Development of rubberized concrete with mineral admixtures for sustainable concrete

Abstract With the increasing demand for concrete, there are environmental concerns relating to the dwindling natural aggregates and high carbon footprint produced due to the cement industry. Current research, therefore, aims to determine if rubberized concretes can be made sustainable by ‘partial replacement of fine aggregates with waste ...

Transformation of the Agrarian Landscape and Hope in the Central Kalimantan Peatlands

Asia Pacific Viewpoint, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In Kalimantan, Indonesian Borneo, agrarian state programs and corporate strategies seek to transform indigenous Ngaju Dayak into sedentary farmers. Focusing on the notion of transformation, the paper traces whether and how rural people can engage in struggles against structural injustices.

Adaptive Spaces and Rural Futures: Climate Change, Agrarian Dynamics, and Knowledge Politics in Southeast Asian Socioecological Transformations

Asia Pacific Viewpoint, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Contemporary rural change in Southeast Asia is shaped by complex, intersecting forces that defy simplistic narratives. Researchers must therefore develop new ways to grasp nuanced, non‐linear, and locally specific processes to understand how transformational shifts may occur (or not) in the region.

Effect of Waste Tire Rubber Particles on the Properties of Rubberized Concrete

Civil Engineering Journal
Millions of waste tires accumulate annually worldwide, posing environmental and public health challenges. Recycling these tires in concrete production presents a sustainable and practical solution. The present study was intended to investigate the effects of waste tire particles of varying sizes and shapes; specifically granular, short fiber, and mixed

How Male‐Dominated Teams Deter Men's Contributions to Collective Creative Dynamics and Performance

Creativity and Innovation Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Creativity has become increasingly critical for decision‐making, particularly at upper organisational levels where male‐dominated teams remain prevalent. While a substantial body of research has examined the relationship between gender diversity and collective creativity, far less attention has been paid to numerical gender dominance in ...

LeafFit: Plant Assets Creation from 3D Gaussian Splatting

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract We propose LeafFit, a pipeline that converts 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) of individual plants into editable, instanced mesh assets. While 3DGS faithfully captures complex foliage, its high memory footprint and lack of mesh topology make it incompatible with traditional game production workflows. We address this by leveraging the repetition of

Occupational Contact Allergy to Components of Epoxy Resin Systems: Descriptive and Comparative Epidemiological Analyses Based on IVDK Data 2008–2022

Contact Dermatitis, EarlyView.
This study analyzes patch test data from 23 969 patients with occupational dermatitis to characterise sensitization to bisphenol A diglycidyl ether (DGEBA), reactive diluents, and amine hardeners. The findings show an overall decline in DGEBA sensitization with fluctuations, substantial co‐sensitization, and markedly increased risks in construction ...
