How Immigration Impacts Natives' Wages: Investigating Cross-Country Differences – NaWaCC
France and Germany are two major countries of immigration in Europe. In 2010, foreign-born individuals represented 7.2% and 6.3% of their respective population. Although the economic situation in France and Germany differs a lot, the recent increase in asylum demands and illegal immigration has raised a vivid debate on the strictness of immigration policies in both countries. The economic consequences of immigration, especially for native workers, are at the centre of this debate.
A Sea of Connections: Contextualizing Fisheries in the South Pacific Region – SOCPacific
The South Pacific region represents a unique context in which local communities and their political representatives are increasingly committed to integrated management of marine resources and spaces a
Evolutionary responses of plants to environmental changes through the lens of ecological theories: an experimental test using the model species Arabidopsis thaliana – AraBreed
Understanding the ability of plants to adapt to new, potentially harmful, environments is important for monitoring and managing wild and cultivated biodiversity in a changing world. Local adaptation i
Conversion of olive oil wastes through combined pyrolysis and anaerobic digestion: energy, value added products and eco-fertilizers production – PYRODIGEST
In Mediterranean countries, the olive industry represents a major agricultural sector, generating liquid and solid wastes (cake, stalks and wood residues) with detrimental environmental impacts (salin
Super-resolution microscopy through single-molecule localization at cryogenic temperature – Cryo-PALM
In this project, we propose to adapt single molecule localization microscopy (cryo-PALM) methods for use at cryogenic temperature in order to (i) allow the study of biological samples in their vitrified form, thus optimally preserving their structural integrity, and (ii) open the door to cryogenic temperature correlative optical/electronic microscopy (cryo-CLEM).
Injustice perceptions in the workplace and musculoskeletal disorders: a prospective study of causal associations and underlying mechanisms – FairHealth
The FairHealth project brings together researchers from a variety of social sciences and medical disciplines to create a deeper understanding of the processes by which employees’ perceptions of unfair treatment can lead to musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) over time. The objective of FairHealth is to study the time course of unhealthy reactions to perceived injustice, and to produce new and actionable knowledge about whether, why and when injustice at work influences employees’ physical health.
Interplay between cell polarity, shape and mechanics controlling the embryonic cleavage pattern – MorCell
Following fertilization embryos follow a predictable pattern of early cleavage divisions that are often conserved within certain classes of animals (Wilson, 1900). A central unresolved question in the
Identification of functional microRNA/mRNA complexes in the mouse brain: From neurogenesis to behavior and pathology – MicroRNAct
microRNAs (miRNAs) are key regulators of brain development and function, controlling processes like neural stem cell determination, proliferation, migration and integration. Moreover, synapse stabilit
Elucidating the multifaceted functions of protein acetyltransferases in plant stress response and regulation of metabolism. – KatNat
The overarching aim of the KatNat project is to provide a mechanistic understanding of protein acetylation in plants, with a particular focus on investigating the enzymes that catalyze this modification (Nt- and K-acetyltransferases) and the resultant effects on proteostasis, photosynthesis, and metabolism.
