PRECARIZED AGEING‐IN‐PERIFERIA: Low‐Income Older Adults in a Transforming Neighbourhood

International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
Abstract In this article we investigate how intersecting forms of precarity shape the everyday practices of ageing‐in‐place developed by low‐income older adults in Via Milano, a historically segregated yet rapidly transforming neighbourhood in Brescia, northern Italy. We draw on qualitative and ethnographic research to examine how diverse urban changes—

Comparative evaluation of adhesive tapes and stamps for touch DNA collection from textile substrates

Journal of Forensic Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract A substantial proportion of forensic evidence consists of skin or contact traces, commonly referred to as touch DNA. The collection of such biological material remains challenging due to its invisibility and low abundance. Further, depending on substrate type and surface properties, different recovery methods are employed, with adhesive tapes ...

Russian wheat aphid: a model for genomic plasticity and a challenge to breeders

Insect Science, EarlyView.

This conceptual paper introduces reciprocal integration as a workplace‐anchored social exchange process: the emergent ...
