1. Nerve Growth Factor and its association to osteoarthritis in the horse
Sammanfattning : Osteoarthritis is common in horses and is a cause of pain and compromised welfare. Osteoarthritis-associated pain in horses is currently diagnosed by subjective and objective measurements of joint pain; however, there is a need to develop methods for evaluation of the systemic osteoarthritic pain that has been recognised in other species.

2. Computational Studies and Design of Biomolecular Diels-Alder Catalysis
Sammanfattning : The Diels-Alder reaction is one of the most powerful synthetic tools in organic chemistry, and asymmetric Diels-Alder catalysis allows for rapid construction of chiral carbon scaffolds. For this reason, considerable effort has been invested in developing efficient and stereoselective organo- and biocatalysts. LÄS MER
3. Fears, anxieties and cognitive-behavioral treatment of specific phobias in youth
Sammanfattning : The present dissertation consists of three empirical studies on children and adolescents presenting with various specific phobias in Stockholm, Sweden and in Virginia, USA. The overall aim was to contribute to our understanding of childhood fears, anxiety and phobias and to evaluate the efficacy and portability of a one-session treatment of specific phobias in youth.

4. The cellular processing of the endocannabinoid anandamide and its pharmacological manipulation
Sammanfattning : Anandamide (arachidonoyl ethanolamide, AEA) and 2-arachidonoyl glycerol (2-AG) exert most of their actions by binding to cannabinoid receptors. The effects of the endocannabinoids are short-lived due to rapid cellular accumulation and metabolism, for AEA, primarily by the enzymes fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH). LÄS MER
5. Climate Change Effects on Rainfall and Management of Urban Flooding
Sammanfattning : Flooding in urban basins is intensifying due to increasing urbanization and climate change and variability. This thesis presents how the effects of climate change and high-intensive rainfall on the urban drainage system and management of flooding in urban areas of were studied in Mumbai, India and Southern Sweden, including Skåne and Gothenburg.
