BACKGROUND: Impaired olfaction is an important feature in Parkinson's disease (PD) and other neurological diseases. A variety of smell identification tests exist such as "Sniffin' Sticks" and the University of Pennsylvania Smell Identification Test (UPSIT). An important part of research is being able to replicate findings or combining studies in a meta-analysis. This is difficult if olfaction has

This book examines the ways in which universities can play a crucial role in inclusive development, social innovation and social entrepreneurship. It aims to prove the importance of inclusive development and inclusive innovation on economic growth and demonstrate the ways in which universities can be pioneers in this area through initiatives in social responsibility and social innovation. For exam

Popular Abstract in Swedish Staren i jordbrukslandskapet Under de senaste tre decennierna har staren (Sturnu's vulgari's) i likhet med många andra fågelarter knutna till jordbrukslandskapet minskat kraftigt i antal, både i Sverige och i stora delar av västra och norra Europa. Det finn's flera tänkbara förklaringar till detta, men eftersom jordbruket under samma tidsperiod genomgått stora förändri

Popular Abstract in Swedish Parkinsons sjukdom är näst efter Alzheimers sjukdom den vanligaste neurodegenerativa sjukdomen. I Sverige finns ca 15.000-20.000 patienter med Parkinsons sjukdom. Symptomen beror på att en liten grupp nervceller som innehåller signalsubstansen dopamin, dopaminerga celler, gradvis dör av okänd anledning. Patienterna uppvisar muskelstelhet, darrningar och långsamma rörels

Popular Abstract in Swedish Denna avhandling behandlar studier av elektriska komponenter med egenskaper dominerade av s.k. kvantfenomen. Dessa komponenter har ur flera synvinklar många önskvärda egenskaper, t.ex. är vissa av dem extremt snabba, andra har mycket låg effektförbrukning eller hög packningstäthet. Avhandlingen är indelad i två delar. Först en introduktion till ämnet där bakomliggande tThis thesis deals with electrical measurements on quantum devices. The thesis is divided into three major areas: electrical characterization, semiconductor devices, and metal devices. The electrical characterization part present problems and advantages with the measurement techniques used in the the thesis, .i.e., Current-Voltage; Conductance, including higher order harmonics; Capacitance; Cross-

Although, today, jus cogens is a recognized element of international law and international legal discourse alike, many issues of vital importance to a well-functioning jus cogens regime remain unsettled. The current debate centers on the following six questions: (1) What is the source of jus cogens obligations? (2) What is the role of consent in the creation and modification of jus cogens norms? (

The internet has had an impact on public relations that goes well beyond significant adjustments in practice made in response to technological change. Mirroring the emergence of ”Web 2.0” platforms, the discipline is increasingly articulating its purpose and culture through discourse associated with social media. Concepts such as transparency, authenticity, conversation and engagement can be inext

Although hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) have traditionally been thought to possess the ability to give rise to all the mature cell types in the hematopoietic system, this conception of hematopoiesis was based on evaluation of hematopoietic output from large numbers of HSCs using transplantation models.  More recent studies evaluating HSCs at the clonal or near-clonal level, both in transplantatio

Atomistic molecular dynamics simulations have been performed to study microscopic the interfacial ionic structures, molecular arrangements, and orientational preferences of trihexyltetradecylphosphonium-bis(mandelato)borate ([P6,6,6,14][BMB]) ionic liquid confined between neutral and charged gold electrodes. It was found that both [P6,6,6,14] cations and [BMB] anions are coabsorbed onto neutral el
