16. Hypospadias : analysis of a complex genetic disorder
Sammanfattning : BACKGROUND: Hypospadias is a common inborn error of the male urethra that involves an abnormally placed urethral opening. Its complex etiology is largely elusive to date. Twin and familial studies highlight a genetic background in hypospadias. Environmental factors have also been identified, particularly the exposure to endocrine disrupters. LÄS MER
17. Depression : genetic, epigenetic and DNA biobank studies
Sammanfattning : Depression is a disease that has an estimated lifetime prevalence of ~15% and a heritability of ~36%. There is support for a heterogeneous etiology of depression, which includes: a) numerous genetic loci, b) various epigenetic contributors, and c) different environmental risk factors. LÄS MER
18. Generation and Optimization of Motor Behaviors in Real and Simulated Robots
Sammanfattning : In this thesis, the problems of generating and optimizing motor behaviors for both simulated and real, physical robots have been investigated, using the paradigms of evolutionary robotics and behavior-based robotics. Specifically, three main topics have been considered: (1) On-line evolutionary optimization of hand-coded gaits for real, physical bipedal robots. LÄS MER
19. Evolutionary Humanoids for Embodied Artificial Intelligence
Sammanfattning : The work presented in this thesis aims at investigating the potential of a proposed methodology to create a cognitive control architecture for a humanoid robot. This architecture comprises three hierarchical layers: the reactive layer, the model building layer, and the reasoning layer. LÄS MER
20. Fetal programming and subsequent risks in adulthood : are the associations confounded by genetic and/or environmental factors?
Sammanfattning : The fetal origins hypothesis proposes that fetal growth is inversely associated with subsequent adult disease risk. The objective of this thesis was to investigate whether familial (shared environmental and genetic) factors confound the association between birth weight and risks of hypertension, low intellectual performance, and type-2 diabetes.
