1. Speciation and Metabolic rate : Insights from an avian hybrid zone
Sammanfattning : The role of divergent climate adaptation in speciation has received surprisingly little scientific attention. My dissertation research focused on how resting metabolic rate (RMR) relates to the build up of prezygotic and postzygotic isolation in a natural Ficedula flycatcher hybrid zone. LÄS MER
2. Function and Adaptation of Acidophiles in Natural and Applied Communities
Sammanfattning : Acidophiles are organisms that have evolved to grow optimally at high concentrations of protons. Members of this group are found in all three domains of life, although most of them belong to the Archaea and Bacteria. LÄS MER
3. Being Born Large for Gestational Age : Metabolic and Epidemiological Studies
Sammanfattning : Obesity is a major health problem in the Western world. Mean birth weight has increased during the last 25 years. One explanation is that the proportion of large for gestational age (LGA) infants has increased. Such infants risk developing obesity, cardiovascular disease and diabetes later in life. LÄS MER
4. Psychological and Medical Well-being and their Relation in Adults with Insulin-Dependent Diabetes Mellitus
Sammanfattning : This thesis includes five studies involving different samples of adult patients with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM). Studies one and two concern effects on metabolic control and quality of life of changing from conventional insulin treatment with three syringe injections per day to an intensified insulin treatment with three syringe injections daily using an insulin pen.

5. Enzyme Cold Adaptation through Evolution of Protein Flexibility
Sammanfattning : What lives, evolves. Macromolecular catalysis is a process, central to both evolutionary and metabolic aspect of life, as it provides a systematic bias favouring certain chemical processes. LÄS MER
