Not Necessarily Farm‐Wives: The Working Women of Rural Aotearoa/New Zealand

New Zealand Geographer, Volume 82, Issue 3, December 2026.
ABSTRACT There's a perception farm‐resident women are farmers or farmwives (e.g., cooks, record‐keepers, errand‐runners). Yet most farm‐resident women record a non‐farm occupation in their census returns. This article investigates this anomaly. It looks at the changing status of farm and other rural women, the diversity of non‐farming careers they ...

Variation on Toxic and Inflammatory Potential of Coal Smoke of Different Sources From a Region With High Lung Cancer Risk

Environmental Toxicology, Volume 41, Issue 11, Page 1311-1322, November 2026.
ABSTRACT Excess lung cancer risk in Xuanwei and Fuyuan, China, has been attributed to household air pollution from use of a locally sourced smoky (bituminous) coal. However, the carcinogenic mechanisms remain unclear. Given the important role of inflammation in lung cancer development, this study compared the proinflammatory potentials of the ...

Optimal Hedging Strategies in the Low‐Sulphur Bunker Fuel Landscape

European Financial Management, Volume 32, Issue 5, Page 1504-1527, November 2026.
ABSTRACT The IMO2020 regulation for the green transition in shipping turned the industry into using two compliant bunker fuels: very low‐sulphur fuel oil (VLSFO) and low‐sulphur marine gas oil (LSMGO). VLSFO futures contracts introduced in late 2019 and other energy‐related futures contracts indicate that the VLSFO contracts trading on the Singapore ...

Evaluation of rheological and microstructural behavior of modified asphalt binder with chitosan derived from shrimp shell powder

Results in Engineering
Chitosan derived from shrimp shells (SSPCH) was used for the first time as a biological biopolymer to modify the properties of bitumen across high, medium, and low-temperature ranges. Therefore, physical tests (penetration, softening point, and ductility)
