Rapid urbanization has intensified the demand for street designs that reconcile ecological quality with positive human experiences, particularly in high-density cities such as Tianjin, China. Streets function as key interfaces where ecological proces...

The spontaneous use of verbal expressions to articulate and describe abstract auditory phenomena in everyday interactions is an inherent aspect of human nature. This occurs without the structured conditions typically required in controlled laboratory...

In many contexts, the interests of nonhuman animals (hereafter “animals”) are often overlooked or considered to be a lower priority than those of humans. While strong arguments exist for taking animal moral claims seriously, these largely...

The differentiation of contemporary approaches to qualitative data analysis can seem daunting even for experienced social science researchers. Especially when they move forward in the data analysis process from general analytical strategies used in q...

Health professionals’ safety is directly linked to organizational culture, and during the COVID-19 pandemic, weaknesses at organizational, emotional, professional, and structural levels became evident. This study aimed to assess health professi...

This study uses a human-centered approach to environmental ethics to examine which perceived factors in advertising predict consumers’ intention to purchase “green”, or sustainably and ethically produced, apparel. We use eight different types of gree...

While a flurry of studies and Integrated Assessment Models (IAMs) have independently investigated the impacts of switching mitigation policies in response to different climate scenarios, little is understood about the feedback effect of how human ris...

The complexity of the odours issue arises from the sensory nature of smell. From the evolutionary point of view olfaction is one of the oldest senses, allowing for seeking food, recognizing danger or communication: human olfaction is a protective sen...

This paper reviews the robotic manipulation of deformable objects in caregiving scenarios. Deformable objects like clothing, food, and medical supplies are ubiquitous in care tasks, yet pose modeling, control, and sensing challenges. This paper categ...

Greenways are an important component of urban green infrastructure. User experiences and visual preferences are highly related to human well-being. The influencing factors of user experience and the relationship between environmental attributes with...

Understanding urban visual perception is crucial for modeling how individuals cognitively and emotionally interact with the built environment. However, traditional survey-based approaches are limited in scalability and often fail to generalize across...

Public transportation serving urban tourism has a positive impact on sustainable urban development. With the rapid rise of “subway tourism” in China and the emergence of numerous popular attractions, the pedestrian spaces connecting subwa...

Visual perception is a complex psychological operation that is used to understand our environment. Its measurement gradually penetrates various areas of human life as well as the educational process. The presented study has a theoretical–analyt...

The expanding integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in various aspects of society makes the infosphere around us increasingly complex. Humanity already faces many obstacles trying to have a better understanding of our own minds, but now we have...
