Theoretical approaches to learning in practice-based jazz improvisation contexts include situated learning and ecological perspectives. This article focuses on how interest-driven, self-sustaining jazz learning activities can be matched against the concepts of stolen knowledge (Brown & Duguid, 1996) and landscape of learning (Bjerstedt, 2014).

The rapid pace of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2; COVID-19) pandemic presents challenges to the real-time collection of population-scale data to inform near-term public health needs as well as future investigations. We established the COronavirus Pandemic Epidemiology (COPE) consortium to address this unprecedented crisis on behalf of the epidemiology research comm

Popular Abstract in Swedish Utvärdering av stråldos och bildkvalitet i mammografi Bröstcancer är den cancerform som är vanligast hos kvinnor. Genom tidig upptäckt med bröströntgen, mammografi, kan man behandla sjukdomen i ett tidigare stadium och därmed minska dödligheten. Det är också möjligt att behandla på ett skonsammare sätt vid tidig upptäckt. Därför har man startat hälsokontroller, screeniMammography refers to the X-ray examination of the human breast, and is considered the single most important diagnostic tool in the early detection of breast cancer, which is by far the most common cancer among women. There is good evidence from clinical trials, that mammographic screening can reduce the breast cancer mortality with about 30%. The side effects include a small and age related risk

The problem of planning a trajectory for robots starting in an initial state and reaching a final state in a desired interval of time is tackled. We consider Model Predictive Control as an approach to the problem of point-to-point trajectory generation. We use the developed strategy to generate trajectories for transferring the state of the robot, fulfilling computational real-time requirements. E

Popular Abstract in Swedish Patienter med diabetes kan inte kontrollera blodsockernivåerna på grund av att de saknar insulinproducerande celler eller har icke fungerande insulinproducerande celler. Det finns olika typer av diabetes där typ 1 diabetes och typ 2 diabetes är de vanligaste formerna. Den mest framgångsrika behandling mot typ 1 diabetes är transplantation av insulinproducerande celler, Diabetes - the imbalance in glucose homeostasis is partially caused by loss or dysfunction of pancreatic insulin producing β cells or development of insulin resistance. In Type 1 diabetes β cells are destroyed in the process of an autoimmune attack, whereas in Type 2 diabetes, islets produce insufficient amounts of insulin or the insulin cannot be used adequately. So far, the most promising therap

Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka hur kvinnliga poliser, som har ett intresse av piketenhetens arbete, upplever sina egna möjligheter att söka sig till enheten. Vi har intervjuat nio kvinnliga poliser som har deltagit i en prova på-utbildning anordnad av en av landets tre piketenheter. Syftet med utbildningen var bl.a. att försöka rekrytera fler kvinnor till enheten, eftersom den idag utg

The objective of this study was to describe environmental barriers and investigate the nature of accessibility problems in housing among single-living, very old people (N = 1,150) in urban regions in three European countries (Sweden, Germany, Latvia), in a one-year perspective. A specific feature of this study is the explicit conceptual differentiation between environmental barriers and accessibil

BACKGROUND: Pain is a common complaint presented in healthcare, but most epidemiological pain research has focused either on single pain conditions or on the adult population. The aim of this study was to investigate the 2017 consultation prevalence of a wide range of pain conditions in the general population of young people.METHODS: We used the Skåne Healthcare Register, covering prospectively co

Cartographic mashup is a powerful tool for users to visualize thematic data together with base maps, and it is increasingly popular due to the better availability of geodata. In current typical mashups, thematic data and base mapscome from different providers without any connection between the data sets, and their scales are not synchronized. In this paper, we firstly explore the problems in such

In order to improve the resilience of the MAX IV 3 GeVring’s beam to a horizontal dipole kick while at the designtunes (42.20, 16.28) the optimisation algorithm RCDS (Robust Conjugate Direction Search) was deployed. The algorithm was able to increase the horizontal acceptance byfinding new settings for the sextupole and octupole magnets,whilst leaving the vertical acceptance virtually unchanged.Ad

Occupational safety and health (OSH) is a vital part of the right to health. While the International Labor Organization (ILO) historically treated OSH as an entirely technical matter, it has increasingly been influenced by a human rights agenda. The ILO has responded by adopting and promoting a large number of international standards-in the form of conventions, recommendations, and codes of practi

IntroductionPost-operative infections obtained from open-wound surgeries constitute an unnecessary load on both healthcare and affected patients. It is well established that increased air cleanliness reduces the number of post-operative infections. Therefore, the ventilation system is important in order to reduce the number of infectious particles in the air during surgery. Ventilation with high a

BACKGROUND: Long-term oxygen therapy (LTOT) improves survival in patients with chronic severe resting hypoxaemia, but effects on hospitalisation are unknown. This study evaluated the potential impact of starting LTOT on acute exacerbation and hospital burden in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), interstitial lung disease (ILD) and pulmonary hypertension (PH).METHODS: Longi

For model verification which is mainly focused on the control of discretization errors of numerical results, a posteriori error estimation plays an important role in various numerical tools such as the finite element method. The outputs of interest are usually converted into integral functionals over the problem domain for a posteriori error analysis. Among the available techniques for goal-orient

How can cities and communities around the world become more sustainable? What can we do as researchers to help them? As we move through the twenty-first century, these questions assume ever-greater importance. Many of the quickest wins for human and planetary health involve reimagining and reconfiguring cities. Activities that generate negative impacts like air pollution and poor health are concen

Place branding is defined as “the development of brands for geographic locationswith the aim of triggering positive associations about the area and distinguishinga place from other places” (Stevens et al., 2020, p. 752). Like all occupations,place branding is organised by discourses, or talk, that determine best practices andnorms about what constitutes expertise (Loacker and Sullivan, 2016). Expl
