Rethinking ‘Hill‐Valley Divide’ in Darjeeling District, India: An Autoethnographic Approach to Highland Identities

Studies in Ethnicity and Nationalism, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This research examines the Hill‐Valley divide in Darjeeling district, West Bengal, India, where Nepali‐speaking hill communities coexist with Bengali‐speaking valley populations. It argues that this division is a colonial construct, shaped by British policies that romanticised the hills as a ‘mini‐England’ while separating them from the valley

Artificial Intelligence in Public Procurement: Aligning Operational Capacity, Legitimacy, and Public Value

Journal of Business Logistics, Volume 47, Issue 4, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Public procurement is adopting artificial intelligence (AI) more slowly than private‐sector procurement, despite similar operational opportunities. We analyze this gap through Moore's Strategic Triangle (ST), focusing on public value, operational capacity, and legitimacy and support.

Detection Capability Analysis and Improvement for Transverse Defects in Heavy-Haul Railway

Kongzhi Yu Xinxi Jishu
During high-speed rail flaw detection by ultrasonic testing (UT), for 75 kg/m rails, an insufficient number of echo signal points in the 70° skewed channel can lead to missed detection of minor transverse defects.
