Changing practices, not just rules: Rethinking the institutionalisation of deliberative engagement
Abstract When Victoria introduced legislation requiring all 79 councils to adopt deliberative engagement, 92% continued practices the legislation had just removed. This paradox reveals a fundamental challenge in embedding democratic innovations within existing systems of government: legislation signals commitment but cannot disrupt entrenched ...

Test mass charge management in the detection of gravitational waves in space based on UV micro-LED
As an alternative to the ultraviolet light emitting diode(UV LED), the feasibility of utilizing UV micro-LED in the charge management in the detection of gravitational waves in space is experimentally studied. Compared with UV LED, micro-LED is more compact in size, has better current spreading, faster response time and longer operating life ...

Sustainable Tourism and Projectification: Evidence from South‐Eastern Italy
Abstract This article examines how public policy can be used to promote local tourism and steer it towards sustainability. It uses the municipality of Lecce—a medium‐sized city in south‐eastern Italy—and the broader Salento region as a critical case study, drawing on descriptive statistics, administrative data on local policy projects promoting culture

Dynamic Wave Trains: A Procedural Approach to Spatially Varying Ocean Synthesis
In this paper, we present a high performance procedural model capable of synthesizing and rendering a virtually infinite ocean. Our method exhibits spatial variations as the orientations, speed and choppiness of the waves is parametrized for each frequencies and each point in space. The provided visual abstract exhibits a sunset rendering of a large 40

Reconfiguring Functional Solidarity: Typologies of Intergenerational Support in Contemporary China
ABSTRACT Objective This study provides an updated typology of intergenerational support between parents and adult children in contemporary China. Background A growing body of research has documented the diversity of intergenerational relationships among Chinese families, yet existing studies often lack granularity in capturing functional solidarity ...

When Great Powers Struggle: How Geopolitical Alignments of Small States Are Influenced by Their MNEs
Abstract Comparing two distinct deglobalization periods, this study shows how Finnish multinational enterprises (MNEs) used corporate diplomatic activities (CDA) to influence Finland's alignment with a struggling great power. Drawing from hegemonic stability theory and new institutional economics, we argue that the power's collapsing global networks ...

Abstract While research on ecosystems and their orchestration has grown rapidly, we still know little about how individual strategic leaders may mobilize ecosystemic action in times of disruption. This article addresses this gap by drawing on an in‐depth case study of the Antwerp Square Mile, the world’s oldest and most renowned diamond trading ...

The space microwave interferometer and the search for cosmic background gravitational wave radiation
Present and planned investigations which use interplanetary spacecraft for gravitational wave searches are severely limited in their detection capability.

Abstract The majority of planetary impacts occur at oblique angles. Impact structures on Earth are commonly eroded or buried, rendering the identification of the direction and angle of impact—using methods such as asymmetries in ejecta distribution, surface topographic expression, central uplift structure, and geophysical anomalies—challenging. In this
