Evidence-based design (EBD) for architecture involves the study of post-occupancy behaviour of building users with the aim to provide an empirical basis for improving building performance [Hamilton and Watkins 2009]. Within EBD, the high-level, qualitative analysis of the embodied visuo-locomotive experience of representative groups of building users (e.g., children, senior citizens, individuals f

Copper complexes supported by benzimidazole-based tetradentate neutral ligands featuring thio- and selenoether donors, resemble the coordination environment of the active site in copper dependent monooxygenases Dopamine-β-monooxygenase (DβM) and peptidylglycine-α-hydroxylating monooxygenase (PHM). The cuprous complexes react with O2 at low temperature generating a reactive copper-oxygen species as

Changing rainfall patterns make farmers increasingly vulnerable to crop failure, income loss and food insecurity. Agroecology is proposed to reduce climate vulnerabilities of farmers, as such practices and social movement aim to create more resilient farm and food systems. It is however fairly unknown if, and to what extent, agroecological farmers are better able to cope with climate induced expos

The physical layer foundations of cell-free massive MIMO (CF-mMIMO) have been well-established. As a next step, researchers are investigating practical and energy-efficient network implementations. This paper focuses on multiple sets of access points (APs) where user equipments (UEs) are served in each set, termed a federation, without inter-federation interference. The combination of federations

Aims: Superficial CD34-positive fibroblastic tumour (SCD34FT) is an uncommon but distinctive low-grade neoplasm of the skin and subcutis that shows frequent CADM3 expression by immunohistochemistry (IHC). In this study, prompted by an index case resembling ‘atypical fibrous histiocytoma (FH)’ that was positive for CADM3 IHC, we systematically examined a cohort of tumours previously diagnosed as ‘a

INTRODUCTION: Unraveling how Alzheimer's disease (AD) genetic risk is related to neuropathological heterogeneity, and whether this occurs through specific biological pathways, is a key step toward precision medicine. METHODS: We computed pathway-specific genetic risk scores (GRSs) in non-demented individuals and investigated how AD risk variants predict cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and imaging biomar

A novel flamelet-generated manifold (FGM) model is introduced, encompassing ignition and flame propagation in ammonia/n-heptane dual-fuel combustion under reactivity-controlled compression ignition (RCCI) engine conditions. To generate the FGM mapping function (FGM tabulation) accounting for multiple combustion modes in RCCI combustion, a novel one-dimensional RCCI configuration (1D-RC) is propose

Introduction: Digital options for osteoarthritis (OA) treatment are increasingly available with high patient satisfaction and acceptability. Little is, however, known about physical therapists’ (PT) perception of this treatment modality. Objective: To investigate PT’s experience of delivering digital treatment for hip and knee OA using a smart-phone application. Method: Nine PTs (mean age 36 years

B lymphopoiesis is orchestrated by lineage-specific transcription factors. In B cell progenitors, lineage commitment is mediated by Pax5, which is commonly mutated in B cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Despite its essential role in immunity, the mechanisms regulating Pax5 function remain largely unknown. Here, we found that the NAD+-dependent enzyme SIRT7 coordinates B cell development through d

This article responds to the general neglect of legal culture in the study of climate mobilities. It presents a case study of climate mobilities in an unplanned settlement in Maputo, Mozambique, exploring how legal culture influenced residents’ decision-making processes as they navigated climate-related risks in their daily lives. We demonstrate that legal culture can facilitate climate mobilities

The Swedish Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (SCND) fought the military’s plans to acquire Swedish nuclear weapons and protested the nuclear arms race, 1961–1967. This article presents SCND’s ideological orientation by focusing on temporalities. SCND saw the Second World War as a decisive event and tried to avert a crisis and a dystopia by manifesting remembrance of past nuclear detonations, and b

Background: Insects often show adaptive phenotypic plasticity where environmental cues during early stages are used to produce a phenotype that matches the environment experienced by adults. Many tropical satyrine butterflies (Nymphalidae: Satyrinae) are seasonally polyphenic and produce distinct wet- and dry-season form adults, providing tight environment-phenotype matching in seasonal environmen

The year 2015 marked a rupture in the post-war development of refugee reception and integration policies in Sweden. This rupture involved both a radical change in refugee policy and practice, and a rupture in the long-held collective self-image of Sweden as a country with generous reception and integration policies (Scarpa & Schierup 2018). This article responds to the question of how social wThe year 2015 marked a rupture in the post-war development of refugee reception and integration policies in Sweden.

Scholarship in peace and conflict studies is paying increasing attention to the role of the environment for conflict transformation and peacebuilding. However, a closer analysis on how different understandings of “nature” implicate policy proposals and approaches to peacebuilding is lacking. In this study, we provide a critical reflection on the diverse understandings and valuations of nature at t
