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

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

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

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

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

This paper introduces a three-dimensional approach for analysing brokerage in social networks that has the potential to open new areas of research in Science and Technology Studies (STS). Brokerage is a fundamental concept in social network analysis, where it refers to situations in which actors bridge otherwise disconnected actors. Such brokerage can have both individual consequences and conseque

The purpose of current study is to produce groundwater qanat potential map using frequency ratio (FR) and Shannon's entropy (SE) models in the Moghan watershed, Khorasan Razavi Province, Iran. The qanat is basically a horizontal, interconnected series of underground tunnels that accumulate and deliver groundwater from a mountainous source district, along a water- bearing formation (aquifer), and t

Eye movements do more than gather visual input – they actively contribute to the formation and retrieval of relational memories by linking information across space and time. During retrieval, gaze patterns often reflect memory reactivation well before an explicit response is made, a phenomenon known as the relational eye-movement effect. While this effect appears closely associated with hippocampa

Recent years have seen an uptake in cycling and, with it, an increase in cyclists being involved in crashes. One particularly problematic area is that of urban signalised intersections, which are responsible for a majority of the crashes involving cyclists. One reason is the increased complexity at such locations. The bike box has been hailed as an infrastructure measure to help increase the safet

Transitioning towards a circular economy, where the existing building stock is more efficiently used, would significantly reduce material and energy use, emissions, and waste from the built environment sector. This study focuses on exploring what conditions are needed for circularity by imagining preferable circular futures for a 2035 timeframe and understanding the required actions to achieve the
