New technologies, ageing and care
RG studies older adults’ use of digital technologies and services as well as the digitalization of care work. Research work is carried out in several interconnected projects and in close collaboration with national and international partners. RG belongs to JYU’s Centre of Excellence in Research on Ageing and Care (CoE AgeCare).
Medical Chemistry Group
The Medical Chemistry Group is focused on medicinal and bioinorganic chemistry, mainly related to peptides and proteins. In general, projects on the interaction of biologically important macromolecules with other molecules or metal ions are underway. Two National Science Centre grants are being realized by group members. One of them is about hot topic – SARS-Cov2/virus protein interaction with human receptor. The second is about interaction of iron ions with small heat shock protein, which is involved in ferroptosis (programmed cell death dependent on iron). Cooperation includes research centers in Poland and abroad, e.g. University of Wroclaw and USA, but also other faculties of University…
Morphology and Molecules in Animal Systematics
Our studies concentrate mainly on solving the problems of the phylogenetic relationships among insects at various taxonomic levels in Hemiptera and Lepidoptera using morphological and molecular characters. A prediction of the secondary structures of mitochondrial and nuclear ribosomal DNA sequences is also used in the phylogenetic analyses. Next year, our team will get another science lab (the Bioinformatic Methods of Agrocenoses Analysis Laboratory) in a new building of the University of Opole. The laboratory equipment will broaden our interest in molecular genetic studies of non-model organisms, i.e., insect crop-pests and invasive species. Moreover, it will also allow starting the resear…
Meaning and Form of Games (Part of Centre of Excellence GameCULT)
GameCult research group studies the questions related to understanding the key processes and characteristics of meaning making and cultural agency in games and play, and to the four more focused sub-themes: meaning and form of games, creation of games, players of games, and societal frames of games.
Interdisciplinary Carnot Laboratory of Burgundy (ICB)
Involving about 300 people, in the fields of physics, chemistry-physics as well as materials engineering associated with mechanical engineering, the ICB laboratory embodies at the best level the research ambitions of the CNRS in Burgundy Franche-Comté (BFC), of the University of Burgundy, of the University of Technology of Belfort Montbéliard and, through these universities, of the University Burgundy Franche-Comté (UBFC) federation. The main scientific orientations of the laboratory are carried out by 6 departments (quantum interactions and control; photonics; nanoscience; mechanical design, optimization and modelling; metallurgical processes and materials durability; interfaces) and 4 tec…
Next generation water-smart management systems: large scale demonstrations for a circular economy and society
Water security is among the most crucial challenges for water management today. As a consequence, innovative water management solutions and alternative water resources are required. The EU-funded WATER-MINING project will exhibit and validate innovative next-generation water resource solutions at the pre-commercial demonstration-scale in accordance with relevant legislation, such as the Water Framework Directive, Circular Economy and EU Green Deal packages. It will combine water management services with the improvement of renewable resources such as mining water. It is envisaged that the value-added end products will offer supplies of regional resources to increase economic growth. The proj…
Digital contents and communication flows
MEDIAFLOWS is focused on the analysis of the changes and mutations caused by the process of digitization in the content and structures of media and in the public. The group's origin is the activity of most of its researchers since 2007, within the framework of the "Valencian Digital Media Analysis Group" (since 2007), which has resulted in the achievement of three R&D projects (financed by the Generalitat Valenciana and the University of Valencia) and an annual conference (Digital Communication Congress in the Valencian Community) that began to be held in 2009. As a result of all this, five monographs and a large number of partial publications in congresses, journals and book chapters have …
Woman entrepreneur and social entrepreneurship
The scope of MEYES is women entrepreneurship and social entrepreneurship. In the 1980s, the first studies on women entrepreneurs emerged, highlighting the differences between female and male entrepreneurs: business characteristics, motivations for engaging in entrepreneurial activities, assessment of the main obstacles in starting and developing a business, personal traits, management styles, or chosen industry sectors. These differences justify studying women entrepreneurs independently from conventional or standard business theory, which compares female entrepreneurs to their male counterparts. In this sense, the use of male values, ways of thinking, and acting in the analysis of female e…
English Studies: Text, Discourse, Corpus, Media, Culture
Text, Discourse, Corpus, Media, Culture is a group of researchers collaborating on common projects and publications within linguistics, cultural studies and media studies, often adopting a critical perspective, who focus on studying: - media representations of social phenomena and social groups - constructions of identities and interactions in and through discourse - legitimization and argumentation and their cultural constraints - humour in discourse, media and culture - intercultural communication and conflict - discourses of and on gendered and migrant social actors - cognitive constructs and culture/language-specific conceptualizations - professional discursive practices in journalism a…
