1. Risky Health Behaviour among Adolescents
Abstract : This thesis consists of four essays on risky health behaviour among adolescents. In the first paper, Young people and alcohol: an econometric analysis, the purpose was to analyse the determinants of adolescent drinking behaviour within an economic-theoretical framework. READ MORE

2. Visually guided swimming in box jellyfish: A study of swimming behaviour in response to visual stimuli
Abstract : Most animals use eyes to guide their behaviour. Analysing, and understanding, visually guided behaviours gets more complicated the more advanced the animal gets. Box jellyfish provide a relatively simple system for understanding visually guided behaviours. READ MORE

3. Tabletting behaviour of aggregates : Mechanistical conception and modulation by variations in aggregate physical properties
Abstract : The volume reduction mechanisms involved during compression of aggregates prepared from microcrystalline cellulose particles and effects of variations in their physical properties on their compression behaviour and compactability were studied in this thesis.The dominating volume reduction mechanisms during compression of aggregates prepared of MCC were deformation (bulk deformation and local deformation) parallel with densification, and generally the degree of fragmentation of the aggregates was minute.

4. Evolution of the subcortical circuits controlling goal-directed behaviour
Abstract : The aim of the work presented in this thesis was to reconstruct the minimal neural hardware that vertebrates use for goal-directed behaviour. By studying lamprey, one of the phylogenetically oldest vertebrates, we were able to identify the neural circuitry that has been conserved since jawed and jawless vertebrates diverged over 560 million years ago.

5. Signalling pathways controlling bacterial adaptation
Abstract : The conversion of environmental signals into cellular responses is a critically important process that occurs in all organisms. The ability to process information depends, in general, on complex signal transduction and regulatory networks that control genes required to cope with certain environmental conditions. READ MORE
