1. 6. Natural occurrence of Strongyloides spp. in vervet monkeys (Chlorocebus pygerythrus) in Kuti Wildlife reserve, Malawi : assessment of correlation between anthropogenic disturbance and Strongyloides spp. infection

   Uppsats för yrkesexamina på avancerad nivå, SLU/Dept. of Clinical Sciences

   Författare :Ana-Marija Camber; [2020]
   Nyckelord :vervet monkeys; parasite; strongyloides fuelleborni; strongyloides stercoralis; anthroponotic;

   Sammanfattning : The geographic overlap between non-human primates and people is increasing, especially in tropical and subtropical countries. This inevitably creates a potential for anthropogenic and zoonotic transmission of parasites, which could harm both wildlife and human communities. Strongyloides spp. LÄS MER

3. 7. Taking back the city : Citizen participation in urban planning in Dublin, Ireland

   Master-uppsats, Stockholms universitet/Kulturgeografiska institutionen

   Författare :Yutaka Kumagai; [2019]
   Nyckelord :Citizen participation; urban planning; post-politics; revanchism; urban political ecology; gentrification;

   Sammanfattning : As we find ourselves in the midst of a planetary trend towards urbanisation, we must acknowledge that urban spaces are linked in a network of metabolic consumption and production that impact not only those recognised as ‘urban dwellers’, but are incorporated into a global structure. Ireland is no exception, with development centred around Dublin, a ‘primate city’ with a vastly larger population than others in the region. LÄS MER

4. 8. Training of spider monkeys in a food-rewarded two-choice olfactory discrimination paradigm and assessment of olfactory learning and memory performance

   Master-uppsats, Linköpings universitet/Biologi

   Författare :Emmi Aineslahti; [2019]
   Nyckelord :Ateles geoffroyi; behavioral testing; discrimination learning; odor memory; olfaction; olfactory discrimination; olfactory learning; spider monkey;

   Sammanfattning : There is little knowledge about olfactory learning in primates, even though primates are known to use olfaction in several behaviors including food selection and territorial defense. Therefore I assessed the olfactory learning and memory performance in five adult spider monkeys (Ateles geoffroyi) using a food-rewarded two-choice olfactory discrimination paradigm. LÄS MER

5. 9. Programming and Optimisation of a Digital Holographic Microscope for the Study of Eye Tissue

   Master-uppsats, KTH/Tillämpad fysik

   Författare :Lucie Dilhan; [2018]
   Nyckelord :Applied physics; digital holographic microscope; Fourier optics; Tillämpad fysik; digitalt holografiskt mikroskop; Fourier-optik;

   Sammanfattning : The objectives of the present project were to set up, optimise and characterise a digitalholographic microscopy (DHM) laboratory set-up designed for the study of eyetissue and to implement and optimise digital data processing and noise reductionroutines. This work is part of a collaborative project aiming to provide quantitativemethods for the in vitro and in vivo characterisation of human corneal transparency. LÄS MER

7. 10. A cooperation experiment in captive white-handed gibbons (Hylobates lar)

   Master-uppsats, Linköpings universitet/Biologi

   Författare :Nora Tabea Kopsch; [2018]
   Nyckelord :Cognition; Cooperation; Gibbons; Hylobates; Primates; Problem-solving; Social behaviour;

   Sammanfattning : Cooperative behaviours among individuals play a crucial role in social interactions. There is a special interest in investigating the occurrence of cooperation among apes, because this knowledge could as well shed light on evolutionary processes and help understand the origin and development of cooperation in humans and primates in general.
