The European standard EN 17037 was first introduced in 2018 with the aim of encouraging building designers to ensure adequate daylight in buildings. Experience has shown that the standard’s criteria for daylight provision are generally perceived to be too challenging, and this in turn has hindered its implementation in national legislations. This article proposes a revised illuminance-based criter

Apicomplexan parasites move and actively enter host cells by substrate-dependent gliding motility, an unusual form of eukaryotic locomotion that differs fundamentally from the motility of prokaryotic and viral pathogens. Recent research has uncovered some of the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying parasite motility, transmigration, and cell invasion during life cycle progression. The glid

This essay uses a microhistory of Chinese comfort women during the Asia-Pacific War to illuminate the gendered dynamics of violence and the contrasting emotions experienced by both sexually abused women and their Japanese perpetrators, forming a perpetrator-victim dyad. The essay employs the concept of intersectional emotions within a micro-historical framework to demonstrate that this violence ag

This article applies the history of emotions lens to study the emotions experienced by the ‘comfort women’ in the Japanese Empire. Emotions have been a long-neglected aspect in the study of military sexual violence. The article examines how a mélange of positive and negative emotions enabled those women to exercise some limited agency in a confined and tightly regulated space and, in some rare cas

This article explores the sociocultural history of opium consumption and its popularisation through the beauty of female attendants in Manchukuo, which was a crucial part of the Japanese Empire and an important ‘contact zone’ of diverse cultures. It offers a glimpse into the opium–prostitution nexus by exploring the legal, commercial, social, and cultural dimensions of the gendered and sexualised

Through workshops, lectures, and multidisciplinary approaches, the project 1, 2, 3 Playtime 2023–24 explored the intersections of play, games, and art. This collaboration between Inter Arts Center (IAC) and Region Skåne brought together twelve participants from various artistic disciplines and the cultural heritage sector to explore and develop game-based art as form, pedagogy, and critical reflec

Against the backdrop of fin-de-siècle France, Hannah Halliwell presents a meticulous study of feminised visual morphine addict(ion) at the intersection of art, medicine and femininity from 1870 to 1914. The book ambitiously covers many fronts through the prism of art history, ranging across topics as diverse as art, femininity, medicine and gender. It foregrounds the forces of contemporaneous anxi

This thesis investigates the ignition and flame spread behaviour of engineered wood-based materials, focusing on Medium-Density Fibreboard (MDF), Particleboard, Oriented Strand Board (OSB), and Plywood. Thermal properties, such as thermal conductivity and specific heat capacity, were analysed using Transient Plane Source (TPS) measurements. A new technique has been introduced for measuring thermal

They have cast a shadow over the international education sector, but do the reasons politicians espouse for the changes stack up?
