This chapter critically examines a number of ethical dilemmas at stake for professionals working with refugee children and families in Denmark within the field of early childhood education. While national guidelines promote diversity by framing cultural differences as valuable resources, integration policies often result in efforts aimed at assimilation. The chapter explores how everyday ethical j
We understand research for societal engagement as research that is societally relevant in the sense that it fosters engagement and collaboration among different social actors. If you are interested in research collaboration with multiple stakeholders from inside and outside the university, this guide will provide you with guidelines to initiate, consolidate, and finalize collaborations, while addr
In persons born with myelomeningocele (MMC) secondaryprevention measures are important to survive and to retainfunction. Swedish guidelines in MMC have been developedand a follow-up programme is linked to a quality of care reg-istry, internet-based since 2012. The rationale for creation ofthis registry were to avoid complications in MMC by provid-ing a medical and health overview, facilitate the c
Substance P (SP) and calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) have both been considered potential drug candidates in migraine therapy. In recent years, CGRP receptor inhibition has been established as an effective treatment, in particular as a prophylactic for chronic migraine. Curiously, inhibition of neurokinin receptor 1 (NK1R) failed to alleviate acute migraine attacks in clinical trials, and th
Agriculture faces a major challenge in meeting the world’s growing demand for food in a sustainable manner in the face of increasing environmental pressures, in particular the growing impact of climate change. Agriculture is also a major contributor to climate change. Digital technologies in agriculture can contribute to climate change adaptation and mitigation. This paper examines the interaction
Iran has yet to be the subject of research looking into the gaps in the nationality law, which, could create and perpetuate statelessness. There were however, several pre-identified populations, some members of which are believed to be affected by statelessness, as well as gender discrimination in the nationality law - which causes and increases the risk of rendering children stateless. Therefore,
Cataract surgery is the most commonly performed surgery worldwide. However, there is significant variation in practice both within and among countries. The European Registry of Quality Outcomes for Cataract and Refractive Surgery was established in 2007 to address this variation and improve the quality of care. Based on registry data from more than 500,000 surgeries, the registry developed the fir
Two synchrotron-based studies on 4H-pyran-4-thione, photoelectron spectroscopy and vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) absorption spectra were performed. A highly resolved structure was observed in the photoelectron spectrum (PES), in contrast to an earlier PES study, where little structure was observed. The sequence of ionic states was determined using configuration interaction and coupled cluster methods.
The first years of life are a critical period of development, and circumstances during this period can affect individuals throughout life. But to what extent do disadvantaged circumstances in childhood affect individual wellbeing in later life and for whom? Can interventions in childhood break adversity over the life course? For whom are interventions most effective and why? This thesis aims to in
Making money at the expense of planet Earth is an unfortunate practice that has strengthened over the years with dire consequences for the environment and human rights.Although several initiatives have been taken at different levels to counter this phenomenon, environmentally unfriendly activities continue to be among the most serious crimes and human rights violations, while the need to prevent t
A search for flavor-changing neutral-current couplings between a top quark, an up or charm quark, and a Formula Presented boson is presented, using proton-proton collision data at Formula Presented collected by the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider. The analyzed data set corresponds to an integrated luminosity of Formula Presented. The search targets both single-top-quark events produced
Many species up- or downregulate their resting metabolic rate (RMR) when they encounter favourable or unfavourable feeding conditions, respectively. This is thought to promote faster growth when food is abundant and conserve energy reserves when food is scarce. The time it takes to express metabolic plasticity remain little studied. Here, we develop a conceptual model showing how rapid or slow met
In September 2019, the third Global Climate Strike organized by the Fridays For Future (FFF) protest campaign mobilized 6000 protest events in 185 countries and brought 7.6 million participants out onto the streets. This report analyses survey data about participants from 19 cities around the world and compares it to data from an international survey conducted in 13 European cities in March 2019.
Klimatförändringen kan enbart dämpas om koldioxidutsläppen reduceras till (netto) noll – till exempel genom att fossila bränslen fasas ut, cement ersätts med mer hållbara material och den globala avskogningen hejdas, tillsammans med minskade metan- och andra klimatutsläpp. Ökat utnyttjande av biomassa från jord- och skogsbruk som bioenergi och byggmaterial kan ge viktiga bidrag till detta. Men ris
