BACKGROUND: Objective mobility goals for elderly hospitalised medical patients remain debated. We therefore studied steps parameters of elderly patients hospitalised for an acute illness, to determine goals for future interventional trials and medical prac ...
This contribution argues that a particular scientific context made summits a place of interest for eighteenth-century travelers. This development is connected to two particular scientific practices. First, the challenges raised by making the barometer into ...
With the advent of performance-based earthquake engineering (PBEE), the need for reliable prediction of earthquake-induced collapse of structures is essential. Despite the significant progress that has been made towards this goal, there are several hurdles ...
This first Action Lab focused on the basics, such as how people understand sufficiency, how they feel about it, how they discuss (or don’t) this topic, and who should be at the table for future rounds. It was named “Sufficiency in the Swiss Habitat”, and p ...
The Washington Accord emphasises the role of ethical and societal considerations in the practice of engineering. Increasingly, national accrediting bodies are also expecting to see evidence in the delivery and assessment of ethics throughout engineering pr ...
Understanding behavior from neural activity is a fundamental goal in neuroscience. It has practical applications in building robust brain-machine interfaces, human-computer interaction, and assisting patients with neurological disabilities. Despite the eve ...
Recent advances in machine learning (ML) promise far-reaching improvements across medical care, not least within psychiatry. While to date no psychiatric application of ML constitutes standard clinical practice, it seems crucial to get ahead of these devel ...
The concept of sustainability is growing in importance for local urban governance, and indicator-based assessments represent a popular means for its operationalization. While much effort has been spent developing the technical aspects of these assessments, ...
This research aims to analyse how urban landscape patterns and stakeholders’ modus operandi relate to the way plastic waste circulate within a city. This allows for rethinking Urban Metabolism to include spatial variations and drivers that govern waste flo ...
We recently put forward an argument, the Unfolding Argument (UA), that integrated information theory (IIT) and other causal structure theories are either already falsified or unfalsifiable, which provoked significant criticism. It seems that we and the cri ...
