The transition to a circular economy is transforming retail as we know it. Circular services, such as repair and resale, are becoming an increasingly important part of retail. In this transformation, retail stores are assuming a new role as circular logistics hubs. However, retail stores, traditionally configured for standardized and efficient product flows, must now reconfigure to the new product

In this paper, we present the development of a closed-loop drug delivery system for heart rate up-regulation in a novel ex vivo setup for functional evaluation of donor hearts. Such up-regulation is required to enable physiological testing aimed at supporting transplant decision-making. Clinical constraints prioritize safety over setpoint tracking performance. Accordingly, we develop a minimal dyn

Background Physical assistive robots are increasingly promoted in rehabilitation. However, it remains unclear how and for whom, physical assistive robots move from laboratory prototypes into rehabilitation practice, and whether this transition mitigates or reproduces existing inequalities in access to rehabilitation. Objective To examine how moral reasoning and institutional arrangements shape who

BACKGROUND: Spinal cord injury (SCI) may, and often does, profoundly reshape daily life, altering physical abilities, social roles, and personal identities. While assistive technologies, including assistive robotics, are often framed as solutions to re-establish independence, their adoption is shaped by practical, emotional, and social considerations as well as functional qualities. Individuals wi

Under en inventering av djurlivet i Lunds universitets Botaniska trädgårds växthus påträffades i januari 1982 40 st olika arter. Av dessa var mer än hälften av utländskt ursprung och har sannolikt ursprungligen medföljt växtsändningar från andra växthus. Två gråsuggor (Armadillidium nasutum och Trichorhina monocellata) har troligtvis ej tidigare blivit funna i Sverige. Uppgifter ges om de påträffa

This article examines how intensive care staff navigated the emotional and temporal complexities of the COVID-19 pandemic, drawing on qualitative data from two Swedish ICUs. Rather than treating emotional responses as secondary reactions to crisis, the analysis shows that emotions were deeply embedded in professional feeling rules, organizational hierarchies, and the poly-temporal unfolding of the

Schíma – morphḗ – íchos (shape, form, sound) is a reactive installation-performance that brings together visual, physical and sonic dimensions to explore ways of coping with a changing environment. The work consists of up to nine sculptures made from metal by Eleni-Ira Panourgia. Each of these sculptural objects are digitally augmented by a Raspberry Pi computer and a 9DOF sensing system crafted b

Electric power systems are undergoing significant transformations as more sectors in society are electrified and new electric power generation from solar and wind is added to the grid. The growing share of renewable generation is expected to influence the dynamic behaviour of power systems, creating a need to develop new control strategies for power systems. This thesis investigates robust and opt

schíma morphe íchos [shape, form, sound] (SMI) is a reactive performance that brings together sound with visual and physical structures to explore ways of coping with a changing environment. Sculptures made by artist Eleni-Ira Panourgia are digitally augmented by a 9DOF sensing system crafted by Martin Parker. Connected together via a router and sending movement data to sound-generating, ambisonic

Cet article expose la perspective d’un field recording basé sur la notion de fictions soniques pour examiner une réalité de l’environnement de manière protéiforme et nous conduit ici à envisager, à travers l’expérience du son, à quel point celle-ci nous permet d’agir sur les espaces et leurs représentations. La fiction sonique désigne une capacité à façonner des mondes fantastiques et virtuels par

This third issue of Airea presents a second round of articles in response to our call for contributions 'Revisiting interdisciplinarity within collaborative and participatory creative practice', announced in June 2019. Following the second issue that showcased contributions from sound-related areas, the present collection focuses on the breadth of practices in art and design. The contributions in

The petroculture literature shows how fossil fuels have profoundly shaped modern cultures. This study introduces the concept of green petroculture to describe a cultural phase in which environmentally motivated solutions remain rooted in petrocultural ways of thinking and acting. Analysing the Swedish oil corporation Preem’s tall oil production, we examine how corporate sustainability strategies s

Over the past two decades, collaboration has emerged as a keyword and an important methodological and ethical concern in various disciplines, which has nurtured interdisciplinary approaches that often encompass innovative processes of knowledge production. In sonic practice, trends such as participatory art, the workshop turn, and ideas of Do-It-With-Others contributed to the emergence of creative

This article explores the possibility of creating alternative user experience in exhibition spaces while using audience interactivity as medium for generating sonic material. We are investigating participatory art in museum space, ways for redefining audiences, and how artistic logic can be articulated through an encounter with the public. Inspired by the “ArtLens” mobile application developed by

The plethora and availability of digital tools and practices have transformed the ways art is created, perceived and disseminated. This had a distinct impact on how research is conducted across the arts and humanities as a whole from practice-led to process-focused and people-centred research. Airea’s first issue “Computational tools and digital methods in creative practices” germinated from a ser
