Abstract The integration of Muslim immigrants into the European societal sphere has have recently received the utmost concern of Europeans. This is because Muslim status has changed from ?immigrant? to ?threat? or ?challenge? to peace and prosperity of Europe in the aftermath of 9/11 attacks. Muslim exclusion from social life is now a problem necessitating an urgent solution. At this point, this
The main purpose of the Thesis work is to conduct an assessment of both the way companies currently account for their waste costs, and of the potential relevancy of engaging in a more comprehensive cost accounting for waste in terms of achieving industrial waste minimisation and cost optimisation. In order to do so, literature about environmental and cost accounting was reviewed, an empirical stud
If as Hersch Lauterpact stated in the most overly quoted Humanitarian Lawyers phrase in Oppenheim's International Law, International Humanitarian Law lies at the vanishing point of International Law, then I would posit that it is only the continuance of education particularly education in LOAC that prevents it from vanishing altogether. The preservation of the buildings housing that education
This thesis aims to test and evaluate the use of image-based 3D modelling techniques on rune stones. To test the method a well-documented rune stone was chosen, Hyby stone 1. The stone has been dated to the Viking Age and contains 37 runes, whereof 29 are still visible, two crosses and a stag. These carvings have been detected by other scholars with the use of non-digital methods. In order to eval
Problem definition: Supply chain segmentation is a topic which in later years has received increasing attention from supply chain managers of companies in industrial settings. To members of the supply chain research community the ideas and theoretical contributions underlying the concept of supply chain segmentation are hardly new, but have evolved ever since the beginning of the 1990s. However, a
Striving to contribute to research on child- and youth spirituality and African theology with a contextually grounded, non-western, qualitative youth perspective, the aim of this study is to seek an understanding of the spirituality of male youth that live on the streets in Nairobi. To fulfil this aim, the research task carried out is an analysis of the source material from six focus group intervi
Patients with dementia experience a steady deterioration in cognitive function that increases mortality and impairments. Moreover, dementia is also anticipated to increase significantly in prevalence as the world's population ages, placing a strain on healthcare systems throughout the globe. Hence, early identification and prediction of dementia are essential due to timely treatments, enhanced pat
Purpose: To define the curriculum content for two interactive learning courses on age-related macular degeneration (AMD): (1) an advanced course tailored for general ophthalmologists and (2) a basic course for non-ophthalmologist healthcare staff. This initiative aims to establish a national consensus on the educational framework for AMD management among general ophthalmologists in Denmark. Method
Few existing studies have delved into individual-level attitudes towards the exchange of sexual services for payment, leaving a significant gap in our understanding. Various studies have speculated about how certain demographic factors and attitudes may shape people's perceptions of causes and consequences relating to such exchanges, but none have directly investigated this topic. To bridge this g
To explore the possible influence of pre-eclampsia on cognitive outcome in children born very preterm after intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) and abnormal umbilical artery blood flow.
Although Global Digital Elevation Models (GDEMs) are widely used, their spatial error distributions over extensive regions remain insufficiently understood. Using ICESat-2 Reference Control Points (RCPs) (~ 30 points/km²), this paper not only evaluates GDEMs with point-based metrics such as Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) and Mean Error (ME), but also proposes a novel raster-independent Spatial Erro
INTRODUCTION: Genetic deficiency of factor XI is associated with a reduced risk of ischemic stroke. Asundexian is a direct inhibitor of activated factor XIa (FXIa) with a low risk of bleeding in early trials. We seek to determine its efficacy and safety combined with antiplatelet therapy for prevention of ischemic stroke. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Oral faCtor Eleven A iNhibitor asundexian as novel ant
Negative symptoms (avolition, anhedonia, asociality, blunted affect, and alogia) are among the most disabling features of schizophrenia spectrum disorders. In the absence of treatment consensus guidelines, this PRISMA-compliant meta-analysis (PROSPERO: CRD42024613967) evaluated efficacy and clinical significance of interventions targeting this dimension. Web of Science/PsycInfo databases were sear
Laminins are extracellular matrix glycoproteins that influence the phenotype and functions of many types of cells. Laminins are heterotrimers composed of alpha, beta, and gamma polypeptides. So far five alpha, three beta, and two gamma polypeptide chains, and 11 variants of laminins have been proposed. Laminins interact in vitro with mature blood cells and malignant hematopoietic cells. Most studi
Chiral compounds containing nitrogen heteroatoms are fundamental substances for the chemical, pharmaceutical and agrochemical industries. However, the preparation of some of these interesting scaffolds is still underdeveloped. Herein we present the synthesis of a family of P-stereogenic phosphinooxazoline iridium catalysts from L-threonine methyl ester and their use in the asymmetric hydrogenation
Psychodermatology is a subspecialty of dermatology that is of increasing interest to dermatologists and patients. The case for the provision of at least regional psychodermatology services across Europe is robust. Psychodermatology services have been shown to have better, quicker and more cost-efficient clinical outcomes for patients with psychodermatological conditions. Despite this, psychodermat
