PurposeDual design for additive manufacturing (DfAM) takes into account both the opportunities and constraints of AM simultaneously, which research shows is more effective than considering them separately. Unlike existing reviews, this paper aims to map DfAM research within the engineering design process, focusing solely on studies adopting dual DfAM. Additionally, it aims to suggest future resear
Therapies derived from substances of human origin (SoHOs) such as organs, cells, and tissues provide life-saving or life-changing treatment for millions of people worldwide each year. However, many people lack timely access to SoHO-based therapies because of insufficient supplies of these exceptional health resources and/or broader barriers in access to healthcare. Despite well-established governm
Convex maps were first introduced by Hillier and Hanson in "The social logic of space", and have since become a standard diagram of space syntax, particularly in the analysis of interior of buildings. Despite of their extensive use, the computer generation of convex maps turns out to be quite difficult. An algorithmic description of the process would afford an objective form of reproducing analysi
While research in the field of technology is surging, research on older adults playing an active role in designing and developing smart home technology (SHT) to enhance usability and adoption is lacking. It is important to co-develop products with potential users to better match their needs and desires. This study aims to generate ideas about SHT that can enhance the use and adoption of SHT that c
Varför kommer inte studenterna på undervisningen?Många lärare på LTH har frågat sig detta eftersom vi ser en tydlig negativ trend: antalet studenter som närvarar på campusförlagda föreläsningar och övningar i grundutbildningen minskar för varje år som går. Eftersom studentnärvaro länge har setts som en nyckelfaktor för studieframgång, kommer det inte som en överraskning att många inom högre utbildThe importance of attendance in higher education has for decades been stressed forstudent performance. However, student absenteeism has in recent years been a growingconcern globally – including in engineering education. Meanwhile, the educationalenvironment has been influenced by the rise of digital learning resources, acceleratedby distance education during COVID-19 pandemic. The changed behavio
Human rights defenders, social leaders, and environmental and indigenous activists fight for political, cultural, social, economic, and environmental rights and often face intimidation and violence as a consequence. In this article, we analyze how the implementation of the peace agreement signed in 2016 between the government of Colombia and the FARC-EP guerrilla group affects environment and huma
Purpose: Oligometastatic gastroesophageal cancer is a clinical entity with no standard treatment recommendation. Treatment with curative intent has recently emerged as an option for selected patients in contrast to the traditional palliative treatment strategy. This prospective study aimed to assess the safety and efficacy of combined systemic and local treatment with curative intent for patients
The utilization of industrial side streams for generating value has always been of interest, but in today's society, with a high focus on the circular economy, it is becoming increasingly important. Lime mud (whose major component is calcium carbonate, CaCO3) is a low-value by-product of the pulp and paper industry that is generated in considerable amounts during the causticizing process. Designin
This work presents a data-driven method for learning low-dimensional time-dependent physics-based surrogate models whose predictions are endowed with uncertainty estimates. We use the operator inference approach to model reduction that poses the problem of learning low-dimensional model terms as a regression of state space data and corresponding time derivatives by minimizing the residual of reduc
Multivariate random sums appear in many scientific fields, most notably in actuarial science, where they model both the number of claims and their sizes. Unfortunately, they pose severe inferential problems. For example, their density function is analytically intractable, in the general case, thus preventing likelihood inference. In this paper, we address the problem by the method of moments, unde
The question of who China’s leftover men will marry is becoming a pressing issue for Beijing. The government’s response will shape the country’s future for decades to come.
SUMMARY: PopGLen is a Snakemake workflow for performing population genomic analyses within a genotype-likelihood framework, integrating steps for raw sequence processing of both historical and modern DNA, quality control, multiple filtering schemes, and population genomic analysis. Currently, the population genomic analyses included allow for estimating linkage disequilibrium, kinship, genetic div
This study is concerned with the shared object manipulation problem in a physical Human-Robot Interaction (pHRI) setting. In such setups, the operator manipulates the object with the help of a robot. In this paper, the operator is assigned with the lead role, and the robot is passively following the forces/torques exerted by the operator. We propose a controller that is free from the well-known tr
Is being informed about a nudge detrimental to its effect? This paper reports results from an experimental online study testing the effects of transparency on the effectiveness of a default nudge while accounting for psychological reactance and response time. Overall and in line with earlier studies, we find no negative effect of transparency on average behaviour. Adding to the previous discussion
There have been some advances in multivariate control charts in recent years. This paper presents a new simultaneous scheme for monitoring both the mean and variability of a multivariate normal process in a single chart, which is developed by improving and modifying another recently proposed scheme. We not only propose a new control scheme but also make it adaptive by varying all control chart par
Purpose: Volumetry of cerebral ventricles is a far more sensitive measure for shunt-induced reduction of ventricular size than traditional 2-dimensional (2D) measures, such as Evans index. However, available ventricle segmentation methods are time-consuming, resulting in limited use in clinical practice. Quantitative MRI (qMRI) obtains objective measurements of physical tissue properties, enabling
The rapid integration of physical systems with cyberspace infrastructure, the so-called Internet of Things, is likely to have a significant effect on how people interact with the physical environment and design information and communication systems. Internet-connected systems are expected to vastly outnumber people on the planet in the near future, leading to grand challenges in software engineeri
