This study investigated the retention of spatial knowledge in buildings following route-learning training in a virtual reality environment. A total of 121 participants were tested up to three months later on putting waypoints of the route in the correct order and recalling directions at waypoints. Memory accuracy declined over time, consistent with classic memory theory. Route knowledge was retain
Age of Information (AoI) is a widely used metric to quantify the freshness of updates in communication systems. Existing AoI analyses implicitly assume a shared or synchronized notion of time between transmitter and receiver, thereby neglecting distortions arising from relative motion and gravitational effects. In this paper, we investigate the impact of relativistic time dilation on information f
Rapid adoption of artificial intelligence methods in breast imaging research emphasizes the need for large, appropriately curated image databases for development and validation. For digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT), there are few public databases with only limited lesion annotation. Recently, we have developed Malmö Breast ImaginG (M-BIG), a large database of 104 791 women screened at Skåne Univ
We provide evidence of a positive association between independent directors’ reputation incentives and the magnitude of the CEO pay gap, defined as the difference in compensation between the CEO and lower-ranked executives. The CEO pay gap serves as a proxy for the strength of executive pay tournaments within the firm. Using a sample of S&P 1500 firms, we show that independent directors with s
This dissertation examines the Fireburn revolt of 1878 on St. Croix in the Danish West Indies as both a historical event and a site of ongoing meaning-making. Rather than approaching Fireburn solely as a moment of post-emancipation labor unrest, the study investigates how the revolt has been archived, mediated, represented, and remembered across time and space, from the late nineteenth century to
Deep ice cores from polar ice sheets enable reconstructions of Earth’s past climate. Ice core records are therefore crucial for projecting future climate change, but our ability to interpret them relies on our understanding of polycrystalline-ice microstructures and mechanics. In turn, these microstructures enable modeling of ice flow and large-scale effects of ice sheet evolution. Since drilling
Traditionella, rörbaserade dagvattensystem räcker inte längre till i förtätade städer för att möta krav på vattenkvalitet och översvämningsskydd vid extrem nederbörd. Därför efterfrågas naturbaserade och multifunktionella lösningar, här omnämnda som blå-grön infrastruktur, som kan hantera flera samhällsutmaningar samtidigt.Implementeringen av sådana lösningar försvåras dock av många och ibland sam
Accurate and continuous monitoring of inland surface water dynamics is vital for sustainable water resource management, climate impact assessment, and ecological planning. This study introduces a machine learning-based remote sensing-based data-fusion framework that improves Sentinel-3 radar altimeter (SRAL) estimations of water surface elevation (WSE) by integrating ERA5 reanalysis climate varia
Nytilkomne familier bliver mødt med mange krav fra den danske velfærdsstat. Et af kravene er, at de skal sende deres 0-6 årige børn i dagtilbud, så forældrene kan gå på sprogskole eller komme i praktik. Artiklen belyser nogle af de dilemmaer, der opstår i forældresamarbejdet i mødet mellem pædagoger og nytilkomne familier. Disse dilemmaer udspringer af den myndighedsrolle som pædagogerne har, samt
In the past decades, the number of research work explaining the load transfer mechanism of moment connections has increased due to their advantages of energy dissipation capacity and improved load distribution. The use of bolts in slotted-in plate moment connections is a common practice in timber construction. However, the design and application guidelines are still limited and leading to results
As a fluid age cohort and a social category between childhood and adulthood – and hence with tenuous links to the status quo – youth are variously described as ‘at risk’, as victims of precarious and unpredictable circumstances, or as agents of social change who embody the future. From this future-oriented generational perspective, youth are often mobilised to individually and collectively imagine
This study explores causes for uncertainty that social workers experience when making assessments ofout of home placements in foster or institutional care. Uncertainty is often considered to be an integralpart of professional decision making, and the reason why professions are needed at all. Most researchhas concentrated on investigating how uncertainty is approached in education, professions, and
The current framing of AI-driven technologies situates them as solutions to a looming care crisis. However, this overlooks informal caregivers' key role to current State budgetary deficits impacting healthcare services happening in Europe. As States increasingly rely on informal caregivers to provide care before the necessary involvement of healthcare services, there is already well-established re
This article is based on fieldwork in a Chinese Protestant house-church in Beijing—more specifically, it focuses on a form of group therapy, which took place in the vicinity of the church. It combines two phenomena usually studied separately, namely the popularity of Chinese underground churches and China's so-called “psycho-boom.” Drawing on attachment theory, I focus on the psychic conflicts tha
Fibroblasts are dynamic structural cells that direct both beneficial tissue repair and pathological organ fibrosis through interactions with tissue-resident type 2 lymphocytes (T2Ls) and type 3/17 lymphocytes (T3Ls). The cytokines interleukin-13 (IL-13) and IL-17A, produced by T2Ls and T3Ls, respectively, are linked to both tissue inflammation and fibrosis, but how their spatial positioning influe
This study examines the contribution of a structural glass window integrated into a lightweight timber-frame wall diaphragm at the structural level. A full-scale timber mock-up, comprising different bracing elements such as wall diaphragms (with and without a bonded structural window), and a moment-resisting frame, combined with a roof diaphragm, was subjected to multiple serviceability limit stat
