The article proposes a predictive control strategy for Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEVs) that utilizes route information from digital map providers to enable electric driving within zero-emission zones. The study develops a supervisory control with Dynamic Programming in the cloud to calculate an optimal State of Charge (SOC) trajectory, which is then used to guide the rule-based controller in the vehicle.

Lifestyle factors, including physical activity, dietary patterns, sleep, stress response, social connections, and use of risky substances, are increasingly recognized as predictors of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and cardiovascular health, with significant overlap between the American Heart Association's Life's Essential 8 guidelines and the 6 pillars of Lifestyle Medicine (LM). Assessing and addressing lifestyle factors have a foundational role in the prevention and management of cardiovascular disease and improving cardiovascular health.

Objective: In several countries, including the United States and United Kingdom, screening tests are conducted on men 65 years of age or older who smoke to diagnose abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) before rupture. In women, however, the incidence of AAA is low, so screening tests are not cost effective and therefore not recommended. Early detection and treatment of AAA are important for women as they face a four times higher risk of rupture and worse surgery outcomes compared with men.

Motherhood holds great importance in women's transition to adulthood in India, where childlessness is often perceived as an inability to conceive and experienced as a failure. However, with globalization and declining fertility rates, family dynamics are shifting, and childlessness appears as an evolving reality beyond biomedical challenges related to procreation. This research aims to investigate whether there are indications of an emerging category of women forgoing motherhood for reasons beyond a lack of reproductive agency.

Employment is widely considered a key coping strategy for women against the economic burden of divorce. However, few studies have explored how women adjust their labor supply across the divorce process, particularly considering the moderating role of children's presence and age. This study uses longitudinal data from the German Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP) from 1984 to 2021 in an event-study approach with fixed effects regressions and an extended control group design. This design allows group-specific age trends to be controlled for in moderation analyses.

This study investigates the family trajectories of young women in Mexico and Colombia, analysing changes across three birth cohorts and examining the evolving relationship between educational attainment and family trajectories. Utilizing data from the Colombian Demographic and Health Survey (DHS) and the Mexican Encuesta Nacional de la Dinámica Demográfica (ENADID), the study encompasses retrospective partnership and childbearing histories for 45,683 women.
