Development of evidence-based clinical guidelines to raising standards of medical care in diabetes is a core element of coping with the global diabetes epidemic. The purpose of this study was to develop a systematic clinical diabetes guideline from the latest scientific evidences and also to localize its recommendations according to regional and cultural needs of our society. Searches were cond...

Chromosomal DNA from Coxiella burnetii Scurry Q217 was screened for the presence of plasmid-homologous sequences. Total DNA from Scurry Q217 was digested with NotI, and the resulting DNA fragments were separated by contour-clamped homogeneous electric field pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (CHEF-PFGE). Following hybridization with biotin-labeled QpH1 plasmid as a probe, two DNA fragments of 40 ...

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS First and foremost, I wish to thank my supervisors Dr. Yoshifumi Futaana and Prof. Stas Barabash at IRF and Prof. Bert Vermeersen at Tu Delft, for supporting this exciting Master's thesis project. Special thanks go to Dr. Yoshifumi Futaana for countless valuable discussions and teachings by the drawing board. Thanks go to all my friends and colleagues at IRF for advice and supp...

The association between cervical spine disorders (CSD) and temporomandibular disorders (TMD) has been extensively investigated. However, no studies investigating the relationship between the level of jaw disability and neck disability have been published. Therefore, the objective of this study was to determine whether there was a relationship between neck disability measured using the neck disa...

Cognitive control – the capacity to carry out goal-directed behavior in the face of compelling or distracting alternatives – is a hallmark of human cognitive function. One of the defining, and best documented findings concerning cognitive control is the stark limitation on its ability for multitasking – the simultaneous execution of multiple controldemanding tasks. Despite a large empirical lit...

In experiments, people do not always appear to infer the information of other players from their choices. To understand this thinking process further, we use “Mousetracking” to record which game payoffs subjects look at, and for how long, in games of private information with three information states, which vary in strategic complexity. Subjects often deviate from Nash equilibrium choices, conve...

We assessed in an experimental design whether the stress response towards a work task was moderated by the autonomy to choose a break during the assigned time to complete the task. This setting is defined in accordance with the theoretical framework of the job-demand-control (JDC) model of work related stress. The findings from naturalistic investigations of a stress-buffering effect of autonom...
