Huidige olie- en gascrisis is ernstiger dan die van 1973, 1979 en 2022 samen, zegt IEA-baas
Al eerder luidde de directeur van het Internationaal Energie Agentschap (IEA) de noodklok, maar vandaag doet hij het nog wat luider en met extra urgentie, voor het geval de boodschap nog niet was aangekomen. De huidige olie- en gascrisis, veroorzaakt door de Iraanse blokkade van de Straat van Hormuz, is „ernstiger dan de crises van 1973, 1979 en 2022 bij elkaar”, zegt Fatih Birol vandaag in een…

Why Covid-19 will never become endemic
For most of the pandemic Australia has worked to contain the virus through evidence-based public health measures such as border closures, case finding, contact tracing, quarantine, social distancing, vaccines and, at times, lockdown. Sadly, the weaponisation of lockdown as a pointscoring issue and emotional trigger has led to a conflation of lockdown with all other public health measures, most of which do not impinge on freedoms. Denial is a major theme during the pandemic.

Abstract: WikiKG90Mv2 in NeurIPS 2022 is a large encyclopedic knowledge graph. Embedding knowledge graphs into continuous vector spaces is important for many practical applications, such as knowledge acquisition, question answering, and recommendation systems. Compared to existing knowledge graphs, WikiKG90Mv2 is a large scale knowledge graph, which is composed of more than 90 millions of entities. Both efficiency and accuracy should be considered when building graph embedding models for knowledge graph at scale. To this end, we follow the retrieve then re-rank pipeline, and make novel modifications in both retrieval and re-ranking stage. Specifically, we propose a priority infilling retrieval model to obtain candidates that are structurally and semantically similar. Then we propose an ensemble based re-ranking model with neighbor enhanced representations to produce final link prediction results among retrieved candidates. Experimental results show that our proposed method outperforms existing baseline methods and improves MRR of validation set from 0.2342 to 0.2839.

Tree planting can combat urban heat, but some neighborhoods are falling behind
Sydney communities may be missing out on crucial tree planting projects intended to combat urban heat, leaving western and eastern parts of Greater Sydney with less protection from extreme heat, a University of Sydney-led study has revealed. In a surprising finding, the researchers found that while Greater Sydney's total tree canopy increased by 4.2% from 1.514 billion square meters to 1.578 billion square meters between 2016 and 2022, this growth was not evenly distributed.

Malaysia lost 20% of its coral reefs in three years
Malaysia’s coral reefs are shrinking at a pace that is hard to ignore. According to the latest national survey by Reef Check Malaysia, about one-fifth of the country’s coral cover has been lost since 2022, a decline compressed into just three years. What had been gradual erosion now looks more like a slide. The 2025 […]
