In recent years, we have been witnessing a move to algorithmic management, in which supervisory tasks—instructing workers; appraising their performance; and determining their compensation—are being delegated to software applications. Current understanding of such effects is limited, however, as most research on algorithmic management focuses on gig-economy platforms in which traditional supervisory relationships are absent. The proposed research thus aims to explore: How does the introduction of algorithmic management in traditional organizations—in which algorithms operate alongside rather than instead of a human boss—shape human supervisory relationships and practices? To achieve this objective, I will undertake four subprojects, grounded in an empirical, in-depth qualitative approach. Subproject 1 will develop a theory to describe how the introduction of algorithmic management changes supervisory dynamics in traditional organizations. I will collaborate with five organizations spanning different industries and observe workers and supervisors to uncover their experiences of supervisory relationships. Subproject 2 will provide an articulated account of how algorithmic management changes managerial roles and practices, through interviews with a large sample of managers that implement algorithmic management. Subproject 3 will reveal how workers respond to conflicting directions from humans and algorithms. In this study, workers will participate in simulations of actual workplace dilemmas, created using immersive VR technology. Subproject 4 will address the mitigation of detrimental outcomes of algorithmic management through ethnographic action research. The proposed research will provide ground-breaking insights regarding the emerging yet unexplored phenomenon of algorithmic management in traditional organizations, and it will enable practitioners to effectively and ethically update managerial practices for the age of AI oversight.

CLIMOS aims to assist mitigation of climate- and climate change-induced emergence, transmission and spread of vector-borne and zoonotic pathogens based on Eco-health and One Health approaches. This will be achieved by quantifying climate and environmental-related drivers of sand fly vector populations and the sand fly-borne diseases (SFBDs) across Europe. The project will provide an Early Warning System (EWS) and decision support frameworks for more accurate climate and health modelling, prognosis of infection risk and range expansions, and adaptation options. Socio-economic analysis and risk assessments will inform decision support providing social and cost-benefit evaluations. Towards these goals, an open access interactive CLIMOS online platform will be developed containing data on vector and SFBD species geography and up-to-date monitoring, climate, environment, and mathematical algorithms. The accompanying educational platform will enable evidence-based mitigation decision-making by social, environmental and financial stakeholders, public bodies and policy makers. CLIMOS will generate science-based predictions, actions and policy-relevant recommendations to mitigate climate change-induced emergence and spread of SFBDs, by providing: precision vector and infection surveillance methods and networks across 14 countries; creation of big data time series (on vectors, disease, micro and macroclimate, environment and health, and on infection risk) to be available also for use at the EU Climate and Health Observatory, and as European Commission ISA JoinUP open-source tool for public and healthcare; new interoperability data ontologies (Open Biological and Biomedical Ontology [OBO] and Open Geospatial Consortium [OGC] for SFBDs and climate); new innovative technical solutions for vector monitoring (new trapping solution and EWS components); and at least 30 peer-reviewed open access publications, 3 policy reports, and diversity of public engagement materials. Project CLIMOS is part of the European cluster on climate change and health.

Oral diseases and conditions are the 3rd most expensive diseases to treat in the EU. They affect about half of the EU population. As highlighted in the 2021 WHO Oral Health Resolution, there are major challenges in the financing of oral health care: in deviation from the UN and WHO goal of Universal Health Coverage, many EU citizens do not have access to essential oral health care without financial hardship. This causes detrimental impacts for the individual citizen, while increasing costs and wasting resources on the macro level. Research-policy gaps and research-practice gaps keep triggering inertia and inaction instead of addressing the persistent, albeit largely preventable, burden of oral diseases. To this end, the PRUDENT (Prioritization, incentives and Resource use for sUstainable DENTistry) project aims to develop and implement an innovative and context-adaptive framework for optimized financing of oral care. PRUDENT brings together top investigators from prestigious universities, public authorities and policymakers, civil society and patient organizations, health insurers, and health professionals, to achieve a step change in collective problem solving. Given the comprehensiveness of the topic, PRUDENT uses a targeted approach that is entirely focused on four major root-causes underlying the current limitations of oral care financing. Using a mixed-methods research approach, PRUDENT will: (i) co-develop oral health system performance indicators and implement them in EU-wide monitoring framework; (ii) conduct real-world and lab experiments to identify improved oral care financing mechanisms; (iii) leverage regulatory learning, needs-adaptive resource planning and deliberative priority setting to enhance the improvement of oral care financing. The knowledge gained will be merged into the PRUDENT Financing Companion with policy briefs and decision aid tools for concretely actionable and context-adaptive improvement of oral care financing.

WOmen-PRO explores the life course of women in pre-pharaonic Egypt and Nubia, during the transition to complex society. Despite the volume of Predynastic research, women have been noticeably less investigated than men for this period. Therefore, WOmen-PRO's goal is to tackle the research gap on gender in the field, by investigating how this transitional period shaped the social role, identity and life course of women in the sample compared to men. To do so, I apply a cutting-edge, interdisciplinary biocultural methodology, combining methods such as palaeopathology, the study of entheseal changes, diet in view of dental health, mortuary archaeology and statistics. Analysis draws on osteological and funerary data of ~1500 adult individuals of both sexes from nine key sites in the region. WOmen-PRO’s objectives are: 1. To reconstruct female health status in view of rising social complexity; 2. To investigate aspects of female diet and how it may have changed over time; 3. To identify evidence of female physical activity levels over this transitional period; 4. To identify any correlates between funerary rites and the indicators of embodied life conditions, emerged from overall bioarchaeological analyses. WOmen-PRO will result in: the first collection of comprehensive female bio-social profiles for the early Nile Valley, with a comparative dataset from the male portion of the funerary population; an open source database storing the project’s data; a novel, interdisciplinary, non-destructive methodology to study gender and the life course, also beyond the specific context of the project. The Faculty of Archaeology at ULEI will offer high-quality training in the study of entheseal changes, dental analysis and the management of a bioarchaeology lab, via its director Dr Schrader. Such training will be key to both WOmen-PRO’s success and my career progress. Involvement in ULEI’s research and teaching will guarantee excellence in the two-way knowledge transfer with the host.

This study aims to provide a new understanding of how losses, disposals and dead-ends shape the direction of social change at moments of rupture, and to develop a formal theory of social loss. Sociologists have shown that people respond to crises by reconfiguring cultural understandings, narratives of self and social relationships. However, we have not paid sufficient attention to how what is disposed of shapes future pathways. LINLOSS will address this gap in the sociological imagination. It will develop new explanations of how loss generates change at multiple, intersecting societal scales: in the transformation of cultural and institutional patterns across generations; within changing configurations of relationships across genealogies and social networks; and in the reconstruction of pasts and futures within biographies. The research will be a comparative, cross-national community study of two ‘exurban’ districts in Ireland and Poland. The main form of data collection will be mixed biographical interviews, combining unstructured and formal elements, connected within genealogical support networks. The analysis will take place across two iterations: a comparative analysis to trace the effects of breaks and losses within and between social lineages at multiple scales; and a thematic analysis to identify how instances of loss are tied together by a common social pattern. We live in ‘unsettled times,’ when it is essential that sociologists provide insights on how pathways of social loss and renewal lead to variations and resilience to new challenges, for individuals, families and communities. If successful, the study will make a significant contribution towards this goal. It will deliver a methodological breakthrough in pioneering methods for the analysis of dynamic, multi-scalar social processes and will make a major theoretical contribution to scholarship on social change.

Despite extensive research and numerous therapeutic efforts, addiction remains a chronic condition for many individuals, with relapse rates alarmingly high. Traditional approaches predominantly emphasize cognitive and neural aspects of addiction, often overlooking the crucial interoceptive dimension, the perception of internal bodily states. Even though evidence suggests that physiological states contribute to the development and persistence of addiction, and patients report intense bodily sensations during craving episodes, we still lack tools to measure bodily processes associated with craving, understand their role in addiction risk, and effectively address them in therapy. Through a transdiagnostic and multidisciplinary approach, I will address the interoceptive basis of craving. Work Package 1 involves experimental craving induction and self-administration procedures in non-clinical alcohol and tobacco users to establish how interoceptive processes influence the motivation to consume substances and contribute to escalation in substance use severity. Work Package 2 extends this research to real-world settings using Ecological Momentary Assessment (EMA) in patients diagnosed with alcohol and tobacco use disorder. By integrating real-time data on craving, stress, and interoception into network analyses, I aim to identify interoceptive markers predictive of craving and relapse. Finally, a randomized controlled trial will test the effectiveness of incorporating individualized interoceptive feedback generated from EMA data into cognitive-behavioral therapy. By focusing on the bodily dimension of craving and relief, this approach brings novel perspectives to the aetiology of addictive disorders and can yield breakthrough interoception-based treatments that can improve therapeutic efficacy and reduce relapse rates, addressing what it feels like to be in the body of someone suffering from addiction.

Understanding spoken language requires listeners to map complex acoustic input onto linguistic representations in their mental lexicons. The difficulty of this process is increased by variation in the acoustics of spoken language. In particular, variation in how second-language (L2) speakers produce the sounds of a language (i.e., ‘foreign’ accents) can hinder the efficiency of speech perception. Prior work has indicated that listeners are highly adaptable, and can rapidly accommodate unfamiliar variation in accented speech, but what remains unclear is how listeners rapidly adapt to accented talkers. Many authors have proposed that listeners may “tune” to accented speakers by shifting their phonemic category boundaries (phonemic recalibration). However, attempts to directly link phonemic recalibration to accommodation of natural L2 accents have resulted in mixed outcomes. An alternative perceptual mechanism that has been proposed for accent accommodation is criteria relaxation. On this view, when encountering an unfamiliar accent, listeners relax their thresholds for accepting input as a particular phoneme, lexical item, and so on. Relatedly, listeners may rely less on categorical boundaries when processing L2 accent. The primary aim of the proposed project is to improve our theoretical understanding of the perceptual mechanism(s) that support accent accommodation. In a series of three experiments, we will investigate the roles of phonemic recalibration and criteria relaxation using a combination of behavioral and psychophysiological measures. Specifically, our interdisciplinary approach will examine shifts in phonemic category boundaries and changes to within-category sensitivity, as well as the rate and cognitive demands of lexical activation for accented items. Ultimately, PerMSAA will increase our theoretical understanding of how listeners accommodate L2 accents, which is a skill that can be leveraged to improve overall communication between L1 and L2 speakers.
