Genetic structure of the grey side-gilled sea slug (Pleurobranchaea maculata) in coastal waters of New Zealand

Pleurobranchaea maculata is a rarely studied species of the Heterobranchia found throughout the south and western Pacific–and recently recorded in Argentina–whose population genetic structure is unknown. Interest in the species was sparked in New Zealand following a series of dog deaths caused by ingestions of slugs containing high levels of the neurotoxin tetrodotoxin. Here we describe the geneti

Walk after stroke: initial development of a step counting game for stroke survivors

This paper presents work done within the EU project STARR. Within the framework of the project technologies to empower and support stroke survivors are developed. We report on the iterative development of an outdoor activity game for stroke survivors, and discuss design choices, experiences from the initial testing and outline potential future developments.This paper presents work done within the EU project STARR.

The Phenomenology of Eye Movement Intentions and their Disruption in Goal-Directed Actions

The role of intentions in motor planning is heavily weighted in classical psychological theories, but their role in generating eye movements, and our awareness of these oculomotor intentions, has not been investigated explicitly. In this study, the extent to which we monitor oculomotor intentions, i.e. the intentions to shift one’s gaze towards a specific location, and whether they can be expresse

Digital technologies for education in China: National ambitions meet local realities

China has been a pioneer in including information and communication technologies for educational purposes (ICT4E) in national educational policies. Having recognized the role technology can play in education in the late 1990s, the country has by now emerged as an international leader in propagating the benefits of ICT4E. At the levels of the school and individual learner, however, ICT4E still play

Experimental calibration of manganese incorporation in foraminiferal calcite

In the context of recent climate change and increased anthropogenic activities in coastal areas, which both may have a negative impact on dissolved oxygen concentration, there is an increased interest to better understand the mechanisms and evolution leading to hypoxia in marine environments. The development of well calibrated proxies is crucial to obtain reliable environmental reconstructions of

Seasonal study of δ18O and δ13C in living (stained) benthic foraminifera from two Swedish fjords

In a previous 16-month seasonal study on living (stained) benthic foraminifera from two fjords on the Swedish west coast, it was reported that foraminifera proliferated in response to phytodetritus input; the strongest response came from the opportunistic species Stainforthia fusiformis. In this study, our objective was to find out if that phytodetritus input resulted in a change in the carbon iso

Gips : Tradition i konstens form: en konstbok från Nationalmuseum

Författarna ger olika infallsvinklar på de gipsavgjutningssamlingar, ofta efter antika skulpturer, som byggdes upp i de nya publika konstmuseerna i Europa under 1800-talet. Dessa hade nära samband med konstakademiernas gipsavgjutningar och kom också att bidra till att universiteten byggde upp egna samlingar.

Oceanographic conditions in the deepest parts of the Kattegat, Scandinavia, revealed through recent benthic foraminifera and hydrography

The Kattegat has, since the 1980s, been subject to extensive investigations focusing on various aspects of the marine environment. The most important reasons for this concentration of work are marine eutrophication, periodically occurring oxygen deficiency in the bottom-water and subsequent benthic mortality. In this study a previously not discussed sill area separating two deep areas in the Katte

What is the ‘problem’ that digital competence in Swedish teacher education is meant to solve?

This paper explores how policy makers argue for the importance of digital competence in Swedish teacher education. A policy analysis of key policy documents from the government and from government-affiliated organisations from the time period 2011–2016 is conducted using Carol Bacchi’s ‘what’s the problem represented to be?’ approach. The paper critically examines underlying assumptions and partic

Quality of life in patients with recurrent ovarian cancer treated with niraparib versus placebo (ENGOT-OV16/NOVA) : results from a double-blind, phase 3, randomised controlled trial

Background: Quality of life (QOL) has become an important complementary endpoint in cancer clinical studies alongside more traditional assessments (eg, tumour response, progression-free survival, overall survival). Niraparib maintenance treatment has been shown to significantly improve progression-free survival in patients with recurrent ovarian cancer. We aimed to assess whether the benefits of e

Från ädel antik till gammalt gods

Artikeln behandlar gipsavgjutningens betydelse i de europeiska konstmuseerna, konstakademierna och universiteten under 1800-talet och hur synen på dem förändras radikalt under 1900-talet som en följd av ett normativt skifte från idealism till autenticitetskrav.

Protocol for a scoping review to support development of a CONSORT extension for randomised controlled trials using cohorts and routinely collected health data

Introduction Randomised controlled trials (RCTs) conducted using cohorts and routinely collected health data, including registries, electronic health records and administrative databases, are increasingly used in healthcare intervention research. The development of an extension of the CONsolidated Standards of Reporting Trials (CONSORT) statement for RCTs using cohorts and routinely collected heal
