What is ‘relational thinking’, and how does it manifest in research?

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract People and Nature is a ‘journal of relational thinking’. This editorial explores what relational thinking can mean and how it might be operationalized in the context of humans and the environment. Relational thinking may seem intuitive because it recognizes the world's inherent interconnectedness. However, the question of how to operationalize

Local Fractional Series Expansion Method for Solving Wave and Diffusion Equations on Cantor Sets

Abstract and Applied Analysis, 2013
We proposed a local fractional series expansion method to solve the wave and diffusion equations on Cantor sets. Some examples are given to illustrate the efficiency and accuracy of the proposed method to obtain analytical solutions to differential ...

Measuring Institutional Work in Sustainability Reporting: Scale Development and Validation in the Oil and Gas Sector

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sustainability reporting has gained significant importance in assessing and enhancing organisational sustainability performance. However, there has been limited focus on how sustainability reporting managers (SRMs) perceive and engage in the institutional work that underpins reporting practices.

When Time Stands Still: The Destructive Experience of Ambiguous Loss among Mothers of Combat Soldiers

Symbolic Interaction, EarlyView.
What happens when stories refuse coherence? This article examines ambiguous loss among mothers of combat soldiers, focusing on how prolonged waiting and uncertainty infiltrate everyday life, eroding sensemaking. Drawing on ethnographic interviews, it explores how mothers experience the contraction of time and space—manifested in suspended routines ...

A family of Cantorvals

Open Mathematics, 2019
The set of subsums of the series ∑n=1∞$\begin{array}{} \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \end{array}$ xn is known to be one of three types: a finite union of intervals, homeomorphic to the Cantor set, or of the type known as a Cantorval.

Islam at the monastery: on infinity as subtractive truth L'islam au monastère : de l'infini comme vérité soustractive

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
Based on ethnographic research at Rūm Orthodox Christian monasteries in Lebanon, the article studies scenes of Islam at the monastery as they intersect with anxious public debates on, and anthropological theorizations of, sectarianism and ‘Muslim–Christian’ relations in the Mashriq.

Mainland diversification and recent island lineages in the reduviid genus Tapirocoris: an integrative taxonomic framework with four new species

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Using an integrative taxonomic framework that combines COI DNA barcodes, geometric morphometrics and phylogeography, we revise the assassin bug genus Tapirocoris and recover seven well‐supported species, including four newly described cryptic species.

Nest Survival Models and Genomics Illuminate Hybridisation Attempts, Guiding Culturally Informed Management to Recover a Critically Endangered Seabird

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.
Long‐term monitoring has revealed hybridisation attempts between the Critically Endangered Kuaka Whenua Hou (KWH, Pelecanoides whenuahouensis) and the abundant Kuaka (P. urinatrix). Here we use modelling based on population monitoring data in tandem with genomic data to investigate these attempts and the risk they pose to KWH recovery.

Local Fractional Sumudu Transform with Application to IVPs on Cantor Sets

Abstract and Applied Analysis, 2014
Local fractional derivatives were investigated intensively during the last few years. The coupling method of Sumudu transform and local fractional calculus (called as the local fractional Sumudu transform) was suggested in this paper.

Primality, Fractality, and Image Analysis

Entropy, 2019
This paper deals with the hidden structure of prime numbers. Previous numerical studies have already indicated a fractal-like behavior of prime-indexed primes. The construction of binary images enables us to generalize this result.
