In this thesis we will establish a fast exact algorithm to simulate the first-passage event of a tempered stable subordinator across a non-decreasing boundary. We then create an algorithm for more general class of subordinators based on the tempered stable one. The first-passage event plays an important role in the representation of the solution of fractional partial differential equations. We construct approximate solutions via Monte Carlo simulations and represent the upper bound of errors between the exact solution and the Monte Carlo estimation for a special case.

Despite the challenges that transgressive materials may present in the classroom, scholars in feminist pedagogy have argued they can be a productive tool to raise students' awareness about certain issues of social significance. Yet, additional challenges occur when it comes to address-ing the practice of feminist translation of transgressive texts, not least due to the lack of consen-sus about what feminist translation strategies are or how they can be successfully applied. In this article, I shall discuss my teaching experience delivering the module "Gender and Transla-tion in the Hispanic World: Translating Women Writers", in which translation serves a two-fold purpose: first, to introduce women writers from the Caribbean, Equatorial Guinea, Latin Ameri-ca and Spain; and second, to enable productive debates on the ideological role of the translator, taking advantage of the opportunities provided by digital technology today.

AimsThe management of fractures of the medial epicondyle is one of the greatest controversies in paediatric fracture care, with uncertainty concerning the need for surgery. The British Society of Children's Orthopaedic Surgery prioritized this as their most important research question in paediatric trauma. This is the protocol for a randomized controlled, multicentre, prospective superiority trial of operative fixation versus nonoperative treatment for displaced medial epicondyle fractures: the Surgery or Cast of the EpicoNdyle in Children's Elbows (SCIENCE) trial.MethodsChildren aged seven to 15 years old inclusive, who have sustained a displaced fracture of the medial epicondyle, are eligible to take part. Baseline function using the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) upper limb score, pain measured using the Wong Baker FACES pain scale, and quality of life (QoL) assessed with the EuroQol five-dimension questionnaire for younger patients (EQ-5D-Y) will be collected. Each patient will be randomly allocated (1:1, stratified using a minimization algorithm by centre and initial elbow dislocation status (i.e. dislocated or not-dislocated at presentation to the emergency department)) to either a regimen of the operative fixation or non-surgical treatment.OutcomesAt six weeks, and three, six, and 12 months, data on function, pain, sports/music participation, QoL, immobilization, and analgesia will be collected. These will also be repeated annually until the child reaches the age of 16 years. Four weeks after injury, the main outcomes plus data on complications, resource use, and school absence will be collected. The primary outcome is the PROMIS upper limb score at 12 months post-randomization. All data will be obtained through electronic questionnaires completed by the participants and/or parents/guardians. The NHS number of participants will be stored to enable future data linkage to sources of routinely collected data (i.e. Hospital Episode Statistics).Cite this article: Bone Jt Open 2024;5(1):69–77.

The United Nations launched sustainable development goals in 2015 that include goals for sustainable energy. From global energy consumption, households consume 20–30% of energy in Europe, North America and Asia; furthermore, the overall global energy consumption has steadily increased in the recent decades. Consequently, to meet the increased energy demand and to promote efficient energy consumption, there is a persistent need to develop applications enhancing utilization of energy in buildings. However, despite the potential significance of AI in this area, few surveys have systematically categorized these applications. Therefore, this paper presents a systematic review of the literature, and then creates a novel taxonomy for applications of smart building energy utilization. The contributions of this paper are (a) a systematic review of applications and machine learning methods for smart building energy utilization, (b) a novel taxonomy for the applications, (c) detailed analysis of these solutions and techniques used for the applications (electric grid, smart building energy management and control, maintenance and security, and personalization), and, finally, (d) a discussion on open issues and developments in the field.
