Opis: Aim Evaluate how future environmental conditions may reshape plant distributions to identify conservation priorities in a rapidly changing environment, thereby informing effective conservation planning and mitigating the consequences of plant decline for biodiversity, species interactions and ecosystem functioning. Location Europe, with particular emphasis on the Iberian Peninsula. Methods We modelled short-term suitable habitats for rare plant species and their widespread congeners under future climate change scenarios (2041–2060). We used species distribution modelling (SDM) to project future habitat suitability for 22 pairs of congeneric species from 17 plant families, under two climate scenarios, evaluating the overall responses of rare versus widespread taxa. Using SDM, we estimated the future suitable area for each taxon by assessing potential habitat loss, habitat expansion into new areas and stable habitat, as well as the loss of currently occupied areas projected to become environmentally unsuitable under future climate scenarios. Results Our findings show that rare species are expected to lose more suitable habitat than they gain and to experience greater overall habitat loss than their widespread counterparts. However, responses varied among congeneric species pairs: 41% of rare species were projected to expand their suitable habitat, while 36% of widespread species were projected to undergo habitat contraction. Main Conclusions This study provides a practical tool to support proactive conservation planning, including the identification of priority areas for protection, population monitoring, and assisted colonisation. It also shows that currently widespread species may become vulnerable in the near future, reinforcing the need for dynamic, forward-looking conservation strategies in which SDM projections are interpreted alongside evidence on species' reproductive biology, dispersal capacity and genetic diversity.

Methods: A cross-sectional survey (N = 194 undergraduates; 52.6% women; M age = 21.9 years) used validated instruments: the Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS), Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10), Body Appreciation Scale-2 Short Form (BAS-2SF), Brief Resilience Scale (BRS), International Physical Activity Questionnaire Short Form (IPAQ-SF), and single-item measures of financial security and screen time. Physical activity (PA) was log-transformed (MET_log). Multiple simultaneous regression and structural equation modelling (SEM) were conducted. Results: Perceived stress was the strongest negative predictor of life satisfaction (B = −0.561, p < 0.001), while financial security was a significant positive predictor (B = +0.171, p = 0.023). SEM showed that body appreciation was associated with life satisfaction primarily through lower perceived stress (indirect effect = 0.107; consistent with indirect-only association pattern), while PA showed a significant direct association with life satisfaction (β = +0.143, p = 0.030), independent of the stress pathway. The indirect effect of PA via stress was not significant in the SEM. Model fit was acceptable (CFI = 0.951; RMSEA = 0.067). Conclusions: Perceived stress was statistically associated with the relationship between body appreciation and subjective well-being, while PA showed a direct statistical association with well-being that was independent of the stress pathway. Given the cross-sectional nature of this study, these findings suggest that university health promotion programmes may consider integrating positive body image and stress management components alongside PA promotion to support student psychological well-being.

Opis: Wind-driven rain (WDR) is a key source of façade moisture risk. ISO 15927-3 estimates WDR using static wall-factor tables, limited in scope and unable to capture façade-specific geometry or sheltering. This study introduces a BIM‑native workflow that dynamically computes wall factor as a geometry‑derived exposure fraction, evaluated per façade cell via ray tracing and power‑law‑based cell‑level height‑scaling factorization. Implemented in Revit, the method automates ISO corrections for terrain, topography, and obstruction, and outputs exposure fraction, wall indices, and catch ratio with façade-resolved visualization. For the cases studies presented, the BIM-Ray Tracing approach (mean absolute errors 0.03–0.06), achieved accuracy close to CFD and outperformed ISO 15927-3 with runtimes suitable for early design. While turbulence and edge recirculation remain better addressed by CFD, the workflow enables exposure mapping, rule-based checks, and integration with ISO 15686 service-life performance analysis.

Opis: Hospitality, which to this day still lacks a clear and unified definition, is often divided by the (non-)commercial aspect concerning the perception of the concept. A social practice beyond the tourism activity itself is an important component of gastronomic diplomacy. It is increasingly used today to raise the image, international recognition and differentiation of a given national entity in the (tourism) world. A clearer definition of the concept is also needed in the case of food diplomacy, as the core meaning is different from that of similar terms, such as culinary diplomacy. The methodological framework for exploring the embeddedness and connectivity of (non-)commercial hospitality with a specific food diplomacy form consists of the autoethnographic method, conducted on the case of the hospitableness symbol in an Arabic-speaking country, which, in conjunction with the theoretical literature review and personal observations and experiences, served as a basis for the creation of a system diagram in the field of soft system of system thinking.

Opis: As the construction industry adopts more data-driven and sustainable practices, Building Information Modelling (BIM) is increasingly used for energy analysis, lifecycle management, and maintenance planning. However, its integration with service life performance analysis especially for wood, a material susceptible to environmental degradation remains limited. This study presents a BIM-based framework that incorporates wood-specific parameters such as environmental exposure, material properties, and design detailing to estimate the service life of wood construction elements. The framework is structured using ISO 15,686–4 principles and implemented through custom Industry Foundation Classes (IFC) property sets. A Revit plugin developed in C# integrates the model into the BIM environment. A case study of a wooden playhouse is used as a proof-of-concept to demonstrates the framework’s ability to evaluate the impact of design, material, and environmental factors on service life. The results confirm that the framework supports service life prediction and enhances decision-making for wood-based construction. Twenty-one-month observations align with predicted results. However, long-term (2–9 year) predictions remain unvalidated, requiring extended monitoring. By integration of the service life prediction for fungal decay into BIM it offers a practical and scalable tool to support service life–informed design and planning for wood structures.
