Over the past 40 years, tourism has developed to become a sector of global economic, social and environmental significance. This paper provides a retrospective overview of the massive expansion and evolving geography of international and domestic tourism over the last 40 years, including the factors that enabled and challenged this growth, in order to contextualize a discussion of what the next 40
The high neutron flux of the European Spallation Source in Lund, Sweden, opens new possibilities for neutron protein crystallography. Making full use of these gains requires dedicated instrumentation and support facilities to maximize its contribution to our understanding of biological processes at the molecular level.
Objective To delineate organ-specific and systemic drivers of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), we applied integrative causal inference across clinical, imaging, and proteomic domains in individuals with and without type 2 diabetes (T2D). Methods Bayesian network analyses and complementary two-sample Mendelian randomization were used to quantify causal pathways link
In this paper we review the physics opportunities at linear e+e− colliders with a special focus on high centre-of-mass energies and beam polarisation, take a fresh look at the various accelerator technologies available or under development and, for the first time, discuss how a facility first equipped with a technology that is mature today could be upgraded with technologies of tomorrow to reach m
This paper aims to contribute to the discussion of the nature of the self-help housing market by analysing its extent and mode of operation in four self-help settlements in the intermediate sized city of Perdra, Colombia. The evidence from the survey settlements suggests that the market for self-help houses is small. Self-help settlements are dominated by a land market rather than by a housing mar
Background:Support, Monitoring, and Reminder Technology for Mild Dementia (SMART4MD), a customized tablet app, was developed to improve or maintain the quality of life of people with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and their informal caregivers.Objective:This study conducts an 18-month economic evaluation of the SMART4MD app, in addition to standard care, compared with standard care alone in Swede
The Internet is a large used technology and seniors, like everyone else, want to take part in the experience of navigate the Web. Many guidelines about how to develop usable web pages exist, but not many of them are focused on seniors. This paper aims to issue guidelines for developing web pages intended to be used by seniors, based upon the results of the observations of seniors and younger adult
This thesis is about returns to schooling for Mexican immigrants to the United States. The United States became the home of many immigrants. There is an evidence that large amount of immigrants in USA are from Mexico. They are among both oldest and newest inhabitants of the nation. Mexican immigrants and their descendants now make-up a significant portion of the US population and have become one o
Emerging data indicates SGRT could improve safety and quality by preventing errors in its capacity as an independent system in the treatment room. The aim of this work is to investigate the utility of SGRT in the context of safety and quality. Three incident learning systems (ILS) were reviewed to categorize and quantify errors that could have been prevented with SGRT: SAFRON (International Atomic
In order to reduce maritime transportation's greenhouse gas and pollutant emissions, marine engine manufacturers need to deepen the fundamental understanding of the injection and spray process. Two-dimensional unsteady-state Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes simulations were conducted to investigate evaporating high-pressure marine engine sprays, in which an injector with a nozzle diameter of 0.44 m
We approach critically the assertion that a referendum ultimately defends the “traditional family,” by examining the articulation of anti-gender politics in Romanian parliamentary debates. We contribute theoretically by employing the concept of retrogressive mobilization in plebiscitary circumstances. We show that in Romania the contours of retrogressive mobilization transgress both the ideologica
Human rely profoundly on tactile feedback from fingertips to interact with the environment, whereas most hand prostheses used in clinics provide no tactile feedback. In this study we demonstrate the feasibility to use a tactile display glove that can be worn by a unilateral hand amputee on the remaining healthy hand to display tactile feedback from a hand prosthesis. The main benefit is that users
In an ampoule for a medicament the space accommodating the medicament is defined by an ampoule wall (1) a pierceable seal (5) closing one end of the ampoule and a piston (7) closing the other end of the ampoule. A metal containing fixation element (8) is secured to one of the parts defining the medicament accommodating space. A mixing element (9, 10) also containing a metal and having a density la

In this paper, beam diagnostic and monitoring tools developed by the MAX IV Operations Group are discussed. In particular, beam position monitoring and accelerator tunes visualization software tools, as well as tools that directly influence the beam quality and stability, are introduced. An availability and downtime monitoring application is also presented.
Graph neural networks for crystal structures typically use the atomic positions and the atomic species as input. Unfortunately, this information is not available when predicting new materials, for which the precise geometrical information is unknown. We circumvent this problem by replacing the precise bond distances with embeddings of graph distances. This allows our networks to be applied directl
Tunnel fire risk analysis are a useful tool to ensure adequate safety levels in tunnels. This report presents the work conducted to integrate a multi-zone modelling approach into a fire risk assessment tool, called ARTU. This work was performed to improve its fire modelling predictive capabilities compared to the currently adopted 1D fire modelling representation. This is deemed to allow for the u
The breaching of planetary boundaries and excessive extraction of natural resources requires a revisited approach to consumption and production. The concept of sufficiency, which advocates meeting human needs within the planetary limits by curbing excessive consumption levels, is gaining increasing attention. Businesses are drivers of consumption, yet they have been largely overlooked as potential
This article critically examines the approach of technical experts, including engineers, natural scientists, architects, planners, and other practitioners, who are attempting to create more sustainable forms of economic development, environmental protection, and social equity. The authors identify four principal characteristics of expertise–ontological assumptions, epistemological approaches, powe
Chronic breathlessness occurs across many different conditions, often independently of disease severity. Yet, despite being strongly linked to adverse outcomes, the consideration of chronic breathlessness as a stand-alone therapeutic target remains limited. Here we use data-driven techniques to identify and confirm the stability of underlying features (factors) driving breathlessness across differ
