The Teaching of the Old Testament Revolutionized? The Sixteenth-Century Low Countries and the First Institutionalized Hebrew Curriculum. KU Leuven

This perspective has been severely criticized by interactionism ...

Are these caused by the patient’s condition, procedure’s complexity, or influenced by team members' psychosocial well-being, work environmental and/or organizational factors? Near-misses, errors, adverse events and patient outcomes will be analyzed during elective endovascular procedures in a hybrid ...

Planetariums are science centres in which the public is exposed to the fascinating world of the (night) sky. The projections on the planetarium dome allow for an immersive experience that fosters the natural interest in astronomy. Most planetariums provide also educational services and many schools organise a planetarium visit in the context of the science curriculum. The impact of these planetarium visits on learning, however, is vastly ...
