CONTESTED METABOLIC NODES: Shareholding Cooperatives and Planetary Ruralization in China
Abstract China's recent shareholding cooperative (SC) reform heralds a shift from expropriation‐led rural change to a post‐expropriation regime in which the countryside is reconstituted through circulation, capitalization, and new forms of collective governance. Existing interpretations, whether framed as market‐driven de‐collectivization, state‐led re‐

STRATIFIED ADAPTATION: Infrastructure, Elevation, and Cascading Floods in the Urban Mekong Delta
Abstract Flood‐prone cities in the global South are increasingly the target of infrastructure projects aimed at building climate ‘resilience’. At the same time, residents of these cities take adaptation to flooding into their own hands. In this article we examine the interrelationship between household‐scale and urban‐scale flood mitigation projects in

Comparative evaluation of adhesive tapes and stamps for touch DNA collection from textile substrates
Abstract A substantial proportion of forensic evidence consists of skin or contact traces, commonly referred to as touch DNA. The collection of such biological material remains challenging due to its invisibility and low abundance. Further, depending on substrate type and surface properties, different recovery methods are employed, with adhesive tapes ...

Nocturnal Behavior of Wintering Common Cranes (Grus grus) Under Varying Environmental Conditions
For diurnal species, nighttime represents a critical ecological boundary. Understanding the ecological determinants of nocturnal activity in taxa traditionally regarded as inactive after dusk is essential for elucidating the adaptive significance of nighttime behavior. We examined how night phase, nocturnal brightness (moon illumination and cloud cover)

ABSTRACT Riverine and valley systems across the globe have been central to the development of past urban centres. By AD 900, the Shashe and Limpopo Rivers seem to have facilitated the interaction and integration of early farming communities in southern Africa. This paper focuses on the application of geoarchaeological perspectives made available by the

The Moral (Un)Desirability of New Biomedical Technologies as Potential Techno‐Fixes
ABSTRACT The techno‐fix argument, used to argue against technological interventions that address the consequences of social problems instead of their underlying causes, is increasingly invoked in biomedical discussions. However, especially in biomedicine, the techno‐fix argument remains conceptually underdeveloped.

Immune surveillance of residual leukemic stem cells after tyrosine kinase inhibitor discontinuation involves coordinated NK‐cell, CTL, Treg, pDC, and neutrophil activity that predicts treatment‐free remission, while exhausted CTLs and Treg expansion predict relapse in chronic myeloid leukemia.
