Advanced Thermal Manikin for Thermal Comfort Assessment in Vehicles and Buildings

Applied Sciences, 2022
Among the factors that influence the resilience and sustainability of cities in general, and of inhabited spaces in particular, there are extreme temperatures and, in particular, for people, thermal comfort is something that should be considered.

Bricks, knots, and bodies: Material encounters and the affective making of masculinity

British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper examines how creative research methods do not just capture boys' experiences of masculinity, but actively materialise them. Drawing on two arts‐based activities used in school‐based fieldwork (a mannequin‐based exercise with one participant and a Lego‐building workshop with a small peer group), the paper analyses how materials ...

Micro‐ and nanoplastics in gastrointestinal disorders: Mapping the translational gap between exposure, biomonitoring, and pathogenic mechanisms

BMEMat, EarlyView.
This review highlights critical “translational gaps” in understanding micro‐ and nanoplastics impacts on gastrointestinal diseases, bridging exposure, detecting, and mechanistic toxicology. Abstract Micro‐ and nanoplastics (MNPs) have become pervasive environmental contaminants with increasing evidence linking them to adverse health outcomes.

Good Deeds for Self‐Gain? How Self‐Enhancement Motivates Pro‐Environmental Behaviour in Entitled Consumers

Journal of Consumer Behaviour, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT While personality traits often influence individuals' willingness to engage in prosocial and pro‐environmental behaviours, psychological entitlement tends to undermine such actions. Although extensive research has highlighted the negative social consequences of entitlement, including its impact on pro‐environmental behaviours, its potential to

Aerogel Fiber: A One‐Dimensional Programmable Porous Matter for Next Thermal Management Materials

Interdisciplinary Materials, EarlyView.
Aerogel fibers are redefined as one‐dimensional programmable porous matter, where thermal transport is governed by multiscale pathway engineering. By reconstructing and decoupling transport pathways from molecular to textile scales, these systems integrate insulation, radiative cooling, and adaptive thermal regulation.
