2. 21. Pharmaecological perspectives : Exposure studies using coastal Baltic Sea organisms

   Author : Hanna Oskarsson; Linda Kumblad; Ann-Kristin Eriksson Wiklund; Johan Eklöf; Nina Cedergreen; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Pharmaceuticals; Baltic Sea; Mytilus edulis trossulus; Fucus vesiculosus; Ceramium tenuicorne; Gammarus spp.; Direct effects; Inter-specific interactions; marin ekotoxikologi; Marine Ecotoxicology;

   Abstract : This thesis investigates the effects of pharmaceutical substances on coastal Baltic Sea organisms. Despite an increasing awareness of the occurrence of pharmaceuticals in various aquatic compartments, current knowledge of their possible effects on non-target organisms is limited.

4. 22. Reference Architectures for Highly Automated Driving

   Author : Sagar Behere; Martin Törngren; Ivica Crnkovic; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Autonomous driving; E E Architecture; Systems Engineering; Machine Design; Maskinkonstruktion;

   Abstract : Highly automated driving systems promise increased road traffic safety, as well as positive impacts on sustainable transportation by means of increased traffic efficiency and environmental friendliness. The design and development of such systems require scientific advances in a number of areas. READ MORE

5. 23. Genetic analysis of ligand-receptor interactions in the TGF-beta superfamily during early embryonic development

   Author : Olov Andersson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : During early development, cells differentiate and acquire specific fates according to their position in concentration gradients of morphogens. These substances often spread from a local region, termed an organizer, and exert different effects at distinct thresholds. READ MORE

6. 24. Expression and regulation of antimicrobial peptides in mucosal immunity

   Author : Andreas Cederlund; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Antimicrobial polypeptides (AMPs) are effector molecules of the innate immune defense. AMPs are mainly expressed in epithelial cells and immune cells, providing the first line of defense to infection as direct antimicrobials. In addition, many AMPs display immunomodulatory functions in both the adaptive and innate immune system. READ MORE

7. 25. Bacterioplankton in the Baltic Sea : influence of allochthonous organic matter and salinity

   Author : Daniela Figueroa; Agneta Andersson; Laura Alonso-Saéz; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Bacterioplankton production; bacterial community structure; allochthonous organic matter; carbon utilization; dissolved organic carbon composition; bacterioplankton ecological function; bacterial diversity; bacterial network; Baltic Sea estuary; food web; climate change.; Environmental Science; miljövetenskap;

   Abstract : Climate change is expected to increase the precipitation ~30% in higher latitudes during the next century, increasing the land runoff via rivers to aquatic ecosystems. The Baltic Sea will receive higher river discharges, accompanied by larger input of allochthonous dissolved organic matter (DOM) from terrestrial ecosystems. READ MORE
