    Sammanfattning : The primary objective of this thesis was to investigate the sterol metabolism of two pathogenic oomycetes, specifically the processes of sterol synthesis and sterol acquisition in the fish pathogen Saprolegnia parasitica (Saprolegniales) and the plant pathogen Phytophthora infestans (Peronosporales). Furthermore, the effects of steroidal glycoalkaloids from Solanaceous plants, on P. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Does health insurance contribute to improving responsiveness of the health system? : the case of elderly in rural Tanzania

    Författare :Paul Joseph Amani; Miguel San Sebastian; Anna-Karin Hurtig; Isabel Goicolea; Angwara Denis Kiwara; John Porter; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; SAGE; health insurance; healthcare use; older people; community health fund; rural; responsiveness; Tanzania;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Financing healthcare in Tanzania has for years depended on out-of-pocket payments. This mechanism has been criticized as being inefficient, contributing to inequity and high cost as well as denying access to healthcare to those most in need, including the elderly in rural areas.

  5. 4. Insights into key processes governing atmospheric aerosol loadings and their interactions with clouds

    Författare :Emelie Linnéa Graham; Ilona Riipinen; Claudia Mohr; Paul Zieger; Annica M. L. Ekman; Marianne Glasius; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Applied Environmental Science; tillämpad miljövetenskap;

    Sammanfattning : Aerosol particles are ubiquitous in the atmosphere and an essential part of the atmospheric radiation balance regulating the Earth’s temperature. Aerosol-cloud interaction still remains the largest single uncertainty in future climate projections. In addition, aerosols are also responsible for air pollution, causing severe health effects.

  7. 5. Tracing and apportioning sources of dioxins using multivariate pattern recognition techniques

    Författare :Anteneh Assefa; Mats Professor; Karin Professor; Paul Professor; Patrik Andersson; Shigeki Masunaga; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxin; polychlorinated dibenzofuran; positive matrix fac- torization; PMF; principal component analysis; PCA; Baltic Sea; sediment core; PCDD F; sources; marine; fish; environmental half-live; peak year; peak level; temporal trend; spatial variation; coastal; offshore; chemical fingerprint; Environmental Science; miljövetenskap;

    Sammanfattning : High levels of polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDD/Fs) in edible fish in the Baltic Sea have raised health concerns in the Baltic region and the rest of Europe. Thus, there are urgent needs to characterize sources in order to formulate effective mitigation strategies. LÄS MER
