ABSTRACT This paper examines the concept of resilience as understood and operationalised by various humanitarian and climate resilience actors in Malawi. Findings revealed a fragmented understanding of resilience among stakeholders and highlight the need for participatory approaches, localised resilience assessments and context‐specific interventions ...

IR, area studies and IPE: rethinking the study of China's international relations [PDF]
This paper attempts to provide a new framework of analysis for understanding China’s international relations. It argues that “traditional” conceptions of international relations, based on “statist” and “realist” methodology, do not capture the dynamics ...

New materialisms, discourse analysis, and international relations : a radical intertextual approach [PDF]
This article investigates the recent ‘New Materialisms’ turn in social and political thought and asks what the potential theoretical and methodological significance might be for the study of International Relations (IR).

In this study, 3D‐TVS measurements of the uterine junction zone (JZ) in 120 patients showed that a JZmax threshold of ≥ 0.45 cm yielded 77% sensitivity and 89% specificity for adenomyosis diagnosis. Notably, JZ thickness varies minimally with age, demonstrating its stability and excellent diagnostic performance.

THE AESTHETICS OF URBAN METABOLISM: Landscape, Design and the Politics of In/Visibility
Abstract In this article, we chart the evolving aesthetic contours of urban metabolism across London, focusing on the River Lea and Thamesmead to the north and south of the River Thames, respectively. We begin in the nineteenth century, when these two sites formed critical nodes within a new sewerage system that relegated the city's circulatory flows ...

Broadband Conductance Matching Effect in Conductive Metamirrors
A conductance matching effect is revealed in conductive metamirrors whose input conductance can be broadband self‐matched to the free space when the conductivity‐thickness product equals 8 mS. This effect enables thickness‐invariant perfect absorption at low frequencies, and tunable resonances at higher‐order modes, providing new opportunities for ...

The transformer gene controls sexual development in Drosophila suzukii
The transformer gene plays a key role in the genetic pathway for sexual development in Drosophila suzukii Abstract The genetic network of sex determination in the model organism Drosophila melanogaster was investigated in great detail. Such knowledge not only advances our understanding of the evolution and regulation of sexual dimorphism in insects ...
