Intergroup Contact With Refugees Shapes Levels of Social Fear of Crime

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Social Psychology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Intergroup contact affects how people see the world more broadly. Across four studies (Ntotal = 1,743), we tested whether valenced intergroup contact with refugees as a criminally stigmatized group affects social fear of crime mediated by prejudice.

Non‐State Regulators? Civil Society as Extension of the State in a Context of a Regularization Scheme for Undocumented Migrants

open access: yesEuropean Policy Analysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT “Opération Papyrus” was implemented in the Swiss Canton of Geneva between 2017 and 2018 with the aim of granting residence permits to undocumented migrants who met pre‐established criteria. This program serves as an exemplary case of involving nongovernmental actors to facilitate what were originally state‐controlled procedures.

Do Institutions Make Street‐Level Bureaucrats Prosocial? Agent‐Based Evidence Shows That New Public Management Does Not

open access: yesEuropean Policy Analysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Does street‐level bureaucrats' (SLBs) willingness to sacrifice their own self‐interests to meet the needs of their clients vary depending on their contexts? To date, it has been very challenging to empirically examine how SLBs who have different orientations toward social values might act in different institutional and administrative contexts.

Forecasting Electricity Peak Load: Time‐Series Modeling Integrating Economic and Demographic Dynamics—A Case Study From Jordan

open access: yesEnergy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
Forecasts peak electricity demand in Jordan for grid expansion over the next decade. Introduces a comparative method combining ARIMA, ARIMA‐X, and regression models. Projections show a 41% peak load increase by 2035, reaching around 5300 MW. The findings support capacity planning, pricing strategies, and network expansion.

Mesoscale Circulation and Coral Community Disturbance at Isolated Reefs

open access: yesGlobal Change Biology Communications, EarlyView.
The Loop Current is a seasonally and interannually dynamic mesoscale oceanographic feature in the Gulf of Mexico that strongly influences connectivity and environmental conditions across the region. We investigated the influence of Loop Current variability on coral reef disturbances at isolated reefs in the northwest Gulf, including coral disease ...

High‐mobility suspended MoS2 devices with tunable threshold voltage

open access: yesInfoMat, EarlyView.
Due to their atomic‐scale thickness, two‐dimensional materials (2DMs) are highly sensitive to their environment, including the substrate. By fabricating various suspended molybdenum disulfide devices, this study demonstrates that the suspended structure can shield the influence of the substrate on the properties of 2DMs, thereby enabling better ...

Conjugation‐mediated and polarity‐switchable interfacial layers for fast cycling of lithium‐metal batteries

open access: yesInfoMat, EarlyView.
Thiophene‐embedded solid electrolyte interphase exhibits switchable polarity for uniform Li plating, and the electron‐rich cathode electrolyte interphase stabilizes high‐valence Ni ions in the cathode. These molecularly engineered interfacial layers enable fast cycling of lithium‐metal batteries for practical applications.
