Boredom, despondency, and the scourge that lays waste at noon: an anthropology of acedia Ennui, abattement et le fléau qui frappe à midi : une anthropologie de l'acédie

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
Attentive to the ways that inertia can take hold of life, Catholic monks recognize despondency as a potential not only within the monastery, but in contemporary society more widely. Such experiences are regularly mapped onto an understanding of what early Christian monks termed ‘acedia’ (a Greek term that can be translated as ‘lack of care’). Taking as

Bactrian in Issyk‐Kushan Script: Additional Readings and Decipherments1

Transactions of the Philological Society, EarlyView.
Abstract This article presents additional readings of several inscriptions written in the Issyk‐Kushan script, building on the improved system of sound values recently proposed by Sims‐Williams (2025b). We propose that some further lines of Dašt‐i Nāwur inscription DN III and parts of several other inscriptions can now be read as Bactrian, add new ...

Linearized model for wind turbines in yaw

The analysis of rigid hub, three-bladed horizontal-axis, axisymmetric wind turbines in yaw is made using a linearized, four-degree-of-freedom model. The linearized equations of motion of rotor and nacelle are developed using quasi-steady blade element ...

ON THE BRIGHTER SIDE OF THE NIGHT: Discovering Community and Care in Night Shift Work

International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Within the burgeoning attention being paid to the night‐time economy (NTE) in and by cities, the demands and impacts of night work have gathered increasingly scholarly attention. Research has centred on the darker side of these, pointing to workers' precarity and vulnerability. What if we attend also to a ‘brighter side’ of the night and night

Potential Correlation Between Bombus lantschouensis Thoracic Morphology and Flight Behavior

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Potential correlation between Bombus lantschouensis thoracic morphology and flight behavior. ABSTRACT Remarkably little modern work has investigated the thoracic structures of insects and their relationship to flight locomotion. Most studies focus exclusively on either morphology or flight kinematics.
