Factors contributing to valuable development assistance are often perceived as a "black box," due to heterogeneity of development aid motives. This research brings out that too often, the value of aid is assessed from the perspectives of the donors rather than from its recipients.

Background: Invasive infections with non-beta-haemolytic streptococci (NBHS) is quite common and presents the clinicians with difficulties regarding which patients are at risk for infective endocarditis (IE). The HANDOC score was developed to identify patients with NBHS bacteraemia who are at low risk of IE. This study was conducted to validate HANDOC in an external cohort.Methods: Patients with NBackground: Invasive infections with non-beta-haemolytic streptococci (NBHS) is quite common and presents the clinicians with difficulties regarding which patients are at risk for infective endocarditis (IE).

There are 3 factors that have a large impact on the motivation to help a victim. 1.) A higher willingness to help an identified, than a non-identified victim. 2.) A preference for saving a large percentage of a group at risk in comparison to only considering the total number of saved victims. 3.) A victim closer to the helpers in-group elicits a higher motivation to help. In previous studies only

By modeling of an enzymatic reaction for pharmaceutical production it is possible to get a better understand the mechanism of the enzymatic reaction, and to find an optimal condition for the process step. The enzyme in question is enteropeptidase that cleaves proteins by hy-drolysis. Enteropeptidase can cleave at many different cleaving sites, if the amino acid Argi-nine or Lysine is at the first

For a collection to be considered as such, and not appear only as a clutter or jumble of things, it has to be based on some kind of selection and systematisation. The research question of this article is how and why collectors structure their collections, organise, and arrange them.

As observed in earlier studies, there is evidently a performance gap between the predicted annual energy use from building performance simulations basedon traditional deterministic methods compared to the monitored annual energy use of a building. The hypothesis is that using a probabilistic method makes it possible to consider the uncertainties in the input data and quantify the overall uncertainAs observed in earlier studies, there is evidently a performance gap between the predicted annual energy use from building performance simulations based on traditional deterministic methods compared to the monitored annual energy use of a building.

This essay illustrates the problems which come up when the utmost will gets neglected because the forms prescribed by law have to be fulfilled for a tes- tament to be valid. It focuses foremost on the holographic testament, which can be written in circumstances of sickness or emergencies, when an indi- vidual is unable to write an ordinary testament.

In this master’s thesis I will investigate how librarians think about how their profession is affected by and relates to the democratic mission and various cultural policy decisions. I will also attempt to make more clear how librarians interpret, relate and deal with external forces of change such as technology, politics and other social forces. This has been done to investigate and survey the tw

Nearly 60% of the worlds adult population is projected to be overweight or obese by 2030. The prevalence of obesity- related diseases, such as type 2 diabetes (T2D), has increased markedly in the past decades. The adipose tissue plays an important role in disease progression of T2D. Adipocyte insulin sensitivity, adipose tissue’s ability to expand, and accumulation of subcutaneous rather than visc

Global urbanisation reduces greenery and species richness (biodiversity) and limits opportunities for most children to gain experiences of nature. Disconnecting children from nature has implications for their play, health, well-being, and comprehension of ecological systems, as well as their engagement with the environment as adults.In the competition for land for built infrastructure, the preserv
