Asymptotic properties of cross‐classified sampling designs

open access: yesCanadian Journal of Statistics, Volume 54, Issue 3, September 2026.
Abstract We investigate the family of cross‐classified sampling designs across an arbitrary number of dimensions. We introduce a variance decomposition that enables the derivation of general asymptotic properties for these designs and the development of straightforward and asymptotically unbiased variance estimators.

Revisiting Fisher's n‐D statistical vision: From algebraic abstraction to modern visualization

open access: yesCanadian Journal of Statistics, Volume 54, Issue 3, September 2026.
Abstract We revisit early foundational results in mathematical statistics derived by Ronald A. Fisher. They involve sampling distributions of statistics calculated from independent and identically distributed Normal observations, namely the root mean square deviation; the mean absolute deviation, conditional on already knowing the value of the root ...

Boredom, despondency, and the scourge that lays waste at noon: an anthropology of acedia Ennui, abattement et le fléau qui frappe à midi : une anthropologie de l'acédie

open access: yesJournal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, Volume 32, Issue 3, Page 946-964, September 2026.
Attentive to the ways that inertia can take hold of life, Catholic monks recognize despondency as a potential not only within the monastery, but in contemporary society more widely. Such experiences are regularly mapped onto an understanding of what early Christian monks termed ‘acedia’ (a Greek term that can be translated as ‘lack of care’). Taking as

open access: yesJournal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, Volume 32, Issue 3, Page 983-1002, September 2026.
Contemporary artificial intelligence (AI) technologies are often presumed to be capable of revealing unmediated truths about the world, including the truths language might hold, echoing the long‐standing assertion that language's primary function is to directly translate reality.

Measuring Administrative Burden: Bringing the State “Back in” as a Reflexive Actor in Burden Reduction

open access: yesPublic Administration, Volume 104, Issue 3, Page 440-458, September 2026.
ABSTRACT This study examines how governments measure administrative burdens in citizen–state interactions. Although scholarly interest in the burden framework has grown, little is known about how states themselves track and reduce these costs. A scoping review of 38 academic and gray sources, complemented by interviews with 11 experts, identifies six ...

Reciprocal relations shape cultural landscapes: Women's environmental stewardship in Ait Bouguemez (High Atlas, Morocco)

open access: yesPeople and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 8, Page 2847-2865, August 2026.
Abstract Mountain social–ecological systems encompass steep ecological gradients and diverse cultural practices, yet the relative roles of these factors in shaping mountain landscapes remain underexplored. In particular, the knowledge and practices of women in coproducing biocultural landscapes are often invisible in the academic literature. In the Ait
