What Can the State of Nature Justify?

open access: yesPhilosophy &Public Affairs, Volume 54, Issue 2, Page 116-128, Spring 2026.
ABSTRACT Social contract theory is one of the most popular approaches to political justification. While the state of nature account in social contract theory is generally invoked to justify the state's authority, I argue in this paper that no extant account succeeds in doing so.

Susceptibility to misinformation and propaganda during wartime: Evidence from the Israel‐Gaza war

open access: yesPolitical Psychology, Volume 47, Issue 3, June 2026.
Abstract Advances in digital technologies have facilitated the creation and dissemination of misinformation, creating a complex information ecosystem where distinguishing between real and fake content has become increasingly challenging. Wars, in particular, present a unique case in which misinformation is often weaponized to shape public perception ...

Beyond WEIRD societies: Global social identifications across 45 countries and their socio‐cultural and economic predictors

open access: yesPolitical Psychology, Volume 47, Issue 3, June 2026.
Abstract In an increasingly globalized world challenged by multiple social problems, global social identifications (GSIs, e.g., with all humanity) are concepts of growing interest. Although such identifications can be affected by the cultural contexts in which they are manifested, research on them remains largely confined to Western, Educated ...

Emerging Biotechnologies and the 1972 Biological Weapons Convention

open access: yesTexas A&M Law Review, 2015
In light of the quandaries presented by domestic law, has the Biological Weapons Convention of 1972 (“BWC”) also been so outpaced by the technologies that it is no longer effective and meaningful in international law? Part II will examine the continuum of official actions that have attempted to keep pace with the growing biotechnologies that may ...

Boosting Photo‐Pyroelectric Effect via Tunable Polarization and Interfacial Defect Engineering

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 25, 4 May 2026.
This study reports Ba(Ti0.85Zr0.15)O3 nanocatalysts with enhanced polarization and oxygen‐vacancy‐rich interfaces for efficient NIR‐II photo‐pyroelectric therapy. Zr doping boosts the pyroelectric coefficient and accelerates polarization switching, while oxygen vacancies improve photothermal conversion and surface reactivity.

Beyond Body Mass, Beyond Adulthood: The Ontogeny of Sexual Size Monomorphism

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Biological Anthropology, Volume 190, Issue 1, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Objectives Contest competition for mates and female reproductive energetics influence body size and sexual dimorphism across many primates; nevertheless, some monomorphic species defy these patterns. These deviations may reflect biological anthropology's focus on body mass and adult size as defining features of sexual dimorphism.

Information retrieval or document retrieval? Terminological confusions and unrealistic goals in information science, exemplified in relation to generative artificial intelligence

open access: yesJournal of the Association for Information Science and Technology, Volume 77, Issue 5, Page 714-726, May 2026.
Abstract ChatGPT and related technologies have revived an old issue in information science (IS) concerning information retrieval (IR) versus document retrieval. Since 1950, the term IR has primarily been used as a misnomer for document retrieval. This problematic terminology reflects a desire to go beyond documents and provide, in response to user ...
