The global COVID-19 pandemic fundamentally changed education as we know it. Globally, billions of learners at all levels were affected by months of rolling school closures and other severe pandemic restrictions to daily life. Magnifying issues of educational equity, access, and opportunity, this unprecedented global crisis forced Deans, and academic and professional staff in schools of education tThe global COVID-19 pandemic fundamentally changed education as we know it.

BACKGROUND: The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the importance of evidence-informed priority setting and situational analysis in pandemic preparedness and response. Health Technology Assessment (HTA) has been identified as an essential tool for evidence-informed decision-making in healthcare. However, the potential role of HTA in pandemic preparedness and response in Africa has yet to be explore

Age and aging are the major determinants of most common major diseases, including cardiovascular disease (CVD). With increasing age, the cardiovascular risk increases as well as frailty, with negative consequences for health such as coronary heart disease, stroke, peripheral arterial disease, and vascular dementia. However, this aging process seems to take a more rapid course in some individuals,

Moving into a nursing home is a significant transition for older people which can be emotional and stressful. The literature on the decision to move and subsequent residential stress focuses on the time after admission; however, there is less understanding of older people’s management of the process. To fully understand and possibly reduce negative consequences and health-related risks, the aim of

A search for resonances in events with at least one isolated lepton (e or μ) and two jets is performed using 139 fb −1 of s = 13 TeV proton–proton collision data recorded by the ATLAS detector at the LHC. Deviations from a smoothly falling background hypothesis are tested in three- and four-body invariant mass distributions constructed from leptons and jets, including jets identified as originatin

OBJECTIVE: To summarize the effectiveness of management strategies and rehabilitation approaches for knee joint structural and molecular biomarker outcomes following anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and/or meniscal tear. DESIGN: Intervention systematic review. LITERATURE SEARCH: We searched the MEDLINE, Embase, CINAHL, CENTRAL, and SPORTDiscus databases from their inception up to November 3, 2021.

The industrial exploitation of high value nanoparticles is in need of robust measurement methods to increase the control over product manufacturing and to implement quality assurance. InNanoPart, a European metrology project responded to these needs by developing methods for the measurement of particle size, concentration, agglomeration, surface chemistry and shell thickness. This paper illustrate

Obesity is a key contributor to heart failure, driving increased morbidity, mortality, and healthcare costs. This association is supported by multiple pathophysiological mechanisms and consistent epidemiological evidence, particularly not only in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), but also in heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). Given the rising prevalence of

ABSTRACT Title: Micro-Credit and Loans: Credit Riskmanagement Differences Seminar date: 2010-01-21 Course: NEKK01 - Bachelor Essay, 15 ECTS Author: Philip Thuresson Supervisor: Anders Vilhelmsson Ph.D. Keywords: Micro-credit, Risk, Yield Purpose: The purpose of this essay is to examine the differences in the risk analysis and credit process between micro-credit institutions and banks. Theoretical

Amartya Sen argues that the overarching goal of development is expanding people’s choices. Yet, freedom as a goal is ambiguous as the notion is clouded by idioms of freedom dating as far back as Ancient Greece. Thus, since Sen claims to have universalist presumptions, this thesis discusses and analyzes Sen’s notion of freedom from a classical philosophical perspective – mainly drawing from Leo Str

The thesis contributes to the debate of an emerging European strategic culture on the use of force. This is highly relevant in order to understand the future development of the military operations within the Common Security and Defence Policy (CSDP). In order to be able to analyse the motivations of the following operations: Concordia, EUFOR DR Congo and Atalanta, the research builds on the constr

Title: Returns on Assets and Returns on Stocks: Based on Swedish Market. Authors:Tatiana Studyanikova and Eirini Sarantopoulou. Advisor:Hossein Asgharian. Key Words: Returns on assets (ROA), returns on stocks (ROS), variation, principal component analysis, firm-specific level. Purpose: Examine whether common factors of returns on stocks and returns on assets explain most of the variation in return

In recent years the importance of lobby organizations in the American foreign policy making has increased. One organization that has gained significant influence is the Israel lobby. In this study I present the actors involved in the making of American foreign policy, the relationship America has with Israel and the strategies used by the Israel lobby to gain their influence. I use liberalism to d

To travel with public transport and at the same time have a pleasant and relaxed journey is not a guarantee. Stress, insecurity and confusion can strike everyone, with or without disabilities. A political goal says that Sweden should have an accessible society in 2010. Some tools that can be used to reach this goal are design and architecture, but there is not much time left. In my role as a desig
