Connectivity and Selective Rural Migration
ABSTRACT How does infrastructure shape rural development? Using household panel data from a nationally representative sample of Chinese villages, matched to high‐resolution highway maps, we find that road expansion between 2000 and 2015 operates mainly through reallocation, with less productive farmers scaling down or exiting and more productive ...

Abstract We address the scheduling conflicting jobs on parallel identical machines problem with makespan minimization, a classical and computationally challenging variant of parallel machine scheduling. We develop and evaluate three distinct solution methodologies: a novel constraint programming (CP) formulation, and two metaheuristics: a multi ...

Absent Europe: Civic Protest and the Erosion of EU Symbolism in Serbia
Abstract This article analyses the strategic management of European Union (EU) references in Serbia's 2024–2025 student mobilisation. Drawing on original fieldwork and 18 semi‐structured interviews, the article integrates framing theory with the Discourse‐Historical Approach to reconstruct how EU‐related meanings were produced and operationalised.

Measuring success in HS treatment from the physician's and the patient's perspective
Integrated clinician (HiSCR, IHS4, IHS4‐55, HS‐IGA) and patient (HiSQOL, DLQI) scores, combined with imaging‐based fibrosis and inflammation assessment, redefine treatment success in hidradenitis suppurativa by aligning treat‐to‐target strategies with both inflammatory control and irreversible structural damage.

Abstract We theorize how state ownership reweights organizational objectives when political and market conditions shift. Using a mixed‐method, history‐to‐theory design, we examine 160 state‐owned and 132 private Brazilian firms from 1973 to 1993. We argue that two mechanisms – appointment politicization and constituency‐protection salience – alter ...
