Algorithms are not to be regarded as a technical structure but social phenomenon - they embed themselves, currently still very subtle, into our political and system. shape human behavior on various levels: influence only the aesthetic reception of world also well-being interaction their users. They act intervene in context. As algorithms individual these situations, power should subject critica...

Abstract. Adult stakeholders who work with separated child migrants (SCMs) face a substantial challenge to their capacity or remit care amid increasingly hostile immigration environments. This paper explores diverse range of adult stakeholders' understandings the SCMs, filling an important gap in understanding how is conceptualized by those working often complex and contradictory positions. Dra...

Analytical and experimental results with the Digital Integration Sensor (DIS) imaging concept, including dynamic range extension, are reported in this paper. The “quantized” DIS (qDIS) concept is proposed. The continuum between the conventional CMOS APS, the DIS, the qDIS and the QIS is discussed as a sort of roadmap, along with trades in power and performance enhancement.

Microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC) of mild steel in seawater is an expensive and enduring problem. Little attention has been paid to the role of neutrophilic, lithotrophic, iron-oxidizing bacteria (FeOB) in MIC. The goal of this study was to determine if marine FeOB related to Mariprofundus are involved in this process. To examine this, field incubations and laboratory microcosm exper...

This is a follow-up study to a previous experiment that evaluated the feasibility of a simple monitoring device, Con-Dis, in assessing perceived well-being (PWB) among elderly people. Additionally, in the present study Con-Dis was used at the same time as blood pressure and heart rate monitors and pedometers to see the possible correlation between PWB, blood pressure, heart rate, and time spent...
