OBJECTIVE: Sarcopenia (loss of muscle strength/mass) reduces physical performance (walking, strength, mobility) and is common in Parkinson's disease (PD), but data on newly diagnosed, untreated patients ("de novo") are scarce. Fatigue is frequent in PD and linked to physical decline and malnutrition, key sarcopenia risk factors. We aimed to describe sarcopenia prevalence, malnutrition risk, and fa
Eumusc.net (http://www.eumusc.net) is a European project supported by the EU and European League Against Rheumatism to improve musculoskeletal care in Europe.
Previous studies have shown that fossil energy systems can be a conflict objective, means or cause. This study explores how renewable energy (RE) systems can interact with conflicts and to what extent the risk of different conflicts may change. Renewable resources, in contrast to conventional fossil resources, are more difficult to control in time and space. RE systems depend on exploiting flows r
In this paper, we introduce a scale of differential operators which is shown to correspond canonically to a certain scale of solution kernels generalizing the classical Poisson kernel for the unit disc. The scale of kernels studied is very natural and appears in many places in mathematical analysis, such as in the theory of integral representations of biharmonic functions in the unit disc.
This paper analyzes a genre of hotels that has grown substantially the latest decades: namely one that includes hotels that go under names such as design hotels, boutique hotels, or "contemporary" hotels. It presents elements of the transnational discourse of this genre and shows how these are translated, materialized and localized. Individual hotels are used as illustrative examples of how discur
This thesis examines in what way Brexit is constructed as a security threat with regards to the Irish border. If the UK were to leave the EU a border would have to be installed, but installing a border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland would violate the Good Friday Agreement. Brexit has resulted in a prolonged process because the politicians cannot agree on a withdrawal agreemen
Extended producer responsibility (EPR) has been successfully implemented in various developed countries. The complex waste flows and the presence of the informal sector in non-OECD countries makes the execution of EPR challenging widely. The informal sector owing to its contribution to the waste management sector has been advocated for inclusion and recognition by researchers and practitioners. Th
Purpose: Boys with genetic syndromes have an increased risk of undescended testes (UDT), but laparoscopic findings and outcomes after two-stage Fowler-Stephens orchiopexy (FS2) are rarely reported. This study aims to compare laparoscopic findings and results after FS2 between syndromic and non-syndromic boys. Methods: A retrospective cohort study on boys with UDT who underwent laparoscopy between
A search is presented for a heavy scalar (H) or pseudo-scalar (A) predicted by the two-Higgs-doublet models, where the H/A is produced in association with a top-quark pair (tt¯H/A), and with the H/A decaying into a tt¯ pair. The full LHC Run 2 proton–proton collision data collected by the ATLAS experiment is used, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 139fb-1. Events are selected requiring
Every of the seven chapters of the course aims at introducing the students to the basics of Romanian language in the larger context of the Romanian culture and civilization development, with the ultimate purpose of settling both a few essential theoretical knowledge and some practical communication skills for the foreign students as inhabitants of Romania. The compulsory tasks at the end of each c

This research will try to examine the strategy of FIDESZ government, the current government of Hungary, in acquiring political legitimacy. The thesis found that political legitimacy of Hungary has a pattern of relation between the regime and historical memory; this relation can be seen since the end of communist regime in 1989, which has been centred at the representations of historical memory to
This thesis explores the interlinking of evaluation and development through an anthropological lens by considering the indigenization process of an evaluation culture, and how evaluation travels across boundaries as an assemblage, similar to many other global phenomena. Central to the thesis is the national evaluation capacity building trend viewed as a two-sided project; first as internal capacit
Implementing anammox based processes in the mainstream at municipal wastewater treatment plants is challenging and requires carefully constructed control strategies in order to be successful. A method to measure the specific anammox activity (SAA) was further developed and implemented in the mainstream anammox pilot plant at Sjölunda Wastewater Treatment Plant. The developed method was found to be
This paper examines the relationship between Big Data and two financial assets. This is achieved through replication of the portfolio method proposed by Preis, Moat and Stanley (2013) which examines and tests the relationship between search engine query volumes and financial markets. Collecting data from 98 different search terms, this paper extends the study by applying the strategy to two new fi

Detection of Listeria monocytogenes by the microbiological standard method (ISO 11290-1) is time consuming and requires several days to get results, thus a more rapid detection method is required. The aim of this study is to continue the optimization of a rapid method that is based on quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) to detect L. monocytogenes in food matrices. The method is based on
Antibodies have proven its usefulness in a variety of technologies, including Flow Cytometry, Immunohistochemistry and Antibody Microarrays. The latter, which has been applied in e.g. biomarker discovery, disease monitoring, prognostics and protein expression profiling, has become a workhorse in affinity proteomics. By recombinantly expressing scFv antibody fragments in E. coli, a high-throughput
Soft biological tissues and engineered hydrogels for biomedical applications are intrinsically multiphasic materials, consisting of solid, fluid and possibly fixed and mobile ions. Understanding their mechanical behaviour requires experimental methods and theoretical models that take their multiphasic nature into account and allow for quantification of material parameters related to the different
