The Application of Tree-Based Algorithms on Classifying Shunting Yard Departure Status

Shunting yards are one of the main areas impacting the reliability of rail freight networks, and delayed departures from shunting yards can further also affect the punctuality of mixed-traffic networks. Methods for automatic detection of departures, which are likely to be delayed, can therefore contribute towards increasing the reliability and punctuality of both freight and passenger services. In

Indian Federalism and Violence Against Women: A Complex Web of Power Relationships

In 2012, the ‘Delhi rape’ brought renewed attention to the long-standing problem of violence against women (VAW) in India, unraveling entrenched structures of oppression against women. However, despite the introduction of the 2013 Rape Law, women still face high levels of sexual violence. If much has been written on VAW in India and the complexity of Indian federalism, very few studies engage with

Streptococcus pyogenes Forms Serotype- and Local Environment-Dependent Interspecies Protein Complexes

Streptococcus pyogenes is known to cause both mucosal and systemic infections in humans. In this study, we used a combination of quantitative and structural mass spectrometry techniques to determine the composition and structure of the interaction network formed between human plasma proteins and the surfaces of different S. pyogenes serotypes. Quantitative network analysis revealed that S. pyogene

The Meridian S01E02 : Impact Craters on Culture Night

Have you ever wondered what astronomers do?The Lund Culture Night is being celebrated during IAUs 100 Hours of Astronomy, and to celebrate this we release a new episode of our podcast; The Meridian. In this second episode of the podcast Nic and Rebecca - a couple of curious and energetic astronomy PhD students - invite Josefin Martell to the mic and chat to him about impact craters. Thereafter theIn this second episode of the podcast Nic and Rebecca invite Josefin Martell to the mic and chat to her about Impact Craters. Thereafter they take a closer look at one of their favourite astronomical objects: Dimidium.

Understanding Supply Chain Visibility Through Experts’ Perspective : A Delphi Based Approach

Visibility in production logistics and across the supply chain has become a key concern for organizations. Its need has been further emphasized due to the current COVID 19 crisis. Organizations find it challenging to prepare the internal logistics and supply chain, and quickly respond to such unexpected events, due to low visibility. Against this backdrop, the paper, which is a work-in-progress, s

Developing shared languages. The fundamentals of mutual learning and problem solving in transdisciplinary collaboration

This issue of the AILA Review focuses on transdisciplinarity as the key to developing shared languages in and across domains and professional settings. The relationship and collaboration between researchers and practitioners have long been discussed within and across applied sciences and theoretical disciplines, mainly in the framework of transdisciplinarity (see AILA Review 31, 2018, for a recent

Universities and start-up creation by Ph.D. graduates : the role of scientific and social capital of academic laboratories

This paper investigates how the characteristics of university laboratories influence the propensity of Ph.D. students to entrepreneurship, and thus, contribute to the transfer of academic knowledge to society. As determinants of Ph.D. entrepreneurship, we focus on the lab scientific and social capital as well as on the business experience that Ph.D. students acquire during their training period. T

Pedagogical Translanguaging : Theoretical, Methodological and Empirical Perspectives

With increasing mobility of people across the world, there is a pressing need to develop evidence-based teaching practices that lead to high-quality education, which serves the needs of inclusive societies and social and epistemic justice. This book presents cutting-edge qualitative case-study research across a range of educational contexts, research-method contributions and theory-oriented chapte

Modern Neutron Detectors with Fast Timing Resolution

Thermal neutrons are a vital imaging modality with wide ranging applications, exemplified by worldwide endeavours to construct and operate the next generation of accelerator-driven neutron sources with significantly increased neutron flux and, hence, brightness and image contrast. In addition, a high spatial resolution and information about the neutron energy is often desired. The latter is common

Epidemiology, practice of ventilation and outcome for patients at increased risk of postoperative pulmonary complications: LAS VEGAS - an observational study in 29 countries

BACKGROUND Limited information exists about the epidemiology and outcome of surgical patients at increased risk of postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs), and how intraoperative ventilation was managed in these patients. OBJECTIVES To determine the incidence of surgical patients at increased risk of PPCs, and to compare the intraoperative ventilation management and postoperative outcomes w

Unraveling the Ultrafast Hot Electron Dynamics in Semiconductor Nanowires

Hot electron relaxation and transport in nanostructures involve a multitude of ultrafast processes whose interplay and relative importance are still not fully understood, but which are relevant for future applications in areas such as photocatalysis and optoelectronics. To unravel these processes, their dynamics in both time and space must be studied with high spatiotemporal resolution in structur

Organoid technology for personalized pancreatic cancer therapy

Background: Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma has the lowest survival rate among all major cancers and is the third leading cause of cancer-related mortality. The stagnant survival statistics and dismal response rates to current therapeutics highlight the need for more efficient preclinical models. Patient-derived organoids (PDOs) offer new possibilities as powerful preclinical models able to accou
