2. 1. Between the Highway and the Red Dirt Track : Subaltern Urbanization and Census Towns in India

   Author : Srilata Sircar; Institutionen för kulturgeografi och ekonomisk geografi; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; India; Dalit-Bahujan-Adivasi; Subaltern urbanization; census towns; urban theory; postcolonial;

   Abstract : In the 2011 census of India, more than 2500 settlements have been newly inducted into the category of ‘census towns’ – the lowest size-class of urban settlements in India. This is a staggering figure in light of the observation that a comparable number constituted the total number of all urban settlements recorded since 1900. READ MORE

4. 2. PRO-POOR PLANNING: A Tool for Strategic Territorial Planning and a Conceptual Framework Drawn from Studies in Colombia and Costa Rica

   Author : Carlos de la Espriella; Boende och bostadsutveckling; []
   Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Poverty Reduction; Statistical Information; Social Housing; Urban Governance; Urbanization; Poverty Impact Assessments; Poverty Mapping; Local Authorities; Poverty; Integrated Urban Planning; Inequality; Geographic Information Systems; Decentralization; Costa Rica; Census Microdata; Colombia; Urban Residential Segregation; Urban Planning;

   Abstract : Few planning practices in the South seem to be equipped with key concepts and technical, empirical and administrative capacities required to comprehend and visualize the phenomenon of poverty at inter- and intra-urban levels, which compromises their ability to inform decision-makers on the effects on poverty reduction of the land-based actions they design, implement and monitor. This challenge was addressed from conceptual, technical, empirical, and administrative angles, which correspond to the research objectives. READ MORE

5. 3. Mortality and co-morbidity among patients with hemochromatosis and their first-degree relatives

   Author : Maria Elmberg; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : Genetic Hemochromatosis; cohort study; health- and census registers; mortality; morbidity; cancer; ischemic heart disese; arthropathy; joint replacement surgery;

   Abstract : Genetic hemochromatosis (GH) is an autosomal recessive disease caused by a C282Y mutation in the HFEgene, and is characterized by excess iron accumulation in multiple organs. Classical manifestations of GH include liver cirrhosis, liver cancer, diabetes mellitus, cardiomyopathy, and arthritis. READ MORE

6. 4. Urbanization and Education : The Effect of Childhood Urban Residency on Educational Attainment

   Author : Raoul van Maarseveen; Niklas Bengtsson; Matz Dahlberg; Daniel Sturm; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Urban Residency; Educational Attainment; Urbanization; Human Capital; Urban Migration; Economics; Nationalekonomi;

   Abstract :   Essay I: Does rural to urban migration in developing countries improve the opportunities available to children? And does childhood urban exposure increase educational attainment? Using census data for 14 African countries combined with an age-at-move design, I show that childhood exposure to cities significantly raises primary school completion, school attendance, and literacy rates. The increase in educational attainment is robust to the inclusion of household fixed effects, visible in all subgroups and countries, and particularly large for girls. READ MORE

7. 5. Conservation Genetics of the Eurasian Otter in Sweden

   Author : Johanna Arrendal; Mats Björklund; Carles Vilà; Ralph Tiedemann; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : Ecology; in situ conservation; individual identification; microsatellites; mtDNA; noninvasive genetic sampling; population dynamics; population size; PVA; restocking; Ekologi; Lutra lutra;

   Abstract : In this thesis, molecular genetic methods were used to study a threatened species, the Eurasian otter. Estimates of population size and population dynamics parameters were obtained, the genetic effects of a restocking program was evaluated, and a population viability analysis was conducted to assess which demographic parameters are most important for the future viability of an otter population.
