Democracy, Representation and Local Governance in Crisis: Reflections on the 2026 Tower Hamlets Elections

open access: yesThe Political Quarterly, EarlyView.
Abstract This article offers a practitioner‐scholar reflection on the 2026 Tower Hamlets local elections, in which the Aspire party secured thirty‐three of forty‐five council seats, the Labour Party was reduced to five and the Green Party emerged as an equal opposition force.

Current status of weak gravitational lensing

open access: yesNew Astronomy Reviews, 2002
Weak gravitational lensing of distant galaxies by foreground structures has proven to be a powerful tool to study the mass distribution in the universe. Nowadays, attention has shifted from clusters of galaxies to the statistical properties of the large scale structures and the halos of (field) galaxies. These applications have become feasible with the

EVICT, NEGLECT, OR INVEST? Community Power and the Politics of Urban Informality Governance in Jakarta

open access: yesInternational Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Why do some informal neighborhoods receive public investment while others are neglected or evicted? This article addresses the inconsistent governmental responses to informal settlements in Jakarta, Indonesia, during the democratic period. State actions range from violent evictions to tolerance and community‐led improvements.

Instrumental systematics and weak gravitational lensing [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Instrumentation, 2015
We present a pedagogical review of the weak gravitational lensing measurement process and its connection to major scientific questions such as dark matter and dark energy. Then we describe common ways of parametrizing systematic errors and understanding how they affect weak lensing measurements.

Weak gravitational lensing with CO galaxies [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Optical weak lensing surveys have become a powerful tool for precision cosmology, but remain subject to systematic effects that can severely bias cosmological parameter estimates if not carefully removed. We discuss the possibility of performing complementary weak lensing surveys at radio/microwave frequencies, using detections of CO-emitting galaxies ...

Lodge moraines: a common yet underreported end‐moraine type—a review

open access: yesBoreas, EarlyView.
Lodge moraines are a distinct genetic type of end moraine formed by submarginal accretion of subglacial till; they are some of the largest end moraines in the world. Although underreported in the literature, they are of equal importance to push, dump and hummocky end moraines. End moraines are formed at glacier ice margins and show the extent of former

The Ecology of Exclusion: How Anglo‐Male Cultural Logics Reproduce Unequal Leadership Progression for Ethnically Diverse Women

open access: yesGender, Work &Organization, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Ethnically diverse women remain underrepresented in senior and executive leadership despite many having already demonstrated leadership capability in managerial roles. This study examines how leadership legitimacy is reproduced in ways that constrain their progression from management into senior and executive leadership in corporate Australia.

Weak gravitational lensing with SKA

open access: yes, 1999
I shall outline the basic principles and some observational aspects of weak gravitational lensing, and discuss several applications of this powerful tool in observational cosmology. It will be explained why the applications have been restricted to optical observations up to now, and why SKA is going to change this. I conclude with a few general remarks

When Great Powers Struggle: How Geopolitical Alignments of Small States Are Influenced by Their MNEs

open access: yesJournal of Management Studies, EarlyView.
Abstract Comparing two distinct deglobalization periods, this study shows how Finnish multinational enterprises (MNEs) used corporate diplomatic activities (CDA) to influence Finland's alignment with a struggling great power. Drawing from hegemonic stability theory and new institutional economics, we argue that the power's collapsing global networks ...
