The project aim is to provide the scientific basis needed to evaluate if and how hair can be used as a reliable diagnostic approach to assess health of individual deer (Figure 1). To do so, we focus on two deer species found in Denmark: red deer (Cervus elaphus) and fallow deer (Dama dama). The objectives are to quantify statistical relationships between trace element concentrations measured in different body tissues to those measured in hair and, subsequently, provide linkages to individual health. For hair to be a reliable health monitoring tool, we expect (1) the chemical composition of
trace elements in hair to closely relate to those in other tissues and (2) the concentration of essential (and non-essential) elements to differ between healthy and unhealthy individuals as determined by ecological indicators, the levels of inflammatory markers in the blood and parasitic load in both blood and faecal samples.Beskrivelse

The use of recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS) in fish farming, is a promising strategy for an economically and environmentally sustainable fish industry. Microorganisms constitute an essential component of all RAS facilities, since they ensure a high water quality by degrading organic matter and oxidizing potentially toxic ammonium to nitrate. A high water quality is vital for maintaining stable RAS conditions that can ensure health and welfare of the fish, as well as profitability of the production.
However, microorganisms are not exclusively beneficial to RAS functions. They compete with the fish for oxygen in the water during degradation of organic matter, may produce extremely toxic hydrogen sulfide, and spread diseases. In addition, some of the microorganisms in RAS facilities may also produce off-flavors that accumulate in fish flesh and reduce consumer attraction for aquaculture-produced fish. Yet, little is known about microbiomes in RAS systems, particularly in terms of their mutual dependency and role in RAS system dynamics.
The RAS-TOOLS project is driven by innovation, expertise by RAS producers and academic knowledge to develop a novel toolbox for monitoring and control of RAS microbiomes. Through massive sequencing of DNA and RNA to better understand microbial communities and their functions in RAS, we expect to reveal new biosignatures for early detection of non-optimal operational conditions. Through modelling and simulations, we expect to obtain a better holistic understanding of the dynamics of RAS systems, and what effects important operational changes (such as changes in pH, alkalinity, and oxidation procedures) might have for the system as a whole.
The RAS-TOOLS project will pave the way for the development of next generation RAS monitoring for better control of water quality and fish health issues, and thereby contribute to the development of a sustainable RAS industry.Beskrivelse

COVID-HL School Principals Survey aims at exploring burden and stress that school principals and school administrators (e.g., deputy principals or members of the school management team) experience in relation to the COVID-19 pandemic. An international network was established to enable research on health literacy within the framework of COVID-19. The COVID-HL Network is understood as a cooperative and collaborative approach which is based on the idea of joint generation of knowledge/evidence and its open distribution. At the moment, more than 100 researchers from 50 countries and located on five continents are involved in the COVID-HL Network.
In particular, the study focuses on the following research questions:
- What is the level of work-related stress for school principals during the COVID-19 pandemic?
- How are school principals dealing with work-related stress? To what extent school principals apply maladaptive coping strategies at the workplace?
- What is the mental health situation of school principals?
- What is the relationship between the current working situation of school principals and their mental health?
- What is the Sense of Coherence (SoC) level of school principals in the time of COVID-19?
- What is the level of corona-specific health literacy among school principals?
- Are there any associations between SoC and health literacy and school principals’ health?
- What school health promotion measures are implemented in schools during COVID-19?
Supported by the World Health Organization, the Health Promoting School (HPS) is considered the most promising approach to promote and maintain good health and wellbeing in the school setting. In contrast to behavioural interventions, the HPS framework is rooted in a determinants-based and structural approach, referring to a holistic intervention approach in which health is promoted in a systematic and asset-based way. HPS is aiming at different levels of the school (teaching, organization, staff, school environment) and involves all relevant groups inside and outside school such as teachers, school leaders, and schoolchildren, as well as parents and school related stakeholders. In context of school closures and restrictions, the question arises whether and to what extent health-promoting measures are currently undertaken by the school.

Demonstrating that the effect of using pre-treated low valuable biomasses is an improved capacity of any given biogas plant by demonstrating that the pre-treatment provides the same amount of methane gas in just 17 days compared with normally 30 days without pre-treatment.
Demonstrating that in 30 days the combined pre-treatment effect gives an extra methane gas yield of +60% compared to a regular cutting and digesting process.
Project description
Biogas plants are unable to convert large portions of the biomass they are treating to energy, which means that up to 40% of the energy in the biomass cannot be utilized. Further, the nutrients (e.g. N, P, K, S) from the biomass are often problematic residual products and are therefore considered waste instead of valuable products (e.g. fertilizer and fuel). Advanced Substrate Technologies has patented a set of innovations that enable a complete Circular Bio- Economic Partnership (CBEP), increasing the plant efficiency and gas yield by up to 50% and making all the byproducts from a biogas plant a source of income.
This set of innovations also broadens the scope of substrates that can be treated in biogas plants: from manure, food and household wastes to also include bigger portions of deep litter, poultry litter, horse manure, straw, grass and other complicated, low-value biomasses. This makes biogas plants more flexible and with better economies. In the future, the circular bio-economic partnership can produce both green protein, animal feed, substrates / growth media, bio-fertilizers, bio-fuel, organic biogas and/or biogas substrate. The project will implement the testing, demonstration and running of these innovations including energy efficiency in transport and use of surplus heat in CBEP.Beskrivelse

Uhensigtsmæssig medicinering ses hyppigt hos ældre på plejehjem. Dette kan have alvorlige konsekvenser for de ældre i form af nedsat livskvalitet og unødige sundhedskontakter, foruden øgede omkostninger for samfundet. Aktiv inddragelse af den ældre og pårørende i beslutninger om medicin kan bidrage til en mere hensigtsmæssig medicinering. Vi mangler dog konkret viden fra en dansk kontekst om, hvordan ældre på plejehjem, som ofte er kognitivt og fysisk svækkede, og deres pårørende bedst inddrages. Vi mangler endvidere viden om, hvordan de sundhedsprofessionelle mest hensigtsmæssigt samarbejder ved medicinændringer hos ældre på plejehjem for at sikre et trygt og sikkert forløb.
Formålet med projektet er at udvikle og pilotteste en intervention for ældre på plejehjem, som skal understøtte en fælles indsats for personcentreret medicinering. Interventionens kernekomponenter tager udgangspunkt i det nye forberedelses- og dialogværktøj PREPAIR, som skal understøtte aktiv inddragelse af ældre på plejehjem og deres pårørende (komponent 1) og et struktureret samarbejde mellem fasttilknyttede plejehjemslæger og -personale ved medicinændringer (komponent 2).
Interventionens kernekomponenter, arbejdsgange og implementeringsstrategi er blevet konkretiseret og tilpasset målgruppen via samskabende og brugerinvolverende processer. Den udviklede intervention er blevet pilotafprøvet efterfølgende på udvalgte plejehjem. Data om de ældre, deres pårørende og de fagprofessionelles oplevelse indsamles via observationer og interviews.
Projektstatus: Dataindsamlingen er afsluttet. Analyse og formidling er i gang.

Creative constraints, the imposition of arbitrary restrictions on choices of content, form or process in creative projects, have been shown to produce inspiration and innovation. This project will gauge the role and utility of ‘evolving’ creative constraints (constraints that are adapted or replaced in response to work in progress) in achieving effective development in three creative project types: the writing of a song, the composition of an academic videoessay, the making of a dance and film piece. These three types will function as case studies to assess the creative potential of evolving constraints per se. Based on attested feedback techniques from dance and art practice, and on game-like procedures in experimental collaborative filmmaking, we will trial a form of interdisciplinary peer-to-peer reciprocal coaching designed to generate evolving (sets of) constraints that can guide a project to unexpected creative places. The three makers — a songwriter, a video essayist and a dance artist-filmmaker — will coach and goad each other to greater originality and achievement through the provision of challenging constraints which the makers will have to ‘satisfy’. Analysis of this experience will inform the articulation of a set of protocols for the setting of generative creative constraints in reciprocal peer-to-peer creative coaching with particular reference to practice research contexts, though it is expected that the coaching method will have applications in many other contexts.

Formål
Projektets formålet er at skabe ny viden om de drivkrafter, som ligger bag, når unge bliver udnyttet eller manipuleret til og fastholdt i at begå narkotikakriminalitet for andre mennesker. Samtidig vil vi gerne kortlægge de fysiske og psykiske overgreb, som unge oplever i denne proces.
Er du mellem 15 og 29 år og involveret i narkomarkedet og gerne vil deltage - anonymt - i forskningsprojektet, så kontakt projektmedarbejder Nina Tvede Korshøj på tlf. 93522409. Arbejder du med eller kender unge, som bliver udnyttet til fx at transportere eller sælge stoffer, så kontakt også gerne Nina.
Baggrund
I 2020 lavede Center for Rusmiddelforskning et spørgeskemabaseret trendspotterstudie, som viste, at udnyttelse af udsatte unge til narkotikakriminalitet er gået fra at være et sporadisk til at blive et systemisk træk ved det danske illegale stofmarked. At udsatte unge udnyttes til narkotikakriminalitet af kriminelle er ikke et nyt fænomen. Der er dog tre strukturelle forhold, der har gjort dette til et voksende problem:
Det illegale stofmarked er blevet mere fragmenteret og konkurrencepræget, hvorfor flere kriminelle grupper forsøger at rekruttere udsatte unge som stofsælgere i forsøget på at vinde markedsandele. I de senere år er der sket en udbredelse af nye og mere arbejdskrævende salgsmetoder, hvor sælgerne tilbyder at bringe stofferne ud til køberne. Dette har skabt en situation, hvor kriminelle bagmænd har brug for en større arbejdsstyrke af unge hjælpere. Flere unge i dag vokser op i relativ fattigdom, og at flere unge lever som hjemløse, hvilket har fået forskere og folk, som arbejder med unge, til at ytre voksende bekymring for, at flere unge er blevet lettere ofre for banders og andre kriminelles udnyttelse.
I Danmark mangler der imidlertid dybdegående kvalitativ viden om, hvordan udsatte unge bliver udnyttet til narkotikakriminalitet. På denne baggrund undersøger vi med dette forskningsprojekt, hvilke udnyttelsesdynamikker, som både kan drive unge ud i og fastholde dem i narkotikakriminalitet.
Undersøgelsen
Vi foretager kvalitative interviews med 40 udsatte unge i alderen 15 til 29 år, som har erfaring med at sælge, transportere og/eller opbevare væsentligt mængder af ulovlige stoffer for andre. Interviewene skal blandt andet afdække:
De udnyttelsesdynamikker, der driver udsatte unge ud i og fastholder dem i narkotikakriminalitet.
De psykiske og fysiske overgreb de unge oplever i denne proces.
I hvilket omfang og i hvilke situationer de unge opfatter sig selv som udnyttede.
Hvilke barrierer der gør, at udnyttede unge ikke altid søger hjælp hos
myndighederne.
Vi gennemfører undersøgelsen fra august 2021 til august 2023.Beskrivelse

This report presents research findings on the impacts of a nonviolent communication program conducted in Bangladesh, the Maldives, and Sri Lanka, between September and December 2021. As detailed in the following pages, findings draw on both quantitative survey data and qualitative data in the form of semi-structured interviews with participants and notes from program sessions. We discuss our methodology, and then present our findings regarding the program’s impact on participants’ attitudes and beliefs, behaviors, and knowledge acquisition.
Our evaluation was designed to match program aims, and thus focuses in particular on whether nonviolent communication skills were imparted to program participants, and whether this in turn led to improvements in gender equality and social cohesion.Beskrivelse
