This position paper by the international IMMERSE consortium reviews the evidence of a digital mental health solution based on Experience Sampling Methodology (ESM) for advancing person-centered mental health care and outlines a research agenda for implementing innovative digital mental health tools into routine clinical practice. ESM is a structure...
Purpose : This paper reviews and analyses renewable energy options, namely underground thermal, solar, wind and marine wave energy, in seaport cargo terminal operations. Design/methodology/approach : Four renewable energy options that are deployed or tested in different ports around the world are qualitatively examined for their overall implementat...
Precision agriculture is often seen as disembodied and placeless, promised to either bring about a fourth agricultural revolution or as the start of dystopian rural futures, where farmers and their knowledge will be replaced by machines. A growing body of literature shows more nuanced ways of working with precision agriculture. This illustrates the...
Addressing the need for sustainable sanitation in public transport and tourism, this study evaluates electrocoagulation-flotation (ECF) combined with anaerobic digestion (AD) for treating synthetic human faecal sludge (FS). Especially the effects of influent aeration and the use of either rainwater or tap water for flushing on the efficiency of pol...
The integration of advanced technologies, such as soil proximal sensing, remote sensing, and machine learning, has revolutionized agricultural practices, particularly for corn yield prediction. This interdisciplinary approach harnesses the power of cutting-edge sensors to gather high-resolution data on soil conditions coupled with remote sensing te...
In recent years, many governments have implemented environmental regulations to combat climate change. In particular, carbon taxes have shown to be an important policy tool to reduce emissions. However, there is little clarity about what drives this relationship. Based on the Porter hypothesis, we find evidence of innovation as a mediator between c...
Biogas contains low levels of volatile methyl siloxanes (VMS), which are responsible for severe damage to turbines or internal combustion engines during energy recovery. In this study, we investigated the removal of the linear octamethyltrisiloxane (L3) and cyclic octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane (D4) from gas by using two biofilters (BFs) filled with ...
The shipping industry must delineate feasible switching pathways of emission reduction technologies for vessels if it wants to meet the emission reduction targets set forth by the International Maritime Organization (IMO). This paper introduces a programming model integrating power systems, alternative fuels, and air emission control measures to de...
Carbon-negative electrified production of methanol (e-MeOH) can play a central role in sustainable chemical manufacturing in the coming years. In this context, CO2-based methanol synthesis routes solely based on renewable electricity have been proposed. However, the production route via direct air-captured (DAC) CO2 and green H-2 from water electro...
BackgroundDietitians play a critical role in the public's relationship with food and are often overlooked as an important stakeholder group in the general debate about sustainable food. Genetically modified organisms (GMOs) are one type of modern food source that could contribute to a more sustainable food system. This case study is the first to ex...
