Making Mining Licit: Gold, Commodification, and the Everyday Performance of Law in Colombia
American Anthropologist, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Ethnographies of resource‐making have shown that the extraction of resource value from objects is premised on obviating the emplaced lifeworlds that surrounded objects before they traveled to consumer markets. Much of this literature looks at such supply‐chain disentanglement from the viewpoint of corporate and formal regulatory practices ...

Study on an Optimal Strut-And-Tie Model for Concrete Deep Beams
Applied Sciences, 2019 The optimal strut-and-tie models (STMs) of two typical irregular concrete deep beams were constructed using evolutionary structural optimization and compared with those of previous studies.

American Ethnologist, EarlyView.Abstract The world of Colombian gaited horses, or cultura caballista (horse‐riding culture), is often linked with uribismo, the right‐wing identity associated with former president Álvaro Uribe Vélez. Ethnographic fieldwork in conflict‐torn Antioquia reveals how horse‐human practices of training, breeding, and competition cultivate orientations toward ...

The Howard Journal of Crime and Justice, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The cultures and governance of security markets in the United Kingdom are often characterised through a paradoxical narrative of simultaneous state retreat and progressive advance. In the face of repeated recent high‐profile security failures, and global changes in material political economy, we argue that UK security governance is adapting to

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.We examined morphology, 3D arrangement, and mineral amount in cartilaginous vertebrae from four lamniform shark families (Alopiidae, Carchariidae, Cetorhinidae, and Lamnidae). We identified family‐specific mineralization trends, and regional patterning of structures along the column.

Secrecy: An Epistemological Account
Noûs, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Although the ethical and political implications of secrecy are significant, I argue here that its fundamental nature is epistemological and that any account of its nature must be based on its epistemological profile. In particular, I propose examining secrecy within the framework of social and political epistemology, considering secrets as ...

Orthopaedic Surgery, EarlyView.This study developed a novel three‐dimensional (3D)‐printed strut‐type prosthesis for reconstruction of bone defects following hemicortical resection of distal femoral parosteal osteosarcoma. The mid‐term follow‐up results demonstrated that this prosthesis effectively restored limb function and exhibited favorable bone ingrowth and osseointegration ...

Seriality and style: The embodiment, perception, and normalization of collectives
The Southern Journal of Philosophy, EarlyView.Abstract Within existential phenomenology, both seriality and style have been drawn on to theorize the embodiment and perceptibility of (social) ontological differences. While style refers to how we encounter the world and others not in the abstract, but as immediately and intuitively meaningful, seriality is a form of collective being that pertains to
