In recent years, rising temperatures have contributed to the spread of wildfires globally, including in Norway. Record high temperatures and wildfires are placing increasing pressure on the country's fire and rescue services, highlighting the need for effective wildfire response strategies. This study explores how effective communication, and technological advancements can lead to a more successful ...

Den sikkerhetspolitiske situasjonen er i rask endring og fokus på samfunnssikkerhet og beredskap har kanskje aldri vært større. I 2023 la Totalberedskapskommisjonen frem sin rapport som understreker behovet for økt samarbeid i Norden. Rapporten viser til at vi må styrke samarbeidet for et bedre totalforsvar, samfunnssikkerhet og beredskap ved å jobbe tettere sammen på tvers av landegrensene. Dette ...

Barn og unges deltakelse i kriminelle gjenger i Sverige har blitt et stadig økende problem, og grov vold og drap blant unge har nådd et rekordhøyt nivå. Barn og unge rekrutteres av kriminelle gjenger for å transportere, selge og oppbevare narkotika og våpen, delta i bedragerier og utføre vold. Gjengkriminalitet blant barn og unge er en voksende utfordring i flere områder i Sverige, og ytterligere ...

Atmospheric icing poses significant challenges to infrastructure integrity and transportation safety, especially in mountainous regions such as Fagernesfjellet, Norway. This paper presents a comprehensive case study of in-cloud icing over Fagernesfjellet, leveraging hindcast data obtained through dynamic downscaling with the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model alongside observational data. ...

<p>Algebraic geometry studies the set of common zeros of a system of polynomials in one or several variables - most commonly over algebraically closed fields. Real algebraic geometry studies sets defined by a finite system of polynomial inequalities. <p>A starting point for modern real algebraic geometry can be traced back to Hilbert: In 1888, Hilbert showed the existence of nonnegative polynomials ...

<p>This letter was written in response to the article “Microdosing: A conceptual framework for use as programming strategy for resistance training in team sports”, recently published in the <i>Strength and Conditioning Journal</i>. The article proposes a framework for implementing microdosing of resistance training across several training and competitive contexts and presents a comprehensive proposal ...

In the context of training load monitoring, the most demanding periods of play (MDPs) have increasingly caught the interest of researchers. However, the MDPs analysis is currently embryonic, raising some conceptual and methodological questions. This current opinion synthesizes the methods used for the MDPs analysis while highlighting conceptual and methodological gaps and proposing a broader perspective ...

The utilization of nanofluids (NFs) holds promise for enhancing the thermal efficiency of solar thermal collectors. Among the various NF solutions, red mud (RM) NFs have gained attention due to their effective absorption of solar thermal energy. RM comprises precious metal oxides, making it a proficient medium for direct solar heat absorption. This study aimed to formulate waterbased RM NFs with ...

<p>Large-scale landforms originated from jökulhlaups or glacial lake-outburst floods (GLOFs), and their small-scale components help in recognising the sedimentary environment of the flood. The GLOF fans that developed along the Pleistocene ice-sheet margin have not been investigated in detail, and north-eastern Poland, with its Megaflood Landform System and Bachanowo and Szeszupka fans, seems ideal ...

Deep learning has achieved immense success in computer vision and has the potential to help physicians analyze visual content for disease and other abnormalities. However, the current state of deep learning is very much a black box, making medical professionals skeptical about integrating these methods into clinical practice. Several methods have been proposed to shed some light on these black ...
