Groundwater resources are facing a high pressure due to drought and overexploitation. The main aim of this research is to apply rotation forest (RTF) with decision trees as base classifiers and an improved ensemble methodology based on evidential belief function and tree-based models (EBFTM) for preparing groundwater potential maps (GPM). The performance of these new models is then compared with t
As demand for fresh groundwater in the worldwide is increasing, delineation of groundwater spring potential zones become an increasingly important tool for implementing a successful groundwater determination, protection, and management programs. Therefore, the objective of current study is to evaluate the capability of three machine learning models such as boosted regression tree (BRT), classifica
Fire has shaped terrestrial ecosystems for hundreds of millions of years. Human activities dramatically shift natural fire regimes, leading to adverse conservation impacts that are projected to increase in severity. Many animals appear ill-equipped to face these drastic changes, and they may be unable to adapt rapidly enough. In contrast, behavioural plasticity could offer a faster solution to ach
The account book fabrication industry, a sub-sector of the printing and stationery sector, has experienced a steady decline due to the rapid rise of computerized accounting. Despite its economic significance and continued relevance in semi-urban and rural markets, this industry remains unexplored in academic literature. This study addresses this research gap by investigating how lean manufacturing
UNLABELLED: Children gain increased health and well-being by participating in physical activity. Children with cerebral palsy who are ambulatory (CP-A) are known to be less physically active than children without physical disabilities, making them an important group of children to support in becoming more physically active. Assistive technologies, such as eHealth, may support physical exercise in
Gemensam debattartikel av företrädare för forskning, utbildning och samverkan på Campus Helsingborg om Lunds universitets betydelse för Helsingborgs utveckling. Publicerad i Helsingborgs Dagblad.
BACKGROUND: Digital symptom checkers might help facilitate effective triage in primary healthcare. However, evidence regarding their acceptance among healthcare professionals remains limited. Identifying key factors of adoption is essential for successful integration into clinical practice.This study aims to identify factors most relevant to nurses' acceptance of a newly implemented digital triage
This paper sets out to extend the epistemic semantics presented in Dahl (2023) tomodal and conditional logics. To do so, I extend the notion of belief expansion sys-tems, inspired by the AGM-model of belief change, to include belief revision, anduse the resulting structures as models for both conditional and modal logic. In thefirst case, this applies the well-known approach to conditionals initia
In this paper I explore how we can conceive of communication without recourse to the notion of meaning. The first step is to decouple linguistic understanding from its usual characterization as knowledge of meaning. Instead, I argue that we should think about understanding as a kind of skill or knowledge-how with both a practical and cognitive component. Further, we need to account for the differe
A quantitative evaluation method for nonlinear elastic characteristics of piezoelectric materials in high-power operation using constant current (CC) measurements was established. The admittance curves obtained from conventional constant voltage measurements are unsuitable for curve fitting to determine the nonlinear coefficients, due to the hysteresis and jump phenomena in the admittance curve. T
The ability to precisely control the localization of individual cells or other microscopic biological particles in aqueous suspension inside a microfluidic confinement is essential for the realization of future tools for single-cell studies in basic biology and medicine. We previously demonstrated that thermoacoustic streaming stemming from interactions of an acoustic field with a thermal gradient
A key challenge in developing sustainable cities is establishing circular infrastructure systems. Decentralised urban water management solutions (DUWMS) are a case in point: Innovative DUWMS that allow recycling the water, heat, energy, or nutrients contained in wastewater locally are currently emerging in cities around the world. These systems could significantly enhance cities’ water resilience
Bridges are critical assets within transportation networks, and their failure, whether due to accidental actions, extreme environmental events, or localized damage, can lead to consequences that extend far beyond the structure itself. In addition to direct safety implications, bridge failures often result in prolonged traffic disruption, economic losses, and reduced network resilience. As traffic
We present a summary of ideas that attempt to explain how the locomotor cerebellum may represent and process information. It includes the proposals that (i) the main network computation is a passive and unlearned effect of cell type morphologies and neural architecture; (ii) information has topographically defined spatial dimensions; (iii) it is coded at collective level, at any instant, in any ra
In this report, we present findings from a Swedish Universities of the Built Environment (SBU) project (2023) where we collected and synthesized examples of pedagogic tools used to strengthen students’ conceptual understanding in structural engineering—i.e., understanding key structural concepts, how they relate to each other, and how they connect to real-world structures and practice. The project
