People living with dementia are common in hospitals and often experience poorer outcomes, yet dementia-friendly hospital care (DFHC) is not consistently embedded in routine practice. A theory-informed synthesis of healthcare professionals’ reported barriers and facilitators is needed to guide implementation.To …

Predicting flood dynamics in data-scarce urban catchments remains a major hydrological challenge, yet physically-based modeling is essential for design mitigation infrastructure. This study assessed the impact of land cover change on the hydrological response and hydraulic performance of the ungauged …

Abstract This study evaluated the effects of vegetation and internal water storage (IWS) on evapotranspiration (ET), hydrologic performance, and water quality in bioretention mesocosms. Twelve mesocosms were configured as planted/free-drainage (PF), planted/IWS (PI), unplanted/free-drainage (UF), and …

Innovation is critical for the survival and competitiveness of family firms, yet the concept of innovative capacity (IC), the underlying ability to generate, absorb, and apply knowledge for sustained innovation, remains conceptually ambiguous. This paper addresses this gap by developing a dynamic, multi-level …

BACKGROUND: Clinical reasoning is fundamental to safe and effective Emergency Medical Services (EMS) care. EMS providers operate in dynamic, time-pressured environments characterised by diagnostic uncertainty, limited information, and high-stakes decisions. These conditions necessitate rapid yet adaptable …

Healthcare systems face rising costs, aging populations, and increasing chronic conditions, creating a need for personalized, multidisciplinary care. Value-Based Health Care (VBHC) offers a promising approach by shifting focus from volume to value. Burn care is particularly suited for this model due …

In recent decades, after several family tragedies with fatal outcomes in the Netherlands, a critical attitude emerged towards the role of youth care that prompted refinements of procedures and guidelines. These measures partly aim to eliminate moral hesitancy among social workers, defined as hesitation …

Within the Cool Neighbourhoods project, heat stress is assessed using the Physiological Equivalent Temperature (PET), a thermal comfort indicator that combines meteorological conditions with spatial and environmental variables. PET-based heat stress maps provide insight into spatial differences in thermal …

Single-use cardiac catheters contain platinum group metals, platinum, palladium, and iridium, in their electrode components, yet are routinely incinerated after a single procedure, destroying materials that are both economically valuable and classified as critical raw materials by the European Union. …

Cities and communities are central arenas for the global sustainability transition, and Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) is increasingly recognised as a key lever for the long-term societal learning this transition requires. Yet there is no systematic, transparent way to assess whether municipal …
