This report summarises evidence on how placing people at the heart of climate adaptation policy and action can improve outcomes.

This study examines the relationship between country-level digital access and vulnerability to modern slavery, focussing on countries committed to achieving United Nations Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 8.7. The study draws on information poverty theory to frame analysis of the role of d...

This paper argues that gasoline price fluctuations affect inflation through changes in consumer expectations about future energy costs. More precisely, we use data from the US Michigan Survey of Consumers and estimate a Structural VAR model to show that long-run gasoline price expectati...

This study explored the behavioural intention of university students in Malaysia to use multisensory digital learning applications encompassing vision, audition, kinaesthesis, olfaction, gustation and thermoception. Two hypotheses were tested: (1) technology anxiety has a direct and negative effect on ...

Rising urbanisation and global population growth are projected to nearly double municipal solid waste (MSW) generation by 2050. Energy-from-waste (EfW) technologies recover energy from mixed waste streams, generating electricity and heat. However, for every tonne of MSW incinerated, 0.7–1.7 tonnes...

The legal appraisal of civilian mental harm amounting to trauma is something that has been discussed by international scholars when it comes to warfare and its aftermath, but no discussion has taken place on how such civilian war trauma can be compensated for. The question...

A novel method has been introduced for measuring the surface impedance of composite material sheets at microwave frequencies. A length of circular waveguide is manufactured using the fibre-reinforced composite material and its scattering parameters are measured with the use of a network ...
