Vegetation productivity is a critical indicator of global ecosystem health and is impacted by human activities and climate change. A wide range of optical sensing platforms, from ground-based to airborne and satellite, provide spatially continuous information on terrestrial vegetation status and functioning. As optical Earth observation (EO) data are usually routinely acquired, vegetation can be m
This work advances and demonstrates the utility of a reporting framework for collecting and evaluating annotations of medical images used for training and testing artificial intelligence (AI) models in assisting detection and diagnosis. AI has unique reporting requirements, as shown by the AI extensions to the CONSORT (Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials) and SPIRIT (Standard Protocol Items
A search for events with a dark photon produced in association with a dark Higgs boson via rare decays of the standard model Z boson is presented, using 139 fb^{-1} of sqrt[s]=13 TeV proton-proton collision data recorded by the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider. The dark boson decays into a pair of dark photons, and at least two of the three dark photons must each decay into a pair of
Resilience has in recent decades been introduced as a term describing a new perspective within the domains of disaster management and safety management. Several theoretical interpretations and definitions of the essence of resilience have been proposed, but less work has described how to operationalise resilience and implement the concept within organisations. This case study describes the impleme
Aquaporins (AQPs), membrane proteins responsible for facilitating water transport, found in plant membrane vesicles (MV), have been related to the functionality and stability of MV. We focused on AQPs obtained from broccoli, as they show potential for biotechnological applications. To gain further insight into the role of AQPs in MV, we describe the heterologous overexpression of two broccoli AQPs
Traditionally, Ni-rich-layered oxide cathodes for lithium-ion batteries are produced utilizing N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP)-processed casting. However, to avoid using the reprotoxic solvent NMP, aqueous processing becomes one of the options. In this study, H2O-processed LiNi0.8Mn0.1Co0.1O2 (NMC811) electrodes have been prepared to compare with the NMP-processed counterparts to investigate the degr
This study analyzes the current state of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies for addressing and mitigating climate change in the manufacturing sector and provides an outlook on future developments. The research is grounded in the concept of general-purpose technologies, motivated by a still limited understanding of innovation patterns for this application context. To this end, we focus on gl
Background/Objectives: Extensive research has emphasised the persistent challenges and failures in providing hospitalised patients with fundamental evidence-based nursing care, often resulting in grave consequences for patient safety. Recommendations from implementation research indicate that a tailored theory- and research-based implementation strategy targeting contextual determinants can optim
The wide spread of on-line social networks poses new challenges in information environment and cybersecurity. A key issue is detecting stubborn behaviors to identify leaders and influencers for marketing purposes, or extremists and automatic bots as potential threats. Existing literature typically relies on known network topology and extensive centrality measures computation. However, the size of
Navigation performance in urban and large-scale built-up spaces (e.g. airports, train-stations, hospitals) depends on gradual environmental perception during locomotion, and spatial knowledge acquisition, update/integration at different times along a path. Rotational locomotion is regularly involved in everyday navigation; this, combined with the fact that people cannot perceive the whole of a lar
Family disaster planning and preparation demands proactive acknowledgment and accommodation of individuals with disabilities. This study, based on interviews with families including members with disabilities, uncovers insights on information gaps, adaptive strategies, technology use, and support networks. Contributing to disaster and disability studies, resilience, and crisis planning, it highligh

Denna artikel analyserar Jessica Schiefauers spekulativa roman Bärarna (2020) och diskuterar konsekvenserna av att bygga ett samhälle utifrån smittoprevention. Romanen skildrar en framtid där en rabiesliknande sjukdom hotat att utplåna mänskligheten. I denna dystopi har män, som spridare av smittan, och kvinnor separerats för att förhindra återkomsten av sjukdomen. Artikeln undersöker hur romanen This article analyses Jessica Schiefauer’s speculative novel Bärarna (2020), and examines the consequences of building a society based on disease pre-vention. The novel depicts a future where a rabies-like disease has nearly wiped out humanity. In this dystopia, men, as carriers of the disease, are separated from women to prevent the resurgence of the illness. The article
This report summarises the results from an interview and literature study carried out to identify key individual qualities for collective problem-solving in a fire and rescue service context. The report contributes to the research project FIRE21 (Fire and Rescue Services in the 21st Century) and is part of a work package looking into such individual qualities through using different methods and ma
Background: The Organ Care System and Non-ischemic Heart Preservation methods have emerged as significant advancements in heart transplantation, designed to mitigate ischemic injury and extend preservation times. However, their high costs and logistical complexities necessitate strategic utilization. Methods: We evaluated data from 83,761 heart transplants registered in the International Society f
The power take-off (PTO) system and control laws for wave energy converters (WECs) are crucial for system performance. Determining optimal PTO parameters based on different sea states is key for formulating control laws, identifying optimal WEC locations, and optimizing wave-to-wire performance. This study focuses on an oscillating water column (OWC) type WEC developed by Waves4Power using a buoy
Existing datasets for autonomous driving (AD) often lack diversity and long-range capabilities, focusing instead on 360° perception and temporal reasoning. To address this gap, we introduce Zenseact Open Dataset (ZOD), a large- scale and diverse multimodal dataset collected over two years in various European countries, covering an area 9×that of existing datasets. ZOD boasts the highest range and
