Digital devices and portable media platforms have become integral parts of people's lives, causing an increase in online activities and an inclination for simultaneous consumption of different media (known as media multitasking, a.k.a MMT). Extant research suggested that MMT causes cognitive strain and emotions and influences an individual’s information processing abilities, likely influencing one’s online social behavior (OSB) (pro and antisocial). Project MULTIPLE examines how multiple dimensions (task hierarchy, emotional content of the task, and time pressure) of MMT activities may influence emerging adults' engagement in OSB. It aims to determine how changes in task hierarchy and the emotional content of the tasks affect individuals’ engagement in OSB. Whether the inclusion of time pressure in the interaction of task hierarchy and the emotional content influences individuals’ engagement in OSB. Other goals are to identify the underlying mechanisms (i.e., mediators, e.g., frustration, cognitive load) and moderators (e.g., tendency to express online, impulsivity) to understand the said relationship. The methodology integrates eye movement tracking, controlled computer-based laboratory experiments, and questionnaires. The IRTIS Dept. at the MU leads in the media and cyber-related studies and will help the researcher with the team’s state-of-the-art infrastructure. The project will create a cross-discipline theoretical framework (information and communication, cognition and media) and help generate guidelines for improving the work environment in organizations where MMT is prevalent.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the major cause of dementia. The disease has an escalating impact on public health due to an increasing prevalence among the aging population in Europe and globally. In light of the first disease-modifying therapies becoming available, early diagnosis and precise disease staging are crucial for timely implementation of the treatment strategy. In TAMBO-AD, I will build on my preliminary findings to leverage AD biomarker potential of tau simultaneously phosphorylated at two distinct sites. By combining my expertise in immunoassay development with the top technology available at the host institution, I will develop three novel Single Molecule Array (Simoa®) assays targeting p-tau217&231, p-tau205&217, and p-tau205&231. Through cerebrospinal fluid and plasma measurements in the Amsterdam Dementia Cohort, I will evaluate performance of all three p-tau forms as: 1) early diagnostic and 2) disease-staging biomarkers. For the best-performing plasma biomarkers, I will translate Simoa® assays into innovative fiber optic nanogold-linked immunosorbent assay format (FONLISA), which enables point-of-care testing. New point-of-care testing assays will maximize biomarker testing accessibility, enabling use in primary care centers and in remote or resource-limited areas. Finally, I will communicate the project and disseminate results in English and Polish during an intersectoral secondment at the patient organization — Alzheimer Europe. The TAMBO-AD project represents a pivotal opportunity to advance my research, grow professional network, and gradually become an independent researcher.

The demise of Neandertals and the peopling of Europe by anatomically modern humans (AMH) occurred, geologically speaking, in the blink of an eye. While we know that Neandertals and AMH interbred, how and where this interaction occurred remains unresolved. Now that humans can be fingerprinted from the aDNA they left behind in sediments, high-resolution site formation studies are essential to establish microstratigraphic integrity and to reconstruct the human past at finer scales. MATRIX will zoom into the sedimentary matrix at an unprecedented resolution using aDNA, but also proteins and lipids stored in archaeological sediments, in order to: 1) find the identity of past hominins in well-preserved micro-contexts, 2) reconstruct both their behaviors (diet, use of fire) and environments they lived in, and 3) contribute to rewriting what happened at the time of Neandertal disappearance by integrating high-resolution molecular and microscopic records. We will focus on seven selected sites distributed throughout Europe and with established aDNA preservation. We will assess the microstratigraphy of deposits from ~50 to 40,000 years BP by studying intact archaeological samples in 2D and 3D micromorphological views. We will obtain aDNA data at a micro-scale, and couple it with bone proteins and lipids from organic-rich sediment samples, all extracted from intact micromorphological samples. The project aims to achieve, for the first time, an integration of biological, behavioral, and environmental information of archaeological deposits at a mm- and sub-mm stratigraphic scale. Pioneering the application of microarchaeological techniques linked with contextualized molecular data, while setting a rigorous basis for their interpretation, MATRIX will greatly improve our understanding of the migration of AMH into Eurasia and, eventually, to our inhabiting of the entire world.

Over recent years, the novel concept of the 15-minute city is gaining traction across Europe and beyond due to the numerous benefits that it can yield for local communities. Although it builds upon previous urban planning movements and ideas, repackaging them has contributed to extra attention when re-inventing the desired neighbourhood structure at this time of global resource constraints, climate change, vulnerable settlements, pandemics, and social exclusion. The concept promotes a proximity-based approach in neighbourhoods planning and design by which accessing daily needs for locals is guaranteed in a 15-minute walk/bicycle ride of their home. While the fundamentals of the concepts are promising, a prescriptive nature, like its previous counterparts, does not allow for understanding how popular it is for people and replicable across various contexts. In fact, much less is known about the applicability of this new approach with regard to diverse contexts and clients. The present research project will thus shed light on exploring the way people perceive this novel planning and design approach in various urban contexts worldwide. This research follows a case-study design, with an in-depth analysis of public perception, that is based on a combination of qualitative and quantitative methods. The empirical study on context-sensitivity is conducted using predefined developed and developing cities represented by Brussels and Tehran, respectively. These findings contribute in several ways to our understanding of the 15-minute city concept and provide a basis for future applications, having multiple scientific, social, and environmental impacts on global communities in long term.

Immediate and prolonged Skin-to-skin care (SSC) has been proven to significantly improve outcomes for preterm infants and their parents. However, complying with the updated clinical guidelines, requiring starting within the first 24 hours and performing the intervention for at least eight hours each day (WHO, 2023) is challenging for most preterm parents and neonatal units. To overcome these challenges Skincubator Neocare is developing innovative solutions to enhance the connection between preterm infants and their parents in both the delivery room and the NICU. For the technical and clinical barriers, Skincubator, a wearable incubator, has been developed, allowing for full SSC while maintaining the environmental control a traditional incubator provides, improves visibility and safety of the infant and the lines and tubes it is connected to. For the cultural, behavioral, and emotional barriers, a Skin-to-Skin Care Management Platform, has been developed. The Platform creates a personalized behavioral health plan by identifying the unique barriers each family faces, creates a custom intervention plan for the family, supports them throughout their care journey, streamlines communication with the NICU team, provides educational and emotional support content, and enables accurate management of the intervention. During the project, the company plans to collect data to show clinical and financial efficacy of the core product in diverse European settings, benchmark data for future product developments, and to test additional features and use cases in the existing solution. Next steps include running clinical trials internationally and completing regulatory activities required for commercial work in the US and EU. On completion of the R&D activities, Skincubator’s goal is to scale up distribution of its solution internationally and penetrate the market successfully.

This project proposes a comprehensive multi-disciplinary study of a Roman provincial capital in the period of the transition from Late Antiquity to the Middle Ages. It is based on a case study of three of the most richly-documented provincial capitals, Antinoopolis, Ravenna and Petra, but encompasses similar provincial centers across the Mediterranean world and beyond in order to build a model of the administration of justice and enforcement of law in Late Antiquity. This topic is closely linked to communication between the provincial capitals and the imperial court in Constantinople and will shed light on the dynamics of the transmission of laws. It also contributes to the understanding of the shared legal culture of Late Antique provincial capitals, a major factor in the successful administration of provinces. The model of provincial government will be based on the formal juridical, legislative and executive powers of the governor, his official staff, and the city council, and an elucidation of their capacity to carry out their functions successfully in the context of new social and cultural realities. Furthermore, it will provide insight into the dynamics of power between the central administrative apparatus, the city apparatus, and prominent landowners, religious institutions and clergy, and the villages. The study focuses on the period between the 5th and 7th c., when it became increasingly challenging for governors and other officials to exercise the powers conferred upon them by the emperors. This was a pervasive phenomenon across the entire Empire, resulting from the emergence of a new landowning class who possessed economic and military capabilities that far exceeded those of their predecessors. Moreover, there were persistent incursions from nomadic groups in the south, as well as a prolonged conflict with the Persian Empire. The project offers a multi-disciplinary and ground-breaking approach to the government of Empire and its legal culture.

Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a lethal cancer with rising global incidence and poor survival rates. Early PDAC diagnosis is hampered by non-specific symptoms and by the absence of reliable early biomarkers. On the other hand, intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMNs), precursor lesions of PDAC, are commonly found during abdominal imaging. IPMN management lacks consensus, leading to inefficient decisions decisions on empirical assessments of high-risk stigmata (HRS) and worrisome features (WF). There is an urgent need for precise IPMN patient classification to guide personalized treatment decisions, reducing unnecessary surgeries and late interventions. Our ERC-StG project identified a gene signature marking pre-neoplastic cells in PDAC precursor lesions. We propose testing this signature as a biomarker for PDAC in IPMN patients, to distinguish those at high-risk or low-risk of progressing to invasive carcinoma. Successful validation of the signature as a biomarker holds benefit clinical management of IPMN patients, mitigating the economic and societal consequences of over-treatment and under-treatment. At the same time, these activities should advance early detection in pancreatic cancer. Our multidisciplinary approach and groundbreaking discoveries put us in the best position to tackle this key challenge in immuno-oncology.

Seafood is a critical component of human diets and the most widely traded food group. Marine fish and invertebrates are increasingly affected by climate change. Global seafood trade could buffer the impacts of climate change by allowing for increased imports. However, global seafood trade could also double the burden for vulnerable countries by decreasing import access. Especially countries that rely on seafood for food security are potentially at risk. This project aims to investigate which nations experience worse or alleviated nutrient shortages due to global seafood trade when the supply of these foods is impacted by climate change. Moreover, this action aims to investigate local mediating factors that, together with markets, may shape food security outcomes. Such local mediating factors include governance and available pathways for switching between markets and food sources. To achieve these aims, this action will use state-of-the-art statistical methods to analyse global panel data spanning two decades of trade data in marine species and more than 3000 detailed household surveys from more than 100 villages in Indonesia. A systematic review and meta-analysis will complement by providing an overview of the current evidence base regarding the impact of global seafood trade on nutrition. The different resolutions of these large data sets allow this action to tackle this important topic from various scales, ranging from local to global. This action will contribute towards enhanced social-ecological integration, the study of food security and sustainability in a globalised world, and facilitate the interdisciplinary career development of a researcher moving from a Natural Sciences Department (University of Iceland) to a Department of Environmental Social Sciences (ENR, WUR, Netherlands). This action will advance cross-sectoral (academic and non-academic) knowledge exchange on the important topic of nutrition from seafood in a rapidly changing world.
