4. 7. Building muscle : a translation of training adaptation

   Author : Niklas Boman; Michael Svensson; Jonas Burén; Henrik Antti; Eva Jansson; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Training; adaptation; muscle; human; hypertrophy; testosterone; fysiologi; Physiology;

   Abstract : Training is preparation for what is expected to come through utilization of the plastic and resistive features of nature, known as adaptation. As such, training in humans may have a number of desired goals. These are typically related to sports performance or education. Whatever the goal, a plan needs to be made for reaching it. READ MORE

5. 8. Helicobacter pylori : multitalented adaptation of binding properties

   Author : Sara Henriksson; Thomas Borén; Göran Larson; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Helicobacter pylori; adherence; receptor specificity; adaptation; pH; BabA; Leb; recombination; secretor phenotype; recombinant cell lines;

   Abstract : Helicobacter pylori infects and persistently colonizes the stomach, which results in gastritis and in some individuals peptic ulcer disease or gastric cancer. Adherence of H. pylori to the epithelium is an important factor for development of disease. READ MORE

6. 9. Patterns of small-scale coastal fisheries and local fisheries management in Tanzania : adaptation to a changing climate

   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Small-scale fisheries; tropical coastal seascape; nearshore-offshore linkages; coastal ecosystems; fish catch landings; communities; adaptation; climate change; fishing overfishing; Marine Ecotoxicology; marin ekotoxikologi;

   Abstract : Coastal habitats like mangroves, seagrass meadows, coral reefs, and adjacent offshore waters constitute an important part of the tropical coastal seascape. They provide conducive environmental conditions for fish and other marine animals, which serve as food and income for coastal communities around the world. READ MORE

7. 10. Hopeful monsters: The role of hybrids in adaptation : The impact of hybridisation and genetic diversity on adaptation to stressful and novel environments

   Author : Ciaran Gilchrist; Rike Stelkens; Christopher Wheat; Linda Laikre; Mathilde Cordellier; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Experimental evolution; Saccharomyces cerevisiae; population genetics; hybridisation; adaptation; aneuploidy; comparative genomics; evolve-and-resequence; de novo mutations; evolutionary parallelism; populationsgenetik; Population Genetics;

   Abstract : Adaptation to novel environments can only occur if natural selection has the raw material to act upon. But small, endangered populations are often genetically depleted, and the acquisition of beneficial de novo mutations often takes too long when population face quick and extreme environmental change.
