Compliance in Regulatory Gray Areas: The Case of the Organic Seed Standard

Policy Studies Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Adaptive regulations, designed to balance flexibility with accountability, can embed provisions that unintentionally leave room for firms to shirk on their responsibilities by exploiting flexibility. We call these provisions “regulatory gray areas,” and ask: how should we understand (non‐)compliance in adaptive regulatory settings?

Artifex Ars Cartographica: Collaboration Between Portuguese Painters and Cartographers in the Fifteenth and Sixteenth Centuries

Renaissance Studies, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT During the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, there was no statutory difference between cartography, drawing and painting.

Artifex were experts in any particular art, whether a craftsman,

Never … Often? Comparisons That Shape People's Likert‐Type Ratings of Behavior Frequencies

Journal of Behavioral Decision Making, Volume 39, Issue 3, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Responses to Likert‐type behavioral frequency (LBF) questions often do not consistently map onto objective numerical estimates. Prior research suggests that social and other comparisons may underlie this divergence, but the relative influence of different comparison standards—and the cognitive processes supporting them—remains unclear.

Empowerment or Pressure? Exploring the Impact of Female Body Depictions in Body Positivity Instagram Posts on Self‐Objectification

International Journal of Psychology, Volume 61, Issue 3, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Although Body Positivity content (BoPo) has been criticised for emphasising physical appearance and promoting self‐objectification, the specific features driving these effects remain unclear. The present study examined whether depictions of female bodies act as triggers for self‐objectification in BoPo on Instagram.

Effect of Sowing Time on the Growth of Mungbean (Vigna radiata L.) Genotypes Within Temperate Environments of Southern Australia

Legume Science, Volume 8, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Mungbean is predominantly cultivated within a subtropical climate, and its potential for cultivation in temperate regions as a summer crop has not been comprehensively assessed. This research investigates the influence of temperature and seasonal variation with sowing time on mungbean phenology, growth and yield at five locations within the ...
