This thesis examines the way in which various groups have used religion as a justification for violent action towards political ends. From the Irgun, which carried out terrorist acts in Palestine, to the Palestinian Islamist...
Evaluating acquisition of student knowledge is a pivotal part of the educational process, as it is essential to determine what knowledge students have actually acquired, and what needs to be further elaborated. Traditionally...
Introduction: Degenerative Cervical Myelopathy (DCM) is a common and disabling condition, with a relatively modest research capacity. In order to accelerate knowledge discovery, the AO Spine RECODE-DCM project has recently...

As if writing prophetically about the global Covid-19 pandemic, in 1984 Eddy
suggested, “Uncertainty creeps into medical practice through every pore. Whether a physician is defining a disease, making a diagnosis, selecting a...
Assessing learning is a crucial part of the academic process, and most assessments rely on explicit evaluations such as tests and quizzes on the material. One example of implicit evaluation is the Structural Assessment of...
We observe clear evidence of adiabatic passage between photon populations via a four-wave mixing process, implemented through a dispersion sweep arranged by a core diameter taper of an optical fiber. Photonic rapid adiabatic...
The interplay between magnetism and superconductivity can lead to unconventional proximity and Josephson effects. A related phenomenon that has recently attracted considerable attention is the superconducting diode effect, in...
Optically addressable spins in materials are important platforms for quantum
technologies, such as repeaters and sensors. Identification of such systems in
two-dimensional (2d) layered materials offers advantages over their...

CONTEXT: Chronic or refractory breathlessness is common and distressing. To evaluate new treatments, outcome measures that capture change in patients' experience are needed. OBJECTIVES: To explore the extent to which the...
ARDS is a life-threatening form of respiratory failure accounting for at least 10% of global ICU admissions (1-5). The Berlin definition for diagnosing ARDS, is expensive for most resource-constrained settings to apply(6-8)....
In the wake of rapid CO2 release tied to the emplacement of the Siberian Traps, elevated temperatures were maintained for over five million years during the end-Permian biotic crisis. This protracted recovery defies our current...
Introduction: Limited data exist on the epidemiology of acute hypoxaemic respiratory failure (AHRF) in low-income countries (LICs). We sought to determine the prevalence of AHRF in critically ill adult patients admitted to a...
Abstract: Background: Transposable elements (TEs) are enriched in cytosine methylation, preventing their mobility within the genome. We previously identified a genome-wide repertoire of candidate intracisternal A particle (IAP)...
