Thermal‐induced fracture evolution and acoustic signature of Beishan granite: Insights into tensile strength of barrier system for high‐level radioactive waste disposal

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
The tensile strength of granite, a proposed host for nuclear waste, degrades severely above 400°C. We link this to specific microcracking patterns captured by acoustic emission, establishing a scientific basis for assessing repository safety under thermal load.

Modifiable Transdiagnostic Risk and Protective Factors as Potential CBT Augmentation Targets for Eating Disorders: An Updated Umbrella Review

open access: yesInternational Journal of Eating Disorders, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective A focus on transdiagnostic targets is one of the key strategies for developing effective, efficient, and scalable treatments for mental health conditions. We conducted an umbrella review of recent meta‐analyses (August 2022 to May 2026) to update our understanding of critical transdiagnostic intervention targets that could inform ...

Water Governance Under International Pressure: Policy Narratives, Food Security, Scarcity, and the Politics of Survival in Iran

open access: yesEnvironmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Water governance is increasingly influenced by a paradox at the nexus of environmental scarcity and food security. Escalating water scarcity crises coincide with geopolitical disruptions that have exposed the fragility of global food supply chains, prompting states to expand domestic food production at the expense of water conservation ...

Environmental Statecraft, Fragmented Authoritarianism, and Technocratic Governance: The Structure and Agency of China's Local Environmental Politics

open access: yesEnvironmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Local environmental politics in China is often said to be dominated by state‐controlled modes of multi‐level governance. However, top‐down governance is embedded within and transformed by local politics, adding complexity to governance practices and environmental outcomes.

Everyone Knows It's a Hoax: The Role of Perceived Descriptive Norms in Conspiracy Beliefs

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Social Psychology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT People's belief in conspiracy theories is shaped by social influence processes. This contribution investigated these processes in six studies (total N = 2906) by examining the role of descriptive norms, that is, the perception that others endorse conspiracy theories.
