National Pre-Authorisation Schemes and the EU's Demands for Objectivity Safeguards – Allowing Policy Discretion while Streamlining Administrative Process

The chapter focuses on how process is reviewed in the general framework of EU legal analysis applicable to national pre-authorisation schemes. By examining the model of judicial review developed by the Court of Justice in this regard, I hope to enrich the discussion on what process federalism within the Union can look like and how it may function. After some brief explanations regarding the charac

Healthy ageing for older adult people with intellectual disability : a scoping review

BACKGROUND: The increasing longevity of people with intellectual disability creates a need for a healthy-ageing perspective, translated into evidence-based interventions in this multi-morbidity group. Accordingly, the aim of this scoping review was to identify, summarise and analyse the empirical research on healthy ageing in older adults with intellectual disability.METHODS: This review was based

Excitement is not the only experience

Expectations of what constitutes a positive customer experience have changed over time. Developments in technology and digital services have enabled new kinds of customer experience. As have new store formats and diversified retail offerings. Regardless of the form it has taken, customer experience has always been of paramount importance to retail managers. And it continues to be so. Over 50% of p

Messy customer journey self-mapping

The new retail landscape is complex. New types of touchpoints and new store formats mean messy, non-linear customer journeys with multiple online and offline touchpoints. If we want to understand these journeys, and what value customers derive from new and innovative touchpoints, we must use methods that allow them to explain their own complex customer journeys in all their messy glory!

Long term inguinal pain comparing TEP to Lichtenstein repair : the TEPLICH RCT 8 years follow-up

Purpose: To investigate long-term chronic postoperative inguinal pain (CPIP), QoL and recurrence in patients with a primary inguinal hernia comparing TEP to Lichtenstein. Material and methods: A questionnaire-based follow-up containing the Inguinal Pain Questionnaire (IPQ), the Cunningham Pain Scale and SF-36 was done 8 years after the TEPLICH RCT. The main objective was non-ignorable pain last we

Home, Sweet Home: Returns to Returning in the Age of Mass Migration

Despite significant circular migration flows historically and today, their economic impacts remain understudied. Using data on predominantly rural Swedish migrants who returned from the US during the Age of Mass Migration we estimate returns to temporary migration in terms of wealth, income, demographic and social outcomes. We find substantial wealth effects but limited evidence of increased labor

The Aftermath of the February Flood of 1825 : Social and Demographic Change in the Krummhörn Region, East Frisia

In February 1825, the dikes broke after a spring tide in the Krummhörn region in East Frisia, Germany, causing a severe disaster. Although the flood did not claim many victims, substantial damage was done to the farmland, and the economic crisis that followed permanently changed the social structure in the Krummhörn. We study family reconstitutions of the region linked to information about socioec

Satellite Observations Reveal Widespread Color Variations in Global Lakes Since the 1980s

The color of lakes is an essential indicator of the local ecological state, and the corresponding changes can reflect the physical and biochemical processes of lakes. However, worldwide changes in lake color and their drivers remain largely unknown. Here, we analyze the long-term color distributions and changes of 67,579 lakes worldwide from 1984 to 2021 by utilizing 32 million consistent satellit

Large eddy simulations of turbulent premixed bluff body flames operated with ethanol, n-heptane, and jet fuels

Large Eddy Simulations (LES) are carried out targeting an unconfined premixed bluff body burner operated with ethanol, n-heptane, Jet A, and a Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) labeled C1. The purpose is to validate the chosen simulation methodology for these fuels, which have not been simulated in the targeted case before, and to provide new information about how they burn and stabilize. The combus

Back to Business? Business-Owners and Their Responses to COVID-19 Policies in a Comparative Perspective

While necessary to protect human lives, many of the measures implemented by governments to contain the COVID-19 pandemic imposed significant costs on the population. Drawing on an original representative survey fielded during the first wave of COVID-19 in April–June 2020 in Sweden and Denmark, we examine how members of different occupational groups evaluated their government's pandemic strategies.

Enhancing Pan evaporation predictions : Accuracy and uncertainty in hybrid machine learning models

Pan Evaporation (Ep) plays a pivotal role in water resource management, particularly in arid and semi-arid regions. This study assesses the predictive performance of a comprehensive range of advanced machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) algorithms for Ep prediction using readily available environmental sensing data. The models investigated include M5 Prime (M5P), M5Rule (M5R), Kstar, as we
