1. 16. Residual Analysis in the GMANOVA-MANOVA Model

   Författare :Béatrice Byukusenge; Dietrich von Rosen; Martin Singull; Daniel Klein; Linköpings universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

   Sammanfattning : This thesis focuses on the establishment and analysis of residuals in the so called GMANOVA-MANOVA model. The model is a special case of the Extended Growth Curve Model. It has two terms where one term models the profiles (growth curves) and the other the covariables of interest. LÄS MER

3. 17. Of Mangroves and Middlemen : A study of social and ecological linkages in a coastal community

   Författare :Beatrice Crona; Patrik Rönnbäck; Nils Kautsky; Neil Adger; Stockholms universitet; []
   Nyckelord :mangroves; restoration; ecosystem goods and services; natural resource management; local ecological knowledge; social networks; social-ecological systems; East Africa; co-management; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP;

   Sammanfattning : This thesis studies some of the links between the social and ecological components in a coastal Social-Ecological System (SES) of East Africa to gain insight into factors affecting natural resource management at a community level. It does so by assessing the return of ecosystem goods and services in restored mangroves through both ecological and socio-economic measurements, and by empirically studying variations and diversity in content of local ecological knowledge among resource users, its relation to valuation of ecosystem goods and services and its distribution across a social network.

4. 18. Planning for Sustainable Use of Water

   Författare :Beatrice Hedelin; Bengt Månsson; Tuija Hilding-Rydevik; Karlstads universitet; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Sustainable development; water; planning process; criteria; Water Framework Directive WFD ; participation; Miljö- och energisystem; Environmental and Energy Systems;

   Sammanfattning : The basic problem that this work wishes to address concerns the  unsustainable use of water resources in many places of the world. In some places, the problem leads to human suffering and death while also obstructing social and economic development. LÄS MER

5. 19. Childhood bereavement, stress resilience, and cancer risk : an integrated register-based approach

   Författare :Beatrice Kennedy; Katja Fall; Fang Fang; Unnur Valdimarsdottír; Scott Montgomery; Meena Kumari; Örebro universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; alcohol; bereavement; cancer; drug use; epidemiology; health behaviour; psychological resilience; smoking; stress;

   Sammanfattning : Accumulating evidence suggests that psychosocial stress and susceptibility to stressful exposures – stress resilience – influence the risk of various health outcomes, but the potential link with cancer occurrence is unclear. The aims of this thesis were to test if loss of a close relative, a marker of severe psychological stress, and stress resilience measured during late adolescence are associated with cancer risk later in life, as well as to explore potential underlying mechanisms.

7. 20. Adaptation Along Environmental Gradients: an Evaluation of Physiological Mechanisms and Ecological Constraints

   Författare :Beatrice Lindgren; Anssi Laurila; Jacob Höglund; Svante Winberg; Andrew Sih; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :Biology; Rana temporaria; latitudinal clines; growth rate; growth efficiency; SMR; predation; competition; trade-off; Biologi;

   Sammanfattning : For ectotherms living in seasonal environments, time available for development and growth is often constrained by the length of the growth season. Declining season length towards higher latitudes often select for latitudinal clines in development and growth rates, exhibiting increasing growth and developmental rates towards the north. LÄS MER
