In the recent few years, covert supply chain prevention (CSCP) in the maritime logistics is gaining lot of importance. It refers to hidden and clandestine movement of goods and services using water ways. Therefore, the presented research aims to design multidimensional approaches to assess anticipated risks and develop risk mitigation strategies comprising of technological innovations, regulatory

Early Music makes fundamental contributions to society and cultural identity, from mass media to tourist sites, from annual festivals to national heritage projects. Yet Early Music research often has difficulty conforming to institutional and policy-based categories and definitions at a European level, typically being divided between two major policy domains: science & research, represented by

Reliable building performance management involves reducing energy use and peak demand while maintaining indoor comfort and operational safety. Achieving these objectives requires effective strategies across the building life cycle, from early-stage design to operation. However, the availability, quality, and structure of building data vary considerably between life cycle stages. Buildings in opera

This study introduces a reinforcement-learning-based sequential sampling framework for adaptive control charts. Traditional adaptive charts improve monitoring efficiency by adjusting sampling effort according to the current chart state, but they require manually specified decision regions and region-to-action assignments. This becomes difficult when many sample-size and sampling-interval combinati

We develop a continuous-time framework in which the risk associated with leverage is parameterized by a dimensionless drawdown-risk index relative to an arbitrary reference asset. We further show that the growth-optimal Kelly portfolio is the unique portfolio whose relative drawdown-risk index is invariant to the reference asset. Additionally, we characterize when portfolios have equal relative dr

Ovarian cancer remains a major clinical challenge due to its pronounced heterogeneity and the high incidence of chemoresistance and metastatic dissemination. Despite advances in molecular profiling, the functional mechanisms driving these processes remain incompletely understood, limiting the development of effective targeted therapies. Addressing this gap requires approaches that capture the dyna

ULF – Utbildning, Lärande och Forskning – är ett nationellt initiativ som syftar till att stärka skolans vetenskapliga grund genom långsiktig samverkan mellan lärosäten och skolhuvudmän. Målet är att utveckla hållbara strukturer för praktiknära forskning som utgår från skolans behov och samtidigt stärker lärarutbildningens forskningsanknytning och professionens kunskapsutveckling.Under försöksperi

Purpose: To longitudinally assess fatigue, physical and daily activity, and work ability 7 years post therapy in a radiotherapy-treated cohort, and to compare the long-term data with matched non-cancer referents from the general population. Methods: A questionnaire assessed fatigue, concurrent symptoms, and physical and daily activity including work ability during radiotherapy and at a 7-year foll

This paper presents a control/scheduling co-design framework that integrates 5G Configured Grant (CG) scheduling with networked control systems (NCS) design. The objective is to minimize the hyperperiod induced by multiple, application-specific sampling periods, which determines the schedule table size and memory footprint at the base station, subject to control quality and wireless resource limit

Introduction: Opioid maintenance treatment is the dominant treatment for treating opioid dependence. The treatment is individualised and combines pharmaceuticals with psychosocial support. Aim: This study aimed to increase the understanding of the pathway to recovery, by illustrating the life course of patients within OMT before and after starting treatment using time-geographic life charts. Metho

Objective: Children born extremely preterm (EPT) vary greatly regarding academic outcomes, underscoring the need to investigate subgroups in large representative samples. This study aimed to (1) examine academic outcomes in EPT children versus full-term controls and (2) examine the role of maternal education, child sex, maternal origin, cognitive ability and the presence of attention deficit hyper

Purpose: To explore how the Every Day Throughout Life (EDTL) model supports primary care transformation by enabling residents, families, staff, and volunteers to navigate socialparticipation, joy, and engagement in nursing homes, thereby enhancing wellbeing and quality oflife.Context: Norwegian nursing homes are integral to municipal primary care systems, providinground-the-clock services for peop

Although cross-sector collaborations drive innovation, organizational policies as legitimation signals attracting such collaborations remain unexplored. This study examines the mediating role of environmental partnerships between organizational policies and environmental innovation. Using panel data (2014–2024) comprising 3372 firm-year observations from 454 consumer sector firms across 45 countri

Importance Cold knife conization (CKC) and the loop electrosurgical excision procedure (LEEP) are standard treatments for cervical intraepithelial neoplasia and carcinoma in situ. However, the comparative long-term effectiveness of these procedures in promoting human papillomavirus (HPV) clearance and preventing recurrent cervical lesions remains uncertain. Objective To compare the long-term incid

Self-supervised pre-training based on next-token prediction has enabled large language models to capture the underlying structure of text, and has led to unprecedented performance on a large array of tasks when applied at scale. Similarly, autonomous driving generates vast amounts of spatiotemporal data, alluding to the possibility of harnessing scale to learn the underlying geometric and semantic

Elevated atmospheric CO2 concentration (eCO2) is expected to substantially exacerbate Compound Drought and Heatwave (CDHW) events, posing increasing risks to ecosystems and human society. However, the role of land-atmosphere interactions in regulating CDHW events under eCO2 remains poorly understood. Here we investigated the contribution of land-atmosphere interactions to the global intensificatio
