Background: The global dairy market is experiencing a massive transition as dairy farming has recently undergone modernization. As a result, the dairy industry needs to improve its operational efficiencies by implementing effective optimization techniques. Conventional and emerging optimization techniques have already gained momentum in the dairy industry. This study’s objective was to explore the
Background: The dairy industry has gradually adopted cutting-edge technology in the past few years. This review explores the evolution and interventions of Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML), and Industry 4.0 in the dairy industry through a systematic literature review and bibliometric analysis. Methods: The Web of Science, Scopus, etc. databases were used for bibliometric analysi
Background: Growing concerns about food safety and quality practices require the dairy industry to sustain accountability and transparency. Knowing consumer perceptions and attitudes regarding traceability is critical for developing efficient market-driven approaches. Purpose of the Study: This empirical research explores consumer perceptions of product traceability within the dairy industry. It s
The complex structure of dairy operations requires the adoption of effective traceability mechanisms to ensure transparency, quality, and safety in a sustainable manner. This chapter explores the fundamental aspects of traceability, highlighting its ability to improve transparency, encourage consumer confidence, and ensure regulatory adherence in the dairy context. Integrating technological interv
Savanna ecosystems of the Sahel are heavily affected by climate change, leading to drier subtropical regions. These ecosystems play a fundamental role in food security of the region, so that an improved understanding of how these ecosystems are affected by these weather events is thereby critical.

Digital transformations and industrial automation help improve productivity and operational efficiency at a mass scale without compromising quality and consistency in the food processing industry. This chapter discusses how artificial intelligence (AI) can effectively enhance food hygiene, safety and quality, efficient production and supply chain by efficient decision-making, food waste management
Background: The Indian food industry is undergoing a significant shift towards sustainability, driven by emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI). This study aims to explore the role of AI in promoting sustainable food processing in India, based on data collected from 110 businesses. Methods: Three hypotheses were developed and analyzed to assess the adoption of AI for sustainabi
Agriculture 4.0, the 4th agricultural revolution, aims to adopt digital technologies to make farming more planned, predictive, and productive. The emergence of innovative ecosystems with increased relevance in implementation, integration, and connectivity is evident nowadays. The influence of all these technical innovations on our daily lives is immense. From a technical perspective, this leads us
The agri-food sector is an endless source of expansion for nourishing a vast population, but there is a considerable need to develop high-standard procedures through intelligent and innovative technologies, such as artificial intelligence (AI) and big data. This paper addresses the research concerning AI and big data analytics in the food industry, including machine learning, artificial neural net
Agri-food systems globally experience growing difficulties associated with losses after harvesting, irregular quality, and inefficient utilization of resources, particularly within fruit supply chain (FSC). Given the complicated structure in FSCs, it is critical to guarantee quality at all levels to sustain customer satisfaction and optimize the utilization of resources. Conventional inspections a
This study investigates the influential challenges that startups face within business incubators, specifically from entrepreneur’s perspective. While incubators provide crucial support for early-stage ventures, startups even within these supportive settings often encounter significant challenges that can hinder their growth and success. The study employed an integrated approach of literature revie
Fredrik Værslev’s work, seen recently at the National Museum in Oslo, explores how painting can evoke familiar imagery—sunsets, flags, curtains, windows—without representing them directly. His polyptych Untitled (Sunset 1) suggests the experience of a sunset through horizontal lines and color transitions, rather than literal depiction.His flag series, focused on the Portuguese flag, reflects on th
In spite of the efforts made for canopy water content (CWC) mapping in the community, including vegetation water proxy from microwave-based vegetation optical depth (VOD) as well as optical-based indices, there is still no operational CWC product from optical satellites up to now. To fill this gap, this study proposes a unified algorithm for CWC mapping at both decametric and coarse spatial resoluIn spite of the efforts made for canopy water content (CWC) mapping in the community, including vegetation water proxy from microwave-based vegetation optical depth (VOD) as well as optical-based indices, there is still no operational CWC product from optical satellites up to now.

The envisioning of a Scandinavian Theme Park to be located outside Malmö, close to the anchor of the bridge to Copenhagen, is here discussed in relation to the culture and heritage that was represented in the design proposals. The public presentations of the project were directed by a small group of visionaries who were given space and economic support by the political leadership of Malmö City, inThe envisioning of a Scandinavian Theme Park to be located outside Malmö, close to the anchor of the bridge to Copenhagen, is here discussed in relation to the culture and heritage that was represented in the design proposals.

The impact of amyloid-β (Aβ) accumulation on regional brain atrophy in preclinical Alzheimer’s disease (AD), and its interaction with risk factors like sex and APOE -ε4 carriership, remains unclear. In this study, we examined these associations in a population of older adults without dementia and evaluated the potential of Aβ-PET for risk stratification. We included 1329 participants (56 % female)
Aerosol–cloud interactions (ACIs) are critical in modulating the Earth’s energy balance and water cycle at both regional and global scales. This study examines ACIs over the Indian subcontinent during 2003–2020 using the third edition of the satellite application facility on climate monitoring (CM SAF) cloud, albedo, and surface radiation dataset derived from advanced very high-resolution radiomet
Background Non-aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage (NASAH) accounts for less than 20% of spontaneous subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH). However, its epidemiological characteristics, risk factors and aetiology remain poorly defined. Methods All patients with spontaneous SAH admitted to a neurosurgical centre in Sweden over a 3.5-year period were prospectively enrolled in a database. Epidemiological da
Universities offer a variety of services to students, staff, and affiliates, traditionally managed through physical campus cards. However, increasing mobility requirements and the need for secure, interoperable digital identity solutions call for a modernized approach to service access. This paper introduces eduTAP, an open-source concept and software framework that builds on top of digital wallet
Obesity may exacerbate colorectal cancer (CRC) prognosis, yet previous studies have shown inconsistent findings due to methodological limitations. In this nationwide cohort study, we investigated the association between body mass index (BMI) on CRC recurrence and mortality, while examining the influence of demographic, clinical, and socioeconomic characteristics. From the Danish Colorectal Cancer
In renal cell carcinoma (RCC), a majority of the patients are today diagnosed incidentally due to the frequent use of cross-sectional imaging. This has resulted in the diagnosis of smaller tumours and less advanced tumour stages. Imaging for renal tumour diagnostics and staging aim to differentiate between benign and malignant disease and precise determination of primary tumour extent before decis
