Globalizing Comparative Public Administration With Integrative Contextualization: State Autonomy in the Developmental Path of Hong Kong and Singapore

Public Administration and Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The lack of a common variable for comparison has been a major obstacle to the development of Comparative Public Administration (CPA). State autonomy enables an integrative contextualization approach, allowing both the analysis of contextual individual country experiences and the generation of generalized comparable knowledge.

On the need for biocultural approaches to restoration

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Ecological restoration is gaining global momentum for climate mitigation, yet its prevailing approach, often rooted in Western technical science, frequently appears neutral while inadvertently reinforcing power imbalances and sidelining local knowledge.

The Age and Origin of Block Deposits in the Victorian Alps, Australia

Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Large periglacial block deposits are found in the mountains of southeastern Australia. Despite their widespread distribution, their mode of formation and age are poorly understood. These landforms hold considerable potential to shed light on the nature of cooling during glacial periods. In this paper we present a new study of block deposits in

Automated Lawn Maintenance: An Agronomic and Operational Review of Turf Health, Biodiversity, and Field Performance

Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Grass mowing is one of the most resource‐consuming activities in green maintenance, whether in private areas such as home gardens or in public spaces like urban parks. In recent years, concerns related to climate change, human health, and sustainability have become increasingly prominent in green maintenance, leading manufacturers and industry

Invisible near‐infrared thermo‐stimulated luminescence from carbon dots enabled by stepwise energy transfer for concealed information encryption

Responsive Materials, EarlyView.
A fully metal‐free near‐infrared (NIR) thermo‐stimulated luminescent system is developed by embedding carbon dots into a carbon nitride matrix and integrating multistage Förster resonance energy transfer. The system exhibits long‐term charge retention, rewritable optical memory, and highly concealed NIR readout, promising for secure data encryption and

Rhyming in the cold: first evidence of soniferous fishes in the Southern Ocean

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
The acoustic ecology of Southern Ocean fishes remains unknown due to a lack of dedicated acoustic research on the fishes of this ocean. Passive acoustic monitoring data were collected at the South African sub‐Antarctic Prince Edward Islands using an underwater acoustic recorder, and towed underwater Ski‐Monkey cameras were deployed to identify fish ...
