Mental imagery allows us to simulate events and experiences and plays a crucial role in language comprehension. Vividness, defined as the subjective richness and clarity of these simulations, varies across individuals and contexts. Whether mental imagery vividness decreases when processing in a non-native (L2) compared to a native (L1) language remains debated (Montero-Melis et al., 2020). Reducti
This paper proposes the concept ‘necropolitics of peacebuilding’ to analyse how contemporary geographies of peace and post-war violence are shaped by the articulation of race, space, politics and the coloniality of power. We explore how post-conflict programmes, plans and policies shape the uneven distribution of life and death, focussing in particular on the elimination of indigenous leaders. Dra
This paper extends research on geographies of ageing in relation to urban academic and policy debates. We illustrate how older people in urban African contexts deploy their agency through social and spatial (im)mobilities, intergenerational relations and (inter)dependencies. Through doing so, we reveal how urban contexts shape, and are shaped by, older people’s tactics for seizing opportunities an
Most research on issues of (in)security has tended to have a military/safety angle and focus on global/national scales linked to spectacular events. This paper addresses the overlooked insecurity realities of urban dwellers in the global South through a focus on more persistent and enduring forms of employment insecurities among young people. Building on both quantitative and qualitative data coll
Despite an increased focus on entrepreneurship as a means of promoting development, there has been limited discussion of the conceptual and methodological issues related to researching entrepreneurship in low-income countries. Drawing on experiences from Uganda, this paper presents a study of entrepreneurship conducted in a low-income settlement, which combined participatory quantitative and quali
The 'street' and 'youth' have long been issues of social concern and the subject of research both in Brazil and elsewhere. The perception and experiences of youth in relation to the street, however, and the corresponding gender and class relations which permeate these, remain an under-researched topic. Drawing on fieldwork conducted in low- and middle-income neighbourhoods in Recife, this paper sh
BACKGROUND: One key element of lung-protective ventilation is the use of a low tidal volume (VT). A sex difference in use of low tidal volume ventilation (LTVV) has been described in critically ill ICU patients.OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to determine whether a sex difference in use of LTVV also exists in operating room patients, and if present what factors drive this difference.DESIGN,
Carefully selecting the source data is crucial to achieve high performance of transfer learning methods for brain–computer interfaces (BCIs). Especially so in settings where a large amount of source data is available, and finding the optimal source is not computationally feasible. This paper presents a novel method for source selection, the so-called Transfer Performance Predictor (TPP) method. Th
This article examines the ways in which parenting practices of refugee parents are the object of concern for the Danish welfare state. Emphasis is placed on how interventions of daycare institutions and other welfare professionals have been experienced by refugee families who live in a context of radical uncertainty since they hold temporary residence permits in Denmark. Based on ethnographic fiel
Filtration through porous media is the oldest form of drinking water treatment and, to this day, constitutes a focal point of research in water engineering. Mathematical models of filtration are often used in conjunction with supplementary models of concurrent phenomena. For instance, both fluid flow inside and outside the filtering medium are of interest, and models of both flow through porous me
INTRODUCTION: Resection of intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN) aims to prevent progression to invasive pancreatic cancer. However, the risks of pancreatic surgery and frequent findings of low-grade dysplasia (LGD) raise concerns about overtreatment. This EAHPBA-endorsed multinational study evaluated short- and long-term overall survival (OS) following preventive resection for IPMN (with
Why are some men attracted to misogynistic groups? Drawing on literature on intergroup threat, we hypothesize that men who perceive that their status is threatened are more likely to engage with misogynistic groups. We also hypothesize that anger reactions to such threats is an important mechanism explaining why perceived masculine status threats lead to such engagement. In a survey (N = 2,751) we
Klima is a carbon-backed cryptocurrency running as a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO). In 2021, it had accumulated 9 million metric tons of digital carbon credits and reached a market value of more than US$1 billion. In 2023, its treasury stored twice as many carbon credits, but its spot price was a tiny fraction compared to 2021. Building on prior scholarship at the intersection of car
This letter analyzes certainty-equivalence adaptive controllers for sampled-data systems through a data-driven Riccati equation. Extending a recent framework for data-driven adaptive control, the proposed formulation provides the sampled-data counterpart that explicitly accounts for intersample behavior via lifted cost representations. Sufficient conditions are derived to guarantee stability and r
This research explores the contemporary turn towards neutral aesthetics in dressing and interior decoration as a cultural technology that regulates visibility, produces respectability and reproduces classed norms through embodied practices and digital infrastructures. In this study, neutrality is approached through the lenses of minimalism and monochromatism, representing a curated visual language
