The collision of feminisms, sexuality, and trafficking in persons in the Caribbean—A place for Kempadoo

Feminist Anthropology, EarlyView.
Abstract The existence and development of feminist scholarship and practice have been revisited by feminist anthropologists and sociologists exploring it among the gendered cultural and historical dynamics of the Caribbean. Feminist Caribbeanists’ pioneering efforts that fit within this theoretical family have challenged the Global North status quo to ...

Programmable crack dynamics engineering enables flexible strain sensors with high linearity

FlexMat, EarlyView.
First‐decoupling theoretical framework of crack evolution elucidating the control methods, mechanistic insights, and structure‐activity relationships is established. Crack propagation from uncontrollable randomness systematically evolves into spatially ordered states.

Recent advances in multifunctional soft robots: A materials–structures–systems co‐design perspective for synergistic integration

FlexMat, EarlyView.
Abstract Soft robots, engineered from highly compliant materials, offer superior adaptability and safety in unstructured environments compared to their rigid counterparts. Recent advancements, fueled by bio‐inspiration and material programmability, have led to the rapid co‐evolution of their core modules: actuation, sensing, protection, energy, and ...

Creation of a Landslide Susceptibility Map Using Short‐Term Data From the July 2018 Heavy Rainfall in Southern Hiroshima Prefecture

Geological Journal, EarlyView.
This work advances landslide susceptibility mapping by incorporating short‐term trigger data with landscape susceptibility mapping. We also examine the importance of downsampling, watershed delineation and geospatial correlations in evaluating outcomes.

Late summer plateau pika spatial habitat use revealed by high‐resolution wildlife tracking and unmanned aerial vehicle data on the Qinghai‐Tibet Plateau

Grassland Research, EarlyView.
Tiny “ecosystem engineers,” plateau pikas range across 1600 m², about two basketball courts, mixing soil and nutrients that sustain Tibet's fragile grasslands. Custom‐made trackers and drone imagery show dawn‐to‐dusk surface foraging and nested‐scale patch choices, offering fresh guidance for wildlife‐friendly grazing management.
