Virtual reality (VR) offers promising opportunities for procedural learning, particularly in preserving intangible cultural heritage. Advances in generative artificial intelligence (Gen-AI) further enrich these experiences by enabling adaptive learning pathways. However, evaluating such adaptive systems using traditional temporal metrics remains challenging due to the inherent variability in Gen-A

One purpose of academic development work is to ensure university teachers use evidence-based teaching approaches. Academic developers often teach colleagues about the latest teaching approaches and model these to enable teachers to see the use of evidence-based methods in practice, aiming to inspire teachers to adopt similar approaches. Active learning and co-creation are approaches that have been

INTRODUCTION: In Sweden, most older adults continue to age in dwellings they have lived in for many years, with a small proportion relocating. Longitudinal studies examining relocation histories, especially among younger old adults and those beyond frail populations, are scarce. This study aimed to describe individuals who stayed in their homes (stayers) and those who relocated (movers) while iden

Antibiotic persistence arises when a subset of cells in an otherwise susceptible bacterial population temporarily exhibits elevated tolerance to bactericidal antibiotics. While significant progress has been made in elucidating persister mechanisms, much of this research has focused on Gram-negative bacteria, and these findings are not always applicable to Gram-positive species. This study explores

Greta Thunberg has gained increasing attention in global climate politics, in particular since the Fridays for Future movement she initiated in 2018. Attention has also come with criticism, denouncing her for being part of a transnational youth climate elite made up of privileged youth. However, does such an elite really exist, and what does it mean for global climate politics? This article invest

To address the absence of the comprehensive analysis of energy-water-carbon emissions nexus between large-scale economies and different industries and the inability to predict policy impacts across industrial hierarchies, this study develops a novel framework integrating environmentally-extended multi-regional input-output analysis with structural decomposition analysis and policy-driven scenario

This article offers a critical review of the history of international law, questioning its Eurocentric and state-centric foundations. From the perspective of Third World Approaches to International Law (TWAIL), it highlights the constitutive role of colonialism in shaping the international legal order, particularly in doctrines such as sovereignty. It examines the work of Francisco de Vitoria, who

BACKGROUND: People with intellectual disabilities (ID) are known to have a higher risk for a wide range of health conditions compared to the general population. However, there is little research comparing a more comprehensive range of diseases and conditions at different ages. Therefore, the aim of this study was to explore the overall age-specific diagnostic pattern among people with ID compared

PurposeBlockchain technology (BCT) is a novel and disruptive innovation that can transform procurement processes in various industries, including the food sector. BCT can offer benefits such as transparency, traceability, security, and efficiency for procuring food products, which are essential for ensuring food security and quality. However, BCT faces several challenges that hinder its adoption a

This paper explores an initiative by a local government in Rättvik, Sweden, to increase the consumption of local food in the municipal kitchens. It explores public procurement of local food as a way for local governments to address sustainability and climate goals while meeting residents’ demand for ‘good’ local food. Through a qualitative case study reviewing food and procurement policies across

Permafrost degradation and desertification have been identified as two major land surface processes occurring on the Qinghai‒Xizang Plateau. However, the effect of desertification on permafrost degradation remains poorly understood. In this study, land surface process simulations are used to demonstrate that climate change, characterised by increased warming‒wetting trends alongside reduced contin

Background: Chronic myelomonocytic leukemia is a clonal hematological disorder with an inherent risk of transformation to acute myeloid leukemia. Recently, there has been exponential discovery of molecular abnormalities in patients with chronic myelomonocytic leukemia. Some of these mutations independently contribute to a higher risk of transformation and result in inferior overall survival. Treat

Acute hemolytic transfusion reaction (AHTR) is a rare but life-threatening complication of transfusion. We herein report a case of anti-Jkb IgM-related AHTR. Two hours after an 80-year-old man with myelodysplastic syndrome received a packed red blood cell (RBC) A+/Rh-/Jkb+/c- transfusion, he developed acute respiratory failure and a fever. Although he had tested negative in routine screening tests

BACKGROUND: Frontotemporal dementia (FTD) with right anterior temporal lobe (RATL) predominant atrophy is an emerging area of interest. Recent findings by the International Working Group (IWG) have identified this subtype as having a distinct clinical profile within the FTD spectrum (Ulugut et al., 2024, A&D). However, its genetic and pathological underpinnings remain unexplored in large, mult

The robotic future is nearly here, and East Asia stands at the forefront of this shift. East Asian firms innovating in this sector are backed in various ways by governments committed to competing for leadership in robotics. This field promises to unleash heightened productivity and precision in manufacturing, while the opportunities in services are also enormous. The expanded installation of robot

From the introduction: "If you are a teacher in higher education, you are probably focused on student learning and committed to improving your teaching. Here, we introduce you to the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL), the 'inquiry into teaching and learning for the purposes of improving [it] in context and contributing to what we know about [it], in support of the broader aims of higher
