6. Information prior to prenatal diagnosis : Knowledge, informational needs and decision-making
Sammanfattning : The overall aim of this thesis was to explore different aspects of information relevant to decision-making regarding prenatal diagnosis (PND) for chromosomal anomalies (CA). In Papers I–II, women and partners undergoing combined ultrasound and biochemistry (CUB) tests, invasive tests or declining PND for CAs answered a questionnaire. LÄS MER
7. Health Monitoring for Aircraft Systems using Decision Trees and Genetic Evolution
Sammanfattning : Reducing unscheduled maintenance is important for aircraft operators. There are significant costs if flights must be delayed or cancelled, for example, if spares are not available and have to be shipped across the world. LÄS MER
8. Alcohol Consumption among Adolescents : Psychosocial and Genetic influences

One main objective was to study the reasons for drinking alcohol among different population - representative samples of adolescents in order to identify motives for drinking. LÄS MER
9. Effects of warming on the green alga Cladophora glomerata : Ecological and genetic responses
Sammanfattning : Since the beginning of the 20th century, average global surface temperature has increased ~0.7 °C and the current scenarios predict that it will continue to rise additional 2-4 °C during the 21st century. LÄS MER
10. Milk Genomics – Impact of Genetic Polymorphism on Bovine Milk Composition and Processability
Sammanfattning : Milk genomics is a new area of research that explores the relations between cow genetics and milk characteristics. Identifying the genes controlling compositional and technological traits of milk will give opportunities to select cows for targeted milk production. In this thesis, the impact of different genetic approaches, i.e. LÄS MER
