Who should be recognized as a refugee? This article seeks to uncover the normative arguments at the core of legal and philosophical conceptions of refugeehood. It identifies three analytically distinct approaches grounding the right to refugee status and argues that all three are normatively inadequate. Refugee status should neither be grounded in individual persecution for specific reasons (class

Recent advances in vibrational spectroscopy techniques have proven to be reliable, fast and operator-independent tools for extracellular vesicles (EVs) study. In an attempt to further reveal the wide potential that the vibrational spectroscopy can achieve in EV characterization, in the present study we analysed the EVs isolated from various cell lines employing Attenuated Total Reflectance Fourier

Background: Effectively identifying individuals exposed to drug underuse, overuse and potentially inappropriate medication (PIM) in older adults is essential for minimizing preventable drug-related harms. Methods: We analysed data from 54,296 individuals aged 60–74 years from the German National Cohort (NAKO). We assessed the frequency of PIM, untreated conditions (medication and vaccination under

Steeds vaker kiezen landen ervoor om rechtspersoonlijkheid te verlenen aan onderdelen van de natuur. Deze korte bijdrage bespreekt die ontwikkeling tegen de achtergrond van het Antropoceen, het tijdperk waarin menselijke invloeden op de aarde voor mens en natuur bepalender en bedreigender zijn dan de grote natuurkrachten. In zoverre het verlenen van rechten aan de natuur bijdraagt aan het opheffen

Background: Increasing evidence suggests that total metabolic tumor volume (tMTV) measured before treatment in lymphoma patients undergoing [18F]fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) PET/CT scans can predict prognosis. However, there is a lack of fast, reliable, and easy-to-perform multilesional segmentation tools with an urgent need to improve tMTV segmentation workflow in clinical practice. Here, we develop

Aims: The European Society of Cardiology (ESC) has developed quality indicators (QIs) specifically for evaluating the care and outcomes for patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). The aim of this study was to evaluate TAVI care in all patients undergoing such procedures in Sweden using the ESC 2023 QIs for TAVI. Methods and results: We used the Swedish Transcatheter Car

This special issue aims to deepen the understanding of the Europeanisation of universities from 1980 to the mid-1990s. By focussing on five universities situated in different European contexts, we aim to provide insight into how Europeanisation has taken place and changed higher education. The geographical diversity and the main differences between universities provide the opportunity to show both
