1. Surface antigens and virulence in Plasmodium falciparum malaria
Sammanfattning : Plasmodium falciparum is an intracellular protozoan that may cause severe forms of malaria. It is a major world health hazard and reaps the highest toll among the children and pregnant mothers of the developing world. An Anopheles mosquito vector injects the pathogen when taking a blood meal. LÄS MER
2. Caught somewhere in time : polyagentive archaeology in the Maya Lowlands
Sammanfattning : .... LÄS MER
3. The roads in-between : causeways and polyagentive networks at Ichmul and Yo'okop, Cochuah Region, Mexico
Sammanfattning : This dissertation has two aims: (1) To characterize and abandon the humanocentric archaeology that relies upon quasi-objects and to develop the polyagentive archaeology that relies upon actualizations of the virtual. (2) To exemplify the latter approach by studying how causeways (sakbeob) in the Maya area relate to temporality and materialtiy at, and around, the two neighbouring sites of Ichmul and Yo'okop in the Cochuah region of southeast Yucatan and west-central Quintana Roo in Mexico.

4. Topics in optimal design of experiments
Sammanfattning : This thesis contributes to optimal design of experiments in situations where the optimal design depends on unknown parameters. Such situations often occur when the response variable does not have normal distribution, as is the case with many generalized linear models (GLM) and many models for binary response. LÄS MER
5. Dispersal of ticks and their microorganisms by African-Western Palaearctic migratory birds
Sammanfattning : In Europe, tick-borne diseases are the most widespread and common vector-borne diseases and their geographical distribution is increasing. The dispersal of ticks depends on the movements of their vertebrate hosts. Avian hosts are more likely to be involved in long-distance range expansion of ticks due to their migration pattern.
