The main objective of the current study is to apply a random forest (RF) data-driven model and prioritization of landslide conditioning factors according to this method and its comparison to a multivariate adaptive regression spline (MARS) model for landslide susceptibility mapping in China. For this purpose, at first, landslide locations were identified by earlier reports, aerial photographs, and

One important tool for water resources management in arid and semi-arid areas is groundwater potential mapping. In this study, four data-mining models including K-nearest neighbor (KNN), linear discriminant analysis (LDA), multivariate adaptive regression splines (MARS), and quadric discriminant analysis (QDA) were used for groundwater potential mapping to get better and more accurate groundwater

Svenska Dagbladet (SvD) kulturdebatt: På Polymarket kan du satsa pengar på såväl vardagliga händelser som vår tids ödesfrågor. Det väcker tankar om hur spel påverkar demokratin.

Retail and consumption stand at a precipice, tethered to the urgency of the planetary crisis and propelled by the accelerating force of digital transformation. At this crossroads, we introduce imagined retail and consumption futures as the organising concept for this special issue on the Future of Retail and Consumption. Drawing on Jens Beckert’s theory of fictional expectations, we argue that the

As climate change alters weather risk, wealth is often treated as a buffer after shocks occur. We show that wealth can shape the economic shock before it arrives by determining which assets households own. In a pre-industrial agrarian society, we link weather to 25,000 household tax records and commodity prices. Households held different production bundles, and the same seasonal weather could rais

Standardized Care Pathway (SCP) for patients presenting with macroscopic haematuria was introduced in Sweden in 2015. In contrast to neighbouring countries, the Swedish model includes all patients with macroscopic haematuria above the age of 50, notwithstanding obvious causes. The aim of this study was to characterize the patients referred within the SCP and the presence of acute cystitis.All pati

This open access book asks whether international economic crime can qualify as an international crime and be prosecuted as such.Taking a four-part approach to the question, it traces the origins of the concept of international economic crime, and draws the line between ordinary economic crimes and economic offences of international significance. To this end, it examines six cases involving the com

While sharing good teaching practice is at the core of most academic developers’ professional roles, little systematic evidence has been collected on this topic so far. This paper investigates if, how and for what specific purposes academic developers collect and share teaching artefacts. We report on an exploratory, survey-based study among academic developers from around the world. Our findings

Utsläpp av lustgas från avloppsreningsverk (ARV) utgör en betydande klimatpåverkan och är starkt kopplade till utökad biologisk kväveavskiljning. Syftet med detta arbete har varit att analysera sambanden mellan processparametrar och lustgasutsläpp vid Klagshamns av-loppsreningsverk samt att undersöka hur datadriven modellering kan användas som stöd för driftoptimering. Inledningsvis genomfördes en

Rå biogas är varm, mättad med vatten och innehåller små mängder av korrosiva spårämnen när den lämnar rötkammaren. I detta skick kan gasen inte levereras till uppgraderingsenheten som tar bort koldioxid, vattenånga och andra föroreningar för att leverera biometan som uppfyller fastställda kvalitetskrav. Den höga fuktigheten kombinerat med reaktiva ämnen leder till okontrollerad kondensation och koRaw biogas leaving an anaerobic digester is warm, saturated with water vapor, and contains small amounts of corrosive trace compounds. In this state, the gas cannot be fed directly to an upgrading system, where carbon dioxide, water vapor and other contaminants are removed to produce biomethane that meets a predefined quality. High humidity combined with reactive species promotes uncontrolled cond

Wildfire management is a complex sociotechnical system where enterprise and strategic level decisions significantly impact operational safety. This research explores iterating Rasmussen’s AcciMap through participatory co-design to enhance sensemaking and systems thinking in the U.S. Forest Service. An evolving series of AcciMap-inspired visualizations made from the Eicks Fire Organizational Report
