Disintegration, Salvation, and/or Madness in Dostoevsky
International Journal of Applied Psychoanalytic Studies, Volume 23, Issue 1, March 2026.ABSTRACT Psychological fragmentation and derangement suffuse Dostoevsky's fiction. This paper argues that the madness of Dostoevsky characters derives from intense wounds to the self: humiliating lacerations that impel fugue and disintegration. Such vulnerable, frangible characters seek to escape and deny themselves to avoid being seen for who they are.

Chemie Ingenieur Technik, Volume 98, Issue 3, Page 98-105, March 2026.Let us consider an alternative perspective on climate change: The sum of solar radiation and heat generated by human activity result in a net energy input of 1.96 times that of the Sun on the Earth's surface. The expanding global population is expected to exacerbate this issue. Potential solutions are proposed, including replacement and heat recycling.

Geoarchaeology, Volume 41, Issue 2, March/April 2026.ABSTRACT This study presents new evidence for the early use of lime mortar during the Early Iron Age at the Piscina Torta site (Ostia, Italy), situated on the earliest Holocene beach ridges in the southern Tiber delta. The site, which was earlier described as a briquetage site, dates from between the late 8th and 6th century BCE and consists of a large
