Background Recruiting and securing primary care physician workforce has been the center of international attention for decades. In Denmark, the number of general practitioners has decreased by 8.5% since 2013. However, a rising population age and increasing prevalence of chronic diseases and multimorbidity place an even greater future need for general practitioners in Denmark. The choice of ...

Shocks have attracted considerable interest in reliability and maintenance engineering because of their impact on vulnerable systems. Most industrial systems suffer from both internal degradation caused by fatigue and wearout, and external shocks that often occur randomly due to harsh weather conditions, overloading, etc. Developing maintenance optimization models without taking these stochastic ...

Maritime training can improve safety by equipping seafarers with the knowledge and skills to manage risk. However, designing a quality training program can be challenging and stress can negatively impact performance and safety. To address this, the present study aims to investigate the relationship between stress and training outcomes, with the goal of developing more effective stress-based ...

This study explores the potential of Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) technology in utilizing Electric Vehicle (EV) batteries for energy storage, aiming to fulfil Spain’s 2030 and 2050 energy goals. The validated Simulink model uses 3.15 million EVs in 2030 and 22.7 million EVs in 2050 as primary energy storage. The results show that Spain can achieve its 2030 target of 42 % renewable energy by utilizing ...

Purpose – The research paper aims to explore how tour guides can contribute to regenerative tourism and the ways in which natureculture guiding practices align with stakeholder interests and the perspectives of tourism futures.<p> <p>Design/methodology/approach – The ethnographic study used a multispecies approach to nature-based tourism in Arctic Norway and Sapmi, incorporating a Sami methodology ...

The Barents Sea polar front is characterized by high primary production following the retreat of the ice edge during spring. However, secondary production estimates of mesozooplankton across the front are scarce, despite being essential for understanding energy flow through the food web. We investigated mesozooplankton community composition and production across the Barents Sea polar front (75°-78°N) ...

I tvister mellom en næringsdrivende og en forbruker er det sentrale problemet ofte om en vare er mangelfull eller ikke. Ved flere av disse sakene blir et av hovedspørsmålene om mangelen var til stede ved kjøpsinngåelsen, eller om den er et resultat av forbrukerens egne uaktsomhet. I slike tilfeller kan det være vanskelig å peke på hvem som skal bevise hvorvidt mangelen forelå ved risikoens overgang ...

Worldwide, the incidence of neonatal sepsis is estimated at around 3000 cases per 100,000 live births, accompanied by a mortality rate of 17.6%. Group B streptococcus (GBS) is globally the leading cause of newborn infections. The global burden of neonatal sepsis and invasive GBS disease is skewed towards the low-income countries, but the outcome of invasive GBS disease with massive inflammation can ...

This chapter investigates how symmetries can be used to reduce the computational complexity in polynomial optimization problems. A focus will be specifically given on the Moment-SOS hierarchy in polynomial optimization, where results from representation theory and invariant theory of groups can be used. In addition, symmetry reduction techniques which are more generally applicable are also presented.

This study describes the patterns of dialect use among L3 Norwegian speakers born in Poland who have migrated to Norway. We collected the data in the form of sociolinguistic interviews recorded in Tromsø and Oslo, two different dialect regions, in order to examine potential differences in acquisition of two dissimilar dialects in Norwegian by L3 speakers. The analyses focus on dialectal and accentual ...
