Extracting vitalities: Cuts in Indigenous women's bodies‐territories (Brazil)
Medical Anthropology Quarterly, EarlyView.Abstract In this article, I explore the connections between the medicalization of childbirth and environmental devastation through Guarani‐Mbyá understandings of life and the living. I argue that the cuts made to Guarani‐Mbyá women's vaginas (episiotomies) in Brazilian hospitals are experienced and situated on the same cosmopolitical level as the cuts ...

Convergent Reproductive Governance and the Normalization of Caesarean Birth in Northern Thailand
Medical Anthropology Quarterly, EarlyView.Abstract Caesarean section (C‐section) rates in Thailand have nearly doubled over the past two decades, a trend often attributed to women's preferences, convenience, or advanced maternal age. Drawing on ethnographic research in Chiang Mai, northern Thailand, this article argues that such explanations are insufficient. I show that rising C‐section rates

ChemSusChem, Volume 19, Issue 19, 14 October 2026.A green approach to esterify wheat starch by reactive extrusion using a novel deep eutectic solvent has been developed. The DES acted both as a starch solvent and as an activating agent to complete the esterification within 15–30 min. This novel approach opens new opportunities for the development and upscaling of biobased polymers with promising ...

MultiRec: Effects of multiple extrusion in cast and blown film applications
The MultiRec project investigates the degradation of physicochemical and mechanical properties in linear low-density polyethylene granulate subjected to multiple reprocessing cycles without intermediate additivation. This reprocessed granulate is incorporated into stretch films for automatic wrapping.
