[Company] …

This paper extends the use of a framework identifying four types of barriers to lifelong learning (LLL): institutional, situational, dispositional, and informational. Initially applied to Nordic universities, the framework is now used to interview global stakeholders about LLL provisioning. The study …

The effectiveness of aerobic exercise in the treatment of major depressive disorders: a physiotherapeutic point of view

Background : Optimizing transitional care by practicing family-centered care might reduce unplanned events for patients who undergo major abdominal cancer surgery. However, it remains unknown whether involving family caregivers in patients’ healthcare also has negative consequences for patient safety. …

Purpose: This study aims to systematically identify items that measure comnicative participation from measurement instruments that measure (aspects communication and/or participation in children and adolescents (5–18 years with communication disorders, for developing an item bank. Method: A systematic …

Introduction : The transition from hospital to home is often suboptimal, resulting in patients not receiving the necessary allied healthcare after discharge. This may, in turn, lead to delayed recovery, a higher number of readmissions, more emergency department visits and an increase in mortality and …

The catalytic conversion of oleic acid to aromatics (benzene, toluene, and xylenes, BTX) over a granular H-ZSM-5/Al2O3 catalyst (ϕ 1.2–1.8 mm, 10 g loading) was investigated in a continuous bench-scale fixed-bed reactor (10 g oleic acid h–1). A peak carbon yield of aromatics of 27.4% was obtained at …

In this research, acrylate crosslinked PEG-b-PS polymersomes were synthesized and extensively tested. Polymersomes are nanovesicles that are self-assembled from amphiphilic block copolymers. Like liposomes, they can contain aqueous solutions in the core, which makes them interesting in the field of nanomedicine. …

Both consumer and industrial electronics have become increasingly complex and advanced in recent years. High performance semiconductor devices are essential to the function of these electronics, which is why rapid growth of the microelectronics industry and major technological advancements in this field …
