All their life, individuals have to make decisions that may strongly affect their fitness. To optimise their decisions, they can use personally acquired information but also information obtained from observing other individuals (“social information”).

The aim of this thesis was to explore women’s acute and longstanding experiences of taxane-induced pain, to evaluate the pain intensity and distribution using different assessment methods, and to study nurses´ perceptions of taxane-induced pain in people with breast cancer.

To answer major evolutionary questions, we need a better understanding of the effects of mutations on specific functions and organism fitness. The aim of this thesis was to elucidate how new functions evolve and potential trade-offs with the original function.

Dynamic modelling of physical processes i magnetic systems: Dyke emplacement and flow-induced crystal rotations.

The main motivation for this thesis is to develop and improve numerical tools and methods that help further our comprehension of the volcanic plumbing system and its dynamics.

Even the most obvious actions require justification. The need for justification of peacebuilding involvements is always present. This thesis argues that justification is particularly needed when there is a prevalent power asymmetry between an external state and a host community.

On November 30, Ms. Ohlsson will be defending her dissertation "On the Ethics of External States in Peacebuilding – A Critical Study of Justification". Faculty opponent is Associate Prof Pamela Slotte (Helsinki University). Grading Committee: Assosiate Prof Elisabeth Gerle (Lund), Prof Helena Lindholm (Gothenburg), and Prof Ruben G. Apressyan (Moscow). Chair: Prof Elena Namli.

Titel: Towards new Tools for Clinical evaluation and visualization of tumor growth in patients with glioma.

This book investigates the argument from queerness against moral realism, famously put forward by J. L. Mackie in Ethics: Inventing Right and Wrong (1977).

This thesis encompasses theoretical and computational studies of strongly correlated electron systems. Understanding how electrons in solids interact with each other is of great importance for future technology and other applications.

The aim of this thesis was to explore the associations between perinatal complications and perinatal maternal health, with emphasis on postpartum depressive symptoms (PPDS) and neuroticism taking into account potential confounding or mediating factors such as history of depression, antenatal depressive symptoms and delivery experience.

The aim of the thesis was to evaluate and hopefully define tumoral predictive markers for treatment with the common TKIs sunitinib and sorafenib.

Ocean energy is a growing field when it comes to renewable energy thanks to its high density of energy per unit area, and to the high predictability. Conversion of hydrokinetic energy, found in marine currents, is the utilization of the energy in free-flowing water for conversion to electric energy. This thesis presents experimental data from a test site with a marine current converter.

The overall aim of this qualitative study was to explore the function of religion and volunteer workers in religious organizations in contributing to the reconstruction and development of existential meaning and psychosocial well-being regarding the 2011 Great East Japan earthquake and tsunami.

In this thesis, we evaluate the outcome of two faster implant protocols, in patients with compromised alveolar bone.

The overarching purpose of this thesis was to improve early recognition of both disability and ability in young autistic children. Three studies were conducted in a largely overlapping sample of 3-year-old high-risk-for-ASD siblings, either with or without ASD, and low-risk-for-ASD siblings.

Title: Anxious personality traits in pregnancy - associations with postpartum depression, delivery complications and Health care consumption

Anxious personality traits, including those encompassed by negative emotionality (neuroticism) and the tendency to worry about close relationships (attachment anxiety) during pregnancy were the focus of this thesis. The overall aim was to examine perinatal correlates of these characteris-tics in terms of psychiatric and obstetric health as well as antenatal care (ANC).

This thesis investigates the electronic structures on several perovskite oxide and halide materials with a focus on light harvesting applications.

In this thesis the links between housing tenure, income and selective, segregation generating, residential mobility are explored. The development of these links is analysed against the background of housing regime changes in Stockholm between 1990 and 2014.

Protein assembly enables complex machineries while being economical with genetic information. However, protein assembly also constitutes a potential threat to the host, and needs to be carefully regulated.

The aim of this thesis was to develop new models, that by acknowledging the complexity of the data captures more information, and novel methodologies for model evaluation, as well as applying models to improve study designs, with practical illustrations in the therapeutic area of diabetes. Two new models were developed.

When a program is compiled and run on a modern architecture, different optimizations may be applied to gain in efficiency. In particular, the access operations (e.g., read and write) to the shared memory may be performed in an out-of-order manner, i.e., in a different order than the order in which the operations have been issued by the program.
