Suppose (f,X, μ) is a measure preserving dynamical system and φ: X → R a measurable function. Consider the maximum process Mn := max{X1, ,Xn}, where Xi = φ ○ fi-1 is a time series of observations on the system. Suppose that (un) is a non-decreasing sequence of real numbers, such that μ(X1 > un) → 0. For certain dynamical systems, we obtain a zero- one measure dichotomy for μ(Mn ≤ un i.o.) dependin

Controlling the water level in irrigation channels is important for the efficient management of irrigation and water delivery. In this study, the proportional–integral–derivative (PID) controller was implemented in both the HEC-RAS boundary condition, as an internal model, and MATLAB, as an external model. In the latter, the Hydrologic Engineering Center’s (HEC) River Analysis System (HEC-RAS) mod

To reduce carbon emissions, logistics companies take measures to achieve the climate neutrality target to reach “Green Logistics.” As one of the valuable measures, gradually replacing present fossil fuel vehicles with electric vehicles for parcel delivery and linehaul transportation is scheduled at the terminals of logistics companies. The charging load of a fully electrified vehicle fleet challen

Background: Conflicts with patients and relatives occur frequently in intensive care units (ICUs), driven by factors that are intensified by critical illness and its treatments. A majority of ICU healthcare professionals have experienced verbal and/or physical violence. There is a need to understand how healthcare professionals in ICUs experience and manage this workplace violence. Methods: A qual

Purpose: To explore whether previous participation in clinical studies increases adherence to management guidelines in acute uncomplicated diverticulitis (AUD). Methods: This retrospective cohort study was designed to give a SNAPSHOT of the management of AUD at six hospitals, three of which had participated in the AVOD trial comparing antibiotic versus non-antibiotic treatment of AUD. Patients wit

Background Problematic Internet use is characterized by excessive use of online platforms that can result in social isolation, family problems, psychological distress, and even suicide. Problematic Internet use has been associated with cannabis use disorder, however knowledge on the adult population remains limited. In Quebec, cannabis use has significatively increased since 2018, and it is associ

As technology advances, people become increasingly dependent on technological tools to increase their work efficiency and productivity. Farming methods in the agriculture sector are also undergoing a shift from conventional to technology-driven modern agriculture practices, primarily because of their benefits and potential to mitigate the effects of climate change. However, the adoption rate of cl

During their formation, nascent planetary systems are subject to FU Orionis outbursts that heat a substantial part of the disc. This causes water ice in the affected part of the disc to sublimate as the ice line moves outwards to several to tens of astronomical units. In this paper, we investigate how the subsequent cooling of the disc impacts the particle sizes. We calculate the resulting particl

Vad gör egentligen en plats inbjudande och inkluderande för alla? När känner sig folk hemma på en plats och vad krävs för att ett offentligt rum ska kännas som sitt andra vardagsrum? Det är frågor jag funderat kring och undersökt i mitt kandidatarbete.

This thesis examines the nature and purpose of the Greek sciences ἀριθμητική, λογιστική and γεωμετρία in the texts of Plato. The statements of some other ancient authors are also mentioned, and the relevant modern research is consulted. ἀριθμός is at any instance, as Klein has already noted, ‘a definite number of definite objects’. In Plato’s philosophical ἀριθμητική, ἀριθμός seems to always consi

We developed a panel of 44 nuclear genetic markers and applied this to two hybridizing species of marbled newts in the north (Triturus marmoratus) and the south (Triturus pygmaeus) of the Iberian Peninsula, to investigate pattern and process of interspecific gene flow. The northernmost occurrence of T. pygmaeus genetic material was in a T. marmoratus population north of the Vouga river estuary. Th

The banded newt (genus Ommatotriton) is widely distributed in the Near East (Anatolia, Caucasus and the Levant) – an understudied region from the perspective of phylogeography. The genus is polytypic, but the number of species included and the phylogenetic relationships between them are not settled. We sequenced two mitochondrial and two nuclear DNA markers throughout the range of Ommatotriton. Fo

Optimal recovery of muscle function after proximal nerve injuries remains a complex and challenging problem. After a nerve injury, alterations in the affected muscles lead to atrophy, and later degeneration and replacement by fat-fibrous tissues. At present, several different strategies for the preservation of skeletal muscle have been reported, including various sets of physical exercises, muscle

Previous studies have found that elites differ from the general population not only in terms of their demographic and social composition but also with respect to policy preferences and attitudes. When it comes to civil society organisations, the issue of representation and representativeness of top-level leadership is of particular relevance, since a small number of individuals are expected to act

This paper delves into the challenges impeding the seamless integration of artificial intelligence (AI) within the food supply chain (FSC) and introduces a novel methodological framework that combines the NK Model with the Decision-Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (DEMATEL) technique. Through an exhaustive literature analysis and expert discussions, the research identifies and categorizes si

Within the new generation of structural materials having heterogeneous microarchitectures, one of the top performers is harmonic structure (HS). Herewith, the exciting discovery of self-similarity in their stress–strain behavior is reported. HS materials consist of the 3D skeleton of ultrafine grains (UFG) encompassing coarse-grained (CG) counterparts. Our discovery simplifies the mathematical des

Denna studie syftar till att analysera och utvärdera effekterna av EU:s strategi för hållbara och cirkulära textilier på den svenska textilsektorn, med fokus på producenter av professionella textilier. Genom semistrukturerade intervjuer och tematisk analys har utmaningar och möjligheter relaterade till implementeringen av strategin identifierats. Resultaten visar att implementeringen av styrmedel This study aims to analyze and evaluate the effects of the EU's strategy for sustainable and circular textiles on the Swedish textile sector, with a focus on producers of professional textiles. Through semi-structured interviews and thematic analysis, challenges and opportunities related to the implementation of the strategy have been identified. The results show that the implementation of ins

Till följd av senare tids debatt angående barns försämrade finmotoriska förmågor så har detta arbete som mål att sammankoppla detta med produktdesign och föreslår därmed tre koncept som kan användas för att utveckla barns finmotorik. Detta görs genom att först skapa en underliggande förståelse för finmotorisk förmåga och utveckling genom en explorativ litteraturstudie. Denna del av arbetet klargör
