Smuggling Sovereignty: Trade, Transgression, and State Authority

Economic Anthropology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Global supply chains are saturated with transgressions—corruption, smuggling, document forgery, and other practices that blur the line between legality and illegality. States do not merely endure these practices; they actively shape the conditions for them, producing the very illegal systems they then claim to police.

Task‐Oriented Hierarchical Environment Modeling via Spatial Belonging Relationships for Domestic Service Robots

SmartBot, EarlyView.
Domestic service robots in dynamic homes often rely on memory‐intensive, quickly outdated 3‐D maps. This work presents HEMDSR, a four‐layer, task‐oriented model that reasons about object‐room and object‐object spatial belonging relationships, encodes observation viewpoints, and builds local 3‐D maps just‐in‐time.

Protein Corona Engineering of Lipid Nanoparticles Enables Efficient Functional Gene Silencing in the Liver

Small, EarlyView.
By shaping the protein corona, lipid composition directs LNP tropism and enables the preferential delivery of a TIMP1‐targeting siRNA to liver macrophages. In a murine model of primary biliary cholangitis, this strategy promoted macrophage reprogramming and attenuated liver fibrosis.

Bidirectional Plant‐Microneedle Responses to Guide Biomaterial Design

Small, EarlyView.
We examine bidirectional interactions between plants and polymeric microneedles to develop effective compound delivery strategies. Material chemistry and architecture determine stability in the plant environment, cargo–matrix interactions, and the magnitude and duration of the plant response. Plant microneedles should therefore be designed as a coupled

Toward an Intermediate Structural Representation of Organization in Complex Systems

Systems Research and Behavioral Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Organization is widely recognized as a fundamental concept in complex systems science, yet it rarely appears as an explicit object of scientific representation. Existing approaches successfully represent components, interactions, mechanisms, dynamical states, networks, or functions, but organizational properties are generally inferred from ...

When Reform Failure Stabilises Governance Systems: Recursive Regulation and Political Attractor Shifts in Complex Adaptive Governance

Systems Research and Behavioral Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article advances a systems‐theoretical framework for understanding reform dissipation in politically governed complex adaptive systems. Rather than treating failure as deviation from intended design, the framework conceptualises reform dissipation as recursive regulation within threshold‐sensitive attractor landscapes—a reframing with ...
