Reusing building products is a feasible strategy for the construction and real estate industry to mitigate its climate impact. Sustainable reuse must be executed with quality assurance and defined responsibilities to encourage clients and avoid suboptimal outcomes. Despite the growing need to quality-assure reused products, there is limited research, particularly from an industry perspective. Prev
The 1914 eruption of Sakurajima (the Taisho eruption) caused catastrophic consequences by releasing enormous volcanic ash to Japan’s atmosphere, affecting both proximal and distal regions. As volcanic ash is a complex hazard that can cause damage to critical infrastructure and disrupt socio-economic activities, impacts from such an eruption in contemporary Japan will be more severe than in 1914. D
North Sea-Progressive Myoclonus Epilepsy (NS-PME) is a progressive neurological disorder, initially only associated with the homozygous GOSR2 founder mutation (c.430G>T; p.Gly144Trp). Clinical symptoms include untreatable early-onset ataxia, cortical myoclonus and epilepsy. Recently, the spectrum of GOSR2 mutations and associated phenotypic variability has expanded. To improve care and to facilita
This essay introduces four principles of nationalist historical narration by using the narrative strategies of the political parties the Sweden Democrats and the Danish People’s Party as examples. These narrative strategies follow the following four principles: 1. Nationalists cannot invent historical narratives solely out of figments of their imaginations.

Att läsa Mario Vargas Llosas Staden och hundarna är en utmaning för svenska universitetsstudenter som läser spanska som främmande språk, men trots detta visar kursutvärderingar att de tenderar att uppskatta upplevelsen. Denna studie fokuserar på att utforska studenternas läsprocess och deras reaktioner på texten genom ett läsloggprojekt. Felskis (2008) kategorier igenkänning, kunskap, förtrollningReading Mario Vargas Llosa's The time of the hero is a challenge for Swedish university students of Spanish as a foreign language, but despite this, course evaluations have shown that they tend to value the experience. This study focuses on exploring the students’ reading process and their reactions to the text through a reading log project. The categories of recognition, knowledge, enchantment an
BackgroundAmbulance clinicians regularly encounter medical, caring, existential and ethical challenges. Meeting patients with complex medical presentations underscore the need for holistic decision-making and actions as ambulance clinicians struggle to strike a balance between addressing medical and caring needs.AimThis study aimed to explore action alternatives considered and discussed during eth
Objective To evaluate any association of the presence and severity of nine major symptoms (pain, tiredness, drowsiness, nausea, appetite, breathlessness, depression, anxiety, and perceived well-being) with sleep quality and duration in elderly men.Design and setting Cross-sectional analysis within the population-based VAScular and Chronic Obstructive Lung disease study (VASCOL) conducted in southe
This study explored the international research collaboration led by China’s world-class universities and its impact during the first construction cycle of the “Double First-Class” initiative (2016–2020). We collected international collaborative publications based on the Scopus database and examined the performance of international research collaboration in terms of quantity, impact, collaborative
Contributing to analyses of housing welfare and inequality, this article examines how the territorial circumscription of asset-based welfare policies impact the pattern and trajectory of residential inequality in situ. We look to France, which since the 2000s has used asset-based welfare policies as a tool for rebalancing local territorial cohesion throughout the country. These policies, which onc

Circularity metrics simplify complex systems, and trade-offs between simplicity, scope, and usability introduce unavoidable limitations. We revisit the Ellen MacArthur Foundation’s Material Circularity Indicator (MCI) to identify opportunities for a more accurate, comprehensive, reliable measure of circularity. Although widely used and highly regarded, the MCI exhibits limitations and methodologic
The need for affordable housing requires more compact living. With the increasing frequency and impact of climate change incidents, a new way of thinking is needed to live in a more resilient and climate responsive way. The idea of a Z free home began by considering these two needs. As a tiny mobile house equipped with passive and eco-cycle systems, it achieves 9 zero targets. This paper evaluates
The reuse of building services, particularly HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) components, remains underexplored in adaptive reuse practices despite their substantial environmental impact and material intensity. This study investigates the feasibility of HVAC component reuse through a mixed-methods approach, combining a structured questionnaire with semi-structured interviews invol
Adaptive reuse, the conversion of buildings for new functions, is gaining prominence for its cost-saving and environmental benefits. However, prior research primarily focuses on preserving the building envelope, often overlooking building services such as ventilation, which affect occupant well-being, costs, and environmental performance. This study explores a novel adaptive reuse approach by reus
Elva visioner för Getteröverkets framtid skapade under en tvåveckors workshop med arkitektstudenter från Lunds universitet. Workshopen är en del av forskningsprojektet Transform som syftar till att utforska hur Getteröverket kan utvecklas från reningsverk till resursverk – vilka resurser kan vi ta tillvara, och hur?WorkshopenSyftet med workshopen var att identifiera på vilket sätt och för vem mark
The use of Large Language Models (LLMs) such as ChatGPT is a prominent topicin higher education, prompting debate over their educational impact. Studies onthe effect of LLMs on learning in higher education often rely on self-reported data,leaving an opening for complimentary methodologies. This study contributes byanalysing actual course grades as well as ratings by fellow students to investigateh
