Background Adolescence is characterized by large bodily changes and a heightened body-focus. It is also a sensitive period for the onset of various forms of psychopathology. Previous longitudinal studies have shown that body dissatisfaction is a predictor of disordered eating, non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI), and depression among adolescents. Body dissatisfaction, however, only represents one aspe

Despite the numerous cultural networks within and outside of European contexts of culture-led urban development as well as transnational cultural policy-making, in-depth analyses of such networks remain scarce. In light of this, the article introduces the network Trans Europe Halles (TEH, est. 1983) as an empirical case study that illustrates cultural grassroots organising across its 165+ members

Operations management is a key aspect in any manufacturing business. Optimising the management of manufacturing operations allows improvement of the productivity and efficiency of industrial activities. To achieve this, reducing waste from manufacturing processes and, therefore, implementing lean-manufacturing principles, is key. This article presents a case study to reduce waste in changeover pro

This article explores the development process of a sharing platform in the tourism industry, drawing on a longitudinal case study of a sharing-based business in adventure tourism in Sweden. The purpose is to explore how sharing business models emerge through processes of ideological narration—the strategic use of stories to shape and sustain a business. Over a two-year period, empirical data were

AIMS: The VALIDATE-SWEDEHEART trial was a registry-based randomized trial comparing bivalirudin and heparin in patients with acute myocardial infarction undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention. It showed no differences in mortality at 30 or 180 days. This study examines how well the trial population results may generalize to the population of all screened patients with fulfilled inclusion cr

This review examines the hidden and invisible labor humans perform to enable robots to function as agents within Human-Robot Interaction (HRI). While robot agency is often framed as internal and autonomous, this perspective overlooks the relational dynamics that sustain robot functionality in real-world settings. Drawing on feminist theory, the review highlights how humans frequently share the res

Rhythmic patterning is a widespread structural trait of animal (including human) communication. Concomitantly, a key role of communication is to convey and/or induce emotion. The expression and modulation of emotion is also hypothesized to be a key mechanism for the evolution of rhythmic synchronization in humans. Despite the centrality of both rhythm and emotion to human and nonhuman communicatio

Rhythmicity is a composite competence that spans perceptual, motor, and socio-cognitive abilities. This is highly salient when adopting a developmental perspective, as we do in this chapter that reviews data from humans and other singing primate taxa with a close (gibbons) or remote (indri lemurs) phylogenetic relatedness to our species. The findings we review show that rhythmicity develops as an

Animals communicate with a staggering diversity of rhythmic signals, yet behind all this diversity lies a small number of ethological mechanisms. In this chapter, we provide a quick review of how animal produce rhythmic signals based on these mechanisms, which span tremulation, percussion, bodily displays, stridulation, tymbalation, aerodynamic sound production (including vocalisation), as well as

Background Several researchers have argued that disturbances in embodiment play an important role in the development of psychological health problems among adolescents. The purpose of the present study was to use the 12-item Embodiment Scale (ES-12), with its three subscales Harmonious Body (HB), Disharmonious Body (DB), and Body for Others (BO), (1) to identify subgroups of adolescents with diffe

Given that urban planning has served colonial and imperialist purposes, this commentary explores the existing challenges for early-career researchers conducting research designed in the Global North and carried out in/on the Global South. We offer a series of questions and provocations as an invitation to colleagues facing similar dilemmas to reflect on their own research from a decolonial methodo

Tool wear intensity is one of the major performance and economic indicators of metal cutting processes. Understanding and control of tool wear and its governing mechanisms enables effective and sustainable manufacturing. Known wear mechanisms include abrasive, adhesive, chemical and diffusional, where their individual or combined action leads to an overall tool degradation. In this study, we prese

This article focuses on the analysis of a direct air-cooled rotor winding of a wound field synchronous machine, the innovation of which lies in the increase in the internal cooling surface, the cooling of the winding compared to the conventional inter-pole cooling, and the development of a CHT evaluation model accordingly. Conjugate heat transfer (CHT) analysis is used to explore the cooling effic

Diabetes is an escalating health concern affecting approximately 152.6 million people globally in rural areas, with a significant rise in low- and middle-income countries where over 75% of affected adults live. These populations face unique challenges, including delayed diagnosis, limited access to specialized care, and economic hardships, leading to severe complications such as cardiovascular dis

The rapid technological advancements of modern times have brought about the need for an innovative and contemporary approach to medical waste management procedures. This arises from the inadequacy of conventional manual techniques in ensuring the safety of employees and the environment from infections. The increasing amount of waste produced each day can exacerbate the situation if no action is ta
