1. Analysis of relatedness and genetic diversity in Swedish sheep breeds using medium density (50K) SNP data
Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Animal Breeding and GeneticsSammanfattning : The local Swedish sheep breeds belong to a group of sheep breeds known as North European short-tailed sheep breeds. Evaluation of genetic diversity, relatedness, and population structure of local breeds offers crucial metrics to prevent inbreeding depression, genetic erosion, and crossbreeding between locally adapted and exotic sheep breeds since these occurrences can have detrimental effects and ultimately lead to extinction.

2. Safeguarding a Safeguard: Assessing the Status of Global Ex-Situ Crop Conservation and the Svalbard Global Seed Vault’s Role in its Protection
Magister-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Ekonomisk-historiska institutionenSammanfattning : The Svalbard Seed Vault serves as a backup against accidental loss of genetic crop diversity within the existing global conservation system. Addressing this objective, this thesis repeats the 2013 assessment of the Seed Vault’s completeness relative to the global conservation system as performed by Westengen et al (2013, 1). LÄS MER
3. Estimating the effective population size of Swedish native cattle : understanding the demographic trajectories of indigenous Swedish cattle breeds
Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Animal Breeding and GeneticsSammanfattning : The indigenous cattle populations are on the decline globally with the continuous improvement of genetic gains in commercial breeds. Due to their unique adaptive features to the local ecosystem, traditional cattle breeds are pools of valuable genetic resources that could help combat the impact of climate change in the near future.

4. Återkomsten av djungelns lag: om svensk arbetarrörelse och prekariatet
Kandidat-uppsats, Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för globala studierSammanfattning : Hobbe’s Leviathan has not only proved important for the theory of International Relations. This explorative study suggests that Hobbe’s experiences from the British civil war (1648-51), “bellum omnium contra omnes”, and the role he gave Leviathan are of vital importance in order to understand the emerging situation on domestic labor markets, in this thesis illustrated by the case of the Swedish labor market.

5. Access and Benefit-sharing for farmers in developing countries
Uppsats för yrkesexamina på avancerad nivå, Lunds universitet/Juridiska institutionenSammanfattning : The Food and Agricultural Organization of the United Nations uppskattar att så många som 840 miljoner människor är undernärda, de flesta av dem människor i utvecklingsländer. Samtidigt försöker många parter förbättra och skapa nya växtsorter som ger större skördar, ökade näringsvärden, och andra fördelaktiga egenskaper. LÄS MER
