Beyond Universalism: A Contextual Approach to Comparative Public Administration

Public Administration and Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In this essay, I advocate for a contextual approach to comparative public administration, arguing that effective governance reform requires moving away from universal models to embrace local political, socioeconomic, and institutional realities.

Emerging applications of large language models in ecology and conservation science

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Large language models (LLMs) mark a major development in artificial intelligence, with potentially transformative implications for ecology and conservation science. Built on advanced deep‐learning architectures, these models can support a wide range of tasks. We reviewed emerging applications of LLMs, drawing on the wider scientific literature

Changes in the transformative potential of action proposals in Finnish Red Lists from 1986 to 2019

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Red lists provide critical knowledge regarding biodiversity decline, especially in Finland, where broad assessments have been made regularly since the 1980s. They deliver information on the threat status of species and ecosystems, propose actions to guide conservation policy, and have the potential to spur transformative change.

Laws, Enforcement, and Strategy: A Multi‐Layered Qualitative Study of Multinational Enterprise Compliance Under European Union and Chinese Data Protection Regimes

Policy &Internet, Volume 18, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT In an era of proliferating but divergent data protection regimes, the European Union's rights‐based approach and China's sovereignty‐centric model have become two dominant poles of global data governance. This article examines how multinational enterprises navigate compliance under these dual systems and how that compliance is shaped through ...

Intelligent Material Framework for Data Mining and Performance Prediction of Invar Alloy

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Invar alloys exhibit a low coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) over a wide temperature range and are regarded as critical materials for precision engineering and aerospace applications. In this work, an integrated OLR‐IMF (an intelligent material framework based on optical character recognition [OCR], large language models [LLMs], and ...

Structural Modulation of Magnetic Softness in Fe‐Based Amorphous Alloys via Pulse Current Training

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Fe‐based amorphous alloys, despite their intrinsically low magnetocrystalline anisotropy, suffer from quasi‐dislocation dipoles and localized stress fields that impede domain‐wall motion and increase coercivity. Here, we introduce pulse current training (PCT) as an energy‐efficient technique to overcome these limitations in a Fe76Si9B10P5 ...

Root exudates mediate microorganisms to improve rhizosphere nutrient availability and crop productivity under straw mulching and slow‐release nitrogen fertilizer

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 6, Page 1725-1739, June 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Root exudates play a key role as signals and nutrients in mediating plant–microbe communication. However, critical knowledge gaps remain regarding how root exudates mediate soil–microbe–plant interactions to regulate crop yield under long‐term straw mulching combined ...

Multiscale Simulation‐Driven Micro‐Bubble Bottom‐Blowing Electrolysis Toward High‐Efficiency Titanium Scrap Recycling

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT The large‐scale application of titanium is limited by its high production costs, as well as its low utilization and recycling rates. Therefore, efficient recovery of titanium scrap offers a viable pathway to reduce its cost. Molten‐salt electrolysis offers a promising route for upcycling titanium scrap, but the conventional method, which ...

Interfacial Engineering of Sodiophilic Metal Layers on Liquid Alloys for Dendrite‐Free Sodium Metal Anodes

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Sodium metal batteries hold significant promise for large‐scale energy storage due to the high theoretical capacity and abundant sodium sources, yet sodium‐metal anodes are hindered by dendrite propagation, unstable solid electrolyte interphase, and poor cycling efficiency arising from uneven Na deposition and volume changes.
