  2. 1. Stress Coping Strategies in Rainbow Trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss)

    Author : Joachim Schjolden; Svante Winberg; Felicity Huntingford; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Biology; Salmonid fish; Stress coping; Serotonin; Cortisol; Catecholamines; Monoaminoxidase; Tryptophan; Monoamines; Behaviour; Stress; Biologi; Biology; Biologi;

    Abstract : Animals show a great variety in physiological and behavioural responses to stressors. These responses are often bimodally distributed within populations and show consistency on an individual level over time and across situations, which in terrestrial vertebrates have been identified as proactive and reactive stress coping strategies.

  4. 2. Fish coping with stress-Physiology and behaviour in salmonids with focus on stress coping styles, rearing conditions and smolt migration

    Author : Malin Rosengren; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Behaviour; Conservation; Cortisol; Intestinal barrier function; Metabolism; Salmonids; Stress; Stress coping styles;

    Abstract : When animals are reared for conservational releases it is paramount to avoid reducing genetic and phenotypic variation over time. Therefore, an understanding of how behavioural and physiological traits affect the performance of an individual both within the captive and the wild environment is required. READ MORE

  5. 3. Behavioural and Neuroendocrine Effects of Stress in Salmonid Fish

    Author : Øyvind Øverli; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Developmental biology; Aggression; Behaviour; Brain; Coping; Cortisol; Dominance; Dopamine; Feeding; Hierarchy; Norepinephrine; Responsiveness; Serotonin; Utvecklingsbiologi; Developmental biology; Utvecklingsbiologi; Developmental Biology; miljömedicinsk utvecklingsbiologi;

    Abstract : Stress can affect several behavioural patterns, such as food intake and the general activity level of an animal. The central monoamine neurotransmitters serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine are important in the mediation of both behavioural and neuroendocrine stress effects. READ MORE

  6. 4. Roles of Arginine-Vasotocin and Corticotropin-Releasing Hormone in Stress Responses and Agonistic Behaviour of Rainbow Trout

    Author : Tobias Backström; Svante Winberg; Lynne Sneddon; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Zoophysiology; arginine-vasotocin AVT ; corticotropin releasing hormone CRH ; stress; stress coping; behaviour; rainbow trout; Zoofysiologi;

    Abstract : The neuropeptides arginine-vasotocin (AVT) and corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) are involved in the hypothalamic-pituitary-interrenal (HPI) axis. During stress, the HPI axis is activated and cortisol is released into the blood. In addition to their role in the HPI axis, AVT and CRH also have behavioural effects. READ MORE

  7. 5. Facing death : physicians' difficulties and coping strategies in cancer care

    Author : Margareta Andræ; Lars Jacobsson; Ulla Holm; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Physician; cancer care; conflicts; coping; facing death; dying;

    Abstract : Even if the treatment of cancer has developed over the last decades 50% of the patients still die of their cancer. The doctor's way of dealing with his and his patient's anxiety must surely be of significance for the treatment the patient receives.In the first part of the thesis earlier studies of physicians' stress and ways of coping are reported.
