  2. 1. 3D Auditory Displays for Driver Assistance Systems

    Author : André Lundkvist; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Teknisk akustik; Engineering Acoustics;

    Abstract : A constantly increasing number of advanced driver assistance systems are implemented in cars.The driver is required to interpret the data reported by these systems while driving, and thereforeit is important to know how the information signals provided by such systems affect the driver.

  4. 2. Calcium binding protein immunoreactivity in the central auditory system and correlations with the auditory periphery : the effects of noise and aging in mice

    Author : Esma Idrizbegovic; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Auditory; hearing loss; central auditory system; stereology; plasticity;

    Abstract : This study has examined how calcium binding protein immunoreactivity is modulated in the cochlear nucleus and the inferior colliculus after noise exposure and during aging in mice. The effect of noise exposure on calbindin-D28k (calbindin) and parvalbumin immunoreactivity in the dorsal and posteroventral cochlear nucleus (DCN and PVCN) and inferior colliculus (IC) was studied in CBA/CBA mice by using two-dimensional quantification.

  5. 3. Keeping Eye and Mind on the Road

    Author : Trent Victor; Claes von Hofsten; John Wann; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Psychology; Vision; Eye-movements; Driving; Attention; Distraction; Ventral stream; Dorsal stream; Road safety; Traffic crashes; Evaluation methodology; Psykologi; Psychology; Psykologi;

    Abstract : This thesis is devoted to understanding and counteracting the primary contributing factor in traffic crashes: inattention. Foremost, it demonstrates the fundamental importance of proactive gaze in the road centre area for action guidance in driving. READ MORE

  6. 4. Ecology, sexual selection and variable mating tactics in fallow deer (Dama dama)

    Author : Cheryl Jones Fur; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Ecology; Ekologi; Terrestrial; freshwater and marine ecology; Terrestisk; limnisk och marin ekologi; Animal Ecology; zooekologi;

    Abstract : This thesis investigates ecological and evolutionary mechanisms behind the variation in male mating behaviour in fallow deer (Dama dama) populations. Two Swedish populations of fallow deer were studied, a semi-wild enclosed population on the island of Öland in the Baltic Sea (Ottenby), and a deer farm located north of Uppsala (Bälinge). READ MORE

  7. 5. Hormones, Mood and Cognition

    Author : Kristiina Kask; Inger Sundström Poromaa; Torbjörn Bäckström; Britth-Marie Landgren; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; startle response; prepulse inhibition; premenstrual dysphoric disorder; menstrual cycle; pregnancy; postpartum period; episodic memory; semantic memory; working memory; progesterone; estradiol; allopregnanolone.; Obstetrics and gynaecology; Obstetrik och gynekologi;

    Abstract : Ovarian steroid hormones are neuroactive steroids with widespread actions in the brain, and are thus able to influence mood, behavior and cognition. In this thesis the effects of progesterone withdrawal and the direct effects of the progesterone metabolite allopregnanolone are evaluated. READ MORE
