It is common knowledge that when driving a vehicle, people leave traces of DNA behind. However, in the context of vehicle crimes, it is helpful for the police and investigative personnel to know the vehicle locations in which a perpetrator most likely left DNA during the incident. By specifying the most …

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 …

Evaluating water quality is fundamental to ensuring that freshwater ecosystems support the well-being of all life on Earth. The present study uses physicochemical parameters to assess groundwater in Dili, Timor-Leste, from 2011 to 2018. Water quality was determined using the conventional Water Quality …

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 …

Conventional centralised sewerage systems are increasingly challenged by climate change, population growth and sustainability goals. Decentralised wastewater treatment systems (DWTS) offer an alternative by reducing hydraulic loads, enabling local reuse and supporting resource recovery. This study analyses …
