Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) has been ranked 5th in the world in the latest Times Higher Education’s Interdisciplinary Science Rankings released today.

 

Jumping several spots from its 9th position last year, NTU is the only university in Singapore in the global top five, and also the only one from Asia. The top five is dominated by top American universities, with Massachusetts Institute of Technology taking pole position, followed by Stanford University, California Institute of Technology, and the University of California, Berkeley.

 

This Interdisciplinary Science Rankings measures a university’s interdisciplinary scope in funding, processes, and outputs (publications, research quality and reputation). NTU achieved a perfect score in one of the metrics, measures of interdisciplinary success, and performed well in volume of interdisciplinary publications and reputation for interdisciplinary science research.

National Women’s Soccer League and Angel City FC defender Savy King are teaming up with the American Heart Association on a groundbreaking league-wide initiative to equip all NWSL 16 teams with the lifesaving skills of Hands-Only cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and automatic external defibrillator (AED) education.

Point-of-care ultrasound is a technique proven to help physicians diagnose medical problems faster and more accurately, but there is no national consensus on how to train physicians to use it. New research, led by CU Anschutz physicians and alumni, works 

An international team of researchers, including scholars from HSE University, has analysed how the number of non-academic staff affects a university’s performance. The study found that the outcome depends on the institution’s profile: in research universities, the share of administrative and support staff has no effect on efficiency, whereas in teaching-oriented universities, there is a positive correlation. The findings have been published in Applied Economics.

The Jesuit Order, as the carrier of the Sankt Georgen Graduate School of Philosophy and Theology (PTH), the Diocese of Limburg, and Goethe University Frankfurt aim to collaborate more closely in the future. A newly signed letter of intent outlines the goal of deepening the cooperation between the university and the higher education institution, as well as jointly strengthening teaching and research offerings. This initiative seeks to secure the future of the Catholic Theology field of study as well as the Sankt Georgen campus.

The combination of artificial intelligence and human collaboration is transforming the analysis of tissue (anatomopathological) samples obtained from biopsies or surgical specimens. A study published in the journal Nature Communications, with participation from the D’Or Institute for Research and Education (IDOR), presented an innovative collaborative platform capable of segmenting digital tissue images with high precision—even with limited manual data—and identifying markers related to the prognosis of patients with melanoma, a type of skin cancer. Dr. Lidiane Vieira Marins, a pathologist at Rede D'Or and an IDOR researcher, was among the authors representing Brazil in the study.
