Education for sustainability : Sourcing inner qualities and capacities for transformation
The United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals state that education is both an end and a means for achieving sustainable development. Currently, education for sustainability focuses on (assessing and addressing) the external world of ecosystems, wider socio-economic structures, technology, and governance dynamics. A major shortcoming of such approaches is the neglect of inner dimensions and cap
The Social Structure of Entrepreneurial Education as a Scientific Field
Entrepreneurial education as a scientific field can be regarded as an emerging and growing area of research. In this study we pay particular attention to the community of scholars involved in entrepreneurial education. The aim of the paper is to explore how scholars within the field have integrated into larger scholarly communities. Based on a unique database and web-based responses from 313 entre
Mortality after surgery in Europe: a 7 day cohort study
Background Clinical outcomes after major surgery are poorly described at the national level. Evidence of heterogeneity between hospitals and health-care systems suggests potential to improve care for patients but this potential remains unconfi rmed. The European Surgical Outcomes Study was an international study designed to assess outcomes after non-cardiac surgery in Europe.Methods We did this 7
Global patient outcomes after elective surgery: prospective cohort study in 27 low-, middle- and high-income countries
BackgroundAs global initiatives increase patient access to surgical treatments, there remains a need to understand the adverse effects of surgery and define appropriate levels of perioperative care.MethodsWe designed a prospective international 7-day cohort study of outcomes following elective adult inpatient surgery in 27 countries. The primary outcome was in-hospital complications. Secondary out
Intraoperative transfusion practices in Europe
BackgroundTransfusion of allogeneic blood influences outcome after surgery. Despite widespread availability of transfusion guidelines, transfusion practices might vary among physicians, departments, hospitals and countries. Our aim was to determine the amount of packed red blood cells (pRBC) and blood products transfused intraoperatively, and to describe factors determining transfusion throughout
Low incubation temperature slows the development of cold tolerance in a precocial bird
Incubating birds trade off self-maintenance for keeping eggs warm. This causes lower incubation temperature in more challenging conditions, with consequences for a range of offspring traits. It is not yet clear how low developmental temperature affects cold tolerance early in life. This is ecologically important because before full thermoregulatory capacity is attained, precocial chicks must switc
Modelling daily gross primary productivity with sentinel-2 data in the nordic region–comparison with data from modis
The high-resolution Sentinel-2 data potentially enable the estimation of gross primary productivity (GPP) at finer spatial resolution by better capturing the spatial variation in a heterogeneous landscapes. This study investigates the potential of 10 m resolution reflectance from the Sentinel-2 Multispectral Instrument to improve the accuracy of GPP estimation across Nordic vegetation types, compa

A wave-based analysis for acoustic transmission for fluid-filled elastic waveguides
This paper describes an original numerical prediction technique developed for the analysis of coupled vibro-acoustic problems in fluid waveguides. Specifically it is is a wave-based method. Unlike the conventional element-based methods, this technique uses wave functions that satisfy the governing equations to describe the dynamic variables exactly. One advantage is that fine domain discretization

Repeated Parental Singing During Kangaroo Care Improved Neural Processing of Speech Sound Changes in Preterm Infants at Term Age
Preterm birth carries a risk for adverse neurodevelopment. Cognitive dysfunctions, such as language disorders may manifest as atypical sound discrimination already in early infancy. As infant-directed singing has been shown to enhance language acquisition in infants, we examined whether parental singing during skin-to-skin care (kangaroo care) improves speech sound discrimination in preterm infant
Trust in the academy : a conceptual framework for understanding trust on academic web profiles
Purpose: Institutional and commercial web profiles that provide biobibliographic information about researchers are used for promotional purposes but also as information sources. In the latter case, the profiles' (re)presentations of researchers may be used to assess whether a researcher can be trusted. The article introduces a conceptual framework of how trust in researchers may be formed based on

RIC3 variants are not associated with Parkinson's disease in large European, Latin American, or East Asian cohorts
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a complex neurodegenerative disorder in which both rare and common genetic variants contribute to disease risk. Multiple genes have been reported to be linked to monogenic PD but these only explain a fraction of the observed familial aggregation. Rare variants in RIC3 have been suggested to be associated with PD in the Indian population. However, replication studies yie

Based on the personal and professional stories of 30 women, this article presents the results of a pioneering research on gender mainstreaming in Colombia. The objective is to understand it in three different areas: the academia, the NGO sector, and the government, in order to analyze the intersectional resistance as a way to achieve structural changes against the multiple oppressions experienced

For more than a decade, the Centres d’aide et de lutte contre les agressions à caractère sexuel (CALACS) have been involved in developing an intersectional approach, responding to needs emerging from their daily practices. The partial results of the action-research that followed the CALACS in this endeavor show that, despite significant efforts and the recognition of intersectional needs, many obs
