Paul Greenlees:

SUPER-HEAVY RESEARCH INTO SUPER-HEAVY NUCLEI Understanding the Structure and Stability of Heavy and SuperHeavy Elements (SHESTRUCT), ERC Starting Grant, 2008–2013, Department of Physics PAUL GREENLEES, Research Professor in Physics, came to the University of Jyväskylä from Liverpool to work as a postdoctoral researcher in 1998. He was awarded an Academy Research Fellow position in the Department of Physics in 2005 and he was a successful candidate for an ERC Starting Grant in 2007. Greenlees’ research team is composed of one postdoctoral researcher and two doctoral students. The research is carried out within a nuclear spectroscopy group of 15 researchers. The research project included the construction of a novel spectrometer to be used in experiments that cannot be performed at other facilities worldwide.“We are expecting to obtain significant results with it,” says Greenlees.

Greenlees’ project aims to further our understanding of the existence of nuclei with a very large number of nucleons (protons and neutrons). Put simply, when the number of protons in a nucleus is increased enough, the nucleus should be ripped apart by the repulsive forces that exist between the charged protons, following the principle that like charges repel. However, the quantum nature of the nucleus means that these repulsive forces can be overcome, and these “super-heavy” nuclei still survive. It is these quantum aspects that Greenlees and his team are seeking to understand better. During the project, the team has co-authored almost twenty publications related to this topic, including a Physical Review Letter that was featured on the website of the American Institute of Physics. In addition, one student has completed his doctoral studies and moved on to a postdoctoral position at TRIUMF in Canada. The team members and international collaborators participating in the experiments of the SHESTRUCT project have presented at numerous international conferences.

Subjectivity and Selfhood in the Arabic and Latin Traditions (SSALT), 2009–2012, Department of History and Ethnology

TANELI KUKKONEN completed his doctoral thesis“Studies in Modality and Cosmology”at the University of Helsinki in 2002. Since then he has received many grants from the Academy of Finland and in 2009 he was awarded an ERC Starting Grant. In his SSALT project, Kukkonen provided a historically accurate and philosophically compelling picture of how conceptions of selfhood and consciousness developed in the history of Western thought from late antiquity to the dawn of the modern age. He investigated the various accounts of selfhood and subjectivity in ancient and medieval philosophy, focusing on the implications for moral and political theory in these competing strands of moral psychology. His intention was to throw light on classical texts in which the Western notions of subjectivity and moral agency were established, while also accounting for the multiple ways in which these notions were transformed in the Middle Ages.

Apart from this combined approach to the two aspects of selfhood (subjective experience and moral agency), SSALT was unique in the breadth of its scope. Kukkonen’s team included experts in late ancient, medieval Arabic, medieval Latin, and early modern philosophy. The team examined a wide range of philosophical texts, medical manuals, as well as theological and spiritual literature to form a comprehensive picture of the ways in which subjectivity and selfhood were understood in the Christian and Islamic cultures of the Middle Ages.

Excellence in Science

UNIV ERSIT Y O F JYV ÄSKY LÄ, FIN LAN D | EXCE LLE N CE IN S CIE N CE

Inverse Problems in Partial Differential Equations and Geometry, 2012–2017, Department of Mathematics and Statistics ACADEMY RESEARCH Fellow and Professor Mikko Salo completed his PhD in Applied Mathematics in 2004. He has received research grants from the Academy of Finland and was given the Academy of Finland Award for Scientific Courage in 2011. The next major step was an ERC Starting Grant in 2012. Salo continued his work at the University of Jyväskylä and chose the Department of Mathematics and Statistics as the host for his ERC grant. The department is well known for its high-quality international research and innovative teaching techniques. Mikko Salo raised the department’s profile by recruiting distinguished postdoctoral researchers from around the world. Inverse problems research concentrates on the mathematical theory and practical interpretation of indirect measurements. Applications are found in virtually every research field involving scientific, medical, or industrial imaging and mathematical modelling. Familiar examples include X-ray computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The method of inverse problems makes it possible to employ important advances in modern mathematics in a vast range of application areas. The applications inspire significant

new mathematical questions and promote close connections with other sciences. This has made inverse problems research one of the most important fields of modern applied mathematics. A major challenge for the project team is Calderón’s problem of inverse conductivity, which forms the basis of electrical impedance tomography (EIT), an imaging modality proposed for early breast cancer detection and non-destructive testing of industrial parts. The geometric version of Calderon’s problem is one of the most significant unsolved questions in the field. It is connected with the recent theory of cloaking devices – structures that would not only make an object invisible but also undetectable to electromagnetic waves. It seems Harry Potter’s invisibility cloak just might become reality one day after all. Salo says that “the five-year grant makes it possible to concentrate on long-term objectives without having to worry about funding for the short term. The possibility to devote more time for research, to recruit people and to invite international experts to Jyväskylä helps the research of the topic vastly”.

Transnational Work and the Evolution of Sovereignty, 2011–2014, Department of Social Sciences and Philosophy NATHAN LILLIE is a lecturer in the Department of Social Sciences and Philosophy. He received a PhD in Industrial Relations from Cornell University, and after that he was a Fellow at the Helsinki Collegium and then an Associate Professor at the University of Groningen, in the Netherlands. He received his ERC Starting Grant in 2011 while working in Groningen, but chose to bring his research group to Finland.

After receiving the ERC grant, the biggest challenge for Lillie was to scale up his work. Lillie leads a team of one postdoctoral researcher and three graduate students.

MIGRATION OF AN ERC GRANTEE

Lillie’s project investigates the growth of posted work in the EU. Posted work means that an employer sends an employee abroad from low-wage EU countries to high-wage ones to work as cheap labour. Posted work is important because, under EU rules, countries do not have full sovereignty over the labour conditions of posted workers in their territory, reinforcing the tendency of EU labour markets to become segmented by nationalities. For example, a Polish construction worker in Germany working for a Polish subcontractor does not have the same rights as a German or Polish worker working for a German contractor because his employment is in many respects regulated from Poland. The study involves interviews with posted workers around Europe.

Department of Physics in FP7 infrastructure projects

ACCORDING to an international scientific evaluation from 2012, the research infrastructure for physics at the University of Jyväskylä is excellent. Furthermore, the activity and quality of the research has also been evaluated to be at a high level. The department’s accelerator laboratory is significant in its field and exists as a unique environment in the Nordic countries as well as internationally. Due to the excellent quality of our research infrastructure, the Department of Physics has been invited to five projects within the FP7 infrastructure. The projects are directed in Jyväskylä by Professor Rauno Julin, Professor Jukka Maalampi and Researcher Heikki Penttilä.

THE PROJECTS INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING: • European Nuclear Science and Applications Research (ENSAR) • Facility for antiproton and ion research (FP4-FAIR)

• Design of a pan-European infrastructure for Large Apparatus studying Grand Unification and Neutrino Astrophysics (LAGUNA) • Design of a pan-European Infrastructure for Large Apparatus studying Grand Unification, Neutrino Astrophysics and Long Baseline Neutrino Oscillations (LAGUNA-LBNO) • European Research Infrastructures for Nuclear Data Applications (ERINDA) The largest of the projects is ENSAR. It aims to provide access for researchers to seven large-scale, world-class facilities. Through ENSAR, nuclear scientists benefit from the diverse range of research infrastructures in Europe, meaning different ion beams and energies can be investigated. The participating universities and institutes strive to make the most efficient use of these facilities and to develop the most advanced and novel equipment. To enhance the access to these facilities in Jyväskylä, the community has defined a number of joint research activities, using promising scientific and technical prospects as the main criterion for participation.

RESEARCH INFRASTRUCTURES: New knowledge depends on the quality and availability of research infrastructures such as observatories, data banks, radiation sources and communication networks. Programmes such as FP7 optimise the use and development of the best research infrastructures in Europe. A main goal is to create new research infrastructures of pan-European interest in all fields of science and technology.

DURING THE FP7 PROGRAMME, the University of Jyväskylä has participated in two Initial Training Networks projects. The SPECIATION project (Understanding the evolutionary origin of biological diversity) was funded in the very first ITN call of the Marie Curie Actions programme. In Jyväskylä, the project was headed by Professor Anneli Hoikkala. The aim was to train nine young scientists to the PhD level in biological disciplines as well as to deepen our understanding of the evolutionary origin of biological diversity. The students were seconded to non-academic institutions that represented endusers of their research as well as potential employers, including commercial laboratories and museums. The project consortium had four network partners and seven additional organisations as associated partners. The Department of Biological and Environmental Science has also participated in another ITN project, Muscle z-disk protein complexes: From atomic structure to physiological function (MUZIC). Professor JariYlänne from Jyväskylä was the principal investigator of the project. The project’s nine partners and two associated partners provided a unique

blend of cellular and structural biology laboratories with a focus on muscle research, all united by the MUZIC network. The project aimed to bridge the gap between cellular and structural biology by training young researchers as cellular structural biologists, a new and versatile research title. In the projects, the students received advanced training as part of their individual research projects as well as through complementary actions that developed their skills in management, communication and teamwork.

INITIAL TRAINING NETWORKS (ITN): offer early-stage researchers an opportunity to improve their research skills for 36 months, join established research teams and enhance their career prospects. At least three participants collaborate to propose a coherent programme for an ITN. The participants can be universities, research centres or companies (large or small).

10 FEWER FALLS, LESS FEAR, GREATER QUALITY OF LIFE: Ubiquitous care system to support independent living (CONFIDENCE), 2008–2011, FP7 ICT, Agora Center

FOR ELDERLY PEOPLE, the fear of falling may account for 40 percent of nursing home admissions. The fear of falling decreases people’s quality of life and increases the risk of becoming unable to perform daily activities. Most of the care systems on the market are limited to detecting falls. The innovation of the system developed in the CONFIDENCE project is that it not only detects falls, but also identifies unexpected short- and long-term behaviour that could indicate health problems and functional decline. The system increases the confidence, independence and quality of life of older people.

COLLABORATIVE PROJECTS: Research projects carried out by consortia with participants from different countries, aiming to develop new knowledge, new technology, products, demonstration activities or common resources for research. The size, scope and internal organisation of projects can vary according to the field and the topic.

For the project, the University of Jyväskylä collaborated with nine European organisations. This multidisciplinary research resulted in a working prototype that integrates technologies for the detection of abnormal events in indoor environments. The end-users were involved in the project and they co-defined specifications, monitored the progress of the project, and performed usability tests with the prototypes. One of the nine work packages was led by Senior Researcher Narciso Gonzalez Vega from Agora Center. The tasks addressed the analysis of the compliance of the system with the end-user needs, as well as psychological and ethical issues. Iteratively, the Agora Center provided end-user needs and requirements analyses as well as specifications. The CONFIDENCE 2010 International Conference was organised in Jyväskylä. Usability and acceptability tests of the working prototypes were other significant contributions of the Agora Center.

WORKING WITH EXILED POPULATIONS, socalled diasporas, from conflict regions in order to improve conditions in their countries of origin is a challenge for policy makers and practitioners. Even if the potential for such cooperation has recently been recognised, there is little practical advice available for those who seek to develop it. Moreover, these engagements and interactions constitute a field of research which has not been studied in depth. Based on studies in the Horn of Africa – one of the key conflict settings in Africa – DIASPEACE has generated policy-relevant, evidence-based knowledge of how diasporas from conflict regions fit into the dynamics of security in their countries of origin. Based on the extensive empirical data collected both from Europe and Africa, the researchers produced a number of journal articles, open access working papers and an edited book. In addition to scientific contributions, the project produced a handbook for policy makers and practitioners that offers

straightforward suggestions for cooperating with transnational communities. The consortium involved six partners from Europe (Finland, Germany, Italy, Norway and the Netherlands) and two from the Horn of Africa (Ethiopia and Somaliland). Consisting of different types of institutions, from universities to non-governmental organisations, it brought together practical experience and cross-disciplinary scientific expertise from the fields of political science, sociology, anthropology, conflict analysis and migration studies. The project was coordinated by Professor Liisa Laakso and Research Coordinator Pekka Virtanen from the Department of Social Sciences and Philosophy at the University of Jyväskylä.

RESEARCH AND SOLUTIONS FOR COMMUNICATION STRATEGIES IN RISK AND CRISIS

PUBLIC SECTOR ORGANISATIONS need to communicate and monitor before, during and after emergencies, but they also seek to empower citizens by enhancing response capabilities. Professor Marita Vos from the Department of Communication has coordinated two FP7 security research projects and participated in a third. These projects generate new knowledge that addresses current gaps in international research as well as provide tools for public organisations. The PEP project investigates how the crisis response capabilities of the public can be enhanced and analyses public empowerment policies to see which are the most successful in realising this aim. Empowering the public to be better prepared for crises is a logical way to strengthen crisis management. Nowadays authorities realise that citizens’ behaviour is vital to crisis preparedness, response and recovery. The CATO project contributes to preparedness for more threatening crises. The project develops a comprehensive toolbox for dealing with crises due to terrorist attacks using non-conventional weapons

on facilities with chemical, biological, radiological or nuclear materials. The project also provides guidelines for communication with citizens. Large-scale accidents and natural disasters such as floods and forest fires, pandemics and terrorist attacks have tested the ability of public authorities in Europe to communicate efficiently with various stakeholder groups. The CrisComScore project created a strategy tool called the Crisis Communication Scorecard for this purpose. The tool offers a framework for evaluating and improving crisis communication, and assists in communication planning. For more information: www.crisiscommunication.fi

FP7 HEALTH 2009–2013, Gerontology Research Center, Department of Health Sciences

RESEARCH ON AGING has a long tradition at the Department of Health Sciences. The Faculty of Sport and Health Sciences is unique in Finland and it has a history of international collaboration in research projects. With 19 different partner organisations, the MYOAGE project is one of the largest collaborative project consortiums among the FP7 research projects at the University of Jyväskylä. Professor Sarianna Sipilä leads the scientific work in MYOAGE. The ageing of skeletal muscle results in a progressive loss of mobility. This decreases the quality of life and has major economic and social consequences for society at large. Age-induced changes in the skeletal muscle include sarcopenia (loss in muscle mass) and weakness (loss in muscle force). In addition, older muscles are more susceptible to damage and consequently regenerate and recover more slowly than in their youth. The project defined the parameters of healthy muscle ageing versus impaired muscle ageing, and provided strategies to combat sarcopenia and promote healthy aging. It investigated muscle tissue from older (over 70 years) individuals with and without muscle

weakness and compared them to tissue from healthy young adults (18 – 30) from the physiological, cellular and molecular point of view to clearly define the phenotype and biomarkers of age-related muscle weakness.

In order to develop efficient countermeasures and propose them to the general public, the consortium integrated data from genetics and epidemiology, molecular and cellular biology, physiology, biomechanics, along with considering clinical and public health aspects.
