THE VERTICAL STIFFNESS OF E-SCOOTER TIRES

Latin American Applied Research - An international journal
E-scooter sharing systems have a great international expansion. There is no publication that refers to the wheels used in e-scooters. In this work, these stiffness curves for wheels currently used in e-scooters were obtained experimentally. Average stiffness values from 0.9 E5 N/m to 3.6 E5 N/m has been obtained.

Understanding risk perceptions of e-scooter use: E-scooter users and non-users

Heliyon
E-scooters share the roads with other users, making it crucial to understand how these different road users perceive the risky behaviors of e-scooter riders. While perceptions of risk situations caused by the e-scooter rider are likely complex and multifaceted, previous research has not adequately clarified these perspectives.

Enabling Sustainability in Local Food Supply Chains: A Life Cycle Assessment‐Based Approach

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In response to escalating environmental and food security challenges, this study explores how Local Food Systems (LFS) and Short Food Supply Chains (SFSCs) can be redesigned to support sustainability goals. Drawing on a case study of a microalgae‐based food producer, the research applies a Resource Nexus Approach combined with Life Cycle ...

PRECARIZED AGEING‐IN‐PERIFERIA: Low‐Income Older Adults in a Transforming Neighbourhood

International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
Abstract In this article we investigate how intersecting forms of precarity shape the everyday practices of ageing‐in‐place developed by low‐income older adults in Via Milano, a historically segregated yet rapidly transforming neighbourhood in Brescia, northern Italy. We draw on qualitative and ethnographic research to examine how diverse urban changes—
