  1. The CAVA-Project: Comparing Adverse Vaccine Event Reporting – an interdisciplinary study of early 21st Century digital health citizenship in Denmark

    Marie Louise Tørring , Torben Esbo Agergaard , Dorte Rytter , Kristian Hvidtfelt Nielsen & Kristoffer Laigaard Nielbo

    The Danish Medicines Agency’s pharmacovigilance database provides data about suspected adverse reactions reported in Denmark for specific types of medicine.1 The information is used to support postmarketing safety surveillance programs. Currently, thousands of case reports are submitted to the database each year, making it a vast repository of drug safety information. Sometimes cited as a limitation of pharmacovigilance, however, is the assumption that “stimulated reporting” of adverse events occurs in response to warnings, alerts, and label changes that are issued by the health authorities. In vaccine research literature, the idea of ‘stimulated reporting’ builds upon the assumption that reporting of adverse events may burst into self-oscillation when vaccinated subjects are prompted or triggered by feral vaccine risk communication in the media. This entails the hypothesis that adverse vaccine event reports reflect sensory, conscious and communicative phenomena tied to the rise of digital health communication and monitoring technologies that responsibilizes citizens for the care of themselves and others. By comparing communication environments surrounding the implementation of different vaccination programs in Denmark, the project aims to identify and explore self-oscillating effects of pharmacovigilance to understand how these imply a new kind of digital health citizenship emerging out of early 21st Century vaccine politics.Beskrivelse

  3. EU ERASMUS+ Challenging Bias in Big Data user for AI and Machine Learning

    Albena Dimitrova Mihovska

    CHARLIE addresses the education and training gap on algorithmic bias in Higher Education. Ethics are the principles that guide us to make a positive impact through our decisions and actions and AI is evolving so fast that the ethical implications need to be not only regulated as the EU has done, but also understood by those in charge of implementing AI based solutions. Ethics in AI are key: they will play an important role in the near future and Universities need to lead this role for its students, the professionals that will take important decisions about AI in short-term.
    CHARLIE will provide a high-quality OER/Game-based approach to ethical AI training in higher education with DigCompEdu-compliant competences, this placing universities as drivers of change in Ethical AI by mobilizing stakeholders. The formative assessment will be based on an online digital simulator achieving a greater learner engagement in online education in the field of ethics/AI. The ethical AI content will be fully transferable from higher education to adult and Youth education, paving the way to qualification/credit recognition.

  4. Decoding the Rhizobiota Interactome for Improved Crop Resilience (INTERACT)

    Thanassis Zervas , Lea Ellegaard-Jensen , Carsten Suhr Jacobsen & Maria Scheel

    INTERACT will focus on the essential and mutually beneficial interactions between plants and microbes below ground. This project will go beyond a mere inventory of wheat plant microbiome community members, and will provide much needed insight into rhizosphere ecology and microbial communication, with a goal of establishing diagnostic chemical/biological signatures for agro-system stability. With this knowledge, we can rationally and strategically manipulate plant-associated microbial communities to support high plant productivity across challenging climatic and stress scenarios. These critical advances in our understanding of rhizosphere community structure and the chemical landscape that influences its formation and function will be achieved by using genomics, transcriptomics, metaproteomics, metabolomics, in-field and greenhouse plant phenotyping, and network analysis/model construction for evaluating rhizosphere interactions for wheat.Beskrivelse

  6. Explaining Nordic Atheism

    Valerie van Mulukom , Anne Lundahl Mauritsen , Sara Evelina Lundmark , Elisabeth Tveito Johnsen & Roosa Haimila

    Over the last decade, researchers in the cognitive science of religion have started to converge on the idea that religious beliefs are adaptive, and as such, a product of evolved human psychology. This raises the question of how we can explain the presence of atheism around the world — if religious beliefs come naturally and intuitively as an adaptive trait, then whence religious non-belief? We propose, in line with recent evolutionary theories of atheism, that atheistic beliefs, like religious beliefs, are adaptive worldview beliefs made possible by evolved cognitive apparatus, and shaped by one’s local cultural context through cultural learning mechanisms.

    In this project, we empirically test this thesis through an examination of the relevant cultural contexts of the Nordic countries. In doing so, we propose new cultural learning mechanisms of belief, and test them together with cognitive factors through a survey with large, representative samples from the Nordic countries, thus providing novel insight into the relative importance of these different transmission factors. Moreover, by employing a worldview approach, atheism will be investigated not just as a lack of belief in God, but also as part of a broader secular worldview. This will further allow us to uncover different types of atheism.Beskrivelse

  12. DEPARTED - a longitudinal study of irregular migration from Sub-Saharan Africa into Europe

    Christian Vium

    The proposed monograph 'Departed' is a journey alongside irregular migrants who travel from small villages in Sub-Saharan Africa through the hostile expanses of the Sahara desert, across the Mediterranean Sea, reaching Europe in the hope of establishing a better life for themselves and their families. Structured in three parts, the monograph presents a multitude of thick ethnographic cases based on recurrent anthropological fieldwork conducted in Mali, Mauritania, Senegal, Morocco, Spain, Italy, France, and Denmark between 2006 and 2021.

    'Departed' is envisioned as a combined anthropological and photographic monograph. Through its form and content, it draws its reader into a kaleidoscopic journey mirroring that of the migrants as they navigate the many challenges confronting them.Beskrivelse

  13. Global Governance Beyond Neoliberalism

    Hagen Schulz-Forberg & Joshua Rahtz

    The last quarter century of war and economic crisis has revealed many of the limitations of international institutions, ending the era of liberal triumphalism which succeeded the collapse of the USSR in 1991. The period since 2008, characterized by acute economic crisis, the return of apparent great power rivalries, a threat of wider war between nuclear powers, is also accompanied by the historic acceleration of inflation and low growth globally. These developments, alongside a weakening of the liberal democratic order in general, suggest that the process of globalization itself – however illusory its promises for sustained economic dynamism once were – is also now being reversed.

    What are the underlying causes of the contemporary breakdown of globalization, flagging growth of the world economy, and the rise in militarism, including the militarization of much of civil society? Do such developments in turn mean that the neoliberal paradigm which informed globalization is likewise undergoing a fundamental change, or that it is itself being superseded? If the latter, by what, and driven by which political forces, deciding among which alternatives? Beskrivelse

  17. Enhancing Quality in Family Day Care

    Fabio Dovigo & Grethe Kragh-Müller

    This peer learning project will explore partners’ examples of inspiring and effective policies and implementation in family day care (FDC) governance and management systems, workforce professionalisation and development, and recruitment and retention, to strengthen the provision of accessible, affordable, high-quality FDC
    This aim will be achieved through 3 LTTA (Learning, Teaching, Training Activities) and the development and dissemination of a final report and documentation detailing the learning arising.
    Project objectives:
    1. Identify and explore effective approaches to developing competent multi-level systems in FDC governance and quality management, enabling professionalisation and workforce development, and generating FDC recruitment and retention strategies, to strengthen FDC
    2. Share the learning with target groups and stakeholders responsible for multi-level policymaking and VET infrastructures, to influence policy objectives and actions
    3. Increase the capacity of partner organisations to advocate for effective policies and practices that enable high-quality FDC systems and services
    4. Explore further partnerships opportunities and ways to engage family day carers in EU cooperation and learning activities Learning Outcomes/Results
    •Project partners and target groups will demonstrate improved knowledge of effective policy options and instruments for FDC systems development, workforce professionalisation and development, and recruitment and retention due to participating in the LTTAs
    •Target groups and stakeholders will engage with their learning achieved through LTTA and final project output dissemination
    •Project partners will demonstrate an increased capacity to articulate and advocate for policies and implementation that strengthen the provision of accessible, affordable, high-quality FDC
    •Project partners will be more open and committed to transnational EU cooperation and exchange and would consider engaging in a further EU project that includes family day carers.
    This project links with the Erasmus + Programme priorities as in the partner countries socially and economically disadvantaged families, and children with special needs, are great users of FDC, in the Irish case, more than centre-based services. Yet there remain challenges in all 3 partner countries to supporting the workforce in FDC to meet the rights and needs of vulnerable children and families and progress inclusion and understand diversity. The workforce can lack the competence in inclusive pedagogy due to non-participation in relevant CPD.
    Family day carers, largely female, have poor pay and conditions: Professionalisation is crucial.
    While countries like Denmark have plans and management systems in place to pursue inclusive practice, and support access for a diverse population of children and families, strategies and guidelines from municipalities remain inadequate to accommodate children and families from non-standard backgrounds - exclusion is widespread.Beskrivelse

  26. The Bear in the Room: Russia’s Role in the United Nations Security Council (and How to Deal with It)

    Jonas Gejl Kaas

    Multilateralism has come under pressure in the past few years. Russia in particular has emerged as a main challenger and spoiler of the rules-based international order (USS, 2022: 16). This is evident in Russia’s voting behavior at the United Nations Security Council (UNSC), where it is frequently using its veto prerogative as one of the five permanent members to block decisions. Most recently, Russia predictably vetoed a UNSC resolution condemning its aggression towards Ukraine. Ahead of Denmark’s prospective UNSC membership, this project aims to examine Russia’s diplomatic activities and practices at the world body. Based on this analysis, it explores opportunities and constraints from a small state perspective of how to deal effectively with Russia in the UNSC. Specifically, it investigates three strategies: (1) Pragmatist deal making, which refers to an approach of combining a low-key stance on matters involving great power rivalry with cooperative engagement on issues such peacekeeping, aid programs, and humanitarian disaster relief. (2) Isolation, which refers to an approach of close coordination with other Western council members to insulate Russia. (3) Bridge building, which refers to an approach of using formal and informal practices at the council to overcome Russia-Western divisions (where possible) at a time of heightened tensions. The project discusses the benefits and pitfalls of each strategy, aiming to identify the conditions under which one or the other approach are most likely to be successful. By highlighting the opportunities and challenges of each strategy, the project provides hands-on recommendations to assist Denmark in fulfilling its commitment to safeguard an international order based on rules and right (USS, 2022: 11).

  29. Forslag til opdatering af Københavns Kommunes luftkvalitetsindeks

    Thomas Ellermann , Steen Solvang Jensen & Torben Sigsgaard

    DCE - Nationalt center for miljø og energi har i et projekt for Københavns Kommune udarbejdet et forslag til et nyt luftkvalitetsindeks, som skal være baseret på Københavns Kommunes målinger af luftkvalitet. Det nye luftkvalitetsindeks er baseret på opdaterede retningslinjer fra WHO for korttidseksponeringen for PM2,5, PM10, kvælstofdioxid og ozon. Det nye forslag til luftkvalitetsindeks er forsimplet for overskuelighedens skyld. Forslaget til luftkvalitetsindeks er sammenholdt med måleresultaterne for 2021 fra gademålestationen på H.C. Andersens Boulevard og bybaggrundsmålestationen på H.C. Ørsted Instituttet. Endvidere er der lavet et nyt forslag til handleanvisninger for befolkningen i København, som er koblet til luftkvalitetsindekset og som har til mål at reducere borgernes eksponering for helbredsskadelig luftforurening. Handleanvisningerne er opdelt i anvisninger for almindelige - og sårbare borgere. Endelig er der udarbejdet en række mere vidtgående forslag til forbedring af luftkvalitetsindekset, hvor det blandt andet er foreslået at koble luftkvalitetsindekset til korttidsprognoser for udviklingen i luftkvaliteten.
