Abstract Background Soccer is a high-intensity contact sport, and the patterns and burden of injuries can vary based on age, sex, and player level. To better understand injury occurrence, it is important to identify biopsychosocial factors that are associated with injuries. Our s...

Cost efficiency of mobile warehouse based last-mile delivery: A comparative analysis of delivery vehicles and facility location strategies

The increasing cost and environmental impact of last-mile home delivery have intensified interest in alternative urban logistics configurations. Mobile warehouses (MWs), which act as temporary urban micro-depots enabling two-echelon delivery, offer potential reductions in last-mi...

Producer-led inquiry: researching your own media production
