Wellness Retreat:restorative environment for all senses

Abstract. Recent times of pandemic have brought to light growing concern for human well-being and showed the complexity of this issue. In an architectural context, spaces where we spend most of our time and their quality need to be re-evaluated. This thesis looks into environments that support well-being. Several aspects are considered: the role of human senses and perception of spaces, understanding the impact of nature on our well-being and principles of the restorative environments. With the gained knowledge, the aim is to create a concept design of the Wellness Retreat that is restorative and accounts for human senses. The thesis is divided into two parts. Firstly, the theoretical base aims to highlight how our surroundings affect our well-being. To begin with, a better understanding of how human senses work in terms of spatial experience shows that sensory-rich environments strengthen the experience and induce emotions, which may contribute to our wellness. Commonly observed lack of nature within urban environments triggered the investigation of the relationship between humans and nature. It implies that the awareness of our meaningful bond with the natural environment is crucial, and the presence of nature is essential to our well-being. Within a built environment, thoughtfully designed spaces can support healing and well-being. Principles and solutions of the design for achieving restorative environments often derive from nature. In the end of the first part, two case studies are investigated for solutions of supportive design and how human senses are engaged to architectural design. Finally, the conclusions section sums up the theoretical knowledge for the design phase. Lastly, the second part of the thesis introduces a concept design of the Wellness Retreat based on the principles of a restorative environment, which creates an interaction between users and the building using all senses. It is located in the Swiss Alps by Lake St. Moritz, and serves as a place for slowing down and finding balance. Meaningfully integrated nature, proposed program and created atmosphere support the well-being of body and mind

Circadian Forensics

The main objectives of criminal investigation are to determine the who, the how and the when of the crime. Who was the perpetrator that committed the criminal offense; how did the crime happen; and when or at what time did the crime happen. Currently, there are methods which allow the researchers and investigators to answer the first two questions, the who and the how. The when, however, is still in need of developing reliable and precise tests. Research presented in this thesis aimed at unravelling one of the aspect of the when – what time during the day or night a biological trace was left at the crime scene – by applying the insights from circadian biology to an open forensic problem. The first chapter of this thesis gives a brief introduction into the circadian systems and their involvement with other physiological processes in humans. The second chapter describes research undertaken to determine the utility of miRNA markers miR-142-5p and miR-541, which were previously proposed for forensic time of death determination (Odriozola et al., 2013), for blood stain deposition timing. Contrary, we did not find these particular miRNA markers suitable for estimating blood trace deposition time. In the next chapter, the assessment of expression patterns of genes, that were implied to be rhythmic mostly in animal models or in various human peripheral tissues, in human blood from healthy volunteers subjected to sleep laboratory protocols, is presented. In this study, the rhythmicity of several clock-controlled genes in humans was established, and the most informative ones were subsequently tested to determine their potential to predict time of day for forensic purposes, as reported in the following fourth chapter. The fifth chapter describes a study on the rhythmicity of metabolites tested in human blood samples. In this project metabolites with robust, 24 hour rhythms were identified, and their suitability for blood trace deposition timing was determined. The final chapter provides a general discussion on the research presented in this thesis, including elaboration on ongoing as well as future studies on this subject

Nonlinear “oddities” at the percolation of 3D hierarchical graphene polymer nanocomposites

The nonlinear rheology of a novel 3D hierarchical graphene polymer nanocomposites was investigated in this study. Based on an isotactic polypropylene, the nanocomposites were prepared using simple melt mixing, which is an industrially relevant and scalable technique. The novel nanocomposites stand out as having an electrical percolation threshold (≈0.94 wt%) comparable to solution mixing graphene-based polymer nanocomposites. Their nonlinear flow behavior was investigated in oscillatory shear via Fourier-transform (FT) rheology and Chebyshev polynomial decomposition. It was shown that in addition to an increase in the magnitude of nonlinearities with filler concentration, the electrical percolation threshold corresponds to a unique nonlinear rheological signature. Thus, in dynamic strain sweep tests, the nonlinearities are dependent on the applied angular frequency, potentially detecting the emergence of a weakly connected network that is being disrupted by the flow. This is valid for both the third relative higher harmonic from Fourier-transform rheology, I3/1, as well as the third relative viscous, v3/1, Chebyshev coefficient. The angular frequency dependency comprised non-quadratic scaling in I3/1\ua0with the applied strain amplitude and a sign change in v3/1. The development of the nonlinear signatures was monitored up to concentrations in the conductor region to reveal the influence of a more robust percolated network
