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

2. Topology Optimization of Fatigue-Constrained Structures
Abstract : Fatigue, or failure of material due to repeated cyclic loading, is one of the most common causes of mechanical failures. The risk of fatigue in a load carrying component is often lowered by adding material, thereby reducing stresses. READ MORE

3. On Models and Methods for Global Optimization of Structural Topology
Abstract : This thesis consists of an introduction and sevenindependent, but closely related, papers which all deal withproblems in structural optimization. In particular, we considermodels and methods for global optimization of problems intopology design of discrete and continuum structures. READ MORE

4. On Methods for Discrete Topology Optimization of Continuum Structures
Abstract : This thesis consists of an introduction and seven appended papers. The purpose of the introduction is to give an overview of the field of topology optimization of discretized load carrying continuum structures. READ MORE

5. In situ remediation of contaminated sediments using thin-layer capping : efficiency in contaminant retention and ecological implications
Abstract : Hydrophobic organic contaminants (HOCs) often reside in sediments sorbed to particles, most tightly to particles with high content of organic carbon. If persistent, such pollutants can accumulate in the sediment for many years and constitute a contamination risk for sediment-living organisms and organisms at higher trophic levels, including humans.
