Paper I: Greenhouse gas taxes on animal food products - rationale, tax scheme and climate mitigation effects
Agriculture is responsible for 25–30% of global anthropogenic greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions but has thus far ...
Electromechanical Phenomena in Superconducting and Normal Nanostructures
(2013-05-08)
This thesis summarizes a series of theoretical studies on the electromechanical properties of nanostructures made of superconducting and/or metallic elements. The first part of the work is devoted to the analysis of the ...
Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction; Randomized Trials, Register Studies and Experimental Analysis of Knee Laxity
(2013-05-02)
The aim of this thesis was to evaluate the short- and mid-term outcome of Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) reconstruction, with special emphasis on surgical techniques, type of autograft and the influence of gender, using ...
Hereditary diffuse leukoencephalopathy with spheroids: Insights into an adult onset neurodegenerative disease
(2013-03-25)
During the last three decades, the areas of inherited white matter (WM) disorders
have expanded. Advances in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and genetics have
led to increased detection of adult-onset WM disorders. ...
Arthroscopic Bankart reconstruction using different absorbable tacks. The clinical results, radiographic findings and effect on calcaneal bone mineral
(2013-11-04)

The aim of the thesis was to explore the clinical and radiographic results after post- traumatic anterior shoulder instability treated with arthroscopic Bankart surgery using absorbable tacks with different ...
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 ...
Vectorcardiographic evaluation of ventricular repolarization in healthy individuals and LQTS mutation carriers
(2013-08-27)
Ventricular arrhythmia is a well-known cause of syncopal attacks and sudden cardiac death in humans. Ventricular repolarization (VR) is the most unstable phase in cardiac electrical activity and its regulation depends on ...
