In this perspective, we argue for a social, multi-affective, contextual approach to emotions in environmental communication, departing from an observation that the field has often considered emotions as tools for change. To complement instrumental approaches, we stress how environmental communication as a scholarly field can benefit from a situated and contextual approach to emotions, embracing a
In a context of population ageing, housing crises and socio-spatial inequalities, ageing in place depends not only on dwellings but also on neighbourhood conditions. This article examines how older adults’ social possibilities are shaped in everyday life in Angered and Högsbo, two contrasting neighbourhoods in Göteborg, Sweden. Drawing on 12 walking interviews with older adults and 72 neighbourhoo
Population ageing and changing family structures accentuate the need for housing forms that support social connection and care in later life. Collaborative housing (CH) re‑emerged in Sweden in the late 1970s as a bottom‑up response to the gendered burden of domestic work and the social shortcomings of large housing estates. Through academic exchanges, the Swedish self‑work model in collaborative h
Student housing as a type of housing is regularly overlooked in architectural historiography and theory. Yet, student housing is a category of housing that an ever-larger portion of society inhabit, albeit for a limited time. Looking more closely at this category of housing reveals that it is a field of study that runs parallel to society’s more general questions of housing whilst also showing var
PurposeThis research examines the experiences of small and medium-sized enterprises to analyze how Business Model Innovation (BMI) may be facilitated by cluster initiatives and examining the implications of how cluster initiatives can support BMI of SMEs in a lower-middle income country like Bolivia.Design/methodology/approachThis study utilizes a qualitative methodological approach of multiple ca
Cold extremes bring significant uncertainties to the energy system. Their strong spatiotemporal coupling introduces growing challenges to the adequacy and flexibility of the power and heating supply, complicating risk identification and mitigation. Therefore, this paper presents a framework for spatiotemporal risk assessment and resistance enhancement under cold extremes. It captures cold-air prop
The convergence of Information Technology (IT) and Operational Technology (OT) in Industry 4.0 has intensified the need for timely, trustworthy, and explainable cyber threat intelligence (CTI) for Industrial Control Systems (ICS). However, existing AI-enabled and Large Language Model (LLM)-based CTI solutions are predominantly designed for conventional IT environments and do not adequately address

Logistics 5.0 has gained significant importance in recent years due to its multiple advantages. This study identifies and prioritizes the enablers of sustainable last-mile delivery (LMD) within the context of Logistics 5.0. It addresses critical gaps in the fragmented literature by integrating technological, sustainability, and human factors into a unified Technology-Sustainability-People (TSP) fr
Part of an ongoing exploration on open-ended knowledge practices and design pedagogies, becoming lore looks into what positions folklore and collective story building can occupy in the reconfiguration of how we experience and think of relationships in our presents and futures.The project challenges the obsessive connections euro-centric epistemologies have established between knowledge and precisi
CVD α-Al2O3 coatings on cemented carbides are widely used in steel turning, where cutting tool performance is strongly dependent on the crystallographic texture of the α-Al2O3 layer. Residual stress, cooling-crack density, and hardness are key factors influencing coating integrity during machining. Although texture has been reported to affect these properties, trends remain inconsistent in the lit
Burnishing has shown potential to improve the corrosion, fatigue and wear resistance of stainless steels. In this study, the surface integrity induced by burnishing in AISI 316Ti was characterized using a multi-technique approach based on Electron Channeling Contrast Imaging (ECCI), Electron Backscatter Diffraction (EBSD) and nanoindentation. Slide burnishing with a diamond tool was carried out un
Global changes are leading to widespread species redistribution. Comprehensive assessments of range shift dynamics and their drivers are difficult, partly due to the variation in range shift detection over space and taxa. Here we compile documented range shift records for 1,758 butterfly species from 105 countries and territories, representing ~10% of the known diversity of these insects. Most spe
A rectangular conducting patch can be configured as a wideband or narrowband antenna, depending on its placement on the ground plane. The feeding method and the presence of a stacked patch also significantly influence the impedance bandwidth. In this context, the paper revisits the operating principles of patch antennas from the perspective of characteristic mode analysis (CMA), with a focus on im
Food supply is fundamental to societal resilience and, again, a priority across Europe. This paper proposes a theoretical framework to inform ongoing efforts to improve food supply security in highly privatised and fragmented food systems, grounded in the perspectives of key actors involved in securing food supply in Sweden. It is based on semi-structured interviews with 31 participants from publi
In this paper, we study agency as expressed in the introductory text in the compilation thesis, the kappa (also referred to as e.g., thesis frame, synthesis or general introduction), a topic not often addressed in academic development work. Based on an analysis of a mix of sources – a course on kappa writing; focus groups discussions with doctoral students, examiners and supervisors; and a survey
Damselflies (Odonata: Zygoptera) have evolved highly developed visual systems for mate recognition, flight and prey detection. Wing Interference Patterns (WIPs), which are colors generated by thin-film interference in the wing membrane, could function as visual signals and play a role in sexual selection. Because the color of these signals depends on membrane thickness, a potential conflict exists
Top-down approaches using inverse modelling provide valuable complementary information to national methane emission inventories, which are primarily based on bottom-up methods. Here, we focus on Italy, where methane is currently monitored at five stations that belong to the Integrated Carbon Observation System (ICOS). Top-down estimates show substantial discrepancies over this country, suggesting
