Geo2DGS‐SLAM: Geometry‐Driven SLAM With 2D Gaussian Splatting
ABSTRACT Recent advances in SLAM systems based on 3D Gaussian Splatting have enabled dense and photorealistic scene reconstruction. However, 3DGS‐based methods still suffer from limited geometric awareness due to the lack of normal rendering support, view inconsistency and weak depth constraints, ultimately hindering high‐fidelity geometric ...

A benefit evaluation framework for high‐proportion building photovoltaic systems was established considering carbon reduction constraints and grid absorption costs. The study reveals the intrinsic contradiction between system‐level benefits and PV utilisation benefits, and proposes a dual‐driven optimisation pathway of effective generation and ...

VOID URBANISM: Unbuilt New Cities and State Formation in the Democratic Republic of Congo
Abstract Based on an analysis of the planning process behind Kitoko City in the Democratic Republic of Congo—a new city project officially launched in 2019 but never implemented—this article examines the political, social, and spatial effects generated by urban initiatives that remain at the stage of intention. It investigates how such unbuilt projects

Opportunities and Alliances: The Relational Dynamics of Criminal Collusion in Latin America
ABSTRACT Based on ethnographic fieldwork in Mexico and judicial wiretap analysis in Argentina, this paper shows that collusion between state actors and violent non‐state actors operates through fluid and competitive relational networks rather than stable hierarchies or fixed institutional arrangements.

The Mysterious Stranger and Modern Enchantment
ABSTRACT Sociological accounts of modernity have long emphasized rationalization, alienation, and the attenuation of affective intensity. While these diagnoses capture crucial dynamics of modern social order, they leave underexplored a persistent and generative dimension of social life: enchantment.
