  2. 1. Mitochondrial plasmids, genetic conflicts and sex-determination in Silene vulgaris

    Author : Helene Andersson; Biologiska institutionen; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Silene vulgaris; sex-determination; mitochondrial plasmids; genetic conflicts; Botanik; Botany;

    Abstract : Plants like all other eukaryotic organisms carry most of their DNA in the nucleus. In addition, plants also have both chloroplasts and mitochondria that contain their own genetic material. The genomes in chloroplasts and mitochondria control certain vital processes, but most often the organelles act under strict nuclear control. READ MORE

  4. 2. Facing death : physicians' difficulties and coping strategies in cancer care

    Author : Margareta Andræ; Lars Jacobsson; Ulla Holm; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Physician; cancer care; conflicts; coping; facing death; dying;

    Abstract : Even if the treatment of cancer has developed over the last decades 50% of the patients still die of their cancer. The doctor's way of dealing with his and his patient's anxiety must surely be of significance for the treatment the patient receives.In the first part of the thesis earlier studies of physicians' stress and ways of coping are reported.

  5. 3. Bioprospecting and deep-sea genetic resources in a fragmenting international law

    Author : Niels Krabbe; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; public international law; law of the sea; international environmental law; WTO law; bioprospecting; biotechnology; genetic resources; deep-sea; biological diversity; areas beyond national jurisdiction; fragmentation; treaty interpretation; norm conflict; regimes; commons; conflict clauses;

    Abstract : This thesis investigates if public international law manages to function as a coherent system in the case of deep-sea bioprospecting, where rules in three regimes provide seemingly inconsistent obligations for states. Based on an investigation of the development of bioprospecting and patenting of deep-sea genetic resources, the study explores how rules in the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) and the World Trade Organization Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (WTO TRIPS) apply to such activities.

  6. 4. Mating strategies and sexual conflicts in aquatic invertebrates: consequences for evolutionary differentiation

    Author : Kristina Karlsson; Biologiska institutionen; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Asellus aquaticus; Dytiscidae; gender bias; genetic polymorphism; mate guarding; parallel evolution; plasticity; population divergence; sexual conflict; sexually antagonistic selection; sexual selection;

    Abstract : In this thesis I investigated how mating related strategies may differ among populations and how these strategies evolve in response to their local ecological environments. I have used two different study systems of aquatic invertebrates: diving beetles (Dytiscidae) and the fresh water isopod Asellus aquaticus. READ MORE

  7. 5. Cutaneous leishmaniasis : treatment and genetic mechanisms affecting outcome

    Author : Hedvig Glans; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Leishmaniasis is a neglected parasitic disease and a rare diagnosis in non-endemic countries in Europe. Migration, geopolitical conflicts and climate change have increased awareness of this infection in Europe, as more patients with leishmaniasis are admitted to health care. READ MORE
