Optimization in liner industry with new sulphur cap regulation by Yan, Zirui

“…To meet the fixed schedule and certain demand, there could be more than twenty vessels deployed in one service. For a big container shipping companies such as Maersk, they operate dozens of services and hundreds of vessels, so it is too costly and risky to adopt only one option for all the vessels in order to comply with the low sulphur regulation. …”

Reframing stigma in Tourette syndrome: an updated scoping review by Pring, K, Malli, M, Hardy, BW, Rapp, SR, Storch, EA, Mink, JW, Martindale, JM

“…The studies were examined under the social–ecological stigmatization model, which helps categorize stigmatization into individual, interpersonal, community, and structural levels and serves as a broader definition of stigmatization than the previous systematic review. On the individual level, youth with PTD had lower self-esteem than peers, often leading to fear of future stigmatization, avoidant behaviors, and self-stigmatization. …”
