11. Molecular population genetics of inducible defense genes in Populus tremula
Sammanfattning : Plant-herbivore interactions are among the most common of ecological interactions. It is therefore not surprising that plants have evolved multiple mechanisms to defend themselves, using both constitutive chemical and physical barriers and by induced responses which are only expressed after herbivory has occurred.

12. A behavioral defense against disease
Sammanfattning : Animals, including humans, have evolved under the continuous selection pressure posed by pathogens. As a result, we have developed a set of physiological mechanisms to combat pathogens – the immune system. However, engaging the immune system in this battle can be costly, unnecessarily so in cases when pathogens can be avoided. LÄS MER

How these parallel outcomes are reflected in the civic sphere, largely for those mostly affected, i.e. the urban grassroots, is the focus of this study. LÄS MER
14. HOST DEFENSE PEPTIDES OF THE COAGULATION SYSTEM AND THEIR THERAPEUTIC POTENTIAL
Sammanfattning : Prevention and control of infectious diseases is seriously hampered by an increasing prevalence of bacteria that are resistant towards conventional antibiotics. Resistant bacteria are often the root cause of infections that trigger the complex clinical syndrome called sepsis, which is a concern for high morbidity and mortality. LÄS MER
15. Design Principles for Network Distributed Denial of Service Defense
Sammanfattning : People, organizations and society are become more and more dependent upon access to Information Systems. Most Information Systems are accessible via the Internet. It is becoming easier and easier to perform successful network attacks against these Information Systems, which causes the system to become unavailable for its intended users. LÄS MER
