Since the ratification of the Kyoto Protocol, the signing of the Paris Agreement, the adoption of the Sustainable Development Goals, and the New Urban Agenda, there has been a major growth of urban involvement in addressing sustainability challenges. This has sparked a thriving era for city governments around the world to engage with urban experimentation that aims to enable transformations toward
This guidebook offers practice‑oriented guidance for initiating, developing, and sustaining collaborative housing projects across Europe. Building on the EU‑funded CO‑HOPE (Collaborative Housing in a Pandemic Era) research project and its Urban Living Lab, it synthesizes insights from the planning processes of studied collaborative housing initiatives. Grounded in participatory workshops with resi
This paper presents the integrated study of the funerary ara of Ofilius Ianuarius, discovered within the burial complex of Via Appia Antica 39, and explores its digital stratigraphic recontextualisation through two 3D semantic workflows. The research aims to evaluate the potential of stratigraphic 3D modelling as a tool for post-excavation analysis and transparent archaeological interpretation. St
The present research seeks to give a general overview about the wooden tablets found in Vindolanda. Firstly, the research will focus on the tablet as an “indirect” source of data: any kind of information (not directly related to the text content) which could be revealed by, for instance, the language or type of writing. Secondly, different types of texts will be analysed and compared (if possible,
Recent advances in generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) have rapidly transformed research and practice across the Cultural Heritage domain. While several studies have investigated AI applications in documentation, analysis and dissemination, a focused and critical assessment of generative AI within 3D virtual reconstruction workflows is still lacking. This paper presents a systematic review of
The intricate relationship between Cultural Heritage, Landscapes, Cultural Identities, and Local Communities requires a deeply interdisciplinary approach. By fostering a sense of place and community, Cultural Heritage strengthens social bonds, enhances well-being, and supports civic engagement. In fact, individual disciplines often struggle to establish a common framework. Thus, this study aims to
The increasing use of geophysical investigations for archaeological purposes is now provided also by Italian reforms about preventive archaeology. They allow not only the discovery or the spatial definition of possible buried archaeological evidence, but they are also able to define the state of preservation of ancient structures. The Bocca delle Menate archaeological site is in Comacchio village
Background: Selegiline, rasagiline, safinamide, and zonisamide are commonly used with levodopa to manage motor fluctuations in Parkinson’s disease (PD). This study compared the efficacy and safety of these agents as adjuncts to levodopa in Asian PD patients with motor fluctuations. Methods: A Bayesian network meta-analysis (NMA) was conducted. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) published from dat
Municipal housing companies have been recognised for their potential in taking on a leadership role in terms of energy efficiency in buildings, raising the question of what the transaction cost barriers are in these companies’ internal operations for undertaking energy efficiency measures. In this study, we thus explore transaction costs barriers in municipal housing companies in Sweden. Data on q
In La Guajira, a semi-arid region in northern Colombia, groundwater constitutes the primary water reserve for Wayúu communities. However, its management is often reduced to technical metrics of depth and extraction, rendering invisible the territorial and embodied knowledges that sustain life. Drawing on Latin American feminist political ecology and the water–body–territory framework, this article
Background Circadian rhythms regulate immune cell trafficking and function, and emerging clinical data suggest that the timing of immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) administration may influence efficacy. In advanced disease, later-day administration has been associated with inferior outcomes. Whether this applies to neoadjuvant ICI in resectable stage III–IV melanoma is unknown. Methods This retros
With zoonotic outbreaks on the rise, rapid and accurate infectious disease diagnostics are critical for both human and animal health. Traditional lateral flow assays lack sensitivity and specificity, while isothermal amplification methods like LAMP, though rapid, can be hindered by optical detection issues. We present an electrochemical nucleic acid amplification test (NAAT) that combines isotherm
The human stomach is a harsh and fluctuating environment for bacteria with hazards such as gastric acid and flow through of gastric contents into the intestine. H. pylori gains admission to a stable niche with nutrient access from exudates when attached to the epithelial cells under the mucus layer, whereof adherence to glycolipids and other factors provides stable and intimate attachment. To reac
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Chronic breathlessness is common and often leads to avoidance of symptom-provoking activities. Expectations of breathlessness influence behaviour and symptom perception, but the accuracy of these expectations remains unclear. The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between expected and experienced breathlessness, the moderating role of mental states, determi
Background Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is highly prevalent in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) and is associated with autonomic dysfunction and adverse cardiovascular outcomes. Exercise-derived autonomic markers provide an integrated assessment of cardiovascular autonomic regulation. Whether baseline OSA severity and longitudinal autonomic adaptation during continuous positive airway
Mechanical circulatory support (MCS) devices provide hemodynamic stability during high-risk percutaneous coronary interventions (HR-PCI), potentially reducing the incidence of adverse events and permitting more complete revascularization.1,2 According to clinical guidelines in the United States, MCS is recommended during PCI for selected high-risk patients undergoing coronary artery revascularizat
