När röken klarnar blir silhuetterna av Irans ambitiösa geopolitiska strävanden mer urskiljbara, skriver Ardavan M. Khoshnood, docent, överläkare och lektor vid Lunds universitet.The orchestrated attack by Hamas on Israel on October 7, 2023, highlights a significant intelligence failure and the menacing influence of the Islamic regime in Iran. Post-attack, the regime's involvement in aiding Hamas has been echoed globally. The Islamic regime, known for supporting terrorist groups like Hamas, has been a major destabilizing force in the Middle East since 1979. The nature of t

With the rapid advancement of autonomous vehicle technology, integrating mixed autonomous and non-autonomous vehicles that are not cooperative in vehicular network has become a significant challenge. This paper presents an innovative Autonomous Intersection Management (AIM) system designed to optimize traffic flow and enhance intersection safety in such mixed traffic scenarios. By utilizing vehicl

Connected Autonomous Vehicles (AVs) have the potential to revolutionize Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) by addressing urban transport challenges, such asAutonomous Intersection Management (AIM). However, the assumption of highly accurate positioning in most ITS applications does not align with real-life situations. While extensive research has been conducted to improve positioning accurac

Introduction: Scale insects (Hemiptera: Coccomorpha) feed on a wide variety of agricultural crops and forest and ornamental trees worldwide. These pest insects damage plants not only by causing sap loss but also by reducing the plant's photosynthetic activity. This is because the honeydew they produce acts as a substrate for mold, which covers leaf surfaces. In the last decades, several outbreaks

Background: Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is diagnosed based on an invasive evaluation of the mean pulmonary artery (PA) pressure. The morphological assessment of the pulmonary arteries was only recently not feasible. With the advent of optical coherence tomography (OCT)-imaging, an accessible tool allows to study PA morphology longitudinally. The primary hypothesis was that OCT distincts the PA str

Solid-state NMR methods incorporating dynamics-based spectral editing have a remarkable versatility for resolving and separately characterizing co-existing solid and liquid phases or domains in biologically and technically relevant organic materials. While 13C spectra acquired under magic-angle spinning and 1H decoupling provide atomic resolution, the signal intensities obtained with the CP and IN

QUIC is a UDP-based transport layer protocol developed by Google that boasts lower latency performance than TCP. However, different conclusions have been reported regarding its performance due to variations in targeted applications and experimental setups. This leads to our conclusion that protocol performance evaluation should be heavily dependent on the QoS requirements of the target application

Cloud Control Systems (CCSs) harness the power of cloud resources to carry out intense computational tasks, however, they face challenges in delivering time-critical control signals due to network and cloud-induced delays. In this paper, we introduce a novel framework, "Punctual Cloud", designed to enhance the timely delivery of control signals in CCS. This framework ensures that control signals a

Introduction: Trypanosoma cruzi, the causative agent of Chagas disease, can infect almost any nucleated cell in the mammalian host. Although previous studies have described the transcriptomic changes that occur in host cells during parasite infection, the understanding of the role of post-transcriptional regulation in this process is limited. MicroRNAs, a class of short non-coding RNAs, are key pl

Recently, the industry has been driven to move industrial control systems to the cloud due to the significant advantages it offers in terms of storage and computing resources. However, this shift also brings forth significant security challenges. By moving control systems to the cloud, the potential for attackers to infiltrate the system and launch damaging attacks increases. These attacks can res

This paper focuses on the investigation of a sequential detection policy for combating the effect of the replay attack on a cloud-native controller. In reply attacks, an external attacker records true signals for some time duration and replays them later. The effect of such an attack is mitigated by adding random signals to the optimal control signal before the actuation process, which is known as

In many situations, pro-social norms govern behavior. While the existence of a pro-social norm may be clear to someone entering the situation, it is often less clear precisely how much effort is required in order to comply with the norm. We investigate how people react to uncertainty about which effort level implements the prevailing norm using a modified version of the dictator game. Since the be

Vi lever i en tid där omfattningen av otillbörlig kognitiv informationspåverkan från främmande makt med syfte att påverka människors uppfattningar, beteenden och beslut ökar. Särskild uppmärksamhet har riktats mot sociala mediers betydelse ochpotentiella effekter. Men det finns en stor digital sektor som hamnat utanför strålkastarljuset – dataspel inklusive de plattformar och sociala aktiviteter s

Eco-roofs are becoming popular for aesthetic reasons and also as units of stormwater systems. It is thought that such roofs with soil cover and vegetation reduces the total runoff, the peak flows and improves the quality of the roof water. Here are reported investigations of runoff from thin, 3-4 cm soil, extensive green roofs with sedum-moss in southern Sweden. The two-year study was performed on
