Assessment reform in Chile: a contested discursive space by Flórez Petour, M

“…The thesis makes a case for situating the study of assessment reforms in the context of three broader dimensions, namely the historical dimension, that incorporates the diachronic dimension of assessment reforms both in the short and the long term; the systemic dimension, related to the processes of production, circulation and consumption of discourses around assessment in a complex web of systems, beliefs, interactions and (power) relationships between their actors, and the ideological dimension. …”

The role of circulating tumor DNA in melanomas of the uveal tract by Zameer, MZ, Jou, E, Middleton, M

“…The high risk for metastatic disease with a variable and often long latency period is thought to be due to early spread of cancer cells disseminating into organs such as the liver, followed by a period of dormancy, before the eventual emergence of radiologically measurable disease. …”

Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and a supertyphoon: A quantitative study in Cebu, Philippines by Ylade, M, Adhikari, B, Crisostomo, MV, Daag, JV, Cuachin, AM, Lopez, MH, Macasero, A, Agrupis, KA, Deen, J

Methodology research in clinical studies for Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTDs) of the skin: Addressing design, conduct and relevance for context and target population by Erber, A

“…Both are ‘diseases of poverty’ and can cause long-term disabilities. This work comprises two research methodology studies, suggesting novel approaches to design and conduct of clinical studies in order to make research more relevant for their context, and for patients. …”

Sensorimotor hand representation following altered input by Wesselink, DB

“…The rapid plasticity that was observed simultaneously with preservation of inter-digit relationships may help resolve apparent discrepancies between studies indicating sensorimotor representational change and long-term stability observed in amputees. Together, these studies stress the importance of early-life behaviour in shaping the primary somatosensory cortex and how later in life, the scope of sensorimotor plasticity is much more limited than previously thought. …”

Transcriptional brain networks and their key regulators across the human lifespan by Wehrspaun, CC

“…I extended the analysis to differentiate between brain regions and additional regulatory RNA elements, namely long noncoding (lnc) RNAs. I found that genes in the hypothalamus express a region-specific network to which are also associated co-expressed lncRNAs. …”

Mixing and warming characterisation of cryogenic hydrogen jets through proper orthogonal decomposition by Tretola, G, Shen, Li, Leach, F, Vogiatzaki, K

“…Hydrogen is being increasingly used as an alternative fuel for vehicles and aircraft propulsion. For long-distance transportation and large-scale energy storage, liquid hydrogen or cryo-compressed hydrogen with typical densities of 70 g/L, is more promising than warm compressed gaseous hydrogen. …”

Is nitrogen present in Li3N·P2S5 solid electrolytes produced by ball milling? by Hartley, G, Jin, L, Bergner, B, Spencer Jolly, D, Rees, G, Zekoll, S, Ning, Z, Pateman, A, Holc, C, Adamson, P, Bruce, P

“…<p>Nitrogenous solid electrolytes such as lithium phosphorus oxynitride (LiPON) have effectual interfacial compatibility with lithium metal; in part, this has enabled the development of thin-film solid-state batteries with excellent long-term cycling performance. However, most known nitrogen-containing solid electrolytes lack the ionic conductivity required for high-power/high-capacity batteries; therefore, the development of new nitrogenous solid electrolytes with increased ionic conductivity is highly desirable. …”

Divine assemblies in early Greek and Mesopotamian narrative poetry by Ballesteros Petrella, B

“…Because the shared elements are profoundly embedded in the Greek orally-derived poetic tradition, it is possible to envisage a long-term process of oral contact and communication fostered by common structures. …”

Macroevolutionary history of Neotropical vegetation during the Cenozoic: a palynological perspective from Colombia by De La Parra Bonilla, G
