  2. 1. Tracing Wolves : Materiality, Effect and Difference

    Author : Andrew Mitchell; Mark Graham; Bengt G. Karlsson; Samantha Hurn; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Wolf; trace; materiality; effect; difference; transspecies; post-human; material-semiotic; human-animal; socialantropologi; Social Anthropology;

    Abstract : As wolves are seldom seen in Scandinavia, Tracing Wolves utilises the ‘trace’ as both a theoretical and methodological tool to aid comprehension of what a wolf is and what a wolf does. Consequently, this enquiry examines human-wolf practices, such as tracking, genetic analysis, GPS tracking, hunting, and wolf necropsies, via which Scandinavian wolves in Sweden manifest. READ MORE

  4. 2. Myonuclear Organization and Regulation of Muscle Contraction in Single Muscle Fibres : Effects of Ageing, Gender, Species, Endocrine Factors and Muscle Size

    Author : Rizwan Qaisar; Lars Larsson; Jo Bruusgaard; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; single muscle cells; muscle nuclei; specific force; species; hypertrophy; mammals; ageing; gender; Physiology; Fysiologi;

    Abstract : The skeletal muscle fibre is a syncitium where each myonucleus regulates the gene products in a finite volume of cytoplasm i.e., the myonuclear domain (MND). READ MORE

  5. 3. Integrating Efficacy and Toxicity in Preclinical Anticancer Drug Development : Methods and Applications

    Author : Caroline Haglund; Elin Lindhagen; Rolf Larsson; Anna Åleskog; Sigurd Vitols; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Anticancer drugs; In vitro assays; Toxicity testing; Haematological toxicity; Primary tumour cells; Species difference; Clinical pharmacology; Klinisk farmakologi; Clinical Pharmacology; Klinisk farmakologi;

    Abstract : Preclinical testing is an important part of cancer drug development. The aim of this thesis was to establish and evaluate preclinical in vitro methods useful in the development of new anticancer drugs. In paper I, the development of non-clonogenic assays (FMCA-GM) using CD34+ stem cells for assessment of haematological toxicity was described. READ MORE

  6. 4. Plant colonization of oak plantations - the interactive effects of local environment and land-use history

    Author : Karin Valtinat; Biologiska institutionen; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Nitrogen mineralization; Phosphorus; Plant ecology; Växtekologi; Soil acidity; Seed sowing; Dispersal limitation; Species diversity; Indicator species analysis; Functional groups; Succession; Understory vegetation; Land-use history; Temperate forest;

    Abstract : In Europe, only small fragments of deciduous woodlands remain intact and species dependent on this ecosystem have declined. In southern Sweden, a shifting trend during the 20th century, with more afforestations on former arable land, resulted in new oak stands. These new stand are either on former arable fields or on continuously forested land. READ MORE

  7. 5. The use of molecular markers for identifying species diversity and functional variation of ectomycorrhizal fungi

    Author : Jenny Hedh; Biologiska institutionen; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Ectomycorrhiza; molecular markers; Paxillus involutus; ITS region; phylogenetic species; host compatibility; gene expression; CGH;

    Abstract : Ectomycorrhiza (EM) is a symbiosis between soil living fungi and the roots of woody plants. EM fungal communities are important in forest nutrient cycling, they are species rich and their structures vary between habitats and over time. READ MORE
