A taskforce formed in 2013 by the International Federation of Clinical Neurophysiology developed an EEG terminology with international consensus. In the following, the result - the second version of Standardized Computer-based Organized Reporting of EEG (SCORE) will be summarised. The terminology was tested in clinical practice using a software package (SCORE-EEG) applied to over 12,000 EEGs. The

On the Hadronic light-by-light contribution to the muon g-2

This talk is about the hadronic light-by-light contribution to the muon anomalous magnetic moment, mainly our old work but including some newer results as well. It concentrates on the model calculations. Most attention is paid to pseudo-scalar exchange and the pion loop contribution. Scalar, a1-exchange and other contributions are shortly discussed as well. For the π0-exchange a possible large can

Towards a cultural politics of climate change : Devices, desires and dissent

Towards a Cultural Politics of Climate Change provides a new perspective on how climate change matters in policy-making, business and everyday life. It argues that the work of low carbon transitions takes place through the creation of devices, the mobilisation of desires, and the articulation of dissent. Using case studies from the US, Australia, and Europe, the book examines the creation and cont

Introduction

The footprint of climate change is now clearly visible within the culture industries. Museum exhibitions are held, newspaper headlines constructed, novels are written, films are screened and various art forms are provoked by and around the themes of the changing climate and its societal implications. This explicit cultural dimension, alongside the complex scientific, economic, social and political

Learning to Trust: From Relational Exchange to Generalized Trust in China

Where does generalized trust—that is, the inclination to place trust in strangers—come from? Our claim is that in economic action, sources of generalized trust may not differ much from the sources of personalized trust. Contrary to a common assumption of a sharp distinction between personalized and generalized trust, we assert a likely spillover effect from relational exchange to a person’s expect

Classification of Maize in Complex Smallholder Farming Systems Using UAV Imagery

Yield estimates and yield gap analysis are important for identifying poor agricultural productivity. Remote sensing holds great promise for measuring yield and thus determining yield gaps. Farming systems in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) are commonly characterized by small field size, intercropping, different crop species with similar phenologies, and sometimes high cloud frequency during the growing s

Putting Asylum to the ‘European Refugee Crisis’ Test: Sub-Regional Realities and Legal Challenges

This contribution serves as the introduction to the edited volume titled 'The New Asylum and Transit Countries in Europe. During and in the Aftermath of the 2015/2016 Crisis'. In particular it provides an overview of the four dynamics captured in the volume. The first one concerns the absorption of EU norms in Central and South Eastern Europe. The second dynamic is the reaction by the counties in

Conference presentation in palliative medicine : Predictors of subsequent publication

Objectives Concerns have been raised about poor-quality palliative care research and low publication rate from conference abstracts. The study objectives: to estimate the publication rate for European Association for Palliative Care research conference abstracts (2008) and explore associated characteristics and to understand reasons for non-publication. Methods Full published papers were searched

In ovo yolk carotenoid and testosterone levels interactively influence female transfer of yolk antioxidants to her eggs

Mothers can influence prenatal conditions by varying the amount of nutrients, hormones or antioxidants they provide to their developing young. Some of these substances even affect the transfer of these compounds in the next generation, but it is less clear how different maternally transmitted compounds interact with each other to shape reproductive resource allocation in their offspring. Here, we

Atherogenesis and plaque rupture, surface/interface-related phenomena

In atherogenesis, free oxygen radicals cause a lipid peroxidation of apoB100-containing lipoproteins in the blood, at the blood–endothelium-interface and in the subendothelial space. These lipoproteins easily aggregate, bind to their receptor heparan sulfate proteoglycan and calcify to arteriosclerotic nanoplaques (ternary complexes). Nanoplaque formation was measured by ellipsometry, both in vitr

Optimal vs satisfactory transparency : The impact of global macroeconomic fluctuations on corporate competitiveness

Being able to separate temporary global macroeconomic influences – caused by fluctuations in exchange rates, interest rates and inflation – from intrinsic performance – related to a superior product, production process or management – is crucial to assessing the development of a firm's competiveness. Against that background, this paper analyzes institutions’ role in making firms supply outside sha

Zebrafish Differentially Process Color across Visual Space to Match Natural Scenes

Animal eyes have evolved to process behaviorally important visual information, but how retinas deal with statistical asymmetries in visual space remains poorly understood. Using hyperspectral imaging in the field, in vivo 2-photon imaging of retinal neurons, and anatomy, here we show that larval zebrafish use a highly anisotropic retina to asymmetrically survey their natural visual world. First, d

Integrating the methods of project-based learning and role-playing to promote deep approach of learning : Programming languages

In recent years, there has been an increasing amount of literature on critical thinking and deep learning. Conversely, the traditional pedagogical methods of teaching lack the potentiality to make deep learning especially for the practice-oriented courses such as programming languages. Thus, this study is designed based on the Project-Based Learning (PBL) and Role-Playing (RP) which are integrated

ICT4D research – Literature review and conflict perspective

ICTs can positively influence development outcomes. However, ICT4D projects have achieved limited success in achieving their development objectives. In this study, we conduct a literature review of ICT4D studies conducted over the period 2006 - 2016. We find that theory linking ICT use and development impact is lacking, and that mobile devices might offer high positive impact possibilities than pe
