Structured reflective writing during clinical placement has been shown to be valuable for students’ learning and for their personal and professional development. The aim of this study was to examine clinical supervisors’ experiences of midwifery students’ daily written reflections on their practice at birthing units. A qualitative study was performed, and data were analysed using content analysis.

Forestry is raising concern about the outbreaks of European spruce bark beetle, Ips typographus, causing extensive damage to the spruce forest and timber values. Precise monitoring of these beetles is a necessary step towards preventing outbreaks. Current commercial monitoring methods are catch‐based and lack in both temporal and spatial resolution. In this work, light scattering from beetles is c

Adipose tissue plays a major role in regulating whole-body energy metabolism. While the biochemical processes regulating storage and release of excess energy are well known, the temporal organization of these events is much less defined. In this study, we have characterized the presence of small surface-associated lipid droplets, distinct from the central droplet, in primary human adipocytes. Base

Previous research indicates that exporting firms are willing to pay a premium to poach workers from other exporting firms if experience working for an internationally engaged firm reduces trade costs. Since international experience is less valuable to non-exporters, we would expect to see differences in recruitments between firms that are internationally engaged and those that serve only their dom

Lichens of the genus Cladonia, mainly C. alpestris, collected during 1882-1972 were analyzed for stable lead and 210Pb. The specific activity of 210Pb (210Pb/Pb ratio) indicates a constant value of about 2 mCi/kg up to 1940, and then decreased to 0.6 mCi/kg during 1950-1960. As the average annual 210Pb deposition is relatively constant, the decrease in the 210Pb/Pb ratio after 1940 indicates an in

The COVID-19 pandemic, the surge of populism, the climate crisis and many other destabilizing factors in our time, all point at the expectation of trustworthy knowledge and reliable organization devoted to knowledge production and dissemination. However, universities remain enmeshed in economic liberalization and ensuing cultural struggles where their funding, governance and practices reflect mark

This chapter provides conceptual and empirical foundations for smart specialization, a policy approach of far-reaching importance in the European context. We interpret the very notion as “diversified” specialization into areas of existing or potential competitive advantage, which differentiates a region/nation from others. “Smart” relates to the identification of these areas through a process of e

TRP channels sense temperatures ranging from noxious cold to noxious heat. Whether specialized TRP thermosensor modules exist and how they control channel pore gating is unknown. We studied purified human TRPA1 (hTRPA1) truncated proteins to gain insight into the temperature gating of hTRPA1. In patch-clamp bilayer recordings, ∆1-688 hTRPA1, without the N-terminal ankyrin repeat domain (N-ARD), wa

About a third of all meteorites that fall on Earth today, the stony L-chondrites, originate from a major breakup event in the asteroid belt 466 Ma, in the early Darriwilian. This is the largest asteroid breakup in the past three billion years documented by K-Ar gas-retention ages of recently fallen meteorites. There has been a debate whether the breakup had any effects on Earth’s biota. Based main

Evaluating the subground properties during the initial stage of a construction of building is important in order to estimate the suitability of soil quality to the technical requirements of bearing capacity, resistance to stress, and strength. This study presented the evaluation of the geotechnical properties of soil intended for the construction of Max IV facility of Lund University, performed in

Research shows that young people within ethnic minorities are subjected to police control more often than others, which seems to have a damaging effect on their trust in the police as well as on their wider sense of belonging. What is less often researched is how these young people deal with being over-policed. This article explores narratives of over-policing from those targeted by the police in Research shows that young people within ethnic minorities are subjected to police control more often than others, which seems to have a damaging effect on their trust in the police as well as on their wider sense of belonging.

Acute cellular rejection (ACR) is a leading cause of graft loss and death after heart transplantation despite effective immunosuppressive therapies. The identification of factors that impair graft vascular barrier function or promote immune cell recruitment during ACR could provide new therapeutic opportunities for the treatment of patients who receive transplants. In 2 ACR cohorts, we found the e

Preclinical and genetic studies suggest that impaired glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide receptor (GIPR) signaling worsens glycemic control. The relationship between GIPR signaling and the risk of cancers influenced by impaired glucose homeostasis is unclear. We examined the association of a variant in GIPR, rs1800437 (E354Q), shown to impair long-term GIPR signaling and lower circulatin

Humans, like other animals, have a tendency to preferentially learn and retain some associations more readily than others. In humans, preferential learning was originally demonstrated for certain evolutionary prepared stimuli, such as snakes and angry faces and later extended to human social out-groups based on race (Olsson et al., 2005). To address the generality of this social learning bias, we
