Rural Intangible Cultural Heritage Governance: Discursive Alignment for Sustainable Development

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Intangible cultural heritage governance is increasingly relevant to sustainable rural development, yet the conditions under which public, private and residents align priorities, responsibilities and legitimacy remain underexplored. This study examines how these actors conceptualise, prioritise and discursively legitimise it in Bergamo (Italy).

Early deficits in speech perception in carriers of the p.Pro51Ser variant in the COCH gene : a prospective longitudinal evaluation of speech perception in quiet and noise. [PDF]

: The primary concern among adults with regard to their hearing is the difficulty in comprehending speech, particularly in noisy environments. The constant need to listen attentively leads to heightened frustration, fatigue and decreased concentration ...

A Preliminary Exploratory Measurement Model for Systems Thinking in Defence and Aerospace Engineering: A Bifurcated Framework Developed via Multiple Correspondence Analysis

Systems Research and Behavioral Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Modern engineering faces a ‘complexity crisis’ characterized by interlinked, multidisciplinary ‘wicked problems’, particularly within the defence and aerospace sectors. Although systems thinking is recognized as a critical competency for navigating this environment, empirical quantitative frameworks for its measurement remain limited.

Mineworkers' Perspectives on Whole‐Body Vibration Exposures in the Ghanaian Mining Industry

Safety Science and Technology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Across most industries, there appears to be greater commitment to occupational safety than to occupational health, largely because safety effects are readily observable, whereas health effects are hard to notice, as they take prolonged exposure to become apparent.
