This article considers students’ and teachers’ perceptions of shared reading (SR) in promoting reading engagement. It provides a thematic analysis of focus groups with students and teachers at a Swedish upper-secondary school who participated in an intervention consisting of SR sessions. The findings are triangulated with a student pre-intervention questionnaire that included reading habits.The st

Volcanic eruptions are documented throughout geological history and are frequently observed and experienced in the modernworld. Strong eruptions in recent decades have resulted in air and water pollution, acid snowfall, disruption in aerial transport and variousillnesses in humans and livestock. Despite their consequences, these recent events are incomparable to eruptions of a much largermagnitude

BACKGROUND: Despite oral anticoagulation, patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) remain at risk of ischemic stroke and systemic embolism (SE) events. For patients whose residual risk is sufficiently high, additional therapies might be useful to mitigate stroke risk. METHODS AND RESULTS: Individual patient data from 5 landmark trials testing oral anticoagulation in AF were pooled in A Collaboration

Energy conservation measures (ECMs) are often chosen for their immediate benefits, such as suitability to past/current climate conditions and rapid economic returns. However, the longevity of these ECMs poses a risk of becoming outdated or ineffective as climate change alters the very climatic parameters they were designed for. This paper provides insight into the foresight required when selecting

We present high spectral resolution observations of the hot Jupiter WASP-94 A b using the HARPS instrument on ESO’s 3.6-m telescope in La Silla, Chile. We probed for Na absorption in its atmosphere as well as constrained the previously reported misaligned retrograde orbit using the Rossiter–McLaughlin effect. Additionally, we undertook a combined atmospheric retrieval analysis with previously publ

Introduction: Grey pea is a largely overlooked legume in the Nordic countries, and its potential uses in various food products remain unexplored. It is a nutrient-rich crop with low environmental impact, making it an attractive option for sustainable and nutritious plant-based alternatives. Objectives: To investigate the impact of dehulling, germination, and fermentation on the bioactive (poly

Atmospheric new particle formation (NPF) is a naturally occurring phenomenon, during which high concentrations of sub-10 nm particles are created through gas to particle conversion. The NPF is observed in multiple environments around the world. Although it has observable influence onto annual total and ultrafine particle number concentrations (PNC and UFP, respectively), only limited epidemiologic

Railway incidents undermine both punctuality and capacity. As traffic volumes increase, the frequency of these incidents is also expected to increase, driven by higher asset utilization, reduced time for maintenance, and further worsened by climate change. This highlights the importance of efficient incident management and corrective maintenance. This study uses a combination of exploratory data a

The ACMG/AMP guidelines include five categories of which variants of uncertain significance (VUSs) have received increasing attention. Recently, Fowler and Rehm claimed that all or most VUSs could be reclassified as pathogenic or benign within few years. To test this claim, we collected validated benign, pathogenic, VUS and conflicting variants from ClinVar and LOVD and investigated differences at

AIM: To evaluate the locations of metastatic pelvic sentinel nodes (SLN) and the proportion of SLNs outside and within defined typical anatomical positions along the upper paracervical lymphatic pathway (UPP).PATIENTS AND METHODS: Consecutive women with endometrial cancer (EC) of all risk groups underwent pelvic SLN-detection using cervically injected indocyanine green (ICG). A strict anatomically

INTRODUCTION: 22q11.2 deletion syndrome (22qDS) has been associated with varying levels of social impairments, and with atypical visual scanning of faces. The present study explored whether self-reported sensitivity to eye contact might be related to these phenomena.METHOD: Individuals with confirmed 22qDS were interviewed about their experience and possible discomfort with eye contact. In cases w

Magnetomotive Ultrasound, MMUS, is an imaging modality used to reveal a magnetic contrast agent using an external time-varying inhomogeneous magnetic field. By this, the particles are set in motion, and the motion is detected with ultrasound. The technique has applications in cancer detection but is limited in penetration as the magnetic field decreases rapidly with distance. Instead of increasing

There is currently intensive research on the development of biobased polymers as potential alternatives to the environmentally hazardous isocyanate-based polyurethanes. In this context, polythioureas (PTUs) form a particularly attractive target because they can be synthesized by using isothiocyanates, a class of molecules that can be found in nature with expected low toxicity. Herein, a series

Comic art has been described as having an ability to challenge taken for granted assumptions, illuminate cultural norms, and contest and give space for alternative imaginaries. Approaching comics as both art and activism, this chapter takes hold of the capacity in comic art to make visible and shape action in relation to social conventions and cultural norms. It does so by reading comics through a
