Traditionella, rörbaserade dagvattensystem räcker inte längre till i förtätade städer för att möta krav på vattenkvalitet och översvämningsskydd vid extrem nederbörd. Därför efterfrågas naturbaserade och multifunktionella lösningar, här omnämnda som blå-grön infrastruktur, som kan hantera flera samhällsutmaningar samtidigt.Implementeringen av sådana lösningar försvåras dock av många och ibland sam

Accurate and continuous monitoring of inland surface‌ water dynamics is vital for sustainable water resource management, climate impact assessment, and ecological planning. This study introduces a machine learning-based remote sensing-based data-fusion framework that improves Sentinel-3 radar altimeter (SRAL) estimations of water surface elevation (WSE) by integrating ERA5 reanalysis climate varia

Nytilkomne familier bliver mødt med mange krav fra den danske velfærdsstat. Et af kravene er, at de skal sende deres 0-6 årige børn i dagtilbud, så forældrene kan gå på sprogskole eller komme i praktik. Artiklen belyser nogle af de dilemmaer, der opstår i forældresamarbejdet i mødet mellem pædagoger og nytilkomne familier. Disse dilemmaer udspringer af den myndighedsrolle som pædagogerne har, samt

In the past decades, the number of research work explaining the load transfer mechanism of moment connections has increased due to their advantages of energy dissipation capacity and improved load distribution. The use of bolts in slotted-in plate moment connections is a common practice in timber construction. However, the design and application guidelines are still limited and leading to results

As a fluid age cohort and a social category between childhood and adulthood – and hence with tenuous links to the status quo – youth are variously described as ‘at risk’, as victims of precarious and unpredictable circumstances, or as agents of social change who embody the future. From this future-oriented generational perspective, youth are often mobilised to individually and collectively imagine

This study explores causes for uncertainty that social workers experience when making assessments ofout of home placements in foster or institutional care. Uncertainty is often considered to be an integralpart of professional decision making, and the reason why professions are needed at all. Most researchhas concentrated on investigating how uncertainty is approached in education, professions, and

The current framing of AI-driven technologies situates them as solutions to a looming care crisis. However, this overlooks informal caregivers' key role to current State budgetary deficits impacting healthcare services happening in Europe. As States increasingly rely on informal caregivers to provide care before the necessary involvement of healthcare services, there is already well-established re

This article is based on fieldwork in a Chinese Protestant house-church in Beijing—more specifically, it focuses on a form of group therapy, which took place in the vicinity of the church. It combines two phenomena usually studied separately, namely the popularity of Chinese underground churches and China's so-called “psycho-boom.” Drawing on attachment theory, I focus on the psychic conflicts tha

Fibroblasts are dynamic structural cells that direct both beneficial tissue repair and pathological organ fibrosis through interactions with tissue-resident type 2 lymphocytes (T2Ls) and type 3/17 lymphocytes (T3Ls). The cytokines interleukin-13 (IL-13) and IL-17A, produced by T2Ls and T3Ls, respectively, are linked to both tissue inflammation and fibrosis, but how their spatial positioning influe

This study examines the contribution of a structural glass window integrated into a lightweight timber-frame wall diaphragm at the structural level. A full-scale timber mock-up, comprising different bracing elements such as wall diaphragms (with and without a bonded structural window), and a moment-resisting frame, combined with a roof diaphragm, was subjected to multiple serviceability limit stat

This paper introduces an addressability logic for crafting research contributions to advance scientific and societal impact in marketing and consumer research. For research to be meaningful we ask: for whom? Using rhetorical audience analysis, we examine 80 interpretivist articles in four journals over twenty years to identify their intended addressees. We identify four audience categories along aThis paper introduces an addressability logic for crafting research contributions to advance scientific and societal impact in marketing and consumer research.

This article explores the lived contradictions entailed in being a young member of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) today. The focus is on how political and existential issues intersect. It explores partymembership as a strategy for personal mobility among Beijing elite university students by providing an ethnographic account of the quandaries of two young CCP members. Even though one student is

This article is based on ethnographic fieldwork carried out among what Lian Si (2009) has called China’s ‘ant tribe’, referring to the millions of unemployed Chinese college graduates who live in the outskirts of Beijing and to some extent share the predicament of China’s migrant workers. Education has been the main route to social mobility for centuries in China, but today college graduates are o

The Binarity at LOw Metallicity (BLOeM) survey is an ESO large programme designed to obtain multi-epoch spectroscopy for 929 massive stars in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC). It will provide binary fractions and orbital configurations of binary systems and search for dormant black hole binary candidates (OB+BH). We present projected rotational velocities (v sin i) of all sources, and, using the m

Introduction: Exposure to high acoustic noise levels generated during 7 Tesla (T) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) may affect auditory function. To better understand these effects, this study examines how such noise exposure influences outer hair cell function in healthy adults, with a focus on the efficiency of a dual hearing protection method. Methods: In this within-subjects longitudinal study,

Growth and immune development—fundamental parts of any organism's ontogeny—depend critically on nutrient availability, particularly on essential amino acids that support protein synthesis and physiological processes. However, environmental variation can reduce prey diversity and nutrient quality, producing suboptimal diets that lack essential amino acids, potentially constraining development. In t
