Flammability of Facades Across Scales and International Standards

open access: yesFire and Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Facade fires are a rare but destructive hazard that can lead to the rapid spread of fire between the floors and fire compartments of a building. Today, there are at least 21 different national standards for facade fire tests in use around the world, which seek to categorize facades based on their flammability.

Understanding Adolescents’ Perceptions of Anti‐Youth Ageism

open access: yesJournal of Adolescence, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Past research suggests that adolescents may be subject to anti‐youth ageism from adults. However, little research has investigated adolescents’ subjective awareness and experiences of anti‐youth ageism by adults toward their specific age group. Thus, the purpose of this study was to conduct a secondary qualitative analysis of open‐

Caring with forests: Human and more‐than‐human care in forest occupations in Germany

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Drawing on ongoing ethnographic and participatory action research within forest occupations in Germany, this paper develops the concept of ‘caring with forests’ to theorise the mutual, multidimensional relationships of care that emerge between humans and more‐than‐human beings in environmental protest settings.

When Time Stands Still: The Destructive Experience of Ambiguous Loss among Mothers of Combat Soldiers

open access: yesSymbolic Interaction, EarlyView.
What happens when stories refuse coherence? This article examines ambiguous loss among mothers of combat soldiers, focusing on how prolonged waiting and uncertainty infiltrate everyday life, eroding sensemaking. Drawing on ethnographic interviews, it explores how mothers experience the contraction of time and space—manifested in suspended routines ...

Investigating SME‐Inclusive Public‐Private AI Innovation Network: Evidence From U.S. Small Business Administration (1991–2023)

open access: yesThunderbird International Business Review, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Understanding innovation policy is pivotal to enhancing national competitiveness for global value chain. This research investigates an SME‐Inclusive public‐private AI innovation network over time in the U.S. context (1991–2023), revealing how a government's demand‐based innovation policy bolsters technological prowess through isomorphism and ...
