The Contention of Care: A Latin American Perspective
ABSTRACT In the current global political landscape, characterised by increasing polarisation and a rise in far‐right conservative governments, ‘care’ has become a contested field. In particular, the decline in birth rates has catalysed conservative discourse advocating a return to ‘traditional’ values around the world.

The Qiantang tidal bore is globally renowned for its spectacular landscape and its strong impacts on the Qiantang riverbed erosion/deposition process. However, due to the extremely high spatial gradient of its water level along the propagation direction ...

ABSTRACT Atlantic salmon (Salmo must survive the transition from river to fjord in order to migrate to northern latitudes where they feed and grow at sea. In the River Suldalslågen in southern Norway, hydropower regulated water discharge determines the timing and extent of river flows and fjord currents.

ABSTRACT Human interactions, specifically fishery entanglements (FI) and vessel strikes (VI), threaten marine mammals, including the Barataria Bay Estuarine System (BBE) Stock of common bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus). We reviewed whole‐body photographs to estimate the prevalence of sublethal entanglement and vessel strike scars for 227 ...

Powers That Be: An Adventure in Metaphysics
ABSTRACT This paper is an investigation into the increasingly popular trend amongst philosophers on the metaphysics of powers, exemplified by the statement: ‘To be real is to possess a power to affect (or to be affected by) other things’. First, I briefly trace the history of this idea (from the Eleatic dialectic of ancient times to present day quantum

ABSTRACT Early marine carbonate cements generally form in CaCO3‐supersaturated seawater at the seabed or shallow burial depths, resulting in syn‐sedimentary cemented firmgrounds and hardgrounds. The processes controlling early marine diagenesis are complex, particularly in coastal environments where geochemistry is influenced by different water sources

ABSTRACT Paralic depositional systems are complex and heterogeneous sedimentary environments, presenting challenges for predicting reservoir architecture and connectivity. Their stratigraphic and facies variability arises from the dynamic interplay between fluvial, tidal and wave processes, and their sensitivity to sea‐level fluctuations, sediment ...

A design of double gradient effect is proposed to resolve the contradictory optimization on sensitivity and linearity of piezoresistive tactile sensors. The ultrawide linearity is realized by the sequential trigger of pressure‐induced gradient conductivity‐enabled linear current owing to the gradient microstructures.

Abstract Premise The southwestern United States is at the forefront of nonnative Phragmites australis subsp. australis expansion. Native Phragmites australis subsp. americanus, likely in decline in North America, is ecologically and culturally important and of conservation interest. In the greater Grand Canyon region, the Glen Canyon Dam led to loss of

Through the Looking Glass: Uncovering the EU's Gendered Foreign Policy to Afghanistan
ABSTRACT Afghanistan has consistently ranked among the most challenging contexts for the promotion of women's rights. This situation has intensified with the Taliban's return to power in August 2021 and the subsequent consolidation of what has been termed a system of gender apartheid.
