Cross-border commuting might be a way to improve an efficient allocation of labour resources, improve the economic performance of border regions and reduce economic and territorial inequality. This study explores the impact of a set of socio-economic, infrastructural or cultural explanatory variables …

This is the last of a series of 3 columns on uncertainty. A response to uncertainty can be radicalization, It is argued that confirmation bias plays a role in this initial “radicalization”: the tendency to prefer information that confirms one's belief as “facts” to contradictory information (“fake news”). …

The more uncertainty, the more we cling to uncertainty reduction, such as predictive technologies (data science, AI) and futurologists, who promise a technological heaven on earth, even though we now really know that every new technology brings about a world of new uncertainties (or downright problems). …

The last decade we saw an increasing academic, policy, and professional interest in the use of co-creation to tackle societal challenges. Most research focused on qualitative analysis of case studies. This led to an understanding that co-creation is essential for social innovation. We started this paper …

Bulk molding compound (BMC) thermoset (bio) composites are difficult to recycle because they cannot be melted for reprocessing. However, this group of materials is often used in high-end applications where strength and lightweight materials are required, such as boat hulls, aircraft parts, car parts, …

This paper is aimed at understanding the role Miscanthus x giganteus has in the strength development of concrete. The use of natural fibres to reinforce brittle materials is not a novel idea, but its use has been limited. This paper is designed to provide more knowledge on the topic of natural fibre …

Background To gain insight into the role of plantar intrinsic foot muscles in fall-related gait parameters in older adults, it is fundamental to assess foot muscles separately. Ultrasonography is considered a promising instrument to quantify the strength capacity of individual muscles by assessing their …
