Within digital games, the traditional role of the animal is the role of a monster (and at times even non-human animals such as the wolf or bear) to slay or run away from (Johansson & Rübsamen 2024). This presents a dichotomous relationshipbetween the representation of the animal and the human-animal interactions, in which the player is often left with few choices in how to act. In many open-w
North Atlantic winter climate variability is strongly governed by the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO), which represents the dominant mode of atmospheric circulation variability over the North Atlantic-European sector. Variations in the NAO influence regional temperature, precipitation, storm tracks, and near-surface wind across Europe. Understanding the variability, drivers, and future changes of

However, existing sharing economy scholarship has largely approached sharing through the lens of access, leaving underlying ownership structures and the associated power relations insufficiently examined. This article foregrounds ownership as a critical analytical lens on shari
