International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.Abstract From desert ski resorts to subtropical Winter Games, there is a global proliferation of ‘mission‐impossible’ mega‐projects. The prevailing frameworks of city branding and urban entrepreneurism fail to explain the political logics behind these seemingly irrational projects.

CONTESTED METABOLIC NODES: Shareholding Cooperatives and Planetary Ruralization in China
International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.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
International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.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
Journal of Forensic Sciences, EarlyView.Abstract A substantial proportion of forensic evidence consists of skin or contact traces, commonly referred to as touch DNA.

Nocturnal Behavior of Wintering Common Cranes (Grus grus) Under Varying Environmental Conditions
Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.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)

The Moral (Un)Desirability of New Biomedical Technologies as Potential Techno‐Fixes
Bioethics, EarlyView.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.
