2. 1. Evolution of mate signalling in moths: Biosynthetic gene families and diversification of female sex pheromones

   Author : Marjorie Liénard; Biologiska institutionen; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; duplication; transcriptome; fatty-acyl-CoA reductase; fatty-acyl-CoA desaturase; fatty-acid biosynthesis; odour; insect; Lepidoptera; phylogeny; qPCR; heterologous expression; mutagenesis;

   Abstract : Pheromones are intraspecific chemical signals serving as a ubiquitous form of communication, particularly among insects. Female sex-pheromone signals act as the core constituent in the specialized odour-mediated moth mate-recognition system. Female moths typically release multicomponent mixtures of alcohols, aldehydes or acetates. READ MORE

4. 2. Improvement Capability at the Front Lines of Healthcare : Helping through Leading and Coaching

   Author : Marjorie M. Godfrey; Helle Wijk; Jönköping University; []
   Keywords : Health care improvement; interprofessional teams; leadership of improvement; team coaching; clinical microsystem;

   Abstract : SUMMARY This thesis addresses improvement capability at the front lines of healthcare with a focus on interprofessional health care improvement teams who provide care and improve care. The overall aim is to explore high performing clinical microsystems and evaluate interventions to cultivate health care improvement capabilities of frontline interprofessional teams. READ MORE

5. 3. Genetic response to pollution in sticklebacks; natural selection in the wild

   Author : Emma Lind; Mats Grahn; Marjorie Oleksiak; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Population genomics; genome scan; divergent selection; Gasterosteus aculeatus; Baltic Sea; pollution; funktionell zoomorfologi; Functional Zoomorphology;

   Abstract : The last century, humans have been altering almost all natural environments at an accelerating rate, including the Baltic Sea that has highly eutrophicated areas and many coastal industries such as Pulp-mills. For animals living in a habitat that changes there are basically two alternatives, either to cope with the change or become locally extinct. READ MORE

6. 4. Ab initio driven modeling of advanced nuclear fuels

   Author : Huan Liu; Pär Olsson; Marjorie Bertolus; KTH; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Fysik; Physics; Kärnenergiteknik; Nuclear Engineering;

   Abstract : With the development of clean energy sources such as nuclear power, it has become more important to use advanced nuclear fuels to improve economic efficiency and expand safety margins. Thanks to the high fissile density, high thermal conductivity, and high melting point, uranium nitride and uranium silicide have been considered accident tolerant or high-performance fuels for commercial light water reactors and for future generation reactor systems.

7. 5. Helping robots help us : Using prior information for localization, navigation, and human-robot interaction

   Author : Malcolm Mielle; Martin Magnusson; Achim Lilienthal; Erik Schaffernicht; Marjorie Skubic; Örebro universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; graph-based SLAM; prior map; sketch map; emergency map; map matching; graph matching; segmentation; search and rescue;

   Abstract : Maps are often used to provide information and guide people. Emergency maps or floor plans are often displayed on walls and sketch maps can easily be drawn to give directions. However, robots typically assume that no knowledge of the environment is available before exploration even though making use of prior maps could enhance robotic mapping. READ MORE
