‘Escaping Isn't for Everyone’: Kurdish Smugglers’ Navigational Tactics at Checkpoints in Iran

Development and Change, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article examines how Kurdish smugglers navigate state and insurgent checkpoints in the borderlands of western Iran. Drawing on ethnographic research, it analyses two key navigational tactics: persin, a form of negotiated passage involving transaction, recognition and the contingent toleration of authority; and jimi, rendered here as ...

Trust and fairness in platform–supplier contracts: Navigating supplier concerns in the sharing economy

Decision Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Trust and fairness are critical to the sustainable development of the sharing economy, particularly in platform–supplier relationships, where numerous individual suppliers offer access to their durable assets without transferring ownership. Motivated by the real‐world phenomenon of personalized wages and informed through direct interactions ...

Climate Regulation and ESG Disclosure in Maritime Transport

European Financial Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper investigates whether climate policy signals influence ESG disclosure quality in maritime transport, a capital‐intensive industry responsible for roughly 3% of global CO₂ emissions. Using panel data from 126 listed shipping firms between 2009 and 2023, we construct an author‐based disclosure quality index and treat the IMO's 2018 ...

Targeting the microbiota‐miRNA‐protease axis: A new therapeutic avenue in melanoma

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Modulation of extracellular matrix (ECM) turnover is central to melanoma progression and metastasis, driven largely by ECM proteases. This review highlights the epigenetic regulation of ECM proteases by microRNAs and their roles in melanoma growth, invasion, and immune modulation.

Exercise‐related microRNAs in Caenorhabditis elegans regulate calcium homeostasis and mitochondrial dynamics: Conserved pathways, divergent microRNAs

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Exercise‐related microRNAs cel‐miR‐249‐3p and cel‐miR‐77‐5p in C. elegans regulate lifespan, fitness, mitochondrial morphology and membrane potential. Although lacking direct mammalian orthologs, H2O2‐induced microRNAs mmu‐miR‐181a‐5p and mmu‐miR‐378a‐3p regulate myogenesis, autophagy, mitochondrial content and respiration in murine myoblasts ...
