Democracies face a crisis of public reason grounded in a disintegration of shared epistemic ground and amplified by digital polarisation and AI-mediated disinformation. Current pedagogy, focused on deconstructive critique or fact-checking skills, fails to address how algorithmic systems engineer plausibility at scale. Higher education must cultivate discerning judgement alongside critique. Drawing

This chapter explores the emerging cinemas of Greenland and the Faroe Islands, two ultrasmall national film industries navigating the complexities of cultural identity, transnational collaboration, and economic constraints. While Greenlandic cinema has evolved through two distinct waves, first marked by national television productions and later by internationally recognized feature films, the Faro

This thesis consists of three essays in dynamic panel data econometrics. It studies the estimation of persistent dynamic relationships in panel models with unobserved heterogeneity and predetermined regressors, combining methodological contributions with an application in growth empirics.The first paper analyzes structural breaks in persistence in a dynamic panel first-order autoregressive model w

This thesis aims to advance our understanding of how directors’ values influence board decision-making and firm behavior by developing and testing a model that integrates insights from behavioral perspectives on boards of directors and corporate governance. Ideally, boards engage in intensive and open discussions that utilize the full cognitive capacity of their members. However, in practice, they

This special issue aims to deepen the understanding of the Europeanisation of universities from 1980 to the mid-1990s. By focussing on five universities situated in different European contexts, we aim to provide insight into how Europeanisation has taken place and changed higher education. The geographical diversity and the main differences between universities provide the opportunity to show both

The Amazon is rapidly approaching an ecological tipping point driven by deforestation, forest degradation and global climate change. These are visible issues that receive increasing political and public attention.However, the accelerating biocultural loss in the Amazon, including the extinction of Indigenous languages, the disruption of Indigenous and local knowledge systems, and the disintegratio

Bird embryos develop inside eggs, which contain maternal substances that can shape offspring phenotype and fitness. Yolk fatty acids are a key energy source for the developing embryo, with omega-6 (ω-6) and omega-3 (ω-3) polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) obtained exclusively from the diet. Therefore, food availability during the breeding season is expected to influence yolk fatty acid compositio

Background and ObjectivesThe number of older adults living alone is increasing globally, often with varied risks and resilience capacities. Digital technologies may help mitigate these risks, but their potential remains poorly understood. This review maps evidence on digital technologies in social and health care interventions for older adults living alone, focusing on technology types, functions,

Antipsychotic drugs (APD) are commonly prescribed to people living with dementia (PwD) to manage behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD), despite well-documented safety concerns. International guidelines recommend non-pharmacological interventions as first-line treatment, yet APDs remain widely used. This systematic review and meta-analysis synthesize current evidence on the conse

Explicit solutions to optimal control problems are rarely obtainable. Of particular interest are the explicit solutions derived for minimax problems, providing a frame work to address adversarial conditions and uncertainty. This work considers a multi-disturbance minimax Linear Regulator (LR) framework for positive linear time-invariant systems in continuous time, which, analogous to the Linear-Qu

Pædagoger har en forpligtelse til at behandle børn i asylsystemet på lige vilkår med danske børn. Men på grund af deres forældre uklare retsstatus skal disse børn håndtere udfordringer, der risikerer at positionere dem i en slags voksenrolle. Samtidig er der særlige forhold knyttet til midlertidigheden i deres livssituation, der gør balancen mellem tilknytning og adskillelse særlig dilemmafyldt. S

I dette kapitel undersøges, hvilke rolle sprog og forestillinger om sproglig indlæring har for flygtningebørns deltagelse i daginstitutioner. Der ses på hvordan pædagoger griber sproglige udfordringer an i hverdagssituationer, og på hvordan kropssprog og inddragelse af andre sprog end dansk kan understøtte flygtningebørns inklusion i forskellige situationer. Dertil rettes opmærksomheden mod den po

I dette kapitel belyses nogle af de dilemmaer, som forældresamarbejde med nytilkomne familier kan indebære. Der fokuseres på den hårfine balance mellem tillid og mistillid i relationen og mødet mellem familierne og pædagoger, der på den ene side udøver en myndighedsrolle og på den anden side intervenerer i forhold, der tilhører familiens private sfære. Arbejdet med at opbygge relationer kræver båd

Temperature control is crucial when handling biological particles. In acoustofluidics, temperature regulation is also critical since its fluctuations induce resonance shifts that deteriorates the acoustophoretic performance. In this work, we present a novel simple design that thermally decouples a microfluidic chip from the piezoelectric actuator through a thin copper sheet, allowing precise tempe

Parasites play a fundamental role in explaining variation in population dynamics in wild ecosystems while also acting as a better model-system to study similar or related human infections. Since the late 1800s, malaria parasites have played a crucial role in vector-borne disease research. Many intrinsic and environmental factors can affect the level of infection transmission and prevalence among a
