open access: yesGender, Work &Organization, Volume 33, Issue 4, Page 1569-1579, July 2026.
ABSTRACT The South African apartheid regime racially organized society into race categories—one being “Coloured” to denote people of mixed‐race heritage.

This article documents the lives of “Coloured” women who struggled against

Predicate partition for predicate-centred focus and Meeussen's Proto-Bantu "advance verb construction"

open access: yes, 2022
Meeussen’s (1967: 121) extensive grammatical reconstructions for Proto-Bantu contain a so-called “advance verb construction” that is comprised of an infinitive followed by a finite form of the same verb (typologically commonly called “cognate” verb) and conveys a marked type of information structure (IS) in which a predi- cate component is highlighted ...

Unusual Colonic Iron Deposition Following Prophylactic Supplementation in an Infant: A Case Report

open access: yesClinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Iron plays a vital role in physiological functions, and its deposition is typically limited to reticuloendothelial tissues in the presence of excess levels. We report a rare case of colonic iron deposition in a 13‐month‐old child without iron overload or toxicity. Despite a normal serum iron profile and administration of only prophylactic iron

Heat Tolerance Limits in Indoor Environments: Prolonged Fixed‐Condition Exposure Versus Humidity‐Ramp Protocols

open access: yesSafety Science and Technology, Volume 1, Issue 2, June 2026.
Fast ramp humidity protocols systematically underestimate human heat tolerance by failing to match physiological equilibration timescales. Prolonged fixed‐condition exposures reveal substantially higher sustainable wet‐bulb limits, supporting their use as the gold standard and motivating slower, equilibration‐based ramp designs for accurate heat risk ...

It then builds on their insights with additional data and details of analysis and develops a new reconstruction of PB object marking, including its place in a larger system of topicality marking also ...

open access: yesArchaeometry, Volume 68, Issue S3, Page S40-S49, June 2026.
ABSTRACT While Western historical narratives often incorporate a biased vision of human evolution—driven by a progressive view tied to a progressively evolving state of culture—this paper proposes combining archaeological lithic data with epistemological reflections to critique the modern regime of historicity, where progress is assumed as rational ...

Reconstructable main clause functions of Proto-Bantu applicative * -ɪd

open access: yes, 2022
This chapter presents evidence in favour of reconstructing at least three main clause-level functions of the Proto-Bantu (PB) applicative *-ɪd: (i) the introduction of a semantic role which cannot be expressed otherwise with an underived verb root; (ii) the focalisation of a constituent with a Location-related semantic role (most commonly General ...
