Detecting failures early in cloud-based software systems is highly significant as it can reduce operational costs, enhance service reliability, and improve user experience. Many existing approaches include anomaly detection in metrics or a blend of metric and log features. However, such approaches tend to be very complex and hardly explainable, and consequently non-trivial for implementation and e

With the dynamic nature of modern software development and operations environments and the increasing complexity of cloud-based software systems, traditional monitoring practices are often insufficient to timely identify and handle unexpected operational failures. To address these challenges, this paper presents the findings from a quantitative industry survey focused on the application of Machine

The SARS-CoV-2 virus that led to COVID-19 is associated with significant and long-lasting neurologic symptoms in many patients, with an increased mortality risk for people with Alzheimer's disease (AD) and/or Down syndrome (DS). However, few studies have evaluated the neuropathological and inflammatory sequelae in postmortem brain tissue obtained from AD and people with DS with severe SARS-CoV-2 i

Environmental degradation is one of the most significant challenges faced by humanity, yet current global politics struggle to implement collective solutions. Previous research has suggested that the EU has a leadership role in the international climate change regime complex, which refer to a set of overlapping institutions that address different aspects of climate governance. Moreover, within the

Recent research into migration in Bangladesh has highlighted that people migrate for better livelihoods, not necessarily in response to climatic stresses and shocks. If facilitated appropriately, internal and international migration can help build adaptive capacity to future environmental and climatic hazards. In this framing, migration happens in the context of a growing city-centred economy that

We investigate mean-field games from the point of view of a large number of indistinguishable players, which eventually converges to infinity. The players are weakly coupled via their empirical measure. The dynamics of the states of the individual players is governed by a non-autonomous pure jump type semi group in a Euclidean space, which is not necessarily smoothing. Investigations are conducted

Speeches delivered in the Conference of the Parties (COPs) to the Convention on Biological Diversity represent leading discourses about biodiversity conservation. The discourse shared by high-level politicians is especially influential in the financing and decision-making process of global biodiversity governance. However, the speeches given in the COPs have not been the subject of systematic anal

In the literature on coastal land reclamation and ecological restoration policies, the role of policy translation has received limited attention vis-à-vis domestic political factors. This paper addresses this knowledge gap by clarifying the role of Dutch actors in developing South Korea's coastal management policies. To do so, we first develop an analytical framework that operationalizes the ‘poli

Based on an ethnographic survey of the 26th Conference of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, this article analyses the ways in which youth participate in climate negotiations. We show how youth actors are characterised by diverse modes of engagement, and particular sociodemographic anchors. Presenting themselves as the voice of youth worldwide, youth actors have gradually c

This is the second progress report of the international project funded by the National Research Council of Canada called Resilience and Adaptation to Climatic Extreme Wildfires (RACE Wildfires). In this second phase, the research performed included two main tasks: 1) developments concerning the modelling of smoke and 2) development of analysis methods concerning validation datasets for wildfire ev

Wildfires in wildland-urban interface (WUI) areas present significant threats, especially to populations unprepared for emergency situations. Effective emergency strategies must consider human behaviour, and decision-making processes. Tourists, often unfamiliar with wildfire risks, face unique challenges in evacuation, requiring tailored strategies. Cross-border regions with diverse cultures and l

Evacuation models commonly employ pseudorandom sampling from distributions to represent the variability of human behaviour in the evacuation process, otherwise referred to as ‘behavioural uncertainty’. This paper presents a method based on functional analysis and inferential statistics to study the convergence of probabilistic evacuation model results to inform deciding how many repeat simulation

Articulators accelerate and decelerate continuously during speech. Previous research reveals a structured pattern of deceleration peaks aligning with segment onset and acceleration peaks with segment offset. This study reports on previous EMA findings on 18 speakers while also sets out to explain why the deceleration peak lags behind at onset boundary, as previously reported. A qualitative analysi

This book examines the approaches to climate change adaptation in water governance taken by South Korea and Germany. By comparing their political decision-making processes, this book explores the factors behind their differences. Adaptation to the changing climate is critical to human society and water is the principal medium through which climate change will affect us. Due to high levels of indus

Younger generations in South Korea are increasingly concerned about environmental issues, while youth climate activism is one of the fastest growing social movements globally, engaging formal and informal politics at multiple levels. Among others, Youth 4 Climate Action, a Korean youth climate movement group, has initiated climate change litigation and presented its actions at a side event of the

Avian haemosporidian parasites are useful model organisms to study the ecology and evolution of parasite-host interactions due to their global distribution and extensive biodiversity. Detection of these parasites has evolved from microscopic examination to PCR-based methods, with the mitochondrial cytochrome b gene serving as barcoding region. However, standard PCR protocols used for screening and

Objective: Non-sustained supraventricular tachycardia (nsSVT) is associated with a higher risk of developing atrial fibrillation (AF), and, therefore, detection of nsSVT can improve AF screening efficiency. However, the detection is challenged by the lower signal quality of ECGs recorded using handheld devices and the presence of ectopic beats which may mimic the rhythm characteristics of nsSVT. M
