Abstract While the physical and mental health benefits of greenspace exposure are well documented, ethnic minority communities in the United Kingdom continue to engage with these environments at disproportionately lower rates. This persistent disparity points to an oversight in existing literature, specifically regarding how these communities navigate ...

Embodied urban design: Fostering nature connectedness for pro‐conservation behaviour
Abstract Those who feel more connected with nature are more likely to act in ways that support biodiversity. How connected people feel with nature depends in part on how meaningfully it figures into their experience of the built environment. Despite an increase in urban greening measures, these approaches often overlook how people perceive, interact ...

Abstract This study evaluates the performance of different WRF model configurations in simulating all 19 heavy precipitation events over Bushehr Province, Iran, over two decades (2000–2019). For the first time, the sensitivity of combinations of three physical parameterization options—seven cumulus (Cu) schemes, three planetary boundary layer (PBL ...

Comparison of pushover methods for simple building systems with flexible diaphragms
Nonlinear static (pushover) methods have become increasingly popular in seismic analysis as they allow the explicitly consideration of nonlinear structural behaviour, while retaining the simplicity of the static analysis. Even though significant advances

Abstract Managing Death in Exile is a theatrical performance that draws on ethnographic research with long‐term asylum‐seekers from sub‐Saharan Africa in Hong Kong since 2012. The performance told the story of Denise (pseudonym), who had to manage the illness, funeral, cremation, and repatriation of ashes of her good friend, Rosie (pseudonym). Dying in
