This timely book presents new perspectives from global experts in entrepreneurship, innovation and regional economic development. Bringing together diverse perspectives, Eleanor Hamilton, Rhiannon Pugh and Danny Soetanto integrate research, practice and policy to develop new ideas and propose innovative learning models.
Notch connections are commonly used in timber concrete composite (TCC) members because of the simple geometry of the solution making execution easy and the high strength and stiffness resulting from the mechanical interlock between the timber and concrete. However, the use of low strength lightweight concrete in TCC applications is limited in the literature. Therefore, in this work, shear tests we
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 study aimed to evaluate the clinical acceptability of artificial intelligence (AI)-based organ segmentations on pretreatment CT images of prostate cancer patients using manual organ delineations as a reference. Paired AI-based segmentations and manual delineations of the prostate, urinary bladder, and rectum were evaluated by three observers, according to a 4-grade Likert-scale, based on qual
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
This chapter investigates how the challenging questions and tensions caused by migrants and their universalist claims for inclusion, have been approached and resolved in liberal democracies. By regarding the development of populism as a real and dangerous political phenomenon that has significant traction, the chapter asks whether populism adds something new to this approach and resolution. More s
Air pollution has been linked to reduced birthweight, but the association with black carbon (BC) remains insufficiently explored. This study examined the association of gestational exposure to BC with birthweight outcomes. We included data on all singleton births in Denmark between 2004 and 2016 (n = 690,898). BC and fine particulate matter (PM2.5) were estimated by high-resolution air pollution m
Firm innovation is strongly shaped by regional endowment – defined here as regional supply- and demand-side conditions for innovation – yet many regions are disadvantaged by having low levels of such endowment. While recent research increasingly emphasizes the role of regional soft factors, such as psychological openness, we still know relatively little about how such factors influence firm innova
Background The purpose of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to (i) evaluate effects of exercise on cancer-related lymphedema (CRL) incidence, and (ii) explore whether effect differed according to patient and exercise intervention characteristics. Methods A search of 6 electronic databases was undertaken to identify intervention studies published up to May 2025. Studies included individu
Tidau and Kelber provide a brief overview of nocturnality in animals, highlighting its pervasiveness, the adaptations linked to being active at night, and anthropogenic influences.
Phenotypic variation is the raw material for evolutionary diversification and adaptation. However, a critical gap remains in evolutionary theory between developmental and statistical representations of phenotypic variation, limiting our ability to understand and predict evolutionary change. In this paper, we close this gap by establishing a formal bridge between developmental and statistical accou
Extractivism is a global phenomenon driven by the logic of capitalism that is manifested chiefly in mining, but also in agribusiness. Women around the world have emerged as leaders of resistance movements against extractivism. In this article, we question this recurrent theme in political ecology literature based on ethnographic fieldwork in southern Ecuador, where resistance has been less success
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
Introduction: Wearable sensors measuring bodily movements used in free-living conditions may help predict falls in older persons. Assessing their use in this context is essential to identify potential challenges related to fall risk screening. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the feasibility of conducting a prospective study comparing self-rated and wearable sensor-based measures for the asse
Over the last two decades, strategic emerging global production networks (GPNs) have reshaped advanced manufacturing, challenging the dominance of developed economies. Yet existing GPN theories pay limited attention to the geoeconomic logics driving these transformations. This article develops a conceptual–analytical framework that integrates geoeconomics into GPN analysis, viewing states as geoec
While workplace incivility has been described as a shared stressor in organizations, it has predominately been studied on an individual level of analysis. Few studies have explored shared perceptions of workplace incivility, and how shared perceptions relate to organizational or individual outcomes. The aim of this study was to explore how workplace incivility and civility norms, on both an indivi
