Little is known about how resilience to disinformation develops and manifests in people’s daily lives. Addressing this gap, our study investigates young adults’ tactics for navigating disinformation and the resources they draw from throughout this process. Based on 29 semi-structured interviews with …

This thesis investigates the structural feasibility of a vertical extension on an existing former industrial building located in Eltville am Rhein, Germany. The case study focuses on a former cocoa factory constructed in the 1960s, which was later partially converted into residential use. Due to the …

Building energy performance is largely determined during the early conceptual design stages. However, energy evaluation is often postponed until after key architectural decisions—such as massing and façade configuration—have been finalized, limiting opportunities for meaningful optimization. This study …

Small wind turbines face significant challenges in achieving commercial viability due to lower efficiency and higher energy costs compared to utility-scale systems and competing renewable technologies. Counter-rotating dual-rotor wind turbines (CR-DRWTs) with dual-rotational armature configurations offer …

Purpose – Country-level marketing strategies are increasingly unreliable in emerging markets, and treating nationally diverse consumers as homogeneous might be misleading. This study examines how intra-national market heterogeneity shapes consumer evaluations by comparing Chinese consumers’ product purchase …

The increasing penetration of renewable energy (RE) and hydrogen technologies is reshaping the operational requirements of modern decarbonised energy systems, necessitating advanced control strategies to coordinate renewable generation, hydrogen storage, and heterogeneous end‐use demands. This paper …

Introduction: – Whether person-centered pain education approaches for Physical Therapist (PT) students elicit positive guideline-consistent changes in knowledge, attitudes, and clinical behavior is unknown. This study aims to evaluate the effects of enhanced-education compared to standard-education among …

This research developed and validated a cost-effective proof-of-concept system to measure tyre forces and moments. The C 8k setup was calibrated and verified against a wheel force transducer, demonstrating accurate measurements of the wheel axis. Road tests at the RDW test centre captured both linear …

Value Sensitive Design (VSD) offers a principled framework for embedding human values into technology, yet its practical application remains challenging due to unclear demarcations between its conceptual, empirical, and technical investigation types. This paper addresses the gap between VSD theory and …

Digital forensic scientists primarily rely on individual internal reasoning and categorical conclusions when evaluating evidence in casework. This can make it difficult to maintain structured reasoning that is logically sound, balanced, robust, and transparent. Trojan horse defense cases exemplify these …
