Hidden Costs of Ethical Fashion: Sustainable Development Goals and Garment Worker Exploitation in Bangladesh

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Across garment factories in the Global South, the promise of “ethical fashion” coexists with poverty wages and retaliation. This study examines why the global call for decent work has not improved labor conditions in Bangladesh's ready‐made garment industry.

Symbols of Climate Action: Audit Labor and the Production of Carbon Credits

Economic Anthropology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Voluntary carbon markets (VCMs) are promoted as tools for financing climate mitigation, yet their effectiveness and credibility remain contested. This article examines how carbon credits are produced and destabilized as symbols of climate action, emphasizing the forms of ecological and audit labor that sustain their legitimacy.

Modelling Suicide‐Related Communication Dynamics: A Socio‐Cybernetic Framework for Governance

Systems Research and Behavioral Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Suicide‐related phenomena (SPS) are often approached through individual‐level risk factors or moral framings, yet their population‐level dynamics depend critically on how ‘suicide’ becomes observable, circulates and is governed across functionally differentiated systems.

Tumor cell membrane camouflaged liposomal pharmaceuticals for cascade catalysis‐driven redox modulation and synergistic ROS/RNS antitumor therapy

VIEW, EarlyView.
A tumor cell membrane camouflaged liposomal nanoplatform (C‐MLip@LA) modulates tumor redox homeostasis to enhance targeted therapy. By encapsulating L‐arginine, anchoring MnO2 nanoparticles, and leveraging homologous membrane‐mediated specificity, C‐MLip@LA efficiently triggers a synergistic ROS/RNS cascade, amplifies immunogenic cell death, and ...

Gas check prevention during calendering of poly(vinyl chloride) films using poly(caprolactone)‐based additives

Journal of Vinyl and Additive Technology, Volume 31, Issue 2, Page 441-452, March 2025.
Three poly(caprolactone) (PCL)‐based additives of differing molecular weights were used as a secondary plasticizer to prevent gas checks in PVC films produced through calendering. Results showed that chemical and physicochemical properties influence the prevention or reduction of gas checks, unlike rheological properties including complex viscosity and
