6. Efficient Coding Techniques for Networks & Channels with Transmission Errors
Abstract : This thesis consists of two parts, both of whichinvestigate coding techniques for information transmission throughchannels in the presence of errors. Part I discusses topics ofnetwork coding and rateless codes. Part~II considers channel codesfor continuous phase modulation. These two parts are clearlydifferent, but they are also related. READ MORE

7. Climate change adaptation processes : Regional and sectoral stakeholder perspectives
Abstract : This thesis analyses how societal adaptation processes in public and private sectors at the regional to local level in Sweden are enacted. The thesis pays particular attention to critical factors that constrain or enable adaptation by focussing on: who are the stakeholders, how do different stakeholders perceive their capacity to adapt, and the role of stakeholder interaction in facilitating adaptation processes A combination of two analytical perspectives is used where one is based on key concepts within adaptation literature, and the other draws on boundary crossing and transdisciplinary knowledge production (stakeholders, adaptive capacity, and science-based stakeholder dialogues).

9. Functions and memory features of adaptive- and innate immune cells in physiological and inflammatory settings
Abstract : The immune system is a complex but well-regulated network which cooperates with the microbiota to maintain optimal homeostasis under physiological settings. A number of factors display the capacity to alter the immune system and thus microbiota crosstalk including host genetics, diet, environmental influences and drugs such as antibiotics or chemotherapeutic agents.

10. Climate Change Resilience : exploring socio-ecological system resilience for livelihood effects of climate change in peri-urban areas
Abstract : Ecosystem services are increasingly regarded as having the potential for building resilience to the effects of climate change in urban areas. Despite this, the knowledge of ecosystem services typologies aligned with analysis of how they might contribute in building resilience for specific effects of climate change is largely lacking, especially in peri-urban areas in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA).
