This paper discusses sketching as a spatial and embodied ethnographic research method. Rather than a means to represent fieldwork experiences in quasi-photographic images, this method prompts researchers to slow down and open their senses. In doing so, sketching can initiate an imaginative and interpretive …

AIM: To highlight the need for a shift to family-focused care and to outline how this transition should be developed and implemented through close collaboration between clinical practice and research. DESIGN: Position paper. METHOD: Members of Family Health in Europe-Research in Nursing (FAME-RN) developed …

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 …

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 …

The individual variation in depositing DNA traces, historically termed “shedder status,” represents a critical variable in forensic activity level evaluations. However, the integration of this concept into casework is currently hindered by inconsistent terminology, a lack of standardized definitions, …

In early childhood education and care, professionals from childcare, education, and family support services engage in interprofessional collaboration.

This conceptual essay examines why Integral Sustainable Entrepreneurship (ISE) is an essential enabler for long-term value creation under conditions of ecological and societal constraints. Dominant shareholder-oriented economic models prioritize short-term financial performance and tend to overlook ecological …

Indoor service robots need perception that is robust, more privacy-friendly than RGB video, and feasible on embedded hardware. We present a camera-free 2D LiDAR object detection pipeline that encodes short-term temporal context by stacking three consecutive scans as RGB channels, yielding a compact YOLOv8n …

Urban logistics is vital to keep the urban fabric running, but affects liveability while operators also have to deal with shrinking space in which they have to conduct operations. Despite this, there is primarily a lot of focus on decarbonising logistics as well as on logistics concepts to improve the …

Decades of research on intercultural competence (ICC) development in higher education have primarily focused on interventions implemented during enrollment, with limited attention to the experiences students bring with them upon entry. This study therefore explores differences in ICC at the point of …
