Background: Optimisation of dopaminergic therapy may alleviate fluctuation-related pain in Parkinson’s disease (PD). Opicapone (OPC) is a third-generation, once-daily catechol-O-methyltransferase inhibitor shown to be generally well tolerated and efficacious in reducing OFF-time in two pivotal trials in patients with PD and end-of-dose motor fluctuations. The OpiCapone Effect on motor fluctuations
During the firstyear of the project the cluster worked on the data service requirement tracking and a technology landscape and gap analysis on the RI FAIR data/services level, to provide an up-to-date investigation of the most common gaps the ENVRIs need to bridge with respect to the FAIR principles and the EOSC requirements. The FAIRness analysis (D5.1) established that the participating RIs disp
Large-scale construction work often requires people to work longer daily hours and more than the ordinary five days in a row. In order to minimize transportation times and optimize the use of personnel, workers are sometimes asked to live in temporary building-site camps in the proximity of the work site. However, little is known about the biological and psychological effects of this experience. T
GRASP (Group and Social Psychology) is an interdisciplinary conference, which aims to provide a community around social psychological issues for researchers, practitioners, and graduate students from the Nordic countries within the fields of psychology, sociology, education, behavioural sciences and social work to share, exchange, learn, and develop preliminary results, new concepts, ideas, princi
• AimsThis research investigates how different ways of referring to anthropogenic climate change produce different sensory and affective perceptions of nature in an urban destination, and how such perceptions sustain or resist the branding strategy of such place. In doing so, it aims at showing that strategic climate communication works not only rhetorically at the level of representation, but als
Let H be a space of analytic functions on the unit ball Bd in Cd with multiplier algebra Mult(H). A function f ∈ H is called cyclic if the set [f], the closure of {ϕf : ϕ ∈ Mult(H)}, equals H. For multipliers we also consider a weakened form of the cyclicity concept. Namely for n ∈ N0 we consider the classes Cn(H) = {ϕ ∈ Mult(H): ϕ /= 0, [ϕn] = [ϕn+1]}. Many of our results hold for N:th order radi
In today’s world of uncertainties, video surveillance is widely used to make the people of our society feel safe and protected. As more cameras are installed, the time of installation and ease of use play a critical role when customers decide which camera solution to select. One way to limit the number of cameras needed to cover multiple directions and large areas is to install a multidirectional
Hållbar utveckling, som i svensk rätt används synonymt med det internationella begreppet CSR, bygger i grunden på fyra områden: mänskliga rättigheter, miljö, arbetsrätt och anti-korruption. Regeringskansliet publicerade år 2013 publikationen ”Hållbart företagande – Plattform för svenskt agerande” i syfte att fastställa hur svensk rätt ser på begreppet hållbar utveckling, vilka värderingar och hur Sustainable development, as in Swedish law is used synonymously with the international term CSR, is essentially based on four areas: human rights, environmental, labour and anti-corruption. The Swedish Government Offices published in year 2013 the publication "Sustainable business - Platform for Swedish action", in order to determine how the Swedish law looks at the concept of sustainabl
En trend i städers arbete för att profilera sig som cykelstäder och uppnå ett hållbart resande är att införa lånecykelsystem av olika slag. I Sverige har de etablerats såväl i Stockholm som i Göteborg och i augusti 2014 invigdes Lunds lånecykelsystem Lundahoj. Därtill planerar även Malmö stad att införa ett lånecykelsystem. Det faktum att Lundahoj ännu ej har utvärderats samt att det i regionen föThe report highlights Lund conditions for a bike sharing as well as the goals that are set for Lundahoj. In addition, the usage is studied and how well the bike sharing system works in relation to the objectives set by the municipality and how Lundahoj has contributed to more sustainable travel. The analysis shows that the proportion of users living in Lund (53 %) is slightly larger than the propo
While many studies have shown the importance to understand biodiversity patterns, it is still rare to find comparisons of different taxa. The aim of this thesis is to identify the biodiversity distribution of different terrestrial taxa in Swedish municipalities with a volunteer collection method, and compare it with the protected areas localization. This analysis suggests a new environmental plann
Today's security cameras typically capture either color images based on visible light or grayscale images based on both visible and near-infrared (NIR) light. This means that the performance is limited in situations where it is unclear which kind of image to capture. At dusk, for example, the visible light may not be sufficient to capture good-quality color images. On the other hand, capturing
Low rank structures are present in many applications of computer vision and machine learning. A popular approach consists of explicitly parameterising the set or matrices with sought rank, leading to a bilinear factorisation, reducing the problem to find the bilinear factors. While such an approach can be efficiently implemented using second-order methods, such as Levenberg-Marquardt (LM) or Varia
Authors: Annika Nilsson and Andrijana Todorovic Title: Double-Trouble – Difficulties in the work with co-morbidity clients [translated title] Supervisor: Anders Lundberg Assessor: Åsa Lundqvist The purpose of this study was to examine how individuals with co-morbidity are being addressed within social care. Recently, this particular group has been increasingly attracting attention as being a gro
Due to an increasing incidence rate, the need for new effective methods for diagnosing cancer are of high importance. Studies have shown that circulating tumor cells, CTCs, have great potential as a diagnostic biomarker. Acoustophoresis is a label free method, capable of separating CTCs from red blood cells in a blood sample. In theory, this would enable better CTC detection than the gold standard
This master thesis was commissioned by Det Norske Veritas (DNV) and was conducted at the department of Energy Sciences at the Faculty of Engineering, Lund University. The purpose of the thesis was to develop a structured and uniform methodology for Best Available Techniques (BAT) assessments of oil-‐ and gas installations. BAT is defined in the EU directive on Integrated Pollution Prevention and
Uppsatsen behandlar vilken betydelse FN:s konvention om barnets rättigheter bör ha för barn i skoindustrin. För att besvara denna huvudfråga tar uppsatsen upp följande delfrågor: - Hur ser situationen ut när det gäller barnarbete? - Vad är FN:s Barnkonvention? - Vem har ansvar för att Barnkonventionen efterlevs? - Hur och var sker tillverkningen av skor? - Vilka rutiner har skoföretag när det gälThe essay investigates what meaning the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child should have to children in the shoe industry. To be able to answer this main issue the essay is divided into the following sub-categories: - How does the situation look like when it comes to child labour? - What is the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child? - Who is responsible for the obse
The authors Jeremy Carrette and Richard King argues that spirituality has become a subject of commodification (i.e. transformed into a commodity) as a consequence of the growing impact of Neoliberalism in the Western world since the 1980´s. These new forms of spirituality substitute traditional religion in secular societies and often operate with a hidden economic agenda. McDonaldization is a soci
Uppmärksammandet av att organisationer har ett arbetsgivarvarumärke, i kombination med en ökad efterfrågan på högkvalificerad arbetskraft, har lett till uppkomsten av ett flertal best practice-modeller och konsultbyråer som specialiserat sig på att förvalta organisationers rykten som arbetsgivare. Tidiga definitioner av det som kommit att kallas för employer branding beskriver målet med detta att
