Introduction: Benchmarking colorectal surgery outcomes informs quality improvement. The ESCP CORREA 2022 snapshot audit aimed to assess contemporary colorectal resection practices and short-term outcomes across European countries and beyond. Methods: An international prospective multicentre audit was conducted in which adults undergoing elective or emergency colorectal resection during a 6-week pe

Highlights: What are the main findings? A ~32-year aridity cycle is detected across China through Fourier spectrum analysis of 1950–2022 aridity data. An arid–humid climate divide is revealed by entropy-based climate stability indicators. Recent remote sensing data show a nationwide expansion of surface water bodies and localized groundwater recovery. What are the implications of the main findings

Nära relationer är avgörande för människors välbefinnande. Anknytningsteori utgår från att tidiga erfarenheter med omsorgsfigurer (oftast föräldrar) under uppväxten formar hur individer lär sig förstå sig själva, andra och omvärlden. Genom upprepade interaktioner med omsorgsfigurer i situationer präglade av distress utvecklar barn mentala bilder som liknar ett manuskript, som innehåller implicit kClose relationships are fundamental to human wellbeing. Attachment theory posits that early caregiving experiences shape how individuals come to understand themselves, others, and the world. Through repeated caregiving interactions in situations of distress, children develop script-like mental structures (i.e., attachment schemas). Attachment schemas, thus, hold implicit knowledge about availabili

A growing empirical and theoretical literature has investigated to what extent socioeconomic inequalities are influenced by the outcomes and characteristics of ancestors prior to the parental generation. This paper contributes by examining multigenerational associations of earnings and occupational status in the entire Swedish population born 1968-1976, amounting to over 200,000 three-generation l

Despite the breadth of change management research, limited attention has been paid to how change management practices are adapted to specific organizational contexts. This review addresses this gap by examining how context is conceptualized in relation to change management. Based on a contingency approach, which underscores that processes and structures of an organization need to be adapted to the

The world faces a shared challenge in slowing climate change and mitigating its effects. As part of addressing this challenge, innovation is driving regulatory and non-regulatory building development, product advancement and research aimed at delivering a more sustainable built environment. However, the built environment also needs to be resilient to a wide range of hazards. Sustainability and res

Across the Fehmarn Belt region, new imaginaries of the future are taking shape. The fixed link between Denmark and Germany will not only reduce travel times but also transform everyday life, local economies, planning cultures, and regional identities on both sides of the Belt.This book brings together visions emerging from fieldwork, planning documents, site visits, workshops, and conversations wi

Higher socioeconomic status (SES) is associated with lower mortality. This has been confirmedusing different indicators across several geographical settings. Nevertheless, the mechanismsbehind this association are still under debate. In particular, the timing of the emergence of theSES gradient remains an open question. In this paper, we study the development of SESinequalities in cause-specific m

The rapid advancement of connected and autonomous vehicles has driven a growing demand for precise and reliable positioning systems capable of operating in complex environments. Meeting these demands requires an integrated approach that combines multiple positioning technologies, including wireless-based systems, perception-based technologies, and motion-based sensors. This paper presents a compre

This article adopts a temporal and multi-level perspective on thephenomenon of covidfencing, which emerged during the COVID-19 pandemic of the early 2020s and led to widespread ‘re-bordering’ across European cross-border regions. It explores howdifferent regions experienced covidfencing and analyzes theprocesses that produced divergent outcomes, consideringdevelopments at regional, national, and E

Weather applications constitute mundane data infrastructures that people use on a daily basis. However, little attention is afforded to how these everyday technologies and their data potentially shape users’ understanding of weather. One group to which weather conditions are particularly salient is farmers. The field of agriculture is increasingly data-driven, encompassing different commercial and

This study contributes to an increased understanding of how managers and employees perceive the change context in the field of traffic management, and what the behavioural implications are. Expectancy theory is adopted to explore how context influence the motivations of these actors. The findings reveals that motivation, being one contextual factor for change, is influenced by other contextual fac

Climate warming profoundly alters cryospheric hydrological cycles, exacerbating the challenge of simulating the poorly understood processes, particularly in complex, glacier- and permafrost-dominated headwater basins. This difficulty centers on accurately representing the compound runoff regimes generated by the complex, overlapping interactions between rainfall and multiple cryospheric melt proce

This special issue aims to deepen the understanding of the Europeanisation of universities from 1980 to the mid-1990s. By focussing on five universities situated in different European contexts, we aim to provide insight into how Europeanisation has taken place and changed higher education. The geographical diversity and the main differences between universities provide the opportunity to show both
