The Consent to Destroy: Imperial Melancholia and the Hegemony of Fragmentation

Across the world’s most powerful states, millions actively embrace the destruction of the shared reality on which democratic life depends. Democracy does not simply collapse from without; it can be unmade from within through consent. This article introduces hegemonic fragmentatio...

The bricolage of formalisation: Organisational order under institutional multiplicity in artisanal and small-scale mining

Formalisation is often understood as the rational codification of activity and the extension of bureaucratic order into informal domains. This paper challenges that assumption by advancing a new conceptualisation of formalisation as institutional bricolage, a recursive process th...

Global Groundwater–CarbonCycling Shaped byTropical Basins and Extra-Tropical Sinks

Abstract Groundwater’s role in the global carbon cycle is poorly quantified compared to other carbon reservoirs, particularly on a global spatial scale. Here we show that the carbon stock of terrestrial groundwater is approximately equal to that stored in the modern atmosphere, a...

GENERATIVE AI APPROACHES TO AIRFOIL FLOW FIELD PREDICTION

Abstract Airfoil flow field prediction is central to turbomachinery design, yet Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) imposes a computational bottleneck on iterative design and optimisation. Recent studies have explored deep-learning-based surrogate models to reduce the computationa...

Purpose Human capital is widely recognized as a key driver of value creation in organizations. However, recent perspectives highlight the emerging influence of spiritual ethics in enhancing human capital’s effectiveness, thereby changing workplace scenario. Spiritual ethics consi...

Understanding funding-related bias in gambling research: insights from unhealthy commodities industries and medical/pharmaceutical research – a scoping review

Despite the risk of funding-related bias (RoFRB) introduced by industry funding in gambling research, empirical investigations remain limited. To inform understanding of RoFRB in gambling research, this scoping review synthesized 52 peer-reviewed studies (2019–2024) spanning gamb...

Barriers and facilitators to implementing the European code of cancer practice in a rural and coastal setting: a qualitative study

Abstract Purpose The European Code of Cancer Practice (ECCP) is a patient-centred framework for good clinical cancer practice, to improve outcomes for all of Europe’s patients [1]. Given challenges with applications to rural regions, the study aimed to explore the barriers and fa...

Physicochemical quality and emission characteristics of artisanal‑refined diesel in the Niger Delta region of Nigeria and their air quality implications

This study provides a novel integrated assessment linking the physicochemical properties of artisanal-refined diesel in the Niger Delta region to its combustion emission behaviour. Diesel samples from 30 refining sites in Bayelsa and Rivers States were analysed using ASTM methods...

Identity fusion in children: A validation of the Dynamic Identity Fusion Index

Identity fusion is a strong form of group alignment, in which individuals experience a visceral sense of oneness with the group, motivating extreme forms of pro-group action. However, little is known about the emergence and development of identity fusion across the lifespan, larg...
