When workers get to choose: Employment and wage responses to demand shocks in labour‐managed and conventional firms

Annals of Public and Cooperative Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract In conventional firms (CFs), workers are unlikely to accept pay and hour reductions in order to secure their jobs, in particular because of information asymmetry. A specific type of firm is not subject to this information asymmetry problem because workers make decisions and share profits: worker cooperatives.

Some Exploitation Properties of Wood Plastic Hybrid Composites Based on Polypropylene and Plywood Production Waste

Open Engineering, 2015
During the last 20–30 years many researchers have paid attention to the studies of properties of thewood polymer composites (WPC). A lot of works are closely related to investigations of exploitation properties of wood fibres or wood flour containing ...

Wave Tracing: Generalizing The Path Integral To Wave Optics

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract Modeling the wave nature of light and the propagation and diffraction of electromagnetic fields is crucial for the accurate simulation of many phenomena, yet wave simulations are significantly more computationally complex than classical ray‐based models.

On the in-plane mechanical properties of birch plywood

, 2022
Birch plywood has favorable mechanical properties that could be used in new types of connections for timber structures, and thus enable a substitution of the current system with steel plates. Such new connections could result in significant advantages in terms of environmental impact and economy as well as ease of prefabrication and mountability ...

BumbleBEEP: A Sensor System for Bumblebee Colony Monitoring

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
We present a bumblebee colony monitoring system, BumbleBEEP. The system is fitted with thermometers and a custom weight sensor. These record data up to every 15 min, recording bumblebee brood nest temperature, environmental ambient temperature, and colony growth.

Synergistic effects of blue nitrile, graphite, and marble dust on the performance of wood fiber-reinforced polyester composites for high-performance snowboards

e-Polymers
The effect of the mechanical and moisture absorption properties of two types of plywood-based composites, glass/plywood/polyester (WGP) composites and carbon/plywood/polyester (WCP) composites, was investigated.

‘Grabbing Our Land Deprives Us of Our Future’: Struggles Against State‐Led Land Dispossession, Demands for Justice and Citizenship in Dakar's Urban Outskirts

Journal of Agrarian Change, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT How do people at the outskirts of Dakar struggle against urban land grabs and state‐led dispossession for urban development? How do they express the injustices they face and their demands for justice? What are they claiming, and what success have they had?

Dynamic Capabilities as Drivers of Circular Business Models: Exploring Direct and Indirect Relationships

Journal of Product Innovation Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Academic Summary Despite the urgent need for a circular economy, firms' transition from linear to circular business models (CBMs) remains slow. While previous research suggests that dynamic capabilities are the key drivers of this transition, it assumes a direct link, overlooking that these capabilities can facilitate change but do not ...

Integrated Phytochemical Characterisation, Pharmacological Evaluation and Computational Investigation of Acampe papillosa Stem Extract

Analytical Science Advances, Volume 7, Issue 2, December 2026.
The pharmacological potential of the methanolic stem extract of Acampe papillosa is evaluated using in vivo and in silico approaches. The extract demonstrates significant anxiolytic, sedative, anti‐inflammatory, and antipyretic activities in experimental models, while molecular docking supports the observed biological effects through favorable ...
