Karin Edberg is an Assistant University Lecturer at Theme Technology and Social Change (THEME) within the Department of Theme (TEMA) at Linköping University since 2020. Her work focuses on the intersection of social practices, energy systems, and urban planning, with particular expertise in nuclear heritage and sustainable mobility transitions. Dr. Edberg received her PhD in Sociology from Södertörn University, where her dissertation examined how global energy dilemmas become place-bound through physical infrastructure locations. Her academic journey includes previous positions at Uppsala University (Department of Geosciences, Wind Energy Section) and Örebro University (Department of Humanities, Educational and Social Sciences, Environmental Sociology). Her research explores how everyday practices arise, change, and are maintained in relation to energy transition and mobility. She investigates the relationship between practice and policy with focus on class and power dimensions, examining both static and dynamic understandings of practices. Current projects include studying mobility beyond the car with emphasis on municipal planning's role in transition, and cultural heritage processes related to nuclear power decommissioning. Her work spans multiple dimensions of societal transformation, particularly in how climate and sustainability discourses interact with infrastructure development. Her recent publications reveal consistent themes across sociology, environmental studies, and urban planning, with increasing focus on nuclear heritage and micromobility. The trajectory shows movement from broader energy landscape studies toward more specific investigations of children's engagement with decommissioned sites and the infrastructural components of emerging mobility practices like e-biking. Dr. Edberg actively contributes to interdisciplinary research through projects including STRIPE (Sociotechnical Research on Infrastructures, Politics and Environment), NuSPACES (Nuclear Spaces), and research on governance of urban micromobility in Swedish municipalities. Her work connects environmental sociology with practical urban planning challenges. As an educator, she teaches across the Urban Planning Bachelor's Program and the Master's Program in Strategic Urban and Regional Planning. She serves as course coordinator for Project Work, Internship, and Individual In-depth Study in Strategic Urban Planning, and contributes to career portfolio development for master's students. Her teaching directly connects with her research interests in sustainable urban development and societal transformation. She works within several research environments including the Profile Area Social Transformations, which addresses societal challenges through holistic approaches considering multiple dimensions. Her research group STRIPE brings together scholars interested in infrastructure's political and ecological dimensions, conducting interdisciplinary research on how climate discourses interact with infrastructure emergence.

Jono Van Belle is a Senior Lecturer and Associate Professor in the Department of Media and Communication Studies at Örebro University's School of Humanities, Education and Social Sciences. She is a postdoctoral researcher on the Digiscreens project, investigating identity and democracy on digital film and TV platforms in Europe, examining distribution, reception, and representation dynamics. Her academic journey includes a joint PhD in Communication and Cinema Studies from Ghent University and Stockholm University, completed in 2019. Before her academic career, Van Belle worked as a reporter for international media companies including Woestijnvis in Belgium and MTV (Viacom), bringing practical media experience to her scholarly work. Van Belle's research interests span multiple interconnected fields: Audience reception studies, particularly historical cinema-going experiences Gender studies and feminist approaches to media analysis Film history, with special expertise in Ingmar Bergman studies Streaming platforms and their impact on media consumption Media policy and regulation in the digital age Memory studies related to media experiences Her recent work shows a clear trajectory toward examining digital platforms' intersection with identity formation and democratic processes. The Digiscreens project represents a significant contribution to understanding how streaming services shape cultural and political landscapes across Europe, while her work on Ingmar Bergman's international reception challenges Eurocentric perspectives in film studies. Van Belle has established herself through publications in reputable journals including Convergence, Journal of Digital Media and Policy, and Historical Journal of Film, Radio and Television. Her 2025 edited volume 'Ingmar Bergman Out of Focus' has been praised for expanding Bergman studies beyond traditional frameworks. As an active academic community member, Van Belle serves as editor for Participations journal and is on ECREA's film studies section management team. She contributes to the Centre for Feminist Social Studies at Örebro University, reflecting her commitment to interdisciplinary and feminist approaches to media research.

• Gustation (Taste)
• +۷ مورد دیگر

Mattias Alenius is a full Professor at the Department of Molecular Biology , Umeå University , Sweden, where he heads an active research group investigating the molecular and cellular bases of olfaction and taste. His laboratory exploits the genetic tractability of Drosophila and the physiological relevance of mouse models to uncover conserved mechanisms that govern sensory neuron specification, ciliary trafficking, and systemic feedback control of sensory perception. Research Focus His team is particularly interested in: Homeostatic control of neuronal activity and how its failure leads to neurodegenerative diseases. Olfactory and gustatory circuits —leveraging the numerically simple and genetically powerful Drosophila system. Hedgehog signaling and its role in ciliary transport of odorant receptors across species. Inter-organ communication , including gut-to-brain signaling that modulates feeding behavior. Epigenetic inheritance , exploring how paternal diet shapes chromatin states and metabolic phenotypes in offspring. Methodologically, the group integrates in vivo genetics, single-cell transcriptomics, live-cell imaging, cryo-EM, and behavioral assays to dissect these processes from molecule to organism. Scientific Output & Trends Across more than two decades, Prof. Alenius has produced a steady stream of high-impact publications in journals such as Nature Communications , Cell Reports , PNAS , Cell , PLoS Biology , and BMC Biology . His recent work (2022-2024) increasingly centers on nutrient sensing and gut-brain taste modulation , while earlier studies laid the groundwork for understanding ciliary dynamics and transcriptional codes specifying olfactory receptor choice. Collectively, the publications reveal a trajectory from developmental specification of sensory neurons to systemic metabolic control, unified by a focus on hedgehog signaling , cilia-mediated processes , and transcriptional/epigenetic mechanisms . Labs & Teams Prof. Alenius leads the Group Mattias Alenius located in rooms 6K and 6L within the hospital area at Umeå University. The group participates in the university’s Department of Molecular Biology and collaborates extensively across neuroscience and metabolism communities both nationally and internationally.
