   Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES;

   Abstract : Genetic variation contributing to the phenotypic variation was utilized in this thesis to understand the genetic background of a complex trait IBH, and to understand genetic diversity and relationships between various horse populations. IBH is the most common skin allergic disorder in horses, caused by bites of midges, predominantly Culicoides species. READ MORE

4. 2. Temporomandibular joint pain, hyperalgesia and allodynia in relation to interleukin-1ß and serotonin

   Author : Per Alstergren; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : Arthritis; Human; Hydroxocobalamin; Hyperalgesia; Inflammation; Interleukin-1; Pain; Plasma; Serotonin; Synovial fluid; Temporomandibular joint; Vitamin B12;

   Abstract : This thesis had two main aims and comprises a methodological and a clinical part. The aims were to develop a temporomandibular joint (TMJ) synovial fluid (SF) sampling method that enables the determination of the true SF level of various substances and, by using the developed TMJ SF sampling method, investigate the hypothesis that circulating as well as SF content of interleukin-1ß (IL-1ß) and serotonin (5-HT) influence different TMJ pain entities and signs of tissue destruction in patients with TMJ inflammatory disorders.

5. 3. The interdependence of plastic behaviour and final properties of steel wire, analysed by the finite element method

   Author : Henrik Överstam; Magnus Jarl; Sven-Erik Lundberg; Chunhui Luo; Örebro universitet; []
   Keywords : Technology; FEM; defects; steel wire; wire drawing; rolling; forging; Teknikvetenskap; TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIKVETENSKAP; Maskinteknik; Mechanical Engineering;

   Abstract : The finite element method (FEM) has been used in order to study the interdependence of plastic behaviour and final properties in steel wire. Three processes metal forming have been studied: billet forging, wire rod rolling, and cold drawing. READ MORE

6. 4. Moral responsibility and the ethics of traffic safety

   Author : Jessica Nihlén Fahlquist; John Cantwell; Tuija Takala; KTH; []
   Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; moral responsibility; ethics; traffic safety; public health; environment; Philosophy subjects; Filosofiämnen;

   Abstract : The general aim of this thesis is to present and analyse traffic safety from an ethical perspective and to explore some conceptual and normative aspects of moral responsibility. Paper I presents eight ethical problem areas that should be further analysed in relation to traffic safety. READ MORE

7. 5. On costochondral grafts replacing mandibular condyles in juvenile chronic arthritis. A clinical, histological and experimental study

   Author : Börje Svensson; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; juvenile chronic arthritis; temporomandibular joints; temporomandibular disorders; costochondral grafts; growth; revascularisation; microangiography; fluorochrome labelling.;

   Abstract : In children with juvenile chronic arthritis (JCA), disturbances of mandibular growth and function may result in involvement of the temporomandibular joints (TMJs). The aim of this thesis was to study the stomatognathic system in JCA children and long-term effects on facial growth of treatment comprising replacement of arthritic mandibular condyles with autogenous costochondral grafts (CCGs) during growth.
