This article explores the possibility of creating alternative user experience in exhibition spaces while using audience interactivity as medium for generating sonic material. We are investigating participatory art in museum space, ways for redefining audiences, and how artistic logic can be articulated through an encounter with the public. Inspired by the “ArtLens” mobile application developed by
This third issue of Airea presents a second round of articles in response to our call for contributions 'Revisiting interdisciplinarity within collaborative and participatory creative practice', announced in June 2019. Following the second issue that showcased contributions from sound-related areas, the present collection focuses on the breadth of practices in art and design. The contributions in
The lack of energy balance closure in Eddy-Covariance (EC) measurements is a well-known, still unresolved challenge in micrometeorology, with energy balance closure (EBC) rates typically ranging between 60% and 80%. While numerous hypotheses have been proposed to explain this imbalance, the relative contributions of neglected energy storage terms, data quality and flux processing options remain in
The development of quality independent-living senior housing is a critical component for cities and towns to support residents to ‘age well’. This can contribute to a physical and social environment for older adults that reduces potential social isolation and loneliness and promotes healthy ageing. This study investigates the use of common areas within independent-living senior housing sites and i
This study tests the viability of multiple sorting tasks (MST) as a method to explore perceptions of public space and its potential for people that are vulnerable to loneliness. The procedure integrates qualitative and quantitative aspects and obviates the challenge of people articulating how they interact with their surroundings, especially being aware of what features of their environment are in
Urban streets are an integral part of the public realm. Streets are commonly planned following normative design principles focused on the connectivity of road networks and urban morphology. Beyond their function as mobility infrastructure, streetscapes’ aesthetic, social, and cultural qualities also have an important impact on the experience of the overall urban environment and human well-being. T
In the Multiple Sorting Task (MST) participants sort entities into their self-defined categories. The descriptions they provide of their categories provide qualitative data. Multi-dimensional scaling of sorting generates quantitative results. Relating the qualitative descriptions to the quantitative output creates integrated mixed methods. As part of the study of conceptions of public space an onl
Sustainability is discussed in literature as complex, ambiguous, and partly contradictory, which makes it difficult for store personnel to fully grasp what can be classified as sustainable and how sustainability can be staged and represented in the retail grocery environment. Drawing on symbolic interactionism and Goffman’s dramaturgical perspective, this dissertation explores how sustainability iSustainability is discussed in literature as complex, ambiguous, and partly contradictory, which makes it difficult for store personnel to fully grasp what can be classified as sustainable and how sustainability can be staged and represented in the retail grocery environment.

Fistulizing perianal Crohn’s disease is complex and negatively affects quality of life. Rectal advancement flap (AF) has been widely adopted as a sphincter-preserving procedure for treating complex anal fistulas. The European Crohn’s and Colitis Organisation (ECCO) guidelines on surgical treatment of Crohn’s disease state that AF is a therapeutic option for patients with Crohn’s disease and comple
BackgroundObesity is commonly diagnosed using BMI, which does not capture total adiposity or fat distribution, as highlighted by the recent Lancet D&E Commission report. We assessed the prognostic value of an adiposity-based classification combining body fat percentage (BF%) and waist circumference (WC) in relation to cardiometabolic and kidney outcomes and evaluated its concordance with BMI.M
The EU Mission on Climate-neutral and Smart Cities aims to enable 100 European cities to become climate-neutral by 2030. However, climate change has the potential to intersect with, exacerbate, and create new patterns of urban injustices, making climate justice a key concern in urban climate governance. Nevertheless, research on the integration of climate justice into urban mitigation strategies a
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: This review aims to give an overview of recent advances in the clinical management of children <18 years of age with end-stage pulmonary hypertension refractory to conventional medical therapy.RECENT FINDINGS/SUMMARY: The increased awareness and characterization of pediatric pulmonary vascular disease has amounted more data toward creating an accurate, and comprehensive, risk pr
