Fleeting Feminism: The Singapore Women's Federation, Singapore Chinese Left‐Wing Feminism and Anti‐Colonial Nationalism, c. 1950s

open access: yesGender &History, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In 1955, two female factory workers and trade union leaders, Tan Lee Eng and Kwek Tai Eng, established the Singapore Women's Federation (SWF) to unite women regardless of race, religion or class for the anti‐colonial nationalist struggle. Singapore Chinese left‐wing feminism emerged at the confluence of the nationalist interest in mobilising ...

MIRACLE URBANIZATION: Spatial Production and Political Legitimation in the Sochi 2014 and Beijing 2022 Olympics

open access: yesInternational Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
Abstract From desert ski resorts to subtropical Winter Games, there is a global proliferation of ‘mission‐impossible’ mega‐projects. The prevailing frameworks of city branding and urban entrepreneurism fail to explain the political logics behind these seemingly irrational projects.

Metrology for Quantum Hardware Standardization—Charting a Pathway: A Strategic Review

open access: yesIEEJ Transactions on Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Volume 21, Issue 9, Page 1282-1296, September 2026.
Advances in quantum mechanics have long underpinned metrology by enabling practical realizations of units through quantum effects. With the 2019 SI revision, traceability is anchored in defined fundamental constants, reinforcing the quantum‐mechanical basis of modern standards. In parallel, quantum technologies are transitioning from laboratory science

Making Mining Licit: Gold, Commodification, and the Everyday Performance of Law in Colombia

open access: yesAmerican Anthropologist, Volume 128, Issue 3, Page 480-493, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Ethnographies of resource‐making have shown that the extraction of resource value from objects is premised on obviating the emplaced lifeworlds that surrounded objects before they traveled to consumer markets. Much of this literature looks at such supply‐chain disentanglement from the viewpoint of corporate and formal regulatory practices ...

Unmothered at Work: Organizational Silence Around Reproductive Loss

open access: yesGender, Work &Organization, Volume 33, Issue 5, Page 1819-1842, September 2026.
ABSTRACT An identity transition refers to changes in self‐concept that can result from professional or personal shifts. Although organizations increasingly support institutionally legible and culturally normative nonwork transitions, others remain professionally stigmatized or culturally unspeakable.

Finite element analysis and empirical design models for the flexural capacity of reinforced concrete beams enclosing smooth and perforated cold formed sections

open access: yesDiscover Civil Engineering
This study investigates the flexural behavior of reinforced concrete beams encasing smooth and perforated cold-formed steel (CFS) sections. A comprehensive three-dimensional nonlinear finite element (FE) model was developed in ANSYS to simulate the load ...

Numerical study of the behavior of the bolted shear connection in cold-formed steel-concrete composite beam

open access: yes, 2022
Nowadays, composite steel-concrete systems are among the most cost-effective construction systems for application in multi-storey buildings as they combine structural efficiency and allow accelerated construction speed. Additional optimisation of these systems is possible through the application of cold- formed steel elements and innovative solutions ...

Parametric Study of Phosphogypsum‐Rock Wool‐Phosphogypsum Sandwich Lightweight Partition Wallboards Under Impact Load

open access: yesEngineering Reports, Volume 8, Issue 8, August 2026.
Based on the validated LS‐DYNA model, this study carried out a series of simulations on Phosphogypsum‐Rock Wool‐Phosphogypsum (P‐RW‐P) sandwich lightweight partition wallboards under impact load. The effects of structural and impact load parameters on their impact performance of P‐RW‐P wallboards were systematically analyzed, providing a basis for the ...
