Spain: an extreme case of successful integration of second-generation immigrants with transfers of best practices applicable to other European countries?

This volume presents cutting-edge research on integration and adaptation processes of second-generation immigrant adolescents in Spain that no doubt constitutes an important and timely contribution to the migration-integration debate. Principal findings of the Investigación Longitudinal de la Segunda Generación study indicate a comparatively smooth integration of second-generation immigrant adoles

Differences in resource management affects drought vulnerability across the borders between Iraq, Syria, and Turkey

This study investigates the 2007-2009 Fertile Crescent drought in the border region of Syria, Iraq and Turkey from an agricultural perspective using satellite based vegetation data combined with precipitation and land cover data. We look at the trends in vegetation productivity between 2001 and 2015, as well as the different politico-economic factors affecting land management leading up to the dro

The Complex Genetics behind Neurodegeneration and Susceptibility to Parkinson’s disease

Parkinsons sjukdom (PS) är den näst vanligaste neurodegenerativa sjukdomen efter Alzheimers sjukdom och drabbar över 1 % av personer över 65 år. Även om denna progressiva och försvagande sjukdom brukar anses vara en motorsjukdom, med symtom som stelhet, långsamma rörelser och vilotremor, så påverkas också icke-motoriska funktioner som sömn, kognition och mag-tarmfunktion. Dessa symtom förekommer vParkinson’s disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disorder and affects over 1% of people above the age of 65. This progressive and debilitating disease is usually thought of as a motor disease, with symptoms such as muscle rigidity, slowness of movement, and tremor at rest.PD can be familial, where a single inherited gene mutation causes the disease, but most cases of PD (90%) a
