   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; performance; microclimate; spatial scales; continental; landscape; distribution patterns; distribution limits; phenology; vegetative development; reproductive development; vital rates; population growth rate; vascular plants; bryophytes; distribution modelling; Plant Ecology; växtekologi;

   Abstract : Microclimatic gradients may have large influence on individual vital rates and population growth rates of species, and limit their distributions. Therefore, I focused on the influence of microclimate on individual performance and distribution of species. READ MORE

4. 2. Effects of temperature and terrestrial carbon on fish growth and pelagic food web efficiency

   Author : Robert Lefébure; Ulf Båmstedt; Pär Byström; Stefan Larsson; Agneta Andersson; Lars-Gösta Rudstam; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Attack rates; Bacterial production; Climate change; Critical resource density; Growth rates; Microbial food web; Three-spined stickleback;

   Abstract : Both temperature and terrestrial dissolved organic carbon (TDOC) have strong impacts on aquatic food web dynamics and production. Temperature affects vital rates of all organisms and terrestrial carbon has been shown to alter the dynamics of phytoplankton and bacterial production and affect the trophic structure of planktonic food webs.

5. 3. Vital exhaustion and coronary artery disease in women : biological correlates and behavioral intervention

   Author : Jenny Koertge; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : Vital exhaustion; coronary artery disease; women; behavioral intervention;

   Abstract : Background: Vital exhaustion - a state characterized by unusual fatigue, irritability, and demoralization - is a predictor of coronary heart disease (CHD). The physiological mechanisms mediating this effect are not fully understood. Vital exhaustion may be decreased by means of behavioral modification. READ MORE

7. 5. On failures and complications of tooth-supported fixed prostheses

   Author : Mohammed Hawthan; Christel Larsson; Bruno Ramos Chrcanovic; Ulf Örtengren; Malmö universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

   Abstract : Loss of tooth structure or loss of the tooth may affect masticatory function, phonetics, a person´s appearance, and might ultimately impair quality of life. Fixed prosthetic rehabilitation in the form of either fixed dental prosthesis (FDP)or single crown (SC) is a reliable treatment alternative to restore lost functions. READ MORE
