Whistleblowing is a topic of interest that has attracted great global attention from various stakeholders in many countries worldwide including the United Kingdom. At its core, whistleblowing has been established as one of the most effective ways to tackle unethical practices, fraud, an...

The Effect of Systemic Racism and Homophobia on Police Enforcement and Sexual and Emotional Violence among Sex Workers in East London: Findings from a Cohort Study See

There is extensive qualitative evidence of violence and enforcement impacting sex workers who are ethnically or racially minoritized, and gender or sexual minority sex workers, but there is little quantitative evidence. Baseline and follow-up data were collected among 288 sex workers of ...

The impact of policing and homelessness on violence experienced by women who sell sex in London: a modelling study See

Street-based sex workers experience considerable homelessness, drug use and police enforcement, making them vulnerable to violence from clients and other perpetrators. We used a deterministic compartmental model of street-based sex workers in London to estimate whether displacement by police and ...

A Critical Review of Substance-Use Services for Individuals Engaged in the Sex Industry Through In-Person Work See

The influence of boundary conditions and interfacial slip on the time taken to achieve a nonequilibrium steady-state for boundary-driven flows See

In this study, we investigate the equilibration time to attain steady-state for a system of liquid molecules under boundary-driven planar Couette flow via nonequilibrium molecular dynamics (NEMD) simulation. In particular, we examine the equilibration time for the two common types of boundar...

Insects as models to study burn wound infection and wound microbiome See

Burns are one of the most common and morbid of injury types. It leads to a multitude of complications, of which burn wound infection is the leading cause of mortality among burn patients. Due to the complexity of burn wound trauma and infection it cannot be accuratel...

Development of systematic uncertainty-aware neural network trainings for binned-likelihood analyses at the LHC See

We propose a neural network training method capable of accounting for the effects of systematic variations of the data model in the training process and describe its extension towards neural network multiclass classification. The procedure is evaluated on the realistic case of the ...

Determination of the spin and parity of all-charm tetraquarks See

The traditional quark model [references (refs 1,2) accounts for the existence of baryons, such as protons and neutrons, which consist of three quarks, as well as mesons, composed of a quark–antiquark pair. Only recently has substantial evidence started to accumulate for exotic states&#x...
