A proactive strategy to respond effectively to health impacts related to climate variability, particularly within vulnerable populations, is of vital importance. Such a strategy can be attained if health officials have a deep understanding of how climate variability affects human health and if the resources available for the health care sector are sufficient. This study assessed the perceptions an

Various optical techniques were used to investigate relevant parameters involved in photodynamic therapy (PDT) of human basal cell carcinomas (BCCs). The aim of the study was to compare the diagnostic and therapeutic outcome when using topically applied methyl-esterified delta -aminolevulinic acid (ALA-ME) and delta -aminolevulinic acid (ALA). A total of 35 pathologically verified BCCs in 14 patie

In our response, we address four themes arising from the commentaries. First, we discuss the distinction between cognition and metacognition and show how to draw it within our framework. Next, we explain how metacognition differs from social cognition. The underlying mechanisms of metacognitive development are then elucidated in terms of interaction patterns. Finally, we consider measures of metac

Synucleinopathies, characterized by intracellular aggregation of α-synuclein protein, share a number of features in pathology and disease progression. However, the vulnerable cell population differs significantly between the disorders, despite being caused by the same protein. While the vulnerability of dopamine cells in the substantia nigra to α-synuclein over-expression, and its link to Parkinso

I denna artikel analyseras muntligt gestaltade erfarenheter hos 27 överlevande efter kriget i nordvästra Bosnien under 1990-talet. Syftet är att dels beskriva hur de intervjuade framställer det sociala fenomenet «offerskap», dels analysera diskursiva mönster som medverkar i konstruktionen av kategorin «offer». Aktörernas anspråk på statusen «offer» skapar en konkurrens om offerrollen efter kriget.The aim of this article is to analyse verbally portrayed experiences of 27 survivors of the 1990’s war in northwestern Bosnia. My focus is on describing how the interviewees portray the social phenomenon of «victimhood» and on analysing the discursive patterns that contribute to construction of the category «victim». When, after the war, different actors claim this «victim» status, it sparks a com

Man har gett namnet ”vitalister” till de tänkare som tillskriver den levande materian en särskild status. Den särskilda statusen kräver vissa uppoffringar. Vitalismen är tvungen att erkänna ett orsaksbegrepp som avviker markant från det dominerande mekanistiska modellen i det modernistiska programmet. Den vitala ”kraften” eller ”principen”, agerar genom den organiska vävnaden för att orsaka den rö

In the field of second language acquisition (SLA) it is an important question, which role the native language assumes in the acquisition of another language. Studies have shown that there exists a native language influence on a phonological and lexical level. The situation in syntax is however different. Here a native language influence (transfer) is not self-evident.

Syftet med uppsatsen är att utifrån vetenskapliga artiklar skapa ett preliminärt teoretiskt ramverk som ska hjälpa oss att analysera vår insamlade empiri. Genom empiriinsamling blir även syftet att undersöka vilka bolag på OMX Stockholmsbörsen som avviker från Koden, om bolagen avviker från samma punkter samt om det finns några gemensamma faktorer som kännetecknar bolagen som avviker.

The basis of this paper is a comparative study, on the one hand of the frequency of saints' names among the women in medieval Denmark, and on the other of the occurrence of pictures of female saints in the same region. As to certain names, e g Catherine, Barbara and Anne, there is a correspondence of frequency and time, which suggests a deliberate popularization of the saints in question. Othr cas

Vision sensors are of increasing interest for non-intrusive, remote measurements in industrial as well as consumer products. Their operation is based on intelligent techniques for image understanding, followed by robust quantification of the detected phenomenon. A well-known application area is movement detection and isolation. This paper discusses how movement can be detected and quantified by me

This article is contributing to the future of copyright law debate by exploring the recently harmonised originality standard in the EU copyright law and its suitability to a creative sharing community of Wikipedia. It shows that the “free creative choices” and “author’s personal” touch criteria established by the CJEU might be unsuitable not only because of practical concerns, but also because the

Inflammation has been proposed to play a role in the generation of depressive symptoms. Previously, we demonstrated that patients with major depressive disorder (MDD) have increased plasma levels of the soluble form of the urokinase receptor (suPAR), a marker for low-grade inflammation. The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that acute exercise would induce inflammatory response characte
