Background: In the context of mechanized timber harvesting, alterations in technical parameters, such as skidding distance and terrain slope, have the potential to influence the productivity and production costs associated with the self-propelled gra...
The Himalaya is one of the major mountain ecosystems that is most likely to be impacted by climate change. The main drawback in understanding climate change in the remote Himalayan ecosystems is the lack of long-term instrumental climate records. Rec...
Background/Objectives: The transition from theoretical knowledge to clinical practice poses significant challenges for nursing students globally. This critical period requires comprehensive educational support to build confidence and competence. Whil...
International oil price forecasting is a complex and important issue in the research area of energy economy. In this paper, a new model based on web-based sentiment analysis is proposed. For the oil market, sentiment analysis is used to extract key i...
Marine heatwaves (MHWs) are changing global ecosystems and bearing profound socio-economic impacts, yet our understanding of the spatial features, temporal evolution characteristics, and regional differences in China’s marginal seas remains ins...
Many financial and economic time series exhibit nonlinear patterns or relationships. However, most statistical methods for time series analysis are developed for mean-stationary processes that require transformation, such as differencing of the data....

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic hit the world with severe health consequences, affecting some populations more than others. One understudied population is the academic community. This study, part of a larger project looking at COVID-19 in Sweden an...
Background: Bilateral osteoarthritis of the knee is an indication for a bilateral total knee replacement (TKR) procedure. The goal of our study was to assess the sizes of the implants used during the first and second stages of TKR procedures in order...
With the proliferation of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and the escalating electromagnetic environment in space, there has been growing attention and research focus on the strong electromagnetic effects and electromagnetic protection design of UAVs...
The aim of this work is to study generalizations of the notion of the mean. Kolmogorov proposed a generalization based on an improper integral with a decay rate for the tail probabilities. This weak or Kolmogorov mean relates to the weak law of large...

Aims: This study aimed to describe and understand the individual and social dimensions of resiliency among Iranian academics as professionals during the early wave of the ongoing pandemic. Furthermore, we aimed to emphasize the cultural context in ou...
Fractional-order dynamic systems, due to their long memory and nonlocality, have significant advantages in describing the dynamic behavior of complex engineering systems. However, existing identification methods often struggle to balance modeling acc...
In this article, we hold a strong thesis, i.e., that light is the conceptual resource that best explains the creative act in Thomas Aquinas’s metaphysics. Thus, inasmuch as being is the luminous act of the Uncreated Being, it bears resemblance...
The strong predictable representation property of semi-martingales and the notion of enlargement of filtration meet naturally in modeling financial markets, and theoretical problems arise. Here, first, we illustrate some of them through classical exa...
Purpose: To quantify real-time hand–foot coupling in tennis and test whether the coupling pattern differs by playing standard. Methods: Fifteen nationally certified second-level male athletes and fifteen recreational beginners performed multi-directi...

Previous accounting studies indicate that union strength is positively related to income smoothing and that management is more likely to smooth income when labor power is strong. Researchers debate about whether income smoothing has either a garbling...
Homogeneous random fractals form a probabilistic generalisation of self-similar sets with more dependencies than in random recursive constructions. Under the Uniform Strong Open Set Condition we show that the mean D-dimensional (average) Minkowski co...
