Collateralization of the Body in the Central Sahara: On Forms and Effects

Economic Anthropology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article tracks a transporter along the route linking Tripoli to the Saharan town of Ghadames in post‐2011 Libya, asking what secures an obligation when the institutions that normally underwrite it (offices, courts, recognized names) have receded. I distinguish the debt, the sum owed, from the security pledged to answer for it: what may be

Investing Aura: Making Value at an Emirati Art Center

Economic Anthropology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The article examines the politics and processes of establishing value for artworks, highlighting the continued belief in Walter Benjamin's idea of aura and describing the value aura generates as “auratic value.” Focusing on an artist residency program in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) during the country's arts boom, I analyze contestations ...

Electroconductive MXene‐Thin‐Film‐Composite Membranes for Coupled Osmotic Concentration and PFAS Mineralization

Small, EarlyView.
An electroconductive MXene‐TFC membrane integrates osmotic dewatering with anodic oxidation to concentrate and mineralize PFOA at the membrane interface. The coupled AO‐PRO configuration accelerates degradation kinetics, achieves 99% rejection and up to 93% TOC removal, and lowers specific energy demand, offering a compact route for PFAS destruction ...

Emergent Innovation in Systemic Programme Design: Retrospective Reflections on the Development of a Student‐Centred Masters in Systems Thinking

Systems Research and Behavioral Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Our theory of education, based on a systemic understanding of the subjective and intersubjective construction of knowledge, is that students are motivated to study what is most meaningful to them. Meaningfulness is grounded in the students' prior experiences, which are highly diverse.

A Comparative Study of Directed Energy Deposition‐Arc and Casting: Enhancing Mechanical and Thermal Properties of Hot‐Work Tool Steels

steel research international, EarlyView.
The study investigates the influence of DED‐Arc/M versus casting on the microstructure and material properties of X40CrMoV5‐1 (AISI H13) hot‐work tool steel. DED‐Arc/M yields finer microstructures, superior mechanical strength, and ductility, but slightly reduced thermal conductivity.
