Respecifying Stigma and the Language of Relationships: Attributes and Categories as Contexturally‐Achieved Phenomena in the Search for Help

open access: yesSymbolic Interaction, EarlyView.
This article revisits Goffman's original formulations of stigma. In doing so, the discussion focuses, specifically, upon his emphasis that a “language of relationships, not attributes is needed.” The analysis is intended to demonstrate how Goffman's observations offer a starting point for an inquiry in to just how members produce and orient to “spoiled

Urban bats show dietary flexibility in aquatic arthropod consumption at urban and rural waterbodies

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Urban waterbodies are critical for biodiversity and provide feeding grounds for insectivorous bats. Yet, how urbanisation affects bats' food choices at urban waterbodies and the role of emergent aquatic arthropods remain poorly understood. We compared the diet of three urban bat species – Vespadelus vulturnus, Chalinolobus gouldii,and Myotis macropus –

Dynamic Multi‐Objective Optimisation of Environmental Change Degree and Similarity Based on Nonparametric Tests

open access: yesCAAI Transactions on Intelligence Technology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Dynamic multi‐objective evolutionary algorithms (DMOEAs) are widely used to solve dynamic multi‐objective optimisation problems. However, most existing DMOEAs rarely consider the severity of environmental changes and the varying impact of these changes on different decision variables, which restricts their applicability in complex dynamic ...

Arc Resistance Enhancement of Converter Transformer Tank Through Structural Improvements: Simulation and Experimental Validation

open access: yesHigh Voltage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Currently, limited research exists on the structural response and protection methods of the converter transformer tank for ± 800 kV ultra‐high voltage direct current transmission project to high energy arc faults. This research investigates the dynamic response and the vulnerable areas of the ultra‐high voltage converter transformer under the ...
