Background: Parkinson's disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder associated with substantial costs which increase with progression state. However, few studies have investigated the association between costs and health related quality of life. Objectives: To estimate the relationship between costs and health related quality of life, measured by the Parkinson's disease Quality of Lif
Precision medicine has the potential to transform healthcare by moving from one-size-fits-all to personalised treatment and care. This transition has been greatly facilitated through new high-throughput sequencing technologies that can provide the unique molecular profile of each individual patient, along with the rapid development of targeted therapies directed to the Achilles heels of each disea
Media portrayal of older adults is an expression of social realities and expectations, and the image of ageing has significant implications for intergenerational relations. A life course perspective is suggested for viewing old age as the final stage of successive lifespan development and investigating the social meaning of old age through comparisons of life stages.

Objectives: Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly tested and integrated into breast cancer screening. Still, there are unresolved issues regarding its possible ethical, social and legal impacts. Furthermore, the perspectives of different actors are lacking. This study investigates the views of breast radiologists on AI-supported mammography screening, with a focus on attitudes, perceived be
Objectives Structural valve deterioration is an inherent limitation of bioprosthetic valves; however, the time it takes to develop varies depending on the valve model. The Sorin Soprano aortic bioprosthetic valve (Sorin Group/LivaNova, Milan, Italy) lacks reported long-term results. This study aims to establish the long-term durability of this bioprosthetic valve in a nationwide cohort. Methods Al
Student housing as a type of housing is regularly overlooked in architectural historiography and theory. Yet, student housing is a category of housing that an ever-larger portion of society inhabit, albeit for a limited time. Looking more closely at this category of housing reveals that it is a field of study that runs parallel to society’s more general questions of housing whilst also showing var
This thesis has two values. On one side, it aims at being a contribution to a betterunderstanding of the original concept of distributed economies. On the other side, it aspires atproviding useful decision criteria to those stakeholders that plan to locally develop a biogassystem.This thesis is developed from the Distributed Economies concept, which envisionsdecentralized, self-reliant and synergi
