A contribution to the design and analysis of phase III clinical trials
(2013-11-08)Clinical trials are an established methodology for evaluation of the effects of a new medical treatment. These trials are usually divided into several phases, namely phase I through IV. The earlier phases (I and II) are ... -
Epoxides as Contact Allergens - Formation, Sensitising Potency and Structure-Activity Relationships
(2013-10-31)Chemicals in our environment with which we have repeated skin contact can cause skin sensitisation (contact allergy). To trigger an immune response a compound (hapten) must be able to penetrate the skin, where it needs to ... -
Tracking mathematical giftedness in an egalitarian context
(2013-10-31)In three different studies upper secondary school head teachers’ characterization and identification of mathematical giftedness was investigated. A survey study (Paper II) explored the conceptions held by 36 randomly ... -

(University of Gothenburg / Göteborgs universitet, 2012)The report Urban Climate and Air pollution in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso contains an overview of results from five field studies as well as suggestions for air pollution mitigation strategies suitable for Ouagadougou. -
The Linnaeus-Palme Exchange program
(University of Gothenburg / Göteborgs Universitet, 2013)The report is an evaluation of five years of Linnaeus-Palme exchange programme between the chemistry departments at University of Gothenburg, Sweden and University of the West Indies, Jamaica. The exchange programme gives ... -
On the Efficacy and Ecotoxicity of Antifouling Biocides Lethal and Sublethal Effects on Target and Non-target Organisms
(2013-10-23)From an environmental perspective, there is a need to reduce the amount of biocides from antifouling paints in the marine ecosystem as these biocides can exert a negative effect on the marine life. One way to do this is ... -
On Biogenic Halocarbons in Antarctic Waters
(2013-10-17)Little is known regarding the distribution of naturally produced volatile halogenated organic compounds, halocarbons, in Antarctic waters and the contribution of these waters to the global atmospheric load of halogens. In ... -
Development and use of an optical pCO2 sensor in marine studies
(2013-10-04)Partial pressure of CO2 (pCO2) is one of the most important parameters, which are measured in the global ocean in conjunction with ocean acidification studies. It is also a parameter of great interest to aquaculture and ... -
Modelling the Dissolved Inorganic Carbon System in the Baltic Sea
(2013-10-04)Oceans are capable of storing part of the emitted anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO2) due to the formation of carbonic acid and subsequent dissociation. CO2 is also assimilated by biota and the inorganic carbon system is ... -
Frontiers of Multilingual Grammar Development
(2013-09-30)The thesis explores a number of ways for developing multilingual grammars written in GF (Grammatical Framework). The goal is to enhance both the coverage of the grammars, in terms of content and number of languages, and ... -
Character and Function of Anammox Bacteria under Environmental Stress
(2013-09-16)During the last few decades observations of novel processes involved in nitrogen transformations have fundamentally challenged the view of pathways and controlling mechanisms during local and global nitrogen cycling. ... -
Ecotoxicology of antifouling biocides - with special focus on the novel antifoulant medetomidine and microbial communities
(2013-09-16)Marine biofouling, growth on submerged surfaces, is a problem for the commercial shipping industry but also for recreational boat owners. It leads to increased fuel consumption, loss of maneuverability and is a source of ... -
Stochastic Models in Phylogenetic Comparative Methods: Analytical Properties and Parameter Estimation
(2013-09-16)Phylogenetic comparative methods are well established tools for using inter-species variation to analyse phenotypic evolution and adaptation. They are generally hampered, however, by predominantly univariate approaches and ... -
Rainfall variability, soils and land use changes in the Ethiopian highlands
(2013-09-16)Most farmers in the Ethiopian highlands are dependent on rain-fed agriculture. The indigenous cereal tef is the most important crop for the farmers in the highlands. The central highland is an environmentally fragile area ... -
Trans-life Cycle Impacts of Ocean Acidification on the Green Sea Urchin Strongylocentrotus droebachiensis
(2013-09-16)This thesis studies the impacts of ocean acidification on an ecologically and economically important invertebrate of the Nordic waters: the green sea urchin Strongylocentrotus droebachiensis. Acidification affects the ... -
Allergenic Oxidation Products from Fragrance Terpenes. Chemical Analysis and Determination of Sensitizing Potency
(2013-09-05)The ubiquitous presence of fragrance compounds in consumer products has resulted in a high frequency of contact allergy to fragrances in the population. For prevention purposes and according to EU regulations, cosmetics ... -
Development of novel serotonin 5-HT6 and dopamine D2 receptor ligands and MAO A inhibitors - Synthesis, structure-activity relationships and pharmacological characterization
(2013-09-05)It is known since the 1950s that enhancement of the levels of the monoamines dopamine (DA), serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT) and norepinephrine (NE) in the brain will relieve the symptoms of major depression, and ... -
Environmental drivers of gelatinous zooplankton distribution. Mnemiopsis in the Swedish waters
(2013-09-02)Factors governing zooplankton distributions and dispersal have since long interested pelagic ecologists. This thesis presents studies of how the interaction between gelatinous zooplankton and the environment can shape their ... -
What makes Elysia viridis tick? Fitness consequences of diet selection and kleptoplasty.
(2013-09-02)Understanding the mechanisms involved in resource use by an organism is pivotal to understanding its ecology. A conspecific population that as a whole demonstrates a generalist pattern of resource use may in fact consist ...
