Two-dimensional materials can be strongly influenced by their surroundings. A dielectric environment screens and reduces the Coulomb interaction between electrons in the two-dimensional material. Since in Mott materials the Coulomb interaction is responsible for the insulating state, manipulating the dielectric screening provides direct control over Mottness. Our many-body calculations reveal the

To reduce the load on the UAV operator during long-term search and rescue missions, an on-board automatic system is considered that generates control signals for positioning an additional video camera with a narrow field of view. The requirements for the system of automatic detection of the area of interest are defined. Various methods for detecting objects in images are considered, analyzed and c

Enabling resilient autonomous motion planning requires robust predictions of surrounding road users' future behavior. In response to this need and the associated challenges, we introduce our model titled MTP-GO. The model encodes the scene using temporal graph neural networks to produce the inputs to an underlying motion model. The motion model is implemented using neural ordinary differential equ

Given their flexibility and encouraging performance, deep-learning models are becoming standard for motion prediction in autonomous driving. However, with great flexibility comes a lack of interpretability and possible violations of physical constraints. Accompanying these data-driven methods with differentially-constrained motion models to provide physically feasible trajectories is a promising f

This chapter focuses on taxation in Africa since 1900. Using existing data and insights from the literature, the chapter documents taxes collected by colonial and post-colonial states, exploring what was taxed, the types of taxes, the tax revenue patterns and the socio-political contexts shaping taxation policies. It begins by discussing the fundamental principles of taxation and forms of direct a

In National Audit Offices (NAOs), impact is often used as a measure of success, serving to build legitimacy. When aiming to maximize impact, the media tends to play an important role. Based on empirical observations from the Swedish NAO, this paper explores how the role of the media for a NAO can be understood, and how this may affect independence. It is suggested that impact can be understood ei

ConspectusThe photophysics and photochemistry of transition metal complexes (TMCs) has long been a hot field of interdisciplinary research. Rich metal-based redox processes, together with a high variety in electronic configurations and excited-state dynamics, have rendered TMCs excellent candidates for interconversion between light, chemical, and electrical energies in intramolecular, supramolecul

As robots increasingly integrate into our social environments, from factories to social spaces, there is a growing need to find ways to effectively collaborate in these dynamic environments. However, current robotics research is mostly aimed towards task and environment specific programming. Even the state-of-the-art collaborative robotics technologies lack or have a very rudimentary understanding

Trafikverket är enligt Järnvägssäkerhetslag (2022:367), 2 kap., 2 § skyldigt att ha ett säkerhetsstyrningssystem. Säkerhetsstyrningssystemet ska utformas så att de risker som verksamheten kan ge upphov till kan hanteras det vill säga att identifiera, analysera och utvärdera risker som är relevanta för, i detta fall järnvägstunnlar. För att tillgodose kraven i ett praktiskt sammanhang behövs någon

AIMS/HYPOTHESIS: The incidence of type 1 diabetes increased during the pandemic in various countries. SARS-CoV-2 infections may trigger the development of type 1 diabetes, but the evidence is inconclusive. This study aimed to assess trends in type 1 diabetes incidence between 2007 and 2023, and to quantify the association between SARS-CoV-2 infections and the risk for developing type 1 diabetes.ME

In the software industry, the drive to add new features often overshadows the need to improve existing code. Large Language Models (LLMs) offer a new approach to improving codebases at an unprecedented scale through AI-assisted refactoring. However, LLMs come with inherent risks such as braking changes and the introduction of security vulnerabilities. We advocate for encapsulating the interaction

Maintainable source code is essential for sustainable development. Yet, many studies show that maintainability often receives less attention than it deserves. We argue that requirements engineering can help close this gap by fostering discussions and setting appropriate targets in a responsible manner. In this preliminary work, we explore industry practices related to requirements engineering for

The relationship between requirements engineering and testing has been a key interest throughout my research career. It cannot be that requirements engineers are from Omicron Persei 7 and testers from Omicron Persei 9—we all live on the same planet. I’m happy to co-author this column with a former collaborator from a test automation EU project, now a manager at Ericsson. With this issue’s focus on

This column summarizes a panel discussion given by REFSQ 202 held in Barcelona on responsibility. Given the mediator role of our field, what other soft- ware engineering discipline could be a better fit for responsible engineering? And this will just keep getting more important as the influence of technology on society increases.
