Rwanda’s Nyabarongo catchment frequently experiences floods, highlighting the need for effective flood susceptibility analysis and management. This study mapped flood susceptibility in the catchment using the random forest (RF), support vector machine (SVM), eXtreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost), SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP) models, as well as various conditioning factors including elevation

This article delves into the challenges of conducting activist research with communities labelled as ‘marginalised’ within the confines of neoliberal academia. Through autoethnography and feminist decolonial praxis, we draw from our experiences with Lüvo, a feminist antiracist collective, to illustrate how we navigate these obstacles and integrate our scholarly endeavours with transformative activ

Located in one of the world’s most arid regions and heavily reliant on food imports, Qatar’s food system faces significant vulnerabilities due to climate-induced impacts and resource constraints. This chapter adopts a mixed-methods approach to explore stakeholders’ perspectives on food system challenges and pathways for transformation toward greater climate resilience. First, we qualitatively anal

Stuttering is a disorder characterized by transient disruptions in speech motor production. This article is focused on the characteristics of stuttering and the immediate vocal tract mechanisms resulting in stuttered speech disruptions. A range of observations from an initial series of studies on the motor characteristics of stuttering events in adults is presented, combined with a narrative revie

The browning of freshwater ecosystems is increasingly evident in temperate and northern regions, with widespread ramifications for lake physics, chemistry, and biology. Contrasting results on how freshwater browning may impact fish have been reported, but there has been no comprehensive examination of how browning may cause cascading effects on individual- to population- to community-level traits

BACKGROUND: The introduction of artificial intelligence (AI) in health care holds great promise, offering the potential to alleviate physicians' workloads and allocate more time for patient interactions. After the emergence of large language models (LLMs), interest in AI has surged in the health care sector, including within primary care. However, patients have expressed concerns about the ethical

A search for heavy Majorana neutrinos in scattering of same-sign W boson pairs in proton–proton collisions at s=13 TeV at the LHC is reported. The dataset used corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 140 fb−1, collected with the ATLAS detector during 2015–2018. The search is performed in final states including a same-sign ee or eμ pair and at least two jets with large invariant mass and a large

The two-particle momentum correlation functions between charm mesons (D∗± and D±) and charged light-flavor mesons (π± and K±) in all charge combinations are measured for the first time by the ALICE Collaboration in high-multiplicity proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of s=13 TeV. For DK and D∗K pairs, the experimental results are in agreement with theoretical predictions of the re

Hydrochlorothiazide has been associated with increased cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma risk. Meanwhile, its association with basal cell carcinoma (BCC) risk is controversial. The association between commonly prescribed antihypertensive medications and BCC risk in the Swedish population was investigated. All cases with a histopathologically verified BCC in Sweden during 2007–2017 and 2 matched co

A search for dark mesons originating from strongly-coupled, SU(2) dark flavor symmetry conserving models and decaying gaugephobically to pure Standard Model final states containing top and bottom quarks is presented. The search targets fully hadronic final states and final states with exactly one electron or muon and multiple jets. The analyzed data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity o

This paper investigates resilient performance of Air Traffic Management with future Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based tools. A case study was performed on an early prototype of an AI-enabled Flight Information Service (FIS) tool, using a survey of flight instructors and air traffic controllers, and a focus group with controllers with flying experience. The study focused on what characterizes good

Tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV) causes tick-borne encephalitis (TBE), a severe and sometimes life-threatening disease characterized by viral invasion of the central nervous system with symptoms of neuroinflammation1,2. As with other orthoflaviviruses—enveloped, arthropod-borne RNA viruses—host factors required for TBEV entry remain poorly defined. Here we used a genome-scale CRISPR–Cas9-based

We study dynamical optimal transport of discrete time systems (dDOT) with Lagrangian cost. The problem is approached by combining optimal control and Kantorovich duality theory. Based on the derived solution, a first order splitting algorithm is proposed for numerical implementation. While solving partial differential equations is often required in the continuous time case, a salient feature of ou

Perovskites have attracted widespread attention for laser applications due to their excellent optoelectronic properties. However, perovskite lasers typically exhibit a wavelength shift as pump density increases. Here, we report a pump-induced wavelength shift-free laser achieved using a perovskite nanoplatelet with mixed orthorhombic and tetragonal phase. At 293 K, the tetragonal-phase perovskite
