Interconnected and smart technologies complicate personal information management (PIM) because users delegate the storing, organizing, and retrieving of personal information to smart and mobile service providers. Meta-level PIM activities are required to maintain the privacy and security of personal …

Adaptive governance describes the purposeful collective actions to resist, adapt, or transform when faced with shocks. As governments are reluctant to intervene in informal settlements, community based organisations (CBOs) self-organize and take he lead. This study explores under what conditions CBOs …

Chronic sorrow involves parents’ enduring grief due to their child’s disability. This stems not only from the recurring painful reality parents face, which differs from the life they had hoped for their children, families, and themselves but from also being confronted with societal and personal norms …

People tend to be hesitant toward algorithmic tools, and this aversion potentially affects how innovations in artificial intelligence (AI) are effectively implemented. Explanatory mechanisms for aversion are based on individual or structural issues but often lack reflection on real-world contexts. Our …

Students in all types of education often have difficulty acquiring topic knowledge and insight into subject matter of various disciplines. They do not understand or cannot remember theory from their textbook. Usually, students learn theory by studying textbooks, by listening closely to their teacher's …

Data collection is crucial in modern automotive engineering. Yet, the focus on technological development often overlooks legal, ethical, and privacy aspects. This feasibility study aims to bridge this knowledge gap for SMEs and research entities by examining the technical, legal, and ethical aspects …

Antipredator responses could affect nutrient intake, which could lead to nutritional deficits. However, little is known about the antipredator response of small herbivores because most are nocturnal or crepuscular and therefore very difficult to study in the field. Therefore, we experimentally assessed …

Climate change is now considered more than just an environmental issue, with far-reaching effects for society at large. While the exact implications of climate change for policing practice are still unknown, over the past two decades criminologists have anticipated that climate change will have a number …

The crucial role of women in agrifood systems in many African countries cannot be underrated. In Liberia, women contribute to over half of the food crop production. Their involvement in cash crop production remains limited, as men primarily dominate control over the major cash crops. Cassava is the second …

The built environment requires energy-flexible buildings to reduce energy peak loads and to maximize the use of (decentralized) renewable energy sources. The challenge is to arrive at smart control strategies that respond to the increasing variations in both the energy demand as well as the variable …
