Daniel Lindqvist Our research The overreaching hypothesis that frames our work is that depressive disorders are accompanied by, if not caused by, identifiable biological abnormalities that contribute to both the psychological and somatic aspects of these illnesses. This is a comprehensive hypothesis involving the study of several biomarkers, including (but not limited to) cellular stress, inflamma

Carys Egan-Wyer Our research My research critically explores how people consume endurance experiences—such as triathlon, obstacle adventure racing, and ultra-distance running—and what those consumption patterns can tell us about contemporary society. The findings question the idea that endurance experiences are an escape from the demands of everyday life. Instead, it shows that social (especially

Tomas Deierborg Our research Physical activity is linked with a reduced risk of somatic disorders. Interestingly, exercise also affects the inflammatory status in the body. We study how physical activity affects the molecular processes involved in different brain disorders. Our exercise research ranges from experimental animal studies to epidemiological studies on the Swedish population. By modeli

Tina Mattsson Our research This research concerns how elements of sports and physical activities, as part of institutional addiction treatment, support normative ideas about gender, age, and body. Using theoretical concepts such as functionality, body normativity, and the normative, I explore how institutional staff reason about physical activities in relation to different client groups.

Thus, by exploring how urban public spaces and spaces of mobility can be transformed and redeveloped for people and not for cars, peoples’ physical activities can increase by moving through urban spaces as pedestrians or cyclists.

Biofuels are one of the many different types of products that can be made in biorefineries. There is a great need for society to decrease our reliance on fossil fuels (from, for example, coal or natural gas) in order to reduce the quantity of carbon dioxide emitted into the atmosphere, and the use of biofuels is one opportunity to do so. Producing biofuels can be the main process of a biorefinery,

A refinery is a factory where raw materials are transformed into useable products such as chemicals. Biorefineries perform the same role, but with biological raw material (biomass) such as plants or microorganisms instead of traditional chemicals. Biomass is a renewable source of raw material, as we can always grow more, unlike commonly used fossil fuels. In order to use biomass, the chemical reac
