BACKGROUND: Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) is the single most common cause of vestibular vertigo and is characterised by short episodes of rotational vertigo precipitated by changes in head positions like lying down or turning in bed. OBJECTIVE: This study aims to assess useful questions when suspecting benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) caused dizziness as well as identifyin
Synucleinopathies, including Parkinson’s disease (PD), dementia with Lewy bodies(DLB) and multiple system atrophy (MSA), are a group of neurodegenerative disorders characterized by the abnormal accumulation of insoluble alpha-synuclein (α-syn) aggregates in the brain. The detection of α syn pathology has relied vastly on the use of several antibodies, which were mostly generated against different
In 2007, Roman Shukhevych (1907–1950), the commander of the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA), was designated an official Ukrainian state hero. He has since become the object of an elaborate cult of personality. Lauded for his resistance to the Soviet authorities in 1944–1950, Shukhevych is highly controversial in neighbouring Poland for the ethnic cleansing that the UPA carried out in 1943–1944, as
Purpose: To evaluate the access to human rights of persons with disabilities who use prosthetic and orthotic assistive devices, and to compare groups of participants in terms of gender, residential area, income, and type and level of assistive device. The addressed areas were rights to: health, a standard of living adequate for health, education, marry and establish a family, vote, and work. Metho
We used the nation-wide Swedish Family-Cancer Database to analyze the risk for bone cancer in offspring by parental cancers and in siblings of bone cancer probands. Additionally, the risk of second cancer following childhood bone cancer was investigated. In offspring, 1,190 bone cancers were diagnosed between years 1958 and 1996. Groups of offspring were compared by calculating standardized incide
Purpose: We applied Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) methods in a structured benefit–risk assessment of cladribine and newer approved disease-modifying drugs (DMDs) for patients with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS). Methods: Decision conferencing with clinical neurologists as decision makers was used to create an MCDA model that incorporated available evidence on DMDs for RRMS
The aim of this thesis has been to investigate the legal conditions and process for triggering Credit Default Swaps, which are derivative instruments to shift credit risk exposure between parties in an underlying financial instrument. The condition is called credit event and a case study has been done on the Greek credit event in 2012. The thesis shows that there is a clear and robust framework o
In modern day society the increase of data generation and transfer has been an issue that researchers are working on. This generated and shared data might have a different purpose but one thing is certain, the reception. This communication can cover continents, countries, cities or even just a few meters. For the purpose of the later, personal area networks (PAN) have been created with a main focu
Eutrophication is one of the biggest environmental problems in Scanian waters, where agriculture has the largest input. Through soil cultivation and usage of fertilizers, nutrients are added and released. If no uptake occurs nutrients can be further transported to watercourses through surface runoff or the drainage system. This study investigates three measures to reduce and reuse nutrients from d
Previous studies indicated that skylights can improve the daylight conditions in house or office buildings, decrease the electricity demand for lighting, provide natural ventilation and reduce the heating demand through passive solar heat gain exploitation. This thesis analyses the effect of skylights on the energy use, daylight conditions and thermal comfort in a classroom. The study is performed
Euromaidan-rörelsen i Ukraina, som inleddes när presidenten Janukovitj avbröt arbetet med ett associationsavtal med EU och kan sägas ha avslutats med hans avgång, blev föremål för ett stort antal reaktioner från EU och Ryssland. Ukraina befinner sig enligt Huntingtons teori om civilisationernas kamp på gränsen mellan två civilisationer, och ur ett geopolitiskt perspektiv på gränsen mellan deras in
The arc of progression in the most common neurological aiction known as Alzheimer's Disease (AD), is characterized by a prodromal stage of Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI). MCI subjects have traditionally been diagnosed with a battery of cognitive tests, but in recent times two good biomarker predictors of incipient AD have been identied. The cerebrospinal uid levels of the protein residues am
Syftet är att beskriva och analysera hur företag i läkemedelsbranschen redovisar forskning och utveckling, om de aktiverar utvecklingsutgifter och varför, samt hur de i så fall hanterar avgränsningsproblematiken. Studien utgår från en kvalitativ metod där enskilda intervjuer med läkemedelsföretag har utförts. Företagens årsredovisningar har också granskats. Teoretiska perspektiv: Studien använder
This essay addresses the needs of so called ‘climate migrants’. It focuses exclusively on the relocation of the population of Kiribati, a small island nation in the Pacific Ocean whose very existence is threatened by the effects of climate change. With the principles of causality, morality, capacity and community, Miller’s Connection Theory provides the study with a framework for discussing the di
This essay aims to find out what attitudes might exist in relation to the planning of the city districts Hammarbyhöjden and Björkhagen, located in the southern parts of Stockholm. The theoretical framework is built around theories of landscape - how we define it and use it. The material used and analysed is partly constituted of the official planning documents created by Stockholms stad, and partl
