A story of two national research evaluation systems: Towards a comparative sociology of quantification

open access: yes, 2020
National research evaluation systems that use metrics for the assessment of academicinstitutions are usually regarded as exemplifying the same neo-liberal model of governance that,with minor variations, is implemented worldwide. This paper argues, however, that, despiteapparent similarities, metrics are used for different aims in different national ...

Quantifying user variability in the traditional X‐ray ice‐rafted‐debris counting technique

open access: yesJournal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The flux of icebergs is most commonly constrained in the palaeo‐record by manually counting gravel clasts in sediment core X‐ray images—a trusted method in Quaternary science and palaeoceanography for nearly 40 years. In this study, we explore the reproducibility (user consistency and between‐user variability) of the traditional clast‐counting

Can DNA from wet, temperate soils be used for palaeoecological reconstruction?

open access: yesJournal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sedimentary ancient DNA in well‐dated contexts (sedaDNA) has great potential as a palaeoecological proxy. A few studies have attempted palaeoecological reconstructions using sedaDNA from soil; these studies have been mainly restricted to cold and/or dry soils.

Avoiding “Failure of Foresight” or Tunnel Vision Requires a Multi‐Paradigmatic Strategic Decision‐Making Approach

open access: yesStrategic Change, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper considers the tensions between different organizational strategic decision‐making approaches at various levels of uncertainty. Of particular focus are the mechanisms for defaulting to lower uncertainty, from the Cynefin framework's unordered chaotic and complex domains to the more ordered complicated and obvious domains.

Economic approaches to measuring labor exploitation in agriculture: A systematic literature review of indicators and methodologies

open access: yesJournal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract Agriculture remains highly vulnerable to labor exploitation, affecting almost two million workers worldwide and drawing increasing attention, particularly within the framework of Sustainable Development Goal 8 of the United Nations 2030 Agenda. However, the informal nature of exploitation and fragmented data complicate its analysis.

The Impact of Climate Change on Soil Erosion Rates in the Chernozem Zone of Ukraine

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Soil degradation driven by accelerated water erosion threatens global food security. Quantitative estimates of soil erosion losses allow at‐risk areas to be identified and the success of soil management plans to be monitored. However, estimating soil erosion losses under changing climatic conditions is challenging, particularly at the scales ...
