During the past two decades, the higher education sector has undergone rapid changes as a result of which many higher education institutions (HEIs) find themselves being compared to other institutions. Global rankings have become the prime mechanism for providing such comparisons. How nations and their HEIs respond to the developments in the higher education sector is context-specific. There is a
BACKGROUND: Global haemostatic tests are often abnormal in critically ill patients, secondary to activation or consumption of coagulation factors or inhibitors. Methods for analysing plasma levels of these factors are, however, not widely available, and the predictive value of global tests is not known. We examined the clinical applicability to predict the outcome of the global haemostatic tests u
This research explores the emerging concept of care infrastructure in the urban periphery of Mexico City, specifically in Iztapalapa, through the lens of urban social sustainability. Based on over 35 semistructured interviews and participant observation, the study analyzes how access to services such as public laundries, take-away food services, and communal spaces contributes to the well-being of
The Global ECT MRI Research Collaboration (GEMRIC) has collected clinical and neuroimaging data of patients treated with electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) from around the world. Results to date have focused on neuroimaging correlates of antidepressant response. GEMRIC sites have also collected longitudinal cognitive data. Here, we summarize the existing GEMRIC cognitive data and provide recommendati
INTRODUCTION: Total alloplastic replacement of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is a viable treatment option for severe TMJ disorders (TMDs) unresponsive to conservative approaches, as well as for reconstruction of congenital or acquired TMJ defects. However, clinical data on indications, outcomes, complications and long-term effects remain limited, and no global registry currently exists. This s
Summary Data on species' demography are essential to detect changes in population size, identify drivers of population change, motivate conservation plans, or evaluate the effectiveness of management. The Arctic Skua Stercorarius parasiticus is a seabird with a circumpolar distribution, which is listed as Endangered on the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) European Red List, al
This paper seeks to further explore the determinants that lead Nordic firms to raise capital through foreign debt issuance rather than domestic debt. Specifically, this study mainly analyzes the firm-specific and bond-specific factors that tend to influence firms to issue bonds in foreign markets. This paper uses quantitative data collection with a Deductive Research Approach. Both Linear Probabil
Atmospheric new particle formation (NPF) is a naturally occurring phenomenon, during which high concentrations of sub-10 nm particles are created through gas to particle conversion. The NPF is observed in multiple environments around the world. Although it has observable influence onto annual total and ultrafine particle number concentrations (PNC and UFP, respectively), only limited epidemiologic

The purpose of this thesis is to examine how soft law frameworks influence compliance behaviour among private security providers (PSPs), focusing on the International Code of Conduct for Private Security Service Providers (ICoC). The study analyses how formal mechanisms like contracts and certifications, as well as informal dynamics like reputation and network engagement shape PSP alignment with t
This study aims to evaluate the accuracy of location (x, y and z) using a Magellan GPS NAV 1000 receiver. The position of a known reference point was compared with 50 fix points measured in two-dimensional (2D) mode (x, y) and with 50 fix points measured in three-dimensional (3D) mode (x, y and z). The mean errors and the root mean square errors (RMSE) in the Euclidian distances between the refere
Problem discussion: Syncron experience a challenge in realizing the full market potential of its newly developed IT-based price management system, Global Price Management (GPM). The system has already been implemented and is currently running with success within the IT-structures of the first customer. The fact that the development of the system has been initiated by a customer, and thereby has le
The increasing feeling of systemic failure among the public gives rise to a growing number of social movements including the climate movement. The global environmental organization 350.org focuses on building, connecting, and empowering the grassroots climate movement by initiating and facilitating different campaigns, e.g. the Fossil Free (FF) Campaign. I conducted in-depth interviews of grassroo
Scanning mass spectrometry by matrix assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry imaging (MALDI-MSI) creates large volumetric global datasets that describe the location and identity of ions registered at each sampling location. While thousands of ion peaks are recorded in a typical whole tissue analysis, only a fraction of these measured molecules are purposefully scrutinized within a g
