Explaining the socio-economic output of urban regions with a model combining urban scaling and polycentricity
(2024)Urban Scaling: Allometry in Urban Studies and Spatial ScienceUrban scaling theory and polycentric urban development are two well-known concepts that draw parallels between configurations and socio-economic conditions of urban regions. Both concepts, however, have some drawbacks, which could potentially be alleviated by combining them in a new model. In this study, income in urban regions in Switzerland is explained by combining the hierarchy of a region’s commuter network (i.e. indicator for ...Book Chapter -
Current applications using key mineral phases in igneous and metamorphic geology: perspectives for the future
(2024)Geological Society, London, Special Publications ~ Minor Minerals, Major Implications: Using Key Mineral Phases to Unravel the Formation and Evolution of Earth's CrustThe study of magmatic and metamorphic processes is challenged by geological complexities like geochemical variations, geochronological uncertainties and the presence/absence of fluids and/or melts. However, by integrating petrographic and microstructural studies with geochronology, geochemistry and phase equilibrium diagram investigations of different key mineral phases, it is possible to reconstruct insightful pressure–temperature–defo ...Book Chapter -
Researching Otherwise
(2024)How can landscape and urban studies more effectively engage in transdisciplinary dialogue, sensuousness and affect, and pluriversal worlds? Researching Otherwise presents sensory, collaborative, and restitutive methodological tools for crafting new spaces of knowledge production. Through activities such as drawing, photographing, sounding, listening, filmmaking, walking, and mapmaking, researchers explore regenerative futures in new ways. ...Edited Volume -
The Autonomy of Theory
(2024)gta editionFollowing the exhibition “Tendenzen—Neuere Architektur im Tessin” in Zurich in 1975, contemporaneous architecture in Ticino became the subject of fervent coverage in Swiss and international publications. This extended essay argues that the critical attention emancipated the narratives of Ticino architecture from the actual conditions of production, leading to the paradoxical divergence of its historiography from its history. Placing ...Monograph -

Dietary Change and Global Sustainable Development Goals
(2024)Frontiers Research Topics ~ How to Achieve a Planetary Health Diet Through System and Paradigm Change?Food production for human consumption is a leading cause of environmental damage in the world and yet over two billion people suffer from malnutrition. Several studies have presented evidence that changes in dietary patterns across the world can lead to win-win outcomes for environmental and social sustainability and can complement ongoing technological and policy efforts to improve the efficiency of agricultural production. However, the ...Book Chapter -

Smart Wearables in Healthcare
(2024)Dimensions of Intelligent Analytics for Smart Digital Health SolutionsWearable technology has great potential for health care, due to its ability to non-intrusively collect large amounts of longitudinal patient data outside of constant clinical care. Particularly, artificial intelligence (AI) may facilitate the processing and analysis of this data to generate valuable insights for clinical diagnosis and treatment, thus establishing smart wearable technology for health care. This Chapter provides a comprehensive ...Book Chapter -
Wikipédia, ou Imaginez un monde
(2024)Rue d'Ulm/EssaiL’encyclopédie libre Wikipédia a révolutionné à bas bruit l’accès à l’information pour des milliards d’individus sur la planète. Mais qui sait comment elle fonctionne? Eui édite le site? Et selon quels principes? Quand – et pourquoi – peut-on avoir confiance dans les informations qu’il fournit? Au-delà, de quoi l’encyclopédie que «tout le monde peut éditer» est-elle réellement le nom? Car Wikipédia ne représente qu’une déclinaison ...Monograph
