AbstractParkinson's disease (PD) is one of the most common neurodegenerative diseases in humans. It is a slowly progressing neurological disorder exhibiting major symptoms including resting tremor, rigidity, bradykinesia and postural instability. PD also gives rise to non-motor symptoms such as loss of olfaction, gastrointestinal system disruption, cognitive functional decline, etc. The loss of do

Factors driving the species richness and distribution of bryophytes are poorly studied and not well understood, particularly in grasslands. We analysed the occurrence of bryophyte species and variation in species richness across 674 plots (0.5 m× 0.5 m) in alvar vegetation (grassland on limestone pavement with thin or no soil) on Öland (Sweden) in relation to substrate characteristics and chemistr

Lärarutbildningen står alltid under allmänhetens vakande öga. Gång efter annan uttrycks föreställningar om lärarutbildningen och dess lärare och forskare i mediala debatter. Denna text tar receptionen av en avhandling som utgångspunkt för en redogörelse för vad som sägs i debatterna i dag, vem som tar ton och varför. Det visar sig vara ett fåtal starka röster som får sätta agendan för det samtida

I denna uppsats undersöks sambandet mellan klassiska studier och moralisk fostranunder 1800-talets tre första decennier. Utifrån en genomgång av reformmaterial,debattryck och artiklar spåras argument om antikstudiets samhällsnytta. Återkommande framhölls dess betydelse för att utveckla karaktärsdrag som manlighet, fosterlandskärlek och pliktuppfyllande i debatten. Klassiska språk och antik littera

Once the Cultural Studies made its presence felt, the concept of culture was broadened so as to include the so-called “pop-culture”. It was very profitable to humanize culture and make it available to all, not only to elites. Extremes are discouraging. A middle ground should be established between the ups and downs. Culture should be democratic, which doesn’t mean it has to be confused with civili

Background: The identification of mismatch-repair (MMR) defective colon cancer is clinically relevant for diagnostic, prognostic and potentially also for treatment predictive purposes. Preselection of tumors for MMR analysis can be obtained with predictive models, which need to demonstrate ease of application and favorable reproducibility. Methods. We validated the MMR index for the identification

In recent times, pragmatics has made more and more room for the theory of discourse. The switch in emphasis was triggered, amid other phenomena and theories, by the flourishing pf the communication theory, with its tenet that the process of communication is quite unstable and unpredictable. It is not only the context the one which distorts the transmission of messages, but also the mood of those i

Brain structure and function are tightly correlated across all animals. While these relations are ultimately manifestations of differently wired neurons, many changes in neural circuit architecture lead to larger-scale alterations visible already at the level of brain regions. Locating such differences has served as a beacon for identifying brain areas that are strongly associated with the ecologi

BACKGROUND: A growing body of studies indicate benefits of physiotherapy for patients in palliative care, for symptom relief and wellbeing. Though physiotherapists are increasingly acknowledged as important members of palliative care teams, they are still an underutilized source and not fully recognized. The aim of this study was to explore the variety of activities described by physiotherapists i

A portrait poem by the German poet Thomas Kling (1957-2005) about the German artist Joseph Beuys is the starting point to reconsider the current ekphrasis discourse in the light of experienced visuality by combining the concept of ancient rhetoric with modern ideas of imagination, multimodality and performativity.

The bone material from three archaeological occupation phases at Huseby Klev provides the best source of evidence currently available about the subsistence strategies of pioneer settlers in Northern Europe. The results from Huseby Klev indicate that the pioneer settlers initially relied heavily on marine mammals for their sustenance. This subsistence strategy changed during the second and third oc
