1. Discovery of Novel Receptors for Lipid Mediators - a study leading to the identification of receptors involved in metabolism and the immune system
Sammanfattning : Intercellular communication is of crucial importance in regulating physiology and G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) have evolved as an important mechanism in this process. Of the approximately 800 human GPCRs, about 160 are still considered to be “orphan” receptors for which an endogenous ligand remains to be identified. LÄS MER
2. Mast Cell Migration in Inflammatory Diseases
Sammanfattning : Mast cells (MCs) are forceful multifunctional effector cells of the immune system. MCs are normally distributed throughout connective and mucosal tissues, but in several pathological conditions accumulation of MCs occur. LÄS MER
3. Robust design : Accounting for uncertainties in engineering
Sammanfattning : This thesis concerns optimization of structures considering various uncertainties. The overall objective is to find methods to create solutions that are optimal both in the sense of handling the typical load case and minimising the variability of the response, i.e. robust optimal designs.

4. Börsbolags redovisning av alternativa resultatbegrepp : En studie om hur, och varför, bolag noterade på Stockholmsbörsen redovisar Non-GAAP Measures
Sammanfattning : It has become common for listed companies to present earnings measures undefined by GAAP. These measures are commonly referred to as Non-GAAP Measures, or in short: NGM. LÄS MER
5. Blindness and Second Language Acquisition : Studies of Cognitive Advantages in Blind L1 and L2 speakers
Sammanfattning : The aim of this study is to investigate whether blind individuals display cognitive advantages over sighted individuals with regard to second language acquisition. Previous studies from neuropsychology have indicated that this is the case. LÄS MER
