BACKGROUND In absence of a positive family history, the diagnosis of fatal familial insomnia (FFI) might be difficult because of atypical clinical features and low sensitivity of diagnostic tests. FFI patients usually do not fulfil the established classification criteria for Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD); therefore, a prion disease is not always suspected. OBJECTIVE To propose an update of ...

Do developing countries derive benefits from foreign financial investment (FFI) in the same way as they do from FDI? Through analyses in a stylized framework of foreign investment, this paper concludes that due to the lack of well functioning financial markets and the lack of technology, FFI flows may not be allocated and utilized as efficiently in developing countries as FDI. The frequently cl...

The prediction of diffuse herbicide losses to surface waters using process-based models is data and time demanding. There is a need for simpler and more efficient catchment screening tools. We developed and tested a new proxy for screening catchments for their vulnerability to diffuse herbicide losses relying on widely available river flow data only. The proxy combines the fast flow index (FFI)...

The HEXACO personality model is a six-dimensional that partially independent from the Big Five (Zettler et.al., 2020).
