This research explores innovative approaches to sustainability in the construction sector through the integration of recycled and advanced materials. Key areas include the reuse of industrial waste—such as sewage sludge, brick fragments, glass, plastic, marble cuttings, within concrete formulations and structural components.

Professor Eva Olsson is a distinguished scholar at Chalmers University of Technology, a member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, and serves on the Nobel Committee for Physics, representing the pinnacle of scientific achievement in Sweden and beyond.

Professor Alan S. Goldman is a Distinguished Professor at Rutger University's Department of Chemistry.

This talk will introduce a suite of originally developed, multidimensional spatial-omics technologies that break through these barriers.

This perspective brings intuitionistic mathematics closer to the frameworks used by physicists, bridging the gap between mathematical formalism and the dynamic nature of physical reality.

Dabei erweisen sich die drei philosophischen resp. phänomenologischen Ansätze bis heute als sowohl grundlegend wie inspirierend für das philosophische Selbstverständnis der Gegenwart im globalen Maßstab.

Renaud Barbaras, a renowned French phenomenologist, has held the prestigious Chair of Contemporary Philosophy at Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne University since 2002.

This presentation analyzes the development of phenomenology resulting from its engagement with East Asian thought, with a specific focus on Japanese philosophy.

This paper examines the causal impact of Berkeley’s sugar-sweetened beverage (SSB) tax on beer purchases and prices using scanner data from 2014–2015.

The talk describes how the ALPACA and ALPACA Plus Joint Industry projects, led by Imperial College London and Oxford University ran from 2017 to 2022 to investigate the behaviour of piles driven in chalk, a very weak limestone.

Our findings highlight the heterogeneous response of households to the Brexit vote, offering a potential explanation for why many economists' pessimistic forecasts regarding Brexit’s short- and medium-term economic con sequences have not fully materialized.

The report will explore how phenomenology can be most effectively applied and which topics are most worthy of phenomenological intervention.

This paper presents an argument to the conclusion that machines can acquire human mindedness, that is, they can be intelligent, conscious, sentient, etc.

Viviparity is widespread among animals, with many species nurturing their offspring in the uterus via a placenta. This process requires adaptive modifications to ensure the embryo’s development within the mother.

In this talk, I take a novel approach by shifting focus from the informativeness of agreement among expert testimonies to the informativeness of the entire experiment of consulting experts.

I will present some recent advances on using the scalar auxiliary variable (SAV) approach and Lagrange multiplier approach to develop highly efficient and accurate structure preserving schemes for a large class of complex nonlinear systems.

This report will use case studies to illustrate how heritage management requires greater creativity and innovation, even though certain approaches remain controversial.

This lecture will examine the role of crisis in global governance, its evolving concept and impact on IR scholarship. It will address the ambiguity of the crisis concept, seen in terms like “permacrisis” and “polycrisis,” and its use in various contexts such as financial instability and climate change.

Edwin Leeansyah is an Associate Professor at Tsinghua Shenzhen International Graduate School (SIGS), Tsinghua University. Dr. Leeansyah'sresearch group seeks to understand the roles of MAIT cells in infection and immunity within barrier tissues, particularly within the gut. His group developedthree-dimensional human intestinal organoid technology to test hypotheses regarding mucosal T cell tissue residency and their roles in gastrointestinal infection, inflammation, and immunity.His
