Troubling the Waters: Black African Christian Presence and the Reshaping of Christianity in Canada

Religion Compass, Volume 20, Issue 1, January/February 2026.
ABSTRACT This article explores the histories of Christians of African descent in Canada, challenging Eurocentric narratives that have rendered their religious contributions invisible. Using polycentric framework, it examines how historic Black Christian communities—from Black Loyalists and Refugees in Nova Scotia to congregations across Ontario and ...

From Multicultural Experiment to Performing “China's Story”: Complying With Shifting Norms at a Chinese–Hungarian Bilingual School

Regulation &Governance, Volume 20, Issue 1, Page 226-243, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Adopting a broad understanding of compliance as adherence to norms, this study examines the role of the Chinese–Hungarian Bilingual School in Budapest in the propagation of institutional, educational, and civic norms, through an anthropological inquiry into the discourses and practices embraced and enacted by teachers, parents, and students ...

Strength–Ductility Synergy in Biodegradable Mg-Rare Earth Alloy Processed via Multi-Directional Forging

Journal of Functional Biomaterials
In this study, a biodegradable Mg-Zn-Nd-Gd alloy was processed via multi-directional forging (MDF) to evaluate its microstructural evolution, mechanical performance, and corrosion behavior. Electron backscattered diffraction (EBSD) analysis was conducted

Effect of Pass Strain on Grain Refinement in 7475 Al Alloy during Hot Multidirectional Forging

MATERIALS TRANSACTIONS, 2004
Effect of pass strain (Δɛ) on grain refinement was studied in multidirectional forging (MDF) of a coarse-grained 7475 Al alloy at 490°C under a strain rate of 3 ×10⁻⁴s⁻¹. Results finally in formation of a finer grained structure with an average size of around 7.5 μm at strains of above 3.5, while, the processing with Δɛ = 0.4 develops a slightly ...

Bridging Neurodiversity and Open Scholarship: How Shared Values Can Guide Best Practices for Research Integrity, Social Justice, and Principled Education

Journal of Social Issues, Volume 81, Issue 4, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Not all people conform to socially constructed norms, nor should they have to. Neurodiversity, the natural variation in human brains and cognition, is fundamental to understanding human behavior, yet neurodivergent individuals in academia are often stigmatized, undervalued, or pressured to mask their differences.

Numerical Investigation on the Strain Evolution of Ti-6Al-4V Alloy during Multi-directional Forging at Elevated Temperatures

High Temperature Materials and Processes, 2018
Multi-directional forging (MDF) is one of the most promising severe plastic deformation (SPD) methods used in fabricating large-scale bulk metal materials with ultra-fine grains (UFG). A finite element model for MDF is developed to investigate the strain

Changes of Microstructures and Mechanical Properties in Commercially Pure Titanium after Different Cycles of Proposed Multi-Directional Forging

Metals, 2019
A newly proposed multi-directional forging (MDF) was successfully applied to a commercially pure titanium (CP Ti). Severe plastic deformation would result in significant and complex changes of microstructure and mechanical properties, so microstructure ...
