    Author : Devon Spika; Nationalekonomiska institutionen; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Gender; Health; Education; Inequality; Human capital; Field experiment; Gym attendance; Incentives; Commitment contract; Self-control; Books; Norms; Stereotypes; Children; Sweden; Mental health; Concentration index; RIF-Regression; Oaxaca–Blinder decomposition;

    Abstract : This thesis comprises of four self-contained papers that use both experimental and applied micro-econometric methods to explore different aspects of gender, health, the decisions we make, and the actions we take. In the first paper we investigate changes in psychiatric diagnoses and their income-related inequalities over time in Sweden and attempt to disentangle the development by decomposing changes over time in terms of population-level changes in education and migration background.

  4. 2. Variant antigens at the infected red cell surface in Plasmodium falciparum malaria

    Author : Victor Fernandez; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Plasmodium falciparum; blood stages; variant antigens; var PfEMP1; rif RIFIN; adhesive phenotypes; cytoadherence; endothelial receptor; PECAM-1 CD31; rosetting; heparan sulphate;

    Abstract : Disease severity in Plasmodium falciparum infections is, to a large extent, a consequence of the parasite's efficient escape from die human host defences. Sequestration and antigenic variation are two evasion mechanisms featured by P.falciparum. READ MORE

  5. 3. Tuberculosis case finding in HIV-positive adults receiving care at health centres in Ethiopia

    Author : Taye Balcha; Enheten för infektionssjukdomar; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; HIV; Case detection; Treatment outcome; Health centres; Ethiopia.;

    Abstract : Rapid, accurate diagnosis and management of TB in HIV-positive individuals is critical for the success of antiretroviral treatment programmes in primary health care in Sub-Saharan Africa.

  6. 4. Pharmacokinetic and pharmacogenetic aspects of drug-drug interactions between antiretroviral and anti-tuberculosis drugs in Ethiopian patients : implication for optimization of TB-HIV co-treatment

    Author : Abiy Habtewolde Eyakem; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : TB and HIV are immuno-pathologically interacting epidemic infectious diseases affecting the lives of millions globally & sub-Saharan African region accounts the highest burden of both diseases. Although effective therapies are available for the management of each, TB-HIV co-treatment has faced challenges mainly due to drug-drug interactions & overlapping drug toxicities. READ MORE

  7. 5. Holomorphic functions on polydiscs and measures on the distinguished boundary

    Author : Linus Bergqvist; Alan Sola; Emmanuel Fricain; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Complex variables; Holomorphic functions; Polydiscs; matematik; Mathematics;

    Abstract : This thesis consists of four papers, treating holomorphic functions defined on polydiscs, operators acting on spaces of such functions, and related measures on the n-torus. In paper I we study containment of rational inner functions, or RIFs for short, in Dirichlet type spaces on the unit polydisc D^n. READ MORE
