Kyrgyz is a bridge language in terms of historical-comparative linguistics, the geographical territory of which is located between different groups of Turkic languages on the one side, and Turkic and Mongolian languages on the other. From the perspective of Turkic-Mongolian linguistic contacts, the Kyrgyz language is unique in that it has not only simple vocabulary transfers represented by lexical borrowings which in varying degrees can be seen in other Turkic languages, but it also shows influences from a Mongolian substrate. This substrate influence, usually defined with the terms “interference” or “imposition”, reveals itself not only in the phonological, morphological and syntactic levels of Kyrgyz but also in regional borrowings, something that is rarely the case in other Turkic languages. The question of the influence of Turkic-Mongolian language contacts on the formation of these two language groups has already been discussed in relevant linguistic and historical studies. However, the subject of borrowings and/or Mongolian-based contact-induced change in Kyrgyz has never been studied in detail, even though the existence of large-scale Mongolian influence on Kyrgyz vocabulary has sometimes been commented upon in certain studies. The project aims to determine the degree and depth of influence of the Mongolian languages on the formation of Kyrgyz owing to the age-long, intense linguistic contact among the Turkic- and Mongolian-speaking tribes that eventually formed the basis of Kyrgyz ethnicity. The project seeks to expand our knowledge about the nature, scope, and mechanisms of linguistic contacts in general and of Turkic and Mongolian languages in particular. These aims will be achieved by studying not only borrowings but also those features in Kyrgyz that appeared through the influence of the Mongolian substrate. The research will be mainly based on the comparative-historical, comparative-typological and etymological methods of linguistic analysis.

We outline a 5 year programme that introduces a new platform for the preparation, understanding, and exploitation of precisely defined nano-molecules / materials based upon the assembly of molecular metal oxide precursors (polyoxometalates) under non-equilibrium conditions with well-defined physical properties using automated intelligent feedback. We will elucidate the mechanism of assembly of these gigantic molecules and devise a set of rules similar to the magic numbers found in gold nanoclusters, using these to break the 10 nm size barrier for a single molecule. Targeted properties include photochemical and electrochemical sensors, bistable molecules, doped traditional oxides with polyoxometalates, and new catalysts including water oxidation via a Universal Building Block (UBB) approach that links properties of the building blocks with emergent properties of the resulting clusters and materials for the first time. The new approach includes the conversion of batch to flow synthesis not only for automation, but to understand fundamental mechanistic aspects, and to use artificial intelligence algorithms to help move through the myriad of possible combinations (without needing to synthesise every possible molecule). The SMART-POM approach is therefore not merely automation of one-pot chemistry, but an entirely new paradigm building on our recent developments and will allow us to move through a vast combinatorial space effectively only locating areas of novelty via feedback control. This feedback will be used to discover, design, and develop complex, adaptive and functional metal oxide-based materials based upon sensory feedback from the physical properties measurements. Thus SMART-POM will open up a whole new synthetic space, give mechanistic understanding, and allow the discovery of molecules with potential real-world applications. Finally, we will aim to extend the SMART-POM paradigm to other areas of chemistry which will benefit from the search for novelty.

The planetary problem consists in determining the motions of n planets, interacting among themselves and with a sun, via gravity only. Its deep comprehension has relevant consequences in Mathematics, Physics, Astronomy and Astrophysics. The problem is by its nature perturbative, being well approximated by the much easier (and in fact exactly solved since the XVII century) problem where each planet interacts only with the sun. However, when the mutual interactions among planets are taken into account, the dynamics of the system is much richer and, up to nowadays, essentially unsolved. Stable and unstable motions coexist as well. In general, perturbation theory allows to describe qualitative aspects of the motion, but it does not apply directly to the problem, because of its deep degeneracies. During my PhD, I obtained important results on the stability of the problem, based on a new symplectic description, that allowed me to write, for the first time, in the framework of close to be integrable systems, the Hamilton equations governing the dynamics of the problem, made free of its integral of motions, and degeneracies related. By such results, I was an invited speaker to the ICM of 2014, in Seoul. The goal of this research is to use such recent tools, develop techniques, ideas and wide collaborations, also by means of the creation of post-doc positions, assistant professorships (non-tenure track), workshops and advanced schools, in order to find results concerning the long-time stability of the problem, as well as unstable or diffusive motions.

This project will examine whether deficient emotion regulation (ER) in response to interpersonal events is a vulnerability factor for MDD First, we will examine whether, compared to controls, at-risk individuals (a) respond to criticism with higher negative affect (NA), greater activation in brain areas related to NA, and less activation in brain areas related to ER, and (b) respond to praise with lower positive affect (PA) and less activation in brain areas related to experiencing pleasure. Second, using experience sampling methods (ESM), we will examine whether, compared to controls, at-risk individuals (a) respond to negative interpersonal events with higher NA and deficient ER strategies, and (b) respond to positive interpersonal events with lower PA and deficient ER strategies. Then, we will examine whether neural activation in response to interpersonal stimuli in the lab predicts affective responses to everyday interpersonal experiences. Finally, gender differences will be assessed. The sample will include 50 children of mothers with a history of MDD and a control group of 50 children of never-disordered mothers. In the first lab visit participants will complete a diagnostic interview. In the second lab visit participants will complete questionnaires assessing depression and ER strategies, an fMRI scan while listening to a recording of critical remark and praising remarks from one’s mother. Finally, they will receive training in the computerized experience-sampling diary. The diary electronic device will prompt participants 4 times a day for 14 days and will assess daily positive and negative interpersonal events, mood, and ER strategies. The examination of deficient ER in response to interpersonal events as a vulnerability factor for depression development is innovative and important. The combination of neuroimaging with ESM is a unique opportunity to translate lab findings to everyday life.

Inexpensive, renewable energy storage is vital for the future of humanity. Generating H2 via water splitting in proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolysis is a promising route for renewable fuel production. Wide-spread use of PEM electrolysis is limited by the high cost of the electrocatalysts which are composed of rare-earth metals such as Ir, Ru, and Pt (the catalysts being ~40% of the fabrication cost of PEM cells). Renewable Energy through New Electrolysis catalysts for Water splitting (RENEW) aims to develop, characterize, and mechanistically understand water oxidation catalysts (WOCatalysts) based on earth-abundant metals embedded in planar and nanostructured electrodes to replace rare-earth metals in PEM electrolysis. The specific goals of RENEW are (i) fabricate planar electrode/catalysts composed earth abundant metals such as Co, Fe, and Ni and based on recent advances in stabilizing these catalyts; (ii) determine the intrinsic activity, electrocatalytic current density, and lifetime of the electrode/catalyst assemblies; (iii) develop an understanding of the relationship between the electrode substrate and the stability and activity of the WOCatalysts; and (iv) fabricate nano-structured catalyst/electrode assemblies based on the most promising results of specific goals i-iii. The results of this project have the potential to greatly reduce the cost of H2 generated from renewable energy sources such as solar, wind, or geothermal and thereby transform the European and global energy sectors, which aligns with the Horizon 2020 work programme of “Secure, Clean and Efficient Energy”. Throughout this project I will learn new techniques relevant to industrial catalysis, develop my skills as an independent researcher and mentor, and expand my network to include international collaborations and relationships as I transition to an established researcher.

Based at the Center for Multilingualism in Society across the Lifespan (MultiLing) at the University of Oslo, this project will undertake a critical sociolinguistic ethnography by way of a new innovative approach - rhythmanalysis - to explore the temporal dimensions of migrant adaptation processes. Five Russian-speaking multilingual families will partake in the study, which adopts a participatory research approach. The research starts by framing migration as a time prone to social arrhythmia – a disruption to the familiar, predictable, and secure – and proposes that integration practices such as language learning and acculturation are in fact sites of conflicting rhythms and temporalities. As such, the project incorporates several layers of inquiry to understand rhythmic relations at individual, interactional, and societal levels, and how these interact. Moreover, it aims to comprehend how temporal perception correlates with meaning-making practices. If mobility can lead to new temporal experiences, then narrative and discourse become key symbolic modes for making sense of this experience. Integration – or more inclusively, adaptation – is thus conceived as an embodied, temporal, rhythmic process of habit transformation, with ‘breaks’ in the flow of an event serving as a window into processes of change. The project also explores the prominence of past and future in migrant lives, as decision-making becomes more conscious, and new versions of heritage take shape. The ultimate goals of this research are to produce a novel theoretical framework for exploring issues of integration, identification, and belonging in a sociolinguistics of mobility, or superdiversity. In understanding how adaptation occurs, families and communities can be equipped with practical strategies to deal with the novelties experienced during migration, and to find a renewed sense of eurythmia, or flow. The research aligns with H2020’s goals for ‘inclusive, innovative and reflective societies’.

Rapid and sensitive analyte determination in small volumes is one of the main tasks in modern diagnostics for the development of miniaturized in vitro test systems. This is critically important for both health and environmental diagnostics. The traditional approach (ELISA) is a time-consuming multistep process with sensitivity limitations due to usually used planar supports for detection. In this project we intend to develop a new approach for biosensing based on porous antibody microparticles. For this purpose, the combination of a new technique to assemble porous particles at mild conditions (host know-how) and highly sensitive ELISA-based detection system (applicant know-how) will be used. The porous particles will work as a platform with two crucial features: i) specific immunochemical reactions are realized on highly developed particle surface, ii) separation and detection in small volumes (micrometer dimensions). We believe that the proposed approach may open new avenues in future for effective diagnostics.

Next-generation sequencing (NGS) has revolutionized genomic research by drastically decreasing the cost of sequencing and increasing the throughput of generated data, but still has not been able to reach its implementation in clinical diagnostic laboratories where there is a huge potential market application for it. The current market gold-standard in clinical diagnostic (i.e. Sanger-based sequencing) is outdated, much less efficient and more expensive than NGS, but no current market solutions have yet been able to properly address the complexity involved in transferring and validating gold-standard procedures to NGS platforms in clinical environment. In fact, current competing solutions are disruptive, complex, non-efficient and non-validated to address the challenges of transferring NGS to clinics. The easierNGS business concept aims to create and offer an innovative package of services and products which combined will allow a fast, cost-effective, streamlined and certified full sample-to-result solution to clinical laboratories that wish to seize the tremendous benefits of the new NGS era. Towards this objective, a feasibility assessment of the easierNGS business concept will be conducted to better determine its technical, economic and legal viability, as well as plan its most appropriate operational and scheduling strategy. Three case studies (i.e. NGS panels for pharmacogenomics, neonatal screening and infertility risk factors) will be used to generate a proof-of-concept of the easierNGS and help define the technical aspects and guidelines for future easierNGS packages and support a conscientious “Go/No go” decision towards a real market assessment.

How do early modern states organize effective rule in difficult conditions? EMStaD YEMEN focuses on a country that due to its geographical, religious and social complexities is now considered a failed state – Yemen. The project analyzes how this state achieved stability in the early modern period in the conditions that were similar to those hampering its contemporary development. Scholarship on early modern Islamic history usually focuses on the great Islamic empires, like the Ottoman Empire, while the regions conquered by them, notably the Arab lands, are often viewed through the lens of ‘decline’. EMStaD YEMEN challenges this approach by bringing attention to Yemen as a unique case of an Arab state gaining independence from the Ottoman Empire. Combining understudied Ottoman Turkish and Classical Arabic manuscript sources with the method of comparative study of empires, the project focuses on the influence of the period of Ottoman rule (1535-1638) on the development of the state in Yemen. The project first identifies the innovations in administrative practices, document production, and public ceremonies that were introduced by the Ottoman administration. It then traces the afterlives of these developments during the post-Ottoman period of Yemen’s history. The goal of the project is twofold: (1) to explain how, despite the divisions that supposedly turned modern Yemen into a failed state, a stable political system existed in the region during in the early modern period; and (2) to bring Yemen into the broader context of early modern state transformations in Eurasia. The results of the project will be disseminated through publications for specialists and through an exhibition and blog posts for the general public. The longstanding tradition of Middle Eastern studies, regional expertise and wide variety of ongoing collaborative projects on the comparative study of empires make Leiden University and its Institute for Area Studies the ideal setting for this project.
