  2. 1. Nesting and migration in the introduced Canada goose in Sweden

    Author : Göran Sjöberg; Catherine M. Lessells; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Species introductions; DNA fingerprinting; natal dispersal; breeding dispersal; bird migration; wintering areas; clutch size; laying date; body reserves; nest defence; waterfowl; Canada goose; Anatidae; Branta canadensis;

    Abstract : The aim of the thesis was to document patterns in breeding and migration in Swedish Canada geese Branta canadensis, to explain these against the genetic and historical background of the population, and to test predictions of hypotheses pertaining to parental investment.The Canada goose population in Sweden was founded by the introduction of a few individuals in the 1930's.

  4. 2. Detection and epidemiologic subtyping of Legionella pneumophilia using DNA-based molecular methods

    Author : Sverker Bernander; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Legionella; AFLP; PFGE; Nested PCR; lag-1; hospital; outbreaks;

    Abstract : Legionella pneumophila causes 2 - 6 % of hospitalised pneumonia cases. Several community- and hospital-acquired outbreaks have been reported over the years. Legionnaires' disease (LD) or legionellosis is also a frequent cause of pneumonia amongst travellers. READ MORE

  5. 3. Drug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis in Estonia

    Author : Annika Krüüner; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Tuberculosis; Estonia; M. tuberculosis; drug resistance; MDR-TB; Beijing genotype; cross-resistance; kanamycin; amikacin; rrs mutations; 16S rRNA; exposure; nosocomial transmission; mycobacterial persistence; re-infection; DST; second-line drugs; Bactec; 460; DNA fingerprinting; spoligotyping;

    Abstract : Tuberculosis (TB) infection and disease patterns among different populations are extremely heterogeneous. This thesis explores mainly by microbiological methods the epidemiology of TB in Estonia. Through the work high rates of drug resistance were found. READ MORE

  6. 4. Health Promoting Effects of Bioactive Peptides in Milk - Studies on Cultured Normal Cells and Cancer Cells

    Author : Catja Freiburghaus; Livsmedelsteknik; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

    Abstract : This thesis concerns the bioactive peptides lactoferricin and ubiquitin and findings suggesting that they have ability to modify the risk of cancer. It is known that components in bovine milk may improve human health and modify the risk of diseases. Examples of such compounds are bioactive peptides, i.e. READ MORE

  7. 5. Spontaneous and induced mutations at the human minisatellite MS32 in yeast

    Author : Henrik Appelgren; Yuri Dubrova; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; toxikologisk genetik; Genetic Toxicology;

    Abstract : Tandem repetitive DNA including minisatellites make up a large part of eukaryotic genomes, and some tandem repetitive loci are associated with human disease. Little is known about the functions and dynamics of these sequences. Hypervariable minisatellites are used as naturally occurring genetic markers and form the basis of DNA fingerprinting. READ MORE
