  2. 6. Determinant Factors for Memory Performance in Human Aging: A Study of Environmental, Person-Based, and Non-Cognitive Predictors Contributing to Memory Performance in old Adults

    Author : Jan-Åke Hansson; Hälsofrämjande komplexa interventioner; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; personality; Psychology; Psykologi; autonomy; life-habits; health; quality of life; environmental predictors; Memory performance; old adults;

    Abstract : The aim of this thesis was to examine the importance of environmental, non-cognitive, and person-based variables for memory performance in old adults. Study I was conducted in cooperation with the Gerontology Research Centre and the Department of Psychology in Lund. READ MORE

  4. 7. Temperature-inducible and calcium-regulated proteins encoded by the virulence plasmid of Yersinia

    Author : Ingrid Bölin; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Yersinia; virulence plasmid; gene products; regulation; calcium; temperature; outer membrane proteins;

    Abstract : The pathogenic members of the genus Yersinia, Y. pseudotuberculosis, Y. pestis and Y. enterocolitica are transmitted from animals to man and may give rise to disease with a variety of symptoms. READ MORE

  5. 8. Life history decisions in a changing environment : A long-term study of a temperate barnacle goose population

    Author : Henk van der Jeugd; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Developmental biology; Age at first reproduction; Barnacle goose; Branta leucopsis; Coloniality; Dispersal; Life-history; Mate choice; Population dynamics; Survival; Utvecklingsbiologi; Developmental biology; Utvecklingsbiologi; Animal Ecology; zooekologi;

    Abstract : This thesis shows that climate and increasing population density have profound effects on survival, age at first reproduction, and natal dispersal in a rapidly increasing temperate barnacle goose Branta leucopsis population on Gotland, Sweden.Colony size was found to be the most important fitness-determinant because of strong density-dependent effects on reproduction.

  6. 9. Vessel wall integrity : influence of genetics and flow

    Author : Hanna Björck; Toste Länne; Per Eriksson; Sverker Jern; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the major cause of death worldwide. Underlying causes, such as atherosclerosis and hypertension, are associated with remodeling of the vessel wall ultimately leading to loss of structural integrity. There are a number of factors that can influence vascular remodeling and hence structural integrity. READ MORE

  7. 10. Modelling and quantifying brain connectivity and dynamics with applications in aging and ADHD

    Author : Neda Kaboodvand; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Human brain is a complex organ and made up of integrative networks encompassing a large number of regions. These regions communicate with each other to share information involved in complex cognitive processes. Functional connectivity (FC) represents the level of synchronization between different brain regions/networks. READ MORE
