Gaining access to interviewees when carrying out qualitative research is a time-consuming, challenging undertaking. When face to face with gatekeepers, the work of convincing them to share their contacts and knowledge is not over, particularly when the research involves antagonistic groups and the researcher’s positionality can be scrutinized in relation to that. In this article, based on my field

Gibson asks: how do we undo the harms of this participatory turn? How can we acknowledge that the material never fully accounts for the immaterial? How do we avoid becoming ants that need to spatialize and make visible everything they research? In this piece, I argue that some of these issues can be mediated and mitigated by entering the field with a feminist epistemological stance. I provide thre

To date, there has been limited analysis at the intersection of extractive industry and emotional geography. Our research addresses this intersection by investigating how gas extraction, production, and distribution have disrupted residents’ place attachment, and how this disruption is emotionally embodied. This research relies on 24 interviews and 2 workshops conducted in Ohio, Pennsylvania, and

Leaves are valuable, but very rare, remains in archaeological contexts, as they can provide precise information on the landscape vegetation composition, the past climatic conditions and the use of plant resources in a settlement. La Draga (Spain) is an early Neolithic site partially waterlogged, which has allowed the preservation of organic material. During the excavation of the oldest level (7300

The EU and its Member States have been increasingly engaging into cooperation with third countries with the view to containing movements and preventing refugees from entering European soil. These cooperative arrangements have been critiqued for allowing EU countries to evade their responsibilities vis-a-vis refugees subjecting them to substandard treatment in transit countries. From a distributive

Undergraduate introductory STEM courses often rely on few, high-stakes exams to assess student learning. This assessment strategy engenders high test anxiety and negatively impacts academic performance. We know little about how students want to be assessed—particularly those who experience high test anxiety. Applying a humanist learning framework, we asked students at a university in Norway to env

Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a global issue requiring a thorough understanding of risk factors to inform prevention strategies. This study applies Kraemer et al.‘s (2005) categorization system to classify risk factors for IPV perpetration, addressing two research questions: 1) What variables or attributes are commonly employed to assess the risks associated with IPV perpetration, and how can

The emergence of the modern urban water infrastructure, albeit facilitated the waste- and stormwater management, it left some negative imprints on Iran's urban and natural environment. Among which changing the hydrology of urban watershed has great importance. Moreover, lack of resilience of the current stormwater management infrastructure is increasing the risks of urban flooding and pollution of

Nanosecond pulsed discharges (NPD) have been extensively used in plasma-assisted combustion to stimulate combustion kinetics. Experimental measurement of the energy transfer processes in non-equilibrium plasma-assisted processes is extremely difficult, as the non-equilibrium plasma discharge involves numerous different species with transient and complex three-dimensional structures across various

Understanding the flame dynamics in a nanosecond pulsed discharge (NPD) is imperative for the novel technology of plasma-assisted combustion. We conducted a systematic study on the dynamics of atmospheric NPD-assisted flames in single-pulse mode using Rayleigh scattering combined with structured illumination. The study is divided into two parts. Part I detailed the measurements and CH4/air flame r

Israel’s surprise attack exposed the Islamic Republic’s staggering military vulnerability, eliminating top commanders and penetrating airspace with impunity. The regime’s collapse in air defense and intelligence is not merely operational, it reflects decades of corruption, ideological purges, and systemic decay. As the war unfolds, six scenarios emerge, including revolt and military coup.

This chapter explains that the causation inquiry performed by the European Court of Human Rights for determining breach of positive obligations has to be understood in light of the normative structural considerations that underpin state responsibility under the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR). In particular, the responsibility system is not shaped by the corrective justice rationale tha
