Breaking Barriers: Scaffolding Social‐Symbolic Work for Women’s Economic Empowerment

Journal of Management Studies, EarlyView.
Abstract This study advances the understanding of Women’s Economic Empowerment (WEE) in non‐Western contexts by theorizing how social‐symbolic work facilitates empowerment despite entrenched institutional and cultural constraints. Drawing on a qualitative study into the establishment of Kuwait’s first women’s business incubator, we explore how female ...

Tacit Collusion in Markets Under Regulatory Threat: The Effect of Multimarket Contact on Pricing Strategies

Journal of Management Studies, EarlyView.
Abstract Firms under regulatory threat often have a collective interest in influencing policy outcomes through market behaviour. However, when coordination is prohibited and collective benefits are non‐excludable, such efforts are constrained by coordination and outcome uncertainty.

Effect of substructure fabrication method and design on the fracture resistance properties of metal–ceramic restorations

Journal of Prosthodontics, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose In metal–ceramic restorations, the substructure fabrication method and design may affect the prognosis of the prosthesis. This study evaluated and compared the fracture resistance of metal–ceramic restorations fabricated with different substructure fabrication methods using two different alloy powders and designs.

A digital workflow for full‐arch implant fixed prosthesis: Clinical application of a 3D‐printed polychromatic flangeless trial denture, anatomic bone reduction guide, and intraoral scanning for definitive prosthesis fabrication

Journal of Prosthodontics, EarlyView.
Abstract This clinical report presents a comprehensive digital workflow for rehabilitating a patient with maxillary terminal dentition using a full‐arch, implant‐supported fixed dental prosthesis (FP‐1). It highlights the integration of a 3D‐printed polychromatic flangeless trial denture and a customized anatomic bone reduction template, enabling ...

Effects of gastric acid on surface roughness, microhardness, fracture strength, and color change of dental ceramics: A systematic review of in vitro studies

Journal of Prosthodontics, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose This systematic review evaluated the effects of simulated gastric acid (SGA) on surface and mechanical properties of dental ceramics to answer the research question: Does immersion in SGA alter the surface roughness, microhardness, fracture strength, and color of dental ceramics?
