A stochastic hierarchical model for the evolution of low grade gliomas is proposed. Starting with the description of cell motion using a piecewise diffusion Markov process (PDifMP) at the cellular level, we derive an equation for the density of the transition probability of this Markov process based on the generalised Fokker–Planck equation. Then, a macroscopic model is derived via parabolic limit

Numerous risks threaten modern society. Some are new, while others have existed since the beginning of time, but none have been governed on a societal level since their inception. Despite the abundance of literature addressing the governance of various risks, the processes by which they become governable in the first place have gotten little attention. As a result, this paper aims to improve our k

The as-built geometry and material properties of parts manufactured using Additive Manufacturing (AM) can differ significantly from the as-designed model and base material properties. These differences can be more pronounced in thin strut-like features (e.g., in a lattice structure), making it essential to incorporate them when designing for AM and predicting their structural behaviour. Therefore,

Over the last thirty years, suggestions for how to develop defence capability have developed rapidly. However, supporting theory and structured concept development lag behind. Despite this imbalance, countries need to continuously spend resources on defence development. This study identifies central challenges in relation to the scientific perspectives and approaches needed to support the developm

In this paper, we argue that information researchers should use images as a source of data. The information systems field is overwhelmingly visual in nature. Not only is the Internet crammed with images, but also almost every detail observed during fieldwork in different research settings can be captured in the form of digital images. Yet, we rarely engage with those images. Except for sporadic vi

Background: Treatment of common bile duct (CBD) stones after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) poses a particular challenge given the altered anatomy and inability to perform a standard endoscopic retrograde cholangiogram (ERC). The optimal treatment strategy for intraoperatively encountered CBD stones in post-RYGB patients has not been established. Objectives: To compare outcomes following laparosc

The conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan over Nagorno-Karabakh has put the Islamic regime of Iran in a difficult position. While the government is trying to be neutral, other regime elements have openly taken sides in the conflict.

The study makes an inventory of learning opportunities young people were offered in connection with CEI 2016, one of the annual international conferences organized by the NGO named Caretakers of the Environment International (CEI), which year 2016 took place in Aalborg in Denmark. The learning opportunities offered by this transnational learning community are discussed in relation to some essentia

This paper deals with those provisions of the new EU Regulation No. 2015/848 on Insolvency Proceedings (Recast) that create a system of national insolvency registers and establish a decentralized system for the interconnection of such registers by means of the European e-Justice Portal.

Psykossjukdomar, framför allt schizofreni, anses vara en av de mest krävande sjukdomar för anhö-riga, dels i termer av daglig assistans, dels dess negativa påverkan på hälsa och livskvalitet. Det är idag ovanligt att informell vård inkluderas i hälsoekonomiska analyser. I detta kapitel granskar vi litteraturen på detta område och har funnit sex kostnadsstudier i en europeisk kontext men inte någon
