This is an article on meetings between art and history, both regarding more traditional concepts as monuments but also modern, traumatic histories interpreted by artists.

This study examines the effects of teachable agents’ expressed self-efficacy on students. A total of 166 students, 10- to 11-years-old, used a teachable agent-based math game focusing on the base-ten number system. By means of data logging and questionnaires, the study compared the effects of high vs. low agent self-efficacy on the students’ in-game performance, their own math self-efficacy, and t

Educational software based on teachable agents has repeatedly proven to have positive effects on students’ learning outcomes. The strongest effects have been shown for low-performers. A number of mechanisms have been proposed to explore this outcome, in particular mechanisms that involve attributions of social agency to teachable agents. Our study examined whether an expression of high versus low

Presentation at panel on Nordic Trust, International Anti-corruption Conference, Copenhagen. This paper argues that trust and control should not be seen as opposites, and that formulating a theory of Nordic corruption (which is based on networks and cronyism rather than bribery) a better approach is a hybrid concept of 'trusted control' or 'controlled trust'

Background: the European Union of Medical Specialists (UEMS-GMS) recommendations for training in Geriatric Medicine were published in 1993. The practice of Geriatric Medicine has developed considerably since then and it has therefore become necessary to update these recommendations.Methods: under the auspices of the UEMS-GMS, the European Geriatric Medicine Society (EuGMS) and the European Academy

For diagnostic purpose, particles can be labeled with radionuclides or contain magnetizable materials making them suitable for external measurements of their biokinetics in vivo. In therapy, particles can be used as targetable drug-delivery systems or, if containing radioactivity, for internal radiation therapy. Loaded with, e.g., stable iodine, particles may also be used for photon activation the

When starch is heated in water, it absorbs water and swells. is is the process of gelatinization, a process that causes a tremendous change in the rheological properties of the starch suspension. e properties of starch gels are very sensitive to factors such as shearing, temperature, heating or cooling rate, and, of course, the source of the starch and the presence of other components. e gelatiniz

This chapter presents a brief summary and state-of-the-art overview of computational methods in heat transfer equipment, that is, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) methods for thermal problems and turbulence modeling for single-phase applications in the design, research, and development of heat exchangers. Some examples for real heat exchangers are shown to demonstrate how CFD methods can be used
