A Preliminary Exploratory Measurement Model for Systems Thinking in Defence and Aerospace Engineering: A Bifurcated Framework Developed via Multiple Correspondence Analysis

open access: yesSystems Research and Behavioral Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Modern engineering faces a ‘complexity crisis’ characterized by interlinked, multidisciplinary ‘wicked problems’, particularly within the defence and aerospace sectors. Although systems thinking is recognized as a critical competency for navigating this environment, empirical quantitative frameworks for its measurement remain limited.

Hybrid Temperature Modeling for the Ruhrstahl–Heraeus Process: Coupling a Data‐Driven Approach With a Physics‐Based Process Model

open access: yessteel research international, EarlyView.
A hybrid framework combining a mechanistic tanks‐in‐series model, thermodynamic data, and statistical learning methods was developed for continuous temperature prediction during RH vacuum treatment. The framework accounts for temperature changes caused by alloy additions, O2 blowing via top lance, and heat losses to the surroundings. Validation against

Rotenone Induces Morphological Damage and Reduction in Catecholamine Levels in the Central Nervous System of the Ascidian Styela plicata

open access: yesEnvironmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Ascidians are invertebrates that occupy a key phylogenetic position as a sister group of the vertebrates. The organization of their central nervous system (CNS), with cortex and medulla, indicates a plesiomorphic character of the gray and white matter of vertebrates, making this group of animals useful for studies of neurodegenerative events ...

Critical constraints to ecological buffering in a rapidly changing Arctic: A long‐term seabird study

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Drawing on two decades of research in East Greenland, this study shows that little auks, key seabird indicators of Arctic ecosystem health, can adapt to rapid environmental change through behavioural flexibility. However, increasing storms and mercury pollution are pushing resilience to its limits, providing an early warning of broader Arctic ...

Unlocking citizen participation: Network characteristics, sense of power, and place attachment as key factors in regional settings

open access: yesAustralian Journal of Public Administration, EarlyView.
Abstract This article analyses key factors related to citizen participation in place governance processes. We study how network characteristics (ties and trust), sense of power (ability to influence outcomes), and affective characteristics such as bond with place (place attachment) relate to resource‐intensive and resource‐extensive citizen ...

The effect of the mandatory disclosure of corporate tax returns on reporting bias

open access: yesJournal of Accounting Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT How do investor reactions to the mandatory disclosure of firm tax information influence managers' reporting choices? To answer this question, we build a structural model of reporting bias, which we test with a unique data set of Turkish firms that have been mandated to publicly disclose their tax returns since 2009.
