Andres, Lauren (author), Bryson, John R. (author), Ersoy, A. (author), Reardon, Louise (author)The nature of shocks and crisis is highly diverse; crises and shocks tend to conglomerate rather than occur as single events. People and places are affected differently and have distinct abilities and resources to respond, cope and recover. Key here are path-dependent socio-economic living conditions along with pre-existent intersectional...book chapter 2024

Zhu, H. (author), Liu, E. (author), You, Fangzhou (author), de Bont, Cees (author), Gruber, Thorsten (author), Dong, Hua (author), Melles, M. (author)Economic studies have shown that living in poverty may produce a subjective feeling of scarcity, which affects people's cognitive functions and decision-making. Understanding this mechanism could inform healthcare designers on designing inclusive health interventions by considering the psychological scarcity and limited cognitive resources of...book chapter 2024

Beckmann, Julia (author), Coenen, Pieter (author), Speklé, Erwin (author), Kraal, J.J. (author)People with a physically demanding job have an unhealthy disbalance in occupational and leisure-time physical activity (PA). We aimed to understand which contextual factors influence this disbalance, and explore opportunities for lifestyle interventions that could restore this disbalance. We applied a contextmapping study with six production...book chapter 2024

Yuan, Tianyun (author), Song, Yu (author), Goossens, R.H.M. (author), Kraan, G.A. (author)Studies on finger kinematics, especially the range of motion (RoM) measurements, are essential to understand the use of finger joints and the pathology of related disease. Limited literatures compared the active RoM (A-RoM) of finger joints with either their functional RoM (F-RoM) or passive RoM (p-RoM) using different measuring protocols and...book chapter 2024

Dimova, Silvia (author), Polo López, Cristina S. (author), Sousa, Maria Luísa (author), Nogal Macho, M. (author), Gervásio, Helena (author)Concrete is clearly one of the most predominant-used material in both residential and non-residential structures across Europe (Peled and Fishman, 2021). A reinforced concrete (RC) structure is expected to satisfy criteria for serviceability, structural integrity, and stability over its designed operational lifespan, without significant loss of...book chapter 2024

Nogal Macho, M. (author)In addressing the impact of climate change on the corrosion of RC buildings, it is crucial to distinguish between two adaptation strategies. The first refers to measures integrated during the design phase for new structures. The second involves strategies implemented during the service phase to enhance the resilience of existing structures. This...book chapter 2024

Hess, Daniel Baldwin (author), Tammaru, Tiit (author), van Ham, M. (author)It has been nearly fifteen years since a large European Union–funded project called RESTATE explored challenges in housing estates throughout several European countries and served as a clearinghouse for the exchange of ideas for counteracting negative trends in large housing estates (van Kempen et al. 2005). Since that time, a series of riots in...book chapter 2024

Mosselman, E. (author), Rinaldi, Massimo (author), García de Jalón, Diego (author)The Water Framework Directive commits European Union member states to achieve good ecological and chemical status of all water bodies. As hydromorphology is a key factor for ecological status, a consortium of 26 partners from 15 countries studied the role of hydromorphological pressures and measures in the REFORM project. Its main objective was...book chapter 2024
