The paracingulate sulcus is a tertiary sulcus formed during the third trimester. In healthy individuals paracingulate sulcation is more prevalent in the left hemisphere. The anterior cingulate and paracingulate gyri are focal points of neurodegeneration in behavioral variant frontotemporal dementia (bvFTD). This study aims to determine the prevalence and impact of paracingulate sulcation in bvFTD.

INTRODUCTION: Many patients with cognitive and neuropsychiatric symptoms face diagnostic delay and misdiagnosis. We investigated whether cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) neurofilament light (NfL) and total-tau (t-tau) could assist in the clinical scenario of differentiating neurodegenerative (ND) from psychiatric disorders (PSY), and rapidly progressive disorders.METHODS: Biomarkers were examined in pati

Swetra is primarily a research project, but its computer programs and reports may result in commercial products. The research group at Lund consists of a few persons only, which has advantages eind disadvantages. The main languages studied are Russian, English and Swedish. The grammatical model is Referent Grammar (RG) and the project is a spin-off of the development of that grammar. Referent Gram

The lack of methods to evaluate mechanical function of donated hearts in the context of transplantation imposes large precautionary margins, translating into a low utilization rate of donor organs. This has spawned research into cyber-physical models constituting artificial afterloads (arterial trees), that can serve to evaluate the contractile capacity of the donor heart. The Windkessel model is

The 400-km long coast of the Bight of Benin, formed by sand barriers and lagoons, is bordered to the east by the Niger River Delta and to the west by the Volta River Delta and is characterized by several coastal infrastructures, of which the most important are the deep water harbors of Lomé, Cotonou, and Lagos. In this study, an enhanced version of the CASCADE coastal evolution model was implement

Nanocomposites, formed by incorporating nanoparticles into a matrix of standard materials, are increasing on the market. Little focus has been directed towards safe disposal and recycling of these new materials even though the disposal has been identified as a phase of the products' life cycle with a high risk of uncontrolled emissions of nanomaterials. In this study, we investigate if the carbon

The ultrafast structural dynamics of water following inner-shell ionization is a crucial issue in high-energy radiation chemistry. We have exposed isolated water molecules to a short X-ray pulse from a free-electron laser and detected momenta of all produced ions in coincidence. By combining experimental results and theoretical modeling, we can image dissociation dynamics of individual molecules i

This chapter examines the increasing potential of international criminal law to advance hegemonic claims over the meaning of concepts relevant beyond its own field. By building on the Gramscian conceptualisation of hegemony and the role of law therein, I suggest that international criminal law advances a certain understanding of violence, that obscures and normalises types of violence that are bey

A new, and only the third known species of the Neotropical montane genus Oressinoma Doubleday is described—O. sorina n. sp., from the Andes of central Peru. It is distinguishable immediately from the other two congeners by the shape of the hindwing underside submarginal orange band, and by the male genitalia. The systematics of Oressinoma are reviewed. A preliminary analysis is carried out based o

Online measurements of the raw gas composition, including tars and water, during biomass gasification provide valuable information in fundamental investigations and for process control. Mainly consisting of hydrocarbons, tars can, in principle, be measured using Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy. However, an instrument subjected to raw gas runs the risk of condensation of tars on opt

Pre-understanding – our presuppositions of reality – underlies all research. Many researchers probably also draw productively on their pre-understanding in their studies. However, very few rationales and methodological resources exist for how researchers can enrich their research by mobilizing their pre-understanding more actively and systematically. We elaborate and propose a framework for how re

Gluten proteins are intrinsically disordered proteins that form extensive aggregated networks in wheat seeds, where they are stored as a nutrient source for the embryo. A modelling approach involving computational biology with Monte-Carlo algorithms and wet laboratory studies, including HPLC analysis, was applied to unravel the aggregational and hydrogelforming properties of the gluten proteins. T

Spatially and temporally resolved in situ measurements of HCN in a steady state tube furnace have been performed using mid-infrared polarization spectroscopy (IRPS). Such measurements are important for the understanding of the detailed HCN chemistry, including pyrolysis, gas phase production, and gas phase consumption. The measurements presented here are in agreement with existing models for HCN c

Gut-associated lymphoid tissues (GALT) serve as key priming sites for intestinal adaptive immune responses. Most of our understanding of GALT function and development arises from studies in mice. However, the diversity, structure and cellular composition of GALT differs markedly between mammalian species and the developmental window in which distinct GALT structures develop in large mammals remain
