1. Developing child protection strategies: a critical study of offenders’ use of information technology for the sexual exploitation of children
Sammanfattning : The overall aim of this thesis is to critically explore offenders’ use of information technology for the sexual exploitation of children, focusing upon child abusive material and grooming, in relation to the societal response, i.e. legal and technological regulation models. LÄS MER
2. Roughest hour – approaches to ship hull fouling management
Sammanfattning : Submerged surfaces at sea are colonized by a high diversity of sessile (i.e. attached) life forms. As the merchant fleet capacity increases, responding to growth in demand for seaborne transport, so does the hull wetted surface area that is prone to colonization by these sessile organisms, i.

3. The Enemy Below - Adhesion and Friction of Ship Hull Fouling
Sammanfattning : Below the waterline, commercial ships are good targets for marine organisms to attach and proliferate, a problem commonly known as biofouling. A fouled hull means higher hydrodynamic resistance, which can result in significant fuel penalties. LÄS MER
4. Appetite-regulating peptides and natural rewards: emphasis on ghrelin and glucagon-like peptide-1
Sammanfattning : Evolutionary conserved natural behaviors, such as foraging and sexual behaviors, are strongly associated with reward processes. Brain areas important for reward processes include, but are not limited to, the nucleus accumbens (NAc) shell, the ventral tegmental area (VTA), the laterodorsal tegmental area (LDTg) and the nucleus of the solitary tract (NTS).

5. Behaviour of Pine Sawflies in Relation to Pheromone-Based Pest Management
Sammanfattning : Pine sawflies (Hymenoptera: Diprionidae) are severe pine defoliators. This thesis investigated sawfly behaviour related to the use of pheromones in integrated pest management, including monitoring with pheromone traps and mating disruption. LÄS MER
