The flow-based society and its vulnerability

This report presents a meticulous review of the background of today’s flow-based society and its vulnerability. Furthermore, there is a discussion about how to define flow-based disruption risks, and how their consequences, including the domino effects, can be described. Also the theory areas, addressing this kind of risks, are treated in this report. The modern society of today is, to a great ext

Learning spaces for health sciences – what is the role of e-learning in physiotherapy and occupational therapy education? A literature review

Our aim was to explore the current state of e-learning activities during physiotherapy and occupational therapy education, in relation to theories and models about learning. What kind of e-learning activities were described and which were the intentions behind the use of digital support expressed in current physiotherapy and occupational therapy literature? The search was done using four different

Review of Orlando Crowcroft, Rock in a Hard Place: Music and Mayhem in the Middle East

This book by experienced journalist and metal fan Orlando Crowcroft is a must read for anyone curious about counter-culture in the Middle East. It contains six country studies (Lebanon, Egypt, Israel/Palestine, Saudi Arabia, Iran, and Syria) in which Crowcroft’s interviews with musicians are the key elements.With the knowledge of a music connoisseur, he guides the reader in the subcultural music s

Subadult ravens generally don't transfer valuable tokens to conspecifics when there is nothing to gain for themselves

The extent to which humans help each other is extraordinary in itself, and difficult to explain from an evolutionary perspective. Therefore, there has been a recent surge in studies investigating the evolution of prosocial behavior using a comparative approach. Nevertheless, most of these studies have focused on primates only, and little is known about other animal orders. In a previous study, com

A third generation glucose biosensor based on cellobiose dehydrogenase immobilized on a glassy carbon electrode decorated with electrodeposited gold nanoparticles : Characterization and application in human saliva

Efficient direct electron transfer (DET) between a cellobiose dehydrogenase mutant from Corynascus thermophilus (CtCDH C291Y) and a novel glassy carbon (GC)-modified electrode, obtained by direct electrodeposition of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) was realized. The electrode was further modified with a mixed self-assembled monolayer of 4-aminothiophenol (4-APh) and 4-mercaptobenzoic acid (4-MBA), by u

Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy in Schizophrenia : Evidence for Glutamatergic Dysfunction and Impaired Energy Metabolism

In the past couple of decades, major efforts were made to increase reliability of metabolic assessments by magnetic resonance methods. Magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) has been valuable for providing in vivo evidence and investigating biomarkers in neuropsychiatric disorders, namely schizophrenia. Alterations of glutamate and glutamine levels in brains of schizophrenia patients relative to he

HAPT2D : high accuracy of prediction of T2D with a model combining basic and advanced data depending on availability

OBJECTIVE: Type 2 diabetes arises from the interaction of physiological and lifestyle risk factors. Our objective was to develop a model for predicting the risk of T2D, which could use various amounts of background information.RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: We trained a survival analysis model on 8483 people from three large Finnish and Spanish data sets, to predict the time until incident T2D. All

Conceptual Blending Monitoring Students’ Use of Metaphorical Concepts to Further the Learning of Science

The aim of this study is to explore how tertiary science students’ use of metaphors in their popular science article writing may influence their understanding of subject matter. For this purpose, six popular articles written by students in physics or geology were analysed by means of a close textual analysis and a metaphor analysis. In addition, semi-structured interviews were conducted with the s

The risk management process and the supply chain security

In this report the risk management process is presented as consisting of 14 different steps and each step is described and discussed. Also widened aspects on the risk management process are treated, as well as the economic significance. The modern society of today is, in many respects, a vulnerable society and to a great extent built up round supply chains. In these strictly integrated chains, wit
