Nuclear revival in North Africa? Developments in Algeria, Libya, and Egypt
Nuclear Energy and Techno-Nationalism in Egypt
The nuclear egg: challenging the dominant narratives of the atomic age
Low-cost measurements of the 'resonant' wavelengths reflected by a compact disk under skimming rays
We demonstrate the construction and utilization of an affordable apparatus using readily available materials to accurately measure in a quantitative manner the wavelengths reflected by a compact disc (CD) under skimming light rays. In fact, only a limited number of wavelengths can be revealed when light rays from a white lamp are directed at a CD (or a DVD) in a manner that specifically selects th
Deep-learning image enhancement and fibre segmentation from time-resolved computed tomography of fibre-reinforced composites
Monitoring the microstructure and damage development of fibre-reinforced composites during loading is crucial to understanding their mechanical properties. Time-resolved X-ray computed tomography enables such an in-situ, non-destructive study. However, the photon flux and fibre-matrix contrast limit its achievable spatial and temporal resolution. In this paper, we push the limits of temporal and s
Socioeconomic Disparities Across the Spectrum of Genetic Burden in Type 2 Diabetes and Obesity Risk
Incremental Value of Exercise ECG to Myocardial Perfusion Single-Photon Emission Computed Tomography for Prediction of Cardiac Events
BACKGROUND: Both myocardial perfusion single-photon emission computed tomography (MPS) and exercise ECG (Ex-ECG) carry prognostic information in patients with stable chest pain. However, it is not fully understood if combining the findings of MPS and Ex-ECG improves risk prediction. Current guidelines no longer recommend Ex-ECG for diagnostic evaluation of chronic coronary syndrome, but Ex-ECG cou
CRP, C-Peptide, and Risk of First-Time Cardiovascular Events and Mortality in Early Type 2 Diabetes : A Danish Cohort Study
We investigated the relationship between hs-CRP, a marker of low-grade inflam-mation, alone or in combination with C-peptide, a marker of hyperinsulinemia/ insulin resistance, and risk for cardiovascular events (CVEs) and mortality in patients recently diagnosed with type 2 diabetes (T2D). RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS In patients with recent-onset T2D, we measured serum hs-CRP (n = 7,301) and C-pep
Sömnstörningar vanliga efter behandling för hjärntumör som barn
Hjärntumörer är en av de vanligaste barncancerdiagnoserna och många som överlever drabbas av sömnstörningar efteråt. Tumörens läge i hjärnan, tillsammans med vilken behandling man får, påverkar hur stor risken är. Det finns dock även andra faktorer som påverkar, och övervikt hos barnet är den enskilt största riskfaktorn för sömnsvårigheter.
Multilateral Climate Finance Coordination : Politics and Depoliticization in Practice
The governance of public climate finance for mitigation and adaptation in developing countries is fragmented on both the international and national levels, with a high diversity of actors with overlapping mandates, preferences, and areas of expertise. In the absence of one unifying actor or institution, coordination among actors has emerged as a response to this fragmentation. In this article, we
Molecular complexity of mammary glands development : a review of lactogenic differentiation in epithelial cells
The mammary gland is a dynamic organ with various physiological processes like cellular proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis during the pregnancy-lactation-involution cycle. It is essential to understand the molecular changes during the lactogenic differentiation of mammary epithelial cells (MECs, the milk-synthesizing cells). The MECs are organized as luminal milk-secreting cells and bas
2023 ESC Guidelines for the management of acute coronary syndromes
Guidelines and Recommendations for Laboratory Analysis in the Diagnosis and Management of Diabetes Mellitus
The guidelines provide specific recommendations based on published data or derived from expert consensus. Several analytes are found to have minimal clinical value at the present time, and measurement of them is not recommended.
Management of antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody–associated vasculitis with glomerulonephritis as proposed by the ACR 2021, EULAR 2022 and KDIGO 2021 guidelines/recommendations
Updated guidelines on the management of antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV) were released in 2021 by the American College of Rheumatology jointly with the Vasculitis Foundation and, subsequently, in 2022 by the European Alliance of Associations for Rheumatology. In addition, in 2021, the Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes had released updated recommendatio
Postmigrant Talks Experiences of Language Use in Swedish Academia Academic Migrants in Sweden
The authors take on a problem that many departments in Sweden, not least in the humanities, are dealing with right now: language. They show how social status in academia is decoupled from linguistic integration, at least if we understand status in terms of academic titles. Feelings of insufficiency and incompleteness are, however, prevalent, even among those whose Swedish proficiency is objectivel
Spina bifida global learning collaborative : Educating the next generation of clinicians, researchers, and advocates
PURPOSE: This project aimed to launch an international learning community to guide the development of a spina bifida (SB) curriculum for global health trainees.METHODS: Using a descriptive study design, a convenience sample of SB curricula were identified in 2022-23 by members of the Spina Bifida World Congress Outreach Committee and evaluated during a series of monthly Zoom calls to discuss SB ed
Engaging in Societal Collaboration Through Reflexivity : Experiences from a Cross-Disciplinary Pilot Course for Faculty
There is limited understanding of how education initiatives geared toward faculty and support staff can foster a capacity for long-term and integrated societal engagement and collaboration within higher education institutions. Using the experiences from a cross-disciplinary pilot course in Sweden, the current study aims to identify features that explicate how skills and academic rigor for engagingThere is limited understanding of how education initiatives geared toward faculty and support staff can foster a capacity for long-term and integrated societal engagement and collaboration within higher education institutions.

Breast cancer detection accuracy of AI in an entire screening population : a retrospective, multicentre study
Background: Artificial intelligence (AI) systems are proposed as a replacement of the first reader in double reading within mammography screening. We aimed to assess cancer detection accuracy of an AI system in a Danish screening population. Methods: We retrieved a consecutive screening cohort from the Region of Southern Denmark including all participating women between Aug 4, 2014, and August 15,
A practical guide to calculating vocal tract length and scale-invariant formant patterns
Formants (vocal tract resonances) are increasingly analyzed not only by phoneticians in speech but also by behavioral scientists studying diverse phenomena such as acoustic size exaggeration and articulatory abilities of non-human animals. This often involves estimating vocal tract length acoustically and producing scale-invariant representations of formant patterns. We present a theoretical frame
