1. 31. Essays on resource policy, gender and land rights

   Författare :Marit Widman; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
   Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES;

   Sammanfattning : This thesis consists of four papers. Articles I-III address gender aspects of land formalization and the role of land ownership for intra-household bargaining power. They draw on evidence from a land tenure reform in Madagascar implemented in 2005, a key component of which was to grant land certificates, i.e. LÄS MER

3. 32. Wetland Mitigation Banking in the United States

   Författare :Ville Pekka Tapani Inkinen; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; biodiversity; land use; offsetting; mitigation banking; wetlands;

   Sammanfattning : In this thesis, I study market-based biodiversity conservation policies in the context of the wetland compensatory mitigation program under the US Clean Water Act. The program requires developers to compensate for adverse impacts on wetlands by purchasing credits that specialized firms have generated in advance from wetland conservation activities. LÄS MER

4. 33. Pharmacological therapy in obstructive sleep apnea - Methodology and interventional aspects of carbonic anhydrase modulation

   Författare :Erik Hoff; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; obstructive sleep apnea; carbonic anhydrase; endotype; drug therapy; hypoxia; hypoxia-inducible factor 1α; placebo;

   Sammanfattning : BACKGROUND: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a highly prevalent disease with potential severe short- and long-term consequences such as daytime sleepiness and cardiovascular disease. Recurrent total or partial collapse of the upper airway during sleep leads to sleep fragmentation and intermittent hypoxia/hypercapnia. LÄS MER

5. 34. Regulators of chromatin and transcription in Drosophila

   Författare :Filip Crona; Mattias Mannervik; Fernando Azorin; Stockholms universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Transcription; chromatin; co-regulators; CBP; lysine demethylase; KDM4A; Brakeless; Drosophila; utvecklingsbiologi; Developmental Biology;

   Sammanfattning : Development of multicellular organisms is achieved by organized temporal and spatial patterns of gene expression leading to cell differentiation. Chromatin regulators control how the DNA is utilized by altering access of proteins to DNA and thereby function as co-factors in transcription. LÄS MER

7. 35. Improving the accuracy of gene regulatory network inference from noisy data

   Författare :Deniz Seçilmiş; Erik L.L. Sonnhammer; Pierre Geurts; Stockholms universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Biochemistry towards Bioinformatics; biokemi med inriktning mot bioinformatik;

   Sammanfattning : Gene regulatory networks (GRNs) control physiological and pathological processes in a living organism, and their accurate inference from measured gene expression can identify therapeutic mechanisms for complex diseases such as cancers. The biggest obstacle in achieving the accurate reconstruction of GRNs is called ‘noise’, which considerably alters the measured gene expression because the noise generally dominates the biological signal.
