1. Evolutionary Ecology of Floral Traits in Fragrant Orchids
Sammanfattning : Why are flowers so diverse? Much of floral evolution is thought to be driven by pollinator-mediated selection. However, the connection between macroevolutionary patterns of floral diversity and microevolutionary processes remains poorly understood. In this thesis, I have used the fragrant orchids Gymnadenia conopsea s.s. LÄS MER
2. Pharmacometric Methods and Novel Models for Discrete Data
Sammanfattning : Pharmacodynamic processes and disease progression are increasingly characterized with pharmacometric models. However, modelling options for discrete-type responses remain limited, although these response variables are commonly encountered clinical endpoints. Types of data defined as discrete data are generally ordinal, e.g. LÄS MER
3. Metal and microplastic treatment in stormwater bioretention
Sammanfattning : Metals and microplastic particles are common stormwater pollutants, which can be harmful when released to the environment. The aim of this thesis is to increase the understanding of the treatment of metals and their different fractions, as well as microplastic, in bioretention systems. LÄS MER
4. Diet and sarcopenia risk in community-dwelling older European adults
Sammanfattning : The age-related decline in muscle strength and muscle mass can lead to sarcopenia with higher risk of falls, disability, and loss of independence. In this context, healthy dietary habits have the potential to delay onset of physical limitations, thereby promoting healthy ageing. LÄS MER
5. Skeletal Muscle Mass & Function in Older Women : Health-Enhancing Influences of Combined Resistance Exercise & Diet
Sammanfattning : Ageing is accompanied by a progressive decline in skeletal muscle mass and strength which may lead to impaired ability to perform activities of daily living in older adults. Although the exact cause of the gradual decline in muscle mass is unknown, identifying efficient strategies aiming to prevent age-related loss of muscle mass and strength is important in order to promote healthy ageing.
