11. Arnold-type invariants of curves and wave fronts on surfaces
Sammanfattning : This thesis is devoted to the study of invariants of generic curves and wave fronts on surfaces. The invariants J± and St were axiomatically defined by Arnold as numerical characteristics of generic curves (immersions of the circle)on ℝ2 he introduced J± in the case of generic planar wave fronts.

12. Field Theories and Vortices with Nontrivial Geometry
Sammanfattning : This thesis investigates aspects of field theories and soliton solutions with nontrivial topology. In particular we explore the following effective models: a limited sector of the scalar Electroweak theory called extended Abelian Higgs model, and a classical mechanics model derived from the low energy SU(2) Yang-Mills theory.

13. Tying the knot between faculty development and educational change in clinical settings
Sammanfattning : Clinical workplaces offer important learning experiences for the next generation of health professionals, and clinicians serving as supervisors and educators are a critical determinant of the quality of learning in these settings. However, many clinicians are unprepared for their educational roles, and the complexity and changing nature of health care present substantial challenges that threaten the quality of clinical education.

14. Root-knot nematodes and coffee in Nicaragua : management systems, species identification and genetic diversity
Sammanfattning : The coffee production is affected by several limiting factors such as parasitic nematodes. Plant-parasitic nematodes have a substantial economic impact on coffee production in most countries and they are regarded as one of the major limiting factors in coffee production and worldwide coffee losses have been estimated to about 15%.

15. Individual-tree-selection in uneven-sized Norway spruce stands in southern Sweden : Developments of tools for simulation and optimization
Sammanfattning : Individual-tree-selection (ITS) is a continuous cover forestry method that aims to utilize the uneven-sized stand structure through optimized individual tree selections. ITS is an interesting management alternative to rotation forestry in terms of production of multiple benefits and forest owner profitability. LÄS MER
