Climate policies are challenged around the world, a development coinciding with the backlash of globalisation. The emergence of the modern welfare state, however, indicates that similar tensions may give rise to transformative change, if coinciding interests for change develop. This article explores the case of Sweden, critical due to its longstanding role as an environmental frontrunner, now expe

Cemented carbides with tungsten carbide grains as hard phase and metallic cobalt binder phase are used extensively for drill bit inserts for rock drilling. The process of rock drilling is severe with some of the wear happening through fracture in the cemented carbide. This work investigated two cemented carbides with iron rich alternative binder phases containing different amounts of FCC phase, in

This introductory chapter establishes the theoretical and methodological framework for examining the profound transformations that occurred across the western provinces of the Roman Empire during the Augustan period. The volume explores these changes through the lens of landscape archaeology, considering landscapes as complex social constructs that reflect and integrate multiple factors—social, ec

This study is aimed at detecting Parkinson's disease by analyzing voice measurements made using a mobile phone. The key objectives include creating a model that ensures accurate predictions while maintaining interpretability, consistent with the existing literature on Parkinson's disease. We introduce a novel group-wise scaling method to address typical age and biological sex biases in the dataset

This book centres on the transformation of landscapes, focusing on the Western Mediterranean during the end of the Roman Republic and the Early Roman Empire.This volume brings together diverse contributions that utilise both theoretical and practical approaches from landscape studies and archaeology to examine the transitions to the Empire in the provincial landscapes of the western Roman Empire.

This study examines the landscape changes that developed in Tarraco (modern-day Tarragona, Spain) between the Roman Republican period and the end of the first century CE. This study, based on a compilation and re-evaluation of archaeological data, combines quantitative and qualitative approaches to analyse types of sites and their geographical distribution. This research aims to identify elements

Indoor sensing is challenging because of the multi-bounce effect, spherical wavefront, and spatial nonstationarity (SNS) of the near-field effect. This paper addresses radio-based environment sensing considering these issues. Specifically, graph theory (GT) is used to model the multi-bounce propagation of the near field. In this manner, indoor reflectors/scatterers are modeled as vertices in a pro
