When Jobs Change: Skills Mismatch and the Value of Training

British Journal of Industrial Relations, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article examines the impact of rapidly changing skill requirements on skills mismatch in Europe and the role of training in mitigating adverse effects. Using data on approximately 70 million online job vacancies, we estimate the extent to which occupational skill requirements changed between 2019 and 2023 across European Union (EU ...

Image Segmentation Approaches for Weld Pool Monitoring during Robotic Arc Welding

Applied Sciences, 2018
There is a strong correlation between the geometry of the weld pool surface and the degree of penetration in arc welding. To measure the geometry of the weld pool surface robustly, many structured light laser line based monitoring systems have been ...

The Support Paradox: Explaining (Mis)Matches in Refugee Workplace Support

Journal of Management Studies, EarlyView.
Abstract Recent refugee movements have spurred corporate initiatives, with workplace support proving critical for integration. However, while research on workplace support for refugees remains limited, the broader support literature highlights paradoxical effects – support either benefits or harms recipients depending on how well it matches their needs.

Effect of HBr on Explosion Limits of Stoichiometric Hydrogen‐oxygen Mixture

International Journal of Chemical Kinetics, Volume 58, Issue 9, Page 646-657, September 2026.
ABSTRACT This work, based on numerical simulations, discusses the effect of HBr as an inhibitor on the explosion limit of stoichiometric hydrogen‐oxygen gas mixture in a closed spherical vessel. The numerical simulation solves the complete governing equations for mass, momentum, species and energy.

Between Steel and Skin: Corporeal Colonization of Women Workers and Gendered Organizations in Heavy Industry

Gender, Work &Organization, Volume 33, Issue 5, Page 1658-1675, September 2026.
ABSTRACT “I felt as if my body was being occupied by the factory.” The words of one woman working in Turkey's heavy industry were repeated in many accounts, capturing how industrial infrastructures calibrated to male norms press directly into women's bodies.

Microstructure and mechanical properties in VPPA keyhole welding of thick aluminum alloy

Journal of Materials Research and Technology
In this study, the 16 mm thick aluminum alloy was successfully welded using variable polarity plasma arc (VPPA) keyhole welding. The microstructure and microhardness distributions of the weld were systematically measured along its thickness and width. To

Farm‐Scale Recharge Pits for Improving Local Groundwater Availability: Insights From a Hardrock Watershed in Rajasthan, India

World Water Policy, Volume 12, Issue 3, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Groundwater depletion is a major challenge in semiarid, hard‐rock regions where irrigation demands often exceed natural recharge. This study evaluates the effectiveness of farm‐scale recharge pits as a local, supplementary, and community‐managed groundwater recharge solution in the Dharta catchment of Rajasthan, India. Alongside check dams and

Occupational exposure to metal welding and cataract: A systematic review and meta‐analysis

Acta Ophthalmologica, Volume 104, Issue 5, Page 486-497, August 2026.
Abstract Background Metal welding generates ultraviolet radiation (UVR) of cataractogenic wavelengths, and UVR emitted during welding has been associated with cataract formation, but results from prior studies are conflicting. Methods We conducted a systematic review and meta‐analysis of epidemiological studies addressing associations between ...
