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. 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

5. 3. Endemic and epidemic Streptococcus pyogenes strains : reservoirs in recurrent pharyngotonsillitis reservoirs in recurrent pharyngotonsillitis reservoirs in recurrent pharyngotonsillitis

   Author : Anders Österlund; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : Medical sciences; Streptococcus pyogenes; epidemiology; invasive disease; recurrentpharyngotonsillitis; RAPD; intracellular; biopsy culture; tonsils; immunohistochemistry; electron microscopy; MEDICIN OCH VÅRD; MEDICINE; MEDICIN; Clinical Bacteriology; klinisk bakteriologi;

   Abstract : The bacterium Streptococcus pyogenes is a common human pathogen known to cause bothuncomplicated and severe infections. Epidemics of invasive disease caused by S. pyogenesserotype T1 were seen in the county of Uppsala, Sweden, in 19881989 and 1994. READ MORE

6. 4. 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

7. 5. Investigations of the microbial diversity and dynamics in activated sludge using molecular methods

   Author : Johan Fredriksson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; wastewater treatment; 16S rRNA; population dynamics; terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism; microbial ecology; Archaea; activated sludge; Bacteria;

   Abstract : Wastewater treatment is necessary to reduce the health risks and environmental impacts associated with discharge of untreated wastewater. The most common way to treat wastewater in wastewater treatment plants is through the activated sludge process. READ MORE
