Building a better normal : Visions of Schools of Education in a post-pandemic world
The global COVID-19 pandemic fundamentally changed education as we know it. Globally, billions of learners at all levels were affected by months of rolling school closures and other severe pandemic restrictions to daily life. Magnifying issues of educational equity, access, and opportunity, this unprecedented global crisis forced Deans, and academic and professional staff in schools of education tThe global COVID-19 pandemic fundamentally changed education as we know it.

Phenotypic plasticity in tropical butterflies is linked to climatic seasonality on a macroevolutionary scale
Phenotypic plasticity can be adaptive in fluctuating environments by providing rapid environment-phenotype matching and this applies particularly in seasonal environments. African Bicyclus butterflies have repeatedly colonized seasonal savannahs from ancestral forests around the late Miocene, and many species now exhibit seasonal polyphenism. On a macroevolutionary scale, it can be expected that s
Synthesis and spectroscopic properties of carotenoid bis-phenylhydrazone astaxanthin : extending conjugation to a C=N group
We report on the synthesis and detailed spectroscopic characterization of bis-phenylhydrazone astaxanthin (BPH-Asx), a derivative of astaxanthin (Asx), in which the conjugated carbonyl group of Asx is replaced by a conjugated C N bond. BPH-Asx was successfully synthesized and characterized using various spectroscopic techniques, revealing subtle changes in absorption spectra and significant altera
A global initiative to deliver precision health in diabetes
A recent workshop brought together global leaders in diabetes to assess existing approaches to disease heterogeneity and to identify research gaps, with a goal of achieving precision diabetology for all patients globally.
The Giant Awakens : Law and Economics of Excessive Pricing During the COVID-19 Crisis
Price gouging of essential items, and the global debate on pricing of vaccines and treatments during the COVID-19 crisis, provide an optimal proxy to revisit the law and economics discourse on excessive pricing as an abuse of dominant position. Beyond a normative soul-searching of the efficiency v fairness debate, this chapter analyses excessive pricing cases during the COVID-19 pandemic in the EU
Excessive Pharmaceutical Pricing as an Abuse of Dominant Position-The Case of CD Pharma (Denmark)

The long-running case,1 which revolved around the brightly colored, fashionable leather boots by iconic Danish designer Ilse Jacobsen, ended with the Danish and European fashion industry on the receiving end of the legal boot. The Danish Supreme Court stopped short of awarding copyright to Ilse Jacobsen as a reward for her ‘free and independent creative effort’ in regard to the design of the now i

Excessive Pharmaceutical Prices as an Anticompetitive Practice in TRIPS and European Competition Law
The issue of securing access to patented pharmaceutical products has been in the forefront of global legal debate for many years. This debate intensified further following the enactment of the TRIPSTRIPS agreement and the global enforcement of Intellectual Property Rights such as patents through the World Trade Organization. To combat the problem, compulsory licensingCompulsory licensing has been
The future of fossil fuels, chemicals, and feedstocks : Outlining a research agenda on the role of China in the global petrochemical industry
Petrochemical production is tightly entangled with fossil fuel extraction and constitutes the primary driver of oil demand growth. Therefore, scholars have increasingly started exploring the linkages between fossil fuels and chemicals, tracing their importance for the political economy of energy transitions. A defining feature in the global petrochemical industry is that the majority of the recent
Key issues for stakeholder engagement in the development of health and healthcare guidelines

The MuSE group is developing guidance for stakeholder engagement in the development of health and healthcare guideline development. The development of this guidance has included multiple meetings with stakeholde
Are excessive pricing cases few and far between? A quantitative analysis of fifty years of European jurisprudence 1971–2021
The prohibition against excessive pricing dates back to the years of Babylonian King Hammurabi. Nevertheless, the prohibition is described by many as being “controversial” and against “mainstream economics”, which is why it should be applied rather sparsely. It has also rather routinely been claimed that the actual number of excessive pricing cases is “scarce”, “limited” and so on. Despite the his

Multipath Routing From a Traffic Engineering Perspective: How Beneficial is It?
Multipath routing gives traffic demands an opportunity to use multiple paths through a network. In a single-demand situation, its benefits are easy to see. In a multi-commodity case, when potentially all node-pairs (demands) generate traffic, they compete for the same network resources. In this work, we consider multipath routing in communication networks in a multi-commodity setting from a traffi
