Green Health. Examining the role of green space characteristics and their proximity in green space health pathways
No full textThis doctoral thesis critically examines green space characteristics and their proximity to residents in their ability to help reduce the global disease burden of non-communicable diseases. By dissecting three pivotal pathways of theorized green space health effects through increased physical activity, increased social cohesion, and reduced air pollution, the thesis aims to provide new insights into which green space characteristics drive these relationships and in which distance they occur. To achieve these aims, this thesis develops reporting guidelines for the research field, a QGIS script for automatization of green space indicator development and uses two complementary sources for data collection. It builds on the self-reported data on physical activity, social cohesion, air pollution, health and mental health from the URBiNAT project and its case studies in the four European satellite neighbourhoods Nantes-Nord (France), Porto-Campanhã (Portugal), Sofia-Nadezhda (Bulgaria), and Høje-Taastrup (Denmark) and complements it with a rigorous spatial analysis. This enabled a rigorous sensitivity analysis based on up to 135 structural equation models per pathway. The results of this doctoral research revealed distinct green space characteristics and proximities that drive each pathway, including thresholds where these associations disappear or even change direction. It concludes that interconnected, multi-use green corridors are more beneficial than isolated patches for all space strategies to shift focus from mere ratios to green mobility infrastructures. Although rooted primarily in European contexts and of a cross-sectional nature, the doctoral research provides new evidence for urban planning and public health. It emphasizes the practical implications of how to design green spaces to address health concerns. The results not only resonate with the WHO's Urban Health Research Agenda but also provide tangible recommendations for a healthier human habitat

Human Factors in Hypertext (HUMAN'24)
No full textHUMAN 2024 is the 7th workshop of a series for the ACM Hypertext conferences. The HUMAN workshop has a strong focus on the user and thus is complementary to the strong machine analytics research direction that could be experienced in previous conferences.
The user-centric view on hypertext not only includes user interfaces and interaction, but also discussions about hypertext application domains as well as human-centered AI. Furthermore, the workshop raises the question of how original hypertext ideas (e.g., Doug Engelbart’s “augmenting human intellect” [6] or Jeff Conklin’s “hypertext as a computer-based medium for thinking and communication” [5]) can improve today’s hypertext systems
Enhancing GPU Rendering Efficiency through Scene Optimizations: A Case Study using Octane for Cinema 4D
Get PDFThis thesis examines the impacts of scene and rendering optimizations techniques aimed for GPU rendering within the realm of animated scene for offline rendering. Focusing on the unique challenges posed by dynamic animations, the research explores how these rendering approaches impact rendering speed, memory efficiency, and the attainment of lifelike visual quality. Using Octane render as ground for analysis, this study aims to uncover how scene optimizations intersect with the demands of animated content. Through meticulous comparison, this thesis endeavours to provide insights that empower rendering practitioners and animators to go through optimization strategies, bridging the gap between efficient resource allocation and the pursuit of captivating visual
