A Framework for Understanding and Evaluating Localization: The Case of HelpAge International
Public Administration and Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Many transnational non‐governmental organizations (TNGOs) are reevaluating their organizational forms and norms as they pursue localization. Localization itself is a contested and multifaceted concept, however, complicating the design, implementation, and evaluation of localization efforts.

People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract While the physical and mental health benefits of greenspace exposure are well documented, ethnic minority communities in the United Kingdom continue to engage with these environments at disproportionately lower rates. This persistent disparity points to an oversight in existing literature, specifically regarding how these communities navigate ...

Optimal Homogeneous ℒp$$ {\boldsymbol{\mathcal{L}}}_{\boldsymbol{p}} $$‐Gain Controller
International Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Nonlinear ℋ∞$$ {\mathscr{H}}_{\infty } $$‐controllers are designed for arbitrarily weighted, continuous homogeneous systems with a focus on systems affine in the control input. Based on the homogeneous ℒp$$ {\mathcal{L}}_p $$‐norm, the input–output behavior is quantified in terms of the homogeneous ℒp$$ {\mathcal{L}}_p $$‐gain as a ...

Optimal Gain Selection for the Arbitrary‐Order Homogeneous Differentiator
International Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Differentiation of noisy signals is a relevant and challenging task. Widespread approaches are the linear high‐gain observer acting as a differentiator and Levant's robust exact differentiator with a discontinuous right‐hand side. We consider the family of arbitrary‐order homogeneous differentiators, which includes these special cases.

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Smart city initiatives aim for sustainability and inclusiveness, but recent evidence shows that they often lead to injustices. Although this contradiction has received growing academic attention, a comprehensive understanding of how justice is addressed within smart city practices remains limited.

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Climate change affects all individuals, regardless of wealth, social class, or religious background, though its impacts and adaptation strategies vary. While existing literature examines climate change adaptation based on farming categories, geographic regions, and cropping systems, limited research explores how social class shapes adaptation ...

Unlocking Financial Inclusion: The Dynamics of Bank Account Ownership in Urban Slums
Sustainable Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Financial inclusion is a key driver of sustainable development, contributing to poverty reduction (SDG 1), gender equality (SDG 5), and reduced inequalities (SDG 10). Despite extensive financial‐inclusion policies in India, residents of urban slums remain largely excluded from formal banking systems.
