2. 6. Mechanisms for leukocyte-mediated adjustment of endothelial barrier function

   Author : Narinder Gautam; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : Inflammation; leukocyte extravasation; endothelial cells; vascular permeability; plasma leakage integrin signaling; heparin binding protein; contact phase; bradykinin.;

   Abstract : Extravasation of polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN) and associated plasma exsudation are key events in the inflammatory process. The mechanism by which activated PMN may induce increased vascular permeability for macromolecules is not fully understood but crucially dependent on an intact leukocytic beta2 integrin (CD11/CD18) adhesion receptor function.

4. 7. Modelling the Structural Dynamics of Business Networks : Two Agent-based Models of Supply Networks

   Author : Sara Shahin Moghadam; Frans Prenkert; Franziska Klügl; Magnus Hansson; Davide Secchi; Örebro universitet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Business networks; dynamics; Agent-based modelling; structural change; responses; interactions; complex adaptive systems;

   Abstract : This thesis aims at describing and analysing the structural changes of business networks that emerge as a result of change triggers. Despite previous studies, our understanding of the evolution of the network structure and its influencing factors is still limited. READ MORE

5. 8. Migration in anadromous brown trout

   Author : David Aldvén; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Downstream migration; Temperature; Discharge; Genetics; Growth rate; Climate change; Salmo trutta; Salmo salar; Sea trout; Salmon; Biology; Ecology;

   Abstract : This thesis investigates the anadromous migration of brown trout (Salmo trutta) with the overall aim to improve stock management within the region. Several field studies were conducted in different streams and coastal areas on the west coast of Sweden specifically aimed to evaluate environmental triggers for migration (Paper I), migration pathways and strategies (Paper III and IV) as well as the genetic differentiation of anadromous populations of brown trout (Paper V).

6. 9. Molecular Regulation of Bud Phenology and Vegetative Phase Change in Populus Trees

   Author : Shashank Sane; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES;

   Abstract : Trees are sessile organisms that have evolved to survive and thrive in changing growth conditions. As a survival strategy they undergo massive morphological changes that can be quantified. READ MORE

7. 10. Governing Development : The Millennium Development Goals and Gender Policy Change in Sub-Saharan Africa

   Author : Helena Hede Skagerlind; Jonas Tallberg; Kristina Jönsson; Jeffrey Checkel; Mathias Koenig-Archibugi; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Millennium Development Goals; sustainable development; gender equality; human rights; performance indicators; United Nations; Sub-Saharan Africa; Kenya; Ethiopia; economic conditionality; social influence; Political Science; statsvetenskap;

   Abstract : Recent decades have witnessed an upsurge in the use of different forms of global performance assessments as a means to influence the behavior of states. Within the area of international development, the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) reinforced the practice of development governance through global performance indicators (GPIs) and gained considerable agenda-setting power among the international development community.
