When applied to vertebrate vocalizations, source-filter theory, initially developed for human speech, has revolutionized our understanding of animal communication, resulting in major insights into the form and function of animal sounds. However, animal calls and human nonverbal vocalizations can differ qualitatively from human speech, often having more chaotic and higher-frequency sources, making
In recent years, a growing interest in sustainable tourism and outdoor recreation has emerged in Sweden and globally. While a positive development for many reasons, it coincides with other shifting patterns in recreational nature use, influenced by climate change, social media, and experimental interventions in natural areas. These developments bring opportunities to broaden participation, but als
This article is based on the author's involvement in preparing a Draft Statute for a future World Court of Human Rights. The proposal seeks to modify the traditional vertical structure of human rights norms by introducing a mechanism for adjudicating claims about human rights violations by actors other than states, including by international organizations (IO) or transnational corporations (TNC).
Objective: To provide a protocol for a scoping review aimed to map, identify, analyze and describe studies on women and their infants receiving Midwifery Continuity of Care in the Nordic countries. AbstractIntroduction: Midwifery Continuity of Care (MCoC) throughout pregnancy, birth, and the postnatal period has been associated with improved outcomes and higher satisfaction of care among women. In
Objectives: This is a protocol for a Cochrane Review (intervention). The objectives are as follows:. To assess the benefits and harms of individualized developmental care interventions for promoting development and preventing morbidity in preterm infants.
Chemical characterization of the Galactic center is essential for understanding its formation and structural evolution. Trends of alpha (α) elements, such as magnesium, silicon, and calcium, serve as powerful diagnostic tools, offering insights into star formation rates and gas-infall history. However, high extinction has previously hindered such studies. In this study, we present a detailed chemi
Despite advancements in multiple myeloma treatment, prognostic variability persists. We investigated the impact of income and education on treatment and survival in a country with publicly funded healthcare. We analysed data from the Swedish Myeloma Registry (2008–2021) linked to national registers. Cox models assessed survival, adjusting for demographics and comorbidities. Treatment patterns were
In this paper, we develop an uncertainty-aware decision-making and motion-planning method for an autonomous ego vehicle in forced merging scenarios, considering the motion uncertainty of surrounding vehicles. The method dynamically captures the uncertainty of surrounding vehicles by online estimation of their acceleration bounds, enabling a reactive but rapid understanding of the uncertainty chara
Planning and navigation in real-time traffic is challenging, since the driving environment (e.g., road network and infrastructure) is complex and the accurate prediction of surrounding vehicles is hard. To address this, this paper proposes an environment and uncertainty-aware robust motion-planning strategy. The method achieves environment awareness by considering road-geometry constraints in the
Safe motion planning for robotic systems in dynamic environments is nontrivial in the presence of uncertain obstacles, where estimation of obstacle uncertainties is crucial in predicting future motions of dynamic obstacles. The worst case characterization gives a conservative uncertainty prediction and may result in infeasible motion planning for the ego robotic system. In this article, an efficie
