Trust is an important aspect of learning. However, there is little published research on how students perceive its value. In this article, we report on engineering students’ perceptions of the role of trust in their learning and their experiences of what teachers do in their courses that builds trust. Nine students participated in semi-structured interviews and 477 student replies to a survey sent
Background: Cerebrovascular accident (CVA) is an outdated termfor describing stroke as it implies stroke is an accident.We conducted an integrative review to examine the use of CVA in terms of (1) frequency in major medical journals over time; (2) associated publication characteristics (e.g., number of authors, senior author country, topic); and (3) frequency in medical records.

Studies addressing patients’ experiences of person-centered care (PCC) in the context of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) are scarce; hence, this study aimed to explore patients’ experiences of PCC, and its associations with individual characteristics and health-related quality of life, in the context of allogeneic stem cell transplantation. It is a cross-sectional su
This paper presents a general level set framework for modelling diffusive solid-state phase transformation processes in binary systems comprising several grains and phases. Notably, it is demonstrated how the Voronoi implicit interface method (VIIM) can be used to simulate microstructure evolution in polycrystals driven by diffusion. The key advantage of VIIM is that a single level set function ca

Some were torn down, others covered up, and others were re-examined in light of not only colonial and racial oppression,
SignificanceThe spatial distribution of the photosensitizing drug concentration is an important parameter for predicting the photodynamic therapy (PDT) outcome. Current diffuse fluorescence tomography methods lack accuracy in quantifying drug concentration. The development of accurate methods for monitoring the temporal evolution of the drug distribution in tissue can advance the real-time light d
