  2. 6. Depression and Antisocial Behaviour in Adolescents : Influence of Social Status, Shaming, and Gene-Environment Interaction

    Author : Cecilia Åslund; Kent W Nilsson; Jerzy Leppert; Bengt Starrin; Lars Oreland; Lil Träskman-Bendz; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; adolescent; antisocial behaviour; depression; gene-environment interaction; maltreatment; monoamine oxidase; serotonin; shame; social status; Child and adolescent psychiatry; Barn- och ungdomspsykiatri; barn- och ungdomspsykiatri; Child and Youth Psychiatry;

    Abstract : This thesis investigated (1) social status and shaming experiences in relation to aggressive behaviour and depression, and (2) gene-environment interactions between two genetic polymorphisms related to the serotonergic system – MAOA-VNTR and 5HTTLPR – and experiences of maltreatment in relation to delinquent behaviour and depression among adolescents. The four included studies are based on questionnaire data from the Survey of Adolescent Life in Vestmanland 2006 (SALVe-2006). READ MORE

    Keywords : Vulpes lagopus; Mammuthus primigenius; population reduction; extinction; ancient DNA; mitochondrial DNA; microsatellites; genetic variation; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; zoologisk ekologi; Animal Ecology;

    Abstract : Many populations and species are threatened with extinction today. Understanding the extinction process and the factors behind population decline is therefore important. READ MORE

  5. 8. Acquired or inherited prestige? : molecular studies of family structures and local horses in Central Svealand during the Early Medieval period

    Abstract : This is a study of the role of inheritance among the élite in Early Medieval central Svealand and the possibility to study it by molecular genetic methods. The study is a part of the research project Svealand in the Vendel and Viking periods (SIV). The study rests on classical as well as a new type of source material. READ MORE

  6. 9. Genetic Aspects of Endocrine Tumorigenesis : A Hunt for the Endocrine Neoplasia Gene

    Author : Alberto Delgado Verdugo; Peyman Björklund; gunnar westin; Per Hellman; Filip Farnebo; Uppsala universitet; []

    Abstract : Endocrine tumors arise from endocrine glands. Most endocrine tumors are benign but malignant variants exist. Several endocrine neoplasms display loss of parts of chromosome 11 or 18, produce hormones and responds poorly to conventional chemotherapeutics. The multiple endocrine neoplasia syndromes are mainly confined to endocrine tumors. READ MORE
