The social theories of the political commentator and philosopher of modern times, Hannah Arendt (1958), can be used to guide the ‘profession of education’ towards a re-conceptualisation of teacher education. Within a context of rapid, constant and pervasive change teacher educators are challenged on a daily basis. They too need some time to facilitate personal renewal and change in this post-mo...

There are several monogenic disorders of pancreatic β-cell function, characterized by various degrees of chronic hyperglycemia. They are usually diagnosed early in life, in neonates or during infancy, in childhood and even in young adulthood1-3. The identification of causal mutations in a dozen of different genes has already proven to have a great clinical impact opening new avenues in genomic ...

Ghost crabs (Ocypode quadrata) have been implicated in mortality of eggs and chicks of the beach-nesting Piping Plover (Charadrius melodus) whose Atlantic Coast populations are listed as threatened. Through observation and experimentation, we investigated the interactions between ghost crabs and plovers on Wild Beach, a Piping Plover nesting area on Assateague Island, Virginia. This site has a ...

BACKGROUND Mutations in microtubule-regulating genes are associated with disorders of neuronal migration and microcephaly. Regulation of centriole length has been shown to underlie the pathogenesis of certain ciliopathy phenotypes. Using a next-generation sequencing approach, we identified mutations in a novel centriolar disease gene in a kindred with an embryonic lethal ciliopathy phenotype an...

Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH) is a disorder defined by elevated mean pulmonary arterial pressure. PAH can be idiopathic or associated with a variety of medical conditions such as scleroderma, congenital heart disease, left heart failure, lung disease or chronic pulmonary thromboembolism. This progressive disease can cause severe right heart failure and death. Normal physiologic changes ...

Målinger af atmosfærisk turbulens afviger fra en Gaussisk proces, specielt hvad ang̊ar hastighedsændringer over sm̊a tidsskridt, hvor halerne p̊a sandsynlighedsfordelingen snarere er ekspotentielle end Gaussiske. Tælleprincipperne for ekstreme hændelser og eksistensen af kaskader af hændelser gennemg̊as. Empiriske ekstremstatistikker findes i overensstemmelse med Rices overskridelsesteori, n̊ar ford...
