From Empire to Aid: Analysing Persistence of Colonial Legacies in Foreign Aid to Africa
ABSTRACT For decades now, Western development agencies and donors have been castigated for their colonial biases in providing aid to Africa. It is well established that donors provide considerably more foreign aid to their former colonies relative to other countries.

This review synthesizes EEG findings from 28 VIMS studies across four inducing scenarios (abstract cues, virtual videos, vehicle driving, and game scenes) and two display types (HMD and monitor). While Delta/Theta enhancement consistently reflects sensory conflict, Alpha activity shows context dependency: predominantly increasing during passive viewing

ABSTRACT Subgroups are dynamic entities evolving constantly in response to changing contexts and time. Although scholars from both the attribute and the network views have acknowledged that subgroups are inherently complex and fluid, research in these traditions has remained bifurcated, with limited efforts to integrate the two perspectives to more ...

How Do Investors React to Supplier Exploitation? Event Study and Experimental Evidence
ABSTRACT Supplier exploitation, including financial squeezing, payment delays, and non‐contractual demands, is a pervasive form of corporate misconduct. This multi‐method study examines how investors interpret supplier exploitation amid competing ethical and financial considerations.

We present an automated system that combines an image‐based fuzzy logic controller for precise positioning of microfluidic picoliter droplets with nonlinear microscopy, using CARS and TPEF modalities for detailed analysis of droplet composition. Time series and z‐stack images of E. coli, B. subtilis, and M. arborescens were recorded.
