Rulers on the road: Itinerant rule in the Holy Roman Empire, AD 919–1519

Making Mining Licit: Gold, Commodification, and the Everyday Performance of Law in Colombia

Much of this literature looks at such supply‐chain disentanglement from the viewpoint of corporate and formal regulatory practices ...

Acta Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica, EarlyView.
Termination of pregnancy is not a “modern” societal issue, but one that has been afforded to women, albeit with varying degrees of success, over many centuries.

Development and Change, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article intervenes in postcolonial and decolonial critiques that portray Karl Marx and Marxism as intrinsically Eurocentric and inattentive to race, colonialism and non‐European revolutionary agency.

Introduced dung beetles suppress methane emissions from cattle dung and alter the temporal dynamics of greenhouse gas flux Los escarabajos peloteros introducidos suprimen las emisiones de metano del estiércol de ganado y alteran la dinámica temporal del flujo de gases de efecto invernadero Besouros coprófagos introduzidos suprimem as emissões de metano do esterco bovino e alteram a dinâmica temporal do fluxo de gases de efeito estufa

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.
Dung beetles suppressed cumulative methane flux from cattle dung by 85% and reduced total greenhouse gas emissions by 18%. Beetle activity accelerated initial CO2 release but did not alter total cumulative flux. N2O and NH3 fluxes were transient and not consistently driven by beetle presence.
