Integrating multi-modal patient data to support personalized medicine has gained a lot of interest across different health domains over the past decade. Addressing this challenge requires the development and implementation of an informed, evidence-based AI-driven decision-support system continuously maintained and updated to align with the latest clinical guidelines. A key challenge to ensure its
Electrifying heavy-duty vehicles at large sites requires charging infrastructure designs that balance cost and robustness. This article quantitatively compares six different charging infrastructures, spanning centralized vs. decentralized layouts and AC vs. DC distribution through a case study of a 50-charger site (≈15 MW total). Capital costs (cables, converters, transformers) are modeled, and e
The neoliberal turn in the cultural and creative industries has led to two distinct bodies of work. Global North scholars focus on the tension between the emphasis on the creative industries as an engine of growth and the unequal access to the means of cultural production and consumption that neoliberalism presents. Global South scholars face a different reality; the increasing inability of govern
Background and ObjectivesThe number of older adults living alone is increasing globally, often with varied risks and resilience capacities. Digital technologies may help mitigate these risks, but their potential remains poorly understood. This review maps evidence on digital technologies in social and health care interventions for older adults living alone, focusing on technology types, functions,
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
Studies showing that large-scale public health interventions in early life have lastingconsequences are still scarce and rarely disclose the mechanisms. In 1931–1946, the Swedishstate reformed the childbirth institutional system that led to the openings of the new maternitywards and to the gradual decline in home deliveries assisted by midwives. Maternity wardsoffered improved conditions for a mot
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
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
The study of economic development in African countries is facing a basic problem of lack of reliable data and statistics. These problems of economic data are best addressed under three main categories: design, capacity, and politics. The focus is on gross domestic product (GDP), but the relevance goes beyond GDP statistics because the aggregate of GDP requires economic data on all sectors of the e
The Shortest Vector Problem (SVP) is one of the mathematical foundations of lattice based cryptography. Lattice sieve algorithms are amongst the foremost methods of solving SVP. The asymptotically fastest known classical and quantum sieves solve SVP in a $d$-dimensional lattice in $2^{\const d + \smallo(d)}$ time steps with $2^{\const' d + \smallo(d)}$ memory for constants $c, c'$. In this work, w
