidare på ett framgångsrikt pågående samarbete mellan Chalmers  och Food Industries Research Institute (FIRI) i Hanoi, Vietnam. Vi har de senaste åren undersökt en mängd olika svamparter med förmåga att bryta ned växtbiomassa. Vi kommer nu att involvera forskare från grannländerna Laos och Kambodja. Båda dessa är låginkomstländer och skulle gagnas av närmare forskarkontakter med det mer utvecklade Vietnam och mer högteknologisk forskning från Sverige. Vi kommer i projektet anordna workshops och konferenser med forskare i regionen för att sprida både resultat och metoder, och ämnar därmed hjälpa till att bygga upp ett lokalt nätverk där lokala forskningsfrågor framgångsrikt kan diskuteras.

The purpose of this study is to better understand the impact of sex and gender on injury profiles, clinical characteristics, access to and acceptability of rehabilitation services in order to promote gender sensitive approaches to rehabilitation so that health outcomes are optimised for people with amputation in conflict affected environments. The aims are to: (i) investigate sex differences in demographic factors, injury profiles and clinical characteristics among people with amputation; (ii) understand the perspectives of people with amputation about access, acceptability and perceptions of rehabilitation; (iii) understand the perspectives of health workers and local leaders on how gender aspects impact access to services, service delivery and health outcomes. A retrospective data analysis will be undertaken of existing patient databases of International Committee of the Red Cross supported rehabilitation centres.  Semi-structured interviews will be conducted with people with amputation, health workers and local leaders in Ethiopia and Cambodia. Exploration of the gender dimension in rehabilitation in conflict settings is crucial as gender discrimination renders women particularly vulnerable to exclusion from services, reducing their rehabilitation potential with significant negative impact. BakgrundKönsskillnader vid rehabilitering under pågående väpnad konflikt är föga studerat. Data från Internationella rödakorskommitténs (ICRC) rehabiliteringscenter antyder att kvinnor har sämre resultat än män vid rehabilitering efter olika typer av skador och tillstånd. Det kan finnas flera förklaringar till det. Exempelvis var de flesta skadade männen i kohorten yngre, starkare och mer aktiva under det att kvinnorna var äldre, mer överviktiga och mindre rörliga. Konsekvenserna av en ofullständig rehabilitering kan bli livsavgörande och har betydelse för patienternas möjlighet att återvända till självförsörjning liksom deras psykosociala välbefinnande.

The coal-fired thermal power plants (TPP) emit particulate matter (PM), NOx, SO2 and toxic compounds with no transboundary restrictions. Chronic exposure to PM cause respiratory complications and enhance bacterial and viral infections. This poses major health risks and socioeconomic challenges to millions of people. Currently, there is a lack of reliable emissions data, difficulties exist in tracing different PM sources and distribution, and a dearth of clinical surveys from PM exposure. This delays execution of policies suited for renewable energy and community health care. The study is based near the Bangladesh-India border, where mega TPPs are one of the major sources of atmospheric PM. Our goals are 1) PM source apportionment and its impacts based on diagnostic marker compounds and receptor modeling, 2) leading epidemiological surveys, health questionnaires and low-cost biomonitoring in target groups to improve the detection and treatment of common respiratory diseases, and 3) exploring the health-related cost burden and associated socio-economic challenges to the community. Establishing the causality between TPP emissions, health risks, and cost-benefit analyses will advance the agenda for cleaner energy, better air quality, and development associated with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (No 3 and 7) towards healthy lives and sustainable energy access. De globala luftkvalitetsindexen påvisar rutinmässigt extrema luftföroreningsnivåer i Bangladesh och Indien. Energibehovet i dessa länder har ökat kraftigt och kol används eftersom det är billigt och allmänt tillgängligt. Förbränning av kol genererar stora mängder partiklar (PM10 och PM2.5), NOx, SO2 och cancerframkallande föreningar som bly, kvicksilver, och dioxiner. PM från kolförbränning följer inga nationella gränser utan transporteras som en del av det atmosfäriska cirkulationsmönstret som täcker ett stort område. Kronisk exponering och inandning av PM orsakar allvarliga andnings- och kardiovaskulära sjukdomar och ökad risk för övriga bakteriella- och virusinfektioner. Trots dessa skadliga effekter fortsätter användningen av kol i Bangladesh och Indien.Utsläpp från de kolkraftverk (TPP) som används för att generera kraft har lett till ett energi-hälso-dilemma med olika konsekvenser. Den dåliga luftkvaliteten är en av de främsta orsakerna till andningsproblem hos människor som bor runt TPP. Dessutom är de angivna hälsoriskerna baserade på epidemiologiska och kliniska studier utförs med relativa små gruper av människor eller djurmodeller och är därför osäkera. Hittills har det inte genomförts någon systematisk och integrerad bedömning av luftföroreningar och risker i den extremt förorenade och tätbefolkade Bangladesh-Indien-regionen med fokus på TPP-utsläpp med kopplingar tillhälsa och socioekonomiska effekter. I detta projekt ska vi spåra de dominerande PM källorna och testa om ett orsak-verkan-samband mellan TPP-utsläpp, PM-exponering och hälsorisker kan fastställas som en del av ett utvecklingsprojekt. Dessutom kommer en kostnads-nyttoanalys ska ge en omfattande bedömning av TPP-effekter i båda länderna. Detta kommer väsentligt att förbättra den vetenskapliga kunskapen om luftföroreningar och hur de påverkar människor. Detta projekt kommer att fungera som ett modellprojekt för att ge vetenskaplig kunskaper som bidrar till politik för att stärka folkhälsan och åstadkomma tillgång till ren energi.Vi kommer att fokusera på två mega TPP - Farakka och Kahalgaon - cirka 20 och 150 km väster om gränsen mellan Indien och Bangladesh, som bidrar väsentligt till transnationell PM-transport och exponering. De specifika syftena är: omfattande övervakning av den geografiska fördelningen av PM och atmosfärisk spridning av PM via analyser av utvalda kemiska spårämnen som bäst representerar TPP-utsläpp, och undersöka effekten av TPP på luftkvalitet och förorening. . Vi kommer att genomföra kostnadseffektiv hälsokontroller och upfölning med epidemiologiska undersökningar (inklusive hälsofrågeformulär, kliniska tester etc.) i målpopulationen för att kartlägga effekter på andningsfunktioner och testa om det finns geografiska orsakssamband med TPP-utsläpp och PM-exponering. Ett samhällsbaserat centrum som lanseras av oss kommer att vara vår kontaktpunkt för att underlätta kommunikation. Detta kommer att drivas av den vetenskapliga personalen och de personer som är associerade med projektet för att leda diskussioner i lokalsamhällena. Kunskapsutbyte och samarbetsinitiativ för att bygga förtroende, skapa medvetenhet och diskutera vetenskapliga och ekonomiskt alternativ är centrala i projektet. Detta 3-åriga projekt leds av ett team av tvärvetenskapliga experter från Bangladesh, Indien och Sverige. Att verifiera orsakssamband mellan TPP-utsläpp, hälsorisker och tillhörande socioekonomiska kostnader är centralt för prioriteringar i arbetet för renare energi och utveckling i samband med FN: s hållbara utvecklingsmål (nr 3 och 7) för att säkerställa en god folkhälsa och hållbara energisystem. Slutligen kommer detta projekt att stärka internationella forsknings- och samarbetsinsatser från Linköpings universitet i utvecklingsländer.

Our goals are 1) PM source apportionment and its impacts based on diagnostic marker compounds and receptor modeling, 2) leading epidemiological surveys, health questionnaires and low-cost biomonitoring in target groups to improve the detection and treatment of common respiratory diseases, and 3) exploring the health-related cost burden and associated socio-economic challenges to the community. Establishing the causality between TPP emissions, health risks, and cost-benefit analyses will advance the agenda for cleaner energy, better air quality, and development associated with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (No 3 and 7) towards healthy lives and sustainable energy access. De globala luftkvalitetsindexen påvisar rutinmässigt extrema luftföroreningsnivåer i Bangladesh och Indien. Energibehovet i dessa länder har ökat kraftigt och kol används eftersom det är billigt och allmänt tillgängligt. Förbränning av kol genererar stora mängder partiklar (PM10 och PM2.5), NOx, SO2 och cancerframkallande föreningar som bly, kvicksilver, och dioxiner. PM från kolförbränning följer inga nationella gränser utan transporteras som en del av det atmosfäriska cirkulationsmönstret som täcker ett stort område. Kronisk exponering och inandning av PM orsakar allvarliga andnings- och kardiovaskulära sjukdomar och ökad risk för övriga bakteriella- och virusinfektioner. Trots dessa skadliga effekter fortsätter användningen av kol i Bangladesh och Indien.Utsläpp från de kolkraftverk (TPP) som används för att generera kraft har lett till ett energi-hälso-dilemma med olika konsekvenser. Den dåliga luftkvaliteten är en av de främsta orsakerna till andningsproblem hos människor som bor runt TPP. Dessutom är de angivna hälsoriskerna baserade på epidemiologiska och kliniska studier utförs med relativa små gruper av människor eller djurmodeller och är därför osäkera. Hittills har det inte genomförts någon systematisk och integrerad bedömning av luftföroreningar och risker i den extremt förorenade och tätbefolkade Bangladesh-Indien-regionen med fokus på TPP-utsläpp med kopplingar tillhälsa och socioekonomiska effekter. I detta projekt ska vi spåra de dominerande PM källorna och testa om ett orsak-verkan-samband mellan TPP-utsläpp, PM-exponering och hälsorisker kan fastställas som en del av ett utvecklingsprojekt. Dessutom kommer en kostnads-nyttoanalys ska ge en omfattande bedömning av TPP-effekter i båda länderna. Detta kommer väsentligt att förbättra den vetenskapliga kunskapen om luftföroreningar och hur de påverkar människor. Detta projekt kommer att fungera som ett modellprojekt för att ge vetenskaplig kunskaper som bidrar till politik för att stärka folkhälsan och åstadkomma tillgång till ren energi.Vi kommer att fokusera på två mega TPP - Farakka och Kahalgaon - cirka 20 och 150 km väster om gränsen mellan Indien och Bangladesh, som bidrar väsentligt till transnationell PM-transport och exponering. De specifika syftena är: omfattande övervakning av den geografiska fördelningen av PM och atmosfärisk spridning av PM via analyser av utvalda kemiska spårämnen som bäst representerar TPP-utsläpp, och undersöka effekten av TPP på luftkvalitet och förorening. . Vi kommer att genomföra kostnadseffektiv hälsokontroller och upfölning med epidemiologiska undersökningar (inklusive hälsofrågeformulär, kliniska tester etc.) i målpopulationen för att kartlägga effekter på andningsfunktioner och testa om det finns geografiska orsakssamband med TPP-utsläpp och PM-exponering. Ett samhällsbaserat centrum som lanseras av oss kommer att vara vår kontaktpunkt för att underlätta kommunikation. Detta kommer att drivas av den vetenskapliga personalen och de personer som är associerade med projektet för att leda diskussioner i lokalsamhällena. Kunskapsutbyte och samarbetsinitiativ för att bygga förtroende, skapa medvetenhet och diskutera vetenskapliga och ekonomiskt alternativ är centrala i projektet. Detta 3-åriga projekt leds av ett team av tvärvetenskapliga experter från Bangladesh, Indien och Sverige. Att verifiera orsakssamband mellan TPP-utsläpp, hälsorisker och tillhörande socioekonomiska kostnader är centralt för prioriteringar i arbetet för renare energi och utveckling i samband med FN: s hållbara utvecklingsmål (nr 3 och 7) för att säkerställa en god folkhälsa och hållbara energisystem. Slutligen kommer detta projekt att stärka internationella forsknings- och samarbetsinsatser från Linköpings universitet i utvecklingsländer.

This will be done by providing new data on spread and diversity of antimicrobial resistant Campylobacter strains. Drivers to mitigate disease and reduce antimicrobial usage will also be generated which will facilitate future initiatives for coordinated actions to reduce spread of AMR. In LIC poultry production is important for livelihood and for food and nutrition security. Campylobacteriosis is one of the major bacterial public health risks globally and poultry meat is the most important route of transmission. In addition, AMR in Campylobacter is a growing concern. The project will be conducted among informal smallholder urban poultry and large scale commercial, and at food markets in Kampala, Uganda. Data will be generated on antibiotic usage on farm level, and farmers and food handlers’ knowledge, attitudes and practices related to spread and mitigation of AMR Campylobacter. The project contextualizes challenges with urban livestock production, AMR and antibiotic usage, and pathogenic zoonotic bacteria. It focuses on knowledge gaps related to spread of zoonotic bacteria resistant to antimicrobials at certain points in the poultry value chain. Generated results will likely be valid in other East African countries, as few studies have been published on AMR and Campylobacter in this region. Trots det senaste decenniets ekonomiska tillväxt, som har möjliggjort att miljoner fattiga människor har fått det bättre, utgör ändå tillgång på livsmedel och viktiga näringsämnen stora utmaningar i stora delar av världen. Ytterligare en global utmaning är spridning av antibiotikaresistens. Inom djurproduktionen används antibiotika för att behandla sjuka djur, men även i förebyggande och tillväxtbefrämjande syfte. I många låginkomstländer sker en betydande produktion av kött, mjölk och ägg i städer. Stadsnära djurhållning innebär stora utmaningar vad gäller spridande av antibiotikaresistens och zoonotiska sjukdomar, bland annat eftersom djuren hålls tätt tillsammans med människor och det är lätt att köpa antibiotika till djur på lokala apotek.Projektet syftar till att minska spridning av antibiotikaresistenta bakterier mellan djur och människa (så kallade zoonoser) inom djurhållning i stadsnära områden i låginkomstländer. Ytterligare ett syfte är att minska spridning av livsmedelsburna campylobacter-bakterier. Denna kombination gör projektet relevant både avseende folkhälsa, tillgång på livsmedel och generering av inkomst för fattiga familjer. Den stadsnära och ofta småskaliga kycklingproduktionen är viktig i många låginkomstländer eftersom kyckling är ett relativt billigt animaliskt livsmedel som innehåller högvärdiga proteiner. Kycklingproduktion och försäljning av kycklingprodukter är av tradition dessutom ofta kvinnans ansvar och bidrar till familjens försörjning och mat.I projektet kommer ny kunskap om hur mycket antibiotika som används inom den småskaliga och den mer storskaliga kommersiella kycklingproduktionen tas fram. Vi kommer även klargöra vilka drivkrafter som finns avseende att förhindra spridning av zoonotiska infektioner inom djurproduktion och försäljning på lokala matmarknader tas fram. Förutom detta kommer även ny kunskap om vilka olika undertyper av Campylobacter-bakterier som förekommer på kycklingprodukterna och hur olika antibiotikaresistenta Campylobacer-stammarna är besläktade genereras. Sådan kunskap är nödvändig för att kartlägga smittvägar och smittrisker, och därmed få ökad kunskap om hur campylobacterios smittar och kan förhindras.Campylobacterios utgör en betydande folkhälsorisk på global nivå, speciellt hos små barn. Klassiska symptom på sjukdomen är diarré, feber, magsmärtor. Campylobacter bakterien finns oftast hos fjäderfä, såsom kyckling och dessa utgör smittkälla i mer än 50 % av fallen av livsmedelsburen campylobacterios. Eftersom djur inte utvecklar några symptom på Campylobacter infektion kan man inte se om de är bärare av bakterien. Det finns mycket lite information kring antibiotikaresistenta Campylobacter i Östafrika, inklusive Uganda, trots att det bedöms vara en viktigt för folkhälsan (både sjukdomen campylobacterios i sig själv och antibiotikaresistens). En viktig komponent i projektet är huruvida de insamlade Campylobacter-bakterierna är resistenta för en eller flera olika antibiotika sorter som används för att behandla sjukdomar hos människor. För närvarande finns det begränsad information om förekomst av antibiotikaresistenta bakterier i animalieprodukter i Uganda och i närregionen. Projektet fokuserar på Uganda, men resultaten förväntas även gälla i andra länder i Östafrika.Projektet knyter främst an till det andra globala utvecklingsmålen om att avskaffa hunger, uppnå tryggad livsmedelsförsörjning och ett hållbart jordbruk. Nyckelkomponenter i detta är att bekämpa antibiotikaresistens, att producerar säker mat samtidigt som fattiga människor kan öka sin inkomst. På sikt kommer projektet generera ökad medvetenhet om antibiotikaresistenta campylobacter och kan komma att bidra till policy för att bekämpa antibiotikaresistens och livsmedelsburna sjukdomar i stadsnära djurproduktion i låginkomstländer.

Innovations in CHS have the potential to improve access to health and health care but also have to address the underlying problems in this system – such as fragmented management and delivery, poor integration with local health facilities, and weak community participation. Over the last decades, low and middle-income countries that have achieved the most significant gains in health status have invested heavily in the base of their health system – through primary health care and community-based strategies.The purpose of the proposed network is to enhance research capacity and competence for designing and conducting “embedded” HPSR in order to build inclusive, socially accountable and resilient CHS. The network shall have two overarching aims: 1) to create space for on-going conceptual development on community health systems from a multidisciplinary perspective 2) to build a base for future research collaborations along wider and bigger project and grant ideas. The network partners comprise of: the School of Public Health at the University of Zambia, the School of Public Health and Social Sciences, MUHAS, Tanzania, Makerere University School of Public Health, Uganda, the School of Public Health at the University of the Western Cape, South Africa and Dep of Epidemiology and Global Health, Umeå University, Sweden. Denna ansökan ligger inom området hälso- politik och systemforskning (health policy and systems research-HPSR), med ett särskilt fokus på samhällsbaserade hälsosystem (Community Health Systems-CHS). Att stärka CHS är avgörande för att säkerställa jämlikhet och allmän tillgång till hälso- och sjukvård. Innovationer inom CHS har potential att förbättra tillgången till hälso- och sjukvård genom att ta itu med underliggande problem - som fragmentering, brist på integration av innovationer i lokala hälsosystem och samhällen samt svagt lokalt engagemang. Under de senaste decennierna har man sett att de låg- och medelinkomstländer (LMIC) som varit mest framgångsrika i att förbättra folkhälsan har investerat mycket i primärvård och samhällsbaserade strategier. Vikten av att byhälsoarbetare, hälso- och sjukvårdspersonal samt andra aktörer arbetar tillsammans är tydlig i områden som mödrar-barnhälsa, malaria och HIV / AIDS-program. COVID-19 pandemin har också visat på CHS viktiga roll i att informera, nå och hjälpa sårbara individer samt underlätta surveillance.Starka forskningsnätverk är viktiga för att utveckla och genomföra forskningsprojekt mellan institutioner globalt. Sådana nätverk ökar också antalet forskare som kan utföra forskning av hög kvalitet av global hälsorelevans. Detta tjänar till att förbättra befolkningarnas hälsa och stärka forskningsinstitutionernas möjligheter att delta i beslutsfattande.Sedan 2017 har forskare från Umeå universitet och University of the Western Cape, Sydafrika träffats regelbundet för att bygga upp forskningskapacitet och samarbeten inom CHS området. Detta tre-åriga initiativ har finansierats av National Research Foundation i Sydafrika och Stiftelsen för internationalisering av högre utbildning och forskning (STINT). Under samma period har ett ResearchLink projekt finansierat av Vetenskapsrådet (VR) som inkluderar Umeå universitet och University of Zambia fokuserat på att utveckla kapacitet i rigorös realistisk utvärdering och deltagande metoder för att analysera integrationsprocessen av ungdomsvänliga strategier ämnade att stödja sexuell och reproduktiv hälsa och rättigheter inom CHS. Vi bygger nu vidare på dessa två nätverk för att tillsammans med skolorna för folkhälsa vid Makerere universitet, Uganda och Muhimbili University of Health and Allied Science (MUHAS), Tanzania  bilda en ny konstellation av institutioner som drivs av ett gemensamt intresse av forskning för att vägleda samhällsbaserade hälsosystem tillsammans med praktiker och beslutsfattareSyftet med det föreslagna närverket, CHS-Connect, är att öka forskningskapaciteten och kompetensen för att utforma och bedriva ”inbäddad” hälso- politik och systemforskning för att bygga inkluderande, socialt ansvarsfulla och flexibla samhällsbaserade hälsosystem (CHS).Nätverket har två övergripande mål:Att skapa möjligheter för konceptutveckling av forskning rörande samhällsbaserade hälsosystem ur ett tvärvetenskapligt perspektiv.Att bygga en bas för framtida forskningssamarbeten som leder till nya forskningsidéer och större samarbetsprojekt.Varje institution kommer att samla en ”kärngrupp” bestående av seniora och juniora forskare samt praktiker och beslutsfattare. Vi planerar att ha en blandning av aktiviteter som samlar dessa kärngrupper i internationella mötet och aktiviteter inom varje land. Tre internationella möten/ workshops där nätverkspartner samlas kommer att hållas. Lokaliseringen av dessa kommer att cirkulera mellan Tanzania, Uganda och Zambia för att öka lärandet om samhällsbaserade hälsosystem i olika kontexter. Mellan dessa möten kommer kärngrupperna i varje land arbeta fram forskningsprioriteringar som bygger vidare på befintliga initiativ och utnyttja sina bredare lokala nätverk. Det kommer finnas tillfälle för mindre komparativa fallstudier.

Under samma period har ett ResearchLink projekt finansierat av Vetenskapsrådet (VR) som inkluderar Umeå universitet och University of Zambia fokuserat på att utveckla kapacitet i rigorös realistisk utvärdering och deltagande metoder för att analysera integrationsprocessen av ungdomsvänliga strategier ämnade att stödja sexuell och reproduktiv hälsa och rättigheter inom CHS.

Vi planerar att ha en blandning av aktiviteter som samlar dessa kärngrupper i internationella mötet och aktiviteter inom varje land. Tre internationella möten/ workshops där nätverkspartner samlas kommer att hållas. Lokaliseringen av dessa kommer att cirkulera mellan Tanzania, Uganda och Zambia för att öka lärandet om samhällsbaserade hälsosystem i olika kontexter. Mellan dessa möten kommer kärngrupperna i varje land arbeta fram forskningsprioriteringar som bygger vidare på befintliga initiativ och utnyttja sina bredare lokala nätverk.

Sweden The Swedish Research Council The Swedish Research Council +46 8 546 44 000 vetenskapsradet@vr.se www.vr.se Box 1035, 101 38 Stockholm, Sweden Uganda Health policy and administrative management Health, General Saknas No indicator available - only a description of the activity results is published SE-0-SE-29-2020-03651_3-1 Sweden This proposal is located in the field of Health Policy and Systems Research (HPSR), with a specific focus on the strengthening of Community Health Systems (CHS). Innovations in CHS have the potential to improve access to health and health care but also have to address the underlying problems in this system – such as fragmented management and delivery, poor integration with local health facilities, and weak community participation. Over the last decades, low and middle-income countries that have achieved the most significant gains in health status have invested heavily in the base of their health system – through primary health care and community-based strategies.The purpose of the proposed network is to enhance research capacity and competence for designing and conducting “embedded” HPSR in order to build inclusive, socially accountable and resilient CHS. The network shall have two overarching aims: 1) to create space for on-going conceptual development on community health systems from a multidisciplinary perspective 2) to build a base for future research collaborations along wider and bigger project and grant ideas. The network partners comprise of: the School of Public Health at the University of Zambia, the School of Public Health and Social Sciences, MUHAS, Tanzania, Makerere University School of Public Health, Uganda, the School of Public Health at the University of the Western Cape, South Africa and Dep of Epidemiology and Global Health, Umeå University, Sweden. Denna ansökan ligger inom området hälso- politik och systemforskning (health policy and systems research-HPSR), med ett särskilt fokus på samhällsbaserade hälsosystem (Community Health Systems-CHS). Att stärka CHS är avgörande för att säkerställa jämlikhet och allmän tillgång till hälso- och sjukvård. Innovationer inom CHS har potential att förbättra tillgången till hälso- och sjukvård genom att ta itu med underliggande problem - som fragmentering, brist på integration av innovationer i lokala hälsosystem och samhällen samt svagt lokalt engagemang. Under de senaste decennierna har man sett att de låg- och medelinkomstländer (LMIC) som varit mest framgångsrika i att förbättra folkhälsan har investerat mycket i primärvård och samhällsbaserade strategier. Vikten av att byhälsoarbetare, hälso- och sjukvårdspersonal samt andra aktörer arbetar tillsammans är tydlig i områden som mödrar-barnhälsa, malaria och HIV / AIDS-program. COVID-19 pandemin har också visat på CHS viktiga roll i att informera, nå och hjälpa sårbara individer samt underlätta surveillance.Starka forskningsnätverk är viktiga för att utveckla och genomföra forskningsprojekt mellan institutioner globalt. Sådana nätverk ökar också antalet forskare som kan utföra forskning av hög kvalitet av global hälsorelevans. Detta tjänar till att förbättra befolkningarnas hälsa och stärka forskningsinstitutionernas möjligheter att delta i beslutsfattande.Sedan 2017 har forskare från Umeå universitet och University of the Western Cape, Sydafrika träffats regelbundet för att bygga upp forskningskapacitet och samarbeten inom CHS området.

The network will improve knowledge-sharing and best research practice among researchers in low-income West African researchers working on cocoa sustainability. Low yields of cocoa are limiting opportunities to improve livelihoods among smallholder farmers in West Africa, with biodiversity loss causing particular problems by resulting in pest outbreaks, diseases being spread through plantations, and pollination limitation. This is further exacerbated by soil degradation, and a lack of knowledge about how these different factors interact. Addressing these different factors requires a coordinated research effort. We aim to link researchers from diverse institutions to share knowledge, techniques and data, and to bring together research expertise from areas that cut across the themes. It will also provide a vehicle for maximising research quality, as this can be harder to achieve with isolated research programmes. Over the coming two years, this network will provide an open forum for brainstorming ideas and is particularly innovative by including cocoa farmers as partners, stakeholders and drivers of research priorities alongside researchers. It is expected to lead to collaborative applications for research, development and capacity building funding from diverse sources. Kakao är en viktig gröda globalt för framställningen av choklad.

In recent years, Mozambique has experienced several climate related environmental disasters, including the dramatic cyclone flooding in the central and northern regions of the country. In response, the government set up a Post Cyclone Idai and Kenneth Reconstruction Office to oversee reconstruction in areas affected by the two powerful cyclones.But, having recently adopted the 2030 Agenda of Sustainable Development Goals, Mozambique is identified as an emerging economy, with high potential in what concerns extractivist industry, in particular liquefied natural gas and hydrocarbons. In this project we will explore how these opposing movements and strategies are being perceived and addressed at the local level, studying how different stakeholders (governmental, aid and development agencies, activist and civic mobilizations) are participating in the discussion. We will conduct on-site case studies in regions of the country (Center, North) where the intersection of environmental disaster and extractivist project are most visible. Under de senaste åren har vi regelbundet konfronterats med miljökatastrofer skapade av människan. Samtidigt som de politiska debatterna om klimatförändringar och miljöaktivism fortsätter att växa, intensifierar regeringar och internationella organisationer sina ansträngningar för att skapa en global ram för en hållbar utveckling i syfte att uppnå "en bättre och mer hållbar framtid för alla". En viktig aspekt av denna hållbara utveckling är dess konsekvenser förmänskliga rättigheter och ekonomisk och social jämlikhet. Agenda 2030, eller FNs strategi för hållbar utveckling främjar   en minskning av fossilt bränsleberoende och ”hållbar industrialisering”. Trots att det råder ett globalt samförstånd om ratificeringen av Agenda 2030fortsätter exploateringen av fossila bränslen - en viktig källa till klimatförändringar - att växa och diversifieras och i många utvecklingsländer framstår sådan exploatering som ett löfte om en snabb ekonomisk tillväxt. I många fall utgör detta emellertid en grundläggande konflikt eftersom dessa länder samtidigt är de som riskerar att drabbas hårdast av pågående och framtida klimatförändringar. Syftet med detta projekt är att undersöka hur olika aktörer i ett utvecklingsland ser på motsättningen i att kombinera en hållbar utveckling under de kommande åren med en önskan om ekonomisk tillväxt och välstånd. Hur påverkar erfarenheter av miljörisker olika aktörers positioner?  Hur positionerar sig det lokala civilsamhället inför denna konflikt? Detta projekt analyserar dessa frågor genom en fallstudie av Moçambique, ett land som har upplevt en ökande sårbarhet när det gäller miljökatastrofer, och samtidigt framställer sig som en tillväxtekonomi grundad i en ökande exploatering av naturgas.

Focusing on mycobacterial aerosolization as a crucial step in TB transmission, we have developed a simple, point-of-care electrostatic air-sampling device, called THOR, to estimate the transmission risk posed by TB cases. Despite its widespread use in manufacturing, electrostatic air sampling for TB has not been used. Conventional air-sampling methods for TB are restricted to dedicated research settings due to the impractical equipment required.In this project proposal, we will build on previous results to optimize clinical sampling procedures and compare the device in combination with Xpert MTB/RIF Ultra with conventional air samplers in controlled clinical conditions. Finally, we will describe the association between index case aerosol sampling and transmission through a household contact study.Research will be conducted in Mozambique, South Africa and Sweden to utilise state-of-the-art tools for controlled laboratory studies and clinical research expertise in high TB incidence settings.We hope results from this project will lead to changes in the way transmission risk is evaluated by clinicians through the concurrent diagnosis of TB disease in patients and risk of household transmission amongst their contacts. Tuberkulos (TBC) är den sjukdom i världen som dödar flest människor med över 1,4 miljoner dödsfall 2018. Sjukdomen orsakas av bakterien Mycobacterium tuberculosis och är en så kallad luftburen smitta. När en person som är sjuk i TBC hostar kommer små droppar som innehåller bakterier ut i luften. Dessa droppar kan cirkulera i luften under många timmar och dropparna kan andas in av andra personer vilka då infekteras av TBC. För de flesta personer som infekteras kommer immunförsvaret att förhindra att bakterierna växer till och bakterierna lägger sig istället i en vilande fas, vilket kallas latent TBC. Under sin livstid kommer en andel av personer som smittats av TBC att utveckla symptom vilket kallas aktiv TBC. Dessa personer kan i sin tur smitta andra individer. En person med omoget eller nedsatt immunförsvar såsom små barn eller personer med HIV blir snabbare sjuka med TBC och kan insjukna med mer allvarligare former.Behandling av aktiv TBC och latent TBC är oftast mycket effektiv. Att behandla en person med aktiv TBC är livräddande och stoppar snabbt smittsamheten. Behandling av latent TBC minskar risken dramatiskt att personen senare skall utveckla aktiv TBC och således smitta andra. De diagnostiska verktyg vi har idag för att upptäcka latent TBC är tyvärr otillräckliga. Testen har begränsad möjlighet att förutsäga vilka patienter som i framtiden kommer utveckla aktiv TBC trots att upprepade tester kan tas. Dessutom kan de kräva avancerad laboratorieverksamhet. Alla tester är sämst för patienter som lever med HIV eller små barn vilka har störst risk att utveckla aktiv TBC efter smitta och snabbt kan bli mycket sjuka. För att förbättra möjligheten att upptäcka om patienter med aktiv lung-TBC hostar upp bakterier har vi har utvecklat en bärbar, billig och användarvänlig luftprovtagningsapparat. Apparaten filtrerar droppar i luften och kan på så sätt ta tillvara på bakteriematerial som finns i dropparna. Bakteriematerialet som samlas in kommer att testas med ett snabbtest för TBC som är både automatiserat, billigt och internationellt tillgängligt, sk Xpert MTB/RIF Ultra. Vi kommer utvärdera om patienter som hostar upp större mängder bakterier har en ökad risk att smitta sina familjemedlemmar med TBC.I en första studie kommer vi utvärdera det optimala sättet för apparaten att upptäcka luftburna TBC-bakterier där hosta simulerats i ett laboratorium i Sverige. I den andra studien skall vi utvärdera apparatens kapacitet då vi jämför apparaten med en redan känd metod för att detektera luftburen TBC-smitta från patienter i ett forskningscentrum i Kapstaden, Sydafrika.I den sista studien som kommer utföras i Mocambique skall vi utvärdera om patienter med luftburna TBC-bakterier i hosta har en större risk att sprida TBC till sina familjemedlemmar. Patienter med lung-TBC som deltar i studien kommer testas med apparaten för att utvärdera hur mycket bakterier som är luftburna vid hostningar. Vi kommer sedan testa alla familjemedlemmar under 5 år för aktiv och latent TBC, eftersom mindre barn främst smittas inom familjen och har samtidigt större risk att utveckla aktiv TBC. Studien kommer utvärdera om luftburna TBC-bakterier hos patienten ger en högre risk för smitta inom familjen.Vi hoppas att apparaten skall kunna hjälpa sjukvården att definiera vilka patienter som har större risk att smitta andra med TBC. Därigenom kan sjukvårdens resurser användas mer effektivt för smittspårning och behandling av latent TBC.

Why do some civil wars become more severe than others? Surprisingly, our knowledge on this pertinent question is limited. First, while previous research has identified some factors that drive the death toll upwards, our understanding of the factors that restrain escalation and depress the body count remains narrow. We emphasize both causes of escalation and restraint and explore how actor characteristics, institutions, and norms restrain actors’ use of violence. Second, earlier scholarship tends to compare the most severe civil wars to all others. In contrast, we break new ground by identifying civil wars that saw low severity despite a high risk of escalation. Comparing these cases to more severe civil wars will yield new insights on the sources of restraint in civil war. This project seeks to both build and test theory. To develop a theory of how factors interact to influence civil war severity, we will compare Sudan (Darfur) and Côte d’Ivoire, and conduct a Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA) of an intermediate number of cases. To test the theory, we will employ process tracing on cases selected from the QCA to examine temporal and spatial variation, and conduct a global statistical analysis of civil war severity. Deepening knowledge on restraint in civil war is crucial for building resilient societies and contain existing civil wars. Inbördeskrig är ett av de största hoten mot människors liv och välfärd. Syrienkriget har till exempel kostat minst 345,000 människors liv sedan 2011. De flesta inbördeskrig blir dock aldrig så allvarliga som det i Syrien. Under 2018 så pågick det inbördeskrig i 34 länder och mer än hälften av alla som dog i dessa krig dog i Syrien eller Afghanistan. Även mellan länder med liknande riskfaktorer finns skillnader. Till exempel varnade experter i såväl Elfenbenskusten som Sudan (Darfur) för att inbördeskrigen där kunde utvecklas till ”ett nytt Rwanda”. 15 år senare pågår fortfarande kriget i Darfur och konflikten har lett till mer än 300 000 dödsoffer. I Elfenbenskusten så avslutades konflikten 2011 efter att drygt 3000 människor dött. Vissa inbördeskrig leder därmed till enorma humanitära katastrofer medan andra förblir relativt småskaliga. Varför blir vissa inbördeskrig värre än andra? Förvånande nog – och trots att frågan är av högsta vikt för att rädda människoliv – så är vår kunskap rörande konfliktintensitet bristfällig. Medan tidigare forskning har fokuserat på de faktorer som eskalerar våldet så har de faktorer som begränsar våldet hittills hamnat i skymundan. Precis som forskning inom medicin fokuserar på varför vissa patienter med samma sjukdom får mer eller mindre allvarliga symptom menar vi att man måste studera vilka faktorer som gör att vissa inbördeskrig blir så mycket värre än andra. Vi har med andra ord bristande inblick i varför de flesta inbördeskrig inte eskalerar till en extrem nivå och varför många stater och rebellgrupper faktiskt begränsar sin våldsanvändning. För att råda bot på detta så är projektets teoretiska utgångspunkt att man måste fokusera på såväl orsaker till eskalering som faktorer som leder till återhållsamhet. Då forskning rörande faktorer som får aktörer att hålla tillbaka sitt våldsanvändande är väldigt eftersatt ämnar vi att utveckla ett teoretiskt ramverk som studerar orsaker till återhållsamhet relaterat till de aktörskaraktärsdrag, institutioner och normer som bidrar till att begränsa våldet. En annan brist i existerande forskning är att den oftast jämfört extremt våldsamma inbördeskrig med alla som inte eskalerar till den intensiteten. Det är olyckligt då inte alla inbördeskrig har samma potential att bli våldsamma. En viktig del av vårt projekt är att identifiera krig som inte blev så allvarliga som befarats trots att de hade en hög risk att eskalera till storskaliga krig. Genom att studera dessa fall kan vi identifiera nya faktorer som leder till återhållsamhet snarare än eskalering. Projektet består av fyra steg, där de två första stegen ämnar att utveckla ny teori medan de två senare syftar till att testa teorin. I både den teoriutvecklande och den teoritestande delen så kommer vi kombinera kvalitativ och kvantitativ metod. Det första steget består i att identifiera faktorer som begränsar våldsanvändningen genom att jämföra inbördeskriget i Darfur (Sudan) med kriget i Elfenbenskusten. I det andra steget breddar vi vårt fokus till ett större urval (ungefär 15) av inbördeskrig för att utforska hur olika faktorer samspelar. I vårt tredje steg gör vi djupdykningar i några fall för att testa huruvida vårt teoretiska ramverk kan förklara variation i konfliktintensitet över tid och mellan olika delar av konfliktdrabbade länder. Slutligen kommer vi att testa det teoretiska ramverkets allmängiltighet genom en statistisk analys av alla inbördeskrig i världen.  Fördjupad kunskap om varför vissa inbördeskrig blir så mycket värre än andra är väsentlig för beslutsfattare som vill begränsa våld och minska fattigdom. Inbördeskrig av Syriens kaliber orsakar hundratusentals dödsfall och driver miljontals människor på flykt. Samtidigt underminerar dessa krig fattigdomsbekämpning och andra utvecklingsmål. Genom att fördjupa vår förståelse för vad som driver återhållsamhet i krig kan vår forskning belysa vilka åtgärder som bäst kan bidra till att minska våldet och därmed det mänskliga lidandet.

Despite hostilities, rights defenders need to become publicly visible as a group to raise awareness, seek support for rights claims, forge alliances and attract funding. The purpose of the project is to understand how visibility strategies and visibility management shape the agency of LGBTQ rights defenders in contexts of state-sanctioned homophobia, as well as examine how development partners (un)intentionally influence visibility practices through rhetoric and funding preferences. By mapping funding patterns and conducting interviews with rights defenders at four LGBTQ organizations in Uganda and Russia, as well as analyze their visibility in digital spaces, we seek to capture the rights defenders’ understanding of visibility, visibility pressures and corresponding visibility practices. Through a theoretical framework that combines agency and political opportunity structures, the study aims to contribute to a deepened and more nuanced conceptualization of visibility and its role in empowering marginalized groups, exploring when, for whom, where and what kinds of visibility are conducive to rights struggles in repressive contexts. The study also seeks to increase development partners’ awareness about unwitting impact on rights defenders’ agency, and expand capacity to develop context appropriate methods for repressive contexts. Trots stora landvinningar de senaste decennierna vad gäller homosexuellas, bisexuellas, transpersoners och queeras (hbtq) rättigheter, finns idag tydliga tecken på en global ”backlash”. Frågor om hbtq-rättigheter polariserar och möter starkt motstånd i många kontexter, med ökat förtryck, våld och förföljelse av sexuella minoriteter som resultat. Motståndet mot hbtq-rättigheter har även blivit alltmer välorganiserat och idag finns flera välfinansierade internationella nätverk vars syfte är att stötta konservativa rörelser och hbtq-fientliga aktörer runt om i världen. I detta hårdare politiska klimat har aktivisters synlighet seglat upp som ett dilemma. Att skapa synlighet för sin rättighetskamp har historiskt varit en viktig och framgångsrik strategi för hbtq-rörelser i väst. Genom organisering av Prideparader, medieframträdanden och andra synlighetsskapande aktiviteter har aktivister lyckats öka förståelsen för och skapa stöd för sin rättighetskamp. Dessa erfarenheter har skapat en internationell modell för hbtq-aktivism som influerat rörelser i många länder. Samtidigt som synlighet har kommit att betraktas som en ofrånkomlig del av aktivism, kan ökad synlighet i en del kontexter innebära markant ökade risker för diskriminering och våld för en redan utsatt grupp.Mot denna bakgrund syftar vårt projekt till att förstå hur strategier och hantering av synlighet formar handlingsutrymmet för hbtq-aktivister i länder där staten aktivt driver och/eller stödjer homofobi. Vi vill även undersöka hur utvecklingspartners såsom statliga biståndsmyndigheter och icke-statliga rättighetsorganisationer (o)avsiktligt påverkar aktivisters synlighetspraktiker, genom deras retorik kring hbtq-frågor samt vilken typ av aktiviteter som finansieras. Studien använder en fallstudiedesign, där Uganda och Ryssland, två länder där förtrycket mot hbtq-personer har ökat betydligt under det senaste decenniet, men som också har aktiva lokala hbtq-rörelser med etablerade kontaktytor mot utvecklingspartners och internationella rättighetsorganisationer, bedöms erbjuda en rik empiri att studera och förstå dilemman kring synlighet.Studien inleds med att kartlägga hur utvecklingspartners (o)avsiktligt påverkar lokala aktivisters synlighetspraktiker i Uganda och Ryssland, genom att analysera stödet till två centrala hbtq-organisationer i varje land. Analysen inbegriper en analys av vilka typer av projekt och aktiviteter som erhållit externt ekonomiskt och annat stöd över en tioårsperiod, samt intervjuer med organisationernas fundraising-ansvariga. Analysen skapar ökad kunskap kring upplevda och reella finansieringspreferenser och hur dessa påverkar lokala aktörers förståelse av synlighet och hantering av sin synlighet. I syfte att undersöka hbtq-aktivisters handlingsutrymme kommer vi att intervjua aktivister i Uganda och Ryssland om deras syn på synlighet, dess möjligheter och potentiella risker, samt upplevelser av förväntningar kring synlighet. Dessutom kommer vi att studera hur aktivister förhåller sig till, hanterar och använder digitala medier i syfte att styra sin organisations synlighet.          Projektet sträcker sig över tre år och utförs av en forskningsgrupp av statsvetare och medie- och kommunikationsvetare med stor erfarenhet av forskning och etablerade kontakter med hbtq-organisationer i Uganda och Ryssland genom tidigare fältarbete. Projektet avser att bidra till utvecklingsstudier med en mer nyanserad förståelse av hur synlighet inte bara spelar en roll för att stärka utsatta grupper, men också när och hur det riskerar bidra till ökad utsatthet. Genom en ökad förståelse kring den problematik som finns kring synlighet, avser studien bidra till utvecklingspartners medvetande kring sin egen roll och kapacitet att utveckla aktörsnära och kontextanpassade strategier. I en tid av ökat motstånd mot hbtq-rättigheter i många delar av världen är det centralt att internationellt rättighetsarbete utvecklar policy och strategier att möta denna nya verklighet.

Studien använder en fallstudiedesign, där Uganda och Ryssland, två länder där förtrycket mot hbtq-personer har ökat betydligt under det senaste decenniet, men som också har aktiva lokala hbtq-rörelser med etablerade kontaktytor mot utvecklingspartners och internationella rättighetsorganisationer, bedöms erbjuda en rik empiri att studera och förstå dilemman kring synlighet.Studien inleds med att kartlägga hur utvecklingspartners (o)avsiktligt påverkar lokala aktivisters synlighetspraktiker i Uganda och Ryssland, genom att analysera stödet till två centrala hbtq-organisationer i varje land. Analysen inbegriper en analys av vilka typer av projekt och aktiviteter som erhållit externt ekonomiskt och annat stöd över en tioårsperiod, samt intervjuer med organisationernas fundraising-ansvariga. Analysen skapar ökad kunskap kring upplevda och reella finansieringspreferenser och hur dessa påverkar lokala aktörers förståelse av synlighet och hantering av sin synlighet. I syfte att undersöka hbtq-aktivisters handlingsutrymme kommer vi att intervjua aktivister i Uganda och Ryssland om deras syn på synlighet, dess möjligheter och potentiella risker, samt upplevelser av förväntningar kring synlighet. Dessutom kommer vi att studera hur aktivister förhåller sig till, hanterar och använder digitala medier i syfte att styra sin organisations synlighet.          Projektet sträcker sig över tre år och utförs av en forskningsgrupp av statsvetare och medie- och kommunikationsvetare med stor erfarenhet av forskning och etablerade kontakter med hbtq-organisationer i Uganda och Ryssland genom tidigare fältarbete. Projektet avser att bidra till utvecklingsstudier med en mer nyanserad förståelse av hur synlighet inte bara spelar en roll för att stärka utsatta grupper, men också när och hur det riskerar bidra till ökad utsatthet. Genom en ökad förståelse kring den problematik som finns kring synlighet, avser studien bidra till utvecklingspartners medvetande kring sin egen roll och kapacitet att utveckla aktörsnära och kontextanpassade strategier. I en tid av ökat motstånd mot hbtq-rättigheter i många delar av världen är det centralt att internationellt rättighetsarbete utvecklar policy och strategier att möta denna nya verklighet.

The dryers should, have short drying time, be produced locally and be socially accepted by the smallholder farmers in Bhutan and Nepal. Solar drying, with its potential of preserving food in an environmental friendly way, is a much needed technology since agriculture is the main source of income for approximately 65 % of the population in these countries. Today a relatively large fraction of the produced crops is ruined before it is consumed. Poor drying technique leads to mold and fungi attacks on the crops. Additionally, poor drying technique leads to low quality product that pays little on the export market. For these reasons an improved drying technique could lead to less food waste and increased revenue for the farmers due to higher market prices for the crops. However, introducing a new technology for rural farmers cannot be done in a social vacuum. Old traditions and social factors such as gender structures and food preferences are important to understand. Such underlying socio-cultural factors will be studied in this project. The project aims to develop solar drying technology co-produced with farmers rather than for the farmers by following/applying a participatory research approach. De 17 globala målen för hållbar utveckling (Sustainable Development Goals, SDGs) som antogs av FN 2015 är en samling mål som syftar till att skapa en hållbar framtid för alla. I vårt projekt fokuserar vi framförallt på fyra av dessa mål, nr 1: Ingen fattigdom, nr 2: Ingen hunger, nr 3: God hälsa och välbefinnande och nr 7: Ekonomiskt överkomlig och ren energi. Vårt projekt går ut på att med hjälp av solenergi torka grödor på ett attraktivt sätt. Detta innebär bland annat att tekniken ska vara: enkel att använda, passa in socialt och ekonomiskt samt att de torkade produkterna håller en hög kvalitet och är efterfrågade på marknaden. Fyra av de globala målen för hållbar utveckling ligger i vårt fokus:1. Ingen fattigdom; då jordbrukarna kan få ett högre pris för en vara med högre kvalitet vilket uppnås med en förbättrad torkteknik. Torkade grödor har en betydligt längre hållbarhet än färska grödor. Detta gör att produkter kan säljas till ett högre pris under den del av säsongen då grödorna annars inte är tillgängliga.2. Ingen hunger; då mängden mat som förstörs under torkning och lagring idag kan minskas med hjälp av en effektivare torkteknik. Vidare öppnas möjligheter för att torka och bruka andra typer av grödor som annars inte skulle finns tillgängliga för säsongen. Ett breddat utbud av grödor gör samhället mindre känsligt för missväxt etc.3. God hälsa och välbefinnande; då fler livsmedel finns tillgängliga under större delar av året. En effektiv torkteknik säkerställer även att vitamininnehållet i produkterna bevaras så bra som möjligt.7. Ekonomiskt överkomlig och ren energi; då solenergi används för torkprocessen. Ett annars vanligt sätt att torka mat på är att använda fossila bränslen eller biobränsle. De fossila bränslena bidrar till utsläpp av växthusgaser medan användning av biobränsle kan leda till avskogning. Att använda solens energi medför relativt små ingrepp i naturen. Vidare krävs ingen energi för konserveringen. Om exempelvis kylar och frysar används kommer detta att leda till en kraftigt ökad elanvändning. Något som medför ökade kostnader för brukarna samtidigt som det innebär negativa miljökonsekvenser.När en teknik tas fram och introduceras i en ny kontext/kultur är det viktigt att detta inte görs i ett socialt vakuum. Om tekniken inte accepteras eller passar in är sannolikheten mindre att den introduceras fullt ut. Vi avser därför att utveckla tekniken tillsammans med jordbrukare och andra intressenter. Denna typ av utveckling har en ökad chans att få en bredare acceptans i samhället. Ekonomiska villkor, genusaspekter, traditioner och matpreferenser måste undersökas och inkluderas i teknikutvecklingen.Den tekniska utvecklingen sker genom att fysiska soltorksmodeller byggs och utvärderas i laboratorium på Lunds Universitet. Parallellt med mätningarna görs även simuleringar där värmeströmning och torkhastigheter kan beräknas. Kombinationen av mätningar och simuleringar är mycket fördelaktig då den genom mätkalibrering ger relativt tillförlitliga resultat samtidigt som datorsimuleringarna ger möjlighet till diverse parameterstudier för optimering av tekniken. I ett andra skede testas och utvärderas tekniken på plats i Bhutan och Nepal. Observationer från fälttester inkluderas i en andra och tredje iteration av soltorksutvecklingen. I projektets slut genomförs ett antal moment som syftar till att sprida kunskap och teknik. Tillsammans med jordbrukarna kommer vi att arrangera visningsdagar då intressenter bjuds in för att ta del av tekniken. Bland annat kommer NGOer och skolor att inkluderas i detta.

Women living in the rural areas of Low-and Middle-Income countries are disproportionately affected by BMS induced COPD as they cook for 4-6h/day using biomass fuel. Earlier lung was considered as sterile. With emerging evidence, the presence of normal lung microbiome and its role in maintaining homeostasis as well as in disease conditions is being realized. Alteration of normal lung microbiome may predispose individuals to chronic lung diseases. Changes in microbial diversity associated with asthma, cystic fibrosis, COPD, have been shown. However, limited information is available on lung microbial dysbiosis in TBS induced COPD patients and almost no information on lung microbiome of BMS induced COPD subjects is available at present. Hence, with a multi-national team, which includes researchers, clinicians and microbiologist we aim to compare the lung microbiome from induced sputum among BMS exposed women with COPD, BMS exposed women without COPD and healthy non-BMS exposed women (n= 50/group: 2021-early 2022). Molecular microbiological techniques such as high throughput amplicon sequencing of 16S rRNA genes will be used to analyze the data (Fall 2021-Fall 2022). We will initiate two-year continuous collaborative work between Sweden, India and Germany (2021-2022) with the aim of developing joint long-term research network and project. Exponering för biomassrök orsakar utvecklande av kroniskt obstruktiv lungsjukdom (KOL) och drabbar fler människor globalt jämfört med tobaksröksexponering. Antalet som exponeras för biomassrök i hemmet utgör 3 miljarder att jämföras med 1,1 miljarder rökare globalt. Runt 50% av alla hushåll globalt och 90% av hushållen på landsbygden i låg- och medelinkomstländer använder sig av förbränning av biomassa, som sin huvudsakliga energikälla. Under 2015, orsakades 3,2 miljoner av dödsfallen i världen av KOL och utgjorde 2.6% av de globalt funktionsjusterade förlorade levnadsåren (DALYs). I nuläget utgör KOL den 3:e vanligaste dödsorsaken globalt. Runt 90 % av de som utvecklat KOL bor i låg- och medelinkomstländer. Hittills har KOL-forskning bedrivits i höginkomstländer med fokus på tobaksorsakad KOL. Det är därför påtagligt att kunskap saknas rörande KOL i allmänhet men särskilt biomass-orsakad KOL hos individer i låg- och medelinkomstländer inklusive Indien. Tidigare har man ansett att miljön i lungan är steril. Man har på senare år fått ompröva detta då man med känsligare metodik lyckats kartlägga förekomsten av lungans microorganismer, som anses ha stor betydels för att upprätthålla homeostas. Moderna molekylära mikrobiologiska tekniker (som ”high throughput amplicon sequencing of 16S rRNA genes”) har använts i ett flertal studier för att kartlägga lungans microbiota, vilka påvisat förändringar i microbiomet vid sjukdomar som astma, tobaksinducerad KOL och cystisk fibros (CF). Hos patienter med CF har man följt förändringar i microbiomet i sputum vid antibiotikaanvänding, men endast ett fåtal studier har kartlagt mikrobiomförändringar i sputum hos rökare. Det föreligger inga studier där mikrobiomet i lunga kartlagts hos patienter med biomass-orsakad KOL.Vi anser att ökad kunskap om lungans microbiom i relation till biomass-orsakad KOL utgör en viktig ingångsport för att utveckla behandlingsstrategier för denna stora sjukdomsgrupp i låg- och medelinkomstländer.

Crop production has been decimated by massive political instabilities in the post-conflict-affected areas (PCAA) of Sudan, which caused large numbers of farmers to abandon their lands. Furthermore, climate change, and biotic and abiotic stresses are significantly challenging the cropping ecosystems. Sesame is by far the largest cash crop in Sudan and can therefore play an important role in the recovery of returnees livelihoods in PCAA. However, inadequate research knowledge and lack of breeding efforts hinder the release of high yielding, good quality and highly adapted sesame cultivars in Sudan. The presence of untapped genetic variation in the Sudanese sesame landraces, adapted cultivars, breeding lines and wild relatives can be exploited for the development of superior cultivars. The main objectives of this project are 1) Participatory selection and promotion of superior genotypes; 2) Field-based phenotyping; 3) Genomic characterization and development of molecular markers; 4) Developing superior genotypes; and 5) Capacity development. The outcome of this project is to improve food and nutrition security and restore the lives of the vulnerable farmers in the PCAA. This project opens up opportunities to boost the local economy and contribute to reducing poverty locally and improving the livelihood status of vulnerable groups. Detta projekt syftar till att kombinera deltagardriven forskning, med kapacitetsbyggnad och användning av nya avancerade tekniker, utvecklade under senare år, för att förbättra sesamproduktionen i Sudan.Den politiska situationen i Sudan har under decennier av instabilitet radikalt försämrat möjligheterna till jordbruksproduktion i Sudan, vilket har fått ett stort antal jordbrukare att överge sina mark. Jordbrukarnas möjlighet till produktion har också begränsats av minskad tillgänglighet och ökade priser på insatsprodukter till jordbruket, såsom frön, gödselmedel och bevattning. För närvarande har dock den politiska situationen förbättrats dramatiskt i och med den nya revolutionen 2019. Den nya ”Övergångsregeringen” har redan initierat förhandlingar om permanent fred och stoppat pågående konflikter i hela landet, vilket innebär ett återvändande av flyktingar och internt fördrivna människor. Traditionellt är över 80% av Sudans befolkning jordbrukare, vilket innebär att jordbruk är det enda alternativet som kan säkerställa en hållbar försörjning för den återvändande befolkningen.Sesam anses vara en gröda som kan bidra till att generera inkomster till småskaliga jordbrukare i Sudan. Grödan odlas av småskaliga odlare för försäljning och kan på så sätt bidra till att upprätthålla vissa inkomster viktiga för att täcka levnadskostnader och insatser till övriga grödor som odlas för direkt konsumtion. Sesam är alltså en viktig gröda för att säkra Sudans totala livsmedelssäkerhet.Sudan har imponerande nog lyckats upprätthålla en viss export av sesam trots inbördeskrig, ogynnsamma väderförhållanden, hungersnöd, isolering och handelssanktioner. Avkastningen på sesam odlad i Sudan är dock markant lägre än för sesam odlad i andra länder och är bara en bråkdel av avkastningen på sesam odlad i omkringliggande länder i Afrika söder om Sahara. Uppnådda produktionsökningar i Sudan har helt och hållet berott på en ökning av områden där sesam odlas och inte på förbättrade sorter eller produktionsmöjligheter. På grund av brist på kapacitet och resurser bedrivs inte heller någon avancerad forskning i Sudan kopplad till en förbättring av sesamproduktionen.Det här sökta projektet kommer att bidra med 1) tillgång för småskaliga odlare till förbättrat utsäde av sesam genom en deltagardriven verksamhet; 2) deltagardriven utveckling av hållbara och effektiva metoder för sesamproduktion; 3) kompetensuppbyggnad hos småskaliga odlare genom programdeltagande för att förbättra produktionen och höja produktiviteten, vilket också resulterar i förbättrade inkomster och egenföretagande genom en integrerad utveckling av värdekedjan; 4) informella nätverk som främjar social sammanhållning genom samhällsdialog och leverans av tjänster; 5) möjligheter till engagemang för de mest utsatta grupperna tex kvinnor på landsbygden, barn, äldre och funktionshindrade. Inkluderande, deltagardrivna och konfliktkänsliga verktyg kommer att användas för att mobilisera och involvera dem i den föreslagna verksamheten. 6) ökad sesamproduktion vilket förväntas bidra starkt till att förebygga den allvarliga undernäringen som förekommer bland spädbarn, barn, gravida och ammande kvinnor i områden efter konflikt; 7) att erbjuda återvändande många fördelar, inklusive enkel jordbruksproduktion, låga produktionskostnader, säkerställd kvalitet och minimerade förluster i alla verksamheter efter skörd, samt förbättrade marknadsmöjligheter.Detta forskningsprojekt kommer att genomföras i mycket nära samarbete med aktörer från USA (USDA / SAA / ARS), och Sudan (Plant Genetic Resources Conservation Unit och The Agricultural Research Corporation (ARC)). På detta sätt samarbetar vi både med internationella specialister och med viktiga forskningsinstitutioner i Sudan. Genom upplägget på projektet och valet av samarbetspartners, förväntar vi oss att detta projekt kommer at tbidra till en substantiell förändring för småskaliga odlare i utsatt områden i Sudan.

Grödan odlas av småskaliga odlare för försäljning och kan på så sätt bidra till att upprätthålla vissa inkomster viktiga för att täcka levnadskostnader och insatser till övriga grödor som odlas för direkt konsumtion. Sesam är alltså en viktig gröda för att säkra Sudans totala livsmedelssäkerhet.Sudan har imponerande nog lyckats upprätthålla en viss export av sesam trots inbördeskrig, ogynnsamma väderförhållanden, hungersnöd, isolering och handelssanktioner. Avkastningen på sesam odlad i Sudan är dock markant lägre än för sesam odlad i andra länder och är bara en bråkdel av avkastningen på sesam odlad i omkringliggande länder i Afrika söder om Sahara. Uppnådda produktionsökningar i Sudan har helt och hållet berott på en ökning av områden där sesam odlas och inte på förbättrade sorter eller produktionsmöjligheter. På grund av brist på kapacitet och resurser bedrivs inte heller någon avancerad forskning i Sudan kopplad till en förbättring av sesamproduktionen.Det här sökta projektet kommer att bidra med 1) tillgång för småskaliga odlare till förbättrat utsäde av sesam genom en deltagardriven verksamhet; 2) deltagardriven utveckling av hållbara och effektiva metoder för sesamproduktion; 3) kompetensuppbyggnad hos småskaliga odlare genom programdeltagande för att förbättra produktionen och höja produktiviteten, vilket också resulterar i förbättrade inkomster och egenföretagande genom en integrerad utveckling av värdekedjan; 4) informella nätverk som främjar social sammanhållning genom samhällsdialog och leverans av tjänster; 5) möjligheter till engagemang för de mest utsatta grupperna tex kvinnor på landsbygden, barn, äldre och funktionshindrade. Inkluderande, deltagardrivna och konfliktkänsliga verktyg kommer att användas för att mobilisera och involvera dem i den föreslagna verksamheten. 6) ökad sesamproduktion vilket förväntas bidra starkt till att förebygga den allvarliga undernäringen som förekommer bland spädbarn, barn, gravida och ammande kvinnor i områden efter konflikt; 7) att erbjuda återvändande många fördelar, inklusive enkel jordbruksproduktion, låga produktionskostnader, säkerställd kvalitet och minimerade förluster i alla verksamheter efter skörd, samt förbättrade marknadsmöjligheter.Detta forskningsprojekt kommer att genomföras i mycket nära samarbete med aktörer från USA (USDA / SAA / ARS), och Sudan (Plant Genetic Resources Conservation Unit och The Agricultural Research Corporation (ARC)). På detta sätt samarbetar vi både med internationella specialister och med viktiga forskningsinstitutioner i Sudan. Genom upplägget på projektet och valet av samarbetspartners, förväntar vi oss att detta projekt kommer at tbidra till en substantiell förändring för småskaliga odlare i utsatt områden i Sudan.

It will do so through analyzing testimonies of Yazidi women and girls who were abducted by ISIS in northern Iraq in 2014. Our aims are to: 1) collect, map and analyse Yazidi women’s testimonies about war, 2) analyse the role of individual agency in producing knowledge regarding the gendered nature of war, 3) trace how  testimonies feed into the global knowledge of the gendered nature of war and how this knowledge is circulated, 4) theoretically advance the concept of narrative agency,  5) make a concrete contribution to policy-making and practice by developing an digital,  ethical toolbox with methodological strategies to assist and safeguard women witnesses.We will construct an archive of empirical material based on published testimonies and transcripts from extended focus groups and partial life-narrative interviews. The archive will be the basis for our narrative analysis. In the first year we will develop a conceptual framework and collect published material. In the second year we will conduct empirical fieldwork and write up results in articles. In the third year we will write up results in a monograph and produce the ethical toolbox.The project will provide new insights into the gender dimensions of knowledge production about war, which is important in order to open new avenues towards the construction of a gender-just peace. Det har sagts att vi lever i vittnesmålets era. Vittnen som berättar om övergrepp och i domstolar och sanningskommissioner har blivit en ovärderlig aspekt av våra försök att skipa rättvisa och bygga fred. Vi ser också hur media använder sig av de personliga erfarenheter och berättelser för att förmedla berättelser, och påverkansorganisationer vädjar ofta till vårt samvete genom enskilda livsöden. I takt med att kvinnors erfarenheter av krig har väckt intresse så har kvinnors vittnesmål fått ett allt större utrymme. Vår forskning undersöker vilken roll kvinnors vittnesmål spelar för hur kunskap om krig formas. Vi är intresserade av vad det är kvinnor väljer att berätta om sina erfarenheter, och vad deras syften är, hur de historier de berättar om sina egna personliga erfarenheter blir del av en global berättelse om krig. Hur skapas globala berättelser om krig, och hur påverkar dessa makroberättelser hur vi hanterar krig och bygger fred?  Finns det risk för att kvinnor som lämnar vittnesmål utnyttjas och förlorar makten över sin egen berättelse? Och hur kan kvinnor som lämnar vittnesmål stödjas på bästa sätt?Dessa frågor söker vi svar på genom en empirisk undersökning av just en av de svåraste konflikterna i vår tid: IS välde i Iraq och Syrien och specifikt det våld de utövade mot de tusentals yazidiska kvinnor och flickor som fördes bort, hölls i fångenskap, våldtogs och torterades. Hittills vet vi inte mycket om deras upplevelser. Vi söker fylla denna kunskapslucka genom att samla in deras vittnesmål, och kartlägga vad de vill förmedla och varför. Denna analys kommer bidra med en viktig pusselbit till vår kunskap om denna konflikt och i förlängningen hur fredsarbetet ska utformas för att öka kvinnors rättigheter. Det är en pusselbit som kommer läggas till vår tidigare forskning, där vi undersökt fredsprocesserna i Bosnien-Hercegovina och Rwanda utifrån ett genusperspektiv.Vi undersöker även vilka berättelser om yazidiska kvinnors krigserfarenheter som cirkulerar globalt. Genom att läsa och analysera självbiografier, dokumentärfilmer, intervjuer på webbplatser och liknande analyser vi vad det är för berättelser som väcker gehör och som används för att väcka uppmärksamhet och samla in pengar. Vi intervjuar journalister, filmskapare, biståndsorganisationer och andra aktörer, för att spåra processen genom vilken kunskap om en specifik konflikt skapas med hjälp av personliga berättelser. Vi ställer oss frågan vilken makt de individuella kvinnorna har över sitt eget narrativ och vi analyserar vilken bild av kvinnors erfarenheter generellt som möjliggörs av dessa berättelser. Vi ställer kritiska frågor kring vilka berättelser som är ’intressanta’ och vilka som osynliggörs. Hur skapas det ’perfekta offret’? Vilka upplevelser anses inte intressanta?Teoretiskt frågar vi oss hur länken mellan den personliga berättelsen och makronarrativet ser ut och söker utveckla konceptet narrativ agens för att öka förståelsen av hur kvinnors vittnesmål produceras och cirkulerar. Vi menar att ökad kunskap om kvinnors vittnesmål bidrar till att öka möjligheterna att skapa en jämställd fred. Att öka jämställdhet är av central betydelse för att minska risken för att konflikter inte återuppstår. Vi vet dessutom att krig är en av de största orsakerna till fattigdom och därmed bidrar vår forskning till ett övergripande mål om att minska fattigdomen i världen och bidra till hållbar utveckling.Avslutningsvis har projektet en praktisk komponent. Utifrån de insikter som projektet genererar ska vi utveckla en ’etisk verktygslåda’ för insamlandet av vittnesmål. Den ska utvecklas i dialog med yazidiska och andra kvinnorättsorganisationer i ett antal konfliktdrabbade länder. Den kommer innehålla handfasta råd till forskare, journalister, biståndsaktörer, aktivister och andra som använder sig av vittnesmål, och publiceras i form av en webbplats med bilder och annat relevant material.

It will contribute explicitly to the contemporary shift in peacebuilding policy towards a more contextual, human-oriented, and inclusive approach that takes into account the lessons learned regarding the long-term processes instigated by peacebuilding interventions. The project, therefore, interrogates the trajectory of peacebuilding through a historical analysis as well as a contemporary one. Our central research problem is: What, given the long trajectory of peacebuilding initiatives and their implementation, does not work and why in Cambodia and Mozambique? We focus on these two cases because there has been a curiously similar development and timing in the two cases. In both sites, we will seek to identify the provenance of the recent tensions (which are jeopardising peace and stability). Particular research questions are theoretically and conceptually driven. They focus on long-term dilemmas of peacebuilding; the dynamics of ex/inclusion; the significance of grounding peace with the population; and, the possibility of adaptive peacebuilding. Studiens huvudsakliga syfte är att undersöka två väldokumenterade och förment “framgångsrika” fall av fredsbyggande - Mocambique och Kambodja – med särskilt fokus på att identifiera svagheter och sårbarheter i hur den så kallade liberala freden har implementerats i dessa fall. Studien bidrar huvudsakligen till den samtida intellektuella strömning som betonar att fredsbyggandepolicy ska vara kontextkänslig, människoorienterad och inkluderande. Studien analyserar också tidigare (misslyckade) erfarenheter av fredsbyggande, och söker ta fram konkreta lärdomar från dessa. Genom detta tillvägagångssätt undersöker vi fredsbyggande via dess historiska utveckling fram till den nuvarande situationen. Vår primära forskningsfråga lyder som följer: Vad – sett i ljuset av fredsbyggandets långa historia – har inte fungerat, och varför, i Kambodja och Mocambique? Då de två fallen har många gemensamma nämnare passar de utmärkt för att analysera i en jämförande studie. I denna söker vi primärt redogöra för ursprunget till de spänningar som vi ser i de båda fallens samtid, och som vi anser utgör ett hot mot deras framtida fred och stabilitet. Våra specifika under-forskningsfrågor är hämtade från den teoretiska litteraturen, och de fokuserar i tur och ordning på fredsbyggandets långtidsdilemma; in/exkluderingens dynamik; vikten av att förankra fredsprocesser i lokalsamhällen, och slutligen: möjligheterna för en anpassningsbar fredsbyggandeprocess.

The core-shell junction would enhance charge separation, thus improving overall water splitting efficiency. With a bandgap of 2.0 eV, Cu 2 O could theoretically deliver a solar to hydrogen conversion efficiency of 18%. Also, semiconductor metal oxides (WO 3 , Co 3 O 4 and BiVO 4 ) will be tuned in core / shell nanostructured pn junction for solar water splitting.The Egyptian and Swedish teams will collaborate to make this joint project beneficial for both sides. Both teams will do their best to manage, exchange ideas, and transfer the technology to each other. This program will add a new avenue for such scientific collaboration between Sweden and Egypt in the field of growth, characterizations of metal oxides and their solar energy application.This project would create environmentally friendly and sustainable chemical energy fuels by solar-powered water splitting process. It will address the more and more serious environmental problems of greenhouse gas CO 2 emissions, therefore mitigating climate change. För närvarande är en av de största utmaningarna att möta energibehovet för en ständigt växande världsbefolkning. Detta projekt är en samverkande forskningsaktivitet för två institutioner [Institutionen för fysik, kemi och biologi (IFM), Linköpings universitet (LiU), Sverige och avdelningen för fast tillståndsfysik, National Research Center (NRC), Egypten] och syftar till att utveckla förnybara och hållbara energiresurser på grund av den begränsade utbudet av fossila bränslen.Väte anses vara det mest lovande alternativet till fossila bränslen för framtiden. Vattendelning under solbelysning anses vara ett miljövänligt och lovande sätt att effektivt konvertera solenergi till kemisk energi och generera väte, eftersom produktionsprocessen är enkel, praktisk och kostnadseffektiv.Omfattande studier har gjorts för att öka solenergispridningens prestanda och långsiktiga stabilitet i solvattensystemen. En kärnskalstruktur är en ny strategi för att uppnå förbättrad omvandling av sol till väte. Särskild uppmärksamhet måste ägnas tillverkningsteknologier för delade enheter i solenergi, som måste vara billiga, industrikompatibla, miljö & mänskliga och energieffektiva. Att utveckla denna teknik är viktigt för både utvecklingsländer och länder med välutvecklade ekonomier.De två parternas kompletterande expertis kommer att generera en stark synergistisk effekt som ökar värdet och kvaliteten på de förväntade resultaten. Detta samarbete ger NRC-fördelar i form av vetenskapligt utbyte, tekniköverföring och unga forskares deltagande för att göra det möjligt för dem att bygga ett internationellt nätverk i ett tidigt skede av sin karriär. NRC kommer ytterligare att dra nytta av detta samarbete genom att förbättra dess internationella synlighet och rykte i detta vetenskapliga samhälle. Dessutom kommer samarbete att stärka befintlig verksamhet inom detta forskningsområde vid LiU.De egyptiska och svenska lagen kommer att arbeta hårt och nära för att göra detta gemensamma projekt gynnsamt för båda sidor. Båda lagen kommer att göra sitt bästa för att hantera, utbyta idéer och överföra tekniken till varandra. Detta program kommer säkert att lägga till en ny väg för ett sådant vetenskapligt samarbete mellan Sverige och Egypten inom området för tillväxt, karakterisering av metalloxider och dess tillämpning för omvandling av solenergi till vätebränsle.Det har överenskommits mellan de två forskningsgrupperna att arbetsplanen för projektet kommer att delas mellan de två sidorna på ett sätt som leder till professionellt och framgångsrikt slutförande av projektet. Oxidkärnlagren kommer att beredas vid NRC Egypten, medan förberedda material kommer att finnas i båda sidors laboratorier på ett sätt som utnyttjar styrkorna i varje grupps imponerande anläggningar. PEC-enheterna kommer att färdigställas och testas på LiU, Sverige.Projektet syftar direkt till att skapa miljövänliga och hållbara kemiska energibränslen genom en solenergidriven vattendelningsprocess. Den kommer att ta itu med de mer och mer allvarliga miljöproblem som är förknippade med växthusgasutsläpp från förbränning av fossilt bränsle och därmed minska klimatförändringarna.

Dessutom kommer samarbete att stärka befintlig verksamhet inom detta forskningsområde vid LiU.De egyptiska och svenska lagen kommer att arbeta hårt och nära för att göra detta gemensamma projekt gynnsamt för båda sidor. Båda lagen kommer att göra sitt bästa för att hantera, utbyta idéer och överföra tekniken till varandra. Detta program kommer säkert att lägga till en ny väg för ett sådant vetenskapligt samarbete mellan Sverige och Egypten inom området för tillväxt, karakterisering av metalloxider och dess tillämpning för omvandling av solenergi till vätebränsle.Det har överenskommits mellan de två forskningsgrupperna att arbetsplanen för projektet kommer att delas mellan de två sidorna på ett sätt som leder till professionellt och framgångsrikt slutförande av projektet. Oxidkärnlagren kommer att beredas vid NRC Egypten, medan förberedda material kommer att finnas i båda sidors laboratorier på ett sätt som utnyttjar styrkorna i varje grupps imponerande anläggningar. PEC-enheterna kommer att färdigställas och testas på LiU, Sverige.Projektet syftar direkt till att skapa miljövänliga och hållbara kemiska energibränslen genom en solenergidriven vattendelningsprocess. Den kommer att ta itu med de mer och mer allvarliga miljöproblem som är förknippade med växthusgasutsläpp från förbränning av fossilt bränsle och därmed minska klimatförändringarna.

Cassava (Manihot esculenta) is the most important tropical root crop in the world. Its starchy roots are a major source of dietary energy for more than 500 million people in subtropics area which is rapidly increasing in population. Several studies have attributed to cassava the ability to grow under hostile and dry conditions; this resilience makes cassava an excellent crop to face climate change, however, its yield variability causes a significant reduction in production yield.Plants as sessile organisms developed mechanisms to rapidly adjust to environmental stresses. One mechanism is the epigenetic regulation (DNA methylation) of molecular reactions to cope with stress. Therefore, growth variability and adaptability partially depend on environment dependent spontaneous DNA methylation events which are maintained in farmers field due to the clonal propagation of the planting material.  In this study we want to investigate how epigenetic influences two fundamental traits affecting yield and consequently the farmers productivity and income: storage root mass and tolerance to Cassava Mosaic Disease (CMD). We have been studying cassava at the molecular and physiological levels for 5 years learning that controlling better these traits might have a high potential to directly increase smallholder farmers’ productivity. Cassava är en rotfrukt som har en stor potential att hjälpa mänskligheten att uppnå minst tre av de 17 FN:s målen för hållbar utveckling: ”Ingen fattigdom”, ”Noll hunger” och ”God hälsa och välbefinnande”. Cassava (Manihot esculenta) är en halvbuske inom familjen törelväxter, vars rotknölar är ett av jordens viktigaste baslivsmedel. Dess stärkelsefulla rötter är en viktig källa till energirik föda för mer än 500 miljoner människor i subtropiska områden där befolkningen ökar snabbt. Flera studier har tillskrivit cassava förmågan att växa under fientliga och torra jordförhållanden; denna motståndskraft gör kassava till en utmärkt gröda för att möta klimatförändringar, men dess avkastningsvariabilitet orsakar en betydande minskning av produktionsutbytet.Växter som stationära organismer har utvecklat speciella mekanismer för att snabbt kunna anpassa sig till olika miljöförändringar. En av dessa mekanismer är epigenetisk reglering (DNA-metylering) av genregleringsmekanismer som är nödvändiga för att kunna hantera olika stressituationer. Tillväxtvariabilitet och anpassningsförmåga beror bland annat på miljöberoende spontana DNA-metyleringshändelser som sedan permanentas i jordbruksfält genom klonutbredningen av växtmaterialet.I den här studien vill vi undersöka hur epigenetisk faktorer påverkar två grundläggande egenskaper som påverkar avkastningen och därmed jordbrukarnas produktivitet och inkomst: a) lagringsrotmassa och b) tolerans mot Cassava Mosaic Disease (CMD) orsakad av ett mosaikvirus. Vi har under fem år studerat cassava på molekylära och fysiologiska nivåer och vi har lärt oss att om vi lyckas bemästra dessa egenskaper kommer den nyvunna kunskapen att ha en stor påverkan i småbrukarnas ökade produktivitet.

Sixteen male parents will be crossed with one female Mchare (tester). Twenty-five offspring from each family together with their parents will be planted in a field at IITA station – Arusha, Tanzania. These will be evaluated for performance according to the Mchare product profile traits. The data will be collected for two cycles using field book and sent directly to Musabase for storage and sharing. Selection index for each individual will be calculated. Average selection index, which is a proxy for the breeding value, will be determined for all the individuals in the same family. This will be used to rank male parents.

The genomic estimated breeding value of each individual genotype will be determined using BayesB model and this will enable genomic selection. Bananer (även kallade dessertbananer) och matbananer är viktiga grödor för mat och ekonomi för miljoner av subsistensjordbrukare i utvecklingsländer. I Östafrika odlas i huvudsak två typer av matbananer; den östafrikanska höglandsbananen (EAHB-AAA) och ’Mchare’ banaer (AA). Dessa två typer av matbananer kan gemensamt kallas för östafrikanska matbananer (EACBs). Dessertbananer (Gros-Michel och Cavendish) delar samma AA genom som ’Mchare’, och därför kan framsteg i forskning på ’Mchare’ även gynna dessertbananer. Östafrikanska matbananer är basföda för över 13 miljoner människor i områdena kring Afrikas stora sjöar vilket inkluderar länder som Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania, Rwanda, Burundi och den östra delen av den demokratiska republiken Kongo. ’Mchare’ frukten kokas ofta medan den är grön innan konsumtion. Trots att bananen är viktig i regionen, har produktionen av den minskat sedan 1970-talet. Sjukdomar och skadegörare är de huvudsakliga skälen till den minskade odlingen av bananer. De viktigaste skadegörarna för bananer är bananviveln och nematoder; och de viktigaste sjukdomarna är: fusarios eller panamasjukan, svampsjukdomen black sigatoka (black leaf streak) och bakteriell nedvissning (banana bacterial wilt). Den hållbara lösningen för ovan nämnda odlingsbegränsningar är förädling för resistens hos värdväxten. Korsförädling för förbättring av bananer är dock mycket långsam, då det tar cirka två decennier från korsning tills det att en ny sort kan marknadsföras. Ett av de svåraste åtagandena en förädlare har är att välja rätt föräldrar  att inkludera i sitt förädlingsprogram. Det främsta målet med forskningsprojektet är att bestämma förädlingsvärden för hanföräldrar som används som hanföräldrar för bananförädling på det internationella institutet för tropiskt jordbruk (IITA) i Tanzania. Syftet är att identifiera hanföräldrar med de högsta förädlingsvärdena och att använda dessa i korsningar med högre chanser att alstra ’Mchare’ hybrider med hög avkastning, resistens mot skadedjur och sjukdomar och som kan accepteras av jordbrukare. Sexton hanföräldrar kommer att korsas med en hon-’Mchare’ (tester). Tjugofem avkommor från varje familj kommer att tillsammans med sina föräldrar planteras på IITAs fältstationer, i Arusha, Tanzania.Dessa kommer att utvärderas för hur de presterar jämfört med egenskaper i ’Mchare’s profil. Data från projektet samlas in under två cykler med hjälp av en fälthandbok som skickas direkt till en databas (Musabase) för förvaring. Ett selektionsindex kommer att beräknas för varje individ. Ett medelselektionsindex bestäms för alla individer inom samma familj. Hanföräldrar kommer att rangordnas baserat på medelselektionsindexet för sina avkommor, vilket är en uppskattning av förädlingsvärdet. Den bästa linjära opartiska prediktorn (BLUE) med en begränsad maximal sannolikhetsmodell (REML) kommer att användas för att beräkna varianskomponenter och det genotypiska värdet för varje egenskap. DNA från avkommorna kommer att extraheras på laboratorium på Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet (SLU) i Alnarp och genotypdata samlas in genom en diversitets array teknologi (DArT). Genomiskt uppskattade förädlingsvärden (GEBV) för varje individs genotyp bestäms genom BayesB modellen vilket gör genomisk selektion möjlig. Allt fältarbete kommer att genomföras i Tanzania i omkring trettio månader, och det genomiska arbetet kommer att utföras i Sverige i cirka sex månader. Resultaten från detta projekt bidrar till att uppfylla målen för hållbar utveckling 1, 2 och 12 i Agenda 2030, som handlar om att få slut på fattigdom i alla former överallt, utrota hunger samt en ansvarsfull konsumtion och produktion. Detta är också i linje med Sveriges internationella utvecklingssamarbetesmål vilka vill bidra till skapandet av förutsättningar för bättre levnadsvillkor för människor som lever i fattigdom och förtryck.

Den bästa linjära opartiska prediktorn (BLUE) med en begränsad maximal sannolikhetsmodell (REML) kommer att användas för att beräkna varianskomponenter och det genotypiska värdet för varje egenskap. DNA från avkommorna kommer att extraheras på laboratorium på Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet (SLU) i Alnarp och genotypdata samlas in genom en diversitets array teknologi (DArT). Genomiskt uppskattade förädlingsvärden (GEBV) för varje individs genotyp bestäms genom BayesB modellen vilket gör genomisk selektion möjlig. Allt fältarbete kommer att genomföras i Tanzania i omkring trettio månader, och det genomiska arbetet kommer att utföras i Sverige i cirka sex månader. Resultaten från detta projekt bidrar till att uppfylla målen för hållbar utveckling 1, 2 och 12 i Agenda 2030, som handlar om att få slut på fattigdom i alla former överallt, utrota hunger samt en ansvarsfull konsumtion och produktion. Detta är också i linje med Sveriges internationella utvecklingssamarbetesmål vilka vill bidra till skapandet av förutsättningar för bättre levnadsvillkor för människor som lever i fattigdom och förtryck.

Globalt levererar fisket viktiga mikronäringsämnen till 4,5 miljarder konsumenter. Förväntade klimatförändringar kommer sannolikt att leda till en minskning av den tropiska marina fiskproduktionen och biomassan och till en ökning vid högre breddgrader med ett parallellt mönster i maximal fiskefångstpotential. De starkaste effekterna av denna förändring på människor, genom förändrad mängd och sammansättning av fiskefångst, kommer att återfinnas i Afrika, Sydostasien och små önationer under utveckling (Small Island Developing States, SIDS). Dessa regioner är mycket starkt beroende av fisk och även mycket sårbara för undernäring av mikronäringsämnen.  Det finns ett stort behov av ny kunskap för att klimatsäkra flödet av näring från småskaligt fiske i Stillahavsregionen och Afrika.

In South Africa 40% of maternal deaths are associated with anemia. Majority of adolescent girls who become pregnant have underlying depleted nutritional reserves. The World Health Organization has recommended preconception anemia care with micronutrients supplementation. Evidence is lacking on the feasibility, acceptability, use, effectiveness and health system impact of preconception anemia care in low-income settings despites being a beneficial strategy. Objectives: To establish and evaluate a pilot research on prevention of maternal anemia through preconception anemia care with the aim of reducing maternal and newborn mortality in low-income countries. Specifically, to determine the feasibility, acceptability, use, effectiveness and health system impact of preconception anemia care for young women in low-income settings.Methodology: After a baseline assessment the preconception anemia care will be set up with a minimum package for preconception care as health education and counsellinig. Quantitative and qualitative research methodologies will measue its effects; patient exit interviews, key informant interviews of health workers and leaders, in-depth interviews with patients and health workers, focus group discussions with women and clinical record abstraction.  The members of this network will participate in data collection, evaluation and dissemination. Bakgrund: Blodbrist (anemi) är en av de underliggande orsakerna till mödradödlighet i låginkomstländer. I Uganda har förekomsten av anemi stigit bland kvinnor i reproduktiv ålder från 23% år 2011 till 32% år 2016. I Sydafrika beräknas 40 % av mödradödsfallen vara relaterade till anemi. Dessutom, i Uganda, har majoriteten av unga flickorna som blir gravida näringsbrist inklusive brist på järn och folat eller båda. Som lösning har Världshälsoorganisationen rekommenderat anemi vård med tillskott av mikronäringsämnen som initieras minst 6 månader före eventuell graviditet. Det saknas emellertid fortfarande forskning om anemi preventions programs genomförbarhet, accepterande, användning, effektivitet och dess hälsoeffekter i låginkomstmiljöer, trots att det borde vara en fördelaktig strategi. Mål: Syftet med med nätverket är att genomföra en interventions pilot undersökning om förebyggande av mödra anemi genom systematiska förebyggande och vårdande insatser av blivande mödrar i ett låginkomstland, med fokus på Uganda och med synergi effekt till Sydafrika. Specifikt önskar vi belysa genomförbarheten, accepterandet, användningen, effektiviteten och hälsoeffekter av en förebyggande anemi intervention för unga kvinnor i norra Uganda.Metod: Nätverket kommer att genomföra en pilotstudie i Uganda med synergier i Sydafrika genom att involvera erfarna forskare som tidigare samverkat inom forskning om mödrahälsovård i låginkomst länder.

Forskningsprocess: Nätverket kommer att utveckla ett specifikt utvärderings protokoll redan från start och ansökan om samt erhålla etiska tillstånd. För att mäta och belysa hur det var innan projektet startade, samt att följa programmet och dess resultat så kommer både kvantitativa och kvalitativa forskningsmetoder att användas; frågeformulär, patient intervjuer, intervjuer av hälso- och sjukvårdspersonal och ledare, djupintervjuer med patienter och hälso- och anställda, fokusgruppsdiskussioner med kvinnor. Sammanhang: Interventionen består av ett minimun paket för tidig/före-graviditets vård bestående av bl a hälso utbilnding (sexuell hälsa, nutritions information mm), hälso screening (nutritions bedömning, lab tester som blodvärde/Hb mm), rådgivning (nutition, ärftlighet, t e x sickel-cells anemi), hälsofrämjande insatser (tillägg av järn och mineraler vid brist, mat, hjälp med avmaskning mm) samt uppföljnings schema. Interventionen kommer att inrättas konfidentiellt i vårdkliniken vid Lira University Teaching Hospital, Lira, norra Uganda och samordnas av Fakulteten för hälsovetenskaper. I denna pilot studie kommer 520 kvinnor under en ett års period att inkluderas och följas upp.     Enligt implementeringsplanen kommer nätverks teamet att besöka Lira University i Uganda för att ge råd om förbättring av kvalitet och delta i datainsamlingen av de forskningsstudier som kommer mäta interventionens acceptans mm hos kvinnor samt vårdpersonal mfl samt medverka i mitt- respektive slut utvärderingarna.

The aetiologic agent, chikungunya virus (CHIKV) is transmitted by mosquitos of the Aedesgenus and is prevalent in tropical regions. Although mortality is low (approximately 0.1%), the burden of disease in low- and middle-income countries is high: The virus is endemic in the majority of the countries on the DAC list of low-income countries. Currently, no vaccine or antiviral treatments are available. In this proposal we plan to explore two promising strategies to develop low-cost, scalable interventions to treat this disease. Our first aim is to use the combined expertise of the McInerney and Tomar groups to identify and develop compound(s) that target an essential and conserved alphavirus interaction with host molecules. Our research has identified an Achilles’ heel of the Old-World alphaviruses and our recent data suggests that targeting this complex is feasible and expected to be broadly anti-alphaviral. In a second approach, we propose to develop, screen and test, camelid-derived single domain antibody fragments against the CHIKV spike complex and test them in a virus replication inhibition assays in vitro and in a mouse model for alphavirus disease. Although both approaches are at the experimental stage, both represent potentially low cost and very scalable strategies to combat chikungunya fever in low income countries. Alfavirusen är en virusgrupp som har orsakat ett antal allvarliga sjukdomar hos miljontals människor under de senaste decennierna. Virusen överförs av myggor i världens tropiska regioner, inklusive Syd- och Centralamerika, Subsahariska Afrika, indiska subkontinenten och Sydostasien. Många av de berörda länderna är låginkomstländer med redan överbelastade hälsovårdssystem. Ett särskilt viktigt exempel är chikungunya virus, orsakssambandet till chikungunya feber, som kännetecknas av symtom som svår ledsmärta, feber, utslag och artrit. De flesta infekterade individer återhämtar sig, men i vissa fall kan smärta vara kvar i flera månader eller till och med år, så effekterna av utbrott på arbetssamhällen kan vara förödande.För närvarande har inga antivirala terapier eller vacciner godkänts för alfavirusinfektion, vilket tyder på det nödvändiga behovet av mer grundforskning om virusfamiljen såväl som målinriktad utveckling av antivirala läkemedel. Nuvarande kontrollåtgärder med inriktning på att hämma myggöverföring och behandling av patienter är begränsade till lättnad av symtom. Framsteg i utvecklingen av antivirala läkemedel för dessa infektioner har varit långsam av flera orsaker. Eftersom tidpunkten och platserna för virusutbrott är oförutsägbara och att de tenderar att förekomma i länder och regioner med begränsade resurser har intresset från läkemedelsföretag varit begränsat. Hämmande utveckling av terapier är också bristen på strukturella data på det virala replikationskomplexet och interaktioner med värdcellproteiner.Ny forskning från McInerney-laboratoriet vid Karolinska Institutet har identifierat en svaghet i tillväxtmekanismerna hos alfavirus som vi föreslår kan utnyttjas för att utveckla en eller flera molekyler som kan hämna infektionen och bota infekterade patienter. Virusproteinet nsP3 binds till ett cellulärt protein som heter G3BP och använder det i replikationen av virala genomerna. Utan denna interaktion kan viruset inte föröka sig. Tillsammans med Tomar-laboratoriet vid Indiska Tekniska Institutet föreslår vi att använda rationella strukturbaserade metoder för att utforma läkemedel som skulle hämna viral replikation genom att blockera viral proteininteraktion med värdcellproteinet G3BP. Vi förväntar oss att sådana läkemedel skulle verka för att blockera infektion med chikungunyavirus och de andra i alfavirusgruppen. De bäst fungerande molekyler kommer att användas som mallar för att designa förbättringar i en andra generation av molekyler.Alpackor har ett väldigt speciellt immunsystem där de har antikroppar som är mycket mindre än dom konventionella antikroppar som andra däggdjur har. De är snabbare att ta fram och enklare att jobba med. Och mest viktigt, eftersom de är så pass mindre, så kan de binda till olika strukturer på viruspartikeln och på detta sätt hindra viruset. Vi kommer ta fram en mängd olika alpackaantikroppar och testa de för förmågan att hindra chikungunya viruset för att komma in i cellen och föröka sig.En anti-alfaviralt läkemedel skulle vara en enorm fördel för global hälsa, särskilt i regioner med låginkomst. Vår forskning har gett oss en stor fördel i jakten på en specifik, potent och säker behandling.

These can be acute or severe malaria and asymptomatic disease. The immunological mechanism(s) underpinning these different fates is unknown. Recent experiments have established that T lymphocytes are critical in shaping the protective immune response. However, they remain unexplored within malaria infections in field settings partly due to the limitations of previous methods. The recent upsurge in sequencing technologies combined with the ability to capture and measure entire sets of expressed genes have enhanced our capability to understand the functional roles of genes in complex biological processes. These techniques, referred to as RNA sequencing (RNAseq) can now be applied to population of cells (bulk-RNAseq) and individual cells (scRNA-seq).Using both techniques we will profile T cells from humans infected by malaria in endemic regions. We will investigate clinical and asymptomatic infections arising from the most virulent species, Plasmodium falciparum, to understand the basis for clinical immunity. To this end we will simultaneously acquire other measurements that are critical in determining response (e.g. antibody profiles) and use an integrated approach to gain a holistic understanding of the complex process. These results will advance our understanding and may motivate rational approaches for designing drugs and vaccines against malaria.

Coinfection with intestinal helminthic parasites can prevent an efficient TB-protection by suppressing bactericidal functions in macrophages (MQ), triggering progression from latent to active TB disease. Our previous results indicate that nutritional deficiencies in the nitric oxide (NO) and glutathione axis may contribute to poor control of mycobacteria by human MQ. Using a translational approach combining clinical TB studies (Ethiopia) with ex vivo infection experiments we will determine if L-citrulline administration can revert the effect of chronic helminth infection in MQ by switching them from their immunosuppressed regulatory M2 phenotype to a proinflammatory M1 phenotype and simultaneously trigger enhanced NO production, to achieve better host control of mycobacteria. Modalities affecting macrophage activation will be studied in individuals with latent and active TB with/without concurrent helminth infection, before and after deworming. Our research will answer if adjunctive immune boosting therapies that strengthens and activates macrophages can expedite current anti-TB treatment, and whether interventions like deworming could be beneficial on large scale for individuals living in low resource areas. En fjärdedel av världens befolkning är infekterad med Mycobacterium tuberculosis, vilket orsakar 1,5 miljoner dödsfall årligen i lungsjukdomen tuberkulos (TB). Något effektivt vaccin finns inte. Behandling av tuberkulos är besvärlig, innebär en kombination av flera läkemedel i minst 6 månader och har lett till en alarmerande andel av läkemedelsresistenta tuberkelbakterier. Risken att utveckla aktiv tuberkulos ökar genom saminfektion med HIV samt mask. Saminfektion med mask, minskar vårt immunologiska skydd mot TB genom att trycka ned bakterieavdödande funktioner i makrofager (den primära värdcellen för tuberkelbakterier). Våra resultat tyder på att den försämrade kontrollen av tuberkelbakterier beror på en bristande kväveoxidproduktion i lungans makrofager. Maskinfektion minskar också det proinflammatoriska svaret i makrofagerna, gör dem mer antiinflammatoriska och minskar deras förmåga att reglera oxidativ stress. Det faktum att några av de viktigaste läkemedlen mot TB endast har full effekt i samband med aktiva värdcellsmekanismer i makrofager, gör det önskvärt att aktivera och stärka dessa celler. Om immunsvaret hos infekterade individer stärks, kan vi uppnå en synergistisk effekt som påskyndar behandling och minskar risken för läkemedelsresistens som är ett växande hot.Vi föreslår därför tilläggsbehandlingar som aktiverar makrofager och kan fungera tillsammans med befintliga anti-TB kemoterapeutiska läkemedel för att på så sätt effektivisera rådande behandling. Tilläggsbehandlingen innebär i detta fall en kombination av naturliga glutation- och L-arginingenerande substanser som tillsammans ”räddar” makrofager från det mask-inducerade hämmade tillståndet och därigenom leder till en ökad kontroll av tuberkelbakterierna. Forskningen består dels av mekanistiska studier för att förstå värdcellsvaret och kliniska studier i Etiopien där det immunologiska svaret hos mask/TB saminfekterade patienter studeras innan och efter avmaskning så att immuncellstatus och makrofagaktivering kan följas under de olika faserna av behandlingen.Detta är ett translationellt globalhälsorelaterat forskningsprojekt som länkar samman infektionsimmunologi från kliniska studier med grundläggande forskning för att hitta terapeutiska lösningar som påskyndar behandling av TB och skyddar dem i riskzonen för att utveckla aktiv sjukdom. TB är smittsamt och associerat med en avsevärd dödlighet i utsatta befolkningsgrupper i fattiga områden i världen. Avmaskning är en relativt enkel och billig åtgärd i fattiga områden där maskinfektion och TB är mycket utbrett. Om avmaskning visas gynnsamt kan detta utföras storskaligt för att förhindra TB i högendemiska områden samt för att förbättra den allmänna hälsostatusen eftersom maskinfektion har korrelerats till ett försämrat allmäntillstånd hos skolbarn.

Improving crop yields under dry conditions will be crucial for food security as dry environments and seasons become even drier with climate change. Different species and cultivars show a large variation in water use and drought tolerance. Our current understanding of the underlying genetic variation is limited. Traditionally, selection for higher yields have often resulted in increased water use. However, recent breeding efforts demonstrate that water economy and drought tolerance can be improved without adverse effects on yield. We will study the variation in traits related to water use and drought tolerance among Rwandan landraces of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) and identify underlying genetic components. The aim is to expand our basic understanding of the genetic control of water economy and drought tolerance in higher plants and eventually use this information for breeding more productive crops for East African conditions. Field experiments will be combined with molecular genetic methods to study a wide range of traits related to water economy and drought tolerance. Bean is the main source of protein in Rwanda. Higher yields in dry periods would significantly improve the food security of local farmers. The project is carried out in collaboration with the University of Rwanda and Rwanda Agriculture and Animal Resources Development Board, ensuring capacity building in modern crop breeding. All växtodling är beroende av vatten och globalt sett är vattentillgång en av de absolut mest begränsande faktorerna för jordbruksproduktion. Växter förlorar vatten till atmosfären då klyvöppningarna öppnas för att släppa in koldioxid till fotosyntesen. Graden av öppning är en avvägning mellan hur mycket vatten växten har råd att förlora och hur mycket koldioxid fotosyntesen använder. Olika arter och sorter är olika bra på att hushålla med vatten och reagerar på olika sätt när de utsätts för torka. Dessa egenskaper har man dock inte tagit särskilt mycket hänsyn till i modern växtförädling. Man har istället prioriterat hög avkastning och förbättring av andra egenskaper. Förädling för ökad skörd har istället snarare resulterat i att grödor använder mer och mer vatten. Vi vet att genetisk variation ligger bakom mycket av skillnaderna i växters vattenanvändning och torktålighet men det finns inte mycket kunskap om exakt hur dessa egenskaper kontrolleras och vilka gener som är inblandade. Här finns alltså en stor potential för dels en ökad kunskap om en central del av alla växters liv och dels en stor förbättring av produktiviteten hos dagens grödor under torra förhållanden. Ett exempel på det senare är att man relativt nyligen förädlat vetesorter med fokus på förbättrad vattenhushållning, vilket lett till avsevärt bättre avkastning under torra perioder. I det här projektet vill vi undersöka vilka skillnader som finns i vattenanvändning och torktålighet bland olika bönsorter och hur dessa egenskaper styrs genetiskt. Vi kommer att använda oss av traditionella bönsorter från Rwanda. Trots att Rwanda är ett litet land, till ytan mindre än Småland, finns en stor variation i odlingsförhållanden mellan olika regioner och därmed en stor odlad mångfald. Efter att ha kartlagt variationen väljer vi ut åtta olika sorter som skiljer sig med avseende på vattenanvändning och torktålighet. Dessa sorter korsas med varandra enligt ett särskilt schema för att skapa en population som gör det möjligt att kartlägga den genetiska regleringen av vattenanvändning och torktålighet. Målet är att identifiera genetiska varianter som ger en bättre avkastning under torra förhållanden och kan användas i förädlingsarbete. Bönor odlas i stor utsträckning i självförsörjningsjordbruk i Rwanda och andra afrikanska länder och är den viktigaste källan till protein för de allra flesta rwandier. Bönor som ger säkrare avkastning under torra förhållanden skulle direkt bidra till att öka livsmedelssäkerheten och förbättra fattiga jordbrukares ekonomi i Rwanda. Även om resultaten först kommer att användas i Rwanda så har de betydelse för en stor del av Östafrika. Dessutom kommer informationen om den genetiska regleringen av växters vattenekonomi som genereras i projektet att föra kunskapsläget framåt mer generellt och kunna användas för klimatsäkring av grödor i övriga delar av världen. Projektet kommer att genomföras i samarbete mellan forskare vid Göteborgs universitet och University of Rwanda. Det innebär en fortsättning på och utökning av ett redan etablerat samarbete mellan dessa två universitet. Dessutom kommer växtförädlare från Rwandas jordbruksmyndighet med specialistkunskaper inom förädling av bönor att ha en aktiv roll i projektet.

UHC is defined as a situation where all people have access to the health services they need, when and where they need them, without financial hardship . In order to reduce the risk for people suffering financial hardship as a result of ill health, health financing systems need to fulfill the two functions of pre-payment and pooling of funds.  Zambia has recently launched a national health insurance scheme (NHIS) to enhance service provision and reduce catastrophic health payments. The inconclusive evidence of impact of social health insurance reforms as a means to improve financial protection, improving access to health care and increase health care utilization, in particular for the poor, illustrates the need to carefully evaluate large scale insurance reforms to ensure that desired effects are reached.The aim of this research project is to evaluate the impact of the NHIS and the process of implementation. The project will adopt a quasi-experimental research design and use a nationally representative household survey to evaluate the impact of the reform initiative on financial protection for reproductive and maternal health (RMH) service users and on the equitable utilization of RMH care. A process evaluation of implementing the NHIS will contribute to an understanding of the levels of enrollment, service utilization and financial protection. Zambia beslutade 2018 att hälso- och sjukvårdsystemet skulle reformeras genom införandet av en nationell hälso- och sjukvårdsförsäkring. Det finns starka argument för en allmän försäkring. Tidigare forskning har visat att kostnader för hälso- och sjukvård i Zambia är en viktig bidragande orsak till att många inte söker eller får den vård de behöver. Detta gäller särskilt fattiga och utsatta grupper och de som bor på landsbygden. Försäkringsreformen i Zambia genomförs som en del av en bredare ansats i att uppfylla det globala åtagandet kring universal health coverage (UHC – ung. allmän hälso och sjukvård). UHC innebär att alla ska ha rätt till den vård de behöver, när de behöver den, och att denna vård ges till en rimlig kostnad för att undvika att människor kastas in i fattigdom som en följd av sjukdom. En central del av reformen är tillgång till specialistmödravård. Komplikationer i samband med förlossningar är vanliga i Zambia och mödradödligheten är hög, 252 per 100,000 födslar (vilket kan jämföras med Sveriges omkring 4 dödsfall per 100,000 födslar). Förbättrad tillgång till mödrahälsovård är därför en viktig komponent för att minska mödradödligheten.Flera andra länder i regionen som befinner sig på en liknande inkomstnivå som Zambia har genomfört liknande hälsoförsäkringsreformer med varierande resultat. Eftersom evidensen för hur effektiva hälso- och sjukvårdsförsäkringar är från länder i regionen spretar är det viktigt att de utvärderas ordentligt. Vi föreslår därför ett forskningsprojekt som syftar till att utvärdera effekterna av hälsoförsäkringsreformen i Zambia. Mer specifikt kommer vi att studera hur försäkringen påverkar tillgången till mödrahälsovård samt om kostnaderna för den som söker vård blir lägre genom att vården finansieras gemensamt genom en försäkringslösning. Effekter kommer att mätas genom en survey-undersökning där intervjuer genomförs med försäkrade, respektive icke försäkrade hushåll i ett urval av distrikt i Zambia. Genom statistiska urvalstekniker kan vi generera resultat som går att generalisera på nationell nivå och därigenom ge en övergripande bild av effekterna. Utöver effektutvärderingen kommer vi också att genomföra en processutvärdering av genomförandet av försäkringsreformen. Processutvärdering utgör ett viktigt komplement till effektutvärderingen. Effektutvärderingen kommer att kunna visa på vilka skillnader mellan försäkrade och icke-försäkrade grupper vad gäller tillgång till vård och kostnader den vården, men kommer inte kunna ge förklaringar till resultaten. Processutvärderingen å andra sidan kommer att analysera själva genomförandet och därmed kunna bidra med förklaringsmodeller för de effekter, eller avsaknad av effekter, reformen har lett till. Denna breda ansats ger förutsättningar för en djup förståelse av försäkringsreformens effekter och utgör ett unikt bidrag till kunskapsunderlaget vad gäller hälso- och sjukvårdsförsäkringar i låg- och lägre medelinkomstländer.Projektet är ett samarbete mellan Lunds Universitet och University of Zambia. Det inkluderar också forskare från Dalarnas universitet, Karolinska Institutet och Uppsala Universitet. Sammantaget förväntas vår föreslagna forskning tillhandahålla evidens av relevans för den globala utvecklingsagendan. God hälsa är ett av de övergripande globala utvecklingsmålen (mål 3) i Agenda 2030. Att skapa bättre tillgång till god hälso- och sjukvård är också ett av de explicita undermålen (mål 3.8). God hälsa är också en förutsättning för att eliminera extrem fattigdom (mål 1). Ökad kunskap om hur försäkringslösningar inom hälso- och sjukvården kan bidra till bättre tillgång till hälso- och sjukvård på lika villkor är därför av brett intresse och relevans för utvecklingsforskning, utvecklingsbistånd och framtida nationella hälso- och sjukvårdsreformer i låg- och lägre medelinkomstländer.

UHC is defined as a situation where all people have access to the health services they need, when and where they need them, without financial hardship . In order to reduce the risk for people suffering financial hardship as a result of ill health, health financing systems need to fulfill the two functions of pre-payment and pooling of funds.  Zambia has recently launched a national health insurance scheme (NHIS) to enhance service provision and reduce catastrophic health payments. The inconclusive evidence of impact of social health insurance reforms as a means to improve financial protection, improving access to health care and increase health care utilization, in particular for the poor, illustrates the need to carefully evaluate large scale insurance reforms to ensure that desired effects are reached.The aim of this research project is to evaluate the impact of the NHIS and the process of implementation. The project will adopt a quasi-experimental research design and use a nationally representative household survey to evaluate the impact of the reform initiative on financial protection for reproductive and maternal health (RMH) service users and on the equitable utilization of RMH care. A process evaluation of implementing the NHIS will contribute to an understanding of the levels of enrollment, service utilization and financial protection. Zambia beslutade 2018 att hälso- och sjukvårdsystemet skulle reformeras genom införandet av en nationell hälso- och sjukvårdsförsäkring. Det finns starka argument för en allmän försäkring. Tidigare forskning har visat att kostnader för hälso- och sjukvård i Zambia är en viktig bidragande orsak till att många inte söker eller får den vård de behöver. Detta gäller särskilt fattiga och utsatta grupper och de som bor på landsbygden.

Varje dag dör fler än 800 kvinnor i samband med graviditet och förlossning av orsaker som kan förebyggas. Dessutom dör ungefär 7 000 nyfödda barn varje dag; en tredjedel av dem dör på dagen de föds. Trots att många flera kvinnor föder barn på sjukhus nu jämfört med tidigare, så finns det starka indikationer på att låg vårdkvalitet är det största hindret för att rädda liv på landsbygden i låg- och medelinkomstländer (LMIC). Att förbättra vårdkvaliteten runt förlossningen har identifierats av Världshälsoorganisationen (WHO) som den strategi med störst påverkan för att minska dödsfall av mödrar och nyfödda. WHO rekommenderar kvinnor att ha sällskap av en medföljare som de själva valt ut för att närvara vid förlossningen. Detta är en rekommendation som många kvinnor följer i Sverige men som inte är universell. En medföljare kan förbättra kvinnans upplevelse av förlossningen, att flera barn överlever och minskning av onödiga ingrepp under förlossningen inklusive kejsarsnitt. Att ha sällskap av en person ökar tillfredsställelsen med vården, och kan antas minska vanvård och felaktig behandling av kvinnor som föder på sjukhus.I många LMICs är det inte tillåtet för kvinnor att ha sällskap av en medföljande partner eller släktning till förlossningen. Policys, praktiska hinder som platsbrist och även traditioner är några av de kända anledningar till att många kvinnor föder utan en medföljare i länder där just majoriteten av dödsfall av mödrar och nyfödda inträffar och där det rapporteras om vanvård och felaktig behandling under barnafödandet. Det saknas kunskap om hur förlossningsvården kan ändras i kontexter där kvinnor föder utan en medföljare och där det är möjligt att följa kostnaden för en introduktion av att tillåta medföljare. Detta implementeringsforskningsprojekt kommer bidra till förståelsen av hur vi kan skapa acceptans av en åtgärd som har visat sig effektiv i höginkomstländer som Sverige.  Genom detta implementeringsforskningsprojekt som ingår i två Horizon 2020-finansierade forskningsprojekt riktade till intrapartumvård i åtta länder (Benin, Malawi, Tanzania och Uganda för ALERT-projektet och Argentina, Burkina Faso, Thailand och Vietnam i QUALI-DEC-projektet) syftar vi till att svara på följande uppmaning: att generera vetenskaplig evidens för implementering av olika modeller av medföljarskap, effekterna av medföljarskap, vilka modeller som är lämpliga i olika miljöer, förstå policys och institutionella praxis och strukturer – beredskap för implementering och implikationer för kostnad av implementering och potentiell ökning i omfattning.

Dessa projekt kommer att utföras tillsammans med vårdgivare, nyckelaktörer och samarbetspartners i Benin, Malawi, Tanzania, Uganda, Argentina, Burkina Faso, Thailand och Vietnam.

About 26% of Somalia´s population live a nomadic life, and this significant group of about 4 million people is believed to have even less access to modern health care and health promotion than the rest of the population.This project aims to build up a network of knowledgeable researchers in Somalia, Kenya and Sweden to, together with representatives of the nomadic population and the Ministry of Health, build up a knowledge bank on nomadic health and health care access. The project will also develop a research application for deeper analysis of 1) central health problems to the nomad population, 2) obstacles to access health care, and 3) design and test interventions to create better access to both emergency care and elective care under the special living conditions of the nomadic population.The University of Gothenburg, KEMRI (Wellcome Trust funded health research program in Kenya) and Benadir University in Somalia are initiating this work but intend to join more partners over the next two years. During the project, three major workshops will be conducted in the relatively safe Hargeisa, Somaliland, and the database will be built by Benadir University. Tillgången till hälsovård av god kvalitet är i stort problematisk i Somalia på grund av långvarigt krig och politisk instabilitet. Omkring 26% av Somalias befolkning lever ett nomadliv, och denna betydande grupp om cirka 4 miljoner personer tros ha än sämre tillgång till modern hälsovård och hälsofrämjande åtgärder än övriga befolkningen. Den hälsovård som finns är främst anpassad till stabila populationer och är normalt ej anpassad för nomadernas livsstil, vare sig för barn- och mödravård, kroniska sjukdomar eller för infektioner och pandemier. Kunskapen om behovet av hälsovård, begränsningar i tillgång till hälsovård samt potentiella förbättringsåtgärder är mycket begränsad i denna generellt svårstuderade population. Orsakerna till kunskapsbristen beror återigen på en långvarig instabilitet i landet men eventuellt också på ett begränsat intresse för denna marginaliserade befolkningsgrupp. Detta projekt syftar till att bygga upp ett nätverk av kunniga forskare i Somalia, Kenya och Sverige för att tillsammans med representanter för nomadpopulationen och hälsoministeriet bygga upp en grundläggande kunskapsbank till gagn för Somalia samt för att kunna utveckla en väl underbyggd forskningsansökan att färdigställas vid slutet av projektet.

The intensified use of impregnated bednets has led to a substantial reduction of Anopheles gambiae mosquitoes and thereby also of malaria cases with a 50% reduction of mortality since 2000. However, elimination of malaria has proven difficult due to other mosquito species sustaining the transmission of malaria parasites. In this project, we want to evaluate the attractiveness of two different high-efficiency traps by estimating the distance from where host-seeking mosquitoes are coming to the trap. This knowledge will feed in to current models on how many traps are needed in a village for effective intervention. We have recently shown that the local environment gives each mosquito a unique bacteria profile, so that the microbiota of an insect works as a proxy for where it has been. With this information we are able to clearly distinguish spatial dynamics in populations of malaria mosquitoes using a very small number of insects. The estimation of how the mosquitoes travel will give suggestions of how to spatially plan locations of buildings in relation to mosquito hotspots so the number of malaria mosquitoes a person encounters is radically diminished. We will therefore also follow the population dynamics of malaria mosquitoes over a period of 2 years with the aim to understand flight patterns at different times of the year. Malaria är en parasitsjukdom som framförallt drabbar fattiga människor i Afrika söder om Sahara. Till största delen är det barn i åldrarna 1-5 som dör av sjukdomen som sprids av malariamyggor. Malaria har minskat kraftigt från millenieskiftet, från 2 döda dagisbarn per minut till 1 dagisbarn per minut. En stor anledning till detta är att man har delat ut myggnät impregnerade med myggdödande medel. Detta har kraftigt minskat de myggor som biter på natten inomhus, men på grund av andra myggarter som biter inomhus och/eller på dagen, så kvarstår malaria som ett allvarligt problem. För att kunna komma åt dessa myggor riktar vi in oss på de två tillvägagångssätt som vi bedömer har störst chans i närtid att påverka den malaria som fortfarande förekommer: fysisk planering och doftfällor. Genom fysisk planering av en by kan man se till att avstånden från till exempel ett risfält eller en mygglockande växt är så långt ifrån bosättningen att myggorna inte flyger dit. För de myggor som ändå kommer fram till en bosättning använder vi doftfällor och en del i denna studie är att i fältförsök utvärdera hur bra två olika doftfällor är på att attrahera honmyggor.Uppskattningar av myggornas utbredning och spridning har tidigare krävt att man märker tusentals myggor med radioaktiva ämnen eller med fluorescerande färg innan de släpps iväg och att man sedan försöker fånga in dem igen. Ofta återfinner man då bara en handfull myggor. Vi har nyligen visat att vi genom att analysera bakterieflora hos ett fåtal myggor får mycket precisa uppskattningar om var myggorna kommer ifrån. Bakterierna på och i myggorna avslöjar deras liv fram till infångandet, och vi kan med mycket hög sannolikhet avgöra varifrån en mygga kommer baserat enbart på dess bakterieflora. Vi ska för första gången implementera metoden i ett projekt som handlar om att komma åt de myggor som biter utomhus. Genom att i två etiopiska byar följa myggornas rörelser under två år med hjälp av bakterieanalys av myggorna kommer vi få en bra uppfattning om hur man framöver ska planera bosättningar i förhållande till myggrika platser i närheten av bosättningarna. Utöver detta ska vi i försök med två olika doftfällor undersöka olika dofters attraktionskraft. Vi kommer med vår metod att kunna se vilka myggor som anländer till fällan och varifrån de kommer. Utifrån kunskapen om hur långt myggorna flyger kan man beräkna hur många fällor som behövs för att få bort malarian från byarna.

Home to 1.5 billion people and to 14 of the World’s 15 most polluted cities, its highly populated northern corridor is perennially blanketed with a haze of climate- and health-affecting air pollution. This haze of aerosol and gas pollutants results from many different and poorly constrained incomplete combustion sources, This causes severe effects on both the climate, the food and water supply, as well as the quality of the air people breathe.The overarching purpose of this proposed study is to quantitatively apportion the relative contribution of different emission sources to two of the most disruptive components of this South Asian air pollution:  Black Carbon (BC; soot aerosols) and carbon monoxide (CO; a gas).In collaboration with atmospheric scientists at University of Dhaka, we will advance cutting-edge source-diagnostic dual-isotope fingerprinting on samples of BC and CO, collected in megacity Dhaka and at the strategically-located Bangladesh Climate Observatory at Bhola Island (BCOB intercepts the outflow from the entire Indo-Gangetic Plain, IGP).  The quantitative apportionment of biomass and fossil sources of atmospheric BC and CO will also be used to ground-truth predictions from state-of-the-art emission-transport models, and to advise decisions on mitigation efforts.  The project thus addresses central Sustainable Development Goals related to mitigation of climate change, and access to clean air and freshwater.

Koalitionen inser att SLCP, framförallt Black Carbon (BC, sot) aerosoler men också reaktiva gaser som kolmonoxid (CO) från ofullständig förbränning, står för en betydande del av klimatförändringarna i nu och närtid och dessutom påverkar negativt folkhälsan, tillgången på färskvatten och matförsörjningen i stora befolkningstäta områden.Sydasien och framförallt den nordliga Indo-Gangetiska Slätten (IGP) är en av de mest drabbade områdena som under en stor del av året är insvept i vad från satelliter ser ut som ett stort brunt moln.  Detta Bruna Moln bygger vintertid upp under transport genom hela IGP och tränger in i Bangladesh där några av de högsta halterna och effekterna har uppmäts.  Världshälsoorganisationen WHO pekar på att 14 av världens mest förorenade städer finns jsut här i Södra Asien. CCAC Koalitionen, UNEP, IPCC och WHO efterfrågar studier för att förbättra det vetenskapliga underlaget kring dessa utsläpp, med ett fokus på information som kan underlätta effektiva åtgärder. Ett viktigt exempel på detta är kunskap om de relativa utsläppsbidragen från olika källor.Huvudmålet med det föreslagna projektet är att i ett långtgående och framåtsyftande samarbete med forskarkollegor i Bangladesh tillämpa avancerad isotop-diagnostik på atmosfärsprover BC/sot aerosoler och CO gas, tagna vid två strategiskt placerade atmosfärsobservatorier (i megacity Dhaka och vid det källintegrerade utflödet av IGP i södra Bangladesh (Bhola Observatory), för att kvantitativt bestämma de relativa bidragen från olika aktiviteter, såsom trafik, industrier, tegelbruk, vedeldning, öppna eldar och svedjebruk inom jordbruket.Projektet vidareutveckar ett flerårigt svensk-bangladeshiskt forskningssamarbete där vi nu byggt upp de två strategiskt viktiga atmsofärsobservatorierna och utvecklat både provtagning och mätmetoder for kol-14 i aerosoler. Det föreslagna projektet expanderar nu till den viktiga gasen CO, som påverkar halten av många viktiga ämnen som hydroxy radikalen, metan, och marknära ozon. Denna diagnostik över källorna (13C/180-CO och 143C/14C-BC) av dessa substanser i baserat på mätningar i den faktiska atmosfären kommer också användas för att testa hur väl luftkvalite- och klimatmodeller idag lyckas predicera halterna och källorna, och indikera områden där de iterativt kan förbättras.    Kvantitativ källbestämning av BC/sotpartiklar kommer publiceras i vetenskapliga tidskrifter med hög genomslagsfaktor. Den centrala informationen om den relativa vikten av olika fossila vs biomassakällor är ett direkt beslutsstöd som kommer kommuniceras till beslutsfattare för att underlätta prioriteringarna av olika insatser för att minska utsläppen av de hälso- och klimatpåverkande luftföroreningarna.

Home to 1.5 billion people and to 14 of the World’s 15 most polluted cities, its highly populated northern corridor is perennially blanketed with a haze of climate- and health-affecting air pollution. This haze of aerosol and gas pollutants results from many different and poorly constrained incomplete combustion sources, This causes severe effects on both the climate, the food and water supply, as well as the quality of the air people breathe.The overarching purpose of this proposed study is to quantitatively apportion the relative contribution of different emission sources to two of the most disruptive components of this South Asian air pollution:  Black Carbon (BC; soot aerosols) and carbon monoxide (CO; a gas).In collaboration with atmospheric scientists at University of Dhaka, we will advance cutting-edge source-diagnostic dual-isotope fingerprinting on samples of BC and CO, collected in megacity Dhaka and at the strategically-located Bangladesh Climate Observatory at Bhola Island (BCOB intercepts the outflow from the entire Indo-Gangetic Plain, IGP).  The quantitative apportionment of biomass and fossil sources of atmospheric BC and CO will also be used to ground-truth predictions from state-of-the-art emission-transport models, and to advise decisions on mitigation efforts.  The project thus addresses central Sustainable Development Goals related to mitigation of climate change, and access to clean air and freshwater.

Ny forskning visar att givare försöker hantera sin upplevda osäkerhet genom att överföra tillit från olika ”tillitskällor” till de mottagare och projekt som ska värderas och utvärderas.

Till följd av klimatförändringar och invasion av främmande arter står många småskaliga odlare i subsahariska Afrika handfallna åt de skador som uppkommer. Dessa småskaliga odlare är nödvändiga då den stora majoriteten av odlad mat kommer från de gårdar de driver. Vidare är det inte sällan kvinnor som är de som driver dessa och här skapar inkomst och producerar mat åt sina familjer, en stärkt småskalig odling leder också till ökad jämlikhet. Tyvärr står många av dess odlare under starkt tryck av befintliga och invasiva borrflugor, som kan förstöra skördar av både frukt och grönt. Då i det i många fall saknas hållbara alternativ vänder sig dessa odlare mot pesticider, ofta organofosfater, som även slår ut nyttoinsekter. Vad som istället skulle behövas vore hållbara metoder som bygger på en tämja styrkan i de lokala ekosystemen. Utvecklandet av sådana metoder som tillsammans skapar tillräcklig kontroll av skadeinsekter kallas för integrerat växtskydd. I detta förslag ämnar vi föra samman forskare, var och en framstående inom sitt fält, som tillsammans kan skapa nya uppfinningar för hållbar kontroll av dessa problematiska insekter. På Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet har vi utvecklat metoder för att kartlägga vad en insekt känner för dofter, genom detta har vi utvecklat flera lockbeten för borrflugor som är lovande i labbförsök. Genom att tillsammans med ICIPE i Kenya tillämpa detta på parasitoider kan vi se vilka är de dofter som skall undvikas för att inte ta kål på nyttodjuren. I Kenya, så har man även en gedigen erfarenhet av vilka komponenter som behövs i utvecklandet av ett integrerat växtskydd. För att stärka inkomster hos de småskaliga odlare som är mest känsliga för klimatförändringar är det absolut nödvändigt att utveckla integrerat växtskydd som passar dom. Genom det gedigna nätverket som universitetet i Addis Ababa har med odlare och partners i regionen kan man se till att identifiera de komponenter som behöver variera över olika regioner. Eftersom subsahariska afrika är stort och består av många olika ekosystem och länder behövs det utvecklas metoder som möjliggör att komponenter i det integrerade växtskyddet anpassas för de lokala förutsättningarna, detta kräver att man modellerar vad de olika komponenterna bidrar med.

En sådan förstärkning har vidare ringar på vattnet, med stärkta kvinnor i lokalsamhället, ökade inkomster i låginkomstländer, lägre besprutning samt minskad hunger allt i samspel efter FNs hållbarhetsmål.

Dessa småskaliga odlare är nödvändiga då den stora majoriteten av odlad mat kommer från de gårdar de driver. Vidare är det inte sällan kvinnor som är de som driver dessa och här skapar inkomst och producerar mat åt sina familjer, en stärkt småskalig odling leder också till ökad jämlikhet. Tyvärr står många av dess odlare under starkt tryck av befintliga och invasiva borrflugor, som kan förstöra skördar av både frukt och grönt. Då i det i många fall saknas hållbara alternativ vänder sig dessa odlare mot pesticider, ofta organofosfater, som även slår ut nyttoinsekter. Vad som istället skulle behövas vore hållbara metoder som bygger på en tämja styrkan i de lokala ekosystemen. Utvecklandet av sådana metoder som tillsammans skapar tillräcklig kontroll av skadeinsekter kallas för integrerat växtskydd. I detta förslag ämnar vi föra samman forskare, var och en framstående inom sitt fält, som tillsammans kan skapa nya uppfinningar för hållbar kontroll av dessa problematiska insekter. På Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet har vi utvecklat metoder för att kartlägga vad en insekt känner för dofter, genom detta har vi utvecklat flera lockbeten för borrflugor som är lovande i labbförsök. Genom att tillsammans med ICIPE i Kenya tillämpa detta på parasitoider kan vi se vilka är de dofter som skall undvikas för att inte ta kål på nyttodjuren. I Kenya, så har man även en gedigen erfarenhet av vilka komponenter som behövs i utvecklandet av ett integrerat växtskydd. För att stärka inkomster hos de småskaliga odlare som är mest känsliga för klimatförändringar är det absolut nödvändigt att utveckla integrerat växtskydd som passar dom. Genom det gedigna nätverket som universitetet i Addis Ababa har med odlare och partners i regionen kan man se till att identifiera de komponenter som behöver variera över olika regioner. Eftersom subsahariska afrika är stort och består av många olika ekosystem och länder behövs det utvecklas metoder som möjliggör att komponenter i det integrerade växtskyddet anpassas för de lokala förutsättningarna, detta kräver att man modellerar vad de olika komponenterna bidrar med. Den starka bakgrund i olika kontrolltekniker som CRI i Sydafrika har gör dom till en viktig part i nätverket och drivande i denna del av arbetet.Tillsammans skapar detta projekt en möjlighet att förstärka i första hand de olika institutionerna genom utbyte av kunskap och erfarenhet men i förlängningen en stärkt hortikulturell sektor i subsahariska afrika. En sådan förstärkning har vidare ringar på vattnet, med stärkta kvinnor i lokalsamhället, ökade inkomster i låginkomstländer, lägre besprutning samt minskad hunger allt i samspel efter FNs hållbarhetsmål.

Constrained by insect pests, such as tephritid fruit flies and dependent on harmful insecticides, production is economically and environmentally unsustainable, affecting farmers health ecosystem services, including pollinators and natural enemies. In this network links up researchers and advisors with complementary institutional strengths to improve the integrated management of fruit flies and its dissemination to smallholder fruit growers. We will identify important knowledge gaps and other constraints in IPM of fruit flies, and identify economically feasible, environmentally sound and sustainable IPM practices in fruit fly control. The network has the right components, from research on chemical ecological research to biological control and IPM, and from working with smallholder farmers to control practices in larger scale commercial farms of South Africa We will evaluate the current status gaps in innovation in fruit fly IPM for which collaborative research proposals will be written.

Many sub-Saharan African countries are facing an increase in non-communicable diseases (NCDs), such as diabetes, obesity and metabolic syndrome due to lifestyle changes. At the same time infectious disease such as malaria remain highly endemic in these same areas. A recent study in Sweden detected a markedly increased risk of severe malaria in travellers with diabetes and obesity. Whether this is also found in endemic areas is yet to be confirmed. The purpose of this project is to establish a collaboration between institutions in Cameroon and Sweden; and to develop research projects to address the interplay between NCDs and malaria. We will perform a hospital-based study to assess disease severity and comorbidities. In addition, we will set up a cohort study to assess malaria parasite prevalence and immunity, as well as progress of diabetes. The proposed collaboration builds on highly complementary expertise that will enable generation of novel interdisciplinary findings of high public health importance. The collaboration includes workshops, seminars, research visits and planned PhD, and will be mutually beneficial for the research and development of both partners. Nära hälften av världens befolkning lever i ett område med risk för malaria och årligen drabbas ca 200 miljoner människor av denna infektion. Malaria är en potentiellt allvarlig sjukdom, och trots att det finns effektiv behandling så dör varje år ca 400 000 pga malaria. Merparten av både sjukdom och dödsfall i malaria sker i Afrika söder om Sahara. Att identifiera riskfaktorer för allvarlig malaria är en viktig del i förebyggandet av malaria relaterad sjuklighet och dödlighet.Det senaste decenniet har vi sett en kraftig global ökning av välfärdssjukdomar såsom diabetes, hjärtkärlsjukdom och fetma, även i malaria endemiska områden, och man pratar om att dessa länder bär en dubbel sjukdomsbörda. Hur välfärdssjukdomar interagerar med tropiska infektionssjukdomar är därför extra viktigt att studera. Diabetes och fetma är välkänt för att öka både incidens och allvarlighetsgrad av många olika typer av infektioner. Dock finns endast sparsamt med studier om hur diabetes, övervikt och andra metabola faktorer påverkar förloppet av en infektion med malaria. Högre prevalens av asymtomatisk malaria infektion har visats bland individer med typ 2 diabetes i Ghana och risken för malaria ökade ju sämre socker-kontroll individen hade. Vi har nyligen publicerat en studie om komorbiditeters påverkan på malaria hos 900 vuxna resenärer diagnosticerade med P. falciparum infektion i Sverige. Risken för allvarlig malaria var 3 gånger ökad vid diabetes, 5 gånger vid kraftig övervikt, och över 6 gånger ökad vid metabolt syndrom. Sambandet sågs hos både svenska resenärer och immigranter från länder där malaria är endemiskt. Det är dock okänt om detta samband även ses i malaria endemiska områden där de flesta vuxna individer utvecklat viss immunitet mot malaria.Kamerun är ett av de 10 länder i Afrika som står för merparten av världens malariafall, med över 1 miljon diagnosticerade fall per år, samtidigt som prevalensen av både diabetes och övervikt är lika hög som i många Europeiska länder. Dessutom har det uppskattats att över 2/3 av diabetiker i vissa delar av Kamerun är odiagnostiserade.Tillsammans med kliniker och forskare i Kamerun önskar vi initiera ett sjukhusbaserat projekt för att undersöka hur den ökade bördan av diabetes och andra metabola sjukdomar påverkar asymtomatiskt malaria bärarskap samt även risken för allvarlig malaria och dess komplikationer.Flera studier planeras inom ramen för detta projekt där vi mer specifikt ämnar att:Fastställa hur vanligt förekommande diabetes och metabolt syndrom är bland patienter med malaria som läggs in på sjukhus i Kameruns  samt undersöka risken för allvarlig och dödlig malaria hos individer med typ 2 diabetes och/eller metabolt syndrom.Fastställa om individer med diabetes och/eller metabolt syndrom har en ökad risk för asymtomatisk malaria och om det finns specifika riskprofiler inom dessa grupper.Undersöka om malaria kan påverka diabetes utveckling genom att studera hur en malaria infektion påverkar parametrar såsom insulinproduktion, blodsocker och långtidssocker både hos diabetiker och friska.Utforska antikroppssvar för P.falciparum malaria hos individer med och utan diabetes och/eller metabolt syndrom.Studierna kommer drivas av en tilltänkt doktorand från Kamerun, med handledning från Karolinska Institutet samt University of Dschang i Kamerun. Samabetet involverar specifik expertis inom både diabetes och malaria och kommer även inkludera workshops och seminarier för att utbyta kunskap och erfarenhet från de olika forskningsområdena.Det övergripande syftet med detta projekt är att etablera samarbete mellan forskningsinstitutioner i Kamerun och Sverige samt att undersöka samband mellan välfärdssjukdomar och malaria. Vi tror att detta samarbete kommer att generera resultat som är viktiga ur ett globalt hälsoperspektiv och förhoppningsvis leda till förbättrad handläggningen och förebyggande av både malaria och diabetes-relaterad sjuklighet och dödlighet.

The conservation and sustainable use of oceans is a priority for global development (SDG 14), but so is poverty eradication (SDG 1) and reduced inequality (SDG 10). Research on coastal fishing communities in Tanzania has shown that indigenous knowledge can be beneficial for marine conservation and resource management, but environmental sustainability needs to be better aligned with social sustainability. This project aims at identifying how indigenous knowledge can be leveraged for sea sustainability, while improving livelihoods and alleviating poverty in fishing communities. Carried out by a multidisciplinary team of Swedish and Tanzanian researchers, it brings together anthropology, development studies and marine social science. To advance scientific knowledge production, it foregrounds theorizing with the sea, exploring how fishing communities relate to and coexist with the ocean in the making of Swahili ocean worlds. The project also aims at practical intervention through creative forms of multistakeholder engagement, focusing on how marine resource management can be harmonized with poverty alleviation. Designed as a three-year collaborative research project, it combines digital, visual and sensory ethnographic research methods with workshops, exhibitions and participatory video, to translate research results into action for sustainable living with the sea. Hur kan havets hållbarhet stärkas i samklang med minskad fattgdom och social hållbarhet i fiskesamhällen i låginkomstländer som Tanzania? Medan havets hållbarhet är centralt för människolivet i allmänhet så är det särskilt relevant i områden som Swahili-kusten, där samhällen är beroende av småskaligt fiske för sin försörjning. Detta småskaliga kustnära fiske erbjuder en mer hållbar användning av marina resurser än modernt industriellt fiske, vilket uppmärksammas i det globala utvecklingsmålet om hav, SDG 14. Men kvinnor och män i dessa kustsamhällen kämpar också med höga nivåer av fattigdom och osäker försörjning, vilket understryker vikten av minskad fattigdom (SDG 1) och minskade ojämlikheter (SDG 10). Detta projekt behandlar både miljömässigt och socialt hållbar utveckling, med det övergripande syftet att identifiera hur inhemsk kunskap kan bidra till havets hållbarhet, samtidigt som man förbättrar försörjningen och minskar fattigdomen i fiskesamhällen i Tanzania.Begreppet Swahili Havsvärldar fångar projektets teoretiska nytänkande. Forskningens vetenskapliga ansats kretsar kring teoretisering med havet – att tänka genom och med havet. Genom att sätta havet i fokus undersöker projektet havets roll i de sociala världar som skapas av samhällen utmed Swahilikusten. Swahili betyder kust, så dessa kustnära samhällen har en lång historia av samlevnad med havet. För att förstå de sociala, materiella och spirituella relationer som utgör Swahili Havsvärldar använder projektet innovativa forskningsmetoder, inklusive digitala, visuella och sensoriska metoder. Empirisk data samlas in genom deltagande observation och intervjuer i olika fiskesamhällen, genom multilokalt etnografiskt fältarbete. Materialet ger insikter i inhemsk kunskap om havet, vilket klargör hur kustsamhällen förhåller sig till och samexisterar med havet. En förstudie för detta projekt har redan påvisat komplexa inhemska kunskapssystem som erbjuder en kulturell grund för ett hållbart liv med havet.Forskningsprojektet har även ett praktiskt mål, nämligen att översätta forskningsresultaten till handling genom kreativa former av samverkan med olika nyckelaktörer. Projektets fokus är kopplat till Tanzanias Utvecklingsvision 2025, som uppmärksammar vikten av att vända nedbrytningen av miljöresurser, inklusive fiske.  Projektet relaterar även till den nya strategin för svenskt utvecklingssamarbete med Tanzania för 2020-2024, som har miljö och klimat som ett av fyra resultatområden, med hållbart utnyttjande av marina ekosystem som ett specifikt mål. Genom innovativa former av samverkan, såsom workshops, utställningar och deltagande video, kommer projektet att samverka med olika intressenter, från samhällsmedlemmar och lokala myndigheter till konstnärer, aktivister och experter. Genom att föra samman dessa nyckelaktörer kan projektet både inspirera och motivera kollektiva ansträngningar för en mer miljövänlig och socialt hållbar samlevnad med havet. Dessa insatser kommer också att förmedlas digitalt, för att bredda deltagandet och dokumentera processen.Projektet genomförs av ett tvärvetenskapligt team av svenska och tanzaniska forskare, som sammanför antropologi, utvecklingsstudier och marin samhällsvetenskap. Antropologisk teori och metod erbjuder ett jämförande helhetsperspektiv och empiriskt tillvägagångssätt som breddar förståelsen av hållbar samlevnad med havet. Forskningsperspektiv från marin samhällsvetenskap och utvecklingsstudier säkerställer att kunskapsproduktionen är väl förankrad i ett lokalt utvecklingssammanhang. Detta tvärvetenskapliga tillvägagångssätt är även viktigt för kapacitetsutveckling, som är en del av projektets ansats. För att säkerställa en mer långsiktig kunskapsproduktion kommer en av gruppmedlemmarna att genomgå ett doktorandprogram i utvecklingsstudier som en del av detta projekt, som därmed bygger forskningskapacitet vid University of Dar es Salaam i Tanzania.

The conservation and sustainable use of oceans is a priority for global development (SDG 14), but so is poverty eradication (SDG 1) and reduced inequality (SDG 10). Research on coastal fishing communities in Tanzania has shown that indigenous knowledge can be beneficial for marine conservation and resource management, but environmental sustainability needs to be better aligned with social sustainability.

In the absence of efficient malaria vaccines, the globally rising drug resistance in Plasmodium parasites necessitates new antiplasmodial drug discovery. The COVID19 epidemic drains resources from the fight against malaria, further aggravating the situation for years to come.P. vivax establishes chronic infections through its dormant stage in the host liver. This makes it difficult to control, and also puts a great burden on afflicted populations because of the lengthy infections. Development of drugs against P. vivax has been lagging, as no experimentally tractable life cycle phase exists. Consequently, antimalarial drugs with few exceptions target P. falciparum. Our goal is to find drug candidates blocking the P. vivax dormant liver stage.Antiparasitic drug discovery has been slow because of insufficient funding, and inefficient scientific approaches. We will speed this up using modern genomics-oriented technologies in target identification and drug candidate discovery. Surrogate genetics in yeast allows us to access target proteins from the dormant liver stage. AI approaches in virtual screening and robotics in physical screening accelerate finding small molecule drug candidates. These will be refined with medicinal chemistry and tested for efficacy against parasites resistant to existing drugs, and against the dormant liver stage in a newly designed liver model system for Plasmodium infections. Förekomsten av malaria i världen är nära kopplad till låg inkomst. Sjukdomen orsakas av parasiter av släktet Plasmodium och sprids med myggor av släktet Anopheles. Otäta bostäder och frånvaro av dränering ökar riskerna för utbredning av malaria. Bristande resurser och fysisk infrastruktur försvårar åtgärder mot sjukdomen som myggnät och malariamediciner. På grund av fattigdom och otillräckligt antal medicinskt utbildad personal förekommer det att förfalskade eller utblandade malariamediciner säljs, och att otillräckliga doser tas. Allt detta driver på utvecklingen av resistens mot malariamediciner, ett snabbt ökande globalt problem.Malaria är en av de tre infektionssjukdomar som orsakar flest dödsfall hos människa; nära en halv miljon människor dör av malaria årligen. Räknat i antal sjuka är dock malaria överlägset störst bland dessa tre, i genomsnitt är över 200 miljoner människor infekterade av Plasmodium. Särskilt små barn och gravida kvinnor är sårbara. En malariainfektion är ofta långvarig, i vissa fall livslång. Den negativa effekten av malaria på samhällets ekonomiska utveckling blir därför stor, på grund av långa perioder av utebliven skolgång och oförmåga till arbete. Detta gäller särskilt för P. vivax, den art av malariaparasiten som vi inriktar oss på här. Den har förmåga att etablera ett permanent vilstadium i levern, där det är mycket svårt att komma åt den. Infektioner av P. vivax kan därför bli kroniska och orsaka livslångt lidande.Inget fungerande malariavaccin existerar, endast antimalarialäkemedel är effektiva. En oroande resistensökning har dock setts globalt under de senaste decennierna, vilket gör utveckling av nya läkemedel till en prioritet. Då de befolkningar som drabbas har knappa resurser att betala för behandling, har läkemedelsföretagen inte varit aktiva i att ta fram nya läkemedel mot malaria. Liksom för de flesta tropiska sjukdomar har därför satsningarna varit små, och finansieringen kommit från offentliga och icke-kommersiella källor.Jämfört med P. falciparum, som orsakar ett häftigare sjukdomsförlopp och högre akut dödlighet, har P. vivax tilldragit sig mindre uppmärksamhet. Vivax-malaria är därför ofta underdiagnosticerad. I motsats till P. falciparum är det inte möjligt att kontinuerligt odla P. vivax in vitro, vilket gör det tekniskt svårt att testa läkemedelskandidater. Av dessa två skäl har framtagandet av läkemedel mot P. vivax blivit relativt sett försummat, och i dagsläget finns endast ett par läkemedel mot P. vivax.Forskning för upptäckt av nya läkemedel mot tropiska parasitsjukdomar har länge bedrivits enligt ålderdomliga principer. Vi vill tillämpa nya molekylära metoder för att snabba på processen. Vi använder ett genetiskt surrogatsystem i jäst för att kunna jämföra proteiner från P. vivax med motsvarigheterna hos människa. På så sätt kan vi hitta molekyler som slår främst mot parasitproteinet, vilket minskar risken för biverkningar. Vi kommer också att använda datorbaserade metoder och artificiell intelligens för att leta molekyler som kan binda till målproteinerna och med lämplig struktur för vidare utveckling till läkemedel. Vi kommer att utnyttja robotiserad metodik för höghastighetstestning. Bland de samarbetande forskargrupperna finns kompetens i strukturbiologi, beräkningskemi och läkemedelskemi. Det finns också tillgång till lämpliga modeller för att testa effektiviteten mot Plasmodium, och särskilt mot vilstadiet i levern.Vi inriktar oss på att hitta molekyler som blockerar bildningen av det permanenta vilstadiet i levern för P. vivax. För detta behöver vi identifiera proteiner som är nödvändiga för detta stadium, vilket vi kommer att göra genom att studera genuttrycksmönster hos parasiten i olika faser av dess livscykel. Om vi lyckas med att blockera vilstadiet i levern, öppnas vägen mot att kunna slutgiltigt eliminera parasiten från en smittad individ. Detta skulle vara ett viktigt bidrag till att trycka tillbaka malarians expansion.

In low-income countries one-fifth of adult deaths are associated with TB. If left untreated, each person with active TB is estimated to infect 10 to 15 new individuals annually. Therefore, interrupting disease transmission by accurate early detection/diagnosis, paired with appropriate treatment is of major importance. One quarter of the world´s population is estimated to be latently infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) and as such are at lifelong risk of progressing to active TB. It is estimated that 10% of latently infected develop active TB. However, no tests currently exist that can accurately predict who will progress from latent to active TB. The purpose of this project is to evaluate two novel methods to detect progression from latent TB to active disease; 1) a multiplex FluoroSpot assay that is a further development of the clinically used single-plex T-Spot assay, and 2) immune response signatures based on cell and plasma profiling. This proposal takes advantage of a recently initiated EDCTP-funded prospective multicenter study (called ERASE-TB) that is designed to sample 2100 household contacts to individuals with active TB in Tanzania, Zimbabwe, and Mozambique. Samples will be collected at several timepoints over two years after confirmed exposure to Mtb, providing an optimal setting to evaluate the proposed diagnostic methods. Tuberkulos är den enskilt största infektionssjukdomen som globalt leder till flest dödsfall varje år. Den drabbar främst låginkomstländer, där upp till vart femte dödsfall hos vuxna är associerat med sjukdomen. Det är estimerat att ca 25% av jordens befolkning är infekterade med Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), den bacill som orsakar tuberkulos. Hos de allra flesta hålls infektionen i en vilande icke-smittsam form, men över sin livstid kommer ca 10% av dessa utveckla en aktiv smittsam form. Varje smittsam individ beräknas sedan infektera 10–15 nya individer. Den nuvarande behandlingen består av kombinationspreparat som ges under 6 månader, ofta med biverkningar, vilket försvårar följsamheten. Då så många lever med en kontrollerad vilande infektion globalt så är det därför inte eftersträvansvärt att behandla alla. Dessutom skulle behandling på bred front snabbt leda till utveckling av resistenta stammar. Detta är redan ett problem på många platser och försvårar behandlingen markant. För att stoppa spridningen av Mtb och utvecklingen av tuberkulos behövs därför bättre detektionsmetoder. Dessa bör kunna identifiera de som är infekterade och på väg att utveckla en aktiv smittsam sjukdom. För närvarande finns inga tester som klarar detta. I detta projekt utvärderas två nya metoder för deras kapacitet att identifiera individer som är på väg att utveckla aktiv smittsam sjukdom. Denna typ av studier är svåra att genomföra då man behöver följa ett stort antal individer med känd Mtb exponering över tid för att se vilka som utvecklar en aktiv sjukdom. Man kan sedan använda tidigare insamlade prover från de individerna som utvecklade aktiv sjukdom och jämföra med prover från andra individer som fortsatt att kontrollera sin infektion. Genom denna jämförelse kan man då hitta mönster, eller signaturer, som förutsäger utvecklingen av aktiv sjukdom. Ett uppföljande steg är sedan att översätta dessa ”signaturer” till diagnostiska tester. I detta projekt kommer vi att medverka i ett större europeiskt samarbetsprojekt där man följer 2100 individer i Tanzania, Moçambique, och Zimbabwe med känd Mtb exponering över två år. Under de två åren samlar vi in prover vid fyra tillfällen. Proverna används sedan för att undersöka individens immunsvar och att identifiera signaturer associerade med utveckling av aktiv sjukdom. Kan vi säkerställa signaturer som förutsäger utveckling av aktiv sjukdom med stor säkerhet så har vi en god start för att utveckla bättre diagnostiska tester. Dessa är sedan i sin tur kritiska för att kontrollera den globala spridningen av tuberkulos.

In low-income countries one-fifth of adult deaths are associated with TB. If left untreated, each person with active TB is estimated to infect 10 to 15 new individuals annually. Therefore, interrupting disease transmission by accurate early detection/diagnosis, paired with appropriate treatment is of major importance. One quarter of the world´s population is estimated to be latently infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) and as such are at lifelong risk of progressing to active TB. It is estimated that 10% of latently infected develop active TB. However, no tests currently exist that can accurately predict who will progress from latent to active TB. The purpose of this project is to evaluate two novel methods to detect progression from latent TB to active disease; 1) a multiplex FluoroSpot assay that is a further development of the clinically used single-plex T-Spot assay, and 2) immune response signatures based on cell and plasma profiling. This proposal takes advantage of a recently initiated EDCTP-funded prospective multicenter study (called ERASE-TB) that is designed to sample 2100 household contacts to individuals with active TB in Tanzania, Zimbabwe, and Mozambique. Samples will be collected at several timepoints over two years after confirmed exposure to Mtb, providing an optimal setting to evaluate the proposed diagnostic methods. Tuberkulos är den enskilt största infektionssjukdomen som globalt leder till flest dödsfall varje år. Den drabbar främst låginkomstländer, där upp till vart femte dödsfall hos vuxna är associerat med sjukdomen. Det är estimerat att ca 25% av jordens befolkning är infekterade med Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), den bacill som orsakar tuberkulos. Hos de allra flesta hålls infektionen i en vilande icke-smittsam form, men över sin livstid kommer ca 10% av dessa utveckla en aktiv smittsam form. Varje smittsam individ beräknas sedan infektera 10–15 nya individer. Den nuvarande behandlingen består av kombinationspreparat som ges under 6 månader, ofta med biverkningar, vilket försvårar följsamheten. Då så många lever med en kontrollerad vilande infektion globalt så är det därför inte eftersträvansvärt att behandla alla. Dessutom skulle behandling på bred front snabbt leda till utveckling av resistenta stammar. Detta är redan ett problem på många platser och försvårar behandlingen markant. För att stoppa spridningen av Mtb och utvecklingen av tuberkulos behövs därför bättre detektionsmetoder. Dessa bör kunna identifiera de som är infekterade och på väg att utveckla en aktiv smittsam sjukdom. För närvarande finns inga tester som klarar detta. I detta projekt utvärderas två nya metoder för deras kapacitet att identifiera individer som är på väg att utveckla aktiv smittsam sjukdom. Denna typ av studier är svåra att genomföra då man behöver följa ett stort antal individer med känd Mtb exponering över tid för att se vilka som utvecklar en aktiv sjukdom. Man kan sedan använda tidigare insamlade prover från de individerna som utvecklade aktiv sjukdom och jämföra med prover från andra individer som fortsatt att kontrollera sin infektion. Genom denna jämförelse kan man då hitta mönster, eller signaturer, som förutsäger utvecklingen av aktiv sjukdom. Ett uppföljande steg är sedan att översätta dessa ”signaturer” till diagnostiska tester. I detta projekt kommer vi att medverka i ett större europeiskt samarbetsprojekt där man följer 2100 individer i Tanzania, Moçambique, och Zimbabwe med känd Mtb exponering över två år. Under de två åren samlar vi in prover vid fyra tillfällen. Proverna används sedan för att undersöka individens immunsvar och att identifiera signaturer associerade med utveckling av aktiv sjukdom.

Current climate change mitigation programs revolving around re- and afforestation may conflict with biodiversity and local livelihoods in savanna-dominated ecosystems in Sub-Saharan Africa. We urgently need to identify key processes that could provide synergies between biodiversity, climate change mitigation and livelihood services. In Faunal Activities for Climate Action (FACA), we develop a new partnership between Swedish, African and European scientists to investigate the hypothesis that restoring animal diversity will promote the successful dispersal and pollination of a broad diversity of tree species, essential for carbon storage and other ecosystem services. Our new partnership will expand the southern African vegetation-monitoring network, SEOSAW, with animal diversity monitoring using novel passive acoustic sensors. We will implement this using a combination of online workshops and local training sessions in Africa. We initially focus on 2 SEOSAW partners (Angola and Mozambique) and add Madagascar as the only southern African country currently not in SEOSAW. We will then develop larger grant applications involving all 12 southern African countries currently included in SEOSAW. This partnership will expand the role of African scientists in global change research, giving Africa a stronger voice in global policy platforms. Med globala klimat- och biologiska mångfaldskriser hotande, måste vi hitta sätt att maximera koldioxidlagring och minimera utsläpp utan att skada växt och vilt. Detta är särskilt viktigt i savannskogarna som sträcker sig över större delen av Afrika söder om Sahara, biologisk mångfald, minskning av klimatförändringar och mänsklig försörjning hotas av markomvandling och skogsintrång. Vi måste därför identifiera viktiga processer som samtidigt kan främja koldioxidbindning och återställa funktioner för biologisk mångfald och försörjning. För att möta dessa utmaningar kommer forskare från Madagaskar och Sverige att gå samman med ett nätverk av 12 afrikanska länder för att samla kunskap om vilt, och växter samt hur de interagerar med varandra och deras miljö, inklusive människor.Under de två första åren av vårt partnerskap kommer vi att sammanställa information om lagring av kol, samt vilka djur som pollinerar och sprider savannträd för att se om djuren hjälper till att lagra kol genom att sprida frön och ’plantera’ de träd som lagrar mest kol. Detta kommer att kräva en ny datainsamling och analys av hur mycket kol som lagras i träd. Om djuraktiviteter hjälper till att maximera koldioxidlagring i ett område, är det att bra sätt skydda dessa djur, eftersom utan dem kommer koldioxidlagringen så småningom att minska. Vi kommer också att testa nya metoder för att upptäcka djuren som pollinerar och sprider trädfrön i Angola, Moçambique och Madagaskar med hjälp av akustiska inspelare. Dessa inspelningar visar den rika och unika biologiska mångfalden i skogsmarkerna och hjälper oss att koppla djurens mångfald till kollagring. Dessa metoder kan senare användas i alla 13 länder (inklusive Madagaskar, som kommer att läggas till i nätverket) för att hjälpa till att svara på frågor om hur mänskliga aktiviteter, inklusive trädplantering, brandbekämpning eller boskap, påverkar både koldioxid och vilt. Vi hoppas också få se konsekvenserna av miljöförändringar för människor som är beroende av skogsmarken för mat och andra varor och tjänster genom att se vilka växter och djur som är viktiga för deras dagliga liv.Bortsett från våra forskningsmål kommer detta utökade nätverk att erbjuda utbildningsmöjligheter för unga afrikanska forskare.

A new global agenda to protect 30% of the ocean by 2030 provides a window of opportunity to rethink MPA design to maximize their benefits for both nature and society. In the Indo-Pacific, a region with high levels of poverty, seagrasses provide several important benefits to humans, such as productive fisheries and coastal protection. Seagrass specific conservation measures are rare and seldom a priority in tropical conservation strategies or targeted in MPAs. In the proposed project, we will assess how MPAs could be better designed to help safeguard the future of Indo-Pacific seagrasses and, indirectly, the crucial benefits they provide to coastal communities. We will combine ecological field surveys over time and space with social science analyses and social-ecological modelling. We will address drivers of seagrass cover and species composition; synergies and trade-offs between seagrass protection and socio-economic development; how we can rethink MPA design to include seagrass, and the key factors to consider for policymakers and managers. The methods described and the anticipated results are at the forefront of marine conservation issues and highly relevant not only to seagrass research but to all research aimed at developing conservation solutions through multi-scale stakeholder engagement. Marina skyddade områden har blivit ett av de främsta verktygen för att bromsa förlusten av marin biodiversitet. Nyligen åtog sig många länder att skydda minst 30% av sina havsområden till år 2030, ett initiativet kallat “30X30”. För att möjliggöra denna ambitiösa plan behövs nu en drastiskt ökad kunskap om var och hur vi bäst ska införa olika typer av MPAs för att maximera deras nytta och minimera deras potentiellt negativa effekter på t.ex. människor som är starkt beroende av naturresurser som fiske. Sjögräsängar är ett globalt förekommande marint ekosystem som bidrar med många viktiga ekosystemtjänster till just fattiga kustsamhällen i utvecklingsländer, som fiske för mat och inkomst, motverkande av kusterosion och som kolsänkor, vilket bromsar klimatförändringar. Men trots sjögräsängars stora betydelse så saknar vi fortfarande mycket kunskap om dem och många människor känner inte till dem eller vad som skiljer sjögräs från alger (eng: “seaweed” vs. seagrass); ett faktum som bidragit till att de sällan inkluderats i marina förvaltningsplaner och marina skyddade områden. Men med ökad exploatering av kustzoner har sjögräsens utbredningen minskat drastiskt runt om i världen. Speciellt anmärkningsvärt är att i fokusområdet för studien – Indiska Oceanen och västra Stilla havet – så är sjögräs sällan inkluderade eller ens nämnda i marina förvaltningsplaner och bevarandestrategier. Därför vet vi ännu inte heller vilka förvaltnings- och bevarandestrategier som är mest effektiva för att både skydda sjögräs och säkerställa att deras ekosystemtjänster fortfarande kan gynna människor. Syftet med projektet är att skapa en bättre förståelse om hur vi på bästa sätt kan inkludera sjögräs i marina skyddade områden med hänsyn till social, ekonomisk och miljömässig hållbarhet i tropiska utvecklingsländer. För att nå dit behöver vi lära oss mer om flera områden inom sjögräsforskningsfältet. Projektet består av tre arbetspaket för att ta fram ett gediget kunskapsunderlag om hur man bäst kan inkludera sjögräs i Indiska Oceanen och västra Stilla havet i marina skyddsområden inom ramen för stark hållbar utveckling. Vi kommer att göra ekologiska undersökningar där vi kommer att undersöka vad det är som påverkar sjögräsets hälsa. Vi kommer även att undersöka sociala aspekter av marint skydd av sjögräs, för att få en förståelse hur det skydd av sjögräs (eller avsaknaden därav) kommer att påverka människor. Vi kommer även använda oss av modellering, som ett hjälpmedel för att utreda vilka som är de optimala strategierna för sjögräs beroende på vad för mål man har med sin förvaltning, socioekonomiska förhållanden, hur landskapet ser ut, vilka resurser man har, samt vilka hot och miljöfaktorer som påverkar området. Alla steg i modelleringen kommer att ge oss mycket värdefull data som flyttar forskningsfronten framåt.

Cases of sextortion have been documented in a range of contexts and sectors around the world, but because it does not neatly fit the definition of neither corruption nor gender based violence, it tends to be made invisible in both research and development practice.  Theoretically, this project will demonstrate what the implications are when sex is the currency of a corrupt transaction. Empirically, it will investigate how action can be taken against sextortion in a development project. In three steps, the project (1) theoretically highlights important aspects of the concept of sextortion, (2) maps if and how they translate into policy formulation, and (3) identifies opportunities and challenges with implementing policy about sextortion. With a definition of sextortion emphasizing the abuse of authority and the role of gender norms as a starting point, the project closely follows a process around formulating and implementing policy about sextortion in a non-governmental organization working with adult education in Tanzania. Sextortion är en form av korruption och könsbaserat våld. Sextortion innebär att en person missbrukar sin maktposition för att få tillgång till en sexuell tjänst, i utbyte mot en tjänst eller förmån som hen har möjlighet att bevilja eller undanhålla i kraft av sin position.Sextortion är en kränkning av mänskliga rättigheter och ett maktmissbruk. Men eftersom sextortion äger rum i gränslandet mellan korruption och könsbaserat våld, faller sextortion ofta mellan stolarna. De flesta studier av korruption undersöker mutor med fokus på pengar, vilket riskerar att osynliggöra andra former av korruption. I sextortion är valutan istället sex, vilket bidrar till dess osynliggörande. Offer för sextortion upplever ofta rädsla, skam och stigmatisering, vilket gör att flertalet fall av sextortion aldrig rapporteras.Detta projekt undersöker vilka implikationer det får när sex är valutan i korrupta transaktioner.I Tanzania är sextortion ett erkänt fenomen med ett eget begrepp, till skillnad från de flesta andra länder. Detta ger verktyg att motverka sextortion, men det finns också glapp mellan policy och lagstiftning om sextortion, och implementeringen av desamma.Projektet studerar organisationen Karibu Tanzania Organization (KTO), som samlar folkhögskolor i Tanzania, och följer deras process att formulera och implementera policies för att motverka sextortion. Denna process tar sin början 2021, och KTO samarbetar med myndigheten mot korruption och utbildningsdepartementet i Tanzania för att integrera sextortion även i deras arbete. KTOs process och samarbeten utgör projektets fallstudie för att studera implementering av policies mot sextortion. Projektet undersöker förutsättningarna för att implementera en sådan policy mot sextortion och vilka utmaningar det finns i implementeringsprocessen.Datainsamling för projektet görs genom fältarbetesresor till Tanzania och workshops med representanter för regeringsdepartement och antikorruptionsmyndigheten, Sida och andra givare, icke-statliga organisationer, samt rektorer och lärare vid KTOs folkhögskolor. Projektet gör också intervjuer med workshopdeltagarna, och en omfattande policyanalys av relevant policy och lagstiftning i Tanzania.Datamaterialet analyseras med hjälp av ett teoretiskt ramverk som består av maskulinitetsteori och feministisk institutionalism. Detta ramverk möjliggör forskningsfrågor som fokuserar på hur institutioner möjliggör maktmissbruk. Hur säkrar policies till att fall av sextortion kan anmälas och följas upp, att anmälare skyddas och förövare lagförs? Projektet fokuserar på ansvaret för maktmissbruk genom att ifrågasätta normalisering och institutionalisering av sådant maktmissbruk.Forskningen är av stor relevans för hållbar utveckling och fattigdomsbekämpning. Sextortion är en form av korruption, och korruption är ett allvarligt hinder för hållbar utveckling. Sextortion innebär ett brott mot mänskliga rättigheter. Sextortion försvårar också tillgång till andra rättigheter, såsom grundläggande rättigheter till utbildning, hälsa, arbete under värdiga former, rätten till mark och vatten, säkerhet eller tillträde till rättssystemet.Tidigare forskning om korruption har oftast fokuserat på utbyte av pengar eller andra tjänster, vilket innebär att man har missat specifikt könade former av korruption som sextortion. När sex är valuta i korruption måste man också ta hänsyn till köns- och sexualitetsnormer för att förstå förekomsten och osynliggörandet av sextortion.Tidigare forskning har visat att sextortion är ett allvarligt hinder för hållbar utveckling, men det finns fortfarande kunskapsglapp om hur sextortion kan motverkas och förebyggas. Detta projekt fokuserar på hur maktmissbruk och ansvar formuleras i policies om sextortion, och hur dessa policies sedan kan implementeras.Projektet bidrar med kunskap om vilka implikationer det får när sex är valutan i korrupta transaktioner, vilket förbättrar förutsättningarna för att implementera policies för att motverka sextortion.

Detta ramverk möjliggör forskningsfrågor som fokuserar på hur institutioner möjliggör maktmissbruk. Hur säkrar policies till att fall av sextortion kan anmälas och följas upp, att anmälare skyddas och förövare lagförs? Projektet fokuserar på ansvaret för maktmissbruk genom att ifrågasätta normalisering och institutionalisering av sådant maktmissbruk.Forskningen är av stor relevans för hållbar utveckling och fattigdomsbekämpning. Sextortion är en form av korruption, och korruption är ett allvarligt hinder för hållbar utveckling. Sextortion innebär ett brott mot mänskliga rättigheter. Sextortion försvårar också tillgång till andra rättigheter, såsom grundläggande rättigheter till utbildning, hälsa, arbete under värdiga former, rätten till mark och vatten, säkerhet eller tillträde till rättssystemet.Tidigare forskning om korruption har oftast fokuserat på utbyte av pengar eller andra tjänster, vilket innebär att man har missat specifikt könade former av korruption som sextortion. När sex är valuta i korruption måste man också ta hänsyn till köns- och sexualitetsnormer för att förstå förekomsten och osynliggörandet av sextortion.Tidigare forskning har visat att sextortion är ett allvarligt hinder för hållbar utveckling, men det finns fortfarande kunskapsglapp om hur sextortion kan motverkas och förebyggas. Detta projekt fokuserar på hur maktmissbruk och ansvar formuleras i policies om sextortion, och hur dessa policies sedan kan implementeras.Projektet bidrar med kunskap om vilka implikationer det får när sex är valutan i korrupta transaktioner, vilket förbättrar förutsättningarna för att implementera policies för att motverka sextortion.

Cases of sextortion have been documented in a range of contexts and sectors around the world, but because it does not neatly fit the definition of neither corruption nor gender based violence, it tends to be made invisible in both research and development practice.  Theoretically, this project will demonstrate what the implications are when sex is the currency of a corrupt transaction. Empirically, it will investigate how action can be taken against sextortion in a development project. In three steps, the project (1) theoretically highlights important aspects of the concept of sextortion, (2) maps if and how they translate into policy formulation, and (3) identifies opportunities and challenges with implementing policy about sextortion. With a definition of sextortion emphasizing the abuse of authority and the role of gender norms as a starting point, the project closely follows a process around formulating and implementing policy about sextortion in a non-governmental organization working with adult education in Tanzania. Sextortion är en form av korruption och könsbaserat våld. Sextortion innebär att en person missbrukar sin maktposition för att få tillgång till en sexuell tjänst, i utbyte mot en tjänst eller förmån som hen har möjlighet att bevilja eller undanhålla i kraft av sin position.Sextortion är en kränkning av mänskliga rättigheter och ett maktmissbruk. Men eftersom sextortion äger rum i gränslandet mellan korruption och könsbaserat våld, faller sextortion ofta mellan stolarna. De flesta studier av korruption undersöker mutor med fokus på pengar, vilket riskerar att osynliggöra andra former av korruption. I sextortion är valutan istället sex, vilket bidrar till dess osynliggörande. Offer för sextortion upplever ofta rädsla, skam och stigmatisering, vilket gör att flertalet fall av sextortion aldrig rapporteras.Detta projekt undersöker vilka implikationer det får när sex är valutan i korrupta transaktioner.I Tanzania är sextortion ett erkänt fenomen med ett eget begrepp, till skillnad från de flesta andra länder. Detta ger verktyg att motverka sextortion, men det finns också glapp mellan policy och lagstiftning om sextortion, och implementeringen av desamma.Projektet studerar organisationen Karibu Tanzania Organization (KTO), som samlar folkhögskolor i Tanzania, och följer deras process att formulera och implementera policies för att motverka sextortion. Denna process tar sin början 2021, och KTO samarbetar med myndigheten mot korruption och utbildningsdepartementet i Tanzania för att integrera sextortion även i deras arbete. KTOs process och samarbeten utgör projektets fallstudie för att studera implementering av policies mot sextortion. Projektet undersöker förutsättningarna för att implementera en sådan policy mot sextortion och vilka utmaningar det finns i implementeringsprocessen.Datainsamling för projektet görs genom fältarbetesresor till Tanzania och workshops med representanter för regeringsdepartement och antikorruptionsmyndigheten, Sida och andra givare, icke-statliga organisationer, samt rektorer och lärare vid KTOs folkhögskolor.

Naming practices reflect socio-political conditions and can be seen as a manifestation of authority and ideology. This project contributes to a new way of studying political change and power relations in Rwanda. It stresses the role of language in social development, especially in relation to identity and social cohesion.The project has three specific work packages with interlinked aims: To determine ideologies behind earlier and new naming practices, to establish how naming systems impact on people’s sense of inclusion in Rwandan society, and to highlight and disseminate the voices of those who move in the linguistic landscape. This will be done by developing an interactive map based on a free and collaborative OpenStreetMap that can also be used by educational institutions and organisations in Rwanda. This three-year-project involves researchers from the University of Gothenburg, Sweden, and the University of Kigali and the University of Rwanda in Rwanda, who collaborate by conducting document search and analysis, interviews with officials and politicians, with citizens (including video-recorded walk-along interviews), focus group discussions and workshops about how to use and reuse the digital interactive map as well as pedagogical development. Gatuskyltar betyder något. De ingår i det språkliga landskapet som omger oss. De visar på vad som har varit och de pekar mot framtiden. Gatuskyltar i Kigali och andra städer byttes i 2011-2012 ut och ändrade utseende. De nya skyltarna använder ett nytt språk, engelska, som bara talas av en elit. De gamla skyltarna använde nationalspråket kinyarwanda och franska.   Namn- och språkbyten råkar inte bara hända – de är val som visar ideologier och sociala och politiska skeenden. Majoriteten av befolkningen som talar sitt eget modersmål, kinyarwanda, påverkas av sådana val.I Rwanda talar man inte engelska utan kinyarwanda med varandra på alla nivåer i samhället. Engelska har introducerats i Rwanda som en följd av folkmordet i 1994 och återkomsten av den nya politiska maktelit som kom tillbaka till landet efter långvarig landsflykt i grannländer där engelska är officiellt språk. Engelska, som verkar symbolisera det nya moderna Rwanda, fritt från kolonialt arv, lär man sig genom skolsystemet och språket har fått ytterligare status genom att nyligen bli upphöjt till undervisningsspråk.Huvudstaden Kigali är mitt i en process där den gamla centrumbebyggelsen ersätts av höga och moderna byggnader som även dessa symboliserar det nya Rwanda.  Beslutet att byta ut gatuskyltarna – och även att ändra andra namn – är politiska beslut som påverkar invånarnas identitet och känsla av tillhörighet.Projektet kombinerar utvecklingsforskning, sociolingvistik (forskning om språk och samhälle) och namnforskning. Denna kombination av olika forskningsfält är ny.Mot denna bakgrund har projektet tre delmål:1) att undersöka vilka ideologier som ligger till grund för tidigare namnpraxis och för de val man har gjort för omdöpning av alla gatunamn i Rwanda, samt på vilka nivåer besluten har fattats; 2) att fastställa hur de nya gatuskyltarna påverkar hur människor rör sig i den urbana miljön, undersöka känsla av sammanhållning och tillhörighet bland de kvinnor och män som använder Kigalis gator, samt analysera om myndigheternas beslut ifrågasätts eller accepteras; 3) att synliggöra de medverkandes upplevelser och minnen av platser i det språkliga landskapet genom att utveckla en interaktiv karta (baserad på en OpenStreetMap) där foto och korta texter laddas upp.Den webbaserade kartan kan användas av lärare och studenter i Rwanda, samt vidareutvecklas för lokala organisationer.  Workshops om pedagogik och framtida användningsområden kommer att hållas i samarbete med University of Kigali och University of Rwanda. Genom workshops i Rwanda kommer projektet att medverka till ett ökat forsknings- och pedagogiskt utbyte mellan forskare, lärare och studenter.Den svenska och den rwandiska forskaren som medverkar i projektet, kommer att använda olika metoder och aktiviteter för att fånga projektets tre huvudmål: Arkivforskning och kvalitativ analys av dokument, intervjuer med representanter för staten, fotodokumentation med hjälp av geografiskt informationssystem (GIS), ljudinspelningar av intervjuer och videoinspelningar under vandringar i Kigalis gator, fokusgrupp-diskussioner med kvinnor och män ur olika åldersgrupper och med olik bakgrund, workshops om användning och vidareutveckling av den digitala kartan som tas fram samt om interaktiva metoder.Genom att använda olika ingångar och metoder vill projektet belysa hur politiska beslut om språk spelar en väsentlig roll för individens delaktighet i samhället och för hur samhället utvecklas.  Detta är en aspekt som inte lyfts i rapporter och diskussioner om utveckling i låginkomstländer.När språk blir en faktor som antingen inkluderar eller exkluderar, beroende på utbildningsnivå eller socio-ekonomiska status, måste detta lyftas fram i utvecklingsdebatten. Därför är det viktigt att vanliga människors erfarenheter och röster om språk och offentliga texter i stadens gator kommer fram och når beslutsfattare.

Naming practices reflect socio-political conditions and can be seen as a manifestation of authority and ideology. This project contributes to a new way of studying political change and power relations in Rwanda. It stresses the role of language in social development, especially in relation to identity and social cohesion.The project has three specific work packages with interlinked aims: To determine ideologies behind earlier and new naming practices, to establish how naming systems impact on people’s sense of inclusion in Rwandan society, and to highlight and disseminate the voices of those who move in the linguistic landscape. This will be done by developing an interactive map based on a free and collaborative OpenStreetMap that can also be used by educational institutions and organisations in Rwanda. This three-year-project involves researchers from the University of Gothenburg, Sweden, and the University of Kigali and the University of Rwanda in Rwanda, who collaborate by conducting document search and analysis, interviews with officials and politicians, with citizens (including video-recorded walk-along interviews), focus group discussions and workshops about how to use and reuse the digital interactive map as well as pedagogical development. Gatuskyltar betyder något. De ingår i det språkliga landskapet som omger oss. De visar på vad som har varit och de pekar mot framtiden. Gatuskyltar i Kigali och andra städer byttes i 2011-2012 ut och ändrade utseende. De nya skyltarna använder ett nytt språk, engelska, som bara talas av en elit. De gamla skyltarna använde nationalspråket kinyarwanda och franska.   Namn- och språkbyten råkar inte bara hända – de är val som visar ideologier och sociala och politiska skeenden. Majoriteten av befolkningen som talar sitt eget modersmål, kinyarwanda, påverkas av sådana val.I Rwanda talar man inte engelska utan kinyarwanda med varandra på alla nivåer i samhället. Engelska har introducerats i Rwanda som en följd av folkmordet i 1994 och återkomsten av den nya politiska maktelit som kom tillbaka till landet efter långvarig landsflykt i grannländer där engelska är officiellt språk. Engelska, som verkar symbolisera det nya moderna Rwanda, fritt från kolonialt arv, lär man sig genom skolsystemet och språket har fått ytterligare status genom att nyligen bli upphöjt till undervisningsspråk.Huvudstaden Kigali är mitt i en process där den gamla centrumbebyggelsen ersätts av höga och moderna byggnader som även dessa symboliserar det nya Rwanda.  Beslutet att byta ut gatuskyltarna – och även att ändra andra namn – är politiska beslut som påverkar invånarnas identitet och känsla av tillhörighet.Projektet kombinerar utvecklingsforskning, sociolingvistik (forskning om språk och samhälle) och namnforskning. Denna kombination av olika forskningsfält är ny.Mot denna bakgrund har projektet tre delmål:1) att undersöka vilka ideologier som ligger till grund för tidigare namnpraxis och för de val man har gjort för omdöpning av alla gatunamn i Rwanda, samt på vilka nivåer besluten har fattats; 2) att fastställa hur de nya gatuskyltarna påverkar hur människor rör sig i den urbana miljön, undersöka känsla av sammanhållning och tillhörighet bland de kvinnor och män som använder Kigalis gator, samt analysera om myndigheternas beslut ifrågasätts eller accepteras; 3) att synliggöra de medverkandes upplevelser och minnen av platser i det språkliga landskapet genom att utveckla en interaktiv karta (baserad på en OpenStreetMap) där foto och korta texter laddas upp.Den webbaserade kartan kan användas av lärare och studenter i Rwanda, samt vidareutvecklas för lokala organisationer.  Workshops om pedagogik och framtida användningsområden kommer att hållas i samarbete med University of Kigali och University of Rwanda. Genom workshops i Rwanda kommer projektet att medverka till ett ökat forsknings- och pedagogiskt utbyte mellan forskare, lärare och studenter.Den svenska och den rwandiska forskaren som medverkar i projektet, kommer att använda olika metoder och aktiviteter för att fånga projektets tre huvudmål: Arkivforskning och kvalitativ analys av dokument, intervjuer med representanter för staten, fotodokumentation med hjälp av geografiskt informationssystem (GIS), ljudinspelningar av intervjuer och videoinspelningar under vandringar i Kigalis gator, fokusgrupp-diskussioner med kvinnor och män ur olika åldersgrupper och med olik bakgrund, workshops om användning och vidareutveckling av den digitala kartan som tas fram samt om interaktiva metoder.Genom att använda olika ingångar och metoder vill projektet belysa hur politiska beslut om språk spelar en väsentlig roll för individens delaktighet i samhället och för hur samhället utvecklas.  Detta är en aspekt som inte lyfts i rapporter och diskussioner om utveckling i låginkomstländer.När språk blir en faktor som antingen inkluderar eller exkluderar, beroende på utbildningsnivå eller socio-ekonomiska status, måste detta lyftas fram i utvecklingsdebatten. Därför är det viktigt att vanliga människors erfarenheter och röster om språk och offentliga texter i stadens gator kommer fram och når beslutsfattare.

Extensive research shows that Black Soldier Fly (BSF) farming can convert organic waste into high-quality, low-cost livestock feed or organic fertilizers for agricultural production. There are many benefits of local feed and fertilizer production, especially in low-income countries dependent on local agriculture. In Benin, BSF farming could alleviate socio-economic and environmental issues by reducing the adverse impacts of inadequate waste management, providing local feed and improving agricultural productivity.This project will evaluate and characterize the products, benefits and risks involved with BSF farming in Benin. Socio-economic impacts of BSF farming and products will also be assessed to ensure viability for farmer´s households. To achieve these goals we will upscale a BSF pilot farm into a full-scale facility in Benin by enabling technology and knowledge exchange with a facility in Sweden. This is a multidisciplinary project addressing challenges related to economic and environmental sustainability lead by a cross-disciplinary team of socio-economists, product innovation specialists and ecologists. This project holds great potential to support sustainable agricultural production and develop a circular economic business opportunity in the waste management sector. Kronisk brist på livsmedelssäkerhet och växande avfallshögar är stora hinder till utveckling, fred och välfärd i Västafrika. Fokus för detta projekt är att bidra till en lösning för dessa stora problem genom att utforska potentialen av en innovativ avfallkomposteringslösning som baseras på uppfödning av den tropiska insekten den Amerikanska vapenflugan (Hermetia illucens L.) i Benin.Benin har en av den högsta befolkningstillväxttakten i världen, samtidigt som tillgången till livsmedel.  Den ojämna och opålitliga produktiviteten i jordbruket leder till stor livsmedelsosäkerhet, vilket delvis beror på brist på hållbara och billiga foder till produktion av höns, grisar och fisk, delvis på låg jordbördighet som beror på brist på tillgång till gödselmedel för att berika jordarna. Den befolkningstillväxten leder också till ökad mängd avfall, som leder till miljöförstöring.I Benin driver nästa alla småbrukare djurproduktion, trots att kvalitetsdjurfoder är för dyra i regionen. Istället används alternativa, lågkvalitetsfoder som påverkar kvaliteten på det producerade köttet, fisken och äggen, och i slutändan ökar hushållens utsatthet för livsmedelsosäkerhet. Detta beror på att otjänligt djurfoder leder till lägre omvandling av djurfoder till djurprotein, således ökar priset på djurfoder. Därtill är 75% av regionens jordar utarmade, medan konstgödsel i Västafrika är för dyrt för att bönder ska ha råd. Ett annat stort problem som redan nämnts är ökningen av organiskt avfall som antingen hamnar på deponi, eller dumpas direkt i miljön. Uppfödning fluglarver kan på ett hållbart vis påverka alla dessa tre problem på samma gång.  Larven av den amerikanska vapenflugan kan kompostera, alltså födas upp på, olika organiska avfallsströmmar och i processen koncentrera högkvalitativt protein i sin biomassa som sedan kan användas som proteinkälla i djurfoder. Den amerikanska vapenflugan är en inhemsk flugart i Benin och forskning pågår för närvarande om deras ekologi på IITA-Benin. För att skala upp den nuvarande flugkolonin till en storskalig flugodling, och för att anpassa teknologin till olika lokala förhållanden så behövs forskning och stöd. Vidare, behöver den sociala acceptansen av denna nya teknologi utvärderas för att lyckas överföra denna teknologi till småbrukare såväl som storskaliga lantbruk. För detta syfte har vi satt ihop en tvärvetenskaplig grupp av experter inom sociologi, lantbruksekonomi, beteendevetenskap, såväl som experter inom flugekologi och fluglarvskompostering i Sverige och Benin, för att driva utvecklingen av fluglarvsteknologin i Västafrika. Syftet med detta projekt är att utvärdera fluglarvskompostering med den amerikanska vapenflugan med avseende på processeffektivitet, produktkvalitet, riskhantering för teknikanpassning av denna teknologi till Benin, som sedan kan tillämpas i andra västafrikanska länder. Vi kommer samtidigt att söka upp intressentmålgrupper, framförallt låginkomstbönder, kvinnor och unga entreprenörer, och utvärdera vilken påverkan implementering av fluglarvsteknologin och framställning av dessa värdefulla produkterna har på socioekonomiska parametrar. Det är värt att notera att majoriteten av småbrukarna i Benin är kvinnor, vilket öppnar för möjligheten att utvärdera hur könsperspektivet kan påverka i en sådan här jordbruksinnovation i Benin och att använda dessa lärdomar för att främja jämställdhet mellan könen. I detta projekt kommer vi att skala upp en småskalig flugkoloni till en fullskalig odlingsanläggning i Benin genom att överföra teknik-, och kunskapsöverföring från en världsledande forskningsanläggning i Sverige. Detta projekt har stor potential att öka hållbar produktivitet i lantbruket och presenterar könsneutrala cirkulärekonomiska affärsmöjligheter i Benin.

Conventional explanations point to national interests that drive actors in the Middle East to project their power into the Horn of Africa--a view that casts African actors as mere spectators in a geopolitical game. Instead, this project´s point of departure is that Middle Eastern and African actors are co-designers of their relations. Building upon the field of critical geopolitics, we suggest that political interaction between states are not merely driven by given (geopolitical and geoeconomic) interests but rely on the establishment of a common ideational ground. Those “geocultural” narratives build, for example, on the construction of shared pasts or joint futures. Hence, the project asks: How are the narratives that inform the political, economic and social interation across the Red Sea negotiated, established and justified? Exploring three cases of intense engagement, namely (i) peace and security, (ii) infrastructure and (iii) labour migration, this project aims at rendering visible the formation and settling of narratives that constitute the common ground on which new political formations are built in the region. Det regionala samarbetet i Rödahavsregionen, mellan länder på Afrikas horn och länder i Mellanöstern har expanderat betydligt och tagit nya former under de senaste åren. Vi ser en kraftig ökning av investeringar från länder i Mellanöstern, bland annat i storskaliga infrastrukturprojekt som till exempel längs den strategiskt placerade Bab-el-Mandeb-sträckan. Ett stort antal militärbaser har etablerats på Afrikas horn, till exempel av Saudi Arabien och Turkiet i Djibouti och Somalia. Vidare har Gulfstater agerat medlare i långvariga konflikter mellan afrikanska stater, som till exempel i fredsförhandlingarna mellan Etiopien och Eritrea. Lägg därtill den omfattande arbetskraftinvandringen från Etiopien och andra afrikanska länder till framför allt Qatar, Förenade Arabemiraten, Saudi Arabien och Libanon. Följande projekt ställer sig frågan hur vi ska förstå dessa geopolitiska förändringar. Handlar det om ännu ett geopolitiskt spel där rivaliserande stater kämpar om makt och inflytande, inte minst militärt och ekonomiskt? Har staterna på Afrikas horn enbart blivit en bricka i den pågående regionala maktkampen i Mellanöstern?Följande projekt förhåller sig kritiskt till rådande geopolitiska antagande om orsakerna till den regionala utvecklingen i Rödahavsregionen. Istället antar projektet en kritiskt geopolitisk utgångspunkt som betonar historiska och kulturella band och identitet som viktiga faktorer för att förstå utveckling och samarbete mellan stater och regioner. En utgångspunkt inom kritisk geopolitik är att ifrågasätta och undersöka hegemoniska staters makt och inflytande och deras möjlighet att styra den geopolitiska utvecklingen. Ansatsen är kritisk till att behandla ”mottagande” stater, till exempel staterna på Afrikas horn, som passiva aktörer. Istället betonar ansatsen nödvändigheten att ta hänsyn till kontexten, de lokala och regionala förhållandena, och de olika aktörernas, i detta fall, afrikanska staternas, möjlighet till agens, handlingsutrymme och påverkan, vid sidan av staterna i Mellanöstern. Projektets syfte är att undersöka berättelser, så kallade narrativer, om regionalt samspel och utveckling i Rödahavsregionen. Narrativer konstruerar en verklighetsbild genom att peka på nutida och historiska skeenden, orsaker och framtida implikationer. Berättelserna är avgörande för att överenskommelser ska ta form, förhandlas fram och legitimeras. Geopolitiska ställningstagande, uttryckta i narrativer, är inte uteslutande etablerade på formella politiska arenor, utan tar även form och utvecklas på arenor som utmärks av experter, affärsmän, media och populärkulturen. Projektet avser undersöka hur berättelser konsolideras och/eller marginaliseras på olika arenor för att nå en fördjupad förståelse av den mångsidiga och dynamiska utvecklingen i regionen. Projektets huvudfrågeställning är: Hur förhandlas, förankras och legitimeras olika berättelser om regionalt samarbete i Rödahavsregionen? Empiriskt genererar projektet ny kunskap om den omvälvande utvecklingen i Rödahavsregionen, en hitintills förbisedd region i forskning och policystudier. Teoretiskt bidrar projektet med ny kunskap då det vidareutvecklar den kritiska geopolitiska teoribildningen genom ett tydligare fokus på historiska och idémässiga förklaringsfaktorer samt genom att visa på hur en mångfald aktörer förhandlar fram och legitimerar geopolitiska idébärande berättelser på olika arenor i samhället. Policyrelevansen är tydligt kopplad till frågor om fred och säkerhet, migration, jämställdhet, mänskliga rättigheter och ekonomisk utveckling i Rödahavsregionen.Metodologiskt fokuserar projektet på tre arenor och tre fall. De tre fallen är; fred och säkerhet, infrastruktur och migration. De tre arenorna där narrativen studeras utgörs av den formella arenan (regeringsuttalanden, avtal etc.), praktiska arenan (policydokument, expertrapporter etc.) och den populära arenan (offentliga tillställningar, bloggar etc.).

Det regionala samarbetet i Rödahavsregionen, mellan länder på Afrikas horn och länder i Mellanöstern har expanderat betydligt och tagit nya former under de senaste åren.

Istället antar projektet en kritiskt geopolitisk utgångspunkt som betonar historiska och kulturella band och identitet som viktiga faktorer för att förstå utveckling och samarbete mellan stater och regioner. En utgångspunkt inom kritisk geopolitik är att ifrågasätta och undersöka hegemoniska staters makt och inflytande och deras möjlighet att styra den geopolitiska utvecklingen.

Narrativer konstruerar en verklighetsbild genom att peka på nutida och historiska skeenden, orsaker och framtida implikationer.

Resilient health systems can adapt their health services in response to shocks like COVID-19. Resilience is closely linked to community trust and the interactions between actors in the system. However, very little is known about the ways in which the private, for-profit health services sectors contributes to the health system’s ability to manage resilience. By studying the Zambian health system during COVID, the project aims to better understand how the private, for-profit health services sector contributes to the health system’s capacity to manage resilience during shocks. During COVID, changes in service delivery in public and private health facilities will be identified and explored using facility data and semi-structured interviews. A social network analysis and stakeholder interviews will assess interactions between private and public health service actors. Focus group discussions and interviews with community members will be used to understand trust in the private compared to public health services. Exploring the private sector’s role in resilience will help to improve interdependence among health system sectors and strengthen the community’s trust and ownership in the system, ultimately building resilience for future shocks.

An efficacious vaccine is urgently needed. Vaccine design is challenged by difficulties in identifying the specific antigens against which protective antibodies are directed. Given the extensive diversity of many parasite antigens, immunity is believed to require an antibody repertoire against multiple antigen variants. The aim of this project is to improve the understanding the naturally acquired immunity to malaria, focusing on antigen diversity and maintenance of immunity. The project will explore antigen diversity focusing on polymorphic merozoite surface proteins, in relation to antibody and memory B cell responses and their role in protection. A newly developed sequencing method will allow characterization of antigen diversity across geographical areas, and design of a peptide microarray and recombinant antigens that will be used to investigate the breadth, magnitude and cross-reactivity of antibody responses. Memory B cell responses will be assessed using a newly developed multiplex B cell FluoroSpot method. Studies are performed in longitudinal cohort in Kenya and Tanzania, as well as travelers treated for malaria in Sweden. The project builds on close collaboration between researchers Kenya, Tanzania and Sweden and involves joint PhD students. The overall goal is to contribute to the development of an efficacious multicomponent vaccine against malaria. Malaria förblir ett av de stora globala hälsoproblemen med hög sjuklighet och dödlighet särskilt hos barn i Afrika söder om Sahara. Ett effektivt vaccin behövs för att bekämpa och utrota malaria på sikt. Utmaningen med att utveckla effektiva vaccin mot malaria är att parasiten har stor genetisk variabilitet och att immuniteten är stamspecifik. Dessutom behöver skyddet kunna upprätthållas över tid. Individer som bor i endemiska områden utvecklar, efter upprepade infektioner, immunitet som skyddar mot all bli sjuk vid när de smittas med malariaparasiter. Antikroppar är viktiga i detta skydd. En ökad förståelse för hur denna naturliga immunitet utvecklas och bibehålls och hur antikroppar skyddar mot olika varianter av parasitantigen behövs för att vägleda vaccinutvecklingen. Syftet med detta projekt är att studera hur immuniteten mot malaria utvecklas, med fokus på variabla parasitantigenen och upprätthållande av immunitet. Den genetiska mångfalden av variabla antigen kommer att studeras i olika geografiska områden med en ny sekvenseringsmetod. Vidare kommer vi att utrycka antigen som vi kommer att använda för analyser av antikropps- och minnessvar efter malariainfektion och studera hur dessa korrelerar till skydd mot malaria. Studierna kommer att utföras i Kenya och Tanzania där barn och vuxna följs över tid med avseende på malariainfektioner, och även på resenärer behandlade för malaria i Sverige. Projektet bygger på samarbeten med forskargrupper i Kenya och Tanzania och gemensamma doktorander. Projektet förväntas bidra till utveckling av ett effektivt multikomponentvaccin mot malaria.

An efficacious vaccine is urgently needed. Vaccine design is challenged by difficulties in identifying the specific antigens against which protective antibodies are directed. Given the extensive diversity of many parasite antigens, immunity is believed to require an antibody repertoire against multiple antigen variants. The aim of this project is to improve the understanding the naturally acquired immunity to malaria, focusing on antigen diversity and maintenance of immunity. The project will explore antigen diversity focusing on polymorphic merozoite surface proteins, in relation to antibody and memory B cell responses and their role in protection. A newly developed sequencing method will allow characterization of antigen diversity across geographical areas, and design of a peptide microarray and recombinant antigens that will be used to investigate the breadth, magnitude and cross-reactivity of antibody responses. Memory B cell responses will be assessed using a newly developed multiplex B cell FluoroSpot method.

The school has two overarching objectives: (1) to contribute to high-quality and boundary-crossing doctoral research in the focus area; and (2) to strengthen collaboration and networks between the four partner universities and between individual doctoral students within and beyond these universities. The school is organised as a partnership between the universities of Lund, Gothenburg and Uppsala, and the University of Ghana. While the school is coordinated and administered by Lund University, a programme committee and an international advisory board will oversee its work. The school will be open to doctoral students from the four partners but also from other universities and from any discipline. The work program is structured in five activities: (a) jointly developed interdisciplinary doctoral courses, (b) a monthly research seminar, (c) policy dialogues with invited guests intended to bridge the gap between research and policy, (e) a mobility programme, and (e) other capacity-building and skills training activities.

The school has two overarching objectives: (1) to contribute to high-quality and boundary-crossing doctoral research in the focus area; and (2) to strengthen collaboration and networks between the four partner universities and between individual doctoral students within and beyond these universities. The school is organised as a partnership between the universities of Lund, Gothenburg and Uppsala, and the University of Ghana. While the school is coordinated and administered by Lund University, a programme committee and an international advisory board will oversee its work. The school will be open to doctoral students from the four partners but also from other universities and from any discipline. The work program is structured in five activities: (a) jointly developed interdisciplinary doctoral courses, (b) a monthly research seminar, (c) policy dialogues with invited guests intended to bridge the gap between research and policy, (e) a mobility programme, and (e) other capacity-building and skills training activities. Through its work, the school seeks to close a major gap in Swedish doctoral training.

This research, in a Swedish-Palestinian collaboration, aims at answering three main questions: i) what are digital rights in the Palestinian context? ii) How could the Palestinian basic law be used as an instrument to constitutionally protect digital rights? iii) What is the role of the Palestinian Supreme Constitutional Court in protecting digital rights within its main interpretative function?The questions pay a great attention to legal and political challenges surrounding the situation in relation to sustainable development goals 5: Achieve gender equality, and 16: Build effective, accountable and inclusive institutions. This topic has not been explored at the Palestinian level yet, where an urgent need emerges to fill the gaps in knowledge and provide for a comprehensive research on constitutionalism of digital rights. In doing so, a series of workshops, discussions, applications for grants, research stays for a joint and long-term collaboration will take place.This collaboration will be implemented in two years and will result in scientific publications. It contributes to building of scholarly capacities, conducting proper examination of digital rights protection at the constitutional level, and learning from identified best practice on the subject. The project has a great potential in contributing to the Swedish policy for sustainability in Palestine. Detta projekt syftar till att etablera ett palestinskt-svenskt tvärvetenskapligt forskningsnätverk relaterat till konstitutionella digitala rättigheter i Palestina. Nätverket kommer att undersöka skyddet av digitala rättigheter i Palestina och vilken roll den palestinska Högsta Konstitutionella Domstolen spelar I ljuset av grundlagen (konstitutionen). Projektet kommer att identifiera implikationerna av inskränkningar av digitala teknologier för mänskliga rättigheter, genom att studera tre områden: 1) digitala rättigheter i den palestinska kontexten; 2) användandet av grundlagen som ett instrument för att genom konstitutionen försvara digitala rättigheter, och 3) den roll Högsta Domstolen spelar för att skydda digitala rättigheter med det huvudsakliga syftet att tolka lagen. Samarbetet och forskarnätverket är unikt och originellt i sitt syfte och i utforskandet av ett område av fundamental vikt i den juridiska utvecklingen. De tre huvudsakliga aktörerna i detta nätverk är: i) Juridiska institutionen vid Örebro universitet, ii) Institutionen för globala studier vid Göteborgs universitet och iii) Instituionen för juridik och statsvetenskap vid Hebrons universitet i Palestina. Genom gemensamma aktiviteter och samförfattade publikationer är visionen att detta projekt innebär en unik möjlighet för att skapa ett fungerande och hållbart forskarnätverk och kunskapsutbyte. Projektet kommer att bidra till kunskap om hur digitala rättigheter i Palestina kan skyddas och hur Högsta Domstolen kan tolka grundlagen. Syftet är att stärka kunskapen om digitala rättigheter i Palestina i en tid där många stater inte minst i Arabvärlden på olika sätt inskränker möjligheter till användning av internet och digitala plattformar i en generell och global tendens av krympande utrymme för demokratiska krafter. De sökande förutser att detta nätverk kan ha betydelse för att främja konstitutionella förbättringar och förändringar i Palestina. Nätverket är också relevant för de globala hållbarhetsmålen. Särskilt mål 16 som syftar till att främja fredliga och inkluderande samhällen genom att bygga effektiva, ansvarstagande och inkluerande institutioner på alla nivåer. Ett starkt och trovärdigt rättssystem bidrar till att främja, förbättra och utveckla respekt för digitala mänskliga rättigheter. I tillägg ges uppmärksamhet till mål 5, Jämställdhet, i relation till bildandet av den palestinska Högsta Domstolen. Alla domare vid Högsta Domstolen är hittills män, vilket understryker vikten av att inkludera ett jämställdhetsperspektiv. Samarbetet kommer att implementeras under en två-årsperiod genom en serie av workshops, kortare forskningsvistelser och gemensamma forskningsansökningar med syfte att etablera ett långsiktigt och hållbart forskningssamarbete. Samverkan inkluderar forskare från olika discipliner och bakgrund och baseras på principer om ömsesidig nytta. Nätverkets etablering stämmer väl överens med Sveriges internationella utvecklingsagenda samt samarbete med och bistånd till Palestina och kan bidra till kapacitetsuppbyggnad i det palestinska rättssystemet liksom ett stärkande av Hebrons universitet. Nätverket kommer också att sträva efter att nå ut till policy-skapare, praktiker liksom civilsamhällesorganisationer.

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattningDen Demokratiska republiken Kongo är bland de fattigaste länderna i världen, där ohälsan drabbar den stora majoriteten av befolkningen. Kvinnor och flickor bär det mesta av sjukdomsbördan: fertilitetsgraden är hög, med upp till 6 barn per kvinna, kvinnor saknar preventiv medel vilket leder till oväntade graviditeter speciellt bland de unga.  Mödradödligheten är bland de värsta i världen. Trots att så många som 87% av födslarna äger rum i hälsoinrättningar, förblir dödligheten oacceptabelt hög, vilket tyder på att det är vårdkvaliteten inom sjukvården som är dålig. Sexuellt och könsbaserat våld finns i överflöd, liksom osäkra aborter vilket är en stor bidragande faktor till mödradödligheten. Myndigheterna i DRK har tagit fram en ambitiös strategi för att förbättra den allmänna sjukvården (den s.k. universell hälsotäckning som syftar till att göra sjukvården tillgänglig för alla). Strategin sätter fokus på mödra- och barnhälsovård och sexuella och reproduktiva tjänster och rättigheter. Detta strategiska fokus på mödrahälsa har framhävt barnmorskors betydelse och betonat brådskan med att snabbt utbilda fler samt förbättra barnmorskornas kapacitet.Tyvärr är barnmorskeprofessionen inte så högt värderad i den kongolesiska hälsovården. De är få i antal, är lågt avlönade och saknar ofta den kvalifikation som krävs för att arbeta enligt internationella kvalitetskrav. DRK lider ett akut behov av barnmorskor som kan tillhandahålla omfattande mödravård samt sexuella och reproduktiva tjänster med omedelbara, kortvariga, långvariga och större folkhälsoutfall som beskrivs i barnmorskans kvalitetskrav inom vården. Det finns ett behov av evidens för att styra policyformuleringar som syftar till att främja barnmorskans status som ett förutsättning i genomförandet att den allmänna sjukvården i ett resursbegränsat sammanhang.Den här ansökan avser att initiera och utveckla samarbete mellan svenska och kongolesiska forskare för att undersöka och belysa de hälsopolitiska processer som krävs för att förstärka barnmorskeprofessionen i DRK i implementeringen av den allmänna sjukvårdsstrategin i landet.Samarbetet är mycket relevans med hänsyn till den hälsosituationen och det stora behovet av kvalificerade barnmorskor i DRK. Förbättrad barnmorskors kompetens kommer att rädda milliontals kvinnors liv i landet. Den direkta effekten av detta forskningssamarbete kommer att vara att akademiska institutioner i DRK kommer att dra nytta av de svenska forskarnas och institutionernas rika erfarenhet av att stärka barnmorskyrket, praktiken och utbildningen. Sedan kommer detta samarbete bidra till med analys, evidens och rekommendationer till beslutfattare, DRK:s barnmorskeförbund, barnmorskeskolor och andra intressenter om hur man kan så effektivt som möjligt accelerera barnmorskors insats i genomförandet av den allmänna sjukvården i DRK.Samarbetet är mycket i linje med Sveriges strategi för utvecklingssamarbete med DRK som prioritera bl.a. jämlik hälsa med tyngpunkt på tillgång till omfattande SRH tjänster samt respekt för rättigheter. Utbildningen av barnmorskor är en pelare i detta arbete. Vidare bidrar detta samarbetet mot Karolinska Institutets senaste strategiska beslut att initiera ett Center for Excellence for Sustainable Health for att underlätta bredare och stratstrategiska insatser med Afrikanska akademiska institutioner och forskare för att bidra till hållbar hälsoutveckling i Afrika.

To limit the high mortality and morbidity caused by STIs there is an urgent need to develop preventive and therapeutic interventions against these infections. One of the most significant correlates of increased susceptibility to STIs in women is being colonized with a polymicrobial anaerobic cervicovaginal microbiome. During 2022-2024, we aim to identify mechanisms of host susceptibility to STIs that can inform us on preventive measures as well as drug targets. Genital tissue samples from African women being colonized with a non-optimal (STI-risk associated) microbiome will be compared to samples representing a healthy Lactobacillus-dominated microbiome. Gene expression patterns in the samples associated to the various microbiome compositions will be unravelled by spatial transcriptomics and in situ sequencing. This discovery phase will be followed by validation of the gene expression patterns in an ex vivo genital tissue explant model. As a proof-of-concept for the link between the identified molecular mechanisms and susceptibility to STIs, tissue explants representing various microbiome compositions will be challenged with infectious virus isolates. Strengthening the genital epithelial barrier as well as modulating signaling pathways and immune functions with novel compounds would be important advances to prevent and treat STIs. Men and women differ in their susceptibility to sexually transmitted infections (STIs). While the present study is focused on molecular mechanisms of susceptibility to STIs in the female genital mucosa, we have previously studied similar mechanisms in the male genital mucosa (penile foreskin and preputial secretions). Since then we have improved our technical platforms and can now perform more advanced indepth studies on molecular mechanisms in mucosal tissue. A new project has been initiated by us with collaborators in Uganda to explore the male genital mucosa using these novel methods. Hopefully this can add complementary data to explain why men and women differ in the susceptibility to STIs. Sexuellt överförbara infektioner är förknippade med en hög sjuklighet och dödlighet i låginkomstländer. Konsekvenserna av sådana infektioner kan medföra svåra komplikationer för kvinnors och mäns sexuella och reproduktiva hälsa. Diagnostiska tester, profylax och behandling av könssjukdomar är mycket begränsade i låginkomstländer. Ett av de mest signifikanta korrelaten av ökad känslighet för dessa infektioner hos kvinnor är att vara koloniserad med en polymikrobiell anaerob genitalflora. För att begränsa de negativa konsekvenserna av könssjukdomar finns ett stort globalt behov av att utveckla både förebyggande och behandlande interventioner mot dessa infektioner. Vi kommer i detta projekt att identifiera molekylära mekanismer som är associerade med känslighet för könssjukdomar och på det sättet skapa en grund för läkemedelsutveckling eller andra typer av interventioner. Vävnadsbiopsier från livmoderhalstappen från afrikanska kvinnor kommer att kartläggas för RNA-expressionsmönster och relateras till mikroflorans komposition. RNA-expressionen kommer att analyseras med helt nya molekylära tekniker som möjliggör lokalisering av genuttrycket med mycket hög upplösning till subcellulär nivå i genitalepitelet och dess submukosa. Detta är speciellt relevant då samma molekylära signal kan ge ökad motståndskraft mot infektioner när den uttrycks i den övre delen av epitelet medans samma signal kan skada mukosabarriären i den nedre delen av epitelet. Exempel på detta är vissa antimikrobiella peptider som kan neutralisera mikrober när de uttrycks av epitelceller och utsöndras i genitalsekretet. När de istället uttrycks av exempelvis makrofager och neutrofiler inne i vävnaden orsakas inflammation och vävnadsskada. Efter kartläggning av genuttryck och lokalisation i vävnadsbiopsierna från kvinnor med olika mikrobiomkompositioner så kommer dessa upptäckter att valideras i en experimentell vävnadsmodell. Vävnadsmodellen består av små livmoderhalstappsbiopsier som kan bevaras i vävnadskultur upp till två veckor i laboratoriemiljö. Som evidens för kopplingen mellan de identifierade molekylära signalerna och känsligheten för könssjukdomar så kan dessa vävnadskulturer utsättas för experimentella infektioner.  Kvinnors genitala mikroflora är tyvärr relativt motståndskraftig mot de interventioner vi har tillgång till i dagsläget. Att identifiera nya sätt att förstärka genitalslemhinnan och påverka mikrofloran skulle ha stor betydelse för att begränsa de allvarliga konsekvenserna av sexuellt överförbara infektioner i ett globalt perspektiv. Män och kvinnor skiljer sig åt i sin känslighet för sexuellt överförbara infektioner (STI). Medan den aktuella studien är fokuserad på molekylära mekanismer för mottaglighet för sexuellt överförbara sjukdomar i den kvinnliga genitala slemhinnan, har vi tidigare studerat liknande mekanismer i den manliga genitala slemhinnan (penisförhud och preputiala sekret). Sedan dess har vi förbättrat våra tekniska plattformar och kan nu utföra mer avancerade djupstudier av molekylära mekanismer i slemhinnevävnad. Ett nytt projekt har initierats av oss med samarbetspartners i Uganda för att utforska den manliga genitala slemhinnan med dessa nya metoder. Förhoppningsvis kan detta lägga till kompletterande data för att förklara varför män och kvinnor skiljer sig i känslighet för sexuellt överförbara sjukdomar.

The country is believed to have the largest livestock population in Africa - 53 million cattle, 26 million sheep, and 22 million goats, which contribute immensely to the national economy and food security. However, the resource cannot be utilized efficiently due to many problems, among which a number of important diseases of ruminants that reduce their productivity are of paramount importance. About one-half of all lambs born in the country die due to various causes. Diarrhoea is a leading health problem of ruminants, especially the young stock, causing huge economic loss and affecting food safety and security. The incidence of diarrhoea in calves under 30 days of age varies between 10% and 20%; the disease accounts for about 75% of all the mortality of dairy calves less than three weeks of age. It is obvious that infectious agents, especially in young animals, cause severe diarrhoea that may lead to the death of the animals. The overall purpose of this project is to determine what types of infectious agents, in particular viruses and bacteria, but also protozoa that circulate in Ethiopia for the ultimate goal to put in suitable counter measures to prevent diarrhoea in young ruminant and improve animal health and as a consequence this will lead to more food and improve human health, both directly and indirectly, and economy. Diarrésjukdomar hos barn är kanske ett av de allvarligaste hälsoproblemen i världen. Detta gäller speciellt för länder i ”tredje världen” där miljoner barn dör av diarrésjukdomar eller lider av allvarlig undernäring som en följd av detta. Detta gäller även i högsta grad husdjuren som hålls av fattiga bönder. Dessa djur lider av liknande sjukdomar och även här är det de unga djuren som drabbas värst och många dör till följd av detta. Som en konsekvens av allt detta leder diarrésjukdomar till hunger och allvarlig undernäring av barn. Etiopien är ett land som ligger strax under Saharaöknen (sub-Saharan), med en befolkning på 100 miljoner människor. Landet lider ofta av torka som gör att människor och djur inte kan få tillräckligt med mat och vatten. Därför räknas Etiopien till ett av de allra fattigaste länderna i världen. Många är beroende av sina husdjur för mat och inkomst, speciellt har många bönder får och getter, men även kor är mycket vanliga. Etiopien räknas att ha den största populationen av får, getter och kor i Afrika och boskapshållning räknas som den viktigaste näringen i landet. Tyvärr är det många problem med denna näring och till exempel dör mängder av djur på grund av smittsamma sjukdomar. Som nämns tidigare anses diarrésjukdomar vara ett av de största problemen. Diarrésjukdomar kan orsakas av en mängd olika typer av mikroorganismer som virus, bakterier och protozoer. Hur dessa smittar varierar och även behandlingen skiljer sig åt, till exempel fungerar inte antibiotika mot virus. Väldigt ofta finns varken vaccin eller andra behandlingsmetoder tillgängliga. Man har aldrig gjort någon ordentlig kartläggning över vilka mikroorganismer som ligger bakom diarrésjukdomar hos boskap i Etiopien. Därför kan man inte heller sätta in lämpliga åtgärder som till exempel vaccination eller lämpliga biosäkerhetsåtgärder. Inte heller har man undersökt om dessa mikroorganismer kan smitta mellan djuren och människorna, och vice versa. Detta projekt har därför målsättningen att kartlägga vilka mikroorganismer som cirkulerar i får, getter och kor med diarré. Vi kommer också undersöka i detalj några virus och bakterier som är av speciellt intresse och följa upp om dessa även finns hos barn med diarré. Dessutom kommer vi använda metoder som kan hitta helt nya mikroorganismer (s.k. metagenomik) och vi kommer även studera dessa nya mikroorganismer i mer detalj. Vi tror nämligen att det finns många ännu ej beskrivna virus/bakterier som orsak till diarrésjukdomar hos idisslarna. När vi sedan har fått en så komplett bild som möjligt kommer vi avsluta projektet med en ”work-shop” där vi delar med oss av denna kunskap till organisationer med ansvar för djur, human hälsa och smittskydd i Etiopien, som i sin tur får inleda korttids- och långtidsåtgärder för att kontrollera och behandla dessa. Allt detta kommer leda till betydligt friskare djur och därmed förbättrad hälsa, reducera hunger och fattigdomen för barnen i Etiopien.

Due to rising temperatures, the climate suitability for Vibrio has increased worldwide, with ecosystem-wide impacts on humans and animals. However, in addition to the direct stimulation of Vibrio growth, the changing climate affects other ecosystem components, such as bloom-forming cyanobacteria, that provide habitat and mediate Vibrio persistence in the so-called ecological reservoirs. In such systems, the infiltration of vibrios to groundwater is more likely, and additional pressures, e.g., plastic pollution, accelerate the spread of these bacteria.We propose to develop a framework for the assessment of Vibrio ecological reservoirs and to apply this framework for predicting the diversity and load of Vibrio in ecosystems with regular cyanobacteria blooms. A team of ecologists, microbiologists, chemists, and hydrologists will explore the role of cyanobacteria-driven Vibrio propagation across the freshwater and brackish systems in the Baltic region and Africa. We will also link Vibrio communities in the surface waters to those in groundwater, and evaluate how plastic litter and water use behavior of humans may affect Vibrio persistence in countries with water scarcity. Our findings will contribute to capacity building for microbiological monitoring in developing countries and the development of ecosystem-based management of water resources in Africa. Klimatrelaterade infektionssjukdomar utgör stora utmaningar för hälsoorganisationer runt om i världen. Vibrios är ett av de mest slående exempel på nya (mänskliga) sjukdomar som är kopplade till klimatförändringar. Vibrio är temperaturkänsliga bakterier i marina system, som vanligen förekommer tillsammans  med kitinösa planktonorganismer. Utöver kolera-orsakande Vibrios (t ex vissa stammar av Vibrio cholera) kan omkring ett dussin Vibrio-arter orsaka  sjukdomar, kända som vibrios. Vibrios är en orsak till flera hundra tusen sjukdomar varje år världen över, med V. vulnificus och V. parahaemolyticus som huvudorsaken  till sjukdomar orsakade av konsumtion av skaldjur och fisk. Det finns tusentals stammar av Vibrio. Dessutom förekommer nya infektions varianter som ursprungligen härrör från godartade stammar. Dessa nya infektionsvarianter kan ha utvecklats under så kort tid som 25 år. Stigande temperaturer och förändringar i salthalt har gynnat olika Vibrio stammar som ökat under de senaste decennierna världen över, med ekosystemomfattande påverkan på människor och djur. Förutom den direkta effekten på Vibrio-tillväxten påverkar det förändrade klimatet Vibrios ekologiska miktohabitat eller s.k. ekologiska reservoarer (t ex, algkolonier, kräftdjur, ytvatten och grundvatten) och påverkar således dess överföring till människor. Också, användning av plastvattenbehållare och förorening med plastskräp är andra ekologiska reservoarer av Vibrio som kommer att undersökas. Det finns  emellertid begränsad kunskap  om hur förändringar i temperatur och planktonsamhällen påverkar dynamiken hos sjukdomsframkallande Vibrio-stammar, och nya förebyggande strategier behövs.Vi kommer att utveckla ett ramverk för utvärdering av ekologiska reservoarer för vibrios och undersöka förekomst av Vibrio i områden med framväxande vibrios - Östersjön och flera afrikanska sjöar med omfattande cyanobakterieblomningar. Ett team av ekologer, mikrobiologer, kemister och hydrologer kommer att utforska hur cyanobakterieblomningar kan skapa ekologiska reservoarer av vibrios. Med hjälp av metagenomiska och kemiska metoder kommer vi att bedöma hur planktonsammansättning och ffa cyanobakterier påverkar förekomst av patogena och icke-patogena vibrios. Denna information kommer att kopplas till långtidsfallstudierna i Östersjöregionen och utveckling av vibrios i djurplanktonpopulationer under cyanobakterieblomningar. Vi kommer också att utveckla Vibrio-övervakningsmetoden med hjälp av genetiska verktyg. Projekt resultatet kommer att förbättra förståelsen av Vibrios ekologiska interaktioner samt spridningsvektorer, och nuvarande praxis för förebyggande av vibrios.

Due to rising temperatures, the climate suitability for Vibrio has increased worldwide, with ecosystem-wide impacts on humans and animals. However, in addition to the direct stimulation of Vibrio growth, the changing climate affects other ecosystem components, such as bloom-forming cyanobacteria, that provide habitat and mediate Vibrio persistence in the so-called ecological reservoirs. In such systems, the infiltration of vibrios to groundwater is more likely, and additional pressures, e.g., plastic pollution, accelerate the spread of these bacteria.We propose to develop a framework for the assessment of Vibrio ecological reservoirs and to apply this framework for predicting the diversity and load of Vibrio in ecosystems with regular cyanobacteria blooms. A team of ecologists, microbiologists, chemists, and hydrologists will explore the role of cyanobacteria-driven Vibrio propagation across the freshwater and brackish systems in the Baltic region and Africa. We will also link Vibrio communities in the surface waters to those in groundwater, and evaluate how plastic litter and water use behavior of humans may affect Vibrio persistence in countries with water scarcity. Our findings will contribute to capacity building for microbiological monitoring in developing countries and the development of ecosystem-based management of water resources in Africa. Klimatrelaterade infektionssjukdomar utgör stora utmaningar för hälsoorganisationer runt om i världen. Vibrios är ett av de mest slående exempel på nya (mänskliga) sjukdomar som är kopplade till klimatförändringar. Vibrio är temperaturkänsliga bakterier i marina system, som vanligen förekommer tillsammans  med kitinösa planktonorganismer. Utöver kolera-orsakande Vibrios (t ex vissa stammar av Vibrio cholera) kan omkring ett dussin Vibrio-arter orsaka  sjukdomar, kända som vibrios. Vibrios är en orsak till flera hundra tusen sjukdomar varje år världen över, med V. vulnificus och V. parahaemolyticus som huvudorsaken  till sjukdomar orsakade av konsumtion av skaldjur och fisk. Det finns tusentals stammar av Vibrio. Dessutom förekommer nya infektions varianter som ursprungligen härrör från godartade stammar. Dessa nya infektionsvarianter kan ha utvecklats under så kort tid som 25 år. Stigande temperaturer och förändringar i salthalt har gynnat olika Vibrio stammar som ökat under de senaste decennierna världen över, med ekosystemomfattande påverkan på människor och djur. Förutom den direkta effekten på Vibrio-tillväxten påverkar det förändrade klimatet Vibrios ekologiska miktohabitat eller s.k. ekologiska reservoarer (t ex, algkolonier, kräftdjur, ytvatten och grundvatten) och påverkar således dess överföring till människor.

It seeks mutually beneficial North-South-South research collaboration in the thematic areas of sustainable urban mobility, housing, and urban form. The contextualized issues are inequality in transport and housing mechanisms, high levels of pollution due to fossil fuel dependence, and poverty due to poor economic integration of communities in the urban fabric.The research questions include: 1) How can integrated urban planning in East Africa contribute to sustainable communities through equitable transport, housing, and urban form mechanisms?, 2) What strategies can be explored to decrease pollution and fossil fuel dependence in transport and housing? , 3) How can integrated planning contribute to better livelihoods through local economic activities, linked to housing and mobility? The collaboration will develop a joint research project to study the problem areas described above. Operational aspects of the collaboration will consist of creating synergies in research and teaching, joint thematic workshops engaging relevant stakeholders, pilot activities in selected urban areas to test ideas, and dissemination of knowledge gained.The expected impact is strengthened research collaboration, innovation through pilot testing, and knowledge dissemination through joint publications. The overall goal of this research project is to promote applied research and knowledge in sustainable urban mobility, housing development, and urban form, with a focus on practical and socio-spatial problems in everyday life. The purpose is to contribute to research and development in East Africa based on the use of tested and proven research methods developed at the collaborating universities. It is a joint application developed by researchers at the Department of Spatial Planning, BTH; School of the Built Environment, University of Nairobi, Kenya; Department of Transportation, University of Dar es Salaam, Tanzania; and Center of Excellence in Transportation Planning, Technology and Logistics, University of Rwanda, Rwanda.These universities want to build a common research and innovation environment for collaboration and exchange in both academic and applied research areas and which will include senior researchers and doctoral students. Initially, the research group will organize joint research seminars, workshops and pilot projects to test ideas, concepts and programs that result from workshops, field studies and seminar activities. The collaboration aims to develop research in the field of integrated urban planning for sustainable communities and with a focus on mobility, housing development and urban form.Thematic seminars and workshops will form the basis for the planned pilot projects to test concepts that show alternative paths to sustainable mobility and accessibility, enhanced civic participation in community planning, democratic and equal housing, slum upgrades, poverty reduction and social inclusion. Workshops will be organized in the major cities of the participating countries and involve researchers from participating universities, representatives of local public and private stakeholders.The purpose of the pilot projects, which will be carried out in the cities of Nairobi / Kisumu, Dar es Salaam and Kigali, is to test ideas and models for mobility in these cities, for decontamination and development of slums, for promotion and walking and cyclists, and to test programs and models for the development of local plans and regulations for the protection and improvement of natural environments and green areas, as well as water spaces and parks. The participating universities have good conditions and long experience of collaboration with local planning and development authorities and organizations, especially in targeted efforts to apply new innovations to promote public transport, non-motorized transport such as pedestrians, cycle paths and mobility using electricity and renewable energy . . In low-income areas, supply and accessibility to public services are limited by inconsistent, inefficient, fragmented and segregated urban form. A joint research and development platform will be used to develop and test improved spatial structure and organization that enables and promotes access to basic functions and services such as water supply, stormwater drainage, sewerage, lighting and street life. In addition to the workshops organized in the cooperating countries, two seminars are planned in Karlskrona, one in the middle and one at the end of the project period.

Social network research is critically underutilized in many LMICs. As such, social networks remain poorly understood determinants of health and poverty outcomes and developing interventions remains a persisting challenge. The purpose of the SNI-LINKS Network is to link together expertise and infrastructures of Swedish, Nepalese, and Indonesian partners to strengthen their individual, organizational and inter-organizational research capacities and competencies in network research to inform effective, efficient and equitable social network interventions. Taking a dual perspective on tuberculosis and malnutrition – which represent major public health challenges in Nepal and Indonesia, SNI-LINKS aims to investigate the relationship between networks and precarity, i.e. healthcare and food insecurity, and to refine the processes through which network ties are activated in times of needs, i.e. facilitating pathways into treatment, utilizing food sharing networks. This will be explored through a series of seminars and workshops aided by formative research activities. Partners comprise of HERD International and the Ministry of Health and Population, Nepal; the Department of Public Health, Gadjah Mada University, Indonesia; and the Department of Epidemiology and Global Health, Umeå University, Sweden. Projektet är interdisciplinärt och har sin hemvist i hälso- och utvecklingsforskning, med särskilt fokus på sociala nätverksinsatser för hälso- och fattigdomsbekämpning. Ett grundläggande antagande i forskning om sociala nätverk är att individer inte agerar isolerat utan är verkar i nätverk av relationer och interaktioner. Tidigare forskning visar på samband mellan sociala nätverk och hälsa. Icke desto mindre har lite forskning fokuserat på kunskapsluckor inom detta område i låg och medelinkomstländer (LMIC). Endast cirka 10% av alla hälsorelaterade sociala nätverksstudier härrör från LMIC. SNI-LINKS utgår ifrån antagandet att ett socialt nätverk skapar ett informellt skyddsnät som är ovärderligt för hälsa och välbefinnande i resurssvaga miljöer, där det formella skyddsnätet ofta är relativt svagt. Då sociala närverk är kopplade till makronivåer och tidigare forskning framför allt kommer ifrån höginkomstländer (HIC) är det dock fortfarande oklart om de samband mellan sociala nätverk och hälsa som framkommit är universella och starka nog för att styra interventioner och (hälso-) politiska beslut i LMIC. SNI-LINKS ser också relationers betydelse för fattigdom dvs. fattigdom levs, hanteras, förhandlas och reproduceras i relationer med andra. Frågan om sociala nätverk hjälper till att hantera - eller fly - fattigdom förblir komplex. SNI-LINKS kommer att använda två nya koncept för att studera sambandet mellan sociala nätverk, hälsa och fattigdom. Ett mer holistiskt perspektiv på fattigdom har införts genom begreppet ”precarity”. ”Precarity” går längre än den strukturella förklaringsmodellen till fattigdom och hänvisar till osäkerhet i samband med global ekonomisk och social förändring. Specifikt kommer SNI-LINKS att utforska ”precarity” i förhållande till mat och hälsovård. En nyligen föreslagen ”research agenda for networked lives” presenterade begreppet ”tie activation” som hjälper till att förstå beslut om vem man skall hjälpa, när man skall hjälpa till, hur man bäst kan hjälpa till och om man överhuvudtaget skall hjälpa. SNI-LINKS grundar sig på tidigare forskningserfarenheter från medlemmarna och syftar till att undersöka två hälsoproblem - tuberkulos (TBC) och undernäring - ur ett ”precarity” perspektiv som bygger på den förklarande kraften av nätverk på mesonivå. TBC och undernäring utgör stora folkhälsoutmaningar i både Nepal och Indonesien. Covid-19-pandemin har också påverkat sociala nätverk negativt. Människors fysiska och psykiska hälsa har försämrats och har påverkat utsatta och fattigare grupper oproportionerligt. Både tuberkulos och undernäring har nått oroande nivåer under pandemin i både Nepal och Indonesien, vilket förklaras till stor del av att tillgången till mat och hälso- och sjukvård har påverkats negativt. SNI-LINKS syftar till att stärka medlemmarnas kapacitet och kompetens inom forskning om sociala nätverk för att informera om utformningen av framtida sociala nätverksinterventioner i Nepal och Indonesien. TBC och undernäring hänger ihop och det är därför viktigt att studera både särskilda sociala nätverk för tuberkulospatienter och lokala nätverk för att säkra mat. De specifika forskningsfrågorna, som kommer att undersökas genom formativa forskningsaktiviteter är följande:- Vilka är de vanliga strukturella, funktionella och kvalitetsrelaterade egenskaperna hos tuberkulospatienters sociala nätverk samt hos nätverk som används av medlemmar i lokalsamhället?- Hur aktiveras och används dessa nätverk när det finns speciella behov (dvs behov av tillgång till vård, behov av att säkra mat)?Dessa frågor kommer att utforskas genom en serie seminarier och workshops samt med hjälp av mindre fältaktiviteter.

Social network research is critically underutilized in many LMICs. As such, social networks remain poorly understood determinants of health and poverty outcomes and developing interventions remains a persisting challenge. The purpose of the SNI-LINKS Network is to link together expertise and infrastructures of Swedish, Nepalese, and Indonesian partners to strengthen their individual, organizational and inter-organizational research capacities and competencies in network research to inform effective, efficient and equitable social network interventions. Taking a dual perspective on tuberculosis and malnutrition – which represent major public health challenges in Nepal and Indonesia, SNI-LINKS aims to investigate the relationship between networks and precarity, i.e. healthcare and food insecurity, and to refine the processes through which network ties are activated in times of needs, i.e. facilitating pathways into treatment, utilizing food sharing networks. This will be explored through a series of seminars and workshops aided by formative research activities. Partners comprise of HERD International and the Ministry of Health and Population, Nepal; the Department of Public Health, Gadjah Mada University, Indonesia; and the Department of Epidemiology and Global Health, Umeå University, Sweden. Projektet är interdisciplinärt och har sin hemvist i hälso- och utvecklingsforskning, med särskilt fokus på sociala nätverksinsatser för hälso- och fattigdomsbekämpning. Ett grundläggande antagande i forskning om sociala nätverk är att individer inte agerar isolerat utan är verkar i nätverk av relationer och interaktioner. Tidigare forskning visar på samband mellan sociala nätverk och hälsa. Icke desto mindre har lite forskning fokuserat på kunskapsluckor inom detta område i låg och medelinkomstländer (LMIC). Endast cirka 10% av alla hälsorelaterade sociala nätverksstudier härrör från LMIC. SNI-LINKS utgår ifrån antagandet att ett socialt nätverk skapar ett informellt skyddsnät som är ovärderligt för hälsa och välbefinnande i resurssvaga miljöer, där det formella skyddsnätet ofta är relativt svagt. Då sociala närverk är kopplade till makronivåer och tidigare forskning framför allt kommer ifrån höginkomstländer (HIC) är det dock fortfarande oklart om de samband mellan sociala nätverk och hälsa som framkommit är universella och starka nog för att styra interventioner och (hälso-) politiska beslut i LMIC.

Land is the basis for smallholder farmers’ livelihoods. In addition, African smallholder farmers produce a major share of the continent’s food. Thus, the unequal land distribution is a major obstacle to food security and poverty eradication. It is also a major obstacle to building sustainable societies in general.                                                     Our research on large-scale agro-investments in Tanzania shows that there is an unexplored phenomenon that could contribute to a more equal land distribution: since the early 2000’s many such investments have been cancelled and millions of hectares of land have been left uncultivated. Studying the effects of such cancelled land deals is urgent since they seem to affect smallholders’ land access and livelihoods negatively but also seem to offer opportunities to redistribute land to smallholders. The aim of this project is to explore how cancelled land deals affect smallholders’ land access and livelihoods in Tanzania.The project will provide recommendations on how development policy and global sustainability standards better can support smallholders when land is redistributed, and better mitigate negative impacts of cancelled development projects. This is urgent since Covid-19 causes many cancelled projects when development funds are re-allocated to handling the pandemic. I dag råder en aldrig tidigare skådad ojämlikhet vad gäller fördelningen av mark, inte minst i Afrika där fattiga småbönder kontinuerligt förlorar mark till eliter och privata bolag. Mark utgör basen för småbönders livsuppehälle – för jordbruksproduktion och betesdjur, men även för insamlandet av livsnödvändiga naturresurser. Småbönder står dessutom för huvuddelen av Afrikas matproduktion. Den ojämlika fördelningen av mark sätter därför både fattigdomsbekämpning och livsmedelssäkerhet på spel. Lösningar för att främja en mer jämlik fördelning av mark behövs, men är svåra att hitta. Vår tidigare forskning visar dock att det finns ett outforskat fenomen som kan bidra till en mer jämlik fördelning av mark på Afrikas landsbygd: ett stort antal storskaliga jordbruksinvesteringar för biobränsle- och matproduktion som initierats de senaste åren, har avbrutits då de inte startat någon produktion eller gått i konkurs. För att ge plats åt dessa tänkta jordbruksinvesteringar har stora arealer mark, som ofta användes av småbönder, hyrts ut eller sålts till privata företag. Med starkt stöd från regeringar, biståndsorgan och utvecklingsbanker har totalt 45 miljoner hektar i Afrika (en yta motsvarande Sveriges areal) avsatts för sådan produktion, med förväntningar på ökad livsmedelsproduktion, arbetstillfällen och fattigdomsbekämpning. Svenska biståndsmyndigheten Sida har bidragit  till denna agenda genom att bland annat finansiera ett svenskt sockerrörsprojekt i Tanzania. När projekten avbryts ligger dock marken ofta obrukad och minst 12 miljoner hektar mark uppskattas ha blivit övergiven på detta sätt. Eftersom mark är starkt förknippat med ekonomisk vinning och politiskt inflytande finns det många konkurrerande intressen för övergiven mark. Marken kan läggas under statlig kontroll eller överföras till andra intressenter, men det finns flera rapporter om att marken i vissa fall omfördelas tillbaka till småbönderna. Forskningen på operativa storskaliga jordbruksinvesteringar som nått full produktion har hittills exploderat, men studier på effekterna av avbrutna investeringar är sällsynta. Forskning i Tanzania visar att studier på avbrutna jordbruksinvesteringar är viktiga då de verkar ha betydande negativa effekter för lokalbefolkningen, inte minst avsevärd markförlust och försämrat livsuppehälle. Däremot verkar avbrutna jordbruksinvesteringar även erbjuda en unik möjlighet att omfördela mark till småbönder och därmed bidra till ökad matsäkerhet, stabilitet och fattigdomsbekämpning på Afrikas landsbygd.Projektets syfte är att förstå effekterna av avbrutna storskaliga jordbruksprojekt på marktillgång och livsuppehälle för småbönder  i Tanzania. Genom att studera sex avbrutna investeringar och tillämpa access-teori och ramverk om social rättvisa ska projektet öka kunskapen om vem som får rättigheter och tillgång till mark när stora jordbruksprojekt avbryts och hur detta påverkar småbönders livsuppehälle. Det kommer att bidra med kunskap om vems intressen som har inflytande i beslut kring markfördelning och hur dessa kan ske mer jämlikt. Avslutningsvis ska forskningen bidra med rekommendationer om hur biståndspolicy och globala hållbarhetsstandards kan förbättras för att i) bättre stödja småbrukare när omfördelning av mark sker, och ii) bättre förutsäga och hantera negativa effekter av avbrutna utvecklingsprojekt, något som är särskilt brådskande då Covid-pandemin orsakar många avbrutna utvecklingsprojekt när resurser omfördelas för att hantera pandemins effekter. En mer jämlik fördelning av mark är även betydelsefull för möjligheten att bygga stabila och hållbara samhällen i stort, genom att påverka frågor såsom politiskt inflytande, konflikter och migration. Hur marken fördelas är därmed en högrelevant fråga för flera av de globala hållbarhetsmålen, såsom ’avskaffa fattigdomen’, ’avskaffa hunger och uppnå en tryggad livsmedelsförsörjning’ och ’bygga fredliga och inkluderande samhällen’.

The wild (forest and semi-forest) arabica coffee constitutes nearly 80% of Ethiopia’s coffee production and export. However, disease outbreaks are increasingly threatening its gene pool to the extent that it is categorized as Endangered. Coffee berry disease (CBD) caused by a fungal pathogen Colletotrichum kahawae is a major factor having profound effects on wild coffee diversity and productivity. Integrating farmers’ knowledge, phenotypic and molecular marker based screening of its gene pool, and use of plant promoting and pathogen antagonizing microbes is vitally important to control CBD. This project is proposed to explore different means of managing CBD. These include assessing farmers’ CBD related knowledge, characterizing the pathogen, identification of susceptible and resistant genotypes through greenhouse experiments, and collecting and characterizing coffee associated microbes. Transcriptome analyses for identification of genes that differ among resistant and susceptible genotypes followed by comparative genomics to identify CBD resistance genes and its associated markers will also be conducted. The results will be useful for developing integrated CBD management strategy after further research. It also adds new information to coffee genomics that advances its utilization for conservation and breeding. Etiopiens ekonomi och export är till stor del beroende av den nationella jordbruksproduktionen. Arabicakaffe (Coffea arabica) är en inhemsk producerad vara som bidrar till en stor del av landets ekonomi vilket gör att den även benämns som det ”gröna guldet”. Faktum är att arabicakaffe är en inkomstkälla till nästan 14% av befolkningen och har ett stort kulturellt värde. Etiopien exporterar arabicakaffe av hög kvalitet med en unik arom och smak som har sitt ursprung i odlade och vilda skogsvarianter. Den vilda kaffepopulationen i landet utgör en mycket viktig genetisk resurs för produktion och förädling av nya sorter av arabicakaffe. Internationella naturvårdsunionen bedömde nyligen det vilda arabicakaffet som utrotningshotat och dess produktion och produktivitet sjunker. Detta får enorma följder för den lokala industrin samt nationella såväl som internationella marknaden då miljoner människor är beroende av kaffeproduktionen längs hela dess värdekedja. Återkommande torkperioder orsakade av klimatförändringar, minskade habitat till följd av en snabb befolkningstillväxt samt abiotisk- och biotisk stress har en djupgående inverkan på kaffeproduktionen i Etiopien.Den viktigaste sjukdomen hos kaffebönan är CBD (coffee berry disease) som orsakas av svampen Colletotrichum kahawae. Sjukdomen är allvarligast för den vilda kaffepopulationen eftersom dess miljö med varmare temperaturer och högre relativ luftfuktighet är särskilt gynnsam för patogenen. Patogenen infekterar den gröna kaffebönan vilket reducerar råvarukvalitet och därmed marknadsvärdet på bönan. Rapporter visar att CBD kan orsaka avkastningsförluster på uppåt 80% och bara i Etiopen leder detta till ekonomiskt bortfall på över 73,6 miljoner USD årligen. De åtgärder som hittills vidtagits för att kontrollera sjukdomen såsom fungicider, traditionella insatser och introduktion av resistenta sorter har inte varit tillräckliga för att hantera problemet. Få av dessa insatser har dessutom varit forskningsförankrade. Åtgärden med bekämpningsmedel är inte ekonomiskt hållbara för småbrukarna eftersom det ökar produktionskostnaden med 30-40 % och inte effektivt alls för den vilda kaffepopulationen på grund av svår tillgänglighet och negativ inverkan på ekosystemet.I detta projekt utforskar vi tillgängliga medel och verktyg som kan bidra till en samordnad odlingsstrategi för att minimera CBDs negativa inverkan på kaffeproduktiviteten i Etiopien, såväl som globalt. Aktiviteterna innefattar en fältundersökning i betydelsefulla kaffeskogar i Etiopien i syfte att utvärdera status på, och identifiera hot för den vilda kaffepopulationen. Vi samlar in potentiellt resistenta och mottagliga kaffeböngenotyper såväl som provexemplar av patogenen och mikrober som samverkar med växten, för laboratorie- och växthusexperiment. Lokala lantbrukares kunskap kommer att dokumenteras och experiment för att identifiera gynnsamma mikrober kommer att genomföras. Karakterisering av patogenstammar och mikrober som samverkar med växten kommer att genomföras på DNA-nivå.Sjukdomsmottagliga och resistenta genotyper kommer att användas för transkriptomanalys i syfte att identifiera variation i genuttryck och molekylära markörer som utmärker sig mellan de två grupperna av genotyper. Sekvenserna av dessa gener kommer att jämföras med tidigare publicerade kaffegener som är relaterat till stressresistens. Dessa analyser kommer att tillföra ny data för kaffegenomet och avancera dess användande för bevarande- och förädlingsprogram. Den nya kunskap och data som genereras inom detta projekt och forskningsnätverk kommer att användas för att utveckla och söka andra forskningsmedel samt bidra till ökad samverkan mellan SLU och universitet och högskolor i Etiopien. Projektet kommer också att bidra till kapacitetsbyggnad i Etiopen samt att förbättra användningen av genetiska resurser och metoder för att motverka olika typer av stress för jordbruksgrödor.

Dessa analyser kommer att tillföra ny data för kaffegenomet och avancera dess användande för bevarande- och förädlingsprogram. Den nya kunskap och data som genereras inom detta projekt och forskningsnätverk kommer att användas för att utveckla och söka andra forskningsmedel samt bidra till ökad samverkan mellan SLU och universitet och högskolor i Etiopien. Projektet kommer också att bidra till kapacitetsbyggnad i Etiopen samt att förbättra användningen av genetiska resurser och metoder för att motverka olika typer av stress för jordbruksgrödor.

Many low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) rely on CTs in their national social protection systems, reaching more than 700 million people. CTs are often targeting mothers in order to promote child development and gender equality. However, there are significant knowledge gaps on the link between CTs and child development as well as gender equality: we lack evidence on the cost-effectiveness of CTs relative to parenting programs and on the importance of choosing the mother or the father as the recipient. In this project, we will leverage the new state-of-the-art research infrastructure of an ongoing nationally representative longitudinal study in Tanzania. The ongoing study includes an RCT with a parenting program. This project will implement an unconditional cash transfer (UCT) to 800 households in which we randomize whether mothers or fathers receive the transfer. This will i) allow us to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of a UCT program and compare it to that of a parenting program that is comparable in timing, setting, and the age of the target child and ii) evaluate whether children are better off with mothers or fathers as recipients. Furthermore, we will investigate the effects of gender-targeted CTs on different domains of women’s empowerment, such as decision-making and bargaining power within the household, and on intimate partner violence. Kontantöverföringsprogram når mer än 700 miljoner personer i låg-och medelinkomstländer. Afrika söder om Sahara har erfarit en stor ökning av kontantöverföringsprogram. År 2014 använde 40 länder ovillkorade kontantöverföringar som en del av sina sociala skyddssystem. Studier som utvärderar effekterna av kontantöverföringsprogram har dokumenterat positiva effekter på många områden, inklusive tillräcklig tillgång till näringsrik mat, skolgång, barnarbete, barnhälsa och livsmedelsförsörjning. Nyligen har kontantöverföringsprogram också förespråkats som viktiga för att mildra effekterna av COVID-19 och skydda dem som drabbas hårdast av viruset eller de restriktioner som det medför.Föräldrarna är viktiga för att fastställa de investeringar som är avgörande för barnets utveckling, från beteendet under graviditeten (t ex alkoholkonsumtion och våld) till matning, läsning, lek och användandet av utbildnings- och hälsotjänster. I många låg- och medelinkomstländer så får många barn inte den omvårdnad som krävs för att de ska uppfylla sin utvecklingspotential. Kontantöverföringsprogram bygger på föreställningen om att omvårdnaden kollapsar under svåra omständigheter som förorsakats av extrem fattigdom (t ex osäkerhet vad gäller mat, familjestress) och att tillhandahållandet av kontanter kan hjälpa till att förbättra dessa omständigheter. Det förblir emellertid osäkert huruvida det är mer effektivt att erhålla en kontantöverföring än att erhålla information om omvårdnad genom ett föräldraskapsprogram. Tidigare studier har visat att kontantöverföringsprogram är effektiva när det gäller att förbättra barns näringsintag och utveckling och att föräldraskapsprogram är effektiva för att förbättra andra utfall så som språk och kognitiv utveckling. Bevisen är emellertid spridda över tid, sektorer och sammanhang, vilket gör det svårt att jämföra de två typerna av program. I den här studien kommer vi att utforma den första randomiserade kontrollerade studien (RCT) som möjliggör en välgrundad jämförelse av ett ovillkorat kontantöverföringsprogram och ett föräldraskapsprogram. Båda programmen kommer att genomföras i en och samma region i Tanzania, stödja barn i samma ålder (med början innan barnets födelse) och med exakt samma frekvens.En avsevärd del av kontantöverföringsprogrammet riktar sig till kvinnor, speciellt i frågor som rör barn. Argumentet för detta är att det är mer sannolikt att kvinnor spenderar pengarna på sina barn och därför kommer barnen att få det bättre än om fokus låg på männen. Bevisen för detta argument är knappa. I den här studien kommer vi att slumpartat ge kontantöverföringen till antingen modern eller fadern i hushållet vilket gör det möjligt för oss att ge mer bevis i denna fråga. Vidare kommer den s k RCT:n att vara en del av en existerande nationellt representativ studie vilket ger oss en unik möjlighet att generalisera våra rön till regioner utanför studieområdet och att använda resultaten för att bedöma den relativa kostnadseffektiviteten i att rikta sig mot kvinnor respektive män i större skala.Ett annat skäl varför kontantöverföringsprogram riktar sig mot kvinnor är föreställningen att det ökar kvinnornas kontroll över familjens resurser vilket i sin tur ökar deras bemyndigande och leder till större jämlikhet mellan könen. Rönen avslöjar ett blandat budskap, ofta till följd av att det är komplicerat att mäta kvinnors bemyndigande inom familjen. Vi kommer att tillhandahålla nya mått på kvinnors bemyndigande och testa huruvida kontantöverföringsprogram påverkar dessa mått och i vilka aspekter.Våld mellan intima partner har visat sig minska efter en kontantöverföring. Det finns emellertid stora luckor i förståelsen av sambandet mellan kontantöverföringsprogram och våld inom hushållet. Framförallt så är de flesta studier baserade på data från Latinamerika och det finns en dålig förståelse för mekanismerna.

Around 90% of Tanzanians depend on some products or services from the 45 million ha of Miombo. Much of the woodland is degraded into low productivity agriculture. Due to demographic pressure and increasing demands for livestock products, grazing pressure in the Miombo is dramatically increasing in remaining forests.Too high grazing pressure reduces natural regeneration of vegetation, restricts soil C sequestration and impedes water infiltration into the soil. However, it is unknown what “too high” grazing pressure is. We will study soil carbon and water dynamics under different grazing pressure and management regimes in Miombo. Trade-offs and synergies between different production options and ecosystem services will be analysed. We will develop indicators for soil and rangeland health that will be applicable over large parts of the Miombo biome.To understand livelihood options and choices, we will connect the land use studies with gender- and generation sensitive studies of livestock keeping and social relations among pastoralists and agro-pastoralists in the Miombo.We are a group of natural and social scientists from Sweden and Tanzania in a unique position to combine environmental and socio-economic sustainability studies. Results will be of guidance to local livestock herders and to policy makers. Vi är många på klotet, vi blir allt fler, och vår medelinkomst ökar. Det leder till ökad efterfrågan på kött, mjölk och andra animaliska produkter. Hur framtidens jordbruk på ett hållbart och rättvist sätt ska kunna öka sin produktion är en av de största utmaningar mänskligheten står inför. Vi befinner oss också i en pågående klimatförändring där vikten av att våra marker binder kol får alltmer uppmärksamhet. Miombo är ett torrt skogsekosystem som dominerar Tanzania och stora delar av grannländerna. Totalt omfattar det så mycket som 270 miljoner hektar, varav 45 miljoner hektar bara i Tanzania (lika mycket som Sveriges totala landyta). Det har därmed en enorm betydelse för livsmedelsförsörjning och ekosystemtjänster, som att binda kol, i regionen.Miomboskogen ger tillgång till betesmark, ved, frukt, timmer men även möjlighet att producera träkol. En allt större befolkning använder Miomboskogen. När boskapsskötare (pastoralister) trycks undan från andra marker tvingas de till Miomboskogen med sina djur under delar av året. Det medför att den är utsatt för ett allt större tryck med ökad markförslitning, överbetning och minskad del kvarvarande skog.Syftet med detta forskningsprojekt är att hitta metoder för att förbättra och utveckla Miombo för hållbar och ökad produktion av livsmedel men även för att Miomboskogens ekosystem ska kunna vara en viktig del av livsmedelsförsörjning och ekosystemtjänster även i framtiden. Omkring 265 miljoner lantbrukare i Afrika har boskap som sin huvudsakliga, och många gånger enda, inkomstkälla. Boskap är betydelsefullt för en trygg inkomst. Ett av de största problemen för lantbrukare i torrområden är att hålla sin boskap med mat året om. Det blir än värre med längre och mer frekventa torrperioder. De senaste åren har många lantbrukare förlorat ett stort antal av sina djur då de inte haft tillräckligt med foder till dem. De redan utsatta lantbrukarfamiljerna hamnar i en svår, för att inte säga nästan omöjlig, situation. Många gånger är migration enda utvägen, vilket kan leda till konflikter. Detta är redan en verklighet för många.Men Miomboskogen har inte bara stor betydelse för pastoralister utan levererar många typer av ekosystemtjänster. Skogen har bland annat en stor potential att binda kol. Men hur mycket beror på ett flertal olika faktorer och i dagsläget finns stora kunskapsluckor för en hållbar utveckling av ekosystem som Miombo. Ett alltför högt betestryck påverkar föryngring av träd och gräs samt kolinlagring och markens vattenhållande förmåga negativt. Men vad som är ett ”för högt” betestryck och hur markerna och betet bör skötas för en uthållig produktion är dock högst oklart. För att studera utvecklingen av socio-ekonomiska och biofysiska drivkrafter som påverkar markanvändningen i Miombo måste en lång rad aspekter beaktas. Detta projekt är en unik kombination av detaljerade studier av markens kolinlagring och dynamik, vattnets dynamik i marken, betesresurser och betestryckets påverkan samt socioekonomiska förändringar. Vi kommer att angripa frågeställningarna i detta tvärvetenskapliga forskningsprojekt med forskare inom flera olika områden: markvetenskap, husdjursvetenskap, ekologi, samhällsvetenskap och ekonomi. För att besvara de frågor vi har behöver vi jobba brett och vi hoppas kunna hitta helt nya lösningar genom att samarbeta.

Hur framtidens jordbruk på ett hållbart och rättvist sätt ska kunna öka sin produktion är en av de största utmaningar mänskligheten står inför. Vi befinner oss också i en pågående klimatförändring där vikten av att våra marker binder kol får alltmer uppmärksamhet. Miombo är ett torrt skogsekosystem som dominerar Tanzania och stora delar av grannländerna. Totalt omfattar det så mycket som 270 miljoner hektar, varav 45 miljoner hektar bara i Tanzania (lika mycket som Sveriges totala landyta). Det har därmed en enorm betydelse för livsmedelsförsörjning och ekosystemtjänster, som att binda kol, i regionen.Miomboskogen ger tillgång till betesmark, ved, frukt, timmer men även möjlighet att producera träkol. En allt större befolkning använder Miomboskogen. När boskapsskötare (pastoralister) trycks undan från andra marker tvingas de till Miomboskogen med sina djur under delar av året. Det medför att den är utsatt för ett allt större tryck med ökad markförslitning, överbetning och minskad del kvarvarande skog.Syftet med detta forskningsprojekt är att hitta metoder för att förbättra och utveckla Miombo för hållbar och ökad produktion av livsmedel men även för att Miomboskogens ekosystem ska kunna vara en viktig del av livsmedelsförsörjning och ekosystemtjänster även i framtiden. Omkring 265 miljoner lantbrukare i Afrika har boskap som sin huvudsakliga, och många gånger enda, inkomstkälla. Boskap är betydelsefullt för en trygg inkomst. Ett av de största problemen för lantbrukare i torrområden är att hålla sin boskap med mat året om. Det blir än värre med längre och mer frekventa torrperioder. De senaste åren har många lantbrukare förlorat ett stort antal av sina djur då de inte haft tillräckligt med foder till dem. De redan utsatta lantbrukarfamiljerna hamnar i en svår, för att inte säga nästan omöjlig, situation. Många gånger är migration enda utvägen, vilket kan leda till konflikter. Detta är redan en verklighet för många.Men Miomboskogen har inte bara stor betydelse för pastoralister utan levererar många typer av ekosystemtjänster. Skogen har bland annat en stor potential att binda kol. Men hur mycket beror på ett flertal olika faktorer och i dagsläget finns stora kunskapsluckor för en hållbar utveckling av ekosystem som Miombo. Ett alltför högt betestryck påverkar föryngring av träd och gräs samt kolinlagring och markens vattenhållande förmåga negativt. Men vad som är ett ”för högt” betestryck och hur markerna och betet bör skötas för en uthållig produktion är dock högst oklart. För att studera utvecklingen av socio-ekonomiska och biofysiska drivkrafter som påverkar markanvändningen i Miombo måste en lång rad aspekter beaktas. Detta projekt är en unik kombination av detaljerade studier av markens kolinlagring och dynamik, vattnets dynamik i marken, betesresurser och betestryckets påverkan samt socioekonomiska förändringar.

The originality of the project lies in its design and co-creation of research questions that are crucial for tackling global mental health and sustainable development issues. The initiative, involving academia in Sweden and Somaliland as well as stakeholders in Somaliland, aims to investigate the prevalence and burden of mental health problems among children and adolescents in Somaliland. The research agenda aims to contribute scientific knowledge and pave the way for the future design and testing of innovative intervention models and policies based on human rights in line with the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child.

The mobile microscopes are wirelessly connected via mobile networks for AI-based analysis and provide access to diagnostics where there is a lack of medical experts. We now intend to scale up the use of the new diagnostic method in the form of a validation study in Tanzania with the aim of detecting premalignant changes for the purpose of cervical cancer screening and prevention. During 2022-2023 a total of 1,500 cervical smears will be collected and digitized with mobile microscope scanners and premalignant cells detected with a deep learning algorithm. Suspected abnormal cells are verified by a pathologist and treated. In 2023-24 the method´s diagnostic accuracy, technical feasibility, cost and time per test, and acceptance of the AI method is evaluated and compared to conventional diagnostics.Throughout the project, opportunities for larger scale implementation of the diagnostic platform in East Africa are evaluated, with the ultimate goal of achieving sustainable solutions for low-resource settings.The methods have great potential to improve equitable and sustainable access to high-quality diagnostics for cervical cancer screening among women residing in low- and middle income countries, carrying the highest cervical cancer burden globally. Vår forskargrupp har utvecklat och studerat artificiell intelligens (AI) i kombination med mobil digital mikroskopi för att hitta förstadier till livmoderhalscancer tidigare hos kvinnor i resursbegränsade miljöer. Vår nyligen publicerade konceptvalideringsstudie visar att cellprovsanalyser med hjälp av AI kan uppnå en diagnostisk träffsäkerhet som ärjämförbar med analyser gjorda av experter.Den preliminära studien som gjordes i samarbete med ett sjukhus på landsbygden i Kenya och omfattade 740 kvinnor, visar att AI:ns och experternas bedömningarna var snarlika. AI:n hade 96–100 procents träffsäkerhet när det gäller att identifiera patienter med premaligna cellförändringar. Inga patienter med allvarligare, så kallade höggradiga cellförändringar fick ett falskt negativt provsvar med AI-metoden. När det gäller att identifiera prover utan cellförändringar gjorde AI:n samma bedömning som patologerna i 78–85 procent av fallen.Med vår metod kan vi mer effektivt upptäcka och behandla förstadier till livmoderhals-cancer hos kvinnor i framförallt låginkomstländer, där det råder stor brist på utbildade patologer och avancerad labbutrustning.I länder med nationella screeningprogram som syftar till att upptäcka cellförändringar i livmoderhalsen och infektioner orsakade av humant papillomvirus (HPV) har antalet fall av livmoderhalscancer sjunkit dramatiskt. Trots det väntas det globala antalet fall öka det kommande årtiondet, till stor del på grund av bristande resurser för screening och HPV-vaccinering i låginkomstländer.  Livmoderhalscancer är fortfarande den vanligaste orsaken till cancerdöd bland kvinnor i de Afrikanska länderna. Livmoderhalscancer har utöver påverkan på hälsa även stora effekter på fattigdom, utbildning och jämställdhet – som alla ingår i Förenta Nationernas globala mål för en hållbar utveckling. Många av de kvinnor som dör av livsmoderhalscancer är försörjare och vårdnadshavare av både barn och äldre För att erbjuda gynekologiska cellprovtagningar till fler kvinnor globalt behövs innovativa diagnostiska lösningar som tar hänsyn till de lokala förutsättningarna och begränsningarna.I den planerade studien ämnar vi validera den AI-baserade metoden i samarbete med Muhimbili University for Health and Allied Sciences (MUHAS) i Dar-es-Salaam i Tanzania.Vi ämnar samla in 1 500 cervikalutstryk från kvinnor som besöker gynekologiska mottagningar inom MUHAS universitetssjukhus upptagningsområde. Efter samtycke tas cellprover och prepareras enligt etablerad metod (Papanicolau) och digitaliseras med ett mobilt mikroskop, samt laddas upp via mobilnätet till den molnbaserade AI:n. AI:n appliceras för att känna igen olika grader av cellförändringar och metodens träffsäkerhet, tidsåtgång, kostnad per test och acceptans utvärderas. AI:ns bedömning jämförs därefter med två patologers oberoende skattning av de digitala och fysiska proverna.Vår hypotes är att metoden kan användas för att sålla bort majoriteten av cellproverna, vilket kan frigöra tid för lokala experter att granska de prover som uppvisar förändringar.

The mobile microscopes are wirelessly connected via mobile networks for AI-based analysis and provide access to diagnostics where there is a lack of medical experts. We now intend to scale up the use of the new diagnostic method in the form of a validation study in Tanzania with the aim of detecting premalignant changes for the purpose of cervical cancer screening and prevention. During 2022-2023 a total of 1,500 cervical smears will be collected and digitized with mobile microscope scanners and premalignant cells detected with a deep learning algorithm. Suspected abnormal cells are verified by a pathologist and treated. In 2023-24 the method´s diagnostic accuracy, technical feasibility, cost and time per test, and acceptance of the AI method is evaluated and compared to conventional diagnostics.Throughout the project, opportunities for larger scale implementation of the diagnostic platform in East Africa are evaluated, with the ultimate goal of achieving sustainable solutions for low-resource settings.The methods have great potential to improve equitable and sustainable access to high-quality diagnostics for cervical cancer screening among women residing in low- and middle income countries, carrying the highest cervical cancer burden globally. Vår forskargrupp har utvecklat och studerat artificiell intelligens (AI) i kombination med mobil digital mikroskopi för att hitta förstadier till livmoderhalscancer tidigare hos kvinnor i resursbegränsade miljöer. Vår nyligen publicerade konceptvalideringsstudie visar att cellprovsanalyser med hjälp av AI kan uppnå en diagnostisk träffsäkerhet som ärjämförbar med analyser gjorda av experter.Den preliminära studien som gjordes i samarbete med ett sjukhus på landsbygden i Kenya och omfattade 740 kvinnor, visar att AI:ns och experternas bedömningarna var snarlika. AI:n hade 96–100 procents träffsäkerhet när det gäller att identifiera patienter med premaligna cellförändringar. Inga patienter med allvarligare, så kallade höggradiga cellförändringar fick ett falskt negativt provsvar med AI-metoden. När det gäller att identifiera prover utan cellförändringar gjorde AI:n samma bedömning som patologerna i 78–85 procent av fallen.Med vår metod kan vi mer effektivt upptäcka och behandla förstadier till livmoderhals-cancer hos kvinnor i framförallt låginkomstländer, där det råder stor brist på utbildade patologer och avancerad labbutrustning.I länder med nationella screeningprogram som syftar till att upptäcka cellförändringar i livmoderhalsen och infektioner orsakade av humant papillomvirus (HPV) har antalet fall av livmoderhalscancer sjunkit dramatiskt. Trots det väntas det globala antalet fall öka det kommande årtiondet, till stor del på grund av bristande resurser för screening och HPV-vaccinering i låginkomstländer.  Livmoderhalscancer är fortfarande den vanligaste orsaken till cancerdöd bland kvinnor i de Afrikanska länderna. Livmoderhalscancer har utöver påverkan på hälsa även stora effekter på fattigdom, utbildning och jämställdhet – som alla ingår i Förenta Nationernas globala mål för en hållbar utveckling. Många av de kvinnor som dör av livsmoderhalscancer är försörjare och vårdnadshavare av både barn och äldre För att erbjuda gynekologiska cellprovtagningar till fler kvinnor globalt behövs innovativa diagnostiska lösningar som tar hänsyn till de lokala förutsättningarna och begränsningarna.I den planerade studien ämnar vi validera den AI-baserade metoden i samarbete med Muhimbili University for Health and Allied Sciences (MUHAS) i Dar-es-Salaam i Tanzania.Vi ämnar samla in 1 500 cervikalutstryk från kvinnor som besöker gynekologiska mottagningar inom MUHAS universitetssjukhus upptagningsområde. Efter samtycke tas cellprover och prepareras enligt etablerad metod (Papanicolau) och digitaliseras med ett mobilt mikroskop, samt laddas upp via mobilnätet till den molnbaserade AI:n. AI:n appliceras för att känna igen olika grader av cellförändringar och metodens träffsäkerhet, tidsåtgång, kostnad per test och acceptans utvärderas. AI:ns bedömning jämförs därefter med två patologers oberoende skattning av de digitala och fysiska proverna.Vår hypotes är att metoden kan användas för att sålla bort majoriteten av cellproverna, vilket kan frigöra tid för lokala experter att granska de prover som uppvisar förändringar. Vår planerade studie görs på en större och mer diversifierad patientgrupp jämfört med den konceptvalideringsstudien och inkluderar fler prover med olika typer av cellförändringar samt biopsier med bekräftade förstadier till livmoderhalscancer.De mobilt uppkopplade mikroskopen kombinerade med AI:n kan fungera som”virtuell assistenter” och användas som stöd vid screening av livmoderhalscancer.

India is now increasingly seen as a “pre-conception assemblage hub”, where embryos are created and implanted into surrogates who carry their pregnancies to term in countries with no protective legislation. The study will focus on surrogacy and the related practices of oocyte donation and breast milk provision, and linkages between India and the emerging fertility markets in East Africa, with a particular focus on Uganda. Feminist theories of work, political economy and social reproduction theory constitute the theoretical framing of the project, operationalised through mixed qualitative methods in Gujarat and Kampala. The key aim is to provide new knowledge on emerging gendered forms of labour in a rapidly expanding global bio-economy. By analyzing how the current legal landscape in India creates new transnational economies of exploitation, impacting some of the world’s most vulnerable populations, our study offers valuable insights into the mechanisms and implications of technological diffusion, not the least in relation to global inequalities. But the relevance of the project is even broader, given the central role of female reproductive tissues and processes in biotechnologies, which drives the expanding global markets in bodies and body parts. Nya reproduktiva teknologier som IVF, äggdonation och surrogatmödraskap har gjort det möjligt för miljontals människor att bli föräldrar. Samtidigt är tillgången till sådana teknologier påfallande ojämnt fördelad: emedan de högsta nivåerna av ofrivillig barnlöshet finns bland världens fattiga är det huvudsakligen de mest privilegierade skikten av världens befolkning som har möjlighet att utnyttja dessa teknologier. 2020 infördes en lag som förbjuder kommersiellt surrogatmödraskap i Indien, som sedan början av 2000-talet kommit att bli ett av surrogatindustrins globala centrum. Projektet tar avstamp i denna lagändring för att utforska hur den indiska reproduktionsindustrin navigerar runt förbudet genom att omstrukturera sin verksamhet i Indien samtidigt som delar av verksamheten flyttas till länder utan lagstiftning, vilket även innebär möjligheter till expansion på nya marknader. Vi kommer att undersöka spridningen till Östafrika, med fokus på Uganda och dess begynnande, oreglerade reproduktionsmarknad. I centrum för uppmärksamheten står surrogatmödrar, äggdonatorer och bröstmjölksdonatorer – de kvinnor som förser industrin med könsceller och processer utan vilka industrins expansion inte vore möjlig.Den nya bioindustrin har skapat kvalitativt nya former av arbete som exempelvis surrogatmödraskap, där mervärde skapas genom kroppsliga processer. Samtidigt är dessa former av arbete kodade som naturligt kvinnliga och har genom historien nedvärderats och osynliggjorts. Genom att analysera dessa som reproduktivt arbete vill vi bidra till att de synliggörs och uppvärderas. Därmed inte sagt att företeelser som surrogatmödraskap är ett arbete som alla andra. Samtidigt är det svårt att blunda för en samtida verklighet där sådant som tidigare varit fredat från marknadens logik nu finns till försäljning. Den tidigare forskningen är överens om att hudfärg är det enskilt viktigaste kriteriet vid köp av mänskliga ägg, och avgörande för priset, vilket är ett handfast uttryck för denna realitet. I projektet undersöker vi hur det går till när förkroppsligade processer och substanser som graviditet, äggceller och bröstmjölk görs till varor på en global marknad.Vi hämtar teoretiska perspektiv från feministisk forskning som analyserar reproduktivt arbete i relation till värde och värdeskapande inom en kapitalistisk ekonomi. Med fokus på Indien och Uganda utforskar studien nya företeelser och flöden i den globala reproduktionsindustrin. Från att ha varit ett globalt centrum för kommersiella surrogatarrangemang har äggindustrin kommit att bli alltmer viktig i Indien. Landet har förvandlats till ett centrum där ägg plockas ut och embryon skapas, för att föras över i surrogatmödrar som sedan fraktas till länder utan lagstiftning där de tillbringar sin tid som gravida och föder barnen. Vi kommer också att undersöka kopplingen mellan den kommodifiering av bröstmjölk som sker inom surrogatarrangemang och framväxten av kommersiella bröstmjölksmarknader.Studien vill bidra till förståelsen av den snabbt expanderande globala marknaden för kroppar och kroppsliga processer, i synnerhet för hur kvinnors reproduktiva kapacitet blir till en vinstgenererande resurs. På så vis kan vi också ge insikter i globaliseringsprocesser inom det globala Syd. Projektets övergripande syfte är att bidra med ny kunskap om könade arbetsformer inom den snabbt växande bioekonomin. Genom att utforska hur ett förändrat regelverk i Indien ger upphov till nya exploaterande ekonomier kan vi bidra med kunskap om de mekanismer som driver teknologiers spridning i en globaliserad värld, inte minst i relation till globala orättvisor. Det är kunskap som vi också hoppas kan komma till konkret användning i det brådskande pågående arbetet med att utforma såväl nationella som internationella regleringar.

The network includes researchers from India, Nigeria, Sri Lanka and Sweden. The nanomaterials are either fabricated or biogenic, and will be used for improving the properties of dye sensitized and thin film solar cells. For dye/quantum dot sensitized solar cells, nano-structurally modified TiO2 photoanodes, nano-structurally modified electrolytes using nanofibres and nanofillers will be considered.  In the case of semiconductor thin-film solar cells, the development involves novel low-cost ternary and quaternary semiconductor thin films by electrodeposition and chemical methods. One type of biogenic nanomaterial of special interest is siliceous based frustules (exoskeletons from diatoms), that with their intriguing optical properties will be investigated for both types of solar cells.

Presence of chemical stressors facilitate transfer of ARG to bacteria. Although the contribution of ARG spread to global resistance is well understood, the dynamics of resistance spread from the environment to clinically relevant bacteria is currently an enigma. Our research focus on the impact of bacteriophages within such setting - a mechanism that historically has been considered of low importance but where new data is suggesting a key role.We hypothesize that i) bacteriophages can be induced by chemical stressors, ii) phage resistome in induced phages depend on choice of stressor, iii) induced phages are capable of spreading resistance to sensitive bacteria and play a major role in global spread of antibiotic resistance, and iv) by identifying these chemical stressors we may be able to develop tools to monitor and limit the spread of antibiotic resistance.We thus propose to combine time-resolved spatial sampling of contaminated rivers in Bangladesh, South Africa, and Sweden; chemical analysis using multiple techniques based on NMR and high-resolution mass spectrometry; and highly controlled bench-scale gene transduction assays to unravel the dynamics of clinically relevant ARG spread through bacteriophages. This integrative One Health-approach thus fills an important gap in our knowledge of the control of ARG fluxes. Antibiotikaresistens är ett av mänsklighetens största medicinska problem, såväl nationellt som internationellt, i industriländer och utvecklingsländer. Enligt WHO är antibiotikaresistens ett av de största hoten mot global hälsa, livsmedelssäkerhet och utveckling idag. Detta är särskilt påtagligt i utvecklingsländer där användning av antibiotika till både människor och djur är oreglerad. Sedan den gyllene eran då antibiotika infördes har antibiotika setts som en hållbar lösning mot infektioner, men de sista decennierna har visat oss svagheten i detta resonemang. Även om vi initialt kunde behandla det stora flertalet infektioner ser vi numera infektioner som är resistenta mot majoriteten av våra nuvarande antibiotika. Exempel på infektioner som är svårbehandlade är lunginflammation, tuberkulos, gonorré och salmonella. På grund av den snabba utvecklingen och spridningen av antibiotikaresistens tillverkas numera väldigt få nya antibiotika då dessa bedöms bli verkningslösa inom en alltför snar framtid för att vara kommersiellt intressanta.Historiskt har forskning inom antibiotikaresistens av relevans för människa tagit sjukhusen som utgångspunkt, då det är där som behandlingen sker och användningen av antibiotika är hög.

Mauretanien och Senegal är hungersnödda, fattiga länder som rankas på 85:e och 65:e plats i det globala hungersindexet. Längs ländernas gemensamma gräns rinner Senegalfloden, och dess bördiga stränder producerar majoriteten av områdets skördar. Lokalbefolkningen är beroende av jordbruk för sysselsättning och försörjning. Ris är den huvudsakliga grödan som odlas och täcker över 120 000 ha mark. Ris kan odlas under två säsonger: en mellan mars och juni då flodens rikliga vattn kan utnyttjas till bevattning, och en andra säsong mellan juli och november då jordbruket kan dra nytta av de kraftiga regnen. Harmattan pågår mellan början av december och slutet av mars, och enligt tradition är detta en paus mellan de två risodlingssäsongerna. Under denna tid på året har floden det högsta vattenflödet, men de relativt kallare förhållandena gynnar inte risodling. Med stöd av VR UF uppnåddes 2017 lanseringen av supertidiga värmetoleranta durumvetesorter vilka kan uppnå skördar på över 3 ton ha-1 efter bara 90 dagar. Dessa sorter är perfekt anpassade till odling under trädan till följd av harmattan och har potential att producera över 300 000 ton mat, som kan säljas på den nationella marknaden för över 320 € t-1, eller 96 miljoner € i extraintäkter för småbrukare, utan att påverka den nuvarande risproduktionen. Mauretaniens och Senegals konsumenter köper årligen couscous och pasta, vilka importeras som förpackade produkter för över 20 miljoner € , eller i form av 100 miljoner € vetekorn till ländernas tre industriella pastafabrikerna. Hittills har dessa nya sorter odlats på 5000 ha i de två länderna och beräknas överstiga 10% av den aktuella odlingsytan för ris inom två år. De politiska beslutsfattarna i båda länderna har erkänt projektets framgångar och har som mål att nå lokal produktion av vete på över 50% av deras årliga behov. På grund av dessa framgångar och dess potential att säkerställa livsmedelssäkerheten i länderna tilldelades teamet 2017 OLAM-priset för innovation inom livsmedelssäkerhet. Sporrade av utmärkelsen tog andra västafrikanska bönder kontakt med forskningspartnerna och begärde att få frön. Hittills har dessa värmetoleranta sorter odlats med framgång i Benin, Elfenbenskusten, Ghana, Gambia, Nigeria, Tchad och Togo. Dessutom har många länder utanför Västafrika fått god användning av värmetoleransen hos dessa sorter för att skydda sina skördar från stigande temperaturer. Vidare har denna egenskap studerats på molekylärnivå för att hitta fler regioner i  genomet som är involverade i bevarandet av pollenfertilitet vid förekomsten av torra och heta vindar i samband med blomningen, ett kritiskt steg för att säkerställa värmetolerans. Slutligen har tillämpningen av genomiska selektionsmodeller säkerställt påskyndandet av den genetiska vinsten, genom att samla  de bästa genomregionerna och leverera nya, överlägsna sorter på halva tiden.Detta projektförslag bygger på den starka forskningskapacitet som har utvecklats under de tidigare faserna av forskningsprojekt för att försöka definiera den eller de faktiska gener som är ansvariga för värmetolerans. Om detta uppnås kommer det att vara ett otroligt stort steg framåt för hela forskningsområdet. Uppfyllandet av de projektets mål kommer att gynna en bättre anpassning till klimatförändringarna i Västafrika och även globalt, vilket ytterligare höjer produktiviteten och inkomsten för lokala jordbrukare, samtidigt som man stärker självständigheten hos  landsbygdens kvinnor.

Mauretanien och Senegal är hungersnödda, fattiga länder som rankas på 85:e och 65:e plats i det globala hungersindexet. Längs ländernas gemensamma gräns rinner Senegalfloden, och dess bördiga stränder producerar majoriteten av områdets skördar. Lokalbefolkningen är beroende av jordbruk för sysselsättning och försörjning. Ris är den huvudsakliga grödan som odlas och täcker över 120 000 ha mark. Ris kan odlas under två säsonger: en mellan mars och juni då flodens rikliga vattn kan utnyttjas till bevattning, och en andra säsong mellan juli och november då jordbruket kan dra nytta av de kraftiga regnen. Harmattan pågår mellan början av december och slutet av mars, och enligt tradition är detta en paus mellan de två risodlingssäsongerna. Under denna tid på året har floden det högsta vattenflödet, men de relativt kallare förhållandena gynnar inte risodling. Med stöd av VR UF uppnåddes 2017 lanseringen av supertidiga värmetoleranta durumvetesorter vilka kan uppnå skördar på över 3 ton ha-1 efter bara 90 dagar. Dessa sorter är perfekt anpassade till odling under trädan till följd av harmattan och har potential att producera över 300 000 ton mat, som kan säljas på den nationella marknaden för över 320 € t-1, eller 96 miljoner € i extraintäkter för småbrukare, utan att påverka den nuvarande risproduktionen. Mauretaniens och Senegals konsumenter köper årligen couscous och pasta, vilka importeras som förpackade produkter för över 20 miljoner € , eller i form av 100 miljoner € vetekorn till ländernas tre industriella pastafabrikerna. Hittills har dessa nya sorter odlats på 5000 ha i de två länderna och beräknas överstiga 10% av den aktuella odlingsytan för ris inom två år. De politiska beslutsfattarna i båda länderna har erkänt projektets framgångar och har som mål att nå lokal produktion av vete på över 50% av deras årliga behov. På grund av dessa framgångar och dess potential att säkerställa livsmedelssäkerheten i länderna tilldelades teamet 2017 OLAM-priset för innovation inom livsmedelssäkerhet. Sporrade av utmärkelsen tog andra västafrikanska bönder kontakt med forskningspartnerna och begärde att få frön. Hittills har dessa värmetoleranta sorter odlats med framgång i Benin, Elfenbenskusten, Ghana, Gambia, Nigeria, Tchad och Togo. Dessutom har många länder utanför Västafrika fått god användning av värmetoleransen hos dessa sorter för att skydda sina skördar från stigande temperaturer.

These twin public health and poverty crises in low-income countries are intimately connected to policy domains that tend to be prioritized by women citizens and politicians: public health and poverty alleviation. In this project, we ask what happens when a global crisis suddenly shifts global attention towards issues historically prioritized by women. More specifically, this project explores the pandemic’s impacts on (1) the presence of women in political decision-making (descriptive representation) and on (2) the policy priorities and legislative behavior of men and women political leaders (substantive representation) in low-income countries. To address these issues, we use an innovative and ambitious mixed-method approach. We propose five separate studies, including quantitative analyzes of changes in women´s numeric representation and budget allocations in low-income countries, analyses of legislative speech data from thirteen countries in sub-Saharan Africa, a comparative case study of Malawi and Zimbabwe, and survey experiments with citizens in these two countries to gauge how citizens´ demands for women politicians have been affected by the pandemic. Den globala COVID-19-pandemin har inneburit såväl en global hälsokris som en stor fattigdomskris, särskilt påtaglig i världens mest fattiga och utsatta länder. Dessa två relaterade kriser har en nära koppling till politiska områden som historiskt har betraktats som ”lågstatusområden” bland många nationella politiska eliter men som tenderar att prioriteras av kvinnliga medborgare och kvinnliga politiker: folkhälsa och fattigdomsbekämpning.För det första har COVID-19-pandemin inneburit en enorm belastning för hälso- och sjukvårdssystemen i många låginkomstländer. Även om pandemin inte slagit lika hårt mot låginkomstländer som man först befarade har den ändå medfört en stor påfrestning för sjukvården i dessa länder. Dessutom varnar forskare för att åtgärder, som lock-downs, som vidtagits för att begränsa smittspridningen av COVID-19 i utvecklingsländer, kan komma att dramatiskt öka dödligheten från andra sjukdomar, däribland malaria. En andra och kanske ännu allvarligare och långvarigare kris, särskilt i låginkomstländer, är kopplad till de konsekvenser pandemin har haft på fattigdom och fattigdomsbekämpning. För första gången på två decennier förväntas den globala extrema fattigdomen öka, till stor del orsakad av en kombination av den globala ekonomiska lågkonjunkturen och nedstängningar som gjorts i försök att minska smittspridningen. Pandemins sociala och ekonomiska effekter riskerar också att få långtgående konsekvenser för jämställdheten i de fattigaste länderna. Prognoser från FN visar att kvinnor på många sätt drabbats hårdare av pandemin än män, med allvarliga följder för kvinnors försörjning, säkerhet och allmänna välbefinnande. I spåren av pandemin har kvinnors obetalda arbete ökat, våldet mot kvinnor har ökat och kvinnor har varit mer benägna att förlora sina jobb, eftersom sektorer där kvinnor är överrepresenterade har drabbats hårdast av smittspridningsåtgärder. Dessutom förväntats pandemin få förödande effekter på mödra- och barnadödlighet i låginkomstländer genom dess påverkan på rutinhälsovård och livsmedelsförsörjning.I det här projektet undersöker vi vad som händer när en global kris plötsligt riktar det internationella samfundets, regeringars, och befolkningars uppmärksamhet mot frågor som historiskt har prioriterats av kvinnor: fattigdomsbekämpning, hälso- och sjukvård och jämställdhet. Vilka effekter får det för kvinnors politiska representation och makt i låginkomstländer? Ökar kvinnors politiska representation och makt i spåren av pandemin, tack vare kvinnors kunskap och expertis inom dessa politikområden, eller tar den manliga politiska eliten över dessa tidigare lågstatusfrågor och begränsar kvinnliga politikers möjligheter till inflytande?För att systematiskt utforska vilken inverkan den globala pandemin har haft på kvinnors numeriska politiska representation och på könsdynamiker i parlamentet, föreslår vi feminnovativa studier. Dessa studier inkluderar kvantitativa analyser av förändringar i kvinnors numeriska representation och budgetfördelning med ett särskilt fokus på låginkomstländer, en analys av parlamentsdebatter i ett stort antal länder i Afrika söder om Sahara, en jämförande fallstudie av Malawi och Zimbabwe samt ett enkätexperiment med medborgare i dessa två länder som syftar till att mäta hur medborgarnas efterfrågan på kvinnliga politiker har påverkats av pandemin.

För första gången på två decennier förväntas den globala extrema fattigdomen öka, till stor del orsakad av en kombination av den globala ekonomiska lågkonjunkturen och nedstängningar som gjorts i försök att minska smittspridningen. Pandemins sociala och ekonomiska effekter riskerar också att få långtgående konsekvenser för jämställdheten i de fattigaste länderna. Prognoser från FN visar att kvinnor på många sätt drabbats hårdare av pandemin än män, med allvarliga följder för kvinnors försörjning, säkerhet och allmänna välbefinnande. I spåren av pandemin har kvinnors obetalda arbete ökat, våldet mot kvinnor har ökat och kvinnor har varit mer benägna att förlora sina jobb, eftersom sektorer där kvinnor är överrepresenterade har drabbats hårdast av smittspridningsåtgärder. Dessutom förväntats pandemin få förödande effekter på mödra- och barnadödlighet i låginkomstländer genom dess påverkan på rutinhälsovård och livsmedelsförsörjning.I det här projektet undersöker vi vad som händer när en global kris plötsligt riktar det internationella samfundets, regeringars, och befolkningars uppmärksamhet mot frågor som historiskt har prioriterats av kvinnor: fattigdomsbekämpning, hälso- och sjukvård och jämställdhet. Vilka effekter får det för kvinnors politiska representation och makt i låginkomstländer? Ökar kvinnors politiska representation och makt i spåren av pandemin, tack vare kvinnors kunskap och expertis inom dessa politikområden, eller tar den manliga politiska eliten över dessa tidigare lågstatusfrågor och begränsar kvinnliga politikers möjligheter till inflytande?För att systematiskt utforska vilken inverkan den globala pandemin har haft på kvinnors numeriska politiska representation och på könsdynamiker i parlamentet, föreslår vi feminnovativa studier. Dessa studier inkluderar kvantitativa analyser av förändringar i kvinnors numeriska representation och budgetfördelning med ett särskilt fokus på låginkomstländer, en analys av parlamentsdebatter i ett stort antal länder i Afrika söder om Sahara, en jämförande fallstudie av Malawi och Zimbabwe samt ett enkätexperiment med medborgare i dessa två länder som syftar till att mäta hur medborgarnas efterfrågan på kvinnliga politiker har påverkats av pandemin.

The overall objective is to strengthen conceptual, theoretical, methodological and practical work for decolonizing research methodologies. The programme focuses mainly on qualitative research and societal engagement in the humanities and social sciences, and is geared towards data collection, research relations, ethics, and transnational approaches in the organization and implementation of research and research training. More specifically, the programme aims: 1) to critically assess and transform the ways in which qualitative research is organized and implemented; 2) to strengthen the development of empirically grounded and critical research methodologies; 3) to interrogate fieldwork relations and research ethics; and 4) to promote transnational approaches. It is built around qualitative empirical research, and societal engagement through courses (both in situ/in persona, and online), summer schools in the collaborating countries, regular online seminar series, joint analytical workshops, collaborative publications, and a final international conference. It will seek to foster a critical, and yet practically oriented and relevant, academic culture among PhD students and faculty. Den övergripande målsättningen med programmet Decolonizing Research Methodologies är att arbeta för att avkolonisera de sätt varpå empirisk forskning genomförs i praktiken.

However, micronutrient malnutrition or "hidden hunger" is an alarming public health issue in Sudan. More than 80% of the population are iron (Fe) and zinc (Zn) deficient, while about 70% of women and pre-school children have low hemoglobin levels, mainly due to Fe deficiency. These deficiencies cause havoc to the country population through malnutrition, including stunting, respiratory tract infections, malaria, and diarrhea. Breeding pearl millet for increased grain minerals (biofortification) and improving human body processing are sustainable approaches to improving human health and well-being.Considerable variation for nutrition minerals exists in Sudanese millet varieties currently grown, landraces and wild relatives. We will exploit this variation to improve the whole-grain product´s nutritional value by using traditional practices aided by cutting-edge technology to assess nutritional minerals and select the best pearl millet germplasm. This project´s ultimate goal will be achieved through: 1) high-throughput phenotyping; 2) plant breeding strategies of reverse genetics and marker-assisted selection; 3) select superior lines for developing MAGIC population; and 4) Capacity building on research and development.The outcome of this project will develop a cost-effective sustainable solution and breeding methods for genetic enhancement of Zn and Fe in pearl millet Undernäring i form av för lågt intag av mikronäringsämnen drabbar mer än 50% av världens befolkning, särskilt kvinnor och förskolebarn. Här spelar anemi på grund av järnbrist (Fe) och zinkbrist (Zn) en stor roll, och drabbar en tredjedel respektive ungefär hälften av världens befolkning. Tankesmedjan, Köpenhamns Konsensuscentrum anser att växtförädling för ökat näringsinnehåll i grödor är en av de fem högst prioriterade åtgärderna som kan bidra till att minska utmaningarna med för lågt näringsintag. Växtförädling för att öka näringsinnehållet i grödor kan bidra till höga nivåer av mikronäringsämnen i baslivsmedel. Pärl-hirs är en stapelgröda och därmed en viktig livsmedelsgröda i den västra delen av Sudan. Fattigdom är den enskilt viktigaste faktorn som begränsar tillgång till en lämplig diet för den delen av befolkningen i Sudan som lider av undernäring. Det föreslagna projektet syftar till att förbättra hälsan hos fattiga sudaneser genom att införa gener i elitsorter av pärl-hirs som kan bidra till ökat näringsinnehåll, och för att på så sätt både förbättra innehållet och biotillgängligheten av mikronäringsämnen för befolkningen. Processade hirsprodukter kan öka tillgången till mat och bidra till en ökad variation i typer av tillgängliga livsmedel. Genom att använda växtförädling och sortframställning för att berika produkterna med viktiga mikronäringsämnen, kommer projektet att bidra till ökat näringsintag till lägre pris, vilket kommer att bidra till att minska fattigdomen. Minskad mikronäringsbrist hos befolkningen förväntas bidra till ökad produktivitet, mental och psykomotorisk prestanda och aptit, samt främja snabbare tillväxt hos fattiga på landsbygden, där den huvudsakliga dieten utgörs av stapelföda. En direkt tillgång till nya pärl-hirs sorter kommer att bidra till större sannolikhet för ekonomisk avkastning för småskaliga brukare. Projektet kommer att använda avancerad teknik för att nå målen, där flera olika metoder kommer att kombineras, tex. höghastighets tekniker med röntgen för analyser av mikronäringsämnen, molekylära analyser av de Sudanesiska pärl-hirs sorterna, kraftfulla bioinformatik plattformar för dataanalys, utveckling av prisvärd molekylära markörer som kan hjälpa växtförädlare i Afrika att utveckla nya sorter, utbildning av lokala jordbrukare och forskare gällande olika aspekter relaterade till hirs. Ett av projektets mål är att engagera de mest utsatta grupperna av kvinnor på landsbygden, barn, äldre och handikappade genom att inkludera verktyg som delaktighet och engagemang i den föreslagna verksamheten. Eftersom kvinnor har en dominerande roll inom jordbrukssystemet i den västra delen av Sudan, kommer detta projekt ge dem att ha en viktig roll i beslutsfattandet på olika samhällsnivåer. Dessutom kommer det här projektet att avsevärt minska svår undernäring bland spädbarn, barn, gravida och ammande kvinnor för de mest utsatta familjerna i västra Sudan. Huvudsyftet med projektet är att förbättra hälsostatus, livsmedelssäkerhet, minska fattigdom, förbättra försörjningen i samhällen västra delen av Sudan och förbättra de traditionella produktionssystemens bidrag till den nationella ekonomin.

There has recently been an emergence of widespread, vector-borne epidemics, including the zika outbreak in 2015-16 and the current chikungunya manifestation in parts of South America. Additionally, leishmania, malaria and other vector-borne parasitic diseases that are currently endemic in parts of South America are predicted to increase in cases and occupy larger regions with increased temperatures due to global warming. In lieu of ongoing climate change, widespread vector-borne diseases are becoming an increasing threat across Latin America, the Caribbean, as well as Africa and large regions of Asia, and tools to monitor transmission potential are becoming tremendously important. With rapid advances in data-driven science and the massive production of NGS data we have reached the potential of performing informative metadata analyses. The ultimate goal of this study is to uncover genetic information that enables the generation of molecular and computational tools with the capacity of defining vector competence linked to vector-borne diseases. We further anticipate that the tools will be modifiable to encompass studies of vector-competence linked to a broad range of disease, which in light of global warming, have the potential of causing epidemics outside the regions where they are currently endemic. Det övergripande målet för det här projektet är att implementera en datadriven strategi för att kunna förutse värdkompetens hos insekter som sprider sjukdomar, så kallade vektorer. Verktyget ska kunna implementeras för att studera sannolikheten att potentiella vektorer i geografiska regioner runt ett område där ett större utbrott sker, är mottagliga för sjukdomen och kan sprida den vidare. Detta kan på så vis vägleda aktioner för att förebygga smittspridningPå senare år har det skett en ökning i fallen av storskaliga epidemiska spridningar av vektorburna sjukdomar, såsom Zika utbrottet 2015-2016 i Latinamerika. Utbrott av virusen; dengue, yellow fever, och chikungunya har också ökat i sjukdomsfall och spridningen sker ofta oförutsett. Fall av malaria, Leishmania och andra vektorburna parasitsjukdomar i tropiska regioner förväntas också öka på grund av den globala uppvärmningen. Med hänseende till pågående klimatförändringar ökar risken för storskaliga utbrott av vektorburna sjukdomar i flera delar av världen, inklusive Latinamerika, delar av Afrika och Asien. Därmed förväntas också behovet av verktyg för att kontrollera smittspridning öka i relevans. Med den snabba utvecklingen av datadriven biologisk och medicinsk forskning och den enormt höga produktionsnivån av nästa generations sekvenserings (NGS) data, har vi nu uppnått nya möjligheter att utföra storskaliga metadata analyser.Konceptet ”värdkompetens” inkluderar en infekterad värds respons mot en invaderande mikrob, i det här fallet insektens eller vektorns tolerans eller sensitivitet till att en smittsam mikrob lyckas kolonisera insekten och uppnå förutsättningarna för att sprida sig vidare. Värdkompetens är länkat till immunsvar hos värden, exakt vad som bestämmer om en värd är mottaglig eller inte varierar men genetiska variabler som leder till tolerans är generellt konserverade inom en art och kan vara konserverade mellan olika arterMålsättningen för det här projektet är att frilägga genetisk information som tillåter genererandet av molekylära verktyg med kapacitet att studera vektorkompetens hos smittspridande vektorer. Detta kommer vi att göra genom Integrative Trancriptomic Analysis (ITA), av storskaliga NGS dataset. Metoden går ut på att nyttja all data länkad till genuttryck som finns tillgänglig i publika domäner för en viss biologisk process, det inkluderar data från alla relevanta organismer och scenarier som kan påverka den studerade processen. Metoden är därmed inte begränsad till de genetiska vägar som redan är kända. ITA är en nyutvecklad analysstrategi och kan enkelt anpassas till olika biologiska frågeställningar hos olika organismer.I projektet kommer vi att fokusera på insekterna; Aedes, myggan som sprider virussjukdomarna Zika och Chikungunya, samt Anopheles, myggan som sprider malaria och sandflugan som sprider Leishmania. Vi kommer i samarbete med kollegor i Manaus, Brasilien samla in myggor i fält och utsätta dessa för experimentella infektioner med respektive mikrob. Sedermera kommer vi utvärdera vilka som är mottagliga alternative toleranta. Insekter från båda dessa grupper kommer att analyseras för sitt totala genuttryck med hjälp av NGS applikationer. NGS datan används sedan i syfte att ”träna” ITA modellen genom maskininlärning för att förtydliga vilka gener eller genetiska processer som ligger bakom tolerans och sensitivitet mot infektion. Detta kommer sedan att valideras på funktionell nivå med CRISPR (gensaxen) i samarbete med grupper i BrasilienDen slutliga produkten är en bioinformatisk open-access resurs som kommer att kunna användas för att förutse vektorkompetens bland de vektorer inkluderade i denna studie. Målet med verktyget är att kunna replikera nödvändiga delar av denna process för att adaptera det till andra typer av vektorer/sjukdomar, samt att kunna applicera det globalt för potentiella nya sjukdomar i framtiden (epidemic preparedness), samt att människor i riskområden enkelt ska kunna implementera och använda dessa verktyg Sweden The Swedish Research Council The Swedish Research Council +46 8 546 44 000 vetenskapsradet@vr.se www.vr.se Box 1035, 101 38 Stockholm, Sweden Developing countries, unspecified Research/scientific institutions Other Multisector Saknas No indicator available - only a description of the activity results is published SE-0-SE-29-2021-05094-1 Sweden The comprehensive goal for this project is to implement a big-data integrative analysis strategy to predict host-competence in insect vectors that transmit infectious diseases.

Additionally, leishmania, malaria and other vector-borne parasitic diseases that are currently endemic in parts of South America are predicted to increase in cases and occupy larger regions with increased temperatures due to global warming. In lieu of ongoing climate change, widespread vector-borne diseases are becoming an increasing threat across Latin America, the Caribbean, as well as Africa and large regions of Asia, and tools to monitor transmission potential are becoming tremendously important. With rapid advances in data-driven science and the massive production of NGS data we have reached the potential of performing informative metadata analyses. The ultimate goal of this study is to uncover genetic information that enables the generation of molecular and computational tools with the capacity of defining vector competence linked to vector-borne diseases. We further anticipate that the tools will be modifiable to encompass studies of vector-competence linked to a broad range of disease, which in light of global warming, have the potential of causing epidemics outside the regions where they are currently endemic. Det övergripande målet för det här projektet är att implementera en datadriven strategi för att kunna förutse värdkompetens hos insekter som sprider sjukdomar, så kallade vektorer. Verktyget ska kunna implementeras för att studera sannolikheten att potentiella vektorer i geografiska regioner runt ett område där ett större utbrott sker, är mottagliga för sjukdomen och kan sprida den vidare. Detta kan på så vis vägleda aktioner för att förebygga smittspridningPå senare år har det skett en ökning i fallen av storskaliga epidemiska spridningar av vektorburna sjukdomar, såsom Zika utbrottet 2015-2016 i Latinamerika. Utbrott av virusen; dengue, yellow fever, och chikungunya har också ökat i sjukdomsfall och spridningen sker ofta oförutsett. Fall av malaria, Leishmania och andra vektorburna parasitsjukdomar i tropiska regioner förväntas också öka på grund av den globala uppvärmningen. Med hänseende till pågående klimatförändringar ökar risken för storskaliga utbrott av vektorburna sjukdomar i flera delar av världen, inklusive Latinamerika, delar av Afrika och Asien. Därmed förväntas också behovet av verktyg för att kontrollera smittspridning öka i relevans. Med den snabba utvecklingen av datadriven biologisk och medicinsk forskning och den enormt höga produktionsnivån av nästa generations sekvenserings (NGS) data, har vi nu uppnått nya möjligheter att utföra storskaliga metadata analyser.Konceptet ”värdkompetens” inkluderar en infekterad värds respons mot en invaderande mikrob, i det här fallet insektens eller vektorns tolerans eller sensitivitet till att en smittsam mikrob lyckas kolonisera insekten och uppnå förutsättningarna för att sprida sig vidare. Värdkompetens är länkat till immunsvar hos värden, exakt vad som bestämmer om en värd är mottaglig eller inte varierar men genetiska variabler som leder till tolerans är generellt konserverade inom en art och kan vara konserverade mellan olika arterMålsättningen för det här projektet är att frilägga genetisk information som tillåter genererandet av molekylära verktyg med kapacitet att studera vektorkompetens hos smittspridande vektorer. Detta kommer vi att göra genom Integrative Trancriptomic Analysis (ITA), av storskaliga NGS dataset. Metoden går ut på att nyttja all data länkad till genuttryck som finns tillgänglig i publika domäner för en viss biologisk process, det inkluderar data från alla relevanta organismer och scenarier som kan påverka den studerade processen. Metoden är därmed inte begränsad till de genetiska vägar som redan är kända. ITA är en nyutvecklad analysstrategi och kan enkelt anpassas till olika biologiska frågeställningar hos olika organismer.I projektet kommer vi att fokusera på insekterna; Aedes, myggan som sprider virussjukdomarna Zika och Chikungunya, samt Anopheles, myggan som sprider malaria och sandflugan som sprider Leishmania. Vi kommer i samarbete med kollegor i Manaus, Brasilien samla in myggor i fält och utsätta dessa för experimentella infektioner med respektive mikrob. Sedermera kommer vi utvärdera vilka som är mottagliga alternative toleranta. Insekter från båda dessa grupper kommer att analyseras för sitt totala genuttryck med hjälp av NGS applikationer. NGS datan används sedan i syfte att ”träna” ITA modellen genom maskininlärning för att förtydliga vilka gener eller genetiska processer som ligger bakom tolerans och sensitivitet mot infektion. Detta kommer sedan att valideras på funktionell nivå med CRISPR (gensaxen) i samarbete med grupper i BrasilienDen slutliga produkten är en bioinformatisk open-access resurs som kommer att kunna användas för att förutse vektorkompetens bland de vektorer inkluderade i denna studie.

In Dar es Salaam, Tanzania a typical SSA country, some 70% of all cement goes to the production of sandcrete blocks. Only about 15-30% of the cement building capability is used in these applications. Since cement drives both the price and the carbon footprint this represents a huge waste affecting both people and the planet. The proposed research co-operation will join competence from Chalmers and Uppsala University in Sweden, the buidling institute BAM from Germany, Meru University in Kenya and UDSM in Tanzania to come up with transdisciplinary solutions that can lead to the subsituton of parts or all of the the ordinary cement to produce alternative binders from locally available materials for affordable, low carbon blocks produced with appropriate technology. Alternative binders are such as volcanic ashes, calcined clays and agricultural ashes. Cement är världens tredje enskilt största utsläppskälla av växthusgasen koldioxid. Bakgrunden är att Portland Cementen (PC), "vanlig cement" är limmet i betong. Betong är i sin tur världens mest producerade material och utgör grundpelaren i vårt moderna samhällsbyggande. Globalt använder vi ca 3-4 ton betong per person och år. Eftersom betong är enkel att använda på alla nivåer från enkla till komplexa tillämpningar är den svår att ersätta. Problemet med betongen är att PC - limmet i betongen - står för ca 7-9% av världens totala koldioxidutsläpp.  Det finns en tydlig korrelation mellan länders ekonomiska utveckling och cementkonsumtion, detta pulverformade lim är en tydlig möjliggörare för människors ökade välmående och länders fortsatta tillväxt. Globalt sett använder vi ca 600 kg cement per person och år medan användningen i Afrika söder om Sahara fortsatt är på bara ca 100 kg per person och år. Afrika har i dag ca 1.3 miljarder invånare och har en snabb befolkningsökning. Fram till 2050 förväntas befolkningen stiga till 2,5 miljdarder och fram till 2100 till fyra miljarder. Med nuvarande användning av PC i betong kommer Afrikas stora byggbehov att bidra till kraftigt ökande koldioxidutsläpp. Samtidigt är boende en mänsklig rättighet.I Afrika söder om Sahara är behovet av boende en akut fråga. I Uganda, som ett exempel på ett låg-inkomstland i östra Afrika, uppskattas ett underskott på bostäder till ca 2,1 miljoner boenden. En siffra som växer med ca 200 000 enheter årligen. Samtidigt som en ständigt ökande befolkning är en orsak till det stora behovet av boende är det även en fråga om resurser att skaffa sig ett boende. I dag är det absolut vanligaste sättet att bygga bostäder på i sub-Sahara block-baserat. Lokala entreprenörer gjuter "6-inch blocks" med sand, cement och vatten. Cementen utgör mellan 5-10% av materialvikten men driver 50-80% av kostnaden och koldioxavtrycket av blocket. Genom att substituera bort cementen som bindemedel i blocket finns det möjlighet att minska både priset och det ekologiska fotavtrycket den för byggstenarna, väggarna och slutligen det färdiga huset. Det uppskattas att i den enklaste husmodellen, med väggar av block och ett enkelare plåttak, står blockkostnaden för ca 50-70% av byggkostnaden. Alternativa bindemedel har forskats på i många år men det brister i praktiska tillämpningar. Betongforskning i utvecklade länder fokuserar i stor omfattning på avancerade betongkonstruktioner.

Projektledare Raine Isaksson har en lång erfarenhet av cementproduktion internationellt inklusive 10 år i olika afrikanska länder.

It drives urbanization and economic growth and is the basic ingredient to countless commodities that make us ‘modern’ —from concrete and glass, to the microchips in our high-end gadgets. While a number recent publications warn about the environmental consequences of the steeply increasing demand for sand in Sub-Saharan Africa, the deeply political dynamics of the sand business have hardly received any scholarly attention. In this proposed project, we seek to identifying how sand conflicts and contestations in Sub-Saharan Africa intersect, how different actors negotiate access, use and political voice. We will do so by establishing an international network of Swedish, British and Kenyan scholars with complementary expertise and competence, as well as extensive experience from working on natural resource conflicts across East- and West Africa. Through a combination of concrete and mutually benefiting activities, this effort will in the short term contribute to the urgent need for increased scholarly awareness of- and attention paid to the emerging political economic problems and challenges associated with sand extraction in Sub-Saharan Africa. In a longer perspective, the proposed project seeks to provide important input on how we collectively can rethink how to sustainably extract, trade and regulate a resource that underpins the promise of improved lives in many African societies. Sand är en av världens mest efterfrågade och använda naturresurser. Vi använder sand för att tillverka såväl betong som glas och mikrochips i avancerade elektroniska produkter. Sand är en faktiskt en oersättlig del i byggandet det moderna samhället och driver såväl urbanisering som ekonomisk tillväxt. Under de sista tio åren har den årliga efterfrågan på sand som används inom byggsektorn stigit trefaldigt och vi använder i världen idag 40 till 50 miljarder ton sand varje år. Men trots dess ökande användning, uppmärksammar vi sällan sandens ekonomiska och samhälleliga betydelse. Ett uttryck för detta är det ofta saknas tillförlitlig information och statistik om såväl dess omfattning, som dess sociala och miljömässiga effekter. Den ökande exploateringen av sand utgör idag en angelägen hållbarhetsutmaning, som kan få stor betydelse för uppfyllandet av flera av FNs hållbarhetsmål. I det globala syd i allmänhet, och i Afrika söder om Sahara i synnerhet, är å ena sidan utvinning av sand nödvändig för att man genom byggandet av infrastruktur ska kunna skapa långsikt ekonomisk utveckling, och därmed utrota fattigdom och minska ojämlikhet. Å andra sidan skapar sandutvinningen i sig nya utmaningar vad gäller både ojämlikhet och ekologisk hållbarhet.I Öst- och Västafrika har regeringar inte bara satt igång enorma bostadsprojekt de senaste 10 – 15 åren, utan också stora infrastruktur program för att förbättra transport- och energiförsörjningen. Dessa kräver otroliga mängder sand. I takt med att produktionen av cement har ökat kraftigt, har också allt fler motsättningar och konflikter uppstått mellan lokalsamhällen, aktörer som utvinner sand, mellanhänder och distributörer, myndigheter, och byggsektorn uppstått. Än så länge finns dock inga studier som systematiskt har försökt kartlägga den nya politiska dynamik som uppstår i Afrika längs den distributionskedja som kopplar samman lokal utvinning med den vidare handeln och användningen av sand. Syftet med det här projektet är därför att utforska de sociala, ekonomiska och politiska motsättningar och konflikter som just nu växer fram i Öst- och Västafrika, två av de regioner i världen som urbaniseras snabbast.  Genom skapandet av ett av de första forskningsnätverken i världen med fokus på politiska aspekter av sandutvinning, handel och användning, syftar projektet till att bidra till utvecklingen av en övergripande forskningsagenda för studiet av sandutvinningens politiska problematik. Med utgångspunkt i detta syfte har projektet fyra huvudmålsättningar: (1) att utveckla ett mer omfattande forskningsprojekt om detta strategiskt viktiga men än så länge outforskade ämne. (2) ta fram och öppet publicera en databas med övergripande information om motsättningar och konflikter kopplade till sand. Detta för att öka medvetenheten och kunskapen om den snabbt ökande sandutvinningens problem och utmaningar inom nätverket, men också hos civilsamhället, myndigheter och internationella organisationer. (3) Anordna en workshop med deltagare från nyckelaktörer när det gäller utvinning, handel, och användning av sand i Öst- och Västafrika. Detta dels för att få en bättre förståelse för dessa aktörers erfarenheter, intressen och perspektiv; men också för att initiera en dialog om hur sand som en naturresurs kan förvaltas på ett rättvist och hållbart sätt. (4) Möjliggöra för unga forskare att genomföra fältstudier av motsättningar och konflikter kopplade till sand i Öst- och Västafrika. Detta eftersom bristen på empirisk forskning om sandutvinning, handel och användning i Afrika söder om Sahara är mycket bristfällig.

It drives urbanization and economic growth and is the basic ingredient to countless commodities that make us ‘modern’ —from concrete and glass, to the microchips in our high-end gadgets. While a number recent publications warn about the environmental consequences of the steeply increasing demand for sand in Sub-Saharan Africa, the deeply political dynamics of the sand business have hardly received any scholarly attention. In this proposed project, we seek to identifying how sand conflicts and contestations in Sub-Saharan Africa intersect, how different actors negotiate access, use and political voice. We will do so by establishing an international network of Swedish, British and Kenyan scholars with complementary expertise and competence, as well as extensive experience from working on natural resource conflicts across East- and West Africa. Through a combination of concrete and mutually benefiting activities, this effort will in the short term contribute to the urgent need for increased scholarly awareness of- and attention paid to the emerging political economic problems and challenges associated with sand extraction in Sub-Saharan Africa. In a longer perspective, the proposed project seeks to provide important input on how we collectively can rethink how to sustainably extract, trade and regulate a resource that underpins the promise of improved lives in many African societies. Sand är en av världens mest efterfrågade och använda naturresurser. Vi använder sand för att tillverka såväl betong som glas och mikrochips i avancerade elektroniska produkter. Sand är en faktiskt en oersättlig del i byggandet det moderna samhället och driver såväl urbanisering som ekonomisk tillväxt. Under de sista tio åren har den årliga efterfrågan på sand som används inom byggsektorn stigit trefaldigt och vi använder i världen idag 40 till 50 miljarder ton sand varje år. Men trots dess ökande användning, uppmärksammar vi sällan sandens ekonomiska och samhälleliga betydelse. Ett uttryck för detta är det ofta saknas tillförlitlig information och statistik om såväl dess omfattning, som dess sociala och miljömässiga effekter. Den ökande exploateringen av sand utgör idag en angelägen hållbarhetsutmaning, som kan få stor betydelse för uppfyllandet av flera av FNs hållbarhetsmål. I det globala syd i allmänhet, och i Afrika söder om Sahara i synnerhet, är å ena sidan utvinning av sand nödvändig för att man genom byggandet av infrastruktur ska kunna skapa långsikt ekonomisk utveckling, och därmed utrota fattigdom och minska ojämlikhet. Å andra sidan skapar sandutvinningen i sig nya utmaningar vad gäller både ojämlikhet och ekologisk hållbarhet.I Öst- och Västafrika har regeringar inte bara satt igång enorma bostadsprojekt de senaste 10 – 15 åren, utan också stora infrastruktur program för att förbättra transport- och energiförsörjningen. Dessa kräver otroliga mängder sand. I takt med att produktionen av cement har ökat kraftigt, har också allt fler motsättningar och konflikter uppstått mellan lokalsamhällen, aktörer som utvinner sand, mellanhänder och distributörer, myndigheter, och byggsektorn uppstått. Än så länge finns dock inga studier som systematiskt har försökt kartlägga den nya politiska dynamik som uppstår i Afrika längs den distributionskedja som kopplar samman lokal utvinning med den vidare handeln och användningen av sand. Syftet med det här projektet är därför att utforska de sociala, ekonomiska och politiska motsättningar och konflikter som just nu växer fram i Öst- och Västafrika, två av de regioner i världen som urbaniseras snabbast.  Genom skapandet av ett av de första forskningsnätverken i världen med fokus på politiska aspekter av sandutvinning, handel och användning, syftar projektet till att bidra till utvecklingen av en övergripande forskningsagenda för studiet av sandutvinningens politiska problematik. Med utgångspunkt i detta syfte har projektet fyra huvudmålsättningar: (1) att utveckla ett mer omfattande forskningsprojekt om detta strategiskt viktiga men än så länge outforskade ämne. (2) ta fram och öppet publicera en databas med övergripande information om motsättningar och konflikter kopplade till sand. Detta för att öka medvetenheten och kunskapen om den snabbt ökande sandutvinningens problem och utmaningar inom nätverket, men också hos civilsamhället, myndigheter och internationella organisationer. (3) Anordna en workshop med deltagare från nyckelaktörer när det gäller utvinning, handel, och användning av sand i Öst- och Västafrika. Detta dels för att få en bättre förståelse för dessa aktörers erfarenheter, intressen och perspektiv; men också för att initiera en dialog om hur sand som en naturresurs kan förvaltas på ett rättvist och hållbart sätt. (4) Möjliggöra för unga forskare att genomföra fältstudier av motsättningar och konflikter kopplade till sand i Öst- och Västafrika. Detta eftersom bristen på empirisk forskning om sandutvinning, handel och användning i Afrika söder om Sahara är mycket bristfällig.

The project analyses the situation of labourers working on, or in the vicinity of, Chinese-funded infrastructure projects in Accra (Ghana), Maputo (Mozambique), Dar es Salaam (Tanzania) and Lusaka (Zambia).

Däremot har få studier analyserat arbetet som ligger till grund för genomförandet av storskaliga infrastrukturprojekt i afrikanska städer. Vi vet att nya infrastrukturprojekt bidrar med nya arbetstillfällen, både inom byggarbetsplatserna och i deras omedelbara närhet där bland annat gatuförsäljare etablerar sig för att erbjuda varor och tjänster till infrastrukturarbetare och andra som rör sig i närheten. Givet att många afrikanska städer uppvisar hög arbetslöshet är dessa nya inkomstmöjligheter önskvärda. Samtidigt är dessa arbetstillfällen ofta tidsbegränsade och det har rapporterats om dåliga arbetsvillkor och hur exempelvis gatuförsäljare tvångsförflyttas från dessa platser när infrastrukturen står färdig.Bristen på kunskap om arbetet bakom storskaliga infrastrukturprojekt är problematisk eftersom arbetarnas situation och deras insatser är avgörande för lokala försörjningsstrategier samt skapandet och underhållet av ny infrastruktur. Det här projektet syftar till att analysera hur storskaliga Kinafinansierade infrastrukturprojekt i det urbana Afrika påverkar lokala försörjningsmöjligheter och infrastrukturarbetares vardagliga praktiker och erfarenheter, samt hur dessa möjligheter och praktiker förändras över tid. Forskningsfrågorna undersöker vilka inkomstmöjligheter nya infrastrukturprojekt skapar för olika grupper av arbetare, hur arbetsvillkoren ser ut för dessa grupper, samt hur inkomstmöjligheterna förändras över tid i relation till infrastrukturens olika faser av implementering, färdigställande och underhåll.Projektet bygger på den växande litteraturen om infrastruktur inom samhällsvetenskaperna, där infrastruktur förstås som en process vilken kan studeras för att ge insikter om samhällsutvecklingen i stort. Mer specifikt bygger vi vidare på forskningen kring infrastruktur och vardagsliv i städer för att undersöka hur byggarbetare och andra som etablerar ekonomisk verksamhet i närheten av ny Kinafinansierad infrastruktur påverkas och relaterar till dessa projekt.

The project uses a unique set of previously established multispecies plantations in Rwanda along an elevation/temperature gradient with water treatments to simulate future climate conditions and to study their impact on the growth of 20 tree species belonging to different groups, montane vs. transitional and early vs. late successional species. The productivity and survival of trees as well as how tree carbon allocation interacts with the environment will be studied over three years. Year 1: Tree biomass estimates and development of species-specific allometric biomass functions. Year 2: Explore the tree carbon allocation and functional traits and how they control drought and temperature sensitivity. Year 3: Compile and evaluate data in combination with development of planting recommendations.

Tropiska regnskogar är jordens mest artrika och produktiva ekosystemtyp och har en viktig roll för vår planets biodiversitet och klimat. Trots det vet vi förhållandevis lite om deras känslighet för pågående klimatförändringar. Ökad dödlighet under ovanligt varma och torra år (s.k. El Niño-år) tyder på att tropiska träd är mycket klimatkänsliga, men kunskapen är begränsad. I många tropiska områden har stora arealer skog försvunnit och omvandlats till odlings- och betesmark. Detta leder till problem med erosion, biodiversitetsförlust, och ett varmare och torrare klimat. På många håll försöker man därför återplantera skog. Det finns då flera fördelar med att använda naturligt förekommande arter eftersom dessa bidrar till högre biodiversitet, både bland växter och andra organismer, än exotiska och snabbväxande som ofta används. En osäkerhetsfaktor som hämmar hållbar plantering av inhemska tropiska trädarter är att vi vet så lite om deras egenskaper beträffande produktion, kvalitet och klimatkänslighet. Det övergripande syftet med detta projekt är att ta reda på hur produktionen och överlevnaden av vanliga inhemska trädarter i Öst- och Centralafrika påverkas av ett varmare och torrare klimat samt stödja hållbara trädplanteringar och skogliga ekosystemtjänster. Baserat på denna kunskap kommer vi att ta fram rekommendation om vilka trädarter som kan användas i olika delar av Rwanda, ett tätt befolkat och fattigt land i centrala Afrika med ambitiösa mål för ökad areal med träd samtidigt med högt ställda målen för en hållbar utveckling av landsbygden.I projektet studerar vi 20 tropiska trädarter som naturligt växer i bergsregnskog eller i övergången mellan regnskog och savann i Rwanda. För detta har vi etablerat planteringar med 5400 träd på tre platser med stor variation i höjd över havet (1300-2400 m), nederbörd (850-1750 mm) och temperatur (14-21 °C). De högst belägna platserna ligger i bergsregnskog medan de lägsta ligger i områden som naturligt domineras av buskvegetation och som är varmare och torrare än de utvalda trädarternas naturliga miljöer. Ett steg nedåt i höjd för en viss art representerar ett möjligt framtida klimatscenario. Vi kommer att manipulera vatten- och näringstillgången för att kunna separera effekter av temperatur, nederbörd och näringstillgång. På alla platser kommer vi att plantera både pionjärarter (som snabbt kan kolonisera nya områden) och klimaxarter (som dominerar i skogar utan störningar). Vi kommer att studera trädens produktion och överlevnad i förhållande till behandlingarna: temperatur, vatten och näring. Dessutom kommer vi att undersöka hur tillväxten av olika delar av träden (blad, stam, rötter) påverkas av de olika behandlingarna eftersom detta påverkar förmågan att klara t.ex torka. Vi kommer också att jämföra produktion och överlevnad hos olika trädarter med deras fotosyntes, värmetolerans och andra fysiologiska egenskaper som potentiellt styr hur trädens tillväxt, vitalitet och överlevnad påverkas av ökad temperatur och längre perioder av torka. Trädens förmåga att anpassa sig till ett förändrat klimat kommer att bestämmas. Vi kommer också att jämföra resultaten från experimenten i höjdgradienten med studier av tillväxt hos träd i naturliga och planterade bestånd för att utvärdera resultatens relevans i samarbete med lokala aktörer. Resultaten kommer att kommuniceras med både lokala myndigheter och andra aktörer för att tillsammans analysera effekter på olika ekosystemtjänster. Resultaten kommer också ligga till grund för rekommendationer av artval i olika typer av planteringar. Projektet är ett samarbete mellan Göteborgs Universitet, University of Rwanda och Rwanda Agriculture and Animal Resources Development Board som sedan flera år har ett samarbete inom skogsforskning, där även lärarutbyte och handledning av doktorander och studenter ingår. Vi tar fram ny kunskap om olika tropiska trädarters klimatkänslighet och vilka underliggande trädegenskaper och mekanismer som styr denna.

Trots det vet vi förhållandevis lite om deras känslighet för pågående klimatförändringar. Ökad dödlighet under ovanligt varma och torra år (s.k. El Niño-år) tyder på att tropiska träd är mycket klimatkänsliga, men kunskapen är begränsad. I många tropiska områden har stora arealer skog försvunnit och omvandlats till odlings- och betesmark. Detta leder till problem med erosion, biodiversitetsförlust, och ett varmare och torrare klimat. På många håll försöker man därför återplantera skog. Det finns då flera fördelar med att använda naturligt förekommande arter eftersom dessa bidrar till högre biodiversitet, både bland växter och andra organismer, än exotiska och snabbväxande som ofta används. En osäkerhetsfaktor som hämmar hållbar plantering av inhemska tropiska trädarter är att vi vet så lite om deras egenskaper beträffande produktion, kvalitet och klimatkänslighet. Det övergripande syftet med detta projekt är att ta reda på hur produktionen och överlevnaden av vanliga inhemska trädarter i Öst- och Centralafrika påverkas av ett varmare och torrare klimat samt stödja hållbara trädplanteringar och skogliga ekosystemtjänster. Baserat på denna kunskap kommer vi att ta fram rekommendation om vilka trädarter som kan användas i olika delar av Rwanda, ett tätt befolkat och fattigt land i centrala Afrika med ambitiösa mål för ökad areal med träd samtidigt med högt ställda målen för en hållbar utveckling av landsbygden.I projektet studerar vi 20 tropiska trädarter som naturligt växer i bergsregnskog eller i övergången mellan regnskog och savann i Rwanda. För detta har vi etablerat planteringar med 5400 träd på tre platser med stor variation i höjd över havet (1300-2400 m), nederbörd (850-1750 mm) och temperatur (14-21 °C). De högst belägna platserna ligger i bergsregnskog medan de lägsta ligger i områden som naturligt domineras av buskvegetation och som är varmare och torrare än de utvalda trädarternas naturliga miljöer. Ett steg nedåt i höjd för en viss art representerar ett möjligt framtida klimatscenario. Vi kommer att manipulera vatten- och näringstillgången för att kunna separera effekter av temperatur, nederbörd och näringstillgång. På alla platser kommer vi att plantera både pionjärarter (som snabbt kan kolonisera nya områden) och klimaxarter (som dominerar i skogar utan störningar). Vi kommer att studera trädens produktion och överlevnad i förhållande till behandlingarna: temperatur, vatten och näring. Dessutom kommer vi att undersöka hur tillväxten av olika delar av träden (blad, stam, rötter) påverkas av de olika behandlingarna eftersom detta påverkar förmågan att klara t.ex torka. Vi kommer också att jämföra produktion och överlevnad hos olika trädarter med deras fotosyntes, värmetolerans och andra fysiologiska egenskaper som potentiellt styr hur trädens tillväxt, vitalitet och överlevnad påverkas av ökad temperatur och längre perioder av torka. Trädens förmåga att anpassa sig till ett förändrat klimat kommer att bestämmas. Vi kommer också att jämföra resultaten från experimenten i höjdgradienten med studier av tillväxt hos träd i naturliga och planterade bestånd för att utvärdera resultatens relevans i samarbete med lokala aktörer. Resultaten kommer att kommuniceras med både lokala myndigheter och andra aktörer för att tillsammans analysera effekter på olika ekosystemtjänster. Resultaten kommer också ligga till grund för rekommendationer av artval i olika typer av planteringar. Projektet är ett samarbete mellan Göteborgs Universitet, University of Rwanda och Rwanda Agriculture and Animal Resources Development Board som sedan flera år har ett samarbete inom skogsforskning, där även lärarutbyte och handledning av doktorander och studenter ingår. Vi tar fram ny kunskap om olika tropiska trädarters klimatkänslighet och vilka underliggande trädegenskaper och mekanismer som styr denna.

It examines how state provision or denial of resources, such as business support packages and appropriate infrastructures, to informal workers during the pandemic relates to constructions of informality as (il)legitimate. The study also investigates how informal workers, in diverse ways, may contest or act upon unjust distributions and the excessive inequities that the pandemic has brought into relief, and how they possibly articulate new claims for recognition. This involves exploring how possibilities for collectively organising and articulating demands have changed during the pandemic. The project will pursue the following research questions: What determines access by informal workers to business support packages created to facilitate recovery and mitigate the economic impacts of the pandemic? What initiatives have emerged during the pandemic to adress the inadequacies of vending infrastructures (sanitation, proper stalls etc)? What new claims are informal workers possibly articulating in the context of the pandemic? The project will apply qualititative methods and investigate these dynamics in four African cities: Dar-es-Salaam (Tanzania), Kitwe (Zambia), Blantyre (Malawi) and Accra (Ghana). Detta projekt syftar till att generera ny kunskap om processer som formar möjligheterna till ekonomisk återhämtning och politiskt erkännande av informellt arbete i samband med COVID-19-pandemin i det urban Afrika. Den undersöker hur statlig tillhandahållande eller förnekande av resurser, såsom stödpaket och infrastruktur, till informella arbetare under pandemin relaterar till konstruktioner av informalitet som (il)legitima. Studien undersöker också hur informella arbetare på olika sätt kan bestrida eller agera mot orättvisa fördelningar och de alltför stora orättvisor som pandemin har lett till, och hur de eventuellt formulerar nya anspråk på politiskt erkännande. Studien undersöker även hur möjligheterna att kollektivt organisera och formulera krav har förändrats under pandemin. Projektet kommer att bedriva följande forskningsfrågor: Vad avgör informella arbetares tillgång till stödpaket som skapats för att underlätta återhämtning och mildra de ekonomiska effekterna av pandemin? Vilka initiativ har dykt upp under pandemin för att ta itu med brist på försäljningsinfrastrukturer (sanitet, korrekta bås etc.)? Vilka nya krav formulerar informella arbetare eventuellt inom ramen för pandemin? Projektet kommer att tillämpa kvalitativa metoder och undersöka dessa dynamiker i fyra afrikanska städer: Dar-es-Salaam (Tanzania), Kitwe (Zambia), Blantyre (Malawi) och Accra (Ghana).

The study also investigates how informal workers, in diverse ways, may contest or act upon unjust distributions and the excessive inequities that the pandemic has brought into relief, and how they possibly articulate new claims for recognition. This involves exploring how possibilities for collectively organising and articulating demands have changed during the pandemic. The project will pursue the following research questions: What determines access by informal workers to business support packages created to facilitate recovery and mitigate the economic impacts of the pandemic? What initiatives have emerged during the pandemic to adress the inadequacies of vending infrastructures (sanitation, proper stalls etc)? What new claims are informal workers possibly articulating in the context of the pandemic? The project will apply qualititative methods and investigate these dynamics in four African cities: Dar-es-Salaam (Tanzania), Kitwe (Zambia), Blantyre (Malawi) and Accra (Ghana). Detta projekt syftar till att generera ny kunskap om processer som formar möjligheterna till ekonomisk återhämtning och politiskt erkännande av informellt arbete i samband med COVID-19-pandemin i det urban Afrika. Den undersöker hur statlig tillhandahållande eller förnekande av resurser, såsom stödpaket och infrastruktur, till informella arbetare under pandemin relaterar till konstruktioner av informalitet som (il)legitima. Studien undersöker också hur informella arbetare på olika sätt kan bestrida eller agera mot orättvisa fördelningar och de alltför stora orättvisor som pandemin har lett till, och hur de eventuellt formulerar nya anspråk på politiskt erkännande. Studien undersöker även hur möjligheterna att kollektivt organisera och formulera krav har förändrats under pandemin. Projektet kommer att bedriva följande forskningsfrågor: Vad avgör informella arbetares tillgång till stödpaket som skapats för att underlätta återhämtning och mildra de ekonomiska effekterna av pandemin? Vilka initiativ har dykt upp under pandemin för att ta itu med brist på försäljningsinfrastrukturer (sanitet, korrekta bås etc.)?

Formerly we have shown that wild progenitors of cereals native microbiome  represents a strategy for addressing crop plant nutritional requirements. We hypothesize that the breeding lines inoculation  with the bacterial collection from their wild relatives, isolated based on hormone catabolism activity, results in  significant re-programming of finger millet and sorghum metabolism via the stimulation of mineral element uptake and utilization that lead to a boost in the metabolic activity. The inoculation effect  will be tested using advanced phenotyping technologies such as PacBio SMRT, high resolution microscopy, inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry and MALDI-TOF MS. We aim identification of root candidate traits  to be further used by  Ethiopian plant breeders for  identification of loci associated with nutrient utilization.  The work builds upon  S.Timmusk’s financed RD projects in SSA  (SRC and SIDA Biotech 2018) and the project “HeRo - Healthy Roots: Development of tools for the selection of robust cultivars in Swedish plant breeding, with focus on the root system” coordinated by M.

Torka tillsammans med lågt näringsanvändnings effektivitet är ett stort problem i det Etiopiska jordbruket och leder ofta till stora skördeförluster fattigdomen i landet Problemet är särskilt relevant eftersom den globala utvecklingen tyder på att olika abiotiska stressituationer för växter kommer att öka framöver på grund av klimatförändringar. Vi föreslår här en studie för att öka växternas tolerans mot olika stressituationer genom användning av markorganismer som kan öka grödornas tolerans mot stressfaktorer, särskilt torka och fosforbrist. Användning av naturligt förekommande jordmikroorganismer med positiv inverkan på växternas tillväxt och hälsa är ett attraktivt alternativ till konventionella jordbruksmetoder. Sådana mikroorganismer kan underlätta växternas vatten- och näringsupptag, samt kan motverka flera olika typer av stress som kan drabba växter. De positiva effekterna som många av dessa mikroorganismer har på växter förmedlas av en rad mekanismer, inklusive förbättrat upptag av mineralnäring, förbättring av plantornas tolerans mot biologisk och icke biologisk stress, modifiering av rotutveckling samt hämning av jordburna sjukdomar. De bakteriella egenskaper som är inblandade i dessa aktiviteter inkluderar kvävefixering, upplösning av fosfater, bindning av järn, syntes av fytohormoner, anpassning av växtens etylennivåer samt kontroll av fytopatogena mikroorganismer. Det är känt att vissa bakterier i rotzonen har utvecklats tillsammans med växtrötter i under årtusenden och flera system i växter och bakterier är kända för att ha utvecklat system som utlöser tillgängliga resurser och initierar metabolisk tillväxt vilket behövs i olika stressituationer. På så sätt reglerar energikänsliga system genuttrycken på många nivåer för att tillåta flexibilitet i växternas omfattande stressförsvar. Moderna växtsorter har förlorat många viktiga genetiska förmågor för anpassning till biologiska och abiotiska stressfaktorer vilka annars finns naturligt i vilda arter och populationer. Därför inkluderar vårt system vilda spannmålsgenetiska resurser från sina naturliga utvecklingsplatser. Vi har under de senaste åren utvecklat en metod för användning av markmikroorganismer för att öka torktolerans i stråsäd odlad under kontrollerade förhållanden och i Uganda och  Egyptiska fält. I det föreslagna projektet vill vi utveckla denna teknik för användning i Etiopiska fälten. Framstegen inom nästa generations sekvenseringsteknologier (NGS) har underlättat precisionshanteringen av de mikrobiella isolatema och deras konsortier i naturliga miljöer. NGS metoderna kommer att användas för systematisk screening av hårda miljöisolat från de spannmålets vilda föräldrarna rhizosphere. Isolaten kommer att valideras för deras tillväxtfrämjande  torktolerans och roll i upptag av växtnäringsämnen. De bästa isolaten kommer att lagras i den etiopiska PGPR biobanken. Särskild fokus ligger på förbättrad kommunikation av metodutvecklingen mellan forskare i Sverige och Etiopien, och medpotentiella användare av metoden i Etiopien. Vi kommer exempelvis att försöka skapa lokala initiativgrupper för informationsspridning och produktutveckling i Etiopien som diskuterar tekniken med berörda parter inom ramen för konferenser  som planeras inom projektet. Inom detta projekt ger en kombination av praktisk fältforskning och molekylära forskningsmetoder en unik möjlighet för att på sikt öka avkastning av viktiga grödor i Etiopien på ett miljövänligt och ekologiskt hållbart sätt.

Specifically, we will use detailed survey data to investigate the impact of the spread of ICT on literacy and educational attainment and explore the mechanisms at play, utilizing within as well as across household variation to identify the possible effects. We will also use unique schooling data to assess the effects on teacher quality and effort, the employment of IT-tools in schools, and student test scores. To this end, we will draw on detailed geospatial data on ICT infrastructure and the outcomes of interest, allowing for the use of quasi-experimental statistical techniques, coupled with insights from key informant interviews with stakeholders in ICT development projects in the region. In 2022, we will compile data and initiate the data analysis. In 2023, we will carry out the bulk of the empirical analysis. In 2024, we will complete all outstanding parts of the research and disseminate the results. Unlike most previous work in the area, we will be able to differentiate between 2G, 3G/4G and fiber cable infrastructure, which have critically different implications in terms of the inputs in the educational production function. As such, the project will also inform the ongoing debate on the gap between education and learning, which is arguably especially relevant in Sub-Saharan Africa. Gender considerations are central to this project. A core objective of the project is to investigate the impact of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) on educational inequalities in Sub-Saharan Africa. Considering the existing strong disparities in mobile internet adoption between groups, with women and people in rural areas lagging behind (GSMA, 2020), a gender perspective is of key importance. In a first step, we will track the spread of ICT in Sub-Saharan Africa. This analysis will include mapping digital inequalities, such as gender gaps, in access to 2G, 3G/4G and fiber cable network coverage in the area of residence, as well as in the actual use of these technologies. When investigating the impact of the spread of ICT on educational outcomes, we will consistently assess gendered impacts. Carefully evaluating possible differential impacts across girls and boys will clarify if, when, and where digital development enhances gender inequalities in educational outcomes, and thus where efforts to counteract this tendency are needed. It also sheds light on under what circumstances digital development may instead act as an engine for change, helping to offset inequalities. Our gender focus is clearly visible in the research plan. In ‘Purpose and aims’, we establish our aim to assess feedback mechanisms between digital divides and inequalities in educational outcomes. Here, gender is specified as a key inequality dimension. And in ‘Theory and data’ we specify the data and approach that will be used to address these issues empirically.

Just därför anses de senaste årens snabba utveckling av digital informations- och kommunikationsteknik (IKT) ha haft betydande ekonomiska och sociala effekter för regionens befolkning, särskilt bland de fattigaste.Under den pågående Covid-19-pandemin har beroendet av internet accentuerats på global nivå och användningen av digital teknik har påskyndats inom utbildningsområdet. Möjligheterna till kvalitetssäkrad undervisning på distans skiljer sig dock kraftigt åt mellan och inom länder. Fortfarande saknar hälften av alla världens barn i grundskolan och gymnasiet internetanslutning hemma, och nästan hälften av de som bor i områden som saknar internetuppkoppling bor i Afrika söder om Sahara. Inom de afrikanska länderna finns det också betydande skillnader i mobilnätsteckning och internettillgång längs dimensioner som socioekonomisk status, kön och ålder.Även om pandemin har gett betydelsen av IKT inom utbildningsområdet en ökad uppmärksamhet så är frågan mycket bredare än så och har diskuterades livligt under lång tid. Inom akademin såväl som i policykretsar har man exempelvis noterat hur satsningar på utbildning inte lett till önskade resultat i form av verkligt lärande, och vissa ser den nya tekniken som en möjlighet att kringgå de bindande begränsningar som verkar finnas inom utbildningsväsendet i många låginkomstländer. Det finns dock ingen anledning att förvänta sig att spridningen av IKT har samma inverkan på utbildningsresultaten för alla som får tillgång till denna teknik. Dessutom kan vissa individer eller grupper halka efter, eller till och med missgynnas, även om effekterna visade sig vara positiva i genomsnitt.Det övergripande syftet med detta projekt är att undersöka hur spridningen av IKT i Afrika söder om Sahara påverkar utbildningsresultat och ojämlikhet i utbildningsresultat i regionen. I projektet görs åtskillnad mellan utvecklingen inom olika tekniska plattformar, såsom 2G, 3G/4G och fiberkabelinfrastruktur, då dessa skiljer sig fundamentalt åt vad gäller internethastighet och därmed möjligheter till interaktion och informationsdelning. Genom att knyta samman detaljerad geospatial data över utbyggnaden av IKT över tid med data över de fenomen vi ämnar studera kan vi använda oss av moderna kvasi-experimentella statistiska metoder som gör att resultaten når hög vetenskaplig kvalitet. Vi kommer dessutom att underbygga den statistiska analysen med insikter från intervjuer med nyckelaktörer i viktiga IKT-utvecklingsprojekt i regionen.Projektet relaterar till två aktuella forskningsområden. För det första har studier visat att i Afrika söder om Sahara har spridningen av IKT fått betydande politiska och ekonomiska konsekvenser. De indirekta effekterna av denna utveckling på utbildningsresultat har emellertid ännu inte analyserats inom detta forskningsfält. En annan grupp av studier visar att specifika IKT-investeringar inom utbildningsområdet sällan får positiva effekter i rika länder, men att de ofta har positiva effekter i låginkomstländer. Vårt forskningsprojekt blir det första som sammanför dessa två fält genom att beakta de breda transformativa effekter som spridningen av IKT potentiellt har på utbildningsresultat och ojämlikhet i utbildningsresultat i Afrika söder om Sahara.Kunskapen som kommer genereras inom detta projekt är relaterad till de globala målen för hållbar utveckling (SDG). De mest relevanta är målen om inkluderande utbildning av god kvalitet (SDG 4), jämställdhet (SDG 5) och minskad ojämlikhet (SDG 10), samt att uppnå allmän tillgång till internet i de minst utvecklade länderna (under SDG 9). Projektets resultat kommer belysa under vilka omständigheter digital utveckling verkar för inkluderande utveckling och när det riskerar bidra till fördjupade klyftor.

Specifically, we will use detailed survey data to investigate the impact of the spread of ICT on literacy and educational attainment and explore the mechanisms at play, utilizing within as well as across household variation to identify the possible effects. We will also use unique schooling data to assess the effects on teacher quality and effort, the employment of IT-tools in schools, and student test scores. To this end, we will draw on detailed geospatial data on ICT infrastructure and the outcomes of interest, allowing for the use of quasi-experimental statistical techniques, coupled with insights from key informant interviews with stakeholders in ICT development projects in the region. In 2022, we will compile data and initiate the data analysis. In 2023, we will carry out the bulk of the empirical analysis. In 2024, we will complete all outstanding parts of the research and disseminate the results. Unlike most previous work in the area, we will be able to differentiate between 2G, 3G/4G and fiber cable infrastructure, which have critically different implications in terms of the inputs in the educational production function. As such, the project will also inform the ongoing debate on the gap between education and learning, which is arguably especially relevant in Sub-Saharan Africa. Gender considerations are central to this project. A core objective of the project is to investigate the impact of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) on educational inequalities in Sub-Saharan Africa. Considering the existing strong disparities in mobile internet adoption between groups, with women and people in rural areas lagging behind (GSMA, 2020), a gender perspective is of key importance. In a first step, we will track the spread of ICT in Sub-Saharan Africa. This analysis will include mapping digital inequalities, such as gender gaps, in access to 2G, 3G/4G and fiber cable network coverage in the area of residence, as well as in the actual use of these technologies. When investigating the impact of the spread of ICT on educational outcomes, we will consistently assess gendered impacts. Carefully evaluating possible differential impacts across girls and boys will clarify if, when, and where digital development enhances gender inequalities in educational outcomes, and thus where efforts to counteract this tendency are needed. It also sheds light on under what circumstances digital development may instead act as an engine for change, helping to offset inequalities. Our gender focus is clearly visible in the research plan. In ‘Purpose and aims’, we establish our aim to assess feedback mechanisms between digital divides and inequalities in educational outcomes. Here, gender is specified as a key inequality dimension. And in ‘Theory and data’ we specify the data and approach that will be used to address these issues empirically.

SARS-CoV-2 är det tredje coronaviruset som drabbar mänskligheten under de senaste 18 åren, och har liksom SARS och MERS spridit sig från sina naturliga värddjur till människa. Andra betydande exempel är HIV, Ebola och Zikavirus. Pandemin COVID-19 är nu spridd över världen och har orsakat mer än 136 miljon dokumenterade fall med över 3 miljon döda. Egypten har ännu ett relativt litet antal bekräftade fall av COVID-19 (200 000), men det är oklart om det reflekterar det verkliga antalet smittade eller om det beror på inadekvat testning. COVID-19 är inte det enda coronavirus som drabbat Arabiska halvön under senare tid, även MERS-CoV har orsakat utbrott sedan 2012 med hög dödlighet. I Egypten har man ökat sin beredskap efter MERS-CoV-utbrottet, men man saknar fortfarande en bra infrastruktur för effektiv identifiering av smittade, isolering av virus och epidemiologiska studier av spridningen.

New and better dental implant systems the present unmet clinical needs are related to: Peri-implantitis, attachment of dental implants in low quality bone and better esthetics. But in middle-income countries the area of dentistry stands in front of a massive growth. As the income level increases the need for medical devices increases and especially in dentistry. The rapid income growth in India has created a demand for state-of-the art, patent protected and cost effective technologies to be manufactured and sold in India. It is not possible to foresee development of such implants via the present commercial routes in the western world. Thus new research and development routes will be needed to find an implant system solution that allows low cost and state-of-the art implants to be in clinical use.  The purpose with the proposal is to form a strong research network between Swedish and Indian researchers within the field of biomaterials and dental implants. The aim is to that at project end of the project have performed 3 joint workshops, sent 4 researchers/PhD students/master students on research exchange and submitted one research proposal. The long term aim is to develop a state-of-the art affordable implant system for India. Implantat för ersättning och restaurering av tänder har varit i klinisk användning i årtionden med bra kliniska resultat. Nya och bättre tandimplantatsystem med lägre risk för peri-implantit (implantatrelaterade infektioner), integrering av implantat i ben av låg kvalitet samt förbättrad estetik.I länder med hög befolkningsökning samt ökande medelinkomst står tandvården inför en enorm tillväxt. När inkomstnivån blir högre, ökar behovet av medicinskteknik och speciellt inom tandvård. Den snabba befolknings och inkomsttillväxten i Indien har skapat en efterfrågan på state-of-the, patentskyddade och kostnadseffektiva dentala material som tillverkas och säljs i Indien. Det är inte möjligt att förutse utvecklingen av sådana implantat via de nuvarande kommersiella vägarna i västvärlden. Prisbilden är för hög, både vad gäller tillverkning samt distribution och försäljningskanaler.Således behövs nya forsknings- och utvecklingsvägar för att hitta en implantatlösning som möjliggör låga kostnader och moderna implantat för klinisk användning i t.ex. Indien. Syftet med projektet är att bilda ett starkt forskningsnätverk mellan svenska och indiska forskare inom tandimplantatområdet. Målet är att vid projektets slut har genomfört tre gemensamma workshops, skickat 4 forskare / doktorander / examensarbeten på forskningsutbyte och lämnat in ett forskningsförslag. Det långsiktiga målet är att utveckla ett toppmodernt implantat för Indien.

The rapid income growth in India has created a demand for state-of-the art, patent protected and cost effective technologies to be manufactured and sold in India. It is not possible to foresee development of such implants via the present commercial routes in the western world. Thus new research and development routes will be needed to find an implant system solution that allows low cost and state-of-the art implants to be in clinical use.  The purpose with the proposal is to form a strong research network between Swedish and Indian researchers within the field of biomaterials and dental implants. The aim is to that at project end of the project have performed 3 joint workshops, sent 4 researchers/PhD students/master students on research exchange and submitted one research proposal. The long term aim is to develop a state-of-the art affordable implant system for India. Implantat för ersättning och restaurering av tänder har varit i klinisk användning i årtionden med bra kliniska resultat. Nya och bättre tandimplantatsystem med lägre risk för peri-implantit (implantatrelaterade infektioner), integrering av implantat i ben av låg kvalitet samt förbättrad estetik.I länder med hög befolkningsökning samt ökande medelinkomst står tandvården inför en enorm tillväxt. När inkomstnivån blir högre, ökar behovet av medicinskteknik och speciellt inom tandvård. Den snabba befolknings och inkomsttillväxten i Indien har skapat en efterfrågan på state-of-the, patentskyddade och kostnadseffektiva dentala material som tillverkas och säljs i Indien. Det är inte möjligt att förutse utvecklingen av sådana implantat via de nuvarande kommersiella vägarna i västvärlden. Prisbilden är för hög, både vad gäller tillverkning samt distribution och försäljningskanaler.Således behövs nya forsknings- och utvecklingsvägar för att hitta en implantatlösning som möjliggör låga kostnader och moderna implantat för klinisk användning i t.ex. Indien. Syftet med projektet är att bilda ett starkt forskningsnätverk mellan svenska och indiska forskare inom tandimplantatområdet. Målet är att vid projektets slut har genomfört tre gemensamma workshops, skickat 4 forskare / doktorander / examensarbeten på forskningsutbyte och lämnat in ett forskningsförslag. Det långsiktiga målet är att utveckla ett toppmodernt implantat för Indien.

I det här projektet kommer vi att försöka bättre förstå basen för den resistenta fenotypen, eftersom den verkar uppstå efter mer genetiska förändringar än bara de som uppstår I pfcarl genen.Projektet kommer att starta genom att selektera resistenta parasiter I laboratorium genom att exponera parasit för succesivt ökande KAF156 koncentrationer eller genom att exponera dem för höga KAF156 koncentrationer och då detektera parasit som redan är resistenta. Resistenta parasite kommer därefter att få sitt genom sekvenserat och det kommer att jämföras med icke resistenta parasiters genom. Nya mutationer som uppstått under kommer att detekteras.

By taking advantage of the ecosystem services provided by nature to deliver specific benefits, sustainability and urban life quality can be improved, and trees are an essential green infrastructure component. However, long-term vitality is often low for urban trees, due to unfavourable growing conditions and lack of knowledge on suitable species. This is particularly true in Ethiopia, where a small amount of exotic, ill-adapted species are dominating the urban tree population, despite the large indigenous species diversity.The overall aim of the project is thus to increase the deliverance of needed ecosystem services from urban trees in Ethiopia by increasing the knowledge on suitable native species. Such focus has the potential to improve sustainability of urban development, sustain native species diversity and increase life quality for urban dwellers. The objectives are to identify which ecosystem services are mostly needed from the trees, and which indigenous trees that can both deliver the needed ecosystem services and endure the harsh urban growing conditions. Workshops with stakeholders will be combined with field studies of both relevant species and urban growth conditions, as well controlled experiments on drought tolerance for selected species. Träd i städer fyller många viktiga funktioner genom de ekosystemtjänster som de levererar. De bidrar bland annat med estetiska kvaliteter, liksom till att sänka temperaturer och ta hand om dagvatten. Dessa funktioner blir extra viktiga i takt med att städer breder ut sig, och det blir svårare att skapa hållbara stadsmiljöer där vegetation försvinner till förmån för byggnader och hårdgjorda ytor. Detta gäller inte minst i Afrika, där urbaniseringen sker i rasande takt, utan att viktig infrastruktur, såsom dagvattenledningar eller parkmiljöer hinner utvecklas i samma takt. Detta ger städer med lägre livskvalitet än vad som skulle kunna vara möjlig. I Etiopien finns idag väldigt små trädpopulationer i städerna, dels eftersom förutsättningarna för att leva och växa är tuffa för träden i dessa miljöer, och dels för att planteringarna idag till stor del består av utländska trädarter som inte är väl anpassade till platsen. En konsekvens av det är att det finns väldigt lite skugga att tillgå i städerna, och under varma dagar blir städernas gator så varma att det är svårt att ta sig fram till fots. Det påverkar mängden motortrafik och drabbar de som inte har möjlighet att ta sig fram med bil eller buss. Att träd får en långsiktig utveckling i städerna är avgörande, eftersom träden levererar mer ekosystemtjänster ju större och äldre de blir.  Det är därför centralt för ett hållbart stadsbyggande med grön infrastruktur, att både känna till vilka ekosystemtjänster som efterfrågas på platsen och vilka arter som kan överleva på platsen och leverera dessa ekosystemtjänster.Syftet med det här projektet är att i ett första steg, genom workshops med kunniga personer inom stadsplanering och skötsel av utemiljöer i Etiopien, ta reda på vilka ekosystemtjänster som städerna har störst behov av. I ett nästa steg kommer vi att utforska vilka inhemska trädarter som skulle kunna klara av att växa i de etiopiska urbana miljöerna. Detta kommer vi att göra genom att dels studera platser i närliggande områden där växtförutsättningarna påminner om stadens, och dels genom att hämta information från exempelvis botaniska trädgårdar och personer som arbetar med träd. Därefter kommer vi att testa hur väl ett antal av de arter som uppfattas som intressanta klarar av torka eftersom torka är en av de största begränsande faktorerna för träd i städer. Vi kommer också att studera vilka de faktiska förutsättningarna är i de största städerna i Etiopien, så att vi tydligt kan koppla olika arters förmåga att hantera torka till hur mycket torka träden verkligen utsätts för. I ett sista steg kommer vi att göra kontrollerade försök där vi testar de substrat som träd planteras i idag i städerna, och jämföra de med substrat där vi försöker förbättra kvaliteten på jorden på ett hållbart sätt.Resultaten som det här projektet kommer att generera, skapar förutsättningar för att bygga mer hållbara städer i Etiopien som bidrar till en ökad livskvalitet för alla stadens invånare.

This project deals specifically with the resistance practices of the “new” civil society that challenges liberal peace interventions that began more than two decades ago, as well as the failed state structures followed from these interventions in three cases in the former Yugoslavia context: Bosnia-Herzegovina (BiH), Kosovo (KOS), and North Macedonia (MK). This cutting-edge study will explore - theoretically and empirically - the new bottom-up civil society activism that vocalize the need of improvement of social justice, material fair distribution, as well as establishing social market responsible socio-economic policies. This project, using both quantitative and qualitative research approaches, is concerned with how we can understand and explain grassroots grievance and various different civil resistance practices in stalled peace processes, how they interrelate to the broader public, as well as what magnitude of support they have in each society. Liberala fredsinterventioner initierade av det internationella samfundet på 1990-talet tycks kollapsa på olika platser i världen och ny motmotståndsaktivism ökar och ifrågasätter misslyckade västerländska stats- och fredsbyggande interventioner. Detta projekt handlar specifikt om motståndspraxisen i det "nya" civila samhället som utmanar liberala fredsinterventioner som började för mer än två decennier sedan. Civila motståndet ses som respons mot misslyckade uppbyggnads försök av statliga strukturer som följde med dessa interventioner. Tre fall ligger i fokus och handlar om kontexten i det forna Jugoslavien: Bosnien-Hercegovina (BiH), Kosovo (KOS) och Nordmakedonien (MK). De socioekonomiska förhållandena har förvärrats och offentliga missnöjesyttringar och misstro mot statliga institutioner har lett till massmobiliserade protester. Den här banbrytande studien kommer att utforska - teoretiskt och empiriskt - den nya civilsamhällets aktivism nedifrån och upp som uttrycker behovet av förbättring av social rättvisa, materiell rättvis fördelning, samt upprättande av sociala marknadsansvariga socioekonomiska riktlinjer. Forskningsfokus ligger på dessa motmotståndsaktiviteter: undvikande, brytande respektive konstruktiva motståndsmetoder. Detta projekt, som använder både kvantitativa och kvalitativa forskningsmetoder, handlar om hur vi kan förstå och förklara gräsrotsmissnöje och hur de olika civila motståndsmetoderna tillämpas i avstannade fredsprocesser samt hur de förhåller sig till den bredare allmänheten.

This project deals specifically with the resistance practices of the “new” civil society that challenges liberal peace interventions that began more than two decades ago, as well as the failed state structures followed from these interventions in three cases in the former Yugoslavia context: Bosnia-Herzegovina (BiH), Kosovo (KOS), and North Macedonia (MK). This cutting-edge study will explore - theoretically and empirically - the new bottom-up civil society activism that vocalize the need of improvement of social justice, material fair distribution, as well as establishing social market responsible socio-economic policies. This project, using both quantitative and qualitative research approaches, is concerned with how we can understand and explain grassroots grievance and various different civil resistance practices in stalled peace processes, how they interrelate to the broader public, as well as what magnitude of support they have in each society. Liberala fredsinterventioner initierade av det internationella samfundet på 1990-talet tycks kollapsa på olika platser i världen och ny motmotståndsaktivism ökar och ifrågasätter misslyckade västerländska stats- och fredsbyggande interventioner. Detta projekt handlar specifikt om motståndspraxisen i det "nya" civila samhället som utmanar liberala fredsinterventioner som började för mer än två decennier sedan. Civila motståndet ses som respons mot misslyckade uppbyggnads försök av statliga strukturer som följde med dessa interventioner. Tre fall ligger i fokus och handlar om kontexten i det forna Jugoslavien: Bosnien-Hercegovina (BiH), Kosovo (KOS) och Nordmakedonien (MK). De socioekonomiska förhållandena har förvärrats och offentliga missnöjesyttringar och misstro mot statliga institutioner har lett till massmobiliserade protester. Den här banbrytande studien kommer att utforska - teoretiskt och empiriskt - den nya civilsamhällets aktivism nedifrån och upp som uttrycker behovet av förbättring av social rättvisa, materiell rättvis fördelning, samt upprättande av sociala marknadsansvariga socioekonomiska riktlinjer. Forskningsfokus ligger på dessa motmotståndsaktiviteter: undvikande, brytande respektive konstruktiva motståndsmetoder. Detta projekt, som använder både kvantitativa och kvalitativa forskningsmetoder, handlar om hur vi kan förstå och förklara gräsrotsmissnöje och hur de olika civila motståndsmetoderna tillämpas i avstannade fredsprocesser samt hur de förhåller sig till den bredare allmänheten.

Bangladesh, Somaliland, Puntland, and Sweden show differences and similarities in providing midwifery education. Here we focus clinical midwifery education because all countries are facing challenges in providing high quality clinical midwifery education. The purpose is to provide a scientific foundation on the benefits with midwife-led care at selected clinical midwife students’ placement sites in Bangladesh, Somaliland, Puntland, and Sweden as a mean to improve the quality in clinical education. The action points in the WHO framework for establishing quality midwifery education with scientific quality care outcomes of midwife-led care, will guide the development of research questions for a research application in 2025. Through triangulation 234 master’s alumni from Dalarna University in an alumni network, meeting on-line and in field studies at midwife students’ clinical placement sites, will investigate where, at what facilites, midwife-led care can be a showcased, or prototyped in Bangladesh, Somaliland and Puntland. A working committee will meet on-line and at Dalarna University, establishing a relevant research agenda for long term collaboration and a research application to be submitted in 2025. Leadership and research workshops will be provided and reciprocal learning will improve the quality in clinical midwifery education, also in Sweden. Välutbildade barnmorskor är centrala för kvinnors hälsa globalt. Forskning visar att upp till 80 procent av dödsfall i samband med graviditet och förlossning skulle kunna undvikas om kvinnor haft tillgång till en välutbildad barnmorska. I den kliniska utbildningen till barnmorska finns utmaningar med kunskap och färdigheter i utbildningsplaner och kursplaner som inte implementeras i klinisk utbildning. Upp till 60 procent av barnmorskeutbildningen utgörs idag av klinisk utbildning. Den svenska barnmorskeutbildningen ses som ett gott exempel i världen och den kliniska utbildningen i synnerhet. Den ger insyn i en barnmorskeledd vårdmodell som Sverige utvecklat sedan 1930-talet. Trots att Sverige har nya utmaningar med bristande kompetensförsörjning, behöver Sverige liksom Bangladesh, Somaliland och Puntland värna en kvalitativ klinisk utbildning till barnmorska för återväxt av välutbildade barnmorskor. En intervention riktad mot barnmorskeutbildningens kliniska delar där de största kvalitetsförbättringspotentialen identifierats är i linje med biståndpolitiska mål i samtliga länder. I ett forskningsprogram kommer åtgärdspunkterna i Världshälsoorganistionenes ramverk för att etablera barnmorskeutbildning av hög kvalitet, och de fördelar som kommer med förbättrad kvalitet i klinisk barnmorskeutbildning, vägleda utvecklingen av forskningsfrågor. Högskolan Dalarna har utbildat 234 barnmorskelärare som tagit magisterexamen i Sexuell, reproduktiv och perinatal hälsa från Bangladesh, Somaliland och Puntland, med svenska biståndsmedel. Initiativet med ett alumninätverk kan bli starten på ett långsiktigt forskningssamarbete som kan visa på fördelarna med att införa barnmorskeledd vård på kliniska utbildningsplatser till barnmorska.

Bangladesh, Somaliland, Puntland, and Sweden show differences and similarities in providing midwifery education. Here we focus clinical midwifery education because all countries are facing challenges in providing high quality clinical midwifery education. The purpose is to provide a scientific foundation on the benefits with midwife-led care at selected clinical midwife students’ placement sites in Bangladesh, Somaliland, Puntland, and Sweden as a mean to improve the quality in clinical education. The action points in the WHO framework for establishing quality midwifery education with scientific quality care outcomes of midwife-led care, will guide the development of research questions for a research application in 2025. Through triangulation 234 master’s alumni from Dalarna University in an alumni network, meeting on-line and in field studies at midwife students’ clinical placement sites, will investigate where, at what facilites, midwife-led care can be a showcased, or prototyped in Bangladesh, Somaliland and Puntland. A working committee will meet on-line and at Dalarna University, establishing a relevant research agenda for long term collaboration and a research application to be submitted in 2025. Leadership and research workshops will be provided and reciprocal learning will improve the quality in clinical midwifery education, also in Sweden. Välutbildade barnmorskor är centrala för kvinnors hälsa globalt. Forskning visar att upp till 80 procent av dödsfall i samband med graviditet och förlossning skulle kunna undvikas om kvinnor haft tillgång till en välutbildad barnmorska. I den kliniska utbildningen till barnmorska finns utmaningar med kunskap och färdigheter i utbildningsplaner och kursplaner som inte implementeras i klinisk utbildning. Upp till 60 procent av barnmorskeutbildningen utgörs idag av klinisk utbildning. Den svenska barnmorskeutbildningen ses som ett gott exempel i världen och den kliniska utbildningen i synnerhet. Den ger insyn i en barnmorskeledd vårdmodell som Sverige utvecklat sedan 1930-talet. Trots att Sverige har nya utmaningar med bristande kompetensförsörjning, behöver Sverige liksom Bangladesh, Somaliland och Puntland värna en kvalitativ klinisk utbildning till barnmorska för återväxt av välutbildade barnmorskor. En intervention riktad mot barnmorskeutbildningens kliniska delar där de största kvalitetsförbättringspotentialen identifierats är i linje med biståndpolitiska mål i samtliga länder. I ett forskningsprogram kommer åtgärdspunkterna i Världshälsoorganistionenes ramverk för att etablera barnmorskeutbildning av hög kvalitet, och de fördelar som kommer med förbättrad kvalitet i klinisk barnmorskeutbildning, vägleda utvecklingen av forskningsfrågor. Högskolan Dalarna har utbildat 234 barnmorskelärare som tagit magisterexamen i Sexuell, reproduktiv och perinatal hälsa från Bangladesh, Somaliland och Puntland, med svenska biståndsmedel. Initiativet med ett alumninätverk kan bli starten på ett långsiktigt forskningssamarbete som kan visa på fördelarna med att införa barnmorskeledd vård på kliniska utbildningsplatser till barnmorska. En kommitte kommer att leda alumninätverkets möten och workshops virtuellt och på Högskolan Dalarna.

The research questions are: i) how do feminist organizations in Bolivia and Ecuador mobilize and advocate for safe abortion? and ii) how can advocacy for safe abortion be strengthened?The tasks will be undertaken by building upon the theoretical and methodological concept of ‘narrative production’ through engagement with diverse feminist organizations in: i) co-constructing narratives through meetings with four to six feminist organizations in each country; ii) collectively discussing through national workshops, and iii) working together with these feminist organizations for advocacy and network creation. We will hold research meetings in each of the countries. The project will finish with a joint workshop in Bolivia, to which researchers and activists from other countries will also be invited. This collaboration centres around six researchers working in five research institutions in Bolivia, Ecuador and Sweden. This project will lay the foundation for developing larger research proposals and engage additional countries in Latin America. Knowledge production and network strengthening will contribute to improving women’s sexual and reproductive rights in a region where restrictive legislation currently hinders access to safe abortion and endangers lives and wellbeing. Syftet med det här projektet är att stärka feministiska nätverk som arbetar för säkra aborter i Bolivia och Ecuador. Vi kommer att göra detta genom att utveckla samarbeten mellan feministiska forskare och aktivister i de två länderna samt i Sverige.Tillgången till säkra aborter är begränsad i många länder i Latinamerika och Karibien på grund av restriktiv lagstiftning. Situationen inskränker kvinnors makt att besluta över sina egna kroppar och liv, har negativa effekter på hälsa och välmående, förvärrar ojämlikheter (särskilt könade ojämlikheter) och förhindrar utveckling. Samtidigt arbetar flera feministiska organisationer i regionen för säkrare aborter och har nått vissa framgångar i länder som Argentina och Colombia.

The research questions are: i) how do feminist organizations in Bolivia and Ecuador mobilize and advocate for safe abortion? and ii) how can advocacy for safe abortion be strengthened?The tasks will be undertaken by building upon the theoretical and methodological concept of ‘narrative production’ through engagement with diverse feminist organizations in: i) co-constructing narratives through meetings with four to six feminist organizations in each country; ii) collectively discussing through national workshops, and iii) working together with these feminist organizations for advocacy and network creation. We will hold research meetings in each of the countries. The project will finish with a joint workshop in Bolivia, to which researchers and activists from other countries will also be invited. This collaboration centres around six researchers working in five research institutions in Bolivia, Ecuador and Sweden. This project will lay the foundation for developing larger research proposals and engage additional countries in Latin America. Knowledge production and network strengthening will contribute to improving women’s sexual and reproductive rights in a region where restrictive legislation currently hinders access to safe abortion and endangers lives and wellbeing. Syftet med det här projektet är att stärka feministiska nätverk som arbetar för säkra aborter i Bolivia och Ecuador. Vi kommer att göra detta genom att utveckla samarbeten mellan feministiska forskare och aktivister i de två länderna samt i Sverige.Tillgången till säkra aborter är begränsad i många länder i Latinamerika och Karibien på grund av restriktiv lagstiftning. Situationen inskränker kvinnors makt att besluta över sina egna kroppar och liv, har negativa effekter på hälsa och välmående, förvärrar ojämlikheter (särskilt könade ojämlikheter) och förhindrar utveckling. Samtidigt arbetar flera feministiska organisationer i regionen för säkrare aborter och har nått vissa framgångar i länder som Argentina och Colombia.

This project is to develop resource recovery from food-grade residuals in form of filamentous fungi for food production. These fungi are already used in Asian dishes as e.g. Indonesian tempeh or Japanese koji grown on e.g. soybeans. The project applicants are from Sweden (University of Borås, Chalmers University of Technology) and Indonesia (Gadjah Mada University, University of Lampung). These applicants have long experience in working with fungi. However, this project is defined to make a strong network between Sweden and Indonesia to further develop production of edible filamentous fungi from food grade residuals, and to produce fungal-based meat resembles from fungi. Relevant companies will also be involved to share their expertise and resources in order to achieve this goal. This collaborative project is expected to contribute to reduce the stunting as one major nutrition problem in Indonesia by providing a low-cost protein alternative. The scientific goals include (i) to develop a robust submerged liquid fermentation technology to produce mycoprotein from food grade by-products,(ii) to improve the texture of the mycoprotein to mimic meat fibers, (iii) to asses the nutritional values and safety of the mycoprotein as meat alternatives. The scientific results will be published in open access international journals. I Världen finns snart 8 miljarder människor som behöver mat bestående av proteinkällor. Å andra sidan har livsmedelsindustrin stor miljöpåverkan genom tex matrester som hamnar i deponi. Frågan är huruvida det går att återvinna matrester med svampar för att producera ny klimatsmart mat som också smakar bra? Forskarna i detta projekt har jobbat många år med svampodling och även matproduktion, men vill nu jobba tillsammans för att bidra till flera av de globala målen. Detta samarbetsprojekt syftar till att utveckla klimatsmart protein av trådsvampar som odlats i matrester. Den filamentösa svampbiomassan som ibland kallas mykoprotein har liknande proteinkvalitet som kött och kyckling men med betydligt lägre miljöpåverkan. Högskolan i Borås och Chalmers har jobbat i mer är 20 år med att utveckla kunskap och teknik för produktion av svampbiomassa från olika avfallsströmmar. Samtidigt har de indonesiska universiteten i detta projekt lång erfarenhet av att utveckla nya livsmedelsprodukter inklusive sensoriska konsumentstudier och andra sociala aspekter av ätbara trådsvampar. De har dock i nuläget brist på teknik för storskalig produktion av svampbiomassa. Kunskapen och tekniken som utvecklats av universiteten i detta projekt kommer att delas mellan olika industrier, verksamma inom palmolja och tempeh branscher i Indonesien. Genom att samverka mellan de olika experter och resurser i projektet kan detta samarbetsprojekt förväntas bidra till en minskad miljöpåverkan och samtidigt tillhandahålla ett billigt proteinalternativ  till Indonesien. Detta projekt bidrar också till att lösa miljöproblem orsakade av oönskad felaktig hantering av matavfall. Dessutom skulle livsmedelsföretag kunna få en extra inkomst genom att producera och sälja mykoproteinet. Detta projekt bidrar också till att få ökad kunskap om metaboliska vägar för att omvandla matrester till biomassa, och växtbaserade kemikalier för tvärbindningsmedel som kan efterlikna köttfiber med hög näringskvalitet.

This 4-year project aims to explore how immune checkpoint molecules are modulated in MDR-TB patients depending on clinical disease severity and bacterial strain virulence. Our original findings from TB patients show that antimicrobial macrophage and T cell responses are severely impaired, while myeloid-derived suppressor cells and regulatory T cells expand in the TB lesions. To advance our understanding of immunoregulation in MDR-TB compared to drug-susceptible TB, we will examine stimulatory and inhibitory checkpoint molecules in a well-defined patient cohort in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. We will model disease progression and quantify disease severity at enrolment and after chemotherapy using a composite clinical TB score and chest X-ray grading. Drug susceptibility testing will determine the level of resistance and genotyping of patient´s strains will signify bacterial virulence. Longitudinal assessment of checkpoint molecules in peripheral blood and induced sputum samples involves deep profiling with RNA-sequencing, multicolor flow cytometry and in vitro suppression assays. We will also exploit in situ imaging of resected lung tissue from MDR-TB patients. This collaborative project offers untapped opportunities for translating new advances on checkpoint molecules in chronic infections into clinical applications for MDR-TB. Tuberkulos (TB) är en bakteriell lungsjukdom och en av världens största infektionssjukdomar med ett starkt fäste i utvecklingsländer i Afrika och Asien. Ett allvarligt hot mot den globala kontrollen av TB är utvecklingen av antibiotikaresistens och framför allt multidrogresistent TB sk. MDR-TB. Få studier görs för att bringa klarhet i de patogena mekanismerna som förknippas med MDR-TB och hur dessa skiljer sig från antibiotika-känsliga stammar. Vi vet också förhållandevis lite om hur hypervirulenta MDR-TB stammar modulerar skyddande immunitet och vilken effekt det kan ha på sjukdomsutveckling. Det här projektet syftar till att utforska sjukdomsmekanismer vid MDR-TB med fokus på regulatoriska immunceller och uttryck av immunmodulerande receptorer sk. checkpoint molekyler eller kontrollpunktsmolekyler. Vi har tidigare upptäckt att antimikrobiell immunitet är nedreglerad vid aktiv sjukdom, medan immunsuppressiva celltyper anrikas vid infektionsstället. I forskningssamarbete med Etiopien, kommer vi att rekrytera en patientkohort för att studera immunsvar och uttrycket av en rad olika checkpoint molekyler i blod- och hostprover som tas från patienterna vid tiden för diagnos samt vid olika tidpunkter efter start av antibiotikabehandling. Dessa immunsvar kommer även att studeras i lungvävnad som erhålls från MDR-TB patienter som genomgår kirurgi för att begränsa sjukdomen. Proverna analyseras med avancerade metoder såsom RNA-sekvensering, flödescytometri och bildanalys, som har potentialen att producera resultat med mycket hög upplösning utifrån väldigt små provmängder. Perifera immunsvar i blodet kommer att jämföras med immunsvar lokalt i lungan och relateras till svårighetsgraden av sjukdom som bedöms och mäts utifrån kliniska symptom samt lungröntgenfynd. Vår förhoppning är att projektet ska bidra med unik kunskap kring hur uttrycket av checkpoint molekyler styrs vid kronisk TB infektion vilket öppnar upp möjligheter för utveckling av nya behandlingsformer för MDR-TB.

Rodents can carry zoonotic pathogens, including orthohantaviruses, and Leptospira spp, but also many unknown pathogens. In this project we will understand transmission ecology of rodent-borne diseases in urban and peri-urban low-income settings in two Kenyan towns. We will trap rodents along the urban food production supply, including livestock farms, slaughterhouses, food markets, as well as clinics as an environment that should not be contaminated with zoonotic diseases. The rodents will be euthanized, sampled, and samples will be analyzed for hantaviruses and Leptospira, as well as analyzed with an omics approach, to identify unknown viruses, and the entire rodent virome will be analyzed and compared to sequences from other parts of the world. We will interview households about their knowledge and perceptions about rodents and diseases, as well as map the urban pest control programs in East Africa. This project will lead to increased knowledge about rodent-borne diseases in East Africa, and how this may influence food security, poverty as well as human health. In addition, the project will investigate improved mitigation methods for sustainable positive impact on human health and livelihoods. I de snabbt växande städerna i östra Afrika finns inte bara många människor, men också den boskap som behövs för att tillgodose städernas befolkning med mat. Runt om människor och tamdjur finns det även minst lika många oönskade djur, framförallt råttor och andra gnagare, som lever på sopor och annat avskräde. Gnagare är välkända för att kunna bära på smittor, och några av de allvarliga infektioner de kan bära på är bakterier (som orsakar till exempel leptospiros och pest), hantavirus, coronavirus och även många hittills okända virus. I låginkomstområden med bristande sanitet bidrar gnagare såsom råttor inte bara till sjukdomsspridning, men de äter även av mat och foder, och påverkar därmed livsmedelstillgång och ekonomi.  Vi saknar mycket information om hur mycket gnagare påverkar människors hälsa och försörjning, liksom vilka sjukdomar de kan sprida till människor. I det här projektet kommer vi att fånga råttor i och omkring 2 städer i Kenya. Råttorna avlivas sedan med en överdos av sömnmedel, och obduceras för att leta efter både kända och okända smittor. Vi kommer att fånga gnagare längs hela den urbana matproduktionskedjan; på gårdar, på slakterier och även bland hushåll.

Vi kommer att fånga gnagare längs hela den urbana matproduktionskedjan; på gårdar, på slakterier och även bland hushåll. Som en kontroll på en miljö där gnagare inte borde ha utsatts för sjukdomar från  djur och djurprodukter, inkluderar vi även kliniker.

Rodents can carry zoonotic pathogens, including orthohantaviruses, and Leptospira spp, but also many unknown pathogens. In this project we will understand transmission ecology of rodent-borne diseases in urban and peri-urban low-income settings in two Kenyan towns. We will trap rodents along the urban food production supply, including livestock farms, slaughterhouses, food markets, as well as clinics as an environment that should not be contaminated with zoonotic diseases. The rodents will be euthanized, sampled, and samples will be analyzed for hantaviruses and Leptospira, as well as analyzed with an omics approach, to identify unknown viruses, and the entire rodent virome will be analyzed and compared to sequences from other parts of the world. We will interview households about their knowledge and perceptions about rodents and diseases, as well as map the urban pest control programs in East Africa. This project will lead to increased knowledge about rodent-borne diseases in East Africa, and how this may influence food security, poverty as well as human health. In addition, the project will investigate improved mitigation methods for sustainable positive impact on human health and livelihoods. I de snabbt växande städerna i östra Afrika finns inte bara många människor, men också den boskap som behövs för att tillgodose städernas befolkning med mat. Runt om människor och tamdjur finns det även minst lika många oönskade djur, framförallt råttor och andra gnagare, som lever på sopor och annat avskräde. Gnagare är välkända för att kunna bära på smittor, och några av de allvarliga infektioner de kan bära på är bakterier (som orsakar till exempel leptospiros och pest), hantavirus, coronavirus och även många hittills okända virus. I låginkomstområden med bristande sanitet bidrar gnagare såsom råttor inte bara till sjukdomsspridning, men de äter även av mat och foder, och påverkar därmed livsmedelstillgång och ekonomi.  Vi saknar mycket information om hur mycket gnagare påverkar människors hälsa och försörjning, liksom vilka sjukdomar de kan sprida till människor.

The zoonotic infections of Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) from pigs and via mosquitoes to humans, causes most serious human acute viral meningitis in Asia. The recent replacement of JEV genotype III with genotype I highlights the alteration of JE epidemiology with ill-understood questions. How JEV evolves along the host axis and especially how these changes are linked to the virulence evolution, are the key scientific questions for understanding the epidemiology of JE, which will provide valuable knowledge for updating the JE vaccine program for animals and humans. To this end, the proposal aims to decipher JEV virulence evolution features by epidemiological and phylogenomic studies of JEV along its transmission chains between pigs, mosquitoes, and humans in Vietnam and Cambodia. Furthermore, we will employ omics approaches and application of susceptible cell, mosquito, and mouse models to evaluate the mutations of interest and their association with viral virulence. Additionally, based on the theory of convergent evolution in RNA viruses, we will establish laboratory infection cycles of JEV to identify the key mutations that might emerge in future outbreaks. Altogether, this project will yield comprehensive knowledge on virulence evolution of JEV, which will help reducing JE disease burden in the southeast Asia. Virulens används vanligtvis för att definiera hur farliga patogenerna är för värdarna. Detta projekt kommer att undersöka om de nya JEV-varianterna från grisar och vissa myggarter kan bli farligare för människor och till och med kunna orsaka större utbrott i Vietnam och Kambodja, där JE är en konstant sjukdomsbörda. Genom att studera virusets genetiska skillnader från JE patienter med olika klinisk svårighetsgrad kommer vi att förstå hur sjukdomsbild är relaterad till de genetiska förändringarna. Vi kommer också att utvärdera viruset genom att använda cell-, mygg- och mus-modeller. I dessa modeller kommer vi att se hur dessa olika JEV-varianter beter sig och om några infektionsmönster kan kopplas till specifik JEV-typ.Denna studie kommer också att använda flera ”omics-metoder”, som syftar till kollektiv karaktärisering och kvantifiering av pooler av biologiska molekyler. Vi kommer att samla JE-patientprover och försöka förstå JEV-infektionen på molekylär nivå genom att bl.a. sekvensera alla RNA-transkript och kvantifiera tusentals proteiner.Sist, men inte minst, kommer vi att använda en så kallad "bottom up"-metod för att efterlikna JEV överföringscykler i laboratoriet. JEV-infektionerna kommer att överföras mellan grisceller och myggor. Efter det kommer vi att sekvensera det genetiska materialet för att se hur virus förändrats.

In response, there has been growing attention to the situation of communities exposed to industrial pollution. Paradoxically, this has gone hand in hand with the scholarly disregard for the concomitant proliferation of domestic pollution in communities with no industrial activities but under colonial pressures. This study addresses this gap by exploring the case of Guarani communities in Bolivia. It does so applying a collaborative approach that confronts asymmetries between Indigenous and non-Indigenous knowledges and practices that contribute to the colonial enunciation, subalternation, and disruption of local sustainable lifeways. The aim is twofold: to provide a profound understanding of Indigenous discursive and practical approaches to pollution within present colonial contexts, and to determine the epistemological and social potential of collaborative research in relation to pollution issues. Theoretically situated at the intersection of political ontology and decolonial theory, this study proposes the use of ethnographic and Indigenous research-based methods. Apart from advancing ongoing debates on decolonial collaboration and pollution within Indigenous contexts, the study contributes to generating a more balanced production, circulation, and use of research.

The causes are multifactorial, but occupational heat stress is an important driver. In addition, the increasing prevalence of diabetes and hypertension in countries in transition poses a double burden of risks for CKD.Heat impacts mortality among migrant workers and thousands have been reported dying in Qatar alone while working on the World Cup construction sites. Nepalese clinicians have identified CKDnT as an emerging problem among young men returning from work in the Gulf States, India and Malaysia. Without documentation of the disease and its relation to work abroad, there is no basis with which to address the needs of those affected.Working with the Nepal Development Society, a research NGO in Nepal, we aim toCompare the distribution of eGFR and the prevalence and determinants of CKD and CKDnT among migrants and non-migrantsEstimate the economic and social impact of kidney disease on individuals, families, communities and health systemsDevelop and distribute education materials for preventing heat-related ill-health among migrants and their familiesClimate change and the precarity of migratory work threaten to increase the incidence of a disease that is expensive to treat. Nepal has an economy dependent on remittances and its health system cannot absorb the burden of dialysis treatment and subsequent lost productivity. This makes prevention paramount. I hela världen ser man en ökning av kronisk njursjukdom, som brukar förklaras av diabetes och högt blodtryck,  Samtidigt finns det en epidemi av njursjukdom utan sådana riskfaktorer, som främst drabbar unga arbetare i tropiskt  klimat. Mycket talar för att tungt arbete i hetta utan vila och vatten orsakar upprepade njurskador.

The causes are multifactorial, but occupational heat stress is an important driver. In addition, the increasing prevalence of diabetes and hypertension in countries in transition poses a double burden of risks for CKD.Heat impacts mortality among migrant workers and thousands have been reported dying in Qatar alone while working on the World Cup construction sites. Nepalese clinicians have identified CKDnT as an emerging problem among young men returning from work in the Gulf States, India and Malaysia. Without documentation of the disease and its relation to work abroad, there is no basis with which to address the needs of those affected.Working with the Nepal Development Society, a research NGO in Nepal, we aim toCompare the distribution of eGFR and the prevalence and determinants of CKD and CKDnT among migrants and non-migrantsEstimate the economic and social impact of kidney disease on individuals, families, communities and health systemsDevelop and distribute education materials for preventing heat-related ill-health among migrants and their familiesClimate change and the precarity of migratory work threaten to increase the incidence of a disease that is expensive to treat. Nepal has an economy dependent on remittances and its health system cannot absorb the burden of dialysis treatment and subsequent lost productivity. This makes prevention paramount. I hela världen ser man en ökning av kronisk njursjukdom, som brukar förklaras av diabetes och högt blodtryck,  Samtidigt finns det en epidemi av njursjukdom utan sådana riskfaktorer, som främst drabbar unga arbetare i tropiskt  klimat. Mycket talar för att tungt arbete i hetta utan vila och vatten orsakar upprepade njurskador. När arbetare blir svårt sjuka drabbas också deras  familjer och lokalsamhällen.  Att behandla kronisk njursvikt är så gott som omöjligt i länder med små resurser.

This has two important consequences. First, yields are low, contributing to poverty and underdevelopment. Second, climate adaptation – which necessitates the adoption of new capital-intensive, low-emissions, robust approaches – is slowed.We argue that a crucial contributor to this problem is the learning problem. It is fundamentally hard for farmers to learn what are the optimal inputs for their farm. As a result, they may not learn at all.We propose a packaged program to solve this problem, Empowering Agriculturalists through Structured Experimentation (EASE). The goal is to teach farmers to conduct structured agricultural experiments on their own land, and document the results in a structured way. This can reveal what inputs work best for them. In essence, it empowers smallholder farmers to identify for themselves how best to run their farm, rather than having to rely on outside advisors or for-profit input suppliers.The project will evaluate the impact of the EASE program through a large-scale Randomized Controlled Trial in Eastern Uganda. We evaluate its impacts on learning about a new input, which the participants choose for themselves, as well as about how farmers adapt their general approach to learning and experimentation. By evaluating the impacts, as well as the costs of the program, we can develop a proven intervention ready to be offered at scale.

Det består av två delar:1. Utbildning i hur man utför strukturerade experiment genom att använda en ny insatsvara. 2. Utbildning i hur man utför strukturerad dokumentation av sina rön.EASE kan hjälpa bönder att lära sig om avkastningen på den nya insatsvaran och besluta om huruvida och hur den ska anpassas i framtiden.

The situation is particularly alarming in Low- and Middle-Income Countries (LMICs), since easy-to-use tools for identifying AMR bacteria are lacking. The goal of this project is to develop and use two fluorescence microscope-based assays to detect carriage and infections of AMR bacteria. The project is a collaboration with the neonatal ward at Muhimbili National Hospital (MNH) in Dar es-Salaam, Tanzania. Tanzania is one of ca 85 LMICs where simple fluorescence microscopes are used to diagnose tuberculosis. We will repurpose these microscopes for AMR detection assays, which means that there is no cost for infrastructure. We will focus on neonates because they are a highly vulnerable population prone to acquire hospital infections. We believe that interventions based on this project will have immediate clinical impact on neonatal care. However, the methods developed are applicable in any hospital ward. The first assay is based on PNA-FISH and can be used to identify AMR bacteria in complex samples. We will focus on detecting K. pneumoniae and E. coli in fecal samples. The second is a genetic analysis that will identify resistance genes in the detected bacteria. The project includes assay development in Sweden, a screen for AMR bacteria at the neonatal ward at MNH, teaching of the assays to MNH staff, and implementation of the assays for infection control interventions in the neonatal ward at MNH. Antibiotikaresistens är ett stort hot mot global hälsa. Problemen är alarmerande i låg-och-medelinkomstländer (LMICs) då effektiva metoder för att identifiera resistenta bakterier saknas. Förtidigt födda barn är extra känsliga för resistenta infektioner då dom har ett begränsat immunförsvar och dödligheten på neonatalavdelningar i LMICs är hög.En viktig del av att bekämpa resistenta bakterier är att utveckla metoder för att identifiera och karakterisera bakterier som är lämpliga i LMICs. En möjlig strategi är att utveckla nya metoder som använder utrustning som redan finns i de här länderna. Vi ska i detta projekt utnyttja att diagnostik av tuberkulos i många LMICs redan sker med enkel fluorescensmikroskopi.Vi ska utveckla två metoder. Den första metoden är baserad på att i avföringsprover identifiera om en patient är koloniserad av resistenta bakterier. Detta för att kunna isolera patienter som bär på farliga bakterier för att minimera spridning. Den andra metoden gör det möjligt att detektera de gener som gör bakterierna resistenta. Detta för att förstå hur bakterier sprider sig i sjukhusmiljön och minska framtida utbrott.Vi kommer att fokusera på E. coli och K. pneumoniae som är på WHOs lista över farliga bakterier som ofta är resistenta mot vanliga antibiotika. Vi kommer att implementera metoderna på neonatalavdelningen på Muhimbili National Hospital (MNH) i Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. MNH har stor erfarenhet av internationella samarbeten och en neonatalläkare i projektet har erfarenhet av vård på MNH, vilket underlättar implementeringen.Studierna på MNH är uppdelade i tre faser. I den första ska vi med traditionella metoder studera resistensläget på neonatalavdelningen. Prover som samlats in skickas till Sverige för optimering av metoderna. I nästa steg ska vi träna personal från MNH på metoderna, både i Sverige och på plats. Under tredje året används metoderna i klinisk rutin och bidra med en plan för hur spridning kan minimeras på neonatalavdelningen.

During the two years since the virus and the disease was first discovered, COVID-19 has by mid-March 2022 caused at least 480 million infections and 6.2 million deaths world-wide. The pandemic hit unevenly across the world population, with characteristics such as age, male sex, underlying conditions, and host genetics influencing the risk of developing severe disease. Interestingly, available data suggests that East African countries such as Uganda have been relatively less affected in terms of severe COVID-19 disease and mortality compared to many western countries, despite very limited and delayed vaccine availability. In this proposal, we hypothesize that pre-existing T cell immunity to coronaviruses gained before the pandemic may influence these patterns of susceptibility to severe COVID-19. To address this possibility, we will utilize the Ugandan arm of the RV329 African Cohort Study (AFRICOS), which has a retrospective longitudinal set of cryopreserved samples covering pre-pandemic and pandemic time-points. This cohort will also allow us to address the impact of HIV-1 infection on the characteristics of pre-existing immunity. We anticipate that the proposed experiments, together with the comprehensive clinical data collected in the AFRICOS study, will significantly enhance our understanding of the role of pre-existing T cell immunity to protect from severe COVID-19. COVID-19 har under de två åren som gått sedan sjukdomen och det nya viruset SARS-CoV-2 identifierades, orsakat mycket lidande världen över med hundratals miljoner infekterade och ett antal miljoner döda i sjukdomen. Trots att många länder i Afrika är hårt utsatta för infektionssjukdomar som malaria, HIV, och flera andra virussjukdomar, så har COVID-19 slagit mindre mot vissa länder särskilt i östra Afrika jämfört med länder i Europa och Amerika.

During the two years since the virus and the disease was first discovered, COVID-19 has by mid-March 2022 caused at least 480 million infections and 6.2 million deaths world-wide. The pandemic hit unevenly across the world population, with characteristics such as age, male sex, underlying conditions, and host genetics influencing the risk of developing severe disease. Interestingly, available data suggests that East African countries such as Uganda have been relatively less affected in terms of severe COVID-19 disease and mortality compared to many western countries, despite very limited and delayed vaccine availability. In this proposal, we hypothesize that pre-existing T cell immunity to coronaviruses gained before the pandemic may influence these patterns of susceptibility to severe COVID-19. To address this possibility, we will utilize the Ugandan arm of the RV329 African Cohort Study (AFRICOS), which has a retrospective longitudinal set of cryopreserved samples covering pre-pandemic and pandemic time-points. This cohort will also allow us to address the impact of HIV-1 infection on the characteristics of pre-existing immunity. We anticipate that the proposed experiments, together with the comprehensive clinical data collected in the AFRICOS study, will significantly enhance our understanding of the role of pre-existing T cell immunity to protect from severe COVID-19. COVID-19 har under de två åren som gått sedan sjukdomen och det nya viruset SARS-CoV-2 identifierades, orsakat mycket lidande världen över med hundratals miljoner infekterade och ett antal miljoner döda i sjukdomen.

The recent outbreak of maize ER in Rwanda made it critical to formulate a strategy for sustainable ER control in Rwanda. The current project aims to generate the crucial scientific knowledge to formulate strategies for improving maize productivity and quality through ensuring ER disease control. We will use a comprehensive approach combining farmers training and awareness with field survey on ER occurrence, distribution and risk factors conducive for disease development (year 1 and 2). We will identify genetic factors associated with the virulence determinants in ER pathogens, and ER resistance in maize through population genomics and transcriptomics (year 3 and 4). Since ER pathogens can co-occur, we will investigate whether pathogen co-infection have synergistic or antagonistic effects on ER development, mycotoxin production and plant disease resistance under normal and abiotic stress conditions. This project will provide scientific knowledge vital for improving maize productivity and quality through ensuring ER disease control and extension support services to farmers.

Majs är en viktig basföda för människor i Afrika söder om Sahara, och har därför en stor betydelse för livsmedelsförsörjning, livsmedelssäkerhet och inkomster för småskaliga jordbrukare. Majs är därför en prioriterad gröda i det nationella programmet för intensifierad jordbruksproduktion (NCIP) i Rwanda. Trots detta är produktionsnivån av majs i Rwanda fortfarande ytterst låg (1,5 ton/ha) jämfört med en potentiell produktion om 5 ton/ha. Kolv- och kärnröta hos majs är en allvarlig sjukdom som orsakas av flera olika svampar främst från släktena Fusarium, Aspergillus, Penicillium, Cladosporium och Trichothecium. Sjukdomen resulterar i stora skördeförluster, men även kontaminering av giftiga mykotoxiner i majskärnorna både på åkern och under lagring. Dessa mykotoxiner är ytterst giftiga för människor och djur som konsumerar majsen, vilket är ett hot mot både livsmedelsförsörjning och livsmedelssäkerhet. Därför är det av yttersta vikt att förhindra den initiala sjukdomsinfektionen av majsen för att minimera skördeförluster och hälsorisker.I projektet arbetar vi med att öka kunskaperna om sjukdomens utbredning i Rwanda och dess riskfaktorer, patogenernas virulens och deras samverkan, samt med sjukdomsresistens hos befintliga majssorter. Målet är att utveckla strategier för ett effektivt och långsiktigt hållbart växtskydd för majs i Rwanda. Vi arbetar också med utbildningsprogram för lantbrukare för att öka kunskaperna och medvetenheten om mykotoxiner och deras negativa hälsoeffekter, samt om åtgärder för växtskydd och lagring som kan maximera skördar men minimera hälsorisker. Sammanfattningsvis så bidrar projektet med att generera och sprida vetenskaplig kunskap som är nödvändig för att öka produktion av majs av hög kvalité i Rwanda, för att på så sätt säkerställa en god livsmedelsförsörjning och hög livsmedelssäkerhet.

In Uganda, a wide variety of febrile diseases and acute central nervous system infections are causing important issues for public health, particularly for children, where more than half of these syndromes remain undiagnosed. This is mainly due to (i) the breadth and diversity of aetiological agents originating from the environment, human population or animals; and (ii) the lack of knowledge and health infrastructure that can serve the community. This is a significant cause for concern, as many patients require critical care and long-term neurological sequelae are common among survivors. Therefore, partners from Sweden and Uganda will initiate a research network, where we (I) join forces and combine our current research efforts to create a One Health oriented team to study human health in the context of undiagnosed infectious diseases.

We explain differences in the role of taxes in reducing inequality across time and space and offer strategies that are more likely to stimulate wider development gains from taxation. The primary contribution and originality of the project is the study of power relationships and how different capacities for collective action shape the inequality-alleviation effects of taxes from the colonial era to the present.The project consists of one postdoctoral researcher and two senior researchers and is conducted over four years. Eight African countries are included for which we have already collected and/or have access to much of the requisite data. For each country we conduct an econometric analysis of the relationship between taxes and income distribution and differences in the performance of fiscal policy. We then proceed to construct historical analytical narratives of the political economy of taxation to identify context specific factors that underpin the relationship between taxation and income inequality.The project will provide a solid analysis that will be instrumental for donor agencies, policy makers and civil society actors who are today looking for the best way to translate increased taxation into more inclusive and sustainable development. Det är allmänt känt att hög inkomstojämlikhet försvårar fattigdomsbekämpning i Afrika. Det har lett både forskare och folk som arbetar med utvecklingsarbete att argumentera för behovet bland afrikanska regeringar att samla in mer skatter som kan spenderas för att reducera inkomstojämlikheter. Samtidigt finns det tecken på att ökade skatteintäkter i flera afrikanska länder inte har lett till minskad ojämlikhet. Fattiga och andra marginaliserade grupper får oftast bära den tyngsta skattebördan i afrikanska länder. Samtidigt får de lite tillbaka i form av tillgång på offentliga varor och tjänster. Det tyder på att problemet kanske inte är hur mycket skatter som afrikanska regeringar samlar in, utan brister i strategier kring hur skattemedel fördelas.Syftet med projektet är att identifiera de faktorer som möjliggör eller försvårar ett effektivt sätt att använda skattemedel för att minska inkomstojämlikheter i Afrika söder om Sahara. Projektet kommer att använda sig av ett politisk-ekonomiskt angreppssätt. Fokus kommer att ligga på att identifiera och analysera olika intressegruppers relationer till varandra och deras förmåga att arbeta för eller emot en högre grad av omfördelning av skatteintäkter. Projektet kommer att jämföra skattesystemen, omfördelningspolitiken och olika intressegruppers agerande i åtta afrikanska länder – Botswana, Ghana, Kenya, Malawi, Mauritius, Uganda, Ethiopia och Zimbabwe.

We explain differences in the role of taxes in reducing inequality across time and space and offer strategies that are more likely to stimulate wider development gains from taxation. The primary contribution and originality of the project is the study of power relationships and how different capacities for collective action shape the inequality-alleviation effects of taxes from the colonial era to the present.The project consists of one postdoctoral researcher and two senior researchers and is conducted over four years. Eight African countries are included for which we have already collected and/or have access to much of the requisite data. For each country we conduct an econometric analysis of the relationship between taxes and income distribution and differences in the performance of fiscal policy. We then proceed to construct historical analytical narratives of the political economy of taxation to identify context specific factors that underpin the relationship between taxation and income inequality.The project will provide a solid analysis that will be instrumental for donor agencies, policy makers and civil society actors who are today looking for the best way to translate increased taxation into more inclusive and sustainable development. Det är allmänt känt att hög inkomstojämlikhet försvårar fattigdomsbekämpning i Afrika. Det har lett både forskare och folk som arbetar med utvecklingsarbete att argumentera för behovet bland afrikanska regeringar att samla in mer skatter som kan spenderas för att reducera inkomstojämlikheter. Samtidigt finns det tecken på att ökade skatteintäkter i flera afrikanska länder inte har lett till minskad ojämlikhet. Fattiga och andra marginaliserade grupper får oftast bära den tyngsta skattebördan i afrikanska länder. Samtidigt får de lite tillbaka i form av tillgång på offentliga varor och tjänster. Det tyder på att problemet kanske inte är hur mycket skatter som afrikanska regeringar samlar in, utan brister i strategier kring hur skattemedel fördelas.Syftet med projektet är att identifiera de faktorer som möjliggör eller försvårar ett effektivt sätt att använda skattemedel för att minska inkomstojämlikheter i Afrika söder om Sahara. Projektet kommer att använda sig av ett politisk-ekonomiskt angreppssätt. Fokus kommer att ligga på att identifiera och analysera olika intressegruppers relationer till varandra och deras förmåga att arbeta för eller emot en högre grad av omfördelning av skatteintäkter. Projektet kommer att jämföra skattesystemen, omfördelningspolitiken och olika intressegruppers agerande i åtta afrikanska länder – Botswana, Ghana, Kenya, Malawi, Mauritius, Uganda, Ethiopia och Zimbabwe. För varje land kommer vi att genomföra en kvantitativ och kvalitativ analys. Den förra syftar att identifiera sambanden mellan skatteintäkter och ojämlikhet över tid.

As this gains further traction, it could lead to a sharp increase in vaccine hesitancy rates and weaken confidence in other essential vaccines. The broader aim of this project is to monitor and respond to vaccine hesitancy among health workers and the population in four African countries. Targeting health workers is a good starting point to addressing vaccine hesitancy within their own networks since health workers are often severely affected by pandemics and health threats due to their occupational risk. Vaccines can protect health workers, the health system and the patients they care for. Health workers are also important for maintaining and building vaccine confidence in the wider community, given their roles in vaccine delivery, information giving and promotion. Therefore, they need to be seen as trusted and important allies in building nationwide vaccine confidence for existing and emerging vaccines.

Each year, more than 96 million tons of yam (Dioscorea spp.) are produced in Sub-Saharan Africa on an area of 8.3 M Ha. Over 95% of this production lies in Nigeria, Benin, Togo, Ghana, and Côte d´Ivoire. Therefore, yam has a high potential to mitigate at least three of the 17 sustainable development goals: ”No Poverty”, “Zero Hunger” and “Good Health and Well-being”.Yam is a climbing vine with an indeterminate growth habit that, for optimal yield, needs to grow on a support, usually in the form of stakes making cost effective mechanization difficult. Developing yam varieties that yield well without growth support is a prioritized goal among yam breeders. Since such varieties are not available, we propose to study molecular factors controlling plant architecture using metabolomics and transcriptomics to identify key genes and signaling mechanisms regulating growth habit. Such results will be crucial to design molecular markers to be used in yam breeding programs as well as biotechnological approaches such as gene editing. Genotypes which do not need support system for maximal yield would be a game changer in yam agronomy and benefit the yam industry as well as the small household farmers.The project will in parallel offer considerable opportunities for knowledge transfer and training student and researchers in several advanced molecular technologies and bioinformatics. Jams är en viktig jordbruksväxt i västra Afrika, framför allt i Nigeria. Efterfrågan är hög och jams är den mest värdefulla grödan i västra Afrika. Vi vill studera hur jamsens växtsätt regleras på molekylär nivå. Målet är att ta reda på vilka gener som styr växtsättet, för att sedan använda den kunskapen för att ta fram kortväxande sorter som är lättare att odla.Jamsodling är arbetskrävande eftersom växten behöver klättra på ett stöd. Därför blir det svårt att använda mekaniska redskap i odlingen. Att ta fram korta sorter som kan växa utan stöd har varit en förutsättning för att man ska kunna odla bland annat ärtor, bönor och tomater på ett effektivt sätt.För att få en kortväxande jams som fortfarande bildar stora knölar är det viktigt att förstå både vad som händer i bladen och i rötterna. Hos många växtarter styrs växtsätt, blomning och bildandet av frukter och rotknölar av samma gener. Den som har odlat egen färskpotatis vet att plantan inte växer så mycket på höjden när den har börjat blomma, och att man kan skörda de första potatisarna ungefär när blommorna slår ut.Vi kommer att ta prover från blad och rötter från olika sorters jams vid olika tidpunkter. I dem ska vi mäta vilka gener som aktiveras när jamsen växer och bildar knölar, och vilka växthormoner och andra ämnen som finns vid dessa tidpunkter. Dessutom ska vi jämföra gener hos jams med gener som reglerar tillväxt i andra växter, för att på det sättet hitta vilka gener som skulle kunna vara de som styr jamsens växtsätt.När vi har identifierat ett antal lämpliga kandidater kommer vi att klona dem och använda olika genetiska tekniker för att bekräfta deras roll. Därefter kommer de att kunna användas som markörer av de växtförädlare som arbetar med jams. Det kommer att göra det enklare för dem att korsa fram kortväxande sorter. Våra resultat kommer också att kunna användas av forskare som vill använda genteknik för att ta fram mer kompakta jamsplantor.

Over 95% of this production lies in Nigeria, Benin, Togo, Ghana, and Côte d´Ivoire. Therefore, yam has a high potential to mitigate at least three of the 17 sustainable development goals: ”No Poverty”, “Zero Hunger” and “Good Health and Well-being”.Yam is a climbing vine with an indeterminate growth habit that, for optimal yield, needs to grow on a support, usually in the form of stakes making cost effective mechanization difficult. Developing yam varieties that yield well without growth support is a prioritized goal among yam breeders. Since such varieties are not available, we propose to study molecular factors controlling plant architecture using metabolomics and transcriptomics to identify key genes and signaling mechanisms regulating growth habit. Such results will be crucial to design molecular markers to be used in yam breeding programs as well as biotechnological approaches such as gene editing. Genotypes which do not need support system for maximal yield would be a game changer in yam agronomy and benefit the yam industry as well as the small household farmers.The project will in parallel offer considerable opportunities for knowledge transfer and training student and researchers in several advanced molecular technologies and bioinformatics. Jams är en viktig jordbruksväxt i västra Afrika, framför allt i Nigeria. Efterfrågan är hög och jams är den mest värdefulla grödan i västra Afrika. Vi vill studera hur jamsens växtsätt regleras på molekylär nivå. Målet är att ta reda på vilka gener som styr växtsättet, för att sedan använda den kunskapen för att ta fram kortväxande sorter som är lättare att odla.Jamsodling är arbetskrävande eftersom växten behöver klättra på ett stöd. Därför blir det svårt att använda mekaniska redskap i odlingen. Att ta fram korta sorter som kan växa utan stöd har varit en förutsättning för att man ska kunna odla bland annat ärtor, bönor och tomater på ett effektivt sätt.För att få en kortväxande jams som fortfarande bildar stora knölar är det viktigt att förstå både vad som händer i bladen och i rötterna. Hos många växtarter styrs växtsätt, blomning och bildandet av frukter och rotknölar av samma gener. Den som har odlat egen färskpotatis vet att plantan inte växer så mycket på höjden när den har börjat blomma, och att man kan skörda de första potatisarna ungefär när blommorna slår ut.Vi kommer att ta prover från blad och rötter från olika sorters jams vid olika tidpunkter. I dem ska vi mäta vilka gener som aktiveras när jamsen växer och bildar knölar, och vilka växthormoner och andra ämnen som finns vid dessa tidpunkter. Dessutom ska vi jämföra gener hos jams med gener som reglerar tillväxt i andra växter, för att på det sättet hitta vilka gener som skulle kunna vara de som styr jamsens växtsätt.När vi har identifierat ett antal lämpliga kandidater kommer vi att klona dem och använda olika genetiska tekniker för att bekräfta deras roll. Därefter kommer de att kunna användas som markörer av de växtförädlare som arbetar med jams. Det kommer att göra det enklare för dem att korsa fram kortväxande sorter. Våra resultat kommer också att kunna användas av forskare som vill använda genteknik för att ta fram mer kompakta jamsplantor.

The longevity of anti-malarial immunity in populations experiencing malaria control and successful elimination is largely unexplored. In Vanuatu, scaled-up interventions have resulted in sustained elimination on some islands for varying periods and focal transmission of different intensities on other islands. This gradient in malaria risk and exposure provides a model to study the maintenance of immune memory in a natural setting. In collaboration with Divine Word University and the Ministry of Health in Vanuatu, we will establish the Center for Malaria Elimination to conduct research that helps to assess the risk of malaria resurgence on islands where populations may have waning immunity. Through this partnership we will conduct community outreach, develop field protocols for sample collection and transport, and perform initial sample analyses. We anticipate the collaboration to expand future research to address pressing issues such as low-density infections and Plasmodium vivax hypnozoite reservoir that are relevant to not only Vanuatu, but also neighboring Solomon Islands and Papua New Guinea. I malariaendemiska områden leder upprepade infektioner med malariaparasiter till att en naturlig immunitet som skyddar mot svår sjukdom utvecklas. Vad vi inte känner till är hur länge och hur bra denna immunitet kvarstår när exponeringen mot malaria minskar efter framgångsrika kontrollåtgärder. Om malaria återintroduceras, och det immunologiska minnet har försvunnit hos befolkningen, ökar risken för utbrott och allvarlig sjukdom markant.I södra Stillahavsregionen är malaria endemiskt i Papa Nya Guinea, Solomon öarna och Vanuatu. Sedan 2015 har malariaelimineringen avstannat i Vanuatu och viss ökning av malaria har setts på Papa Nya Guinea och Salomon öarna. I öriket Vanuatu har olika kontrollåtgärder framgångsrikt hållit malaria borta från vissa öar under flera års tid, men på andra öar finns fortfarande många platser med pågående smittspridning. När människors rörlighet mellan öarna ökar, ökar risken för att återintroducera malaria på öar som idag anses malariafria. För att undersöka risken för att malaria ska komma tillbaka, ämnar vi bygga upp ett samarbete med Divine Word University och Vanuatus hälsoministerium där vi ska undersöka hur immunologiskt minne upprätthålls och bevaras beroende på olika grader av malariaincidens. I detta samarbete kommer vi att etablera ett Center för malariaeliminering, samordna forskningsaktiviteter vilket inkluderar ett engagemang i samhällena, provtagning och analyser.

The separated fresh urine is stabilised in a low-tech reactor where it is passively dosed with novel alkaline earth chemical pellets. This allows stabilised urine to be transported from households with zero nutrient loss for further treatment in a centralised dryer that produces high-quality solid fertilisers. The focus of the planned research is to develop pellets for the reactor that capture all the nutrients in urine (especially nitrogen), while removing organics pollutants and malodour-causing substances from urine. The bulk of the pellet is made of low-cost chemical stabilisers which are globally available. The pellets will be evaluated against real-life aspects and natural contaminants before they are field-tested in a household-scale reactor. The piloting will be done in an urban area in Bolivia where urine diverting systems with central collection of urine and faeces exists. Tillgång till säkert vatten och avlopp är en mänsklig rättighet som har ett eget mål inom de globala uthållighetsmålen som FN har satt upp inom ramarna för agenda 2030. Målet är bland annat att vi skall halvera mängden obehandlat avloppsvatten som vi släpper ut i miljön. Idag släpps nästan 80% av allt avloppsvatten ut obehandlat i våra vattendrag. I detta projekt samlas urinen in separat. Urinen innehåller ca 80% av all växtnäring som finns i vårt avlopp medan den är mindre än 1% av volymen. Genom att samla urinen och avdunsta vattnet får vi en koncentrerad gödselresurs i stället för en miljöförorening. För att kunna koncentrera urinen måste den biokemiska aktiviteten i urinen stoppas så att urean (värdens vanligaste gödselmedel) som är den huvudsakliga kvävesubstansen, inte bryts ned innan vattnet avdunstas. Projektet första del handlar om att utveckla självdoserande kemikalier för urinstabilisering, baserat på ämnenas löslighet i vatten/urin, där en dos i månaden doseras ut i de 300L urin som förväntas samlas in under månaden. Genom att variera produktionstemperaturen och tiden kan man producera magnesium- och kalciumhydroxider och -oxider med olika löslighet och därmed olika reaktioner och pH i urinen. Den andra delen är att undersöka effekten av de utvecklade oxiderna och hydroxiderna när urinen är kontaminerade av fekalier, menstruationsblod och rengöringsmedel samt hur behandlingen kan optimeras för att minimera lukten från den torkade urinen. När rätt sammansättning för effektiv behandling har hittats kommer systemet att testas först i lab och sedan i full skala på ett urinsorterande system i Monteiro i Bolivia där urinen infiltreras i marken idag. Där kommer urinen stabiliseras innan den samlas in för att sedan kunna torkas i ett torksystem som utvecklats i andra projekt. Resultatet blir ett passivt reaktorsystem som stabiliserar urin för central produktion av ett urinbaserat gödselmedel.

Climate change exacerbates this problem by creating severe weather events, making it harder to predict and mitigate against plant pathogens. Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) faces a greater challenge due to both small-scale agriculture and limited economy to sustain yield losses due to pathogens. Field pea is a highly important legume crop, a great source of protein for millions in SSA who cannot afford animal proteins. The crop also plays a significant role as livestock feed, improves soil fertility in cereal-based cropping systems in the region and beyond. This project aims to generate knowledge, which will enhance our abilities to select and develop resistant field pea cultivars against Ascochyta blight. Using novel and cutting-edge technologies, this project will contribute to a deeper understanding of disease resistance mechanisms and genes involved, as well as promoting phenotypic-genotype association studies among the scientific community. In this project, we will identify field pea germplasm with resistance to Ascochyta blight, which will enable the development of high yielding nutrient-rich field pea cultivars, thereby improving food/nutritional security in Ethiopia, East Africa. Thus, the project addresses important societal issues of relevance to UN SDG’s mission, supporting need-driven research in agriculture. Att upprätta en global hållbar och säker tillgång på livsmedel är en enorm utmaning i en framtid kantad av klimatförändringar och befolkningsökningar. Proteingrödan ärta är med sitt höga proteininnehåll och viktiga fiber, vitaminer och mineraler, en betydande näringskälla för över 900 miljoner människor i Subsahariska Afrika. I utvecklingsländer såsom Etiopien är växtproteinprodukter från ärta en vanlig ersättning för animaliebaserade livsmedel. Produktionen av ärta är dock påverkad av olika abiotiska och biotiska faktorer som innebär en osäker livsmedelsförsörjning.Ascochyta blight är en svampsjukdom som angriper ärta i odlingsområden över hela världen och kan leda till 75% minskad avkastning, vilket är en stor förlust eftersom ärta är en viktig inhemsk proteinkälla såväl som exportvara. Att kontrollera sjukdomen med pesticider är inte ett alternativ för småskaliga lantbrukare då det kan öka odlingskostnaden med upp till 40%, dessutom är det varken effektivt eller miljövänligt. Ett mer effektivt och miljövänligt sätt är däremot att utveckla sorter som är resistenta mot sjukdomen. Etiopien är ett center för genetisk diversitet för ärta med mer än 2000 olika accessioner i sin genbank. För att utveckla mer produktiva ärtsorter är identifiering av resistenta källor mot ascochyta blight nödvändig såväl som forskning på patogenens virulens och något som underlättas med genbanksaccessionernas genetiska variation.Detta föreslagna projekts syfte är att generera kunskap som ökar vår förmåga att identifiera resistenskällor och utveckla resistenta ärtsorter. Genom att tillämpa bioteknologiska och statistiska metoder kommer vi att identifiera genetiska markörer som är kopplade till resistens såväl som resistensgener och därigenom öka vår förståelse för resistensens molekylära mekanismer.

This crop serves as the primary energy source, protein, vitamins, and trace minerals for millions of people in this country. Unfortunately, sorghum production is mainly constrained by several biotic and abiotic stresses, particularly from occasional drought and heat stress. A high-yield hybrid with improved drought resilience is urgently needed to improve productivity and maintain stable profit margins among small-scale farmers. However, hybrid sorghum has not been widely adopted in Sudan, mainly due to poor adaptation and the lack of farmer-preferred traits in existing hybrids. Feterita is a unique breeding pool for sorghum improvement that only existed in Sudan. Over 40 million resource-poor people in marginal environments rely on cultivating this breeding pool for traditional food and drink. Hence, this project aims to identify complementary parental pools (B and A lines) using feterita germplasm to overcome the limitations of the introduced A/B lines and develop the first hybrid through a) Developing and validating KASP markers with fertility restorer genes; b) Marker-assisted backcrossing to develop and validate A1 and A2 elite cytoplasmic male sterility; c) Estimation of genetic diversity and population structure of early-maturing sorghum feterita; d) Exploring heterosis in feterita lines for increased productivity in contrasting environments; and e) Enhance the capacity of Sudan´s institutions. Livsmedelssystem i Sudan präglas av osäkerhet både i termer av tillgänglighet, användning och hållbarhet hos livsmedlen, och behovet av lösningar är stort både på kort, medellång och lång sikt. Runt 9.8 miljoner människor (ca 21% av befolkningen) i Sudan upplever starkt bristande livsmedelssäkerhet med svårigheter att få tag i mat för dagen, och därmed finns det stora behov av att utveckla livsmedelsproduktionen. Jordbrukssystemen och tillgängligheten av grödor som kan producera mat för de fattiga i de torra landsbygdssamhällena behöver utvecklas snarast. Sorghum är en gröda som är väl adapterad till Afrika och som ger bra avkastning även under relativt torra förhållanden. I Sudan är sorghum den största grödan i förhållande till avkastning och odlad yta. Under 1970-talet påbörjades ett hybridförädlingsprogram i Sudan för att utveckla hybridsorghum lämpligt för odling i Sudan. Hybriderna som producerades gav högre avkastning än den sorghum som traditionellt odlades i Sudan. Hybridsorterna har dock aldrig använts i någon högre grad av de fattiga lantbrukarna i Sudan. Hybridsorterna utvecklades för att prestera i mekaniserade och bevattnade jordbrukssystem med hög insats. De lämpade sig alltså inte för de jordbrukssystem som praktiseras hos sudanesiska självförsörjande bönder och deras förhållandevis korta strån och små frön gjorde dem inte heller lämpade för produktion av växtbiomassa och livsmedel. Istället har s.k. feterita-sorter och lantraser använts i stor utsträckning av sudanesiska fattiga och självförsörjande bönder för sin goda torktolerans, höga näringsvärden, skördeförmåga och anpassning till låga insatsförhållanden. Detta projekt syftar till att använda konventionell och avancerad teknologi för att utveckla hybridförädling som bygger på användandet av de outnyttjade sorghum feterita genotyperna. Det genetiska materialet och kunskapen som etableras kommer att tillgängliggöras för hybridförädling i Sudan och Afrika för att övervinna framtida utmaningar.

Alternativt privilegierade biogeografi, ha agerat som en smältdegel för genetisk korsning av olika arter.Detta projekt ämnar kontrastera båda dessa hypoteser genom att utforska genetisk och ekologisk mångfald i de ikoniska och näringsrika tanzaniska avokado. Detta projekt kommer särskilt att övervaka 900 odlade avokadoträd samt fröplantor under fyra år. Hetfläckar av agrikulturell biologisk mångfald såsom dessa erbjuder inte enbart ett exempellöst långsiktigt evolutionärt experiment för att ta itu med djupa frågor inom evolution och ekologi. De är även en unik källa till nya variationer och anpassningar som kan vara användbara för att tillgodose den framtida globala efterfrågan på mat samt uppväga hotet som uppvärmningen av klimatet utgör mot framställningen av grödor. Gömda i avskilda kullar och dalar med unika klimat fulla av kontraster medför i synnerhet den extraordinära naturliga mångfalden av grödor och deras besläktade vilda arter i Afrika en värdefull resurs för att stävja klimatförändringarna och försäkra den globala livsmedelsförsörjningen. Med andra ord tillför mångfalden av dessa arter en expanderad genpol vilken mänskligheten kan förlita sig på under de kommande åren.

The present project aims to develop: 1) locally adapted good quality and high yielding beans, and 2) novel processing technologies of beans, to sustain food security and enhance nutrients and micronutrients in food in Uganda. The project is focusing on the use of the most recent marker-assisted selection methods (e.g. GBS and GWAS) in combination with modern innovative processing methods (e.g. ultrasonication) to: i) improve drought tolerance in beans, ii) improve nutritional composition of proteins and microelements, and organoleptic properties (taste) of bean food, iii) develop the innovation agro-platforms for delivering nutritious high quality food in a varying climate. This project will contribute with the most novel and high impact methods so far available to improve food security and nutrition, and will help secure food products, highly appreciated by the African consumer. The innovative agro-platforms will sustain development of promising drought tolerant protein-rich bean types suited for local farms in Uganda. In the long-term, this project will contribute food security and health benefits to the African population across the continent. Bönor är ett baslivsmedel i Uganda och bidrar i den dagliga kosten med proteiner, fibrer, vitaminer och mikronäringsämnen som järn och zink. Odlare i Uganda är benägna att testa nya sorter av bönor och hoppas alltid att dessa ska ge bättre avkastning och smaka bra. Covid-19, i kombination med extrem torka under senare år har emellertid resulterat i minskad avkastning och lägre kvalitet hos bönorna, vilket har lett till osäkerhet i produktionen och till och med till undernäring i vissa folkgrupper.Genom växtförädling, där de senaste genomiska metoderna används, så skulle den traditionella Ugandiska (Afrikanska) bönan kunna utvecklas till att bli en ”superväxt” som tål framtidens klimat, samtidigt som den har förmåga att producera högnutritionella bönor av tillräcklig mängd. Ett sådant scenario skulle då bidra till ett ökat välmående hos de Ugandiska konsumenterna. Vidare, så behöver nya processmetoder för bönor utvecklas, som ökar tillgängligheten vid humankosnumption av aminosyror från proteinerna och mikronäringsämnen som finns i bönorna. Ultrasonikering är en icke-invasiv metod som både bidrar till att tillgängliggöra nutritionella komponenter vid humankonsumption och som också ökar smakligheten hos livsmedel eftersom den påverkar gel- och texturegenskaperna på ett positivt sätt. Här föreslår vi ett projekt som ska bidra med både nya växtförädlingstekniker för utvekling av en ”superböna” som kan producera högnutritionella bönor och tåler framtidens klimat i Uganda, och nya processmetoder för att, vid humankonsumption, tillgängliggöra de nutritionella komponenterna som finns i superbönan.Vi kommer även att utveckla en ny approach inom projektet, genom att använda oss av agro-plattformar för att säkerställa lokal distribution och produktion av superbönan. Dessa kommer att säkerställa att superbönan, inklusive dess lämpliga processmetoder kommer att bidra till minskad undernäring och ökad livemedelssäkerhet i Uganda, och i ett längre perspektiv till Afrika.

It aims to explore the content of gendered traditional ecological knowledge (TEK) around wetlands and also identify forms, pathways and processes through which this gendered TEK can be utilized for policy and action towards restoration, conservation and management of wetlands. The research is important because local communities in several low income countries depend on and live in close association with wetlands and consequently possess rich relevant TEK. The Ramsar Convention on Wetlands recognizes the importance of TEK in wetland protection, but there remains a wide gap between policy and practice, these remaining undocumented and unutilized. Wetlands are an important NBS that support water sustainability through multiple pathways and given a worsening context of degraded and disappearing wetlands, and water quality and quantity-related challenges in global South, water-related sustainability becomes the key to poverty reduction and sustainable development. The research will be carried out through a comparative case study analysis based in India where 3 case studies located in diverse geo-climatic and hydro-ecological settings will be explored through an empirical multi-disciplinary methodology combining ethnographic community-based research with participatory GIS and other tools. Finally, findings will be validated in neighboring low-income country Bangladesh through stakeholder workshops. Projektet handlar om användningen av våtmarker som naturbaserade lösningar (nature-based solutions, NBS) i global syd. Syftet är att utforska genusbaserad traditionell ekologisk kunskap (TEK) om våtmarker som möjliggör NBS för vattenrelaterad hållbar utveckling i låginkomstländer. NBS är inspirerade och stöds av naturen och använder eller efterliknar naturliga processer för förbättrad hantering av vatten. De erbjuder samtidigt miljömässiga, sociala och ekonomiska fördelar. För vatten har de även potential att möta flera utmaningar såsom vattenmängd och vattenkvalitet samt andra risker. Dessutom förväntas NBS hjälpa till med att hantera klimatförändringens effekter och förlust av biologisk mångfald, samtidigt som de stöder flera hållbara utvecklingsmål. NBS stöds ofta av miljökunskap och lokal TEK i närliggande samhällen, TEK är fortfarande tyvärr lite utforskad. Ännu mindre kända är genusaspekter i dessa kunskapssystem. Våtmarker är viktiga NBS som på många sätt stöder hållbarhet av vattenanvändning. Med tanke på utmaningar med försämrad vattenkvalitet och kvantitet i det global syd blir vattenrelaterad hållbarhet nyckeln till fattigdomsminskning och hållbar utveckling. Ramsarkonventionen om våtmarker erkänner betydelsen av TEK för bevarandet av våtmarker, men det finns fortfarande ett stort gap mellan policy och praxis. Lokala samhällen i flera låginkomstländer som Bangladesh i södra Asien samt Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia och andra länder i Afrika har levt i nära anslutning till våtmarker i generationer och har följaktligen en rik och relevant TEK, trots det förblir kunskapen odokumenterad och outnyttjad. Syftet med det här projektet är att öka kunskapen om hur genusbaserad TEK kring våtmarker kan stödja restaurering, bevarande och hållbar förvaltning av våtmarker som NBS, för att förbättra hållbar utveckling i global syd.

Lokala samhällen i flera låginkomstländer som Bangladesh i södra Asien samt Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia och andra länder i Afrika har levt i nära anslutning till våtmarker i generationer och har följaktligen en rik och relevant TEK, trots det förblir kunskapen odokumenterad och outnyttjad. Syftet med det här projektet är att öka kunskapen om hur genusbaserad TEK kring våtmarker kan stödja restaurering, bevarande och hållbar förvaltning av våtmarker som NBS, för att förbättra hållbar utveckling i global syd.

However, despite recognition that the biocultural diversity of native ecosystems is central for ensuring equitable access to earth’s resources, these values are seldom included in species selection for reforestation. Hence, 4 out of 5 trees planted is an exotic tree that, although they grow well, partly because the genetic potential have been maximized and hence are suitable for the global carbon market, bring few benefit for rebuilding biocultural diversity. With the aim to challenge the dogma that exotics are the only option for reforestation in the tropics we will conduct a holistic screening of 34 native tree species across three sites representing large fraction of the biocultural diverse Maritime SE Asia (Timor-Leste, Borneo and West Papua). We will assess trade-offs among production and C-sequestration, cultural values, and ecological functions. We will then use our 8000 tree genetic experiment to test the hypothesis that plant genetics can modulate important functions and enhance synergies. By demonstrating the genetic and biocultural potential of native trees, the goal of this project is to foster a change in policy and in reforestation practice and hence positively impact the many millions of people depending on degraded ecosystems for their livelihood. Tropiska skogar är bland de mest artrika ekosystemen i världen och när dessa ekosystem överutnyttjas så får det stora konsekvenser för både ekosystemets funktion och för de människor som är beroende av dessa funktioner för sin överlevnad.  Sådana förändringar är fundamentala och verkar på alla aspekter av människors liv; de sträcker sig från de basala behoven att klara sin försörjning till att förlora sin biokulturella kontext.

Trots detta återbeskogas fortfarande en stor majoritet av dessa områden med exotiska trädslag som  växer bra men som bidrar mycket lite till att återskapa inhemska ekosystem. Vi förespråkar att man med hjälp av bättre kunskap om de inhemska trädarternas olika egenskaper kan förutse funktionalitet och därmed tillgodose fler funktioner utan att nödvändigtvis behöva plantera fler trädarter. I det här projektet kommer vi nyttja vår forskningsinfrastruktur i Sabah, Borneo för att undersöka multifunktionaliteten hos 34 tropiska trädarter.  Vi kommer att utvärdera potentialen hos dessa träd att förutom att tillgodose hög produktion och kolinlagring också främja biodiversitet och ekosystemtjänster samt förse människor med viktiga alternativa förtjänster som ofta går förlorade när skogar utarmas. Som en viktig del i denna utvärdering kommer vi också undersöka trädens förmåga att leverera dessa ekosystemtjänster i ett framtida torrare klimat.Det slutliga målet med detta projekt är att etablera nya protokoll för trädslagsval i restaurering där större fokus läggs på multifunktionalitet och att de restaurerade skogarna ska leverera viktiga nyttor för de ofta fattiga människor som lever i och av dessa skogar.

In the UN’s present “Decade of Restoration”, countries around the world have pledged to restore hundreds of millions of hectares of degraded forests — targeting rural areas of the global south where millions of rural and indigenous people live. While these efforts have potential to support a range of environmental priorities, it remains unclear to what extent large-scale restoration efforts are compatible with rural needs and other development objectives. Responding to growing calls for strengthening community rights and involvement, we ask: How, and under what conditions, can community forest governance lead to improvements in human well-being, carbon sequestration, and biodiversity from forest restoration? This mixed-methods project explores how national and state-level policy efforts in Nepal and India shape local influence in restoration planning, and we build a large dataset to test how different local governance conditions impact livelihoods, carbon sequestration, and biodiversity. In so doing, our work provides key advances to (a) better incorporate multi-scalar power and politics in theories of environmental governance, (b) generate new evidence of the relationship between carbon sequestration, biodiversity, and rural well-being, and (c) support policy innovations to advance toward a more just and sustainable global future. Skogsrestaurering står i fokus i den globala miljöpolitiken. 2020-talet har förklarats "Årtiondet av restaurering" av FN och länder runt om i världen har åtagit sig att återställa miljontals hektar av förstörda skogar. Skogsrestaurering kan bidra till kolbindning, bevara biologisk mångfald samt förbättra välbefinnandet för skogsberoende människor. Dock lever uppskattningsvis 300 miljoner människor, däribland ursprungsbefolkningar, i prioriterade skogslandskap i det globala syd. Insatser för att återställa skog kan komma i konflikt med annan markanvändning såsom jordbruk och betesmark och därmed underminera försörjningsstrategier, matsäkerhet och andra hållbarhetsmål. Att ge lokalsamhällen makt att påverka planering av skogsrestaurering har förespråkats för att säkerställa att restaureringsprojekten överensstämmer med lokala behov och att lokalbefolkning är investerad i den långsiktiga förvaltningen.

However, responding to the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) on gender equality – clling on states and non-state actors to recognise and value UCDW – new global partnerships between public and private actors are now being formed. As the first study of the emerging global governance of UCDW, this project follows three partnerships led by the UN, business experts and one NGO from global policy documents and sites of decision-making to Kenya where all partnerships are active. Through a critical policy analysis and ethnographic fieldwork, the aim is to identify and compare the different ways in which UCDW is governed and assess the reshaping of gendered power relations. Building on social reproduction theory, it develops a framework to analyse a) guiding policy frames i.e. economic growth or gender justice, b) strategies to mitigate, replenish or transform UCDW, and c) effects on the responsibility for and provision of care among public and private actors, civil society and households. With a specific focus on the experiences of vulnerable groups, the ones most affected by the lack of care infrastructure, the study wishes to strengthen development partners’ awareness of the complexities of UCDW as they aim to alter it in alignment with the SDGs. Obetalt hushålls- och omsorgsarbete är omistligt för samhällens överlevnad och välbefinnande.

Trots detta har det obetalda arbetet förbisetts i jämställdhets- och utvecklingspolicy som istället fokuserat på att öka kvinnors deltagande i betalt arbete. Tillsammans med minskade investeringar i välfärd kan detta leda till en omsorgskris, då individuella och samhälleliga resurser urholkas. Nu finns dock tecken på en ökad insikt om det obetalda arbetets betydelse.

The purpose of the project is to advance knowledge on the relationships between energy transition and energy access in the context of Nepal. Energy transition in Nepal runs along two parallel processes: a transition from low-access to high access to modern energy for meeting the demands of the population, and a transition from fossil-fuel based energy to renewable energy. However, little has been known about how these two processes relate to each other.By defining access as the ability to derive benefits from energy sources, we aim to identify the differentiated patterns of means, relations, and processes that enable/disable small businesses and households’ opportunities to have access, alleviate poverty and derive benefits from energy transition.Our core research questions are: How and to what extent is energy access achieved in the transition from fossil-fuel based energy to renewable energy? How is energy proverty and energy transition related? By providing qualitative and quantitative evaluation of the ramifications of energy access (SDG 7) for other areas of sustainable development, this study contributes to the need to harmonize global agreement of Sustainable Development Goals with local realities on the ground. Nepal är ett av världens minst utvecklade länder med en av de lägsta nivåerna av energiförbrukning per capita. Landet saknar även större tillgångar av kol, naturgas eller olja. Den kraftiga jordbävningen i april 2015 förvärrade tillgången till energi då cirka 30% av el-infrastrukturen skadades. Inbördeskriget mellan det maoistiska upproret och Nepals regering ledde till politisk instabilitet som drabbade de statligt ägda sektorerna, inklusive energisektorn, och ledde till ett fragmenterat ledarskap, förändrade prioriteringar och politisk diskontinuitet. Under fredsprocessen efter konflikten startade regeringen ett antal reformer. Detta projekt syftar till att analysera den Nepalesiska energiomställningen och problematiserar om den kommer att öka energitillgången för utsatta grupper eller inte.Övergången mot en koldioxidsnål ekonomi genom energiomställning är ett av kärnelementen i åtgärderna för att motverka klimatförändringarna.  Som en av de länder som för närvarande har lägst växthusgasutsläpp står Nepal inför stora utmaningar i att hantera klimatförändringarna och samtidigt säkra tillgången till energi. Klimatförändringarna kan å ena sidan resultera i att energitillgången hotas eftersom man uppskattar att särskilt landsbygdssamhällen som bor i bergen kan förlora tillgången till sina energikällor för matlagning. Å andra sidan ses utveckling av förnybar energi som en lösning för att övervinna den sårbarhet som skapas av klimatförändringar. Detta projekt kommer att belysa dessa parallella processer och spänningar vid skärningspunkten mellan energi och klimatförändringar.  Genom att tillhandahålla kvalitativa och kvantitativa nationstäckande data om förändrade mönster i energitillgång bidrar denna studie till behovet av att harmonisera det globala avtalet om hållbara utvecklingsmål med lokala realiteter på marken, särskilt gällande SDG 7 (tillgång till ren energi) i förhållande till SDG 10 (minskade ojämlikheter), SDG 11 (hållbara samhällen).

Å andra sidan ses utveckling av förnybar energi som en lösning för att övervinna den sårbarhet som skapas av klimatförändringar. Detta projekt kommer att belysa dessa parallella processer och spänningar vid skärningspunkten mellan energi och klimatförändringar.  Genom att tillhandahålla kvalitativa och kvantitativa nationstäckande data om förändrade mönster i energitillgång bidrar denna studie till behovet av att harmonisera det globala avtalet om hållbara utvecklingsmål med lokala realiteter på marken, särskilt gällande SDG 7 (tillgång till ren energi) i förhållande till SDG 10 (minskade ojämlikheter), SDG 11 (hållbara samhällen).

Including the following dimensions:Monthly peer-support group workshopsIndividual goal-directed sessionsFamily support daysCommunity workshopsSignificance: This study will provide information on long-term impact of development for children that had complications around the time of birth and received basic interventions for newborn survival. Furthermore this study will evaluate an intervention model for children with DDD to increase child participation and caregiver quality of life. Results will inform the need for habilitation services and contribute to intervention program development, and may be transferable across Nepal and to other low-income settings. De senaste decennierna har det satsats mycket på nyföddhetsvård i låginkomstländer, vilket har lett till minskad dödlighet. Men hur barnens utveckling ser ut efter att de överlevt är oklart, trots att detta är viktig information för att kunna planera för sjukvårds och habiliteringsinsatser. I många låginkomstländer så saknas det stöd och habilitering för barn med funktionsnedsättningar, vilket leder till sämre utveckling och delaktighet för barnen samt reducerad livskvalitet för deras föräldrar. För att kunna inkludera barnen i vårdplanering så behövs det både information om hur många de är, samt vilka interventioner som skulle kunna vara till nytta för dem. Vi planerar därför att utföra ett forskningsprojekt i Nepal där vi kommer följa upp två grupper av barn, en grupp (381 barn) födda med komplikationer runt födseln som lett till att de behövt vårdinsatser (återupplivningsassistans, känguruvård, antibiotikabehandling) samt en grupp som inte behövt några insatser runt födseln (381 barn). Barnens funktionella utveckling i motorik, språk, beteende samt kognition kommer att undersökas med instrument speciellt utvecklade för låginkomstländer. Vi kommer sen utföra specialistbedömningar för de barn som har utvecklingsförseningar för att beräkna hur många som har olika funktionsnedsättningar i varje grupp. De barn som vi identifierar med funktionsförseningar och nedsättningar kommer att erbjudas deltagande i en studie, med en kontrollgrupp (vård som vanligt) samt en interventionsgrupp. Den familjecentrerade intervention kommer att utvecklas av ett team i Nepal samt ett internationellt team av experter, och kommer innehålla: i) workshops för föräldrar av föräldrar ii) individuell mål-inriktad träning ii) familjestödsdagar iv) workshops för de lokala samhällena.

Risk är ett snarlikt koncept, men när man jobbar med risker så utgår man från ’sannolikheter’ och ’handlingsplaner’. Termen osäkerhet beskriver istället ett spektrum av den diffusa oklarhet, ovisshet och okunnighet som många familjer upplever, och som kan vara både hot eller möjligt. Utmaningen är att förstå hur hushåll navigerar genom olika sorts osäkerheter. Vad det är som gör det möjligt för några att återhämta sig från kriser, medans andra att blir allt fattigare? Det här är ett forskningsfält där det saknas forskning och bra forskningsmetoder. Vårt nätverk syftar till att generera sådan forskning och metoder runt lokal resilience, samt att främja en debatt om politiska strategier för att hantera osäkerhet för de fattigaste.

Utmaningen är att förstå hur hushåll navigerar genom olika sorts osäkerheter. Vad det är som gör det möjligt för några att återhämta sig från kriser, medans andra att blir allt fattigare? Det här är ett forskningsfält där det saknas forskning och bra forskningsmetoder. Vårt nätverk syftar till att generera sådan forskning och metoder runt lokal resilience, samt att främja en debatt om politiska strategier för att hantera osäkerhet för de fattigaste. Sådana nya förståelser är också viktiga för att börja tänka nytt om hur vi ska leva med osäkerhet och klimatförändringar i framtiden.Vi kommer att fokusera på hur klimatförändring och förvaltning av mark och skog. Partnerländerna Bhutan, Indien och Nepal erbjuder olika insikter om både källorna till sådan osäkerhet och osäkerhetens beskaffenhet.Samarbetet är utformat för att främja debatt, gemensamt lärande och utveckling av nya metoder för förståelse av osäkerhet och dess källor i olika bergslandskap och deras sammanhang. Den främsta aktiviteten kommer att vara fysiska möten i varje land. Där kommer vi först att göra gemensamma fältbesök där vi åker ut i bergsbyar och pratar med dom som bor där. Efter det kommer vi ha workshops där vi analyserar dessa studier. Vi kommer också ordna seminarier med lokala aktörer och aktiviteter med beslutsfattare. Vi planerar att skriva gemensamma vetenskapliga artiklar och forskningsprojekt och kommer att anordna digitala skrivseminarier i perioderna mellan våra möten.

Cacao is perceived as a male crop and women are often marginalized from access to livelihood assets, such as financial resources, necessary for climate resilience. In the contexts of Ivory Coast, Ghana, and Liberia, we will assess whether improvements in gender equality conditions support the capacity of cacao farming-dependent households to cope with extreme drought. Our scientific contributions include the generation of robust empirical evidence of gender equality-climate resilience effects, and on the conceptual development of ´Socio-ecological Livelihoods´ as an analytical framework. Results will be derived from quantitative and qualitative analyses of multi-year household survey and in-depth interview data, and interpreted through a stakeholder participatory process. Implications will have direct relevance in the design of gender-based development interventions that aim to advance climate resiliency, taking into consideration complex interactions among livelihood assets and the natural environment. We target dissemination of findings to local communities, practitioners, scholars, and national and international policy makers. It aims to raise awareness and create a pathway for positive change to benefit cacao-dependent households around the world. Vårt projekt är av yttersta relevans för låginkomsthushåll på landsbygden som är bland de minst beredda att hantera klimatförändringarna. Kakaoodling stöder försörjningen för över två miljoner hushåll i Västafrika. I Liberia, Ghana och Elfenbenskusten uppfattas kakao som en "manlig" gröda. Kvinnor är ofta marginaliserade från jordbrukets beslutsfattande och inkomster.Klimatförändringarna är en växande utmaning för kakaoodlingen. Torka påverkar avkastning och inkomstkällor. Kapaciteten att hantera torka begränsas av tillgången till resurser som sträcker sig från finansiella till fysiska tillgångar. Att klara torka och begränsade resurser är ännu värre bland kvinnor.Vi kommer att bedöma könets roll i förhållande till klimattålighet hos kakaoodlingberoende hushåll. I vårt team ingår natur- och samhällsvetare med stor kunskap inom kvantitativa och kvalitativa analyser i Västafrika. Vi kommer att införliva en Ph.D. student till vårt forskarteam.

Vi strävar efter att bidra till kvinnors och flickors ekonomiska rättigheter och egenmakt genom att kvantifiera nuvarande ojämlikhet mellan könen och komplexa interaktioner med andra försörjningsvillkor inklusive finansiella tillgångar.

Det föreslagna nätverket avser att undersöka effekten av klimatförändringar och den blå ekonomin som samexisterande drivkrafter för den lokala befolkningen i olika kustområden i Syd- och Östafrika (Kenya, Tanzania och Mozambique).  Vi avser att kartlägga hur nya policies har påverkat lokala inkomstmöjligheter, hur dessa har förståtts och vilken framtid som stakas ut för befolkningen i kustområdena. Vi undersöker den spänning som finns mellan å ena sidan exploateringen av marina resurser i den blå ekonomin och den pågående eroderingen av dessa resurser som ett resultat av klimatförändringarna. I den blå ekonomin betonas t ex exploatering av olja och gasfyndigheter på havsbotten medan klimatkrisen kräver en utfasning av fossila bränslen. Klimatförändringarna innebär bl a försurning, syrebrist och ökande vattentemperaturer med negativa effekter för fisk och andra marina djur. Den resurs som skall exploateras håller på att försvinna.Hur hanteras dessa motstridiga drivkrafter på policy- och implementeringsnivå? Vilka effekter får det för kustbefolkningars möjligheter för överlevnad? Hur hanterar människorna som har sin inkomst i marina resurser detta?Vi är en grupp forskare som har varit aktiva i den Västra Indiska Oceanen i många år, vi är alla  experter i olika områden som har med hav och kust att göra. Vi har kunskap om ekologiska processer i olika marina ekosystem till de sociala processer som formar hanteringen av naturresurser. Vi kommer att samarbeta i en icke hierarkisk form med lärande, samarbete, och deltagande i första hand.Vi förväntar oss att nätverket föreslår nya relevanta och spännande forskningsprojekt för havets och kusternas hållbarhet, och att vår kunskap bidrar till att förverkliga viktiga hållbarhetsmål. Nätverket och forskningsprojektet fokuserar på följande mål, 1 ingen fattigdom   2 ingen hunger, 5 jämställdhet, 13 bekämpa klimatförändringarna, 14 hav och marina resurser, och16 robusta och rättvisa institutioner.

More than 60% of the agricultural area in SSA is prone to frequent drought. Changes in climate conditions are increasing drought severity making future predictions alarming. Sorghum is a climate-resilient crop preferred by smallholder farmers, particularly during dry seasons, but drought continues causing significant yield nutritional quality losses and threatening food security. Hence, there is an urgent need to improve the drought tolerance of sorghum and enhance the tolerance of the crop in a sustainable way. This project focuses on contributing to the UN development goals, improving food security and reducing poverty, using cutting-edge plant breeding tools and plant-derived biostimulants to enhance drought tolerance in sorghum. It also incorporates climate-smart practices to boost sorghum production during the dry season. This project aims to apply the ‘Breeding-Biostimulant’ approach to enable sorghum to cope with severe drought stress and sustainably improve production, by 1) understanding drought tolerance; 2) genetic association studies; 3) developing and validating markers 4) introducing new drought resistance genes; 4) Circular bio-economy based Climate-smart practices. Jordbruket är stöttepelaren i ekonomin i Afrika söder om Sahara (SSA). Särskilt i Uganda och Zambia, bidrar jordbruket avsevärt till bruttonationalprodukten (BNP) och skapar arbetsmöjligheter för 3/4 av befolkningen. Men det är en skör stöttepelare, eftersom jordbruket i dessa regioner nästan uteslutande består av småbruk som är helt beroende av regnmängden och som ständigt löper en hög risk för vattenbrist. Mer än 60% av jordbruksmarken i SSA är känslig för frekventa och svåra torr-perioder som resulterar i fullständig missväxt. På grund av dessa långtgående konsekvenser för småbrukarnas socioekonomiska villkor är torka synonymt med svält. Därför är det högsta prioritet för lokala och internationella forskningsorganisationer att förbättra torktoleransen för stora grödor, som sorghum.I detta projekt kommer vi att tillämpa det innovativa tillvägagångssättet "Avel-Biostimulant", som främjar ett effektivt utnyttjande av de genetiska resurserna och den cirkulära bioekonomin. Med denna metod ämnar vi att identifiera sorghums torktålighet och öka kunskapen om den genetiska bakgrunden för denna tolerans. Vi kommer att utveckla molekylära markörer och överföra toleransegenskaperna till sorter som brukas av bönderna i Uganda och Zambia. Dessutom kommer vi att använda växtbaserade, miljövänliga biostimulanter och införliva klimatsmarta metoder för att förbättra sorghumens agronomiska prestanda och torktolerans.Detta projekt är ett nära samarbete mellan Sveriges Lantbruksuniversitet (SLU), Makerere University Regional Center for Crop Improvement (MaRCCI), National Agricultural Research Organisation (NARO) i Uganda, jordbruksministeriet i Zambia och University of Cornell- Innovation Lab for Crop Improvement (ILCI).

More than 60% of the agricultural area in SSA is prone to frequent drought. Changes in climate conditions are increasing drought severity making future predictions alarming. Sorghum is a climate-resilient crop preferred by smallholder farmers, particularly during dry seasons, but drought continues causing significant yield nutritional quality losses and threatening food security. Hence, there is an urgent need to improve the drought tolerance of sorghum and enhance the tolerance of the crop in a sustainable way. This project focuses on contributing to the UN development goals, improving food security and reducing poverty, using cutting-edge plant breeding tools and plant-derived biostimulants to enhance drought tolerance in sorghum. It also incorporates climate-smart practices to boost sorghum production during the dry season. This project aims to apply the ‘Breeding-Biostimulant’ approach to enable sorghum to cope with severe drought stress and sustainably improve production, by 1) understanding drought tolerance; 2) genetic association studies; 3) developing and validating markers 4) introducing new drought resistance genes; 4) Circular bio-economy based Climate-smart practices. Jordbruket är stöttepelaren i ekonomin i Afrika söder om Sahara (SSA). Särskilt i Uganda och Zambia, bidrar jordbruket avsevärt till bruttonationalprodukten (BNP) och skapar arbetsmöjligheter för 3/4 av befolkningen. Men det är en skör stöttepelare, eftersom jordbruket i dessa regioner nästan uteslutande består av småbruk som är helt beroende av regnmängden och som ständigt löper en hög risk för vattenbrist. Mer än 60% av jordbruksmarken i SSA är känslig för frekventa och svåra torr-perioder som resulterar i fullständig missväxt. På grund av dessa långtgående konsekvenser för småbrukarnas socioekonomiska villkor är torka synonymt med svält. Därför är det högsta prioritet för lokala och internationella forskningsorganisationer att förbättra torktoleransen för stora grödor, som sorghum.I detta projekt kommer vi att tillämpa det innovativa tillvägagångssättet "Avel-Biostimulant", som främjar ett effektivt utnyttjande av de genetiska resurserna och den cirkulära bioekonomin. Med denna metod ämnar vi att identifiera sorghums torktålighet och öka kunskapen om den genetiska bakgrunden för denna tolerans. Vi kommer att utveckla molekylära markörer och överföra toleransegenskaperna till sorter som brukas av bönderna i Uganda och Zambia.

Within this region, migration processes are often heavily mediated, but so far there has been little invesigtation of the MOUs that guide these processes. In doing so, it looks at both the different interests that go into the formation of these agreements, as well as looking at the effects that they have on processes of labor brokerage and recruitment. It does this through interviews with state, regional, and interest group actors as well as through interviews with labor brokers and recruiters. Furthermore, as all the countries examined are members of ASEAN, it also considers the role of regional actors in these processes. Even though migration is often noted as being an important contributor to economic development, labor migrants are often placed in precarious situations, leaving them vulnerable to abuse and exploitation. As MOUs are a common tool of governing labor migration in Southeast Asia, this research therefore helps develop our understanding of how these agreements are formed, and what effects they have. This research therefore has the potential to contribute to knowledge about how to build better migration systems that can support both economic development and worker safety. Detta projekt undersöker rollen som samförståndsavtal (MOUs), en typ av bilateralt arbetsavtal, i processer för rekrytering och bemanning i Indonesien, Vietnam och Malaysia. Därvid tittar projektet på både de olika intressen som ingår i bildandet av dessa avtal, samt på vilka effekter de har på processer för rekrytering och bemanning. Det görs genom intervjuer med statliga, regionala och intresseorganisationers aktörer samt genom intervjuer med rekryterare. Dessutom, eftersom alla de granskade länderna är medlemmar i ASEAN, tar den också hänsyn till regionala aktörers roll i dessa processer.Denna forskning är viktig eftersom även om migration ofta uppmärksammas som en viktig bidragande faktor till ekonomisk utveckling, försätts arbetskraftsinvandrare ofta i prekära situationer, vilket gör dem sårbara för övergrepp och exploatering. Eftersom MOU är ett vanligt verktyg för att styra arbetskraftsinvandring i Sydostasien, hjälper denna forskning därför till att utveckla vår förståelse för hur dessa avtal bildas och vilka effekter de har. Denna forskning har därför potential att bidra till kunskap om hur man bygger bättre migrationssystem som kan stödja både ekonomisk utveckling och arbetarsäkerhet.

The study built on Rwanda’s participation in the National Board of Trade Sweden’s Trade Academy Trade Policy programme (2022–2024), which indicated mutual interest in further capacity development. In 2025, a preparatory feasibility study was conducted, including limited training activities and a contextual analysis to assess institutional and operational conditions for long-term cooperation. Following changes in the Swedish Government’s aid directives, linked to the security situation in the Great Lakes region, a decision was taken to discontinue plans for bilateral cooperation with state actors in Rwanda. The feasibility study was implemented by the National Board of Trade Sweden in dialogue with the Ministry of Trade and Industry (MINICOM) and the University of Rwanda. The long-term development objective was to contribute to strengthened national capacity in Rwanda to analyse and design digital trade policy, as well as to strengthen the academic knowledge base in trade and trade law over time. Although the cooperation was discontinued at the feasibility stage, the study generated lessons learned and conceptual approaches that can be applied in future cooperation with other partner countries Förstudien syftade till att undersöka förutsättningarna för ett fördjupat bilateralt samarbete med Rwanda inom digital handel och ekonomisk analys.

The analysis identified two potential cooperation tracks: support on digital trade with the ministry and cooperation with the University of Rwanda. The latter was assessed to require stronger and more active engagement from the ministry. In 2024–2025, two visits were conducted in Kigali during which experts from the National Board of Trade Sweden delivered training in economic analysis to analysts at Rwanda’s Ministry of Trade and engaged in dialogue with the ministry and other relevant stakeholders. The activities contributed to an improved understanding of capacity development needs and institutional working methods. In parallel, lectures on trade and sustainability were delivered at the University of Rwanda, alongside initial discussions on possible future forms of cooperation. Following an amendment to Sida’s appropriation directions in April 2025, stipulating that no new agreements should be concluded directly with state actors in Rwanda, the feasibility study was concluded and plans for bilateral cooperation were put on hold. Conceptual work on capacity development in digital trade is being taken forward in dialogue with other potential partner countries. Som en del av en förstudie genomfördes en extern kontextanalys för att bedöma förutsättningarna för samarbete, främst med handelsministeriet (MINICOM). Analysen identifierade två möjliga inriktningar: samarbete inom digital handel med ministeriet samt samarbete med University of Rwanda. Den senare bedömdes förutsätta ett mer aktivt engagemang från ministeriets sida. Under 2024–2025 genomfördes två besök i Kigali där Kommerskollegiums experter höll utbildningsinsatser i ekonomisk analys för analytiker vid Rwandas handelsministerium samt förde dialoger med ministeriet och andra relevanta aktörer. Insatserna bidrog till ökad förståelse för behov av kapacitetsutveckling och för ministeriets arbetssätt. Parallellt hölls föreläsningar vid University of Rwanda om handel och hållbarhet samt inledande diskussioner om möjliga former för framtida samarbete. Efter en ändring i Sidas regleringsbrev i april 2025, som innebar att inga nya avtal skulle ingås direkt med statliga aktörer i Rwanda, avslutades förstudien och planerna på ett bilateralt samarbete sattes på paus. De konceptuella erfarenheterna från arbetet med kapacitetsutveckling inom digital handel tas vidare i dialog med andra potentiella partnerländer. No indicator available - only a description of the activity results is published SE-0-SE-39-608511-1 Sweden The feasibility study aimed to assess the conditions for deeper bilateral cooperation with Rwanda in the areas of digital trade and economic analysis. The study built on Rwanda’s participation in the National Board of Trade Sweden’s Trade Academy Trade Policy programme (2022–2024), which indicated mutual interest in further capacity development. In 2025, a preparatory feasibility study was conducted, including limited training activities and a contextual analysis to assess institutional and operational conditions for long-term cooperation. Following changes in the Swedish Government’s aid directives, linked to the security situation in the Great Lakes region, a decision was taken to discontinue plans for bilateral cooperation with state actors in Rwanda. The feasibility study was implemented by the National Board of Trade Sweden in dialogue with the Ministry of Trade and Industry (MINICOM) and the University of Rwanda. The long-term development objective was to contribute to strengthened national capacity in Rwanda to analyse and design digital trade policy, as well as to strengthen the academic knowledge base in trade and trade law over time. Although the cooperation was discontinued at the feasibility stage, the study generated lessons learned and conceptual approaches that can be applied in future cooperation with other partner countries Förstudien syftade till att undersöka förutsättningarna för ett fördjupat bilateralt samarbete med Rwanda inom digital handel och ekonomisk analys.

The support provided during 2025 represents an initial phase of a planned long-term cooperation between the National Board of Trade Sweden and the Ukrainian government. During 2025, the intervention focused on capacity building and technical assistance for Ukrainian authorities, with particular emphasis on EU legislation governing technical regulations and information procedures, as well as initial preparations for the implementation of the EU Services Directive. These regulatory frameworks are key components of the legal infrastructure required to prevent barriers to trade and enable participation in the EU Single Market. By drawing on Swedish public sector expertise and experience in the practical application of relevant EU legislation, the intervention contributes to enhanced understanding of EU rules and processes among Ukrainian authorities. The intervention constitutes an early step in broader support for Ukraine’s adaptation to the EU Single Market, thereby contributing to economic development and EU approximation. The long-term development objective is for Ukraine to achieve strengthened and sustainable institutional capacity to implement EU legislation on the free movement of goods and services and progressively integrate into the EU Single Market. The intervention contributes to this objective by building knowledge and institutional understanding of EU legislation and its practical application as part of Ukraine’s long-term EU integration process. The intervention is implemented by the National Board of Trade Sweden in cooperation with relevant Ukrainian authorities. Insatsen syftar till att stödja Ukrainas EU-integrationsprocess genom att stärka den institutionella kapaciteten att genomföra och tillämpa EU-lagstiftning kopplad till den fria rörligheten för varor och tjänster på EU:s inre marknad. Stödet ges inom ramen för ett inledande skede av ett planerat långsiktigt samarbete mellan Kommerskollegium och den ukrainska regeringen. Under 2025 har insatsen fokuserat på kapacitetsutveckling och tekniskt stöd till ansvariga myndigheter i Ukraina, med särskilt fokus på tillämpningen av EU:s regelverk för tekniska regler och informationsförfaranden samt förberedelser för genomförandet av EU:s tjänstedirektiv. Dessa regelverk utgör centrala delar av den rättsliga infrastrukturen för att förhindra handelshinder och möjliggöra deltagande i EU:s inre marknad. Genom tillgång till svensk myndighetsexpertis och erfarenhet av praktisk tillämpning av relevant EU-lagstiftning bidrar insatsen till att stärka ukrainska myndigheters förståelse för EU:s regelverk och processer. Insatsen utgör ett tidigt steg i ett bredare stöd till Ukrainas anpassning till EU:s inre marknad och därigenom till landets ekonomiska utveckling och EU-närmande. Det långsiktiga utvecklingsmålet är att Ukraina ska ha en stärkt och hållbar institutionell kapacitet att genomföra EU:s regelverk för den fria rörligheten för varor och tjänster och därigenom integreras i EU:s inre marknad.

It is implemented in the context of Moldova’s European Union integration process and addresses the need for increased alignment of the Moldovan food sector with European market requirements. Limited compliance with EU standards and insufficient market access constrain the competitiveness and resilience of Moldovan agrifood companies, particularly within the fresh fruit and vegetable sector. The project aims to strengthen the capacity of selected Moldovan agribusinesses to access and operate in the Swedish and broader EU markets. By supporting export readiness, integrating sustainability considerations, and facilitating market exposure, the project contributes to diversification of Moldova’s agrifood export portfolio and the establishment of sustainable trade relations. An integrated approach is applied, combining capacity development, market knowledge, and business-to-business engagement. Sustainability principles are embedded throughout the cooperation and adapted to the specific conditions of the fresh fruit and vegetable sector. The project is implemented in partnership with Chemonics and focuses on supporting selected Moldovan food companies. The long-term development objective is to contribute to sustainable economic development and poverty reduction in Moldova through increased and diversified agrifood exports.
