Abstract: Before we jump into our latest edition, I’d like to welcome our new
Editor-in-Chief, Prof. Ing. Simon G. Fabri, to THINK! An engineer by
profession, Fabri is currently Professor with the Department of Systems
and Control Engineering as well as Pro-Rector for Research and Knowledge
Transfer. He has been instrumental in bringing this edition on Emotional WellBeing to life!
You’re stuck in traffic despite your best efforts to leave early. Your hands
grip the steering wheel tightly, and you clench your teeth in frustration. You
grow indignant at the terrible road design; the motorist ahead of you has
their hand dangling out of the window, and even that annoys you. Your mind
begins racing, each impression riling you up further, your train of thought
hijacked by anger. [excerpt]2022-07-01T00:00:00ZTHINK : Issue 39 : October 2022/library/oar/handle/123456789/1251222024-07-31T08:46:42Z2022-10-01T00:00:00ZTitle: THINK : Issue 39 : October 2022

Abstract: As we move through the world, we are surrounded
by an invisible dance: particles of air and matter
silently in motion around us, their choreography dictated
by rules of the universe, diffusion, and fluid dynamics. It
may seem like we are overcomplicating and romanticising
this process in equal measure, but understanding how this
matter moves through our environment is an immensely
complicated and important process for us to understand.
From aerodynamics to public health, understanding how
air and matter move through the world does matter to us,
because it affects the behaviour of flying aircraft and the
spread of airborne pollutants, just to give a few examples! [excerpt]2022-10-01T00:00:00ZSocial well-being/library/oar/handle/123456789/1251202024-07-31T08:45:27Z2022-10-01T00:00:00ZTitle: Social well-being
Abstract: Have you ever wondered what the role of society is? Why do
we, as a species, instinctively form communities or tribes?
In a broad sense, humans are social animals, and coming
together as a tribe allows us to socialise, share food and information,
and perhaps rally behind a common identity or unite against a
common danger. [excerpt]2022-10-01T00:00:00Z
