Beyond interactions with parents, young children’s development is influenced by attachment-related interactions with close caregivers in different contexts, such as with teachers at professional childcare centres (“preschool”). The child’s transition from the home environment to being cared for at preschool for the very first time is essential in this respect, providing a natural “window of opport

In recent years, the electrification of buses in public transport systems has increased in both scale and pace. Today, there are several examples of how this transition has been handled in public transport, with partly or fully electrified bus fleets in regular operations in many cities.The research project e(+)bus has focused on how the transition to electric buses has been handled in six Swedish

This work presents a framework for designing self-locking 3D compliant structures using elasto-plastic topology optimization. Design updates are generated using the gradient-based method of moving asymptotes, while the material behavior is modeled under small strain elasto-plasticity. To accurately capture the Bauschinger effect that occur during reversed loading, kinematic hardening is a crucial

Debate over the future of international science takes place in light of two trends that are frequently interpreted as standing in tension with each other. The longer-term pattern shows that science is increasingly an international endeavour, as collaboration across borders has grown. A more recent apparent re-nationalisation of science, however, raises questions over the march of international sci

Aquifer classification plays a pivotal role in understanding groundwater dynamics and informing sustainable water resource management, especially in regions under significant stress from over-extraction. This study presents a novel remote sensing-based methodology for classifying aquifers represented by monitoring wells within the study area. The approach integrates stress-strain analysis, incorpo

Robotic systems often face execution failures due to unexpected obstacles, sensor errors, or environmental changes. Traditional failure recovery methods rely on predefined strategies or human intervention, making them less adaptable. This paper presents a unified failure recovery framework that combines Vision-Language Models (VLMs), a reactive planner, and Behavior Trees (BTs) to enable real-time

The evolution of multicellularity is one of the major evolutionary transitions that has shaped the diversity of life on Earth. Multicellular organisms have arisen numerous times across the tree of life, but explaining why some lineages are multicellular while others are unicellular remains puzzling. In my thesis, we tested how the ecological variables may differentially favour multicellular and un

Improving agricultural sustainability is a global challenge, particularly for China's high-input and low-efficiency cropping systems with environmental tradeoffs. Although national strategies have been implemented to achieve Sustainable Development Goals in agriculture, the potential contributions of crop switching as a promising solution under varying future climate change are still under-explore

Stem cells are unique, undifferentiated cells that have the ability to both replicate themselves and develop into specialized cell types. This dual capability makes them valuable in the development of regenerative medicine. Current development in stem cell research has widened their application in cell therapy, drug discovery, reproductive cloning in animals, and cell models for various diseases.

This contribution investigates the nexus of legal and economic dimensions in integrating sustainability enhancements into the assessment of anticompetitive agreements under Article 101(3) TFEU, particularly in light of the Commission’s recent Guidelines on Horizontal Cooperation. It is demonstrated that whilst the narrative of market failure at large, and the concept of sustainability failure spec

Polycrystalline cubic boron nitride (PcBN) is renowned for its exceptional hardness and thermal stability, making it ideal for extreme machining conditions. Coatings on PcBN tools further enhance performance by extending tool life and improving cutting efficiency. While uncoated PcBN tools already excel in harsh environments, coatings primarily boost durability. Although extensively studied in tur

The Restricted Syndrome Decoding Problem (RSDP) is a variant of the well-known syndrome decoding problem. It has been recently turned into a post-quantum signature scheme named CROSS by Baldi et al.. It is a scheme highlighted for being computationally friendly and providing a compact signature and public key size. This paper investigates an Oracle-based definition of the RSDP that has already pro

Companies increasingly rely on web-based idea management systems (IMS) to source innovative ideas from their employees and external contributors. While existing research emphasizes the critical role of expert feedback in shaping ideators' subsequent contributions, there remains a limited understanding of how various types of feedback—and their interplay—affect future idea success. Grounded in feed

Several studies have evaluated various ML techniques and found promising results in classifying bug reports. However, these studies have used different evaluation designs, making it difficult to compare their results. Furthermore, they have focused primarily on accuracy and did not consider other potentially relevant factors such as generalizability, explainability, and maintenance cost. These two

Mobile stroke units (MSUs), which are specialized ambulances equipped with a brain imaging device and staffed with trained healthcare personnel, have the potential to provide rapid on-site diagnosis and treatment for stroke patients. However, efficient access to prehospital stroke care requires optimizing the placement of MSUs. The MSU allocation problem has been previously solved using a traditio
