Criminal activities are predominantly due to males, with females exhibiting a significantly lower involvement, especially in serious offenses. This pattern extends to organized crime, where females are often perceived as less tolerant to illegal …
We examine the dynamics of a system influenced by a backbone structure, incorporating linear non-local terms that account for both irreversible and reversible processes, such as absorption and adsorption--desorption. Additionally, we introduce …
Quantitative analysis of visual arts has recently expanded to encompass a more extensive array of artworks due to the availability of large-scale digitized art collections. Consistent with formal analyses by art historians, many of these studies …
From the analytical perspective, we investigate the diffusion processes that arise from a system composed of a surface with a backbone structure coupled to the bulk via the boundary conditions. The problem is formulated in terms of diffusion …
Inter-city interactions are critical for the transmission of infectious diseases, yet their effects on the scaling of disease cases remain largely underexplored. Here, we use the commuting network as a proxy for inter-city interactions, integrating …
Amid growing urbanization, the 15-minute city model seeks to transform city living by ensuring essential services are just a short walk away. New research now quantitatively measures this urban ideal, revealing significant disparities in access …
In recent years, digital games have become increasingly present in people’s lives both as a leisure activity or in gamified activities of everyday life. Despite this growing presence, large-scale, data-driven analyses of video games remain a small …
Permutation entropy and its associated frameworks are remarkable examples of physics-inspired techniques adept at processing complex and extensive datasets. Despite substantial progress in developing and applying these tools, their use has been …
Power law scaling models have been used to understand the complexity of systems as diverse as cities, neurological activity, and rainfall and lightning. In the scaling framework, power laws and standard linear regression methods are widely used to …
Tasks of different nature and difficulty levels are a part of people’s lives. In this context, there is a scientific interest in the relationship between the difficulty of the task and the persistence need to accomplish it. Despite the generality of …
