Refining the timing of Middle Pleistocene (MIS 12 to MIS 6) ice advances into northern central Europe: sedimentological analysis and single‐grain luminescence dating of glaciotectonic complexes and tunnel‐valley fills

Boreas, EarlyView.
We summarize the current state of knowledge on the age of the Middle Pleistocene ice advances into northern central Europe and provide 25 new single‐grain feldspar luminescence ages of Elsterian and Saalian glacigenic sediments to constrain the age of the ice advances and their tentative correlation with marine isotope stages/substages.

Contaminants in food chains of arctic ungulates: what have we learned from the Chernobyl accident?

Rangifer, 1998
The Chernobyl accidenr of 1986 caused radioactive contamination of widespread areas of reindeer pasture in Scandinavia. Reindeer {Rangifer tarandus) are especially exposed to radioactive fallout due to their wintet diet, of which lichens are an important

Making the Case for Studying Business Law: A Teaching Note Providing a First Week Blueprint for First‐Time Instructors

Journal of Legal Studies Education, Volume 43, Issue 1, Page 41-49, Winter 2026.
Abstract Most business students are not interested in becoming lawyers. Therefore, business law and legal environment instructors must convey why students should study business law. To assist instructors (especially first‐time ones), this teaching note presents interrelated pedagogical questions to introduce the first week of class.

Dwelling in a post‐fallout landscape: re‐shaping and sustaining life in a former evacuation zone in Fukushima Habiter après la catastrophe : redonner forme au monde et entretenir la vie dans une ancienne zone évacuée à Fukushima

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, Volume 32, Issue 2, Page 434-455, June 2026.
This article explores the activities of daily life in a village neighbouring the TEPCO nuclear power plant in Fukushima. It argues that one of the potentials of taking a dwelling perspective – a phenomenological approach to living within the ecological and social environments – emerges most compellingly within a polluted landscape.

Sirenomelia: A Review of European Prevalence Data and Epidemiological Analysis of 17 Cases Registered in Wales

Birth Defects Research, Volume 118, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Sirenomelia is a rare congenital condition most notably characterized by a single lower limb. Previous studies have suggested a prevalence of approximately 1 per 100,000 births. However, in Wales 17 cases were recorded between 1998 and 2016, suggesting a higher rate of sirenomelia in this country.

KILLJOY POETICS IN ANTJE RÁVIK STRUBEL'S BLAUE FRAU (2021)

German Life and Letters, Volume 79, Issue 2, Page 217-242, April 2026.
Abstract Drawing on Sara Ahmed's concept of killjoy activism, I explore how Antje Rávik Strubel's Blaue Frau employs a killjoy poetics that refuses to brush over violence, asymmetry, injury and force. Instead, the novel intervenes in affective textures of happiness and reconciliation, and forms activist and ecological networks of resistance. I build on

Radiocesium concentrations in the lichen-reindeer/caribou food chain: Before and after Chernobyl

Rangifer, 1986
This paper reviews historical concentrations of radiocesium (Cs-137) in the reindeer/caribou food chain in Alaska. These data, along with available kinetic models which describe the movement of radiocesium through the food chain, are used to predict ...
