Bridging New Divides: Ethnic Linkages and Trade in Africa

South African Journal of Economics, Volume 94, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT This paper studies the effects of ethnic linkages on trade between countries within Africa. I construct a digitised and geo‐referenced dataset of historical ethnic territories for pre‐colonial Africa. The empirical strategy exploits the role of historical ethnic territories in shaping the current distribution of ethnic groups across countries ...

Sequencing Finance for Climate Resilience: Instruments, Institutions and Hong Kong's Role in Mobilising Private Capital in Southeast Asia

Business Strategy and the Environment, Volume 35, Issue 4, Page 6089-6110, May 2026.
ABSTRACT This paper investigates innovative financing strategies to mobilise private capital for climate adaptation, emphasising Hong Kong's role in advancing efforts across Southeast Asia. Using expert interviews and case studies, it addresses two key questions: which financial instruments can strengthen public–private collaboration, and what best ...

Influence of Deadwood, Tree‐Related Microhabitats, and Forest Structural Features on Saproxylic Arthropod Diversity

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
We used environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding across 135 temperate forest plots in Germany to examine how deadwood, tree‐related microhabitats (TreMs), and forest structure shape saproxylic arthropod communities. Structural equation modeling revealed that TreM richness and deadwood volume are key predictors of arthropod diversity, highlighting the ...

Low‐Cost Friction‐Based Force‐Limiting Connection With Reduced Sensitivity to Machining Tolerances and Accelerated Repairability

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 6, Page 1270-1291, May 2026.
ABSTRACT This paper presents a novel yet practical friction‐based structural component design for low‐damage earthquake‐resistant structures. The proposed connection design is based on a conventional slotted‐bolted configuration with the novelty being the use of loose steel washer plates to establish the friction‐sliding interface.

Behavior of Long‐Slotted Perforated Steel Plate Fuses in Timber Brace End Connections

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 6, Page 1247-1269, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Steel perforated plate fuses have emerged as a promising solution for mass timber seismic force‐resisting systems, offering tunable energy dissipation mechanisms, such as flexural and shear yielding, through geometric adjustments. This study examines the cyclic performance of perforated steel plate fuses employed in timber braced frames, with ...
