A survey on popularity bias in recommender systems
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Recommender systems help people find relevant content in a personalized way. One main promise of such systems is that they are able to increase the visibility of items in the long tail, i.e., the lesser-known items in a ... -
The parameterized complexity of finding minimum bounded chains
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Finding the smallest d-chain with a specific (d − 1)-boundary in a simplicial complex is known as the Minimum Bounded Chain problem (MBCd). MBCd is NP-hard for all d ≥2. In this paper, we prove that it is also W[1]-hard ... -
A scoping review on the associations between early childhood caries and sustainable cities and communities using the sustainable development goal 11 framework
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Background: Early childhood caries (ECC) is a multifactorial disease in which environmental factors could play a role. The purpose of this scoping review was to map the published literature that assessed the association ... -
Framing the Intersectional Representation of the Landless Workers’ Movement on Instagram
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)The Landless Workers’ Movement (MST) is a grassroots organization influenced by Marxism, which has attracted national and international attention for its strategies for the occupation and redistribution of land in Brazil. ... -
Modelling of mixed-mechanism stimulation for the enhancement of geothermal reservoirs
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Hydraulic stimulation is a critical process for increasing the permeability of fractured geothermal reservoirs. This technique relies on coupled hydromechanical processes induced through pressurized fluid injection into ... -
Association between early childhood caries and parental education and the link to the sustainable development goal 4: a scoping review
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024-05-02)Background: The goal of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 4 is to ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all. The aim of this scoping review was ... -
Generosity's Double-Edged Sword: Unmasking the Impact of Raised Social Assistance Rates in Norway
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)As long as welfare arrangements have been in existence, there has been a strong belief that high-benefit generosity leads to welfare reliance. In this study, we investigate whether an increase in welfare generosity in ... -
Towards greener wind power: Nanodiamond-treated flax fiber composites outperform standard glass fiber composites in impact fatigue tests
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Wind energy is facing two major problems, recyclability of wind turbine blades, primarily made from fiberglass, and rain erosion on the blade’s leading edges. Here, we show that flax fiber reinforced epoxy composites have ... -
Simulated Abrupt Shifts in Aerobic Habitats of Marine Species in the Past, Present, and Future
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)The physiological tolerances of marine species toward ambient temperature and oxygen can jointly be evaluated in a single metric: the metabolic index. Changes therein characterize a changing aerobic habitat tailored to ... -
Failsafe layer for wind turbine blades: Erosion protection of glass fiber composite through nanodiamond-treated flax composite top layer
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Wind turbine blades are mainly made from E-glass fiber (GF) epoxy composites, because of their good ratio of strength to weight and costs. With the increase in blade length and tip speed, the problem of leading edge erosion ... -
Early childhood caries, climate change and the sustainable development goal 13: a scoping review
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024-05-03)Background: Sustainable development goal 13 centres on calls for urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts. The aim of this scoping review was to map the published literature for existing evidence on the ... -
Redefining the Right to Quality Education for Autistic Children Through a Neurodiverse Perspective
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)This article explores the necessity of and requirements for developing a neurodiverse interpretation of the right to quality education for autistic children. While the debates have so far mostly focused on the questions ... -
Recent advances in emerging integrated anticorrosion and antifouling nanomaterial-based coating solutions
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)The rapid progress in the marine industry has resulted in notable challenges related to biofouling and surface corrosion on underwater infrastructure. Conventional coating techniques prioritise individual protective ... -
Environmental drivers of increased ecosystem respiration in a warming tundra
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Arctic and alpine tundra ecosystems are large reservoirs of organic carbon1,2. Climate warming may stimulate ecosystem respiration and release carbon into the atmosphere3,4. The magnitude and persistency of this stimulation ... -
Health complaints before and at one and five years after removal of dental amalgam restorations - data from a prospective cohort study in Norway
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Objective: Health complaints attributed to dental amalgam fillings comprise both intraoral and general health complaints. There are data suggesting that patients with medically unexplained physical symptoms (MUPS) attributed ... -
Non-Gaussian Ensemble Optimization
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Ensemble-based optimization (EnOpt), commonly used in reservoir management, can be seen as a special case of a natural evolution algorithm. Stein’s lemma gives a new interpretation of EnOpt. This interpretation enables us ... -
