Ethiopian air pollution is understudied yet highly relevant considering population size and source abundance including solid fuel cooking, small scale waste burning and vehicle fleet. Low cost PM2.5 sensors can be used to mitigate this by mapping pollution exposure. We report on indoor and outdoor measurements with Sensirion sensors SPS30 and SEN55, the former extensively validated in literature,

A detailed restriction system for restaurants in Sweden was developed from 1850 to 1922. The original restriction framework was dismantled in 1955, but many of the restrictions remained in place. The paper, based on official documents and news articles, argues that the restrictions can be seen as a living culinary cultural heritage, which has implications for both the restaurant industry and the g

In communication and management research, coworker voice has been widely acknowledged as a central component for organizations’ long-term development and survival. With the increasing digitalization and need for flexibility, digital workplace meetings have become a common form of communication, demonstrating a new arena where coworker voice is expressed and shaped. Thus, the aim of this study is t

Universities and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are increasingly engaging in collaborations that translate academic knowledge into practical business applications, thereby contributing to innovation, competitiveness, and development. For SMEs, which often face resource and capability constraints, partnerships with universities can provide important support for business model innovation

This study develops an integrated decision-support framework for blockchain-enabled Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) compliance in global supply networks. Multinational enterprises face complex sustainability challenges due to fragmented supplier systems, inconsistent standards, and limited traceability. Blockchain technology offers transparency, immutability, and decentralized validati

This paper examines how aesthetics can foster inclusion in everyday urban infrastructures, using recycling rooms in residential areas as a case study. Drawing on a design ethnographic study of 27 municipal recycling facilities, three interconnected dimensions – access aesthetics, communicative aesthetics, and spatial aesthetics – were identified. Environments that are neglected, dark, and smelly t

Introduction: Human rhinovirus (HRV) is the primary cause of acute respiratory infections, but research on the likely transmission pathway via aerosols remains limited. Here, we investigate how relative humidity (RH) influences rhinovirus infectivity in the aerosol phase, which is essential for developing effective mitigation strategies.Method: Rhinovirus was aerosolized using a nebulizer into a f

This paper is based on interviews with 20 expert industrial designers with 8-40+ years of experience about how they are adopting generative AI into their workflows. Using thematic analysis, the study reveals how top-down pressure for speed and efficiency drives rapid, bottom-up adoption of generative AI tools. The core finding is that in this scramble for adoption, designers and design businesses

Focusing specifically on the speech act of advice, the present study investigates the role of democratization, or the flattening of social hierarchies, in the use and development of modal verbs in Present-Day spoken British English. In contrast to previous research, which so far has investigated English modality across a variety of speech acts, this study provides a more controlled environment for

This article advances understanding of internal communication in hybrid organizations by examining how informal communication practices are reconfigured across digital and physical contexts. It addresses two research questions: (1) how managers and coworkers experience informal communication in hybrid settings and changes in its conditions, and (2) what new forms of informal communication emerge.T

This paper discusses the grammatical and semantic properties ofverbalizing lexical affixes in Takituduh Bunun (Austronesian, Taiwan), arguing thatthese lexical affixes are the overt realization of the category-assigning head v, while thenominal stems of these lexical prefixes are reduced nPs, rather than full DPs. The paperdescribes the argument structure and transitivity pattern of these verbaliz

Background: Ultra-high field (UHF) 7 Tesla magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) offers significant improvements in signal-to-noise ratio and spatial resolution. However, it also presents challenges such as increased acoustic noise, peripheral nerve stimulation (PNS), and various potential physiological and perceptual effects. Therefore, from a human response perspective, it is crucial to consider both

This article examines Sweden's transition towards a highly digitalised and near-cashless payment system and analyses how this transformation affects individuals who remain dependent on cash. While Sweden is frequently portrayed as a global frontrunner in digitalisation, the shift towards digital payments has not been driven by explicit political decisions or coordinated social planning. Instead, t
