Many cities in the Global South are facing challenges as they increasingly experience extreme weather events, which disproportionately affect the urban poor. Focussing on severe heat and surface water flooding, this paper explores how these extreme weather events impact on infrastructure provision and livelihoods in low-income urban communities in Ghana. Climate series, including temperature data
This paper presents a two-phase heuristic methodology aimed at the reconfiguration of a radial distribution network with the objective of minimizing the computational time. In the preliminary phase of the operation, all network switches are in a closed state, and it is proposed that a subsequent switch opening methodology be employed to achieve a configuration that approximates optimal radial char
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Given the risk of a progression, or an undiagnosed endometrial cancer (EC), the treatment of choice is hysterectomy in women with endometrial intraepithelial neoplasia (EIN). The risk of metastatic disease and whether sentinel node (SLN) biopsy should be performed remains unclear. The primary aim of this prospective study was to determine the overall incidence of concurrent
Scholars have shown that lifestyle change is pivotal for any effective climate-mitigation scenario. But what lifestyle changes are needed and how can they be enabled and mainstreamed? This is the question pursued by the EU 1.5° Lifestyles project, the results of which the article summarizes and synthesizes. The project integrated quantitative and qualitative methods, ranging from input-output anal
Background: Effectively identifying individuals exposed to drug underuse, overuse and potentially inappropriate medication (PIM) in older adults is essential for minimizing preventable drug-related harms. Methods: We analysed data from 54,296 individuals aged 60–74 years from the German National Cohort (NAKO). We assessed the frequency of PIM, untreated conditions (medication and vaccination under
This paper sets out to extend the epistemic semantics presented in Dahl (2023) tomodal and conditional logics. To do so, I extend the notion of belief expansion sys-tems, inspired by the AGM-model of belief change, to include belief revision, anduse the resulting structures as models for both conditional and modal logic. In thefirst case, this applies the well-known approach to conditionals initia
Promoting Inclusion and Justice in University Teaching offers a theoretical and practical contribution to ongoing debates concerning why and how we need to expand the goals of education in an increasingly diverse academia to enhance inclusivity and equity. It integrates a wide range of well-designed teaching activities grounded in the principles of transformative pedagogy into university settings
Foraminifera are single-celled eukaryotes; most possess a perforated calcite test (shell) that fossilizes in marine sediments. During calcification, morphological features reflect environmental conditions, particularly, foraminiferal porosity is a promising proxy for reconstructing past ocean oxygenation.However, traditional analysis relies on averages from small parts of the shell in 2D slices du
This thesis has two aims. One is to present a definition and demarcation of the much used but seldom defined term weak state. The thesis identifies a connection between sovereignty and state weakness, and suggests lack of so called domestic sovereignty as a demarcated definition of the term. This implies a focus on domestic peace and institutional stability rather than lack of autonomy, recognitio
This master’s thesis is a comparative study between a structural model and a simulation based model for predicting default-probabilities. The structural model used is the KMV model and the simulation based is a new model called Zero-Price Probability. The main focus is on the new simulation based approach rather than the older established models. The comparison is done to get an implicit idea of t
Title: Disability Free Lifetime Expectancy for men and women in Skåne using Sullivan’s Method. Author: Daniel Åström Supervisors: Jan Lanke and Juan Merlo Aim: The aim of the thesis is to investigate if differences in DFLE between genders and between 2000 and 2004 can be detected in Region Skåne Method: Using data from Region Skåne’s Folkhälsoenkät new weights for the data set have been computed a
Self-care interventions for sexual and reproductive health (SRH), including HIV self-testing, self-injected contraception and self-managed abortion, offer promising pathways to advance universal health coverage, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. While often framed as cost-saving measures, this paper argues that self-care should be understood as a strategic investment in health syst
The structural integration of energy storage could play a pivotal role in designing more efficient, lightweight systems such as electric transport, internet of things (IoT) devices and autonomous systems. The current work focuses on the fabrication and characterization of novel multifunctional composites for sodium-ion structural batteries. A PEO-PVP polymer matrix with added InAs nanowires and gl
Stabell and Fjeldstad (1998) proposed three value configurations; the value shop, the value chain and the value network based on Thompson’s (1967) three technologies as a typology. However, that Thompson’s technologies constitute a typology has been criticized (cf Barbini and Neri, 2017). Also, research has highlighted increased shifts in value configurations and hybrid forms. Thus, the question a
The increasing use of digital tools in archaeology has vastly expanded our capacity to document and visualise the past, yet the reasoning that connects evidence to interpretation often remains implicit or undocumented. This paper addresses that gapby integrating Inference to the Best Explanation (IBE)—a philosophical model of hypothesis evaluation—into the Archaeological Interactive Report (AIR),
