This study discusses issues around the integration of Syrian refugee children into the Turkish school system by using the case study of a secondary school in the city of Gaziantep in the southeast of Turkey. Based on focus groups with teachers at the school who engage with the growing number of Syrian refugee children in their classrooms, this study highlights in particular the role of Turkish lan
Objective: To determine the value of CT-guided bone core biopsy and investigate factors that affect diagnostic yield and biopsy outcome. Materials and methods: The single-centre retrospective analysis included 447 patients who had CT-guided core biopsy with a 13-G needle (Bonopty®) from January 2016 to December 2021. Histological results or ≥ 6 months of clinical and radiological follow-up served
Within cultural and art theory, there has been an emergence of attention placed on machine vision technologies as introducing a new regime of images and ways of seeing. This paper addresses this subject in the context of environment and nature through an inquiry into machinic ways of seeing cloudscapes. Attention is placed on how the cloud form presents a challenge to the logic of machine vision t
Citizen Science (CS) projects targeting senior citizens and persons with functional impairments are rare, and interest among citizens to become involved in such remains uncertain. There is a lack of systematic analyses as to what distinguishes citizens’ willingness to contribute, and what such involvement could lead to in terms of acquired skills or changed attitudes. Based on a Swedish CS project
In this work, we present cavity ring-down transient absorption spectroscopy (CRD-TAS) as a novel technique to temporally resolve transient signals of two-dimensional samples with an increased sensitivity. The successful detection of coherent artifact signals in transparent materials is hereby demonstrated as an initial proof of concept of the singular CRD-TAS method. These experimental results are
Neurodegenerative diseases share many features, such as inflammation. Accumulating evidence support the role of neuroinflammation in the pathogenesis and treatment of neurodegenerative diseases, and inflammatory markers are suggested important tools to identify disease risk, diagnose disease, monitor disease progression or treatment response, as well as predict clinical outcomes. In Huntington’s d
BACKGROUND: Observational studies have shown that women with an early menopause are at higher risk of stroke compared with women with a later menopause. However, associations with stroke subtypes are inconsistent, and the causality is unclear. METHODS AND RESULTS: We analyzed data of the UK Biobank and EPIC-CVD (European Prospective Investigation Into Cancer and Nutrition-Cardiovascular Diseases)
This project aims to develop a time-resolved spectroscopic method that can resolve and characterize transient processes of optically thin samples. With that purpose, we investigate the combination of the pump-probe technique with cavity ring-down spectroscopy.
The relation between gender, silence, place and space is theorised in this article through an analysis of the former rape camp Vilina Vlas in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Combining a spatial perspective with narrative analysis, we dissect spatial practices and narrative silences that shape and reshape a particular place defined by gendered violence. We suggest that ‘places of pain’ and ‘spaces of silen
Background: Dynamic PET imaging studies provide accurate estimates of specific binding, but also measure the relative tracer delivery (R1), which is a proxy for relative cerebral blood flow (rCBF). Recently, studies suggested that R1 obtained from different tracers could be used interchangeably and is irrespective of target tissue. However, the similarities or differences of R1 obtained from diffe
In this work, we for the first time show that the geometrical magnetoresistance (gMR) effect is a powerful tool for extracting the carrier mobility in diffusive InGaAs near-surface quantum well MOSFETs. The technique shows excellent agreement to Hall effect measurements, confirming its validity. In addition, the gMR approach is less time-consuming, is suitable for measurements directly on the FETs
