Title A name given to the resource Adaptive Evacuation Guidance with Reinforcement Learning Description An account of the resource This research investigates the use of reinforcement learning to provide adaptive indoor evacuation guidance under dynamic congestion and unexpected route disruptions. A pedestrian simulation environment was developed with a Proximal Policy Optimisation (PPO) agent trained to dynamically adjust evacuation routes in response to changing conditions. Experimental results demonstrate a 17.3% reduction in average evacuation time compared with the best fixed-routing baseline, highlighting the potential of reinforcement learning for more responsive and efficient evacuation management.

This paper asks how citizens' experience of dealing with local government changed in the first months after the reform, and who bore the cost of the transition. Because the reform applied everywhere and the 2025 round of PAPI is not yet available, the paper compares PAPI 2024 with a 2026 telephone survey drawn from PAPI's own respondent lists, under eight explicit comparison rules, and draws on a 2025 review of the e-service portals and the government's SIPAS 2025 survey. Use of the national portal rose from 13.8% to 21.8% of respondents, although part of the rise may be former users of the closed provincial portals moving across. Satisfaction with administrative procedures fell, most of all for land-use certificates, which moved from the districts to the communes, and the share of applicants who had to visit several offices roughly tripled for ordinary commune procedures. Older, poorer and rural citizens are far less likely to use the portal, and so depend most on an in-person route that became more fragmented after the reform. Official counts of online applications can overstate citizens' own use, because in some places officials have been applying and paying on citizens' behalf.

This study compared the Frugal spirometer with Vitalograph using existing data from patients with asthma in Ghana. Records from 38 patients were reviewed, and 21 had complete, same-day measurements before bronchodilator medication, with Frugal readings passing the recorded software checks. We compared forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) and peak expiratory flow (PEF) using Bland–Altman analysis, intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs) and paired t-tests with Benjamini–Hochberg adjustment. Repeatability was assessed in 15 patients using the coefficient of variation, which expresses variation in repeated readings relative to their mean. FEV1 and PEF showed encouraging agreement, with ICCs of 0.858 and 0.757, respectively. Neither showed a statistically significant mean difference after adjustment (p = 0.271 and p = 0.298). Frugal FVC averaged 0.393 L higher than Vitalograph (adjusted p = 0.014), with 95% limits of agreement from −0.714 to +1.499 L. On average, repeated FVC and FEV1 readings were more consistent with Vitalograph. Differences in the number of repeats and available information on test quality limited this comparison. Vitalograph PEF repeatability data were unavailable. These findings support further development of the Frugal spirometer, with encouraging results for FEV1 and PEF. FVC agreement and repeatability remain priorities for improvement. Non-significant p-values do not establish equivalence, and further validation is needed before the devices can be considered interchangeable.

The OPS (Oxford Parallel library for Structured mesh solvers) DSL demonstrates this by analysing iterative stencil loops and generating deeply pipelined FPGA designs with domain-specific optimisations. The current OPS FPGA backend implements these optimisations through a custom code-generation pipeline, but embeds compiler logic directly within the code generator rather than using an explicit intermediate representation. Multi-Level Intermediate Representation (MLIR) provides a more structured approach, allowing programs to be represented and progressively lowered between abstraction levels while making the compiler more maintainable and extensible. This research aims to investigate MLIR-based lowering strategies for OPS stencil applications targeting FPGAs, exploring existing infrastructure and how it could be extended to support a broader range of applications.

This paper will argue that it is neither autonomous nor green, but an extractive socio-technical system mapped on historical capitalist and colonial foundations, best understood and presented as digital coloniality. Drawing on court records, the Fairwork assessment of Sama, a GDPR reverse-audit conducted with African data workers and peer-reviewed scholarship, this paper will examine how algorithmic management, precarity and psychological harm discipline workers and why participation in AI supply chains, is not equivalent to development. This paper will show workers contesting this system through litigation and data access requests but finds that these tools expose its foundations without dismantling them. It will conclude that said harm must be confronted before it becomes visible.
