Analysing Island Change Through Infrastructures of Social Reproduction
Tijdschrift voor Economische en Sociale Geografie, EarlyView.Abstract This paper explores through a case study of Tórshavn, Faroe Islands, how the expansion of an urban environment that seemingly should accommodate women's everyday lives continues to be shaped by gendered challenges. Based on 13 life history interviews with elderly female residents, the analysis shows that (i) urban change is constituted by ...

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, Volume 143, Issue 35, September 15, 2026.Mechanistic insights from additive‐assisted plastic degradation guide the design of environmentally adaptive textile fibers. Functional additives enhance oxidative, hydrolytic, enzymatic, and microbial degradation pathways. Translating these strategies requires control of fiber architecture, additive distribution, and environmental interactions ...

An All‐Textile, Mechano‐Capacitive Subtle Movement Sensor
Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 36, Issue 63, 6 August 2026.A robust all‐textile capacitive sensor is introduced for measuring subtle body movements without long‐term degradation. By separating mechanical deformation from electrical sensing elements, accuracy, responsiveness, and durability are improved. Simple fabrication methods are presented, electrode effects are analyzed, and performance is validated ...
