  2. 1. Stress in chickens : Effects of domestication and early experience on behaviour and welfare

    Author : Maria Ericsson; Per Jensen; Linda Keeling; Bjarne Braastad; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : The domestication is the process where animals have adapted to human conditions. A prerequisite for domestication is tame behaviour towards humans and subsequently, selection for other desirable traits took place which led to changes in several behavioural and physiological parameters.

  4. 2. The Stress Hypothesis : Implications for the induction of diabetes-related autoimmunity in children?

    Author : Anneli Sepa; Ann Frodi; Johnny Ludvigsson; Gunilla Bohlin; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; Psychological stress; parenting stress; attachment security; serious life events; children; attitudes; Type I diabetes; beta-cell autoantibodies; prediction; etiology; Medicine; Medicin;

    Abstract : Background: Second to Finland, Sweden has the world’s highest incidence of type 1 diabetes. Experiences of serious life events have retrospectively been shown to constitute a risk factor for the development of this disease, probably via the biological stress response. READ MORE

  5. 3. Mapping ultrastructural effects of proteotoxic stress on S. cerevisiae

    Author : Katharina Keuenhof; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; yeast; heat shock; stress; electron microscopy; ultrastructure; nuclear envelope budding;

    Abstract : Cells are the basic building blocks of any living being, whether the organism consists of only one, or many cells. The different cellular components interact with one another to maintain the viability of the cell. An essential element of cells are proteins – peptide chains folded into a specific conformation unique to every protein. READ MORE

  6. 4. Modeling Residual Stress Fields in Soft Tissues : with Application to Human Arteries

    Author : Tobias Olsson; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : Continuum Mechanics; Modeling; Residual Stress; Soft Tissues; TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIKVETENSKAP;

    Abstract : Biomechanics or Mechanics of Biology comprises many different fields. This thesis deals with soft tissues or living tissues and the fact that these materials live in a pressurized environment. This means that an unloaded tissue may not be stress free. The stress in an unloaded body is usually called residual stress. READ MORE

  7. 5. Molecular mechanism(s) underlying neurodegeneration in SCA7 disease : Role of NOX enzymes and oxidative stress

    Author : Abiodun Ajayi; Anna-Lena Ström; Ana Cristina Rego; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; neurodegeneration; oxidative stress; NOX; metabolism; p53; neurokemi med molekylär neurobiologi; Neurochemistry with Molecular Neurobiology;

    Abstract : Spinocerebellar ataxia type 7 (SCA7) is an autosomal dominant neurodegenerative disorder caused by a CAG trinucleotide expansion in the SCA7 gene resulting in progressive ataxia and retinal dystrophy. SCA7 belongs to a group of neurodegenerative disorders called polyglutamine (polyQ) diseases, that share the common feature of glutamine tract expansions within otherwise unrelated proteins. READ MORE
