    Författare :Mickey Chopra; Lars-Åke Persson; Ted Greiner; Cesar Victora; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :HIV AIDS; Prevention of Mother to Child Transmission of HIV; infant feeding; child health; cohort study; health systems evaluation; effectiveness;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis assesses the effectiveness of the National Prevention of Mother to Child Transmission of HIV (PMTCT) programme in 3 sites in South Africa, and the quality of infant feeding counselling across four countries, Botswana, Kenya, Malawi and Uganda . Implementation and outcome of PMTCT services were very different across the 3 sites. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Developmental exposure to mixtures of persistent environmental pllutants with focus on bone and retinoid system modulations

    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Environmental pollution of Arctic regions has evoked a scientific as well as public concern. Arctic Inuit inhabitants consume large amounts of fatty fish and marine mammals and are therefore exposed to levels of environmental toxicants that are suspected to cause adverse health effects.

  5. 4. Distribution and abundance of genetic variation in the arctic fox

    Författare :Love Dalén; Anders Angerbjörn; Robert K. Wayne; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :population genetics; DNA; ecology; population history; gene flow; Alopex lagopus;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis investigates how changes in population size and spatial movements of individuals have shaped the distribution and abundance of neutral genetic variation in the arctic fox. This is done through mitochondrial and microsatellite DNA analyses on samples covering most of the species’ distribution, but with special emphasis on Scandinavia. LÄS MER
