Experiencing and Responding to Existential Vulnerability: Navigating the Work–Fertility Treatment Interface

open access: yesGender, Work &Organization, Volume 33, Issue 6, Page 2205-2219, November 2026.
ABSTRACT The need to undergo fertility treatment to fulfill parenthood aspirations involves many challenges in professional and personal domains. Extant scholarship has tended to focus on the identity threats and individual experiences of the challenges involved, but research has not delved into the more relational experiences that may characterize ...

Enhanced Roofs for Passive Building Design: A Systematic Review of Thermal and Energy Performance

open access: yesApplied Research, Volume 5, Issue 5, October 2026.
This systematic review evaluates PCM‐ and NePCM‐integrated roofing systems for passive cooling. PCM roofs reduce heat flux and indoor temperature fluctuations, while NePCMs improve thermal conductivity with latent heat trade‐offs. Hybrid cooling strategies enhance performance, and future challenges in scalability, durability, and practical ...

Performance‐Driven Modeling and Optimization of a Pneumatic Membrane Actuator for Adaptive Building Façades

open access: yesce/papers, Volume 9, Issue 4-5, Page 13-20, October 2026.
Abstract Soft pneumatic systems offer promising pathways for adaptive façade technologies capable of dynamic shading and responsive morphology. Building on the Pneufin concept—a switchable pneumatic envelope made from polyurethane‐coated nylon membranes—this work presents a computational modeling and optimization framework integrating nonlinear finite ...

Potential and limitations for ETFE‐foils in pneumatically retractable structures

open access: yesce/papers, Volume 9, Issue 4-5, Page 27-32, October 2026.
Abstract Rising urban temperatures due to the urban heat‐island effect increase the demand for multifunctional, lightweight façade and roofing systems that span large areas and enable adaptive envelope functions – such as shading and ventilation – to improve climate resilience.

Textile Shading Facades as an Energy Retrofit Strategy: Case Study of the Cefla Office Building

open access: yesce/papers, Volume 9, Issue 4-5, Page 274-279, October 2026.
Abstract Lightweight textile membranes have increasingly been adopted in facade retrofit applications due to their minimal self‐weight, high prefabrication potential and capacity to function as external solar filters. In office buildings characterized by extensive glazed facades, excessive solar gains contribute to overheating, glare and elevated ...
