Dementia and survival in parkinson disease: A 12-year population study (2008)
Journal Article
Buter, T. C., van den Hout, A., Matthews, F. E., Larsen, J. P., Brayne, C., & Aarsland, D. (2008). Dementia and survival in parkinson disease: A 12-year population study. Neurology, 70(13), 1017-1022. https://doi.org/10.1212/01.wnl.0000306632.43729.24

The risk for dementia in Parkinson disease (PD) is high, with important clinical consequences for patients with PD. However, the absolute risk of dementia and how it affects survival in PD are not known. Such questions are important for patients, the...

The role of the right cerebral hemisphere in processing novel metaphoric expressions: A transcranial magnetic stimulation study (2008)
Journal Article
Pobric, G., Mashal, N., Faust, M., & Lavidor, M. (2008). The role of the right cerebral hemisphere in processing novel metaphoric expressions: A transcranial magnetic stimulation study. Journal of cognitive neuroscience, 20(1), 170-181. https://doi.org/10.1162/jocn.2008.20005

Abstract Previous research suggests that the right hemisphere (RH) may contribute uniquely to the processing of metaphoric language. However, causal relationships between local brain activity in the RH and metaphors comprehension were never establish...

Under the European Union Water Framework Directive, Member States must put in place a river basin planning framework to determine what measures are necessary to maintain and improve the ecological status for all surface water bodies. The governmental... Read More about Developing environmental standards for abstractions from UK rivers to implement the EU water framework directive.

Understanding and Explaining International Terrorism: On The Interrelation between Human and Global Security (2008)
Journal Article
Beyer, C. (2008). Understanding and Explaining International Terrorism: On The Interrelation between Human and Global Security. Human security journal, 7, 62 - 76

This article compares Galtung's concept of "structural violence" with the one of "human security," and shows why economic and political constraints on human potential should be considered as rootcauses for international terrorism. Applying game theor... Read More about Understanding and Explaining International Terrorism: On The Interrelation between Human and Global Security.

Towards a structured approach to building qualitative reasoning models and simulations (2008)
Journal Article
Bredeweg, B., Salles, P., Bouwer, A., Liem, J., Nuttle, T., Cioaca, E., …Zitek, A. (2008). Towards a structured approach to building qualitative reasoning models and simulations. Ecological informatics, 3(1), 1-12. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ecoinf.2007.02.002

Successful transfer and uptake of qualitative reasoning technology for modelling and simulation in a variety of domains has been hampered by the lack of a structured methodology to support formalisation of ideas. We present a framework that structure... Read More about Towards a structured approach to building qualitative reasoning models and simulations.
