The researcher in the future public sphere

David Larsson Heidenblad

The aim of this project is to create better conditions for researchers in the humanities to take up more space in the Swedish public sphere. Why? Because there is far too much good research that never reaches beyond academia. But also, because there are too many important things happening in society that researchers do not see or understand. As a result, our research tends to become too internal. By building bridges, we can have better research and a wiser public.

Community planning for healthy ageing

Anna Nivestam

The aim is to raise awareness among policy makers and community stakeholders on how information from older people, collected during preventive home visits, can be used for community planning that promotes healthy ageing. By disseminating these insights, the voices of older people can be heard by different actors in society, and older people can be given the opportunity to participate and influence aspects (social activities, housing, services, public transport) of society.

Lecture series at Scanian libraries on how the individual prevents stress-related illness

Lotta Sjunnesson

I want to create a combination of lectures and dialogue that in an easy-to-understand and enthusiastic way gives the audience simple keys that allows them with small steps to feel better in everyday life regarding stress-related illness. If you start changing small things in your life, it can ultimately give you the power to later perhaps make a bigger change. My belief is that with many small steps you can change relatively much.

Dentistry

Shahab Mohammadi

The project aims to increase public oral health education but also its link to general health using social media. Through engaging videos, I want to prevent oral diseases and raise awareness of preventive measures, especially important after the lowering of the age limit for free dental care to age 19. Making scientifically based knowledge accessible and interactive empowers individuals to recognise and take responsibility for their own health.

Taking the higher-order perspective – a training day with different groups

Malmö universitet

Perspective-taking is necessary to facilitate dialogues between opposing views and to develop collective intelligence in interdisciplinary and cross-sectoral collaborations. We now need examples and experiences that illustrate how we take more complex perspectives. We also need new ways to measure and evaluate the level of perspective taking so that we can see and operate from these perspectives to a greater extent.

The goal is to develop a minimally invasive technique that, using our malleable, highly conductive electro-material, both removes tumours and trains the immune system in real time. By injecting the hydrogel in situ, we can fight cancer more effectively and gently for the patient. The aim of this specific grant is to protect the rights of the unique material.

Clinical studies of a newly developed ear pipette for improved treatment of ear diseases

ReiBeck Innovation AB

Chronic ear infections are a major problem in developing countries and occur after untreated ear infections with ruptured eardrums, where bacteria form a biofilm that destroys the middle ear. In Sweden, external otitis is common, especially during the summer, and requires cleaning of painful and swollen ear canals. This new plastic pipette can be used for both chronic ear infections in developing countries and external otitis in Sweden, with antiseptic treatment as an alternative to antibiotics.

Exempel-vis: Analytical philosophy through thought experiments

Andrés Garcia

The book is intended to introduce a broad readership to the most central questions of analytic philosophy in an accessible and engaging way. These include what is valuable and moral, how we can understand the nature of consciousness and experience, what is required to interpret linguistic meaning, and so on. Both the questions and their possible answers are presented by means of the tradition’s most vivid and telling thought experiments, while the book actively avoids technical terms and concepts.

What do you do at work? Vocational teachers’ essays and young people’s images of professional skills

Maria Johansson

The explicit aim is to highlight the value and importance of vocational skills by publishing a compendium to challenge the oftentimes negative attitude and simplified view that exists in society. The project creates the conditions for encounters between different experiences and representations of professional skills. The compendium will also include a longer preface on professional skills. In relation to this, another goal is to make visible the educational journey where vocational teachers act as flag bearers and meet young people.
