The rural risk of digital exclusion: A case study of municipal digital health and social care services in Denmark by Barbara Fersch, Egon Bjørnshave Noe, Annette Aagaard Thuesen, Beate Langer

“…Digital solutions have the potential to contribute to a stronger inclusion of the rural population in health and welfare services in times of a more scattered infrastructure. However, in Denmark where there is a strong push towards a digitalization of these services, the demographic profile of the rural population, being older and with lower levels of education, implies that a large part of the population in digitally vulnerable positions resides here. …”

Thermal Spectra of Warped and Broken Accretion Disks by J. Speicher, O. Blaes

“…Due to self-irradiation and the projected area of the inclined disk regions, the spectra of inclined disks significantly deviate from multicolor blackbodies and do not follow the multicolor blackbody relation νL _ν  ∝  ν ^γ  =  ν ^4/3 at low frequencies ν . The power-law indices at low frequencies of the inclined disks vary with viewing angle; when viewed face-on, they vary between γ  ≈ 0.91 and 1.26 for the warped disks and γ  ≈ 1.37–1.54 for the broken disks depending on the inclination angle. …”
