Background: Severe diminished foot somatosensation, for example, caused by neuropathies and advanced aging, contributes to balance deficits and increased fall risk. However, little is known about somatosensory impairment and functional and subjective balance problems in relatively healthy elderly. Method: Vibration perception thresholds (VPTs) were assessed with a biothesiometer and tactile pressuBackground: Severe diminished foot somatosensation, for example, caused by neuropathies and advanced aging, contributes to balance deficits and increased fall risk.

Analysing datasets from hunting statistics and human cases of tick-borne encephalitis (TBE), we found a positive correlation between the number of human TBE cases and the number of red fox (Vulpes vulpes). Time lags were also present, indicating that high numbers of red fox in 1 y translated into high numbers of human TBE cases the following y. Results for smaller predators were mixed and inconsis

Analyses of mitochondrial cytochrome b diversity among avian blood parasites of the genera Haemoproteus and Plasmodium suggest that there might be as many lineages of parasites as there are species of birds. This is in sharp contrast to the approximately 175 parasite species described by traditional methods based on morphology using light microscopy. Until now it has not been clear to what extent

Teaching students is one of the main tasks of LTH, as thousands of students engage on their engineering studies at the faculty every year. The funding for teaching these students is an essential source of income for LTH, but in recent years there has been an increased worry for diminishing financing for lecturing at the faculty.This study aims to investigate how lecturers perceive the development

Traditionally, the law has been considered as devoid of emotions, however we now view the courtroom as an emotional scene. The emotion norms of the courtroom are thus interesting to explore and, as the courtroom work of defense lawyers has received little sociological attention, this will be the focus of this paper. The aim here is to show which emotions are present in the courtroom and how they a

Background: There is limited knowledge concerning fall-related activity avoidance in people with Parkinson's disease (PD); such knowledge would be of importance for the development of more efficient PD-care and rehabilitation. This study aimed to examine how fall-related activity avoidance relates to a history of self-reported falls/near falls and fear of falling (FOF) as well as to disease severi

Research conducted in recent years has documented the widespread presence of various forms of color vision in species from across the animal kingdom, helped to develop an understanding of the basic biological mechanisms that underlie this sensory capacity, and provided some insights into the utility of color vision in the natural world. This chapter draws information from all these various sources

Bosnia and Herzegovina has been one of the countries in the Western Balkans mostly affected by terrorism and the phenomenon of foreign terrorist fighters, which it has had a hard time combating. The country has been on the agenda of EU integration for many years, a process which has taken a very long time, but has in recent years accelerated rather drastically. There are many theories about terror

I uppsatsen utreds vad som förutsätts för ett fungerande informationsutbyte mellan myndigheter. Utifrån svaret på det undersöks huruvida befintliga sekretessbrytande bestämmelser är tillräckliga eller om förslaget om en ny sekretessbrytande bestämmelse behövs såsom den presenteras i det första delbetänkandet för ett förbättrat informationsutbyte som meddelades i september 2024. Undersökningen viThe purpose of this thesis is to investigate what aspects that are significant to achieve a well exchange of information between authorities. Based on that answer the paper analyses whether existing articles that permit an exchange of information despite confidentiality are sufficient, or if there is need of an additional article such as the one that has been suggested in an interim report for an

Varför väljer de svenska onoterade företag i denna studie att redovisa enligt K3 eller IFRS? Vilka är anledningarna och kan de ge vägledning och en förklaring till huruvida något av redovisningsregelverk är att föredra för onoterade företag? Studiens syfte är att undersöka vilka anledningar är till att utvalda svenska onoterade företag väljer att redovisa enligt K3 eller IFRS. Utan att generaliser

Vilket förtroende för offentliga välfärdsinstitutioner har transpersoner i Sverige? Denna kandidatuppsats vill undersöka förtroendet för offentliga välfärdsinstitutioner. Förtroende för institutioner verkar påverka i vilken utsträckning en individ vänder sig till välfärdsinstitutioner och litar på välfärden. Detta får konsekvenser i enskilda individers liv. Transpersoner som grupp har enligt de se
