Stochastic simulation modeling of the economics of providing additional living space for housed dairy cows by Jake S. Thompson, Chris D. Hudson, Jon N. Huxley, Jasmeet Kaler, Martin J. Green

“…When building a new shed with a high living space versus control at a 4.00% interest rate, a median net return on infrastructure investment of +£23.00 per cow per year was identified (range –£25.91 to +£64.16 for 10th to 90th percentile). Since decreased living space is likely to lead to poorer welfare, it can be considered a negative production externality associated with current production systems, the cost of which should also be accounted for when analyzing the economics of housing. …”

Women’s health and maternal care services: seizing missed opportunities to prevent and manage preterm birth by Bo Jacobsson, Jennifer Harris Requejo, Teesta Dey, Tina Lavin, Margaret Titty Mannah, Ramkumar Menon, Catalina Valencia, Gaurav Sharma, Andrew Shennan, Elham Shakibazadeh, Pisake Lumbiganon, Sarah Bar-Zeev, Sue Steen, Angela Nguku, Hiromi Obara, Lisa Noguchi, Pius Okong, Sanjukta Amrita Singh, Jane Sandall, Anna Gruending, Zahida Qureshi, Joshua P. Vogel

“…Achieving this and integrating these service packages into universal health coverage strategies requires collaboration across government leaders, civil society members, private sector actors, and development partners. Increasing coverage of antenatal care, institutional delivery, and postnatal care represents an opportunity to improve the quality of care provided during those service contacts including through the provision of interventions that address modifiable risk factors for preterm birth such as prevention and treatment of infections, poor nutritional status, and substance use. …”

The Evaluation of GenAI Capabilities to Implement Professional Tasks by Yaroslav Kouzminov, Ekaterina Kruchinskaia

“…In this way we conceptualize the most recent problem of LLMs as the general trend of mistakes even in the core of knowledge and non-causality of mistake via the complexity of question, as the mistake can be named as an accident and be everywhere as the most limitation of professionalism. At their current stage of development, LLMs are not widely used in a professional context, nor have they replaced human workers. …”

Japan’s Economy: Reforms and Growth Strategies by Yana Valeryevna Dyomina, Marina Gamilovna Mazitova

“…The authors identified problems that led to a long period of stagnation and did not allow the economy to grow. Thus, in the context of globalization and digitalization, the export-oriented model of the Japanese economy with the dominant role of the state and a rigid corporate structure did not provide a quick and adequate response to new challenges of the global competitive environment. …”
