Determining the utility of radio frequency identification (RFID) technology for disaster victim identification (DVI)

Journal of Forensic Sciences, Volume 71, Issue 5, Page 2268-2285, September 2026.
Abstract Radio frequency identification (RFID) technology was evaluated as a method for electronically tracking human remains and associated identifying information during mass fatality incidents. Conventional tags are prone to physical damage and failure, which can compromise identification processes and hinder the repatriation of bodies.

Learning From Crushing Failures: Changes in Physical Properties Reveal the Mechanics of Submarine Carbonate Landslides

Basin Research, Volume 38, Issue 5, September‐October 2026.
Changes in the physical properties of calcareous ooze between intact weak layers and glide planes within the same stratigraphy provide new constraints on the deformation processes and mechanical factors that control the mobility and erosive behaviour of submarine carbonate landslides.

A Causal Map Framework to Explain Support for Strong Leaders in Politics

International Social Science Journal, Volume 76, Issue 261, Page 743-758, September 2026.
ABSTRACT The article introduces a computational theory explaining why some people support strong leaders in politics, arguing that this support sometimes arises because people view a strong leader as means to address social problems. The theory proposes that people develop a causal map concerning the consequences of the rise of a strong leader.

Vernacular Flood Resilience: Constructive and Spatial Responses to Hydro‐Climatic Hazards in Seven Water‐Based Settlements

Journal of Flood Risk Management, Volume 19, Issue 3, September 2026.
This study of seven vernacular water‐based settlements identifies six recurring flood resilience patterns showing how spatial organization, repairable construction, material renewal, and collective governance respond to flood‐related hazards and support long‐term coexistence with water.
