The external environment has traditionally been considered as the primary driver of animal life history (LH). Recent research suggests that animals' internal state is also involved, especially in forming LH behavioural phenotypes. The present study investigated how these two factors interact in formulating LH in humans. Based on a longitudinal sample of 1223 adolescents in nine countries, the results show that harsh and unpredictable environments and adverse internal states in childhood are each uniquely associated with fast LH behavioural profiles consisting of aggression, impulsivity, and risk-taking in adolescence. The external environment and internal state each strengthened the LH association of the other, but overall the external environment was more predictive of LH than was the internal state. These findings suggest that individuals rely on a multitude and consistency of sensory information in more decisively calibrating LH and behavioural strategies.

Multispectral imaging (MSI) enables non-invasive tissue differentiation based on spectral characteristics and has shown great potential as a tool for surgical guidance. However, adapting MSI to open surgeries is challenging. Systems that rely on light sources present in the operating room experience limitations due to frequent lighting changes, which distort the spectral data and require countermeasures such as disruptive recalibrations.

The cockpit is evolving from passive, reactive interaction toward proactive, cognitive interaction, making precise predictions of driver intent a key factor in enhancing proactive interaction experiences. This paper introduces Cockpit-Llama, a novel language model specifically designed for predicting driver behavior intent. Cockpit-Llama predicts driver intent based on the relationship between current driver actions, historical interactions, and the states of the driver and cockpit environment, thereby supporting further proactive interaction decisions.

With the rise in the intelligence levels of automated vehicles, increasing numbers of modules of automated driving systems are being combined to achieve better performance and adaptability by reducing information loss. In this study, an integrated decision and motion planning system is designed for multi-object highways. A two-layer structure is presented to decouple the influence of the traffic environment and the dynamic control of ego vehicles using the cognitive safety area, the size of which is determined by naturalistic driving behavior.

Are the regulations relating to electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) sufficient to ensure the safety of all autonomy systems? EMC is one of the critical factors influencing the proper functioning of a vehicle and its safety. However, the safety of autonomous vehicles from the perspective of EMC has not been comprehensively researched to date. The purpose of this article is to evaluate whether the currently imposed requirements are adequate.

Background: The global rise in obesity has been significantly influenced by shifts in dietary habits that have been exacerbated by external factors such as the COVID-19 pandemic. This study aims to analyze the trends in Romanian dietary habits from 2015 to 2023, focusing on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the role of socio-economic factors, seasonality, and cultural practices.
Methods: For dietary habits, we used nationally representative data from the Romanian Household Budget Survey provided by the Romanian National Institute of Statistics.
