Student engagement is an important factor when it comes to the learning process. Students who do not feel engaged in their studies risk surface learning, are more likely to fail their exams and might even drop out of their education. The teaching community has tried different methods in order to increase student engagement. One of them is the Contributing Student Pedagogy (CSP), where students con
The reflective processes in which supervisors and doctoral students indulge together may be improvisatory to an important extent. Based on a literature review and a small interview study, I argue that there are important similarities between musical improvisation and supervision dialogue regarding, for instance, the need for structure as well as continuous impulse fluidity, and the need for recept
"On the Dragon or Lindworm" was first published by Swedish ethnologist Gunnar Olof Hyltén-Cavallius in 1884, and in a second edition in 1885. This third edition includes the whole original text, with 48 accounts by people who claim having seen and in some cases even killed huge snakes called dragons or lindworms. Thomas Malm (herpetologist and human ecologist) has added an introduction, notes, ill
Here we describe the parametric response map (PRM), a voxel-wise approach for image analysis and quantification of hemodynamic alterations during treatment for 44 patients with high-grade glioma. Relative cerebral blood volume (rCBV) and flow (rCBF) maps were acquired before treatment and after 1 and 3 weeks of therapy. We compared the standard approach using region-of-interest analysis for change
The UK Government’s proposal that the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the EU (the Charter) will not be converted into UK law following Brexit (clause 5(4) of the EU Withdrawal Bill) has generated strong reaction from opposition parties. The Labour party has indicated that it considers this to be a ‘red-line’ issue, and that it will not support a bill that does not incorporate the charter into UK
In a previous entry, Prof. Capaldo criticised the judgment of the Court of Justice of the EU in Taricco II by arguing that there exists, in international law (or what the author calls ‘global law’), a fundamental human right to policies that criminalise tax fraud. According to the author, the Court presented in its judgment a false dichotomy between the need to ensure the effective application of
A new multiband, small size antenna for passive radio frequency identification (RFID) tags is presented. Placement of three U-shaped slots can create three independent resonances within the RFID range: 0.953, 2.45, and 5.8 GHz, whereas in each resonance, particular inductive input impedance will be achieved by a simple technique to be conjugately matched with the capacitive impedance of the chosen
In this paper, a fully distributed modeling of double gate InGaAs pHEMT as a 5-line active coupled transmission line is described. In order to apply the transmission line theory, a proper equivalent lumped circuit model is allocated for the differential length of the double gate quintuple line transistor and the active multi-conductor transmission line equations are obtained. The passive element v
This article aims to contextualise the development of the Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants by the International Federation of Accountants (IFAC) between 1977 and 2006. Drawing on transnational regulation literature, an extensive review of archival documents was conducted. The analysis unfolds the development of the Code in an increasingly complex regulatory environment, revealing the dy
This study addresses the modelling of a dual band (28 and 38 GHz), circularly polarised slotted-patch-antenna for highly demanded millimetre wave multi-input multi-output (MIMO)-systems in fifth generation (5G) networks. A computer-aided-design model is derived by means of an artificial neural network (ANN) which allows obtaining the physical dimensions of a single-fed antenna, satisfying both nea
