  1. 11. Intimate relationships and olfaction : Body odors, adult attachment, and romance

    Författare :Anna Blomkvist; Pehr Granqvist; Ilona Croy; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Intimate relationships; olfaction; body odor; attachment; sexual well-being; romantic relationships; infidelity; caregiving; intimacy; odors; psykologi; Psychology;

    Sammanfattning : Odors influence several aspects of life, such as thoughts, memories, decisions, and emotions. Numerous studies have shown that human behavior can be affected by odors in different contexts. One such context is social relationships, in which body odors play a role. LÄS MER

  3. 12. Human newborn behavior during exposure to maternal and other odors

    Författare :Heili Varendi; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Olfaction appears to play a pivotal role in immediate postnatal interactions between mammalian mothers and their offspring. The present study examined: (1) whether and how the newborn human infant and its mother communicate by means of olfaction; (2) the role of amniotic fluid (AF) and breast odors in such communication; (3) olfactory learning by neonates.

  4. 13. Island biogeography and population divergence in the Skyros wall lizard

    Författare :Anna Runemark; Biologiska institutionen; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Podarcis gaigeae; inbreeding; predation release; polymorphism; island gigantism; the island rule; genetic drift; sexual selection; natural selection; island biology; Evolution;

    Sammanfattning : Islands are cradles for new biodiversity and provide natural laboratories for the study of population divergence. In my thesis, I investigated the role of different evolutionary processes in the population divergence in the Skyros wall lizard (Podarcis gaigeae), a species where islet populations have strongly diverged morphologies.

  5. 14. Polarization transfer solid-state NMR for studying soft matter: From surfactants to the stratum corneum

    Författare :Agnieszka Nowacka; Fysikalisk kemi; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Sammanfattning : The work presented in this thesis is dedicated to theoretical development, experimental testing and application of polarization transfer solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (PT ssNMR). PT ssNMR is an analytical tool which provides detailed information about molecular mobility in model or simple soft matter systems at the low water content regime, enabling the creation of phase diagrams.
