Despite modernization and globalization being at the forefront of the society, religion still seems to be dominant and evolving concept in response to the expanding international relations. This might be noticed with the global development of religious nationalism. Most religious nationalist parties are characterized with puritanical element that color their political platforms and ways of attaining power. Furthermore, in many nations, religious nationalists argue for economic austerity or severe anti-corruption measures via moral appeals and rhetoric.

The thesis will argue by implementing the secularization thesis and its critical discourse as the theoretical concept and analyses the rise of Hindu nationalism throughout history. As well, explore its evolution from its birth to...

Gene therapy is an attractive option for treatment of neurological diseases. Delivery of the therapeutic gene at the proper location is key for an effective treatment and remains challenging, especially in larger animals. For translation from smaller (rodents) to larger animals, dimensions are different, but also the immune system plays a more prominent role in larger animals. Direct intracranial parenchymal infusions usually result in local transduction of tissue, whereas intrathecal infusions result in a more widespread transduction in the brain. Depending on the indication, the desired expression pattern of the therapeutic gene is to be elucidated and is dictating the route of infusion.
