1. The Role of Emotion in the Interpretation of Sounds
Sammanfattning : Historically there has been a conceptual distinction between reason and passion, i.e. emotions and higher levels of cognitive processing has been viewed apart from each other and studied separately. Recent research suggest a more dynamic interaction where the emotional responses may affect several aspects of higher level cognitive functioning. LÄS MER
2. Monitoring biodiversity in cultural landscapes: development of remote sensing- and GIS-based methods
Sammanfattning : In this thesis, I explore the relationships between structural and compositional landscape properties, and species diversity, using remotely sensed data on a variety of spatial scales. The thesis shows that increased landscape heterogeneity, measured using environmental and spectral variables that were used both separately and combined, is generally positively related to plant species richness.

3. Ett liv att leva : Om familjer, funktionshinder och vardagens villkor
Sammanfattning : The thesis deals with everyday life in families where a child is born with an impairment and also, to a certain extent, with the lives of adults suffering from the same disability. The parents' way of managing life with a disabled child is of great importance for the child" s perception of itself, as well as its future development. LÄS MER
4. Impact of climate warming on Arctic plant diversity: phylogenetic diversity unravels opposing shrub responses in a warming tundra
Sammanfattning : The Arctic biome is at significant risk, with recent observations suggesting that climate change is warming the Arctic nearly four times faster than the global average. Last decade, evidence from experimental warming studies and observations of ambient warming over time shows how increasing air temperature in the Arctic has led to changes to arctic vegetation, and encroachment of trees and shrubs into the tundra.

5. Statistically Guided Visualization and Exploratory Analysis of Omics Data
Sammanfattning : This thesis deals with methods for extracting robust and relevant information from high-dimensional data sets, and statistically guided visualization methods for representing the data in an informative and easily accessible way. High-dimensional data sets are becoming increasingly prevalent in many different scientific disciplines. LÄS MER
