Contesting Regulatory Capacity: Exploring Doctrines in the Regulatory State

Public Administration and Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The contemporary literature on regulation and development has emphasised the importance of low discretion devices for achieving desired policy objectives. At the same time, there has been a growing recognition that state capacity in general, and regulatory capacity more specifically, are essential for achieving development goals in a world of ...

Electroactuated liquid crystal polymers

Responsive Materials, EarlyView.
Electroactuated liquid crystal polymers exhibit corresponding deformations under electrical stimulation, and electroactive deformations can be controlled by adjusting electrical parameters. This review introduces classification, mechanisms, characteristics, and applications, and looks forward to their potential development directions.

A systems‐theoretical exploration for understanding and enhancing policy design: Expanding an analytical locus with implications for policy studies

Systems Research and Behavioral Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Policy design has two analytical domains, policy design‐as‐formulation and policy design‐as‐content. The latter study policies as codified and constructed output of the formulation process, which is an activity directed to the process. The analytical concept ‘structural logic’ emerged as an internal property of policy text and has been ...

Epistemological Implications of a System—Theoretical Understanding for Sustainability Models

Systems Research and Behavioral Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In the sense of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), global efforts to create a sustainable society will not be sufficiently successful under the current geopolitical and socio‐economic trends. For this reason, recent sustainability research has increasingly focused on systemic coherence, the subject of cognition, and psychological and ...

Programmable Functional Connectivity and Synchronous Activity in Resistive Switching Self‐Assembled Nanostructured Networks

Small Structures, EarlyView.
The adaptive and controllable functional connectivity of self‐assembled nanostructured materials has been investigated by a combined approach based on microthermography and electrical measurements. Interacting active regions and synchronous resistive switching activity characterize the network dynamics at different scales.

Managing Variations in Meaning: Guidance for Using “Complexity” and Related Terms

Systems Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The term “Complexity” is widely used across disciplines, where it often represents distinct but related concepts such as complicatedness, emergence, difficulty, uncertainty, and chaos. This variability in usage can create miscommunication and misunderstanding, even within structured organizations like the International Council on Systems ...

Reactor Design for Chemical Reaction‐Diffusion Systems

ChemSystemsChem, EarlyView.
This review discusses methods for the design of reactors for studying reaction‐diffusion (RD) phenomena. Abstract The experimental study of reaction–diffusion‐driven chemical and biological systems is a key to understanding pattern formation in nature. Starting from experiments performed in a Petri dish or test tube, various reactors have been designed

Spasmodic Dysphonia

World Journal of Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Spasmodic dysphonia is a laryngeal dystonia that can present as adductor, abductor, or mixed types, with or without tremor. The etiology is not understood fully. Comprehensive evaluation is required to establish the diagnosis. Treatments include voice therapy, medications, botulinum toxin injection, laryngeal surgery, deep brain stimulation ...

Frequency dependence favours social plasticity and facilitates socio‐eco‐evolutionary feedback in fluctuating environments

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Increasing attention is being devoted to the study of phenotypic plasticity in social environments. However, much remains unknown about the selection pressures driving the evolution of social plasticity, as well as the pathways by which social plasticity may facilitate ...

Enhanced image‐splicing classification: A resilient and scale‐invariant approach utilizing edge‐weighted local texture features

Journal of Forensic Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract The spread of image editing tools demonstrates how modern mixed‐media technology enables changes in digital images. Such easy access raises severe moral and legal concerns around the potential for malicious image editing. Overcoming this difficulty will need the development of innovative approaches for the quick detection of changes in high ...
