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, …

Data on the effectiveness of previous casework decisions can support Scene of Crime Officers (SoCOs) in making complex and rapid decisions during a crime scene investigation. This data is known to influence SoCOs' decision- making, for example, when selecting locations with high success rates for DNA …

OBJECTIVE: Telehealth is increasingly used to expand access to healthcare, but rapid digitalization risks exacerbating exclusion among frail older adults, who often face intersecting limitations related to health, resources, and digital competence. As this group frequently has complex care needs, mapping …

Climate adaptation requires innovative approaches to address collaborative knowledge exchange and multidisciplinary problem solving. For over a decade, ClimateScan has provided an open-source platform to map urban resilience and existing climate adaptation solutions implemented all over the world. Apart …

Within the Cool Neighbourhoods project, heat stress is assessed using the Physiological Equivalent Temperature (PET), a thermal comfort indicator that combines meteorological conditions with spatial and environmental variables. PET-based heat stress maps provide insight into spatial differences in thermal …

Globally, 70% of Average Annual Losses (AAL) are attributed to climatic hazards - rising temperature extremes, increased flooding, and water scarcity and security - marking a significant impact on urban areas. Notably, flooding has been the most prominent disaster, accounting for 44% of total reported …
