Abstract:

Intestinal neuropathies have been described in a variety of functional and inflammatory gastrointestinal disorders. Although the degenerative alterations and neuronal are often associated to a lymphocytic inflammatory infiltrate, the underlying mechanisms remain obscure. Potential etiologic factors are neurotropic viruses, since they are able to specifically infect neurons and cause cell damage through direct or indirect mechanisms. Among the neurotrophic viruses the HSV-1 shows several interesting features. HSV-1 is most commonly known to latently infect the trigeminal ganglion of cranial ne

Abstract:

This study seeks to analyse the relationship between the international system and democratic governance. While much has been written in recent times about the impact that democratic states have on the international system, the question of whether the international system promotes, hinders or is in contingent relation to the institutionalisation of democracy has not been theorised to the same extent, especially within the discipline of International Relations. The central hypothesis is that forms of state, democratic and non-democratic, are not simply a consequence of domestic processes and for

Abstract:

Background: The Ministry of Health in Saudi Arabia estimates that there are at least 20,000 strokes per year across the country (126/100,000) and approximately half of those with stroke may develop cognitive dysfunction or mood disorders. However, a review of the literature revealed that research in the area of post-stroke cognitive dysfunction and mood disorders in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) is severely lacking. Accordingly, these studies aimed to bridge the knowledge gap with an emphasis on three central aspects. The first aim was to assess the prevalence of post-stroke cognitive dysf

Abstract:

This article argues that in Colombia, decentralization and electoral reforms adopted in the late 1980s and in the 1991 Constitution – designed to improve democratic quality – brought about a gradual deinstitutionalization of this country’s traditional party system as an unintended consequence. Building upon resource-based theories of party configuration, we contend that in developing countries, where resources are usually crucial for party aggregation, democratizing reforms designed to distribute power and resources in the political system can reduce local candidates’ incentives to join and re

The thesis seeks to explain the reasons for that weakness, relating its contemporary manifestations to more structural causes.

In a democracy, what should a healthcare system do? It is a question of relevance to many disciplines. In this thesis, I examine that question, and add something original to the existing debate by drawing on, and synthesizing, thinking from several disciplines, and especially philosophical ethics, economics and systems theory. Paper 6 in this thesis, entitled “In a democracy, what should a healthcare system do?”, tackles the thesis question directly. The central conclusion of that paper, and of this thesis, is that a healthcare system in a democracy should do as much good as possible, although

In answering these questions, we consider both Chinese and HK history, as to understand how each region's political history has influenced governance in modern HK. We then move

Orientador: Maria Teresa Miceli Kerbauy<br>Resumo: Situada na costa ocidental da África, a Guiné-Bissau entra na onda democrática a partir de 1994, com a realização da primeira eleição livre e transparente após mais de 20 anos sob a governança de um partido único. Com a democracia em curso, a Guiné-Bissau conheceu vários períodos de instabilidade política governativa que impossibilitou o término dos mandatos ou legislaturas. De outro lado, a instabilidade inviabilizou a realização de objetivos de desenvolvimento e redução de pobreza. Nesse contexto político e social marcado por disputas políti

Abstract:

This thesis analyses the sources of public evaluations of democratic regimes from a comparative perspective, a longitudinal perspective and with a case study of Spain. The main argument of the dissertation is that people’s satisfaction with democracy (SWD) depends to a great degree on the quality of democratic processes and the institutional context. This conclusion does not deny the relevance of the well-documented relationship between the status of the economy and SWD. The importance of the economy is clearly confirmed by the current dissertation. Instead, this thesis argues that economic fa

Abstract:

Delegative democracy is a new concept of democratic governance. It is meant as a new system of trust among people. It is derived from principles of direct democracy and presents only minimal form of representation. The voter is not forced to cast his vote directly, but it can be transferred to a delegate. Delegative democracy is based on openness, awareness and trust. It is still only a concept and for real application it has to face rising critics. Main issues are high costs, threat of populism and corruption and overall complexity. Agent-based modelling is chosen to test the validity of dele

Abstract:

Doctor Legum - LLD<br>The adoption of the 2013 Constitution of Zimbabwe heralded a new era with high expectations from ordinary citizens of Zimbabwe. Among other matters, the Constitution provides for a multilevel system of government with government organised at the national, provincial and local levels. The design of this system of government is linked to the need, inter alia, to realise development, build democracy and sustain peace in Zimbabwe. Provincial and local governments are expected to play a role in the realisation of these goals. The question is whether the law and policy governi

Some nations have adopted the idea of the democracy for years; others have not yet and other ones are still in a slow process of transition. The field of studies on the Arabian political systems has testified since the last quarter of 20th century a notorious development. This advance disclosed in the existence of a set of trends that has t
