Parity-conserving Cooper-pair transport and ideal superconducting diode in planar germanium

Superconductor/semiconductor hybrid devices have attracted increasing interest in the past years. Superconducting electronics aims to complement semiconductor technology, while hybrid architectures are at the forefront of new ideas such as topological superconductivity and protected qubits. In this work, we engineer the induced superconductivity in two-dimensional germanium hole gas by varying the

Rapid diversification of a free-living protist is driven by adaptation to climate and habitat

Microbial eukaryotes (protists) have major functional roles in aquatic ecosystems, including the biogeochemical cycling of elements as well as occupying various roles in the food web. Despite their importance for ecosystem function, the factors that drive diversification in protists are not known. Here, we aimed to identify the factors that drive differentiation and, subsequently, speciation in a

Oral glucocorticoid use in patients with rheumatoid arthritis initiating TNF-inhibitors, tocilizumab or abatacept : Results from the international TOCERRA and PANABA observational collaborative studies

Objective: To evaluate and compare the use of oral glucocorticoids with three classes of bDMARDs in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Methods: We included patients from 13 observational registries treated with a TNF-inhibitor, abatacept or tocilizumab and with available information on the use of oral glucocorticoids. The main outcome was oral glucocorticoid withdrawal. A McNemar test was us

Economic Burden of Parkinson’s Disease : A Multinational, Real-World, Cost-of-Illness Study

Background: Parkinson’s disease is now one of the fastest-growing neurodegenerative disorders in the developed world, with an increasing prevalence and associated socioeconomic costs. Progression of the disease leads to a gradual deterioration in patients’ quality of life, despite optimal treatment, and both medical and societal needs increase, often with the assistance of paid and/or unpaid careg

Global perspectives of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on learning science in higher education

The COVID-19 pandemic required higher education institutions to rapidly transition to Emergency Remote Instruction (ERI) with little preparation. Discussions are now underway globally to learn the lessons of COVID-19 and to use this knowledge to shape the future of learning science in higher education. In this study, we examined the experiences of instructors and students to ERI in three universit

Call the on-Call : Authentic Team Training on an Interprofessional Training Ward - A Case Study

PURPOSE: There is a disconnect between how healthcare teams commonly are trained and how they act in reality. The purpose with this paper was to present a learning activity that prepares healthcare students to authentic teamwork where team members are fluent and move between different localities, and to explore how this setting affects learning.METHODS: A learning activity "Call the On-Call" consi

Medical residents' and teachers' perceptions of the digital format of nation-wide didactic courses for psychiatry residents in Sweden : a survey-based observational study

BACKGROUND: This study aimed to explore residents' and teachers' perceptions of the digital format of Metis (a national education network in Sweden) didactic courses for psychiatry residents in Sweden to guide post-pandemic curriculum development.METHODS: An online attitude survey was developed and sent out to 725 residents in psychiatry and 237 course directors/teachers. Data were examined descri

Genome-Wide Association Studies of 3 Distinct Recovery Phenotypes in Mild Ischemic Stroke

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Stroke genetic research has made substantial progress in the past decade. Its recovery application, however, remains behind, in part due to its reliance on the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score as a measure of poststroke outcome. The mRS does not map well to biological processes because numerous psychosocial factors drive much of what the mRS captures. Second, the mRS co

How workplace learning is put into practice : contrasting the medical and nursing contexts from the perspective of teaching and learning regimes

Health professions education places significant emphasis on learning in the clinical environment. While experiences of workplace learning have been extensively investigated, practices of workplace learning explored through field work have been less utilized. The theoretical framework of teaching and learning regimes acknowledges aspects of power and conflict in its consideration of what guides tea

Faculty development participants' experiences of working with change in clinical settings

OBJECTIVES: Many universities offer faculty development to support teachers in developing and improving clinical education in the health professions. Although research shows outcomes on individual levels after faculty development, little is known about its contribution to change within the organisation. To advance current faculty development and ensure that it can support wider educational change

Vad är och vad kan högskolepedagogisk forskning vara? Respons på Sverre Wides diskussionsinlägg

The point of departure of this article is Wide’s description of the development of educational research in higher education as being closely linked to the work carried out within educational development units at higher education institutions around the country. In other words, emphasis is on how higher education development has grown over time. However, the authors proposed delimitation of higher

The fluorescent ligand bTVBT2 reveals increased p-tau uptake by retinal microglia in Alzheimer’s disease patients and App NL−F/NL−F mice

Background: Amyloid beta (Aβ) deposits and hyperphosphorylated tau (p-tau) accumulation have been identified in the retina of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) patients and transgenic AD mice. Previous studies have shown that retinal microglia engulf Aβ, but this property decreases in AD patients. Whether retinal microglia also take up p-tau and if this event is affected in AD is yet not described. In the

What Students Value in Their Teachers – An Analysis of Male and Female Student Nominations to a Teaching Award

Teaching awards have become a way to acknowledge the importance of high-quality teaching for many higher education institutions. The purpose of this study is to investigate which images of the “good educator” emerge in students’ nominations for a teaching award at a Swedish university, and how these images relate to the gender of nominees and nominating students. We want to explore possible bias l

Hello GPT! Goodbye home examination? An exploratory study of AI chatbots impact on university teachers’ assessment practices

AI chatbots have recently fuelled debate regarding education practices in higher education institutions worldwide. Focusing on Generative AI and ChatGPT in particular, our study examines how AI chatbots impact university teachers’ assessment practices, exploring teachers’ perceptions about how ChatGPT performs in response to home examination prompts in undergraduate contexts. University teachers (
