Economic Security, Regional Reconfiguration, and Local Governance: The Case of TSMC's Investment in Kumamoto

open access: yesPolitics &Policy, Volume 54, Issue 4, August 2026.
ABSTRACT This study examines how institutional arrangements associated with economic security reshape semiconductor production in East Asia through the case of TSMC's investment in Kumamoto, Japan. It argues that economic security operates not primarily through direct administrative control, but by redefining acceptable investment risks, narrowing ...

Facile and Efficient Synthesis of Dual‐Defect NiFe Layered Double Hydroxides for Enhanced Oxygen Evolution Reaction

open access: yesRare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT In electrocatalysis, traditional single‐atom catalysts (SACs) face challenges in achieving coordinated control of reaction pathways due to limitations such as single local energy levels and carrier recombination. By introducing an additional defect structure, it is possible to break the electronic structure symmetry, thereby activating SACs ...

Diagnosing scaling bottlenecks in 10 community conservation initiatives in southern and eastern Africa

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 2, April 2026.
Scaling area‐based conservation, including initiatives led or comanaged by Indigenous Peoples and local communities, is a flagship goal of the Kunming‐Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework. Conservationists often aspire to scale initiatives, but this is rarely achieved in practice. Identifying and addressing factors that limit initiative adoption (i.e.

First Confirmed Cooperative Breeding of the Brown Hornbill (Anorrhinus austeni) in China at the Sino–Lao Frontier 中国中老边境尚勇保护区首次记录白喉犀鸟 (Anorrhinus austeni) 的合作繁殖行为

open access: yesIntegrative Conservation, Volume 5, Issue 1, Page 10-15, March 2026.
First confirmed breeding of the Brown Hornbill in China, documented through cooperative feeding in Shangyong Protected Area. ABSTRACT The Brown Hornbill (Anorrhinus austeni), a Near Threatened frugivore, reaches the northern edge of its distribution in southern Yunnan, China, yet breeding had not been previously documented with site‐attributed nests in

Are Galliformes of the High Himalayas Well Protected? Identifying Conservation Priority Areas Using an Assemblage‐Level Approach 高喜马拉雅地区的鸡形目鸟类是否得到了有效保护?利用群落水平方法确定优先保护区域

open access: yesIntegrative Conservation, Volume 5, Issue 1, Page 74-85, March 2026.
This study investigates distribution patterns of Galliforms in the Indian Himalayas, focusing on factors influencing their occurrence, regions of high diversity and endemism, and their overlap with protected areas. Our study highlights the need for assemblage‐level conservation strategies in high Himalaya which primarily relies on snow leopard‐focused ...

Critical Infrastructure, Climate Disasters, and Cultural Survival: Policy Failures and Community Displacement in the Era of Managed Retreat

open access: yesJournal of Critical Infrastructure Policy, Volume 7, Issue 2, Fall/Winter 2026.
ABSTRACT Climate disasters are currently changing territory around the world by showing large inequalities that exist in infrastructure systems, governance arrangements, and development pathways. In many cases, climate risk response strategies like managed retreat have been framed as practical approaches to respond to increasing climate disasters ...

Orthogonal Stimulus‐Responsive Ca3Ga2Ge3O12: Pr3+ for Real‐Time X‐Ray Dosimetry and Dynamic Information Encryption

open access: yesRare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Multimodal luminescent materials are crucial for advanced information encryption, real‐time dosimetry, and high‐resolution bioimaging, yet integrating orthogonal stimulus‐responsiveness into a single‐component system is challenging. Herein, we report a Pr3+‐doped Ca3Ga2Ge3O12 (CGGO: Pr3+) garnet phosphor that exhibits orthogonally addressable ...

Deeper sociological insight needed for behaviour change: A systematic review of Chinese ivory consumption

open access: yesPeople and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 2, Page 270-282, February 2026.
Abstract Chinese consumer demand for ivory threatens vulnerable African elephant populations, despite long‐standing efforts to combat the illegal wildlife trade. Behavioural science approaches have been proposed to address these systemic behaviours. However, their robust use remains uncommon in demand management interventions.

CHINA’S LAND FINANCE AS ACTIVE MODE OF LAND DEVELOPMENT AND INFRASTRUCTURE DELIVERY: Reality, History and Prospects

open access: yesInternational Journal of Urban and Regional Research, Volume 50, Issue 1, Page 191-220, January 2026.
Abstract Henry George advocated for capturing land value increases for public ends. The active approach of public authorities organizing and financing land development can help capture higher land value increases, as Hartman and Spit indicate. However, this approach hardly happens in developing countries, where the coalition of private developers and ...
