English Medium Instruction in Multilingual and Multicultural Universities : Academics’ Voices from the Northern European Context

English Medium Instruction in Multilingual and Multicultural Universities analyses the issues related to EMI at both a local and international level and provides a broad perspective on this topic. Drawing on field studies from a Northern European context and based primarily on research carried out at the University of Copenhagen, this book:• introduces a topical global issue that is central to the

Poland and the advocacy for a wider Central and Eastern Europe

The Russian invasion of Ukraine has brought an unprecedented chance to end the existence of harmful stereotype of Central and Eastern Europe as a region where the Kremlin has special interests. It has cost a lot of political efforts to bring Czechia, Poland, or the Baltic states out of this equation and join the Western institutional framework. Now there is enough momentum for doing the same with

High-resolution spectroscopic techniques for studying rare-earth ions in nanoparticles

Rare-earth doped nanoparticles can exhibit narrow optical and spin linewidths at low temperatures. These outstanding properties for nanomaterials make them attractive for quantum technologies based on optically addressable spins such as quantum memories and computers. Although accurate linewidth measurements have been reported using, for example, spectral hole burning or photon echo techniques, so

Modeling Human Hematopoiesis Using the CRISPR/Cas9 System

Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) have the ability to self-renew and to give rise to all blood cells of the different lineages, and are thereby responsible for the replenishment of blood cells throughout life. These cells are tightly regulated by extrinsic and intrinsic regulators, such as signals from the bone marrow microenvironment, complex transcription factor networks and epigenetic regulators.

Differences between Rural and Urban Practices in the Response to the COVID-19 Pandemic : Outcomes from the PRICOV-19 Study in 38 Countries

This paper explores the differences between rural and urban practices in the response to the COVID-19 pandemic, emphasizing aspects such as management of patient flow, infection prevention and control, information processing, communication and collaboration. Using a cross-sectional design, data were collected through the online PRICOV-19 questionnaire sent to general practices in 38 countries. Rur

Bosättningen : Muslimska brödraskapets organisation och vision i Sverige

År 2018 kom Sameh Egyptsons uppmärksammade bok, "Holy White Lies -The Muslim Brotherhood in the West - Case Sweden", ut på arabiska och engelska. Första delen av översättningen heter Erövringen (2020) och handlar om hur Muslimska Brödraskapet, MB framställer sig som ett religiöst samfund samtidigt som de försöker ta sig in i partier och erövra positioner på den svenska politiska arenan. Andra dele

CLIMBra - Climate Change Dataset for Brazil

General Circulation and Earth System Models are the most advanced tools for investigating climate responses to future scenarios of greenhouse gas emissions, playing the role of projecting the climate throughout the century. Nevertheless, climate projections are model-dependent and may show systematic biases, requiring a bias correction for any further application. Here, we provide a dataset based

AI-Driven Drug Response Prediction for Personalized Cancer Medicine

Artificial intelligence (AI) has been used to develop drug sensitivity prediction models, raising the opportunity of using it for personalized cancer medicine. This chapter describes recent advancements in drug response prediction methods using machine learning algorithms. Pharmacogenomic datasets come with different types of biological data including genetic mutations, gene expression, copy numbe

Making waves : A vision for digital water utilities

Digitalisation has developed over half a century and is one of the global trends defining society of today and future. Digitalisation is envisioned to help water utilities to become: i) community orientated and digitally integrated with customers and society; ii) digitally transformed end-to-end throughout the value-chain and interconnected between business units; iii) predictive & proactive,

A thermo-electro-mechanically coupled cohesive zone formulation for predicting interfacial damage

Material interfaces can occur at different material length scales. Understanding the properties and the behaviour of interfaces is of utmost importance because interfaces can significantly influence the effective constitutive response of the material under consideration. Based on the fundamentals of electro-mechanically coupled cohesive zone formulations for electrical conductors and on the associ

MafB-dependent neurotransmitter signaling promotes β cell migration in the developing pancreas

Hormone secretion from pancreatic islets is essential for glucose homeostasis and loss or dysfunction of islet cells is a hallmark of type 2 diabetes. Maf transcription factors are critical for establishing and maintaining adult endocrine cell function. However, during pancreas development, MafB is not only expressed in insulin- and glucagon-producing cells, but also Neurog3+ endocrine progenitor

Assessing the decennial, reassessing the global : Understanding European Union normative power in global politics

This concluding article assesses the past decade of international scholarship on the European Union (EU) and normative power as represented by the contributions to the special issue. It argues that the normative power approach (NPA) makes it possible to explain, understand and judge the EU in global politics by rethinking the nature of power and actorness in a globalizing, multilateralizing and mu

Comparing α-Synuclein Fibrils Formed in the Absence and Presence of a Model Lipid Membrane : A Small and Wide-Angle X-Ray Scattering Study

Amyloid fibrils are associated with a number of different neurodegenerative diseases. Detailed knowledge of the fibril structure will be of importance in the search of therapy and may guide experiments to understand amyloid formation. In this paper we investigate the morphology of α-synuclein amyloid fibrils, associated with Parkinson’s disease, formed under different conditions. In particular, we
