Paper 1Several problems emerge when a paperboard package is modeled by means of the nite element method. One of the issues that one has to deal with is the constitutive model of the paperboard. Paperboard and paper in general areorthotropic materials, which means that constitutive parameters in three orthogonal directions must be determined. Furthermore, the geometry of papersheets makes it dicult

In this paper we understand cities today as commodified spaceswhich must struggle at the intersection of cultural, ideological andhistorical tensions. In order to explore and problematisea contested city brand’s marketing effort, we engage in multiplerounds of in-situ introspective reflections about a racialised city’splace branding material. Based on the two authors’ separate analysesof the same

Paper 1The problem in which a flexible structure interacts with an acoustic fluid is analysed by use of the finite element method. With increasing complexity of the geometry and when increasing the frequency limit is of interest, the number of degrees of freedom needed to describe the system becomes very large. To reduce the coupled system, modal analysis is performed in the structural and in the

Calls for research contribution and demands for original theories have become visibly and audibly louder in review processes over the last two decades. In interpretivist marketing and consumer research, such calls have been accompanied by an emphasis on the importance of theory and on drawing on context when crafting impactful research contributions. By investigating the rhetorical claims made by

Flexitarian and vegetarian diets are of growing interest in France. While the nutritional profiles of individuals with high intakes of plant products are well characterized, exposure to pesticide residues and chemical contaminants are less documented. Moreover, higher consumption of organic products has been associated with higher consumption of plant products. Organic agriculture differs from its

Sustainability is now accounted for in certain food-based dietary guidelines (FBDG). In 2017, the French FBDG were updated to incorporate environmental preservation. We conducted a multi-indicator evaluation of the 2001 and 2017 FBDG, based on data from 28,340 participants in the NutriNet-Santé cohort who completed an organic food frequency questionnaire. Indicators related to nutrition, environme

The EAT-Lancet Commission has recently proposed a “universal” healthy reference diet. However, no study has specifically investigated its possible environmental benefits at the individual level based on observed data. Our objective was therefore to characterize the environmental pressures and impacts related to the level of adherence to the EAT-Lancet diet among French adults. Dietary data from a

Paper 1The field of research involving the analytical modelling of the stiff ness and hygroexpansion of composite material is reviewed. This paper can be regarded as an introduction to the area of the mechanics of composite materials in general and to wood bre composites in particular. The most important models, such as the Reuss and Voigt bounds and the Halpin-Tsai, are described, along with theiPaper 1The eld of research involving the analytical modelling of the stiff ness and hygroexpansion of composite material is reviewed.

Purpose: The purpose of this research is to shed light on the formulation of returns management strategies and identify key returns management components to be considered when developing effective returns management strategies.Design/methodology/approach: A multiple confirmatory case study of six retailers operating in online commerce was carried out. Interviews with 15 managers formed the primary

We are now entering a new era in protein sequence and structure annotation, with hundreds of millions of predicted protein structures made available through the AlphaFold database1. These models cover nearly all proteins that are known, including those challenging to annotate for function or putative biological role using standard homology-based approaches. In this study, we examine the extent to

Objectives: We aimed to examine potential relationships and gender differences between cardiovascular disease (CVD), diabetes, obesity, respiratory-related disorders, and gambling disorder (GD). We hypothesized that (1) GD patients would be more likely than controls to have CVD, diabetes, obesity, and respiratory-related diseases; and (2) females with GD would be more likely than men with GD to ha

A bismuth-germanate (BGO) anti-Compton shield (ACS) for Compex germanium detector modules was designed, built, and characterised. BGO performance was evaluated for light output and energy resolution. The response of the ACS shield and its impact on germanium detector spectra was measured for standard 60Co, 133Ba, and 137Cs sources. The results were compared to comprehensive Geant4 simulations. The

The circulation is a closed system that has been assumed to be free from bacteria, but evidence for the existence of a low-density blood microbiota is accumulating. The present study aimed to map the blood microbiota of outpatients with Crohn’s disease (CD) or with ulcerative colitis (UC) by 16S metagenomics. A diverse microbiota was observed in the blood samples. Regardless of the type of disease

Accountability is a central topic in administrative law. To hold persons and institutions executing public power legally accountable in various ways is linked to ideas of good governance, democracy, legitimacy, and the rule of law. In the last decades, established structures for accountability in the public sector have been challenged through processes of privatization of public services, digitali
