Public Procurement's Long COVID: Emergency Responses and Shifting Corruption Risks in Europe
Regulation &Governance, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The COVID‐19 pandemic caused an unprecedented surge in spending to combat the pandemic with widespread accusations of corruption. The magnitude, drivers, and trajectory of corruption across the pandemic response remain underexplored. This paper approximates the impacts of the pandemic on public procurement corruption risks and the mechanisms ...

Singapore Journal of Tropical Geography, EarlyView.Research on regional economic resilience has predominantly focused on urban contexts in Europe. This study extends the empirical foundation by examining rural agritourism resilience during the COVID‐19 pandemic in rural Chiang Mai, Thailand. Employing an evolutionary economic geography framework, this research traces the historical development of the ...

New Zealand Geographer, Volume 82, Issue 3, December 2026.ABSTRACT In a move away from exclusive use by modality, a number of shared tramping and mountain biking tracks have been developed in New Zealand. We ask: On shared tracks, what tensions arise and how are they experienced? Using data from online surveys of track‐users, we examine bikers' and trampers' perspectives and experiences of conflict.

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, Volume 143, Issue 38, October 10, 2026.Cooling holes provide a simple passive cooling strategy for polymer spur gears, reducing maximum operating temperature by up to 9.39% while introducing a measurable gear mesh stiffness penalty. A validated response‐surface model reveals how hole size and location govern this thermal–mechanical trade‐off, enabling design optimization for thermally and ...

Counting cases, conserving species: addressing highly pathogenic avian influenza in wildlife
Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 5, Page 2190-2213, October 2026.ABSTRACT Highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) has become a critical threat to wildlife, shifting from a seasonal epizootic to a persistent, year‐round panzootic with global consequences. Here, we summarise the origin, evolutionary mechanisms, and expanding host range of the current H5N1 virus (clade 2.3.4.4b) and assess its impact on wildlife. Over
