Loss and damage in tropical fisheries : a systematic review of people, climate, and fisheries

Climate change loss and damage research and policy includes biodiversity loss as a non-economic loss and damage. Yet there is scant understanding of what is loss and damage in tropical fisheries and how it is measured. We conduct the first systematic review of loss and damage in fisheries. The study uses a qualitative interpretivist values–based lens to examine fishers’ intrinsic, instrumental, an

Evaluation of parameters extracted from tissue residue functions in dynamic susceptibility contrast MRI: Healthy volunteers examined during normal breathing and spontaneous hyperventilation

Dynamic susceptibility contrast magnetic resonance imaging (DSC-MRI) is the most common MRI method in clinical environments for assessment of perfusion-related parameters. In this study, special emphasis was placed on the shape of the tissue residue function under different physiological conditions. DSC-MRI-based parameters assumed to reflect arterial delay and cerebral oxygen extraction were obta

The problem with “inclusion”? : it is done to someone by someone

In this paper, we aim to contribute to an enhanced theoretical ground for Universal Design (UD) by examining the concept of “inclusion”, presenting a conceptual critique of it based on our research on categorisation and UD, and proposing a way forward. This study is based on a comprehensive analysis of a range of photographs related to inclusion and exclusion collected during five recent research

Universal Design and accessibility as an act or a state : a comparison of policies in Norway, Sweden, and Denmark

186 countries have ratified The Convention on Rights of People with Disabilities (CRPD) since 2006. Sweden ratified the CRPD in 2008, Denmark in 2009, and Norway in 2013. In the context of the United Nations, the concept of Universal Design (UD) introduced in the CRPD is new. Previously, accessibility was the dominant concept. By ratifying the CRPD, these three countries have agreed to initiate or

Heterogeneous Distribution and Absorbed Dose of Radiolabeled Nanoparticles and Colloids in Sentinel Lymph Nodes

Background: For breast cancer staging, radiolabeled colloids and superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) are used for sentinel lymph node (SLN) imaging. This study characterized the intranodal activity distribution and absorbed dose distribution. Material and Methods: Six patients diagnosed with primary breast cancer were intradermally injected with 99mTc-Nanocoll. The SLNs were resect

Eye movement disorders in genetic dystonia syndromes : A literature overview

With the growing possibilities in genetic testing, the number of genetic disorders associated with dystonia has constantly increased over the last few years. Accurate phenotyping is crucial to guide and interpret genetic analyses in the search for an etiological diagnosis. Although eye movements examination has proven a valuable tool in the assessment of patients with inherited movement disorders

Temporal trends of psychiatric disorders incidence by sex, education and immigration status among young and middle-aged adults in Sweden, 2004-2019

OBJECTIVE: To explore temporal changes in incidence of major psychiatric disorders across sociodemographic subgroups in Sweden.METHODS: This population-based open cohort study included all individuals born during 1958-1994 and residing in Sweden at any time during 2004-2019. We identified psychiatric disorders registered in inpatient and outpatient specialist care. We calculated person-years from

Increased fluid accumulation, reduced physical activity and heart rate variability during national holidays in patients with cardiac implantable electronic devices.

AimsThe higher incidence of myocardial infarction (MI) during national holidays could be caused by overindulgence of food and beverages, potentially straining the heart of vulnerable individuals. Monitoring decreased thoracic impedance by cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIED) can be used for detection of fluid accumulation. We aimed to assess the relationship between cardiac metrics and na

Glucosinolate profiling in Cleome gynandra L. aerial parts based on two extraction methods

Glucosinolates and their degradation products from Cleome gynandra L. are known for their beneficial effects in traditional medical use. As part of daily nutrient intake, the areal parts of this herb are cooked and consumed, whereas the residual water from boiling is discarded. However, it may contain valuable bioactive metabolites. Therefore, we focus our investigations on Cleome gynandra L. for

Human dignity and human security in times of terrorism

In this book, it is explained that despite a current drop in the number of deaths, terrorism should still be considered a serious and widespread problem. However, the responses to this phenomenon are often more problematic from a long-term perspective. With the human rights framework under serious pressure, this edited volume offers a timely, important and critical in-depth analysis of human digni

Unilateral exceptions to international law : Systematic legal analysis and critique of doctrines that seek to deny or reduce the applicability of human rights norms in the fight against terrorism

It is well known that many governments have resorted to a wide range of constructions to justify, underi nternational law, their unilateral exceptions to human rights in the name of countering terrorism. This paper seeks to take stock of a range of arguments, doctrines or constructionsth at states may resort to when seeking to justify their unilateral exceptions to human rights norms in the fight
