The clinical diagnosis Of Multiple system atrophy (MSA) is fraught with difficulty and there are no pathognomonic features to discriminate the parkinsonian variant (MSA-P) from Parkinson's disease (PD). Besides the poor response to levodopa, and the additional presence of pyramidal or cerebellar signs (ataxia) or autonomic failure as major diagnostic criteria, certain other clinical features known
Aims. We aim to constrain the mixing processes in low-mass stars by investigating the behaviour of the Li surface abundance after the main sequence. We take advantage of the data from the sixth internal data release of Gaia-ESO, IDR6, and from the Gaia Early Data Release 3, EDR3s. Methods. We selected a sample of main-sequence, sub-giant, and giant stars in which the Li abundance is measured by th
This study aims to explore the scope of ‘knowledge-carrying’ objects in learning situations. The studyis based on a qualitative content analysis of a design project conducted in a science centre for childrenaged 7-10 years, learning about polymers and circularity. The design project is based on researchthrough design and has been an iterative process where design experiments and observations werei
The effects of data uncertainty in applications of the critical loads concept were investigated on different spatial resolutions in Sweden and northern Czech Republic. Critical loads of acidity (CL) were calculated for Sweden using the biogeochemical model PROFILE. Three methods with different structural complexity were used to estimate the adverse effects of SO2 concentrations in northern Czech R
Radiotherapy (RT) is a repetitive treatment divided into daily fractions, scheduled five days a week from one up to several weeks depending upon the child’s diagnosis. Although RT is painless and non-invasive, children experience anxiety. Depending on the child’s age, anxiety or inability to comply, they may require sedation or general anaesthesia (GA), meaning that some children receive GA over 3
Morpho-taxonomic studies of cetrarioid lichens from India recorded 46 species representing Cetraria, Melanelia, Nephromopsis, and Platismatia. Nephromopsis awasthii is described as new to science; and Cetraria endochrysea, C. sinensis, Melanelia agnata, Nephromopsis ciliaris, N. morrisonicola, N. pseudocomplicata, N. pseudoweberi, N. rugosa, N. weii, and N. yunnanensis are reported for the first t
This study argues that Brexit is as much an internal UK crisis of law, identity politics and democracy as it is the EU crisis of integration. Does Brexit bring us a new insight into how the legal order of the EU and its Member States are interrelated? Does it throw a new light on the EU law’s ability to produce a sense of collective European identity and solidarity which transcends national borderThis study argues that Brexit is as much an internal UK crisis of law, identity politics and democracy as it is the EU crisis of integration. Does Brexit bring us a new insight into how the legal order of the EU and its Member States are interrelated? Does it throw a new light on the EU law’s ability to produce a sense of collective European identity and solidarity which transcends national border
We study an extended bootstrap percolation process in several steps in dimension one, assuming noncyclic boundary conditions. We study the asymptotic behavior of the process as the size of the underlying graph goes to innity. We nd a phase transition with respect to the initial conditions. The phase diagram on the set of initial conditionals of the extended process is described completely. This pr
This essay is concerning the consequences that may occur out of media reactions. In this survey, I am examining a few articles from three Swedish leading newspapers for the purpose to show how African countries can be presented in media. By criticizing the different articles’ way of portraying Africa, I am demonstrating that the author of the article can formulate situations in particular ways. It
Thesis Purpose: The main purpose of our thesis is to provide a worker perspective on bureaucratic control in a knowledge-intensive context. Methodology (Empirical Foundation): Our research has been carried out from an interpretive perspective. The empirical material has been constructed through a qualitative case study performed within a knowledge-intensive work context. Theoretical Perspec
One of the biggest expenses for airline companies is the fuel for the aircrafts; preceded only by labor costs it is important for an airline to optimize its use of fuel. One option to save money on fuel is by doing something called Fuel Tankering. Essentially, fuel tankering is a way to lower the fuel cost by refueling at departures where the fuel price is lower than at the destination of the airc
Background: Previous studies have shown the importance of good communication (GC) within the medical encounter; with patients‟ increased adherence and improved health, more effective consultations and more satisfied patients and physicians. Since society and the concept of GC have evolved over time it is important to continue the research on the characteristics of GC. Objective: To explore how GC
Aim: Phantoms are used daily in the clinic for radiotherapy. As more realistic phantoms are requested, 3D printing could be used but the design of a realistic phantom is difficult. The purpose of this project was to design and 3D print an anthropomorphic phantom that could be used for verification of complex treatment such as stereotactic arrhythmic radioablation treatments without the use of pati
Uppsatsen behandlar så kallat ansvarsgenombrott i en svensk och norsk kontext. Det är en grundläggande princip i svensk och västerländsk bolagsrätt att en aktieägare inte personligen ansvarar för bolagets förpliktelser. I Sverige kommer detta till uttryck i 1 kap. 3 § ABL. Att denna ansvarsfrihet inte lättsinnigt ska kunna bortses från är en i princip lika grundläggande tanke. Ansvarsfriheten är dThe essay deals with the breakthrough of the limited liability of a shareholder in a Swedish and Norwegian context. It is a fundamental principle of Swedish and Western corporate law that a shareholder is not personally responsible for the obligations of the company. In Sweden, this is expressed through Chapter 1 § 3 of the Swedish Companies Act (“Companies Act”). The fact that this absence of lia
The aim of the present study is to study the Abscopal regression of subcutaneously implanted N29 rat glioma after immunization with syngeneic IFNg secreting cells and treatment of contra-lateral tumours with pulsed electric fields (PEF) and/or radiation therapy (RT). The study was performed on rats of the Fischer-344 strain with rat glioma N29 tumours implanted subcutaneously on the flank or on bo
Proteins fold on a mu s-ms time scale. However, the number of possible conformations of the polypeptide backbone is so large that random sampling would not allow the protein to fold within the lifetime of the universe, the Levinthal paradox. We show here that a protein chain can fold efficiently with high fidelity if on average native contacts survive longer than non-native ones, that is, if the d
As stakeholders struggle to reconcile calls for accountability and pressures for increased patient safety, criminal prosecution of surgeons and other health-care workers for medical error seems to be on the rise. This paper examines whether legal systems can meaningfully draw a line between acceptable performance and negligence. By questioning essentialist assumptions behind 'crime' or 'negligence
The research investigate the Visegrad countries (Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Hungary) cohesion problem finding a joint position on the EU sanctions against Russia by answering the question: What is behind the Visegrad Groups different positions and lack of unity on the EU sanctions towards Russia?. To identify what is behind the Visegrad Groups different positions the theory spring fr
