Investigation and reclassification of four mesosiderites—Implications for their formation

Mesosiderites are rare, differentiated meteorites, so-called stony-iron meteorites—they are impact breccias composed of an unusual mix of crustal basalt and pyroxenite, core-derived metal, but no mantle materials. This odd mixture makes their origin enigmatic and has inspired many different formation theories over the last several decades. Some of the outstanding questions have regarded the origin

Georgia in Transition : Perspectives on the Europeanization of Higher Music Education

Music and Performing Arts is one of the fields Georgia can pride itself on internationally. While the country is in transition as it officially embarks on its long path to the European Union membership, this study explores the process of Europeanization of Higher Music Education in Georgia. Authors analyze how Higher Music Educational Institutions employ European projects for organizational change

Clinical photon-counting CT in living patients detects intraplaque haemorrhage and thrombus in carotid plaques

In this study of human carotid endarterectomy plaques (using 1128 regions of interest in a total of 10 plaques), we found that photon counting computed tomography (PCCT) can differentiate between attenuation and the spectral patterns of calcium, intra-plaque haemorrhage, thrombus, fibrosis, necrosis and lipid core. This is the first study to show the potential of PCCT in living patients using clin

Can Plasma ADAMTS13 Differentiate Patients With Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension From Other Forms of Pulmonary Hypertension and Dyspnea Control Patients

Background: Multimarker panels of blood-borne biomarkers could aid in shortening the diagnostic delay of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). Research Question: Can any of the 61 proteins included in the study, related to pathways known to be involved in PAH pathophysiology (eg, coagulation, inflammation, fibrosis), differentiate PAH from other forms of pulmonary hypertension (PH) and/or dyspnea

Training Legal Fact-Finders to Recognize Probabilistic Fallacies

An experiment was conducted to investigate the extent to which training in Bayesian thinking helps lawyers to recognize probabilistic fallacies in reasoning about legal evidence. The study showed that a limited amount of training (5 h) led to a significant improvement. However, some probabilistic fallacies emerged as more deceptive than others. The inversion fallacies (true-positive inversion and

Time series anomaly detection in helpline call trends for early detection of COVID-19 spread across Sweden, 2020

Timely detection and surveillance of disease community spread is a potent tool for implementing effective public health interventions. This study investigates the National Telehealth Service (1177 helpline) across 18 regions in Sweden in 2020 to identify early signals of community transmission of COVID-19 at the beginning of the pandemic. Focusing on calls related to key COVID-19 symptoms (cough,

Det här masterprojektet tar sig an utmaningen att engagera föräldrar och barn i gemensamt läsande genom att skapa inbjudande läsmiljöer i vardagliga väntrum. Trots att föräldrar vet att läsning är viktigt har många svårt att hitta tid i en hektisk vardag och känner sig överväldigade av det moderna livets krav. Genom att erbjuda en lugn plats för läsning i miljöer där barn och föräldrar redan befinThis Master’s thesis project tackles the challenge of engaging parents and children in shared reading by transforming everyday waiting areas into inviting reading spaces. Although parents know that reading is important, many struggle to find the time amidst daily pressures and feel overwhelmed by the demands of modern life. By providing a calm reading space in environments where children and paren

On Track to Climate Resilience? Insights from Japanese Railways

Japan has a long history of managing natural hazards due to its geography and geology. Simultaneously, it is known as a country with a railway system that is highly punctual, reliable, and safe. This research uses an exploratory approach to review climate change adaptation and disaster risk reduction practices in the Greater Tokyo Area. Unstructured interviews with various stakeholders and a liter
