The Legacies of Lockdown: Moral Logics of Exchange and Mistrust in Postpandemic China
Economic Anthropology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT When Shanghai entered an extended lockdown under China's Zero‐COVID policy in spring 2022, residents found themselves confined within their residential compounds, cut off from conventional supply chains, and dependent on improvised systems of local provisioning and state rationing. From the perspective of economic anthropology, such conditions

Withdrawal strength of self-tapping screws in tropical hardwood
, 2022 Self-tapping screws are popular tools used in timber engineering. The axial withdrawal strength of self-tapping screws could be used in timber structures as an active or passive application. An example of an active application is the use as a fastener in

Incremental upper bound modeling of concrete failures in timber‐concrete notched connections
Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract This paper introduces a novel theoretical framework for developing incremental upper bound solutions, which is applied to predict the response of two local concrete failures in timber‐concrete composite (TCC) decks with notched connections. The new approach enables a prediction of the capacity at the onset of failure as well as the entire post‐

Load bearing behaviour of self-tapping screws in laser-drilled guideholes
, 2022 S.238-245Self-tapping screws, used as efficient reinforcements or connectors for timber and glulam structures, tend to ""stray"" from the designated axis when long and slender screws are applied.

Types of Struggles in Disrupted Interaction: A Case of Hard‐of‐Hearing Employees
Symbolic Interaction, EarlyView.Everyone experiences disrupted interactions in their everyday life. However, research indicates that people with functional impairments are particularly exposed to patterns of interactional inequality at work. Despite this, little is known about the specific disrupted interactions in everyday life and the various types of interactional struggles this ...
