The rubber hand illusion experiment manipulates body perception by making people feel that a fake hand is their own. A standard questionnaire assesses this illusion, with specific statements targeting two aspects: the "referral of touch" (RoT) from the fake hand and the "sense of ownership" (SoO) over it. Despite the questionnaire's popularity, its psychometric properties haven’t been rigorously analyzed, and RoT and SoO items are often used interchangeably in studies.

Ecological modelling
2019-2024
Ecology as a science has lacked a general scientific theory capable of making predictions on ecological phenomena on various levels, but now a candidate for such a theory exists. This is termed the Metabolic Theory of Ecology (MTE) and states that energy use (metabolism) is a central process for all organisms that partly can be predicted from body size and then used to make predictions on ecological processes at the population and community level. However, there is some scepticism towards MTE as a general theory and so far the empirical support for it is mixed. In this project, different predictions of MTE will be studied to test the theory and see if and how it may need to be modified.

Human hairy skin contains a special type of nerve fibers, so-called CT-fibers that respond to slow stroking across the skin, such as a caress.
Oxytocin, a hypothalamic nonapeptide, is released e.g. through light touch, caresses, warm temperature etc. Oxytocin release can be linked to well-being, stress reduction and other health-promoting effects. These anti-stress effects are particularly strong when oxytocin is released in response to low-intensity stimulation of the skin.
In this project, we want to study the relationship between activation of CT-fibers and release/activation of the oxytocin system in response to light touch. Some genetic variations that have previously been linked to touch responses will also be studied.

The marine algae belt is one of the most active primary producing environments in the sea. It harbors a great diversity of animals including sea squirts, ribbon/nick/serpulid and spionid worms as well as ghost shrimps. Globally there exist over 7,000 species with around 250 species from Norway. The knowledge about their taxonomy and dis-tribution is poor. Specimens in museum collections are often quite old and wrongly determined. Many of these taxa include invasive species causing high economic dam-age in aquaculture and ship transportation. This is why we urgently need a field inven-tory to collect species from the Skagerrak up to 70°N i Norway. With morphological and molecular methods, we will determine the species and learn more about their dis-tribution.

This will entail significant future changes in land use, requiring us to also assess the resulting environmental impacts.

The elderly are becoming a bigger share of the population and more older people still have their own teeth. Elderly people who need municipal care are also on the rise and this places demands on nursing staff to have the skills needed to assess and care for the oral health of the elderly. Performing oral care is not an easy task, as it can be perceived as an invasion of privacy. Neglected oral health can also lead to poorer overall health.

Following a government decision, a restoration project to recreate the bird lake began in the late 1980s. Reeds were removed, and forests and shrubs were cleared. The water level increase commenced in 1992 and was completed in 1995.

In nowadays manufacturing industries there is usually a lack of knowledge in decision makers and stakeholders to optimize production and logistics flows considering the shop floor layout. Decision support system through Simulation-Based Multi-Objective Optimization can be a significant approach for production and logistics system improvement. The main benefits are optimized solutions with an increased efficiency of the production, internal logistics and required space on the shop floor layout. Usually at a lower cost than consultancy companies, obtaining just the best optimal solutions and with the possibility of analyzing them without interrupting the system. The application of research with Simulation-based Optimization in manufacturing leads to significant improvements of complex systems as demonstrated in major manufacturing companies working together with universities and research centers.

We investigate genes that cause cancer aggressiveness. We specifically focus on the childhood cancer tumor neuroblastoma, which occurs in the nervous system of young children. Some tumors are more aggressive than others, and the difference is what has happened to the genes in the tumor. If the tumor has lost some of the genes on chromosome 11, the child has a poor prognosis. We test the properties of genes that have been lost, to see if those specific lost properties are something that will benefit the tumor cell. We want to replace those properties through different types of treatments, and in this way kill the tumor cell. We analyze clinical/genetic data and make experiments in cultured cells and in fruit flies.

A project aimed to support older adults with long term health problems.
The challenge in health- and social care of today is to provide care with a holistic ap-proach to meet each individual´s needs. Health care providers tend to spend more time focusing on the health problem per see, rather than focusing on the individual´s situa-tion as a whole. Less attention is often given to psychological and social needs and dialogue with the older adult. Research has shown that many older adults experience loneliness, exclusion and lack of support, especially during times of illness.
