The study examines how non-governmental organizations (NGOs) in Khartoum, Sudan work to address gender-based violence (GBV) and how they relate to international human rights law (IHRL) in the process. Emphasis is placed on how the over-politicization of GBV is hindering NGOs from effectively using IHRL as a tool. The results are based on qualitative field research, with in-depth interviews conduct

For quite some time, cognitive science has offered philosophy an opportunity to address central problems with an arsenal of relevant theories and empirical data. However, even among those naturalistically inclined, it has been hard to find a universally accepted way to do so. In this article, we offer a case study of how cognitive-science input can elucidate an epistemological issue that has cause

Astrocytes have important functions in the brain and their deregulation may cause disease. Current ways to derive astrocytes from pluripotent stem cells are labor, time, and resource intensive, but in this issue of Stem Cell Reports, Li et al. present a faster method to produce functional astrocytes using transcription factors.

This thesis compares the wildfire evacuation simulation programme, WUI-NITY, against real-world data by analysing and comparing three wildfire events of the past. The wildfire events were all limited to be within the state of California and was further analysed based on the available quality of data derived of the chosen database. The goal with this thesis was to setup simulations based on the evi

Capacity-building in international cooperation projects is typically founded on a conceptualisation of transmission or transfer, and thus also typically contributes to the international diffusion of certain models, systems or technologies. In European policy, this approach has been part of the strategy to strengthen the position of European HE by making HE structures in other parts of the world co

Tackling health inequalities is a top priority for public health services in England. Third sector organisations, or non-governmental organisations (NGOs), are seen as having a key role in providing these services, particularly to the socially excluded, often dubbed ‘hard to reach’, for whom services must be provided if health inequalities are to be reduced. The plethora of evaluation frameworks a

This opinion piece takes Google's response to the so-called COVID-19 infodemic, as a starting point to argue for the need to consider societal relevance as a complement to other types of relevance. The authors maintain that if information science wants to be a discipline at the forefront of research on relevance, search engines, and their use, then the information science research community needs

Globally we are facing a complex web of grand challenges that are impacting the lived environment, our development pathways, and wider quality of life. Urban environments serve as a key context around which these grand challenges are not only experienced while also providing multiple opportunities to reduce environmental impacts and resource consumption; improve health outcomes; eradicate poverty;

The clinical diagnosis of new-onset type 1 diabetes has, for many years, been considered relatively straightforward. Recently, however, there is increasing awareness that within this single clinical phenotype exists considerable heterogeneity: disease onset spans the complete age range; genetic susceptibility is complex; rates of progression differ markedly, as does insulin secretory capacity; and
