Popular Abstract in Swedish Evolution är förändringen av en egenskap över flera generationer i en population. För att en sådan förändring ska kunna ske måste ärftlig variation finnas i populationen. Med detta menas att en gen som påverkar en egenskap, t.ex. en fågels vinglängd, måste finnas i olika former, så kallade alleler, som har olika effekt på egenskapen (t.ex. längre eller kortare vinge). MLong-term studies of birds play an important role in the understanding of quantitative traits in natural populations. The relative ease by which individual birds can be monitored and caught in the wild enable us collect detailed information from individuals throughout their life time, sometimes from several generations in a population. In this thesis I describe the utilization of a great reed warb

The main ambition of companies is to deliver products (or services) to customers successfully in order to remain competitive. This requires an efficient and effective product development process, as well as cost reductions and higher service levels through improved logistics performance in the supply chain. Traditionally, these two areas, i.e. product development and logistics, have been treated s

Popular Abstract in Swedish Infektioner i urinvägar, tarm och luftvägar orsakas av bakterier som speciellt anpassats till respektive vävnad. Infektionen börjar med att bakterien binder till slemhinneytan, och därmed sätter igång inflammation och försvar. Urinvägsinfektioner (UVI) är en värdefull modell för att förstå de molekylära detaljerna som avgör balansen mellan värd och bakterie. UVI orsakaBacterial adhesion to the bladder mucosa is a critical step for the establishment of Escherichia coli bacteriuria. The P-fimbriae, encoded by the pap gene cluster, are considered as virulence factors but the mechanisms have been debated. This study defined the roles for P fimbriation during the early colonization of the human urinary tract. Patients with recurrent UTI were first subjected to deli

Grass pea (Lathyrus sativus) is a leguminous food crop, grown mainly in the tropical and subtropical regions. It has valuable nutrients, however consumption of the seeds is reported to cause lathyrism, due to the presence of a non-protein amino acid (?-ODAP). The present study deals with the development of a process for reducing the ?-ODAP content in grass pea seeds. The consequences of processin

A conceptual model for the relationships between wellbeing and health in old age were construed. In the model life history evaluations, current sense of coherence (SOC) and social network characteristics defined wellbeing. Health was defined as reported symptoms, subjective health and health care utilization. Firstly, interrelationships between the wellbeing aspects and between the health aspects

The purpose of the present thesis was to explore the theoretical and clinical implications of personality disorders (PDs), personality traits, and defense mechanisms in drug abusers diagnosed with psychosis and PDs. The prospect was, via four empirical studies and one paper of discussing methodology, to increase the psychodynamic understanding, which might improve the precision in planning treatme
