Sustainability science emerged as a new academic field to address complex sustainability challenges. To train sustainability experts, sustainability science programs and sustainability-focused courses are offered in higher education, especially at the graduate level. Given the diverse topics and the complex structures of sustainability challenges, what are the required knowledge and skills needed
Confinement and edge structures are known to play significant roles in the electronic and transport properties of two-dimensional materials. Here, we report on low-temperature magnetotransport measurements of lithographically patterned graphene cavity nanodevices. It is found that the evolution of the low-field magnetoconductance characteristics with varying carrier density exhibits different beha
Human activities and climate change affect hydrological and sedimentological characteristics within catchments. For arid and semiarid areas this induces direct negative economic and environmental consequences on society. In fact, stability in the rainfall regime and less siltation trapped in reservoirs mean more water for irrigation, water supply, and better flood control. This is especially impor
The even-even nucleus 142Xe lies north-east of the doubly magic 132Sn on the neutron-rich side of the nuclear chart. In order to gain further information on the octupole collectivity and the evolution of quadrupole collectivity in this region, a "safe" Coulomb excitation experiment was carried out at the new HIE-ISOLDE facility (CERN) at the end of 2016. As the gamma-ray detector the Miniball spec
From an evolutionary point of view a pathogen might benefit from regulating the inflammatory response, both in order to facilitate establishment of colonization and to avoid life-threatening host manifestations, such as septic shock. In agreement with this notion Streptococcus pyogenes exploits type I IFN-signaling to limit detrimental inflammation in infected mice, but the host-pathogen interacti
Current evidence on congenital malformations in the offspring of cancer survivors is largely inconsistent. Therefore, through this study we aimed to explore the prevalence of congenital malformations in the offspring of cancer survivors. To this end, female cancer survivors were identified from the Swedish Cancer Register and were further linked to the Swedish Medical Birth Register and Hospital D
A search for long-lived, massive particles predicted by many theories beyond the Standard Model is presented. The search targets final states with large missing transverse momentum and at least one high-mass displaced vertex with five or more tracks, and uses 32.8 fb-1 of s=13 TeV pp collision data collected by the ATLAS detector at the LHC. The observed yield is consistent with the expected backg
A detailed fire investigation of most fires occurring in the greater London area has been underway since 1994. The present study concerns 307 fires in non-residential buildings there between 1994 and 1997. The cause of the fire, the means of discovery, the times to detection, to arrival of the fire brigade and to extinguishing the fire, the size of fire and the process of extinguishing it are inve
Margarine represents the pinnacle of culinary modernity, but it also has deep-seated working-class undertones connected to its origin as a butter substitute to feed the masses. This paper employs close readings as a tool to explore references to margarine in literary texts, and to situate them within a broader cultural context. In the first section of the analysis margarine references are surveyed
This is the first multi-district Standardised Patient (SP) study in South Africa. It measures the quality of TB screening at primary healthcare (PHC) facilities. We hypothesise that TB screening protocols and best practices are poorly adhered to at the PHC level. The SP method allows researchers to observe how healthcare providers identify, test and advise presumptive TB patients, and whether thisThis is the first multi-district Standardised Patient (SP) study in South Africa.

Orglet er et af de musikinstrumenter, som stadig anvendes i dag, der er at finde længst tilbage i den vesteuropæiske musiktradition. Allerede i det 3. århundrede f.Kr. findes versioner af instrumentet hos grækerne, som med tiden blev så populære, at de blev et fast element under de romerske gladiatorkampe. I middelalderen flyttede orglet ind i kristne kirkerum, først som flytbare orgler og siden 1
Förord till Otto Carius självbiografi om de strider som han deltog i på östfronten under andra världskriget samt likheter och skillnader mellan hans och andra tyska veteraners krigsskildringar.
Beyond the esoteric deliberations of Islamic jurists and their exegesis of criminal and private law doctrines, Iranian law lives a life of its own. It is a life of routine practices of judges, court clerks, lawyers and clients, each of whom is striving to turn the law to their own advantage. It is also a life of contested legality, a relentless struggle over the right to determine the law in a jurBeyond the esoteric deliberations of Islamic jurists and their exegesis of criminal and private law doctrines, Iranian law lives a life of its own.
