2. 21. Dietary prevention of gastrointestinal cancer : epidemiologic studies of fruit, vegetables and cereals

   Author : Paul Terry; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : fruit; vegetables; antioxidants; cereals; dietary fiber; esophageal neoplasms; gastric cardia neoplasms; stomach neoplasms; colorectal neoplasms; gastroesophageal reflux; cohort studies; case-control studies;

   Abstract : The widely accepted inverse associations between fruit, vegetables, dietary fiber and colorectal cancer risk, have recently been called into question. In addition, dietary studies of certain cancers, such as adenocarcinomas of the esophagus and gastric cardia, and prospective cohort studies of stomach cancer, remain scarce. READ MORE

4. 22. Health promotional interventions informed by community-based participatory research in a socially disadvantaged neighbourhood : development, exploration and evaluation

   Author : Rathi Ramji; Anders Kottorp; Margareta Rämgård; Elisabeth Carlson; Yolanda Suarez Balcazar; Malmö universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Participatory Action Research; Quality of Life; Physical Activity; Oral Health; Vårdvetenskap; Care science;

   Abstract : The overall aim of this thesis was to understand the impact of community-based participatory research-informed health promotional initiatives on the health of communities living in socially disadvantaged neighbourhoods in Southern Sweden. The thesis was part of a larger program, Health promotion, Innovation in Collaboration which was a community-based participatory research program aiming to create novel ways to improve health through participatory and collaborative strategies.

5. 23. Condition-dependence in life history evolution

   Author : Foteini Spagopoulou; Alexei Maklakov; Lars Gustafsson; Russell Bonduriansky; Pat Monaghan; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Ageing; senescence; nongenetic inheritance; sex differences; condition-dependence; life history; trade-off; Ficedula albicollis; Caenorhabditis remanei; Telostylinus angusticollis; Biologi med inriktning mot zooekologi; Biology with specialization in Animal Ecology;

   Abstract : Ageing is the progressive physiological deterioration that appears with increasing age and eventually leads to a decline in survival and reproduction. This physiological process is omnipresent across the tree of life, but the expected trajectory can widely vary between and within species. READ MORE

6. 24. Odour guided predation on acorns by small rodents during direct seeding

   Author : Mattias Engman; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES;

   Abstract : Costs related to planting of seedlings and plant material is a major economic obstacle that may impede successful large-scale forest restoration. One way to reduce this cost is to use direct seeding instead of planting. Nut-bearing trees such as oaks have seeds with large nutrient storage that results in competitive seedlings. READ MORE

7. 25. Hybrid zone dynamics, assortative mating, and migratory programmes in a willow warbler migratory divide

   Author : Keith W. Larson; Susanne Åkesson; Staffan Bensch; Martin Schaefer; Biologiska institutionen; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; migratory divide; phenotype; willow warbler; hybrid zone; tension zone; Phylloscopus trochilus; migratype; assortative mating; migration; biology; biologi; evolutionär genetik; evolutionary genetics; migratory divide; phenotype; willow warbler; hybrid zone; tension zone; Phylloscopus trochilus; migratype; assortative mating; migration;

   Abstract : In this thesis I will compare and contrast the two willow warbler subspecies (Phylloscopus trochilus trochilus and P. t. acredula) with differing migratory phenotypes (or "migratype") in the context of their migratory divide and hybrid zone in central Sweden. Their migratory programs differ in the direction and distance traveled during migration. READ MORE
