Mortality reduction benefits and intussusception risks of rotavirus vaccination in 135 low-income and middle-income countries: a modelling analysis of current and alternative schedules

Summary: Background: Infant rotavirus vaccines have led to substantial reductions in hospital admissions and deaths due to gastroenteritis, but some studies have reported an elevated risk of intussusception, a rare bowel disorder. This ana...

Expertise, Knowledge, and Resilience in #AcademicTwitter: Enacting Resilience-Craft in a Community of Practice

Online communities of practice are a useful professional development space, where members can exchange information, aggregate expertise, and find support. These communities have grown in popularity within higher education—especially on soci...

Real-time perioperative communication technologies for reducing family anxiety: a systematic review

Family members often experience anxiety during the intraoperative period because of uncertainty regarding surgical progress and the patient’s condition. Real-time perioperative communication technologies, including mobile applications, auto...

Methodological Background for Spectral Analysis, Illustrated by Studying the Number of Ukrainian Population

A data series usually has three components: trend, periodic (seasonal or cyclic) and random. Cyclic recurrence is periodic swings going beyond the limits of one year. The time span between the two next peaks within one year is considered as...

The Philosophy of Statistics

This paper puts forward an overall view of statistics. It is argued that statistics is the study of uncertainty. The many demonstrations that uncertainties can only combine according to the rules of the probability calculus are summarized. ...

Influence of proxy data uncertainty on data assimilation for the past climate

Data assimilation (DA) is an emerging topic in palaeoclimatology and one of the key challenges in this field. Assimilating proxy-based continental mean temperature reconstructions into the MPI-ESM model showed a lack of information propagat...

Uncertainty in Geographical Information

Preface. Geographical Information and Uncertainty. Geographical Perspectives. Geographical Measurement and Data. Exploring Geographical Uncertainty. Uncertainty in Continuous Variables. Uncertainty in Categorical Variables. Uncertainty in O...

Les salafistes marocains et la reconfiguration politico-religieuse post-2011 : fluctuation entre (dé)politisation, radicalisation et intégration

The article examines the complex and fluctuant relationship which exists between the Moroccan regime and salafists from the 1970s until the ‘Arab Spring’. In each moment of this evolution, the regime opts for a pragmatic approach which cons...

COUNTRY RISK AND POLITICAL INSTABILITY: A VUCA WORLD APPROACH

The last three years were characterized by a climate of drastic change due to a cumulus of disturbances and crises, namely the COVID-19 pandemic, inflation, energy crisis, military conflicts, banking fragilities, populism, disinformation,...

Measurement of the Y(1S) pair production cross section and search for resonances decaying to Y(1S)μ+μ− in proton-proton collisions at s=13TeV

The fiducial cross section for Y(1S) pair production in proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV in the region where both Y(1S) mesons have an absolute rapidity below 2.0 is measured to be 79±11(stat)±6(syst)±3(B)pb ass...

Testing the Physical Parameter Constraining Power of HCN and HNC with Neural Networks

We quantify the utility of HCN and HNC to characterize gas conditions in the nearby starburst galaxy NGC 253. We use measurements from the Atacama Large Millimeter/Submillimeter Array (ALMA) Large Program ALCHEMI: the ALMA Comprehensive Hig...

A Decision Support Model for Hotel Recommendation Based on the Online Consumer Reviews Using Logarithmic Spherical Hesitant Fuzzy Information

Spherical hesitant fuzzy sets have recently become more popular in various fields. It was proposed as a generalization of picture hesitant fuzzy sets and Pythagorean hesitant fuzzy sets in order to deal with uncertainty and fuzziness inform...

Machine learning-based dynamic risk measurement for white sugar futures under geopolitical risks

Futures, as significant financial derivatives, play a crucial role in financial markets by fulfilling price discovery functions and providing efficient risk hedging tools. Against the backdrop of geopolitical conflicts, market risk emerges ...

Modified Block Homotopy Perturbation Method for solving triangular linear Diophantine fuzzy system of equations

Numerous real-world applications can be solved using the broadly adopted notions of intuitionistic fuzzy sets, Pythagorean fuzzy sets, and q-rung orthopair fuzzy sets. These theories, however, have their own restrictions in terms of members...

Business marketing activities in Ukraine during wartime

The war in Ukraine dealt a crushing blow to the country’s economy. The relevance of the topic is due to the marketing ability to be an effective tool for restoring and developing business in Ukraine. The paper aims to define the state and p...

Complex T-Spherical Fuzzy Relations With Their Applications in Economic Relationships and International Trades

Uncertainty is the unavoidable part of the life. In almost all circumstances, we regularly find ourselves in a state of uncertainty. Several reasons can lead to uncertainty, such as randomness, vagueness and rough knowledge. Fuzzy set (FS) ...

Coping with Uncertainty in International Business

Departure Time and Route Choices With Accurate Information Under Binary Stochastic Bottleneck Capacity in the Morning Commute

Uncertainty, a critical factor of causing congestion and extra travel costs in the commute, can be mitigated by providing information. This paper studies the welfare effects of accurate pre-trip information on departure time and route choic...

Integrating uncertainty propagation in GNSS radio occultation retrieval: from excess phase to atmospheric bending angle profiles

Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) radio occultation (RO) observations are highly accurate, long-term stable data sets and are globally available as a continuous record from 2001. Essential climate variables for the thermodynamic ...
