Australian Journal of Politics &History, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Royal Commission on the Constitution (1927–1929) is a little‐remembered event in Australian political, policy and legal history, which produced—in the words of the constitutional law scholar Geoffrey Sawer—‘a useful student's textbook and a minor alteration in the Judiciary Act’.

Extreme weather and economic crisis in the 1430s in England, and the implications for tenurial change

The Economic History Review, EarlyView.
Abstract The 1430s were characterized by extreme weather conditions, food and fodder shortages, and high mortalities among animals and humans, although the severity of events and their consequences in England have received limited attention. The economic downturn and the depressed customary land market in this decade marked the beginning of the Great ...

‘Elbow grease and yellow soap’: Housework time in working‐class households in late‐nineteenth and early twentieth‐century Britain

The Economic History Review, EarlyView.
Abstract Housework is central to feminist calls for recognition of women's work, economic histories explaining the sexual division of labour, and claims regarding the progressive role of scientific knowledge. Yet little is known about the time it actually took. We address this lacuna.

Innovation and the great divergence

The Economic History Review, EarlyView.
Abstract Recent historical national accounting data show that the timing of the Great Divergence hinges on the different trends in north‐west Europe and the Yangzi Delta region of China. Although north‐west Europe only pulled ahead of the Yangzi Delta after 1700, both the positive trend of GDP per capita in north‐west Europe after 1700 and the negative

The Heterogeneous Effect of the Italian Special Economic Zones on Firms: A Regional Analysis

Journal of Regional Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper evaluates the firm‐level effects of geographical eligibility for the Italian Special Economic Zones (SEZs) policy in the Mezzogiorno over the period 2015–2023. Since administrative records on actual incentive uptake are not available, the empirical analysis should be interpreted as an intention‐to‐treat estimate, capturing the ...

The craters that never were: Anthropogenic origins of alleged impact structures in the Chiemgau region

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Public fascination with impact craters often drives bold speculations, but rigorous verification is critical. In southeastern Bavaria, numerous depressions have been proposed to represent impact craters associated with a catastrophic event in Celtic times (between 900 BC and 600 BC)—the so called “Chiemgau Impact.” To date, the evidence ...

Environmental Cues Driving Germination of Zostera muelleri: Critical Steps Towards Seed‐Based Seagrass Restoration in Aotearoa New Zealand

New Zealand Journal of Marine and Freshwater Research, Volume 60, Issue 4, December 2026.
Seagrasses are globally important ecosystems that provide critical services, yet are rapidly declining, driving a need for restoration. While seed‐based restoration offers potential for large‐scale recovery, success is often limited at early recruitment stages.

Dead Ends and Policy Change in Chinese Experimental Governance

Governance, Volume 39, Issue 4, December 2026.
ABSTRACT Not all policy change is expansive, yet non‐expansive trajectories remain underexamined. This article introduces the concept of dead ends: a stage of the policy process in which initiatives cease to develop or be implemented in their existing form, structuring subsequent policy change such as rollback, redirection, or termination.

A New Physics‐Constrained Neural Network Approach to Retrieve CH4 Vertical Profiles From Hyperspectral Infrared Data

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 21, 16 November 2026.
Abstract Methane (CH4 ${\text{CH}}_{4}$) is a critical greenhouse gas, and accurate monitoring of its vertical distribution is essential for understanding its radiative impact and identifying emission sources. This paper introduces a novel methodology using a physics‐constrained neural network based on soft constraints to retrieve CH4 ${\text{CH}}_{4}$
