The Bazaar as a Model for Knowledge Work

Knowledge and Process Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper presents fieldwork that extends existing metaphors of knowledge work as a process shaped by hierarchical or market forces. A qualitative, ethnographic study of six knowledge‐intensive businesses in two countries identifies striking parallels with the Middle Eastern bazaar in contrast to Western impersonal markets and hierarchies.

Non‐anatomical MPFL reconstruction and failure to address relevant pathologies are common reasons for treatment injuries following treatment for patellofemoral instability

Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose Management of patellofemoral instability (PFI) tailored to the individual patoanatomy can be complex with potential pitfalls. However, reports on complications and suboptimal outcomes remain limited. The aim of this study was to analyse problems related to PFI treatment in Denmark.

Adaptation of seedbed preparation for spring cereals to unfavourably high soil moisture conditions in loam soil

Acta Agriculturae Scandinavica. Section B, Soil and Plant Science, 2019
In the future, increased precipitation in spring may force Scandinavian farmers to prepare their cereal seedbeds under conditions with excessive soil moisture, and thereby risk soil compaction, oxygen deficiency and yield loss. To adapt to climate change

Microbiological Mechanisms of Sand‐Mixed Soil Improvement in Continuously Cropped Soil

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sand‐mix soil is a widely adopted method for soil improvement in agricultural production. However, beyond the evident enhancement of physical structure, the mechanisms by which sand‐mix soil promotes crop root growth by influencing soil physicochemical properties and microbial communities remain insufficiently understood.

Liquid Crystal Elastomers Filaments for Adaptive Textiles and Soft Robotics: A Processing‐Centric Review

Macromolecular Rapid Communications, EarlyView.
Liquid crystal elastomer (LCE) filaments are fabricated through extrusion with in‐process UV curing, enabling controlled flow alignment and network locking of mesogens. The resulting structure responds to thermal or optical stimuli, inducing molecular reorientation and macroscopic contraction.

Experimental Study on Polymer–Polymer Interfacial Thermal Resistance

Macromolecular Theory and Simulations, Volume 34, Issue 2, March 2025.
Interfacial thermal resistance (ITR) in polymer–polymer interfaces is experimentally measured in this paper by the multi‐layered bulk sample approach. Based on numerical simulation and experimental verification, new techniques of layer‐overlapping samples are developed.
