A Hybrid Approach Based on Variational Mode Decomposition for Analyzing and Predicting Urban Travel Speed by Eui-Jin Kim, Ho-Chul Park, Seung-Young Kho, Dong-Kyu Kim

“…Predicting travel speeds on urban road networks is a challenging subject due to its uncertainty stemming from travel demand, geometric condition, traffic signals, and other exogenous factors. This uncertainty appears as nonlinearity, nonstationarity, and volatility in traffic data, and it also creates a spatiotemporal heterogeneity of link travel speed by interacting with neighbor links. …”

Cross-sectional survey on public attitudes and factors related to physician-assisted dying in Taiwan by Kevin Chien-Chang Wu, Chun-Tung Kuo, Duan-Rung Chen

“…Support for PAD was associated with factors including younger age, male gender, lack of religious affiliation, a non-healthcare professional background, employment as a formal caregiver, lack of awareness of PRAA and higher preparedness in ACP.Conclusions The results indicate a potential cultural shift in Taiwan towards greater emphasis on individual autonomy in end-of-life decisions. There appears to be significant public support for developing legal frameworks in favour of PAD, carefully considering the psychosocial factors that highlight the importance of individual rights in end-of-life care.…”
