Residential burglaries often go unsolved, as collected DNA traces and fingermarks frequently originate from residents rather than the offender. It is therefore important to know how to target sampling locations that specifically relate to the burglary event. However, data that aid in assessing the likelihood …

Building on the metaphor of teachers as “knowing locations,” this contribution explores how teachers impact the socio-material learning environments. We illustrate how they influence teaching/learning making by zooming into two distinct settings: secondary school educational labs (E-labs) and art academy …

Public squares are vital components of urban environments, serving as spaces for recreation, social interaction, play, and exercise. However, in densely populated, low-income neighborhoods with limited green spaces, these squares often lack adaptive capacity, limiting their functionality during extreme …

"The global shift toward electric vehicles (EV) and renewable energy highlights the need for educational models that are both scientifically rigorous and accessible to diverse learners. Research in STEM education demonstrates that hands-on, project-based learning increases student engagement, understanding, …
