The New Economics of Cape Slavery

open access: yesSouth African Journal of Economics, Volume 94, Issue 4, December 2026.
ABSTRACT In this survey, I argue that the Cape Colony has become one of the most useful settings for studying the economics of unfree labour. The Cape offers a distinctive combination: a slavery regime linking the Indian Ocean and Atlantic worlds, an urban and agrarian economy, overlapping labour regimes and archives rich enough for linked micro‐data ...

The Motive of Duty and Kantian Moral Worth

open access: yesPhilosophical Investigations, Volume 49, Issue 4, Page 349-361, October 2026.
ABSTRACT In this article, it is argued that action from duty has special moral worth on Kant's account because (i) it is an instance of good willing, and (ii) the good will is the only unconditional good. This is used to argue, contrary to various commentators, that Kant's doctrine of moral worth is central, not only to Kantian ethics, but to any ...

Fundamental Challenges, Physical Implementations, and Integration Strategies for Ising Machines in Large‐Scale Optimization Tasks

open access: yesAdvanced Electronic Materials, Volume 12, Issue 17, 7 September 2026.
Ising machines are emerging as specialized hardware solvers for computationally hard optimization problems. This review examines five major platforms—digital CMOS, analog CMOS, emerging devices, coherent optics, and quantum systems—highlighting physics‐rooted advantages and shared bottlenecks in scalability and connectivity.

Ultra-fast escape of a deformable jet-propelled body

open access: yes, 2013
In this work a cephalopod-like deformable body that fills an internal cavity with fluid and expels it to propel an escape manoeuvre, while undergoing a drastic external shape change through shrinking, is shown to employ viscous as well as mainly inviscid

Reframing Colonial Korea's Forests Through Protection Forests: The Forests of Joseon (1938)

open access: yesBerichte zur Wissenschaftsgeschichte, Volume 49, Issue 3, Page 377-394, September 2026.
This study examines The Forests of Joseon (1938), a forestry survey compiled by Tokumitsu Nobuyuki under Japanese colonial rule, as a key site of epistemic negotiation between imperial forestry science and Korean indigenous knowledge. Focusing on bíbo forests—geomantic forests believed to regulate energy flow between mountains and villages—the paper ...

Would Collective Action Clauses Raise Borrowing Costs? [PDF]

open access: yes
We examine the implications for borrowing costs of including collective-action clauses in loan contracts. For a sample of some 2,000 international bonds, we compare the spreads on bonds subject to UK governing law, which typically include collective ...

Calibrated Autonomy: China's 2026 Business Mediation Ordinance and the Reconfiguration of Dispute Resolution

open access: yesConflict Resolution Quarterly, Volume 44, Issue 1, Page 129-138, Fall 2026.
ABSTRACT This article argues that China's 2026 Business Mediation Ordinance represents neither progress toward rule of law nor retreat from it. I propose instead that we are witnessing something I call “calibrated autonomy”—the strategic construction of spaces for private ordering that remain tethered to Party‐State oversight through multiple ...

The End of the Observable Infodemic: Privatised Observability and Public Health Monitoring

open access: yesPolicy &Internet, Volume 18, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Infodemiology and infodemic management rest on a premise so foundational that it is rarely stated: health information behaviour leaves traces that researchers and public institutions can observe. This paper argues that the premise is dissolving.
