Transformation of the Agrarian Landscape and Hope in the Central Kalimantan Peatlands

Asia Pacific Viewpoint, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In Kalimantan, Indonesian Borneo, agrarian state programs and corporate strategies seek to transform indigenous Ngaju Dayak into sedentary farmers. Focusing on the notion of transformation, the paper traces whether and how rural people can engage in struggles against structural injustices.

Digital Transformation of Retail Work: The Rise of Chaotic Rationalisation

British Journal of Industrial Relations, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We examine how new digital technologies are transforming labour processes in frontline jobs in United States (US) store‐based retail, examining the US as an extreme case of labour market liberalisation. Research on technological change presents three scenarios: job displacement, job enrichment and ‘digital Taylorism’ involving heightened ...

Beyond affirmation: Lessons from Tavistock —A psychoanalytic critique of identity certainty and institutional defence

British Journal of Psychotherapy, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper offers a psychoanalytic critique of the affirmation model in gender identity care, drawing on clinical experience from the Tavistock Gender Identity Development Service (GIDS). It argues that institutional and therapeutic responses to gender distress in young people are increasingly shaped by pressures to affirm rather than to ...

What Makes a Person Accessible? Exploring the Characteristics of ‘Accessible People’ From the Perspective of Adults With Learning Disabilities

British Journal of Learning Disabilities, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Previous research has investigated the factors that promote or reduce accessibility for people with learning disabilities.

Coastal evolution, environmental change and carbon storage in the Thung Prong Thong Mangrove, eastern Gulf of Thailand

Boreas, EarlyView.
Palaeoenvironmental records along the eastern coast of Thailand remain sparse, with only a few studies attempting to reconstruct past climatic and environmental conditions. However, additional palaeoenvironmental, palaeoclimatic and sea‐level records are needed to improve our understanding of coastal evolution and local environmental changes.

Palaeolandscape reconstruction of a shallow coastal embayment in Kattegat, Denmark—influence of sea‐level changes during the latest Pleistocene and Holocene

Boreas, EarlyView.
We analyse the geological processes of a coastal embayment in the Kattegat. Using high‐resolution seismic data and sediment cores, we describe a geological evolution from glacial to shallow marine stages with a variety of preserved facies from different depositional settings, including glacio‐lacustrine, telmatic, limnic and coastal environments.

A limpet's eye view of post‐glacial isostasy: fixed biological indicators provide new sea‐level index points for the Mid‐Holocene relative highstand in eastern Northern Ireland

Boreas, EarlyView.
Bioerosional scars made by limpets (Patella) on a cliff in Co. Antrim, Northern Ireland, indicate a Mid‐Holocene RSL of +7.8±0.55 m relative to local mid‐tide level today. This is higher than previous empirical data for the region and extrapolated levels from raised shorelines in Scotland but consistent with some recent GIA models.
