  1. Ph.d.-projekt: Kompetenceorienteret integreret STEM-undervisning

    Maria Møller & Tomas Højgaard

    STEM er akronym for Science, Technology, Engineering og Mathematics. Både nationalt og internationalt er der efterspørgsel på elever og studerende med STEM-kompetencer. Der findes aktuelt ikke beskrivelser af STEM-kompetencer, som kan danne udgangspunkt for kompetenceorienteret STEM-undervisning.

    Forskning har vist at, hvor der anvendes en integreret tilgang til STEM-undervisning, kan eleverne på et tilfredsstillende niveau anvende integrerede STEM-begreber, ræsonnere på et højere niveau, og de har en højere tiltro til egne evner.

    I projektet sammentænker jeg internationale principper for integreret STEM-undervisning med en kompetencebeskrevet STEM-faglighed.

    Projektet vil bidrage med viden om, hvordan STEM-kompetencebeskrivelser kan danne udgangspunkt for kompetenceorienteret integreret STEM-undervisning.

  2. Plant Memories, Botanical Colonialism and "growing" Danishness: the hidden history of Danish houseplants from Southern Africa

    Nick Shepherd , Mikkel Thelle , Mikael Frausing & Joshua Benjamin Cohen

    Many species of quintessentially Danish houseplants originate from the Cape, South Africa. Botanists and plant hunters collected plants in the colonies and brought them to Europe on Dutch trading vessels. The plants were studied, classified, kept and cared for by scientists and gardeners in the emerging botanical gardens and sold to wealthy private collectors, where they were put on display to tell stories about wealth, colonial power, international connections within trade and science and a fond curiosity for the exotic and the strange. Gradually these plants travelled on from the orangeries of the nobility to the windowsills of the bourgeoisie. In the last half of the 19th Century the temperate house at greater nurseries, and manor houses was referred to as “Det Kapske Hus”, The Cape House. Up until the widespread introduction of double-glazing and insulation, the drafty micro-climate of Danish homes closely recapitulated the external climate of the Cape. Post-OPEC, insulation and central heating have led to the introduction of more tropical species of houseplants, so that the Cape species now form part of a nostalgic repertoire of Danishness, associated with Christmas blooming and “the way things used to be”.

    Situated at the confluence between Natural and Cultural Heritage Studies, this project examines histories of entanglement between Denmark and the Cape, South Africa, via the transportation, trade and nurturing of Cape houseplants. Perceived as quintessentially Danish, and harking to a pre-OPEC era, Danish/ Cape houseplants open questions of nationalism, nostalgia, conviviality and coloniality at the heart of Danish hygge. Placed on widow-sills, tended by (especially) women, they become part of a gendered domestic sphere and a central element in the performativity of home and hearth. Blossoming at Christmas, they speak of the inversion of seasons and the melancholy fate of the migrant. Rewarding human care with flourishing, they speak of intimate co-species relationships. With historical, archival, ethnographic, and art historical elements, this interdisciplinary project aims to surface the story of Danish/ Cape houseplants as an Anthropocene story.

    Framed as a transnational, transdisciplinary project, it involves researchers in three national locations, Denmark, South Africa and the Netherlands, working across a range of disciplines and fields: heritage studies, art history, botany, ecology, environmental anthropology, oral history and archaeology. Different aspects of the project will comb the archives in Denmark, South Africa and the Netherlands to reconstruct the historical trade in Cape plants; collect oral histories relating to plants in the home; work from Danish still-life and floral painting traditions; work ethnographically in Denmark and the Cape; and conduct an Anthropocene audit of the contemporary fate of the wild progenitors of Danish houseplants in the Cape.

    Conceptually, we are excited by three sets of ideas. The first is to think about the windowsill as a particular kind of domestic space, on the threshold between the private sphere of the home and the public space of the street, with its own performativity, microclimate and aesthetics. The second is to think about inter-species relationships in the affective and nurturing bonds between people and plants. The third is to think about what it means to take a plant-centered perspective on social and political history, and to re-examine such familiar themes as national identity, coloniality, and gender roles from the perspective of the (pl)Anthropocene.

  7. Promoting the socio-economic impact of research – the role of funding practices

    Carter Walter Bloch , Duncan Andrew Thomas , Irene Ramos-Vielba & Maria-Theresa Norn

    Despite growing emphasis on the generation of socio-economic impact of public research, our understanding of how research funders seek to stimulate societal goals and how different funding approaches may shape the nature of the research is limited. Given that funding systems are central in defining the scope, content and direction of public research, a detailed understanding of this factor is vital.

    The overall aim of the project is to explore how and to which extent research funding aimed at increasing societal contributions may shape research practices and networks in public research. This will be done in a multilevel comparative design with two research fields, renewable energy and food science, within three countries, Denmark, Norway and the Netherlands.

    The project will explore funders’ focus and requirements in relation to a wider societal orientation of research, and examine through in-depth case studies how research funding promotes societal outcomes. Beskrivelse

  12. Re-humanising Automated Decision-Making

    Martin Berg , Jacob Svensson , Deborah Lupton , Vaike Fors , Sarah Pink , Deborah Lanzeni , Kaspar Raats , Bertil Rolandsson , Minna Ruckenstein , Rachel Charlotte Smith & Julia Velkova

    Processes and technologies of automation are increasingly transforming and challenging everyday life, organisations and institutions. Automation has changed from making things to making important decisions about people’s lives and opportunities based on algorithmic data processing. Such Automated Decision-Making (ADM) is often understood as a mechanism for making decisions on automated grounds without human involvement. However, in fact, humans are involved in every stage of such decision-making. Social science research shows not only that humans are involved in these processes but how they are involved. The imagined absence of people in ADM systems limits the capacity of ADM to make decisions designed to align with societal structures and to resonate with the complexity of people’s everyday lives.

    The network will bring together researchers from different disciplines to meet the challenge of re-humanising ADM. The starting point is to approach the complexities of ADM by re-establishing the human as an actor in the human-machine relationships emerging in the wake of recent ADM technologies and discourses. The overall research question for the network is: How can the research and design of ADM be humanised by accounting for the presence of people, rather than assuming their absence? What does ‘automation’ mean in this context, and how do humans intervene in and support machine decision-making?Beskrivelse

  16. Scaleup of redox flow batteries

    Anders Bentien

    The project is on rechargeable batteries for large scale energy storage, where a solution of vanadium is used to hold the energy. A danish produced stack (battery assembly) will be developed, and a system will be demonstrated where 100 kWh of power can be stored. The idea is to ude the system for storage of renewable energy from wind turbines etc.

    Vanadium redox flow batteries (VRFB) is a promising technology for renewable energy storage and load balancing. Applications include domestic and local load balancing of photovaltaics. By scale-up of the modular technology, VRFB systems will be very suitable for energy storage on the level of wind turbines and for grid balancing (MW/MWh scale).

    The project RED-BATS will scale-up VRFB stacks from 5 to 25 kW to establish compatibility with large system (MW) and increase efficiency and reduce cost of ownership of systems.

    At 25 kW/100 kWh range system will be demonstrated. It is the ambition to establish a Danish production of RFB stacks and systems at VisBlue in Aarhus, as well as to expand a competitive Danish supply-chain for VFB key components.

    Birte Boelt

    SCOUT Mobile aims to address this need by developing, validating and demonstrating FaunaPhotonics’ (FP) existing stationary sensor technology SCOUT for mobile carrier systems, i.e. tractors and spraying machines. A new LED sensor unit will be designed, built, tested and validated under field conditions. The artificial intelligence (AI) will be adjusted to a moving environment and prepared for future integration with intelligent spraying equipment. The AI will be able to predict insect behavior and enable decision-support by transmitting ON/OFF commands real-time to pesticide sprayer nozzles sections. This has not been done before when it comes to insect monitoring/control. FP conservatively estimates the technology to save insecticide applications by 30%, amounting to 81-121 DKK/ha/year. In addition, as insect recognition is real-time, early season pest attacks can be detected with possible yields gains.Beskrivelse

  22. SoilCom – Bæredygtige jorde ved hjælp af kvalitetskompost med definerede egenskaber

    Hanne Lakkenborg Kristensen & Margita Hefner

    Nordsø-regionen har et intensivt landbrug, der er karakteriseret ved en driftsform der nedbryder jordens frugtbarhed. Denne udfordring kan ikke løses med de tilgængelige metoder så som kompost og biologisk affald. Imens stiger behovet for jordforbedring. De største barrierer for at imødegå dette behov er a) mangel på egnede og stabiliserede midler til jordforbedring og ressource-effektive forbedringer af jordens kvalitet, og b) overensstemmelse mellem behov og risici i europæiske og nationale regler og love. Disse fælles territoriale udfordringer bliver adresseret i dette projekt ved
    i)design og produktion af skræddersyede kompostprodukter baseret på biologisk affald, både på gård- (lokalt) og kompostfirma- (regionalt) niveau;
    ii)test og definition af kvalitetsstandarder for kompost til specifikke anvendelser til erstatning af kompost til generelt brug;
    iii)øget viden og opmærksomhed, produktion og anvendelse af kompost, og
    iv)udvikling af retningslinjer til justering og forbedring af certificering og regulering af kvalitetskompost i Nordsø-regionen

    Dette projekt involverer forsknings-/rådgivningscentre, kompost og gartneriproducenter og regionale myndigheder i fem Nordsø-regioner for at afstemme til lokale, regionale og trans-europæiske behov og barrierer. SoilCom vil transformere ‘affald’ til ‘ressource’, støtte EU politikker om cirkulær økonomi og øge kulstoflagring, vand og næringsstof-effektivitet, produktiviteten hos havebrugs- og kompostfirmaer og reducere pesticid anvendelsen.

    Måling af metanudledning af 5-10.000 individuelle køer mhp forbedrede bedriftsregnskaber og avl for mindre metanudledning

    Vi vil sænke metanudledningen fra mælkeproduktionen i Danmark dels gennem systematisk avl og dels gennem robuste estimater til managementmæssige og fodringsmæssige tiltag. Udgangspunktet er udviklingen af en målemetode til individuelle, kvantitative målinger af metanudskillelsen fra malkekoen direkte i stalden. Metoden vil give præcise målinger på et meget stort antal køer i danske malkekvægsbesætninger til en lav pris. Dette giver en unik fremtidssikret dataplatform, som er udgangspunktet for de øvrige aktiviteter. Derfor kan projektet som noget helt unikt på verdensplan udvikle og implementere et avlsindeks i kvægbruget, som gør det muligt at nedbringe metanudledningen fra malkekvægssektoren gennem et systematisk avlsarbejde under hensyntagen til koens fysiologi og sundhed. Derudover vil projektet generere data og estimere metanudledning af effekter der vil forbedre bedriftsregnskaber og modellering. Beskrivelse

  26. The Governance of Career Guidance Systems in Nordic Countries

    Pia Seidler Cort , Anne Larson & Kristina Mariager-Anderson

    The idea of Governance of Career Guidance Systems in Nordic Countries workshops is to gather scholars from four Nordic countries (Finland, Denmark, Norway and Sweden) to tackle this gap in knowledge. The scholarly impact of the workshops will be twofold: First, the project will offer a novel empirical understanding of the prospects of guidance in globalised late-modern Nordic knowledge societies. Instead of focusing on the individual and psychological theories of career guidance, the project seeks to unravel how career guidance
    systems are governed at national and local levels in the Nordic context. Second, with its new institutional approach, the project will contribute to the under-studied and emerging scholarly field of governance of career guidance systems, located at the intersection of the politics of education and social and administrative studies, by combining theories from different paradigms and participating in debates in several scholarly fields. As an outcome of the workshops, first, a special issue “National and local perspectives to
    governance of career guidance systems in Nordic countries” will be published in a prestigious peer-reviewed journal, which will be thoroughly deliberated at the first workshop. Second, both workshops will offer a platform to prepare joint research proposals focusing on the comparison and analyses of the organisation and governance of career guidance systems at national and local levels for national and Nordic funding organisations.
    To grasp the issue of governing national and local career guidance systems in a comparative manner, the interplay between continuity and change become important. Unveiling factors that 2 lead to continuity (such as the division of jurisdiction between institutions, dissimilar administrative cultures and lack of resources for cooperative work) and issues enabling change
    (such as supranational trends and domestic political will to reinforce career guidance) is an essential precondition for serious and determined endeavours to develop and renew governance of Nordic career guidance systems.
    The theoretical approach of the workshops will be new institutional theory, which seeks to explain the role that institutions play in the formation of social and political outcomes of career guidance systems. Hence, the institutions will not simply be seen as a product of policy processes under the given power relations in the context. Instead, new institutional analysis has the potential to explain how institutions affect the behaviour of the actors: how do actors behave, what do institutions do, and why do institutions persist or change over time the way
    they do? (Hall & Taylor 1996).Beskrivelse

  27. The limits of AI semiotics: A pilot study probing generative AI image models’ understanding of causality and abstraction

    Maja Bak Herrie

    Maja Bak Herrie and Danish Technological Institute have received seed funding from Interacting Minds Centre (IMC) at Aarhus University to undertake the project The limits of AI semiotics: A pilot study probing generative AI image models’ understanding of causality and abstraction.

    The project is to investigate the foundational limitations to the way state-of-the-art AI image generation models respond to different types of visual signification, i.e., in their understanding of the relation between the prompt and what that prompt means. While AI image generation models show great promise in simulating high quality imagery, they also tend to fail in subtle and strange ways: producing hands with 6 fingers or text that resembles no language. Applying the semiotics of Charles S. Peirce, specifically his tripartite model of signs, the project explores how successfully different image generation models respond to prompts relying on each of the three different types of signification in Peirce’s model and trace the results back to the underlying techniques used to make the models. The results of these experiments, whether positive or negative, open up new questions of the depth or shallowness of AI image generation models’ understanding of signs. Beskrivelse

    Georg Fischer , Heather Anne Swanson , Astrid Oberbeck Andersen , Malayna Raftopoulos , Mikkel Fugl Eskjær , Kristine Samson & Stefan Gaarsmand Jacobsen

    Our network will orchestrate a set of conversations on global environmental justice at the intersection of academia and civil society (focusing on activists and NGOs). It seeks to strengthen the environmental humanities in Denmark and its links to civil society, while also developing tools and concepts for a new public
    environmental humanities that connects Denmark to the world. Through the lens of global justice, the network seeks to probe and redefine the boundaries between scholarly and societal engagement by inquiring into new modes of intervention and by underscoring the real-world relevance of humanistic renderings of humannonhuman entanglements in times of global ecological crisis. The application is grounded in two complementary ideas: 1) that the humanities would be theoretically enriched by more engagement with newly emerging forms of environmental civil society engagement; 2) that humanities scholars have much that they could be contributing to public environmental debates.Beskrivelse

  31. TIME4CS: Supporting sustainable Institutional Changes to promote Citizen Science in Science and Technology

    Kristian Hvidtfelt Nielsen & Gitte Kragh

    TIME4CS (Supporting sustainable Institutional Changes to promote Citizen Science in Science and Technology) aims at supporting and facilitating the implementation of sustainable Institutional Changes in Research Performing Organizations (RPOs) to promote Public Engagement (citizens and citizens associations) and Citizen Science in science and technology. TIME4CS has identified 4 Intervention Areas (IAs) that alone or combined can stimulate the Institutional Changes necessary to promote Public Engagement in R&I activities: i) Research; Education and Awareness; iii) Support resources and Infrastructure; iv) Policy and Assessment.
    Institutional Changes should be: i) irreversible, ii) comprehensive, iii) inclusive and iv) contextualized. Bearing this in mind, TIME4CS will establish a knowledge transfer and mutual learning programme between Front-Runners (FRs) and Implementers (Is). The first ones are RPOs with a comprehensive expertise in Citizen Science and that have already undergone Institutional Changes. The latter are TIME4CS beneficiaries still in the early stages of the implementation of Institutional Changes to support Citizen Science, willing to face the challenge of introducing CS activities in their structures. The mutual learning programme will lead to the development of specific and tailored roadmaps for each implementing organisation inclyding a set of specific and detailed actions to follow (Grounding Actions). The whole process will be supported by two facilitator partners supporting the knowledge transfer and the definition of the Grounding Actions.
    TIME4CS will be carried out by a consortium integrating 11 partners from 8 EU Member States and 1 associated country. TIME4CS Consortium merges a variety of complementary expertise, and the proven partners’ skills, the experiences identified and their involvement in similar initiatives are strategic for matching TIME4CS objectives.Beskrivelse

  34. Unravelling Mechanisms for Novel Fast-Acting Antidepressant Drugs with Cannabidiol

    Sâmia Joca

    BACKGROUND: All known antidepressants promote mood improving effects only after several weeks of treatment and are ineffective in about 40% of patients. Identification of novel molecular and cellular targets for more efficient antidepressants represent a significant unmet medical need. Although several targets for antidepressant drugs have been identified, it is not clear how these targets are translated into mechanisms that trigger their clinical effect. In the search for new drug targets that may help point the way to developing more effective medication for mood disorders, we will explore the molecular signature underlying the actions of cannabidiol (CBD), which triggers fast and sustained antidepressant effects. The mechanisms behind this remarkable action

    OBJECTIVES. The overall objectives are to investigate and clarify the molecular and morphological landscape of two new promising antidepressant strategies, ketamine and CBD, in disease models of depression, as well as to identify potential biomarkers for depression and response to treatment.
    METHODS: Methylomic, transcriptomic (RNAseq), proteomic (LC/MS) and neuroplastic data will be obtained from advanced animal models of depression and treatment-resistant depression. The data from the brain and peripheral tissue will be subjected to an advanced pathway analysis in order to understand common molecular and morphological signatures, which will later be compared to clinical samples.
    SCIENTIFIC, SCHOLARY & SOCIETAL RELEVANCE: By unbiased identification of the common molecular signatures of CBD and ketamine, the project will clarify the molecular mechanisms involved in the antidepressant effect. The project will also contribute with the identification of potential biological markers associated with response/resistance to treatment. The success of the research program could benefit society in several aspects, from the patient to universities and the pharmaceutical industry.
