Urban areas face mounting pressure from increased space demand, degrading key environmental services. Thus, understanding Land Use/Land Cover (LULC) changes is vital. In order to offer a robust decision-support framework...

A real-time electrochemical sensing strategy for nicotine monitoring in smoke streams was developed using additively manufactured three-dimensional (3D) based on conductive polymer composites. Disc-type microelectrodes (...

Abstract This study aims to present the process of designing, testing and validating measurement instruments to measure the school climate from the perspective of students from the 7th grade of primary education onwards,...

Coastal environments are integral to metropolitan regions, operating as strategic civic and socio-economic interfaces that underpin tourism, everyday wellbeing, and local economies. Despite their significance, ensuring e...

The “Findings in…” section in this issue of VLC arquitectura is devoted to Architectural Construction, a field whose recent evolution highlights its capacity to open up new lines of reflection and research on the b...

Abstract Background The research shows the impact of land use forms and population density on the spatial variation of COVID-19 cases and deaths. Selected elements of land use that influence the number of COVID-19 cases ...

Starting from the relationship between urban planning and mobility management, TeMA has gradually expanded the view of the covered topics, always remaining in the groove of rigorous scientific in-depth analysis. This sec...

The application of Internet of Things (IoT) technology is a significant step toward improving the sustainability and responsiveness of the built environment. The current work introduces the Adaptive and Sustainable IoT I...

Despite the benefits design for adaptability (DfA) contributes to achieving sustainability and circularity in the construction industry, studies have demonstrated that construction professionals are yet to realize its fu...

The paper focuses on recent changes in the profile of the gentrification process experienced in Lisbon, reinforced in the context of the 2008- 2009 capitalist post-crisis and in the last phase of financialized capitalism...

Abstract Background Diabetes is a leading cause of mortality globally and ranks as the eighth leading cause of death in the United States. Affecting approximately 8.9% of Americans, diabetes imposes a substantial public ...

In the Malaysian concurrent tyre retailing industry, most of the business activities are carried out in the traditional labour-intensive ways. This manual process is prone to inefficiencies, increases operating costs and...

Background: Extreme heat poses growing public health challenges, particularly in rapidly urbanizing regions. Assessing heat vulnerability at the county level is crucial for guiding adaptation strategies. Methods: A count...

Abstract Photovoltaic (PV) systems have become one of the most important solutions to sustainable energy production due to the growing demand of renewable energy and the necessity to harness energy in the most efficient ...

In response to the existing problems in the temperature monitoring of boreholes in high-temperature fire areas of open-pit coal mines, this study proposed an intelligent temperature monitoring and early warning system by...

Neuromorphic photonic processors based on resonator weight banks are an emerging candidate technology for enabling modern artificial intelligence (AI) in high speed analog systems. These purpose-built analog devices impl...

Urbanization and climate change are rapidly transforming metropolitan environments, posing serious challenges to sustainable development, climate resilience, and disaster risk management, Among these challenges, concern,...

Urban growth has reshaped land use patterns globally, demanding robust and scalable methodologies to monitor its long-term dynamics. This study proposes a GeoAI-based framework that integrates Random Forest (RF) classifi...

Abstract Conventional manipulators with rigid structures and stiffness actuators have poor flexibility, limited obstacle avoidance capability, and constrained workspace. Some developed flexible or soft manipulators in re...

ABSTRACT Gamification has gained momentum in STEM education as a way to boost student engagement, motivation, and conceptual learning. A wide variety of games, from short in-class activities to long-format student-built ...

Abstract A strong association exists between land use land cover change and, Land Surface Temperature (LST). The study focuses on the assessment of vegetation cover, comprising forests and agricultural land, which are cr...

This paper contributes to the debate on entrepreneurial parties with the empirical example of the Czech ANO party. The authors focus on selected aspects of the internal organisation and functioning of the party, emphasis...

Rapid urbanization in Africa, particularly in Greater Cairo, Egypt, and Nairobi, Kenya, has significantly contributed to environmental change through increased Land Surface Temperature (LST) and the intensification of th...

The rapid urban-induced Land Use and Land Cover (LULC) changes threaten river health, necessitating the identification of key drivers. It becomes essential to conduct a comprehensive assessment of anthropogenic changes t...
