Molecular Active Matter, Kinetic Asymmetry, and Non‐Reciprocal Interactions

open access: yesSmall, EarlyView.
Nanoscale enzymes constitute dissipative active matter that converts scalar energy input into vectorial outputs. Through kinetic and diffusion asymmetry, they break time and space symmetry, resulting in directional motion. This mechanism accounts for both positive and negative chemotaxis, as well as non‐reciprocal interactions between enzymes that ...

The Feasibility of Household Food Waste Reduction in Finland: Insights From Five Consumer Profiles

open access: yesAustralian Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We apply a household production framework to analyse how changes in cooking skills, waste‐abatement costs and wage rates influence the food waste behaviour of five consumer profiles in Finland. We find that achieving a given reduction in food waste through skill‐enhancing interventions induces larger behavioural adjustments than equivalent ...

Promoting Precarity or Creating Cushions? Examining Canadians' Experiences With Financialization and Insecurity Across the Life Course

open access: yesThe British Journal of Sociology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines experiences and perceptions of economic insecurity across individual social trajectories within the context of pervasive financialization in Canada. Drawing on a comprehensive pan‐Canadian survey (n = 7483) and set of interviews (n = 127) collected as part of the Great Canadian Class Study (GCCS), we use a mixed‐methods ...
