In this article, we present our edited volume, "New Directions in Digitalisation: Perspectives from EU Competition Law and the Charter of Fundamental Rights." We examine the EU's recent regulatory initiatives, particularly the Digital Markets Act (DMA), and their implications for competition law and fundamental rights. The article provides an analysis of how the DMA aims to address market imbalanc

As late as in the 1970s, the evidence supporting that brain function might be restored by replacing dead cells by transplantation of new healthy cells was scarce in experimental animals and lacking in humans. Repairing the human brain was regarded as completely unrealistic by clinicians. Fifty years later, the situation is very different, and cellular grafting has reached patient application in se

This paper examines the history of entrepreneurship education (EE) in the United Kingdom (UK), exploring different forms and types as they have emerged over time. The study uses a wide range of sources, including both secondary (e.g. published papers, historical records of specific programmes, and enterprise policy documents) and primary accounts that document the lived experience of educators. It

This article addresses the problem of multi-target localization from acoustic time delay measurements in a 3-D underwater environment, taking into account the depth-dependent sound speed of the underwater wave propagation. Specifically, we formulate the problem as an optimal mass transport (OMT) optimization over a grid of potential candidate positions. By exploiting an iterative refinement approa

Repair and replacement strategies using cell replacement or viral gene transfer for neurologic diseases are becoming increasingly efficacious with clinically meaningful benefits in several conditions. An increased understanding of disease processes opens up opportunities for genetic therapies and precision medicine methods aiming at disease modification or repair of lesioned neurologic structures.

A person’s life chances and quality of life depend on social class distinctions, but more so on the region one grew up in. Perspectives of the ‘urban’ or ‘metropolitan’ are a starting point when discussing geographical inequalities vis-à-vis rural, peripheral regions. How disrupting these problems and challenges are on the one (urban) and the other (rural) end of the geographical scope depends on

BACKGROUND: Anastomotic leakage after rectal cancer surgery is linked to reduced survival and higher recurrence rates. While an aggravated inflammatory response may worsen outcomes, few studies have explored the combined effects of leakage and inflammation.METHODS: This is a retrospective multicenter cohort study including patients operated with anterior resection for rectal cancer in Sweden durin

The labor market integration of migrants, focusing on employment and job quality, differs notably across Southern and Continental-Northern European nations, often involving trade-offs. Nonetheless, little is known about whether these diverse migrant inclusion models in European labor markets extend to the combination of employment and overeducation. Additionally, the role of gender in this context

The term “charisma” is recognized as sociology's most successful export to common speech. While sociologists habitually dismiss popular uses of the word, we address its vernacularity head on as a worthy object of study and as a potential resource for conceptual development. Using machine learning, we locate “charisma” within the wider discursive field out of which it arises (and continues to arise

Diet has a pivotal role in shaping the composition, function and diversity of the gut microbiome, with various diets having a profound impact on the stability, functionality and diversity of the microbial community within our gut. Understanding the profound impact of varied diets on the microbiome is crucial, as it will enable us not only to make well-informed dietary decisions for better metaboli

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to examine how the entry of Generation Z in the workforce might affect the future of employer branding. This paper analyzes how employer branding is done currently and the differences between Gen Z and its preceding generations. Managerial suggestions on how to effectively approach Gen Z in terms of employer branding are given. Methodology: In this paper a

BACKGROUND Reusing anaesthesia infusion-set components may reduce the climate impact from plastic waste and discarded medications. Infusion-set contents can be shielded from patient contact by single use of an infusion line fitted with dual antireflux valves, preventing retrograde entry of microorganisms, and eliminating the risk for patient-to-patient cross-contamination. However, infusion-set co

Sound event localization and detection (SELD) systems using audio recordings from a microphone array rely on spatial cues for determining the location of sound events. As a consequence, the localization performance of such systems is to a large extent determined by the quality of the audio features that are used as inputs to the system. We propose a new feature, based on neural generalized cross-c

Many spatial audio applications, including active noise control, virtual reality, and the generation of individual sound zones, rely on an understanding of acoustic propagation. In room acoustics, which is the focus of this thesis,the sound field generated by a point source is typically modelled as a linear time-invariant system, described by its room impulse response (RIR). The RIR captures the r

This paper investigates the use of decentralised control architectures with heterogeneous dynamics for improving performance in large-scale systems. Our focus is on two well-known decentralised approaches; the 'predecessor following' and 'bidirectional' architectures for vehicle platooning. The former, utilising homogeneous control dynamics, is known to face exponential growth in disturbance ampli

It is often argued that anisogamy causes alternative reproductive tactics (ARTs) to be more common in males than females. We challenge this view by pointing out logical flaws in the argument. We then review recent work on the diversity of female ARTs, listing several understudied types such as solitary versus communal breeding and facultative parthenogenesis. We highlight an important difference b

Background and purpose: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a major source of health loss and disability worldwide. Accurate and timely diagnosis of TBI is critical for appropriate treatment and management of the condition. Neuroimaging plays a crucial role in the diagnosis and characterization of TBI. Computed tomography (CT) is the first-line diagnostic imaging modality typically utilized in patient
