   Abstract : Gender equality has been on the development cooperation agenda for more than three decades. Bilateral agencies have developed policies, strategies, methodologies and tools to support achievement of this important goal. READ MORE

4. 2. Regulatory mechanisms in olfactory system assembly and function

   Author : Carolyn Marks; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : The mammalian sense of smell relies on the detection of odorants by a large family of G protein coupled receptors, encoded by ~1300 different genes in mice (Buck and Axel, 1991; Zhang et al., 2007). These odorant receptors (ORs) are expressed in olfactory sensory neurons (OSNs) in the main olfactory epithelium (MOE). READ MORE

5. 3. Stress, depression, and other psychiatric disorders : an epidemiological approach to studying the causes and consequences for in vitro fertilization outcome and polycystic ovary syndrome

   Author : Carolyn E Cesta; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Reproductive epidemiology, psychiatric epidemiology, and pharmacoepidemiology come together in this thesis which is comprised of four studies and divided into two parts. Part 1 examines the impact of stress and depression on the outcomes of infertility treatment in women undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF). READ MORE

6. 4. Productivity and carbon transfer in pelagic food webs in response to carbon, nutrients and light

   Author : Carolyn Faithfull; Ann-Kristin Bergström; Tobias Vrede; Kathryn Cottingham; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; bacterial production; phytoplankton production; mesocosms; food webs; carbon; nutrients; light; Terrestrial; freshwater and marine ecology; Terrestrisk; limnisk och marin ekologi; limnologi; Limnology;

   Abstract : Some of the major problems we face today are human induced changes to the nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and carbon (C) cycles. Predicted increases in rainfall and temperature due to climate change, may also increase dissolved organic matter (DOM) inflows to freshwater ecosystems in the boreal zone. READ MORE

7. 5. Exploring the Realm of Gene Expression Differences Between White Leghorn and Red Junglefowl Chickens

   Author : Carolyn Fitzsimmons; Leif Andersson; Finn Hallböök; Dave Burt; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Molecular genetics; chicken; gene expression; microarray; polymorphism; Genetik; Genetics; Genetik;

   Abstract : In this thesis we attempted to elicit patterns of gene expression that influence phenotype, and that may also have been altered by thousands of years of domestication and selection, between red junglefowl and White Leghorn chickens. Red junglefowl are the wild ancestor to all domesticated chickens, and poultry in general are highly valued as a research animal and food resource. READ MORE
