   Author : Magdalena Fraser; Kjel Knutsson; Mattias Jakobsson; Paul Wallin; Anders Götherström; Per Åke Persson; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; archaeology; aDNA; ancient genomics; archaeogenetics; mtDNA; osteology; radiocarbon dating; Strontium; Carbon; Nitrogen; TRB; PWC; BAC; CWC; dolmen; stone cist; population demography; diet; mobility; cultural duality; admixture; kinship; Neolithic period; Early Bronze Age; Europe; Baltic Sea area; Scandinavia; Gotland; Molekylär genetik; Molecular Genetics;

   Abstract : The study of ancient genomics of pre-historic human remains has in recent years offered unprecedented knowledge regarding pre-historic migration and population structure on the European continent which has fundamentally altered the current views in the archaeological community. However, the merging of the two fields, archaeology and genetics, is still in its infancy and much work is still needed in order for these fields to integrate. READ MORE

4. 2. Cystic Fibrosis - long term results of a treatment package including preventive physical exercise

   Author : Louise Lannefors; allergologi och palliativ medicin Lungmedicin; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; cystic fibrosis; physiotherapy; survival; physical exercise; airway clearance; working capacity; lung function;

   Abstract : Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is a severe hereditary disorder leading to progressive deterioration of lung function and death. This thesis describes the demography of CF in Sweden, its treatment, with special reference to physiotherapy, and its effects on lung function and peak working capacity (PWC). READ MORE

5. 3. Migration in Prehistory : DNA and stable isotope analyses of Swedish skeletal material

   Author : Anna Linderholm; Kerstin Lidén; Oliver Craig; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Migration; ancient DNA; stable isotopes; δ13C; δ15N; δ34S; mtDNA; lactose tolerance; Neolithic; Pitted Ware culture; Funnel Beaker culture; Vikings; Öland; Rössberga; Birka; Björned; Archaeology; Arkeologi; Archaeological Science; laborativ arkeologi;

   Abstract : The main aim of this thesis is to show how scientific methods may be used to look at migration in prehistory on the basis of archaeological material. The individuals examined represent the period 4 000 BC to 1 000 AD and have their geographical origins in various parts of Sweden.Ancient DNA analysis is employed in three cases. READ MORE

6. 4. Methodological advancements in data analysis and quantitative performance of positron emission tomography

   Author : Martin Schain; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Positron emission tomography (PET) is a medical imaging modality with which neurophysiological functions can be studied. After a radio-labeled molecule is injected intravenously, it is transported by the blood stream to the target of interest. The radioactive atom of the molecule decays, resulting in two gamma rays that the PET system detects. READ MORE

7. 5. Where our feet have taken us : Examples of human contact, migration, and adaptation as revealed by ancient DNA

   Author : Alexandra Coutinho; Mattias Jakobsson; Helena Malmström; Carina Schlebusch; Tom Gilbert; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Human demography; migration; adaptation; human contact; ancient DNA; human evolution; African prehistory; Scandinavian prehistory; Biology with Specialisation in Human Evolution and Genetics; Biologi med inriktning mot människans evolution och genetik;

   Abstract : In spite of our extensive knowledge of the human past, certain key questions remain to be answered about human prehistory. One involves the nature of cultural change in material culture through time from the perspective of how different ancient human groups interacted with one another. READ MORE
