The rapid advancement of imaging technologies in pathology has ushered in an era of data-intensive diagnostic workflows, generating large volumes of data that demand sophisticated segmentation and compression techniques. Chemical imaging approaches offer an all-digital objective approach to pathological analysis, though image segmentation is required for efficient computation. Convolutional autoen

Formal models for the safety validation of autonomous vehicles have become increasingly important. To this end, we present a safety framework for longitudinal automated driving. This framework enables the calculation of minimum safe inter-vehicular distances for arbitrary ego vehicle control policies in a computationally efficient manner. We use this framework to enhance and generalize the Respons

’Screen time’ has become a catch-all concept for debates on people’s dependence of digital devices in general, and children’s use of media technology in particular, almost exclusively focusing on negative consequences. While children and young people more often than not are at the center of debates around screen time, parents and their everyday practices are held accountable for monitoring, regula

Inosine monophosphate dehydrogenase (IMPDH) and guanosine monophosphate reductase (GMPR) belong to the same structural family, share a common set of catalytic residues and bind the same ligands. The structural and mechanistic features that determine reaction outcome in the IMPDH and GMPR family have not been identified. Here we show that the GMPR reaction uses the same intermediate E-XMP* as IMPDH

In-store smart technology is rapidly transforming service delivery and value creation in the retail sector. However, despite these advances, academic acumen of customers' perceived value of their smart service interactions remains tenuous, exposing an important omission in extant literature. Addressing this gap, we conceptualize, operationalize, and validate smart service value (SSV) in the retail

This issue marks the start of my term as department editor for the “Requirements” column. I very much look forward to exploring contemporary aspects of requirements and requirements engineering (RE) in the coming years! As an institute researcher with RISE, I primarily work in strictly regulated domains, in which requirements are cornerstones in the development activities. Please check my introduc

Background: General pathophysiological mechanisms regarding associations between fluid administration and intra-abdominal hypertension (IAH) are evident, but specific effects of type, amount, and timing of fluids are less clear. Objectives: This review aims to summarize current knowledge on associations between fluid administration and intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) and fluid management in patient

The aim of the current study was to evaluate the presence of airborne virus, specifically SARS-CoV-2, in infection ward corridors, and the size distribution of the virus-containing aerosols. Associations between virus presence and relative humidity and/or temperature in the facilities was also investigated.

Formal models for the safety validation of autonomous vehicles have become increasingly important. To this end, we present a safety framework for longitudinal automated driving. This framework allows calculating minimum safe inter-vehicular distances for arbitrary ego vehicle control policies. We use this framework to enhance the Responsibility-Sensitive Safety (RSS) model and models based on it,

A product code with single parity-check component codes can be described via the tools of a multi-kernel polar code, where the rows of the generator matrix are chosen according to the constraints imposed by the product code construction. Following this observation, successive cancellation decoding of such codes is introduced. In particular, the error probability of single parity-check product code

Focusing on the debates on ‘due impartiality’ provided to far-right leaders in Swedish media, this article uses a Lacanian approach to address the relationship between the practices of normalisation of far-right discourses and fantasies, and the evolution of emotional governance at the interstice of old (i.e. traditional) and new (e.g. social media) media. Emotional governance refers to the everyd

Background: An increasing amount of research indicates that positive psychological factors, such as optimism, might be beneficial for cardiovascular health. However, most studies have focused on cardiovascular events. The present study aimed to investigate associations between optimism and subclinical outcomes related to cardiovascular health. Methods: This cross-sectional study used data from SCA

This article presents a critical edition and analysis of a short 16th-century medical treatise entitled Fī bayān aḥwāl al-qaḥwa wa-ḫāṣṣiyyatihā wa-manāfiʿihā, attributed to the Ottoman court physician Muḥammad Badr al-Dīn al-Qūṣūnī. The base manuscript, preserved in Leiden University Libraries as Or. 945:16 (fol. 58r), is collated against two later versions: Ragıb Paşa, K. No. 1482, ff. 56 r–56 v,

The History of Education as History of Knowledge brings together international scholars to explore how the emerging field of the history of knowledge can enrich the well-established history of education. While recent research in the history of knowledge has examined actors, practices, and institutions of knowledge, this volume is the first to focus systematically on sources and methodologies withi

This chapter, based on over a decade of socio-legal research, details how legal inequality in Myanmar was built over decades, through both statutory weakening of personal status law and bureaucratic hurdles regarding everyday implementation and practice. The practice of personal status laws of minority communities is also impacted by restricted access to Myanmar citizenship following the introduct

The rapid development of China's outbound tourism in European countries is receiving more and more attention from the European tourism industry. The improvements of the national economy, the characteristics of Chinese culture and the strengthening of the economic and cultural bonds between China and European Union countries have all played roles in its growth. This master thesis summarizes Chi

This article explores middle managers in the professions from their position in the sandwiched middle. Based upon interviews with senior academics in management roles and their subordinates in UK business schools, we investigate this experienced middle through a metaphor that informs one particular subject position: to be an umbrella carrier. This position entails protecting subordinates from what
