The aim of this pilot study is to provide the first insight into climate change effects on the bioavailability and transfer of essential and non-essential elements through Arctic food-chains. All living organisms require minerals and nutrients (i.e. essential elements) to survive, grow, and reproduce. In contrast, contaminants and potentially toxic elements, such as metals/metalloids including lead (Pb) or mercury (Hg) (i.e. non-essential elements) can suppress health and Darwinian fitness. Shifts in local availability and transfer of essential and non-essential elements through food-chains can have negative effects across all trophic levels and ultimately on the biodiversity of entire ecosystems. Climate change is believed to impact the biogeochemical processes involved in the deposition, bioavailability, and transfer of essential and non-essential elements through terrestrial food-chains, by influencing aboveground-belowground linkages and trophic interactions. The Arctic tundra provides an ideal setting to study climate-induced shifts in the transfer of these elements as the region is warming rapidly and experiencing dramatic changes in snow regimes. Moreover, long-range transport of contaminants into the region also occurs, causing a serious concern for the health of humans and wildlife. The proposed pilot project will exploit long-term monitoring stations, muskox exclosures, and experimental warming plots in Zackenberg valley (Greenland) to collect the baseline field data needed to quantify climate change impacts on the bioavailability and transfer of essential and non-essential elements through local food-chains. By uniting empirical, experimental and predictive modelling approaches the project will deliver i) maps showing spatial and temporal variation in the chemical composition of different soil and vegetation types, ii) quantitative values of essential and non-essential element transfer between trophic levels, and iii) an assessment of how climate change can affect aboveground-belowground linkages and trophic interactions at Zackenberg. The design, results and outputs of this pilot study could set the golden standard for ecosystem monitoring and experimental projects elsewhere in the Arctic. Beskrivelse

The network addresses the call for sustainable alternative protein for food production. Meat from traditional meat producing animals contributes significantly to greenhouse gas emissions (GHG), deforestation, and puts pressure on valuable resources such as land and water. We need more climate friendly alternatives to produce meat, and to achieve this we need groundbreaking enabling technologies. A revolutionary new and promising alternative to the traditional way of producing animal protein is the cultivation of muscle cells outside the living animal in a bioreactor, thus bypassing animal production. Further, the network underpins the call for healthy and tasty food produced in environmentally and socially sustainable way; Meat is a palatable and highly nutritious food, which we need to produce in a more sustainable way, while still securing a high consumer acceptance regarding both production method and taste. Culturing of cell-based meat has the potential to be sustainable in terms of GHG emission, water and land; when energy use is delivered by a sustainable source.Beskrivelse

Fire fødestuer på Regionshospital Nordjylland i Hjørring skal i samarbejde med fire kunstnere indrettes med multisensorisk installationskunst for at fremme sundheden hos alle fødende på hospitalet.
Kunsten skal bringe den unikke nordjyske natur ind på fødestuerne og derigennem nedsætte stressniveauet og fremme sundheden hos de fødende.
Projektet er et samarbejde mellem hospitalet og fire kunstnere, som tæller billedkunstner Henrik Godsk, naturfotograf Morten Hilmer, komponist og forsker Marie Højlund samt Ph.d., arkitekt og designer Esben Bala Skouboe, som alle er anerkendte inden for deres respektive kunstneriske felt.
De fire multisensoriske kunstværker kommer til at være en nyfortolkning af skagensmalernes arbejde og skal således bringe den nordjyske natur ind på fødestuerne ved at kombinere billedkunst, fotografi, musik og lys.
- Kunstprojektet på Regionshospital Nordjylland kombinerer alle vores tre indsatsområder – Nordjylland, kunst og mental sundhed – og vi er derfor glade for at kunne bidrage. Kunstnerne er hver især anerkendte inden for deres felt, og vi glæder os til at følge projektet og se de færdige fødestuer, udtaler bestyrelsesformand hos Det Obelske Familiefond, Christen W. Obel, der har støttet projektet med 1,19 millioner kroner.
Fødestuerne er inspireret af projektet ”Fremtidens Fødestue” på Hospitalsenheden Vest i Herning, hvor man i et pilotprojekt fra 2015-18 har indrettet en fødestue med multisensorisk kunst. Her viser resultaterne, at de fødende og deres partnere har vurderet forløbet på fødestuen yderst positivt og været tilfredse med oplevelsen.
Fødestuerne med de nye installationer forventes at blive taget i brug i begyndelsen af 2021.Lægmandssprog

A long running discussion within the social sciences and humanities are if and how researchers should engage with an intervene in their fields of study. Some worry that by being engaged the
researcher is compromising their “objective” position, while other warn that by being distant the researcher will fail to improve problematic or unethical conditions. However, in a quite recent book Zuiderent-Jerak (2015) suggests that a problem in these discussions is that the act of engagement is separated from the production of knowledge. “Twisting the lions tail” Zuiderent-Jerak thus suggests interventions as a generative mode of knowledge production. This edited volume will add to the understanding about interventions as generative mode of knowledge production by discussing the dilemmas involved in this process and the motivations to engage and intervene from a theoretical perspective of care. We find this increasingly important in a time where on the one hand many researchers want to be more engaged in a world that is increasingly polarized, and on the other many research grants come with stipulations about partnership with actors outside academia. We identify two main ways of approaching engagement from a perspective of care. The first approach to care can be called a “care in practice” – approach which understands care as persistent tinkering. The care in practice approach employs a form of empirical philosophy aiming to study facts, concerns, goods and values produced in situ. Much like Jensen’s (2007) call to sort attachments and Zuiderent-Jerak’s (2015) suggestion of situated interventions, care in practice scholars have emphasized the importance of studying goods and values within the setting under study, rather than engaging with and bringing in normativities from the “outside”. In this context, Pols (2008) stress the promises of being re-scriptive and suggestive by interfering “in the practices studied by opening implicit notions of good care for (self) reflection” (Pols 2008: 52). Drawing on in situ observations and situated analysis researchers can thus make suggestions for improvement and construct interventions.The second approach is often called critical care. A key issue in this approach is to draw attention questions of power, to care’s non-innocence and to the exclusions reproduced in and through care (Martin, Myers & Viseu 2015). In relation to engagement and interventions, critical care scholars emphasize commitment as an important aspect of care (Puig de la Bellacasa 2017). Care from this approach is not just something existing in the practices and situations we study, but instead Puig de la Bellacasa urges the researcher to think about their own cares and asks, “what we are encouraging caring for?” (2011: 92). She suggests that interventions can be ethically committed without being normative. An approach which is “More than following the actors, less than showing ‘the’ way” (Puig de la Bellacasa 2017: 143). Similarly, López-Gómez suggests to use care as a heuristic for “taking sides, participating, acting, making a choice, taking a position, but without taking for granted a general or fundamental principle on which these actions would safely and coherently be grounded” (López-Gómez 2019: 10). Thinking about engagement with care, a number of questions arise. How can we make careful engagements and interventions? How can we make re-scriptions? What inequalities do we risk producing especially when there is funding involved? How do we take sides without taking for granted a fundamental principle of action? What tensions and struggles do we meet while engaging with care in practice? How does this affect academic work and output? The book will provide empirical examples of careful engagement, as well as theoretical reflections about the issues and questions presented above.Beskrivelse

In the age of the internet of things (IoT), the presence of smart devices in everyday life is rapidly growing. This poses new challenges to owners that need to adjust to the promising new technologies. In addition, organizationshave to adjust their products in relations to other products to provide more value than they do alone. Both customers and organizations have to deal with and adapt to these transformational digital shifts. Nevertheless, while this development creates potential opportunities for companies and customers, it will also induce major theoretical and business-related challenges, which are mainly associated with the technological possibilities and consumer behavior with regard to IoT.To address these challenges, this interdisciplinary project will use structural equation modelling and natural language processing (NLP) (i.e., text mining, web scraping, topic modeling) to discover emerging concepts of user behavior, interdependencies and human-object relationships, which in consequence could be applied to IoT use in general.Beskrivelse

Achieving climate-smart sustainable agriculture is one of humanity’s grand challenges, because there are some potential conflicts between climate change and biomass. The global demands for biomass production are expected to grow substantially by the end of this century, particularly with the increasing demands for non-fossil energy and materials. To meet the growing requirements for food, fiber and bioenergy, people have been seeking ways to increase biomass production in sustainable agriculture systems, such as optimized cropping systems. However, before unrolling the concept of optimized cropping systems on larger areas, it is critical to gain a better understanding of biomass production and soil carbon stocks due to the pressing challenges from climate change.
Many questions associated with optimized cropping systems remain unresolved: (1) Can we increase both soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks and biomass production simultaneously in intensive agricultural systems? (2) How can we protect SOC with accelerated climate warming and intensified cropping systems? and (3) What are the main factors affecting SOC decomposition in the complex intensive agricultural systems?
The overarching objective is to explore and reveal the determining factors that protect and increase SOC stocks while increasing biomass production with innovative cropping systems under climate change.

Pre-eclampsia is a potentially life-threatening, placenta-associated disease that affects 3% of pregnancies. Aspirin treatment started early in pregnancy reduces the risk of pre-eclampsia but recent guidelines call for prophylactic treatment of 1 in 10 normal pregnancies based on a screening procedure. The problem is the paucity of data on the potential long-term effects, lack of maternal safety data, and surprisingly, insufficient knowledge on the mechanism behind the beneficial effects of aspirin. We will use advanced epidemiological methods to investigate potential risks of aspirin in the Danish registries and in a unique source of prenatal ultrasound data. Outcome include maternal postpartum haemorrhage, foetal growth, and neurodevelopmental offspring outcomes. To corroborate the epidemiological findings and to provide new biological insight in placental biology, we will perform Next Generation Sequencing on placental tissue from unexposed and aspirin exposed pregnancies.

Målet med SeaSus-protein er at udvikle 2-3 funktionelle proteinprodukter fra dansk tang ved at 1) teste effekten af bioraffinering (fermentering, ekstraktion og tørring) på kvaliteten af proteinprodukter fra fire nordiske tangarter: søsalat, sukkertang, vingetang og søl, samt 2) optimere metode(r) til ekstraktion af protein fra disse. Projektet vil klarlægge hvilke tangarter og bioraffineringsmetoder, der er mest optimale med hensyn til højt proteinudbytte, smag, fødevarefunktionelle egenskaber, proteinkvalitet og fordøjelighed. De mest lovende produkter vil blive testet i ost, både som smagsgiver (reduktion af salt, positiv på sundhed) og som erstatning for mælkeprotein (positiv på klima) samt i et farsprodukt. Da søsalatprotein er et nyt produkt på markedet og masseforekomster af søsalat skaber problemer i danske fjorde, vil projektet udvikle og demonstrere skånsom høst af søsalat i stor skala.

Lydunivers til AMDUAT. En iltmaskine er en billedstærk forestilling med nykomponeret liveopført musik, ambiente lydlandskaber, videokunst, lys og performance iscenesat på en sjældent set 28 meter lang scene.
Som Harald Voetmanns bog er forestillingen en sammensmeltning af fortællingen om en mand, som dør på Holbæk sygehus og den ægyptiske solguds rejse gennem dødsriget om natten. Amduat betyder ”det der er i underverdenen” og er navnet på den old-egyptiske forståelse af dødsriget.
Musik og lydbilleder komponeres af komponisterne Hari Shankar Kishore og Marie Højlund. På scenen skaber Hari Shankar Kishore rytmiske lydfortællinger ved at fusionere elektronisk musik med autentisk nutidig ægyptisk musik af kor, stemmer og lydbilleder fra det ægyptiske gadeliv. Den rytmiske musik afbrydes og indrammes af ambiente lydlandskaber skabt af komponist og lydkunstner Marie Højlund fra hendes forskning af auditive danske hospitalsmiljøer.Beskrivelse
