Aftasten/Tantear: A sensorial, coalitional wayfinding among Muslim runners

Feminist Anthropology, EarlyView.
Abstract Muslim recreational runners in Muslim‐minority settings that take up running as their preferred form of leisure indicate that they feel they have to navigate a sense of exclusion when running outdoors. This article explores the process of exploration and sensing in public, represented by the Dutch verb aftasten, to investigate the way Muslim ...

Superhydrophobic Asphalt Pavements: Surface Improvement [PDF]

EPJ Web of Conferences, 2020
The most adverse weather condition for road safety happens when there is water, snow, or ice on the road surface because their presence highly decreases friction. Therefore, it is essential to drain or repel them quickly. If the water drops are repelled from the surface or the ice/snow formation is avoided with the application of superhydrophobic ...

The Influence of Using Recycled Asphalt Pavement and Crumbed Rubber on Asphalt Pavement: A Review

Al-Nahrain Journal for Engineering Sciences, 2023
Reclaimed (recycled) asphalt pavement (RAP), the most recycled material worldwide, is the mostly reclaimed material utilized in hot mix asphalt. Polymer (Crumb rubber) incorporation frequently leads to enhanced durability and resistance to heat cracking and rutting, two forms of permanent deformation.

A Multiple Soil Threats Assessment for Europe by 2050

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT European soils are exposed to multiple interacting soil threats (STs), challenging the European Commission's objective of restoring healthy soils by 2050. This study provides the first integrated EU‐scale projection of four major soil threats—soil compaction, soil organic carbon loss, soil erosion and soil sealing—under two IPCC climate ...

From Plot to Block: Participatory Land Use for Climate‐Resilient Detached Housing in Finland

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigates how urban planning in Finland is adapting to climate change, focusing on the practical challenges planners face in single‐family housing areas. It draws on participatory workshops with municipal planners in Pori and Joensuu, where three planning tools—green factor metrics, impermeable surface limits, and the 3–30‐300 ...
