The emergence of the modern urban water infrastructure, albeit facilitated the waste- and stormwater management, it left some negative imprints on Iran's urban and natural environment. Among which changing the hydrology of urban watershed has great importance. Moreover, lack of resilience of the current stormwater management infrastructure is increasing the risks of urban flooding and pollution of

Nanosecond pulsed discharges (NPD) have been extensively used in plasma-assisted combustion to stimulate combustion kinetics. Experimental measurement of the energy transfer processes in non-equilibrium plasma-assisted processes is extremely difficult, as the non-equilibrium plasma discharge involves numerous different species with transient and complex three-dimensional structures across various

Understanding the flame dynamics in a nanosecond pulsed discharge (NPD) is imperative for the novel technology of plasma-assisted combustion. We conducted a systematic study on the dynamics of atmospheric NPD-assisted flames in single-pulse mode using Rayleigh scattering combined with structured illumination. The study is divided into two parts. Part I detailed the measurements and CH4/air flame r

Israel’s surprise attack exposed the Islamic Republic’s staggering military vulnerability, eliminating top commanders and penetrating airspace with impunity. The regime’s collapse in air defense and intelligence is not merely operational, it reflects decades of corruption, ideological purges, and systemic decay. As the war unfolds, six scenarios emerge, including revolt and military coup.

This chapter explains that the causation inquiry performed by the European Court of Human Rights for determining breach of positive obligations has to be understood in light of the normative structural considerations that underpin state responsibility under the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR). In particular, the responsibility system is not shaped by the corrective justice rationale tha

Background: The European Cooperation in Science and Technology (COST) Action 21122, PROmoting GeRiAtric Medicine in countries where it is still eMergING (PROGRAMMING) developed an online open survey to assess the educational interests and needs of health care professionals and final-year medical students across participating countries. This survey aims to establish a current baseline for developin

Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka hur socialarbetare och diakoner i Sverige beskriver och resonerar kring sitt förhållningssätt till personer som uttrycker skam i samband med behov av mathjälp. Tio professionella som arbetar med mathjälp deltog i individuella semistrukturerade intervjuer. Framträdande drag i resultaten är tre strategier baserade på argumentation, bemötande och handling i mThe aim of this study was to reveal how social workers and deacons in Sweden describe and reason their approach to people expressing an experience of shame when in need of food aid. Ten food aid professionals participated in individual semi-structured interviews. Prominent features in the "ndings are three strategies based on argumentation, attitude, and action in the meeting with visitors, and, a

Tropical mosquitoes transmit diseases like malaria, yellow fever, and Zika. Classifying mosquitoes by species, sex, age, and gravidity offers vital insights for assessing transmission risk and effective mitigations. Photonic monitoring for mosquito classification can be used in distributed sensors or lidars on longer ranges. However, a reflectance model and its parameters are lacking in the curren

Plastic packaging provides enormous benefits for preservation and transportation of food and beverage products. However, recycling the multilayered packaging materials represents a challenge due to the complexity of separating the components making up the different layers. The drinks packaging, having aluminium (Al) as a light barrier placed between polyethylene layers inside the paperboard carton

AIMS: This study aimed to assess the predictive value of non-invasive pressure-volume (PV) loop variables by cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) for determining development of adverse remodelling 3 months after primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).METHODS AND RESULTS: In total, 181 STEMI patients examined with CMR during the index admi

The legal opacity of AI technologies has long posed challenges in addressing algorithmic harms, as secrecy enables companies to retain competitive advantages while limiting public scrutiny. In response, ideas such as qualified transparency have been proposed to provide AI accountability within the confidentiality constraints. With the introduction of the EU AI Act, the foundations for human-centri

BACKGROUND: Medical students navigate a complex landscape of digital tools with potential to enhance learning. The main objectives of the current study were to investigate which digital resources are being used, which background factors are associated with utilization, perceived advantages and disadvantages of different digital resources, and explore future directions.METHODS: Cross-sectional, nat

Decades of criminological research have highlighted the principle that “place matters” when analysing crime dynamics. While acknowledging this, our study emphasises that place matters at specific times of the day and days of the week. This paper explores spatiotemporal patterns of assaults in public spaces in Stockholm, Sweden, using a time–space modeling approach. By segmenting annual crime regis

Delivery of antigenic peptides to antigen presenting cells (APCs) such as dendritic cells (DCs) using monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) is an attractive approach to evoke antigen-specific T cell activation and improve drug efficacy. Peptide linkage to mAbs has previously been achieved through genetic fusion, chemical conjugation, nano-engineered platforms and high affinity peptides. In this study, we h

Railway maintenance is crucial for ensuring system availability, punctuality, safety, and comfort. Though studies have shown that in reality, maintenance is 'imperfect'-inspections do not reveal all defects and repairs do not return components to as good as new and may even leave them in a worse state, railway maintenance planning is still based on periodic block-type and age-based maintenance pol

Albeit costly, flight allows birds to travel great distances in a short time, making it a highly effective mode of locomotion, especially during migration.1,2 Understanding how birds use energy during flight is essential for studying their flight ecology.3 To fly, birds flap their wings, accelerating surrounding air and generating flight forces, where the rate of energy added to the wake represent

Delar av den svenska arbetsmarknaden präglas idag av arbetskraftsexploatering, informalisering och arbetslivskriminalitet. Framförallt är migrantarbetare anställda inom bygg- och städindustrin utsatta och det är vanligt förekommande med icke utbetalda löner och utpressning (Arbetsmiljöverket, 2025). Trots detta har det fram tills nyligen varit tunnsått med initiativ från den etablerade svenska fac

Optimization of machining processes, such as milling, is essential for industrial efficiency and product quality. To achieve greater efficiency, it is necessary to understand how tools wear down in different conditions in order to anticipate possible undesirable events like sudden breakage or unpredictable degradation. This study focuses on understanding tool wear in dry milling of compacted graph
