Digital Cognitive Companions for Marine Vessels : On the Path Towards Autonomous Ships

As for the automotive industry, industry and academia are making extensive efforts to create autonomous ships. The solutions for this are very technology-intense. Many building blocks, often relying on AI technology, need to work together to create a complete system that is safe and reliable to use. Even when the ships are fully unmanned, humans are still foreseen to guide the ships when unknown s

A focus group interview study of the experience of stress amongst school-aged children in Sweden

The study explored experiences of stress in children aged 10–12. An inductive qualitative design was used. Ten focus group interviews were conducted with Swedish schoolchildren (n = 42) aged 10–12. The interviews were audio-recorded, transcribed verbatim, and analyzed using qualitative content analysis. The study identified one theme—“Body and mind react”—and three subthemes: (1) Friendships matte

Investigating the role of the tibetan plateau in ENSO variability

The role of the Tibetan Plateau (TP) in El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) variability is investigated using coupled model experiments with different topography setups. Removing the TP results in weakened trade winds in the tropical Pacific, an eastward shift of atmospheric convection center, a shallower mixed layer in the equatorial Pacific, and a flattened equatorial thermocline, which leads to

Seasonal dynamics of haemosporidian (Apicomplexa, Haemosporida) parasites in house sparrows Passer domesticus at four European sites : comparison between lineages and the importance of screening methods

Infectious diseases often vary seasonally in a predictable manner, and seasonality may be responsible for geographical differences in prevalence. In temperate regions, vector-borne parasites such as malaria are expected to evolve lower virulence and a time-varying strategy to invest more in transmission when vectors are available. A previous model of seasonal variation of avian malaria described a

Mayr Versus Woese : Akaryotes and Eukaryotes

In 1998, on the brink of a great public effort that by now has delivered the sequences of thousands of genomes and has annotated these genomes by translating tens of thousands of 3D protein domain structures from their coding sequences, Ernst Mayr and Carl Woese engaged in a debate. At issue were the virtues of phenotypic contra genotypic approaches to phylogeny and taxonomy. Though not conclusive

COVID-19 epidemic in Libya

The first case of COVID-19 was identified in Libya on 24/3/2020, and about 2 months later, the number of reported COVID-19 cases started to increase notably. The outbreak was first prominent in the southern region (Sabha) and then spread to the western and eastern parts of Libya. By 24/12/2020, the reported total number of deaths from COVID-19 reached 1415. There seems to be no published data on t
