Hidden Costs of Ethical Fashion: Sustainable Development Goals and Garment Worker Exploitation in Bangladesh

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Across garment factories in the Global South, the promise of “ethical fashion” coexists with poverty wages and retaliation. This study examines why the global call for decent work has not improved labor conditions in Bangladesh's ready‐made garment industry.

RNA‐DNA Fusomer Fibers With Customizable Physicochemical, Mechanical, and Biological Properties for Next‐Generation Therapeutics

Small, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We introduce RNA‐DNA fusomers, a new class of chemically synthesized oligonucleotides that combine the versatile properties of RNA and DNA within a single sequence and self‐assemble into higher‐order functional structures via a simple one‐pot annealing reaction.

High‐Efficiency Generation of Vectorial Terahertz Beams via Surface‐Wave‐Excited Dielectric Metasurfaces

Small, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Generating pre‐designed vectorial beams via on‐chip devices can yield many fascinating applications, but traditional diffraction‐based devices are bulky and inefficient. While plasmonic metasurfaces exhibit ultra‐compact sizes and deep‐subwavelength resolutions, their working efficiencies are limited by metallic losses.

Analogies and differences between the logic behind statistical hypothesis testing and proofs by contradiction: What can we learn from them?

Teaching Statistics, EarlyView.
Abstract Statistical hypothesis testing (SHT) is widely employed across numerous scientific disciplines, and a clear understanding of its underlying logic is essential for the broader scientific community. Here, drawing upon both epistemological and statistical perspectives, we aim to clarify—primarily for educational purposes—the logical relationship ...

Thermal Degradation and Thermal Decomposition of Plasticized PVC Including POSS Additives for PVC Compounds: Mechanisms, Impact, and Performance of Standards

Journal of Vinyl and Additive Technology, EarlyView.
Additives' structures. ABSTRACT Poly(vinyl chloride) has been a key polymeric material since its commercial production in 1931, demonstrating versatility across numerous industries due to its compatibility with various additives. PVC's inherent properties, flame retardance, durability, and recyclability make it ideal for building and construction ...

Games and gamification projects in the Australian public sector

Australian Journal of Public Administration, EarlyView.
Abstract This article surveys the arrival of gameful government into Australian public sector practice. Gameful government is a shorthand, descriptive term denoting the interpenetration of (video)games, and design elements and thinking from them, into public sector work.

James Platt Junior's Contributions to Old English Grammar1

Transactions of the Philological Society, EarlyView.
Abstract In 1883, Henry Sweet took issue with James Platt junior, a 21‐year‐old language enthusiast. At the time, Platt was England's brightest young prospect in Old English linguistic studies. Sweet recognised Platt's talent, but he became convinced that he was also a plagiarist and tried to have him expelled from the Philological Society.

Different Frontier, Same Legal Script? On the Course of Replicating Earth's Patterns in Space

The Modern Law Review, EarlyView.
As states and private actors expand their activities in outer space, the international legal framework governing this domain risks extending longstanding structures of global inequality beyond Earth. This article examines how international space law, shaped by a broader disciplinary pattern of reactive legal development, is poised to reproduce ...
