Worldwide, cities rely on the proper functioning of critical infrastructures (CIs) such as electricity, telecommunication, water supply and transportation. Failure of those infrastructures can lead to significant and long-lasting impacts, even far beyond the flooded areas due to cascading effects. Local …

The use and adoption of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in our society is growing rapidly (Maslej 2025). Alongside this growth, the importance of specific ‘competencies’ that users need to effectively interact with and critically evaluate AI is becoming increasingly important (Long en Magerko 2020). This …

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 …

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 …

Objectives Following an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury, athletes may become more reliant on their vision to maintain postural control. Wearing stroboscopic glasses, which intermittently disrupt visual input, can result in decreased vision. However, it remains unclear whether this affects single-leg …

In nature, resources necessary for reproduction and survival are often spatially distributed or scarce. Parasitoid wasps are insects that develop as larvae in or on a single invertebrate resource (often another insect), while the adults are free-living and rely on carbohydrates, for example, floral nectar, …

In daily interaction with horses, humans primarily rely on facial expression as a non-verbal equine cue for emotional information. Difficulties in correctly recognizing these signals might arise due to the species-specificity of facial cues, possibly leading to diminished equine welfare and health. This …

With increasing technology advancement, including the rising use of smartphones, some individuals rely heavily on smartphones in their daily lives and become increasingly anxious if they do not have access to their smartphones (i.e., nomophobia [no mobile phobia]). The present study evaluated the psychometric …

Introduction Recording sap flow in plants is essential to understanding water usage, especially for herbaceous species like tomatoes. While plant physiology research has progressed, there remains a gap in applying sap flow sensor data to these species. In this study, the predictive capabilities of Recurrent …

Hyperhomocysteinemia is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease, neurological disorders, and bone abnormalities. The key enzyme in homocysteine metabolism, cystathionine-β-synthase (CBS) is recognized as a target for new homocysteine-lowering therapies including enzyme replacement and gene therapy. …
