    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; globalisation; market integration; price convergence; colonial goods; international trade; imperialism; colonialism; Williams-thesis; slavery; sugar; balance of payments; Atlantic economy; the Baltic; ghost acreage;

    Abstract : This dissertation consists of four chapters which study early modern merchant capitalism, with a special focus upon the developing Atlantic economy. The introductory chapter is followed by chapter 2, studying the issue of market integration and price convergence in inter-continental trade during the early modern period. READ MORE

  4. 17. Microbotryum violaceum on Silene dioica : understanding traits that influence plant-pathogen interactions

    Author : Åsa Granberg; Barbara E. Giles; Ulla Carlsson-Granér; Arjen Biere; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : plant-pathogen interaction; biochemical resistance; breeding system; automixis; race specific resistance; extinction-colonisation dynamics; Silene dioica; Microbotryum violaceum;

    Abstract : The dynamics of a plant-pathogen interaction vary both within and among species. Both spatial structuring and specific genetic and life-history characteristics will affect the interaction and the outcome of a potential co-evolution between the two organisms. READ MORE

  5. 18. Bacterial colonisation and infection of the lower airways in cystic fibrosis : a microbiological and clinical study

    Author : Ferenc Karpati; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : cystic fibrosis; sputum; Pseudomonas aeruginosa; Stenotrophomonas maltophilia; Burkholderia cepacia; PCR; AP-PCR; 16S RNA gene; DNA sequencing; heterogeneity; TNF-[alpha]; IL-8; ibuprofen;

    Abstract : Pulmonary deterioration has remained the major cause of mortality in cystic fibrosis (C17) patients despite the considerable improvement of their survival due to more efficient therapy and centralised care. The progression of the CF lung disease is correlated to inflection with a limited number of colonising bacterial species. READ MORE

  6. 19. Feed for defence : can dietary supplements modulate broiler gut microbiota and guard against Campylobacter?

    Author : Eliska Eliasson; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : The bacteria Campylobacter jejuni is the causative agent of a disease in humans called campylobacteriosis and is the most commonly reported zoonosis in the European Union, with the primary source of infection often traced to broiler products. While low overall C. READ MORE

  7. 20. Genetic variation in natural populations: a modeller's perspective

    Author : Marina Rafajlovic; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; coalescent process; site frequency spectrum; multiple paternity; dominant clone; divergent selection;

    Abstract : Thanks to advances in genome sequencing, empirical patterns of within- and between-species genetic variation are readily available. By studying these patterns much has been learned about the evolutionary histories of species. But the causes and consequences of different evolutionary histories are still difficult to tell apart.
