“We Tie Up the Loose Ends”: Homecare Nursing in a Changing Health Care Landscape
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)During the last decades, the work of homecare nurses has been affected by several changes, including an aging population, the decentralization of health care, nursing recruitment crises and the scarcity of public resources. ... -
“We use English but not like all the time like.” – Discourse marker like in UAE English
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)The United Arab Emirates (UAE) is characterized by extensive language contact. Although Arabic is the official language, practically all communication in general as well as in higher education, in particular, takes place ... -
We're not in it for the money - lay people's moral intuitions on commercial use of 'their' biobank
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)Great hope has been placed on biobank research as a strategy to improve diagnostics, therapeutics and prevention. It seems to be a common opinion that these goals cannot be reached without the participation of commercial ... -
A weak-scatterer potential flow theory-based model for the hydroelastic analysis of offshore wind turbine substructures
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)This paper examines the hydroelastic response of a monopile structure, supporting an offshore wind turbine. A new numerical simulation tool is presented, coupling a nonlinear potential flow solver to a structural model ... -
Weakening of the cognition and height association from 1957 to 2018: Findings from four British birth cohort studies
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Background: Taller individuals have been repeatedly found to have higher scores on cognitive assessments. Recent studies have suggested that this association can be explained by genetic factors, yet this does not preclude ... -
Weakly nonlinear broadband and multi-directional surface waves on an arbitrary depth: A framework, Stokes drift, and particle trajectories
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Surface gravity waves in coastal waters are broadband and multi-directional, whose quadratic properties are of considerable engineering and scientific interest. Based on a Stokes expansion and an envelope-type framework, ... -
Weakly nonlinear transient waves on a shear current: ring waves and skewed Langmuir rolls
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)We investigate the weakly nonlinear dynamics of transient gravity waves at infinite depth under the influence of a shear current varying linearly with depth. The shear field makes this problem three-dimensional and rotational ... -
Weakly Supervised Framework for Aspect-Based Sentiment Analysis on Students’ Reviews of MOOCs
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Students’ feedback is an effective mechanism that provides valuable insights about teachinglearning process. Handling opinions of students expressed in reviews is a quite labour-intensive and tedious task as it is typically ... -

Weaponized AI for cyber attacks
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Artificial intelligence (AI)-based technologies are actively used for purposes of cyber defense. With the passage of time and with decreasing complexity in implementing AI-based solutions, the usage of AI-based technologies ... -
Wearable Sensing and Quantified-self to explain Learning Experience
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)The confluence of wearable technologies for sensing learners and the quantified-self provides a unique opportunity to understand learners’ experience in diverse learning contexts. We use data from learners using Empatica ... -
Wearable technology and the cardiovascular system: the future of patient assessment
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)The past decade has seen a dramatic rise in consumer technologies able to monitor a variety of cardiovascular parameters. Such devices initially recorded markers of exercise, but now include physiological and health-care ... -
Weather affects temporal niche partitioning between moose and livestock
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Co-existing species at the same trophic level often segregate with respect to diet, habitat use, or spatial distribution, reducing their direct competition for resources. However, temporal patterns in species-specific ... -
Weather optimal dynamic positioning of underactuated AUVs using output feedback control
(Journal article, 2006)In this paper we present an output feedback control system for dynamic positioning of underactuated AUVs. The control objective is to maintain a desired distance to the target while orienting the vehicle towards the target ... -
Weathering Performance of Spruce Coated with Water Based Acrylic Paint Modified with TiO2 and Clay Nanoparticles
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)This work examines the effect of wood specimens coated with water based acrylic coatings modified with TiO2 and clay nanoparticles against weathering strain. The long-term durability of the specimens towards climate strain ... -
Weathering Plastics as a Planetary Boundary Threat: Exposure, Fate, and Hazards
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)We described in 2017 how weathering plastic litter in the marine environment fulfils two of three criteria to impose a planetary boundary threat related to “chemical pollution and the release of novel entities”: (1) ... -
Weaving a strategy for a base-of-the-pyramid market: The case of Grundfos LIFELINK
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)This paper explores the development of strategies by multinational corporations (MNCs) for serving markets at the base of the economic pyramid (BoP). MNCs play an important role in meeting the Sustainable Development ... -
Weaving Partial Stories: More-than-human Entanglements and Environmental Governance Experiments in Indonesia and Papua New Guinea
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Different goals and assumptions enable and legitimise the ways that climate change is understood and governed through increasingly urgent, experimental, and heterogeneous interventions. We examine the ontological politics ... -
