Case...
Mainstreaming stormwater NBS: A study in transition governance
Damman, Sigrid; Glotzbach, Raül; Gomes, Carla; Haugland, Bård Torvetjønn; Collette, RachelleSustainability transitions challenge established governance models, in terms of balancing short- and long-term objectives, adaptation and mitigation, local and global perspectives, and fostering innovation, while maintaining stability. Recent research calls for more knowledge on managing such trade-offs and tensions. We address this gap through a study on stormwater management, where current efforts to mainstre...

Early detection of metastatic disease through screening ultrasound
Vaz, Bruna; Miravent, Sérgio; Gomes, Carla; Gago, Rui; Lobo, Manuel Duarte; Almeida, Rui PedroScreening ultrasound is crucial in emergency care, providing precise guidance for patients in various situations. Its versatility, real-time imaging, and lack of radiation make it invaluable, especially in settings lacking diagnostic resources and specialized expertise. The widespread use of screening ultrasound among health professionals, regardless of their level of sonographic expertise, emphasizes the need ...

The increase in consumption in recent decades - from households to agriculture to industry – compounded by climate change - has contributed to a growing pressure. Water stress is not just a concern of S...
