Paradoxes of Civil Society under Populism: Navigating Autonomy, Dissent, and Inclusion in the Czech Republic

Abstract This article examines how populism reshapes civil society by exploiting tensions embedded within professional organisations. Drawing on scholarship that conceptualises civil society as an inherently paradoxical sphere, this article specifies three organisational tensions...

Recent progress and future opportunities in rheology: a review by the British Society of Rheology

Abstract Rheology plays a critical role across science and engineering, affecting sectors from healthcare to energy. In the UK, rheological research supports innovation in both academia and industry. This review, coordinated by the British Society of Rheology (BSR), provides an u...

Flying through the plasmasphere to optimize low-energy ion measurements

The Juice flyby of Earth in August 2024 gave us the first chance to evaluate the performance of the Jovian Plasma Dynamics and Composition analyzer (JDC) in environments similar to those expected at Jupiter. JDC is one of the sensors belonging to the Particle Environment Package...

Modeling the Subglacial Sediment System of the Finnish Lake District Ice Lobe During Deglaciation

Abstract. The systematic connection of glacial conditions in ice models with subglacial geomorphological observations has been limited by an inability to model subglacial sediment processes. The Finnish Lake District Ice Lobe (FLDIL) presents an opportunity to apply new model app...

Compressive Sensing for Reconstruction of Noise from an Aeroengine with Elliptic-Shaped Intake

Abstract Based on our prior theoretical model for elliptical mode detection, compressive sensing is introduced in this work to overcome the limitations of Nyquist-Shannon sampling. The key contribution is showing how to apply compressive sensing to an elliptic duct, which holds p...

Fingolimod overcomes cisplatin resistance in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma by targeting NUP54 to disrupt homologous recombination repair

Cisplatin resistance is a major obstacle in the treatment of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). To address this challenge, we screened a U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved drug library and identified fingolimod, an immunomodulatory agent, as a potent inhibit...
