Reflecting on Departure Among Irregular Transit Migrants in Europe
Authors: Jochim Vojtěch , Macková Lucie 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
This article discusses pre-migration resources mobilisation in the framework of aspirations and capabilities. Drawing on qualitative semi-structured interviews with 27 irregular transit migrants in the Eastern Mediterranean and Western Balkan route, it attempts to shed light on various resources that migrants need for their journeys. Among them are tangible and intangible resources and social capital. All of them are important but can, to an extent, be replaced by other resources. The resources for migrant preparation were mainly described in the context of regular migration or return migration. At the same time, the impact of border regimes and other restrictions make migrants re-consider their plans en route as they need to amass their resources multiple times and resume their journeys. Therefore, we examine the processes used to increase capabilities both before leaving and on the way.
Assessing the Intellectual Capital of Value Creation Process of Commercial Banks in the European Union
Authors: Rong Chen , Sial Muhammad Safdar , Álvarez-Otero Susana , Jo Hoje 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
This study examines the impact of intellectual capital on the overall value of commercial banks within the European Union (EU). The research aims to identify how these banks can evaluate and enhance their intellectual capital to improve operational performance. The study employs the value-added intellectual coefficient (VAIC) model to measure the efficiency of three types of capital: structural capital (SC), which is the value added by the company minus human capital; employed physical and financial capital (CE), representing the total financial capital available to the company; and human capital (HC), calculated based on employee costs. Data were sourced from the BankScope database, comprising published financial reports of 599 commercial banks. Control variables included loan quality, fund utilization ratio, and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The research identifies a significant positive correlation between financial capital, human capital, and the value-added function of banks. These findings suggest that financial and human capital are critical determinants of value addition in commercial banks within the EU. This study uniquely focuses on the intellectual capital performance of EU-based banks. To the best of our knowledge, such a comprehensive analysis on this subject within the context of EU banks has not been previously conducted.
Relational Symmetries of Disaster Resilience Explored Through the Sendai Framework’s Guiding Principles
Authors: Davis Belinda Jane , Reid Alan 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
The Mid-Term Review of the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015–2030 (SFDRR) recognizes the “interconnections and interdependencies” of disaster resilience. Conceptual and empirical research suggests that the field currently lacks innovative methodologies to enhance associated policy and practice that actively harnesses these relational dimensions. To help address these gaps, we apply Paul Ricœur’s concept of being in the world (“Oneself as Another”) to explore what a relationally-focused understanding might offer for the operationalization of the SFDRR’s 13 Guiding Principles. Our article outlines discursive, concrete, and practical benefits when relational approaches are fostered, including: (1) addressing shortcomings of structuralist, instrumentalist, and rationalist approaches; and (2) achieving more cohesive, ethical, and meaningful disaster resilience outcomes. Our analysis also reveals the particular risks of continuing to focus on the structural organizing of the constituent elements of the SFDRR’s disaster resilience policy and practice instead of attending to relational dimensions and processes. These risks include limiting ourselves to an instrumentally-driven, disconnected discourse and narrative of responses to disaster that favor the Self gaining resilience “through” Another. Thus, the alternative we illustrate, and advocate for, is a relational style of building resilience through prioritizing a robust sense of Oneself “with” Another. It is through this sense of “with” that can enable a shift from asymmetrical to symmetrical forms of policy and practice for future disaster resilience.

Abstract
The antitumoral activity, and in general, the biological activity is strongly altered by the low uptake of the active agents within the targeted cells. Therefore, lots of efforts have been made to ensure better cellular uptake by using specific carriers. In the present research we have obtained magnetic nanoparticles stabilized by polyethylene glycol (PEG) coating, and functionalized with aspartic acid, which is an important amino acid for protein synthesis and energy production in the body. Such decorated nanoparticles can be internalized by the tumoral cell due to their higher metabolic rate. The nanoparticles were used as a delivery system for antitumoral drugs as cisplatin, carboplatin or irinotecan in a Trojan Horse strategy. Based on the obtained results, it was found that aspartic acid can improve the internalization efficiency of the magnetic carriers after being loaded with antitumoral agents. The nanoparticles are quite stable, can reach and enter the mitochondria and organize around lipid vesicles in quite a high concentration, best results being obtained for the system loaded with cisplatin starting from 0.1 mg/mL.
Electrochemical polymerization of o-phenylenediamine in the presence of metal salts: influence of Cu(NO3)2 and AgNO3 on spectroelectrochemical properties and morphology
Authors: Onat Fatih Ekrem , Akıllı Aleyna , Kamış Handan 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
In this study, the effects of adding Cu(NO3)2 and AgNO3 metal salts to the polymerization medium on the electrochemical and spectroelectrochemical properties of poly(o-phenylenediamine) (PoPD) were investigated. It was observed that the presence of Cu(NO3)2 or AgNO3 during polymerization increased the rate of current peak growth, indicating an acceleration of the polymerization process in the presence of metal ions. The cyclic voltammetry responses of the metal/polymer composites differed significantly from those of the pure polymer, confirming the formation of metal/polymer composites. FTIR and UV–vis absorption spectra were analyzed to explore the chemical structure of PoPD, PoPD/Cu, and PoPD/Ag polymer films. SEM and AFM analyses revealed distinct morphological differences between the polymer synthesized in the presence of metal salts and the pure polymer. Spectroelectrochemical analyses demonstrated that the polymer films exhibited reversible color changes from light copper to green, with distinct optical intensities in the UV–vis spectra. The absorbance and current values changed reversibly with the applied potential, with response times of approximately 10 s. Colorimetric analysis based on the CIE system showed unique variations in brightness (L), magnitude (a), and intensity (b) for PoPD, PoPD/Ag, and PoPD/Cu, confirming distinct colorimetric shifts during redox transitions. This study highlights the impact of Cu and Ag salts on the spectroelectrochemical and electrochromic performance of PoPD, revealing potential applications for PoPD composites in advanced electrochromic devices.
Bringing to Life the Qualities of a Meaningful Transformative Education
Authors: Glackin Melissa , Greer Kate 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
This paper shares a heuristic to support thinking about meaningful transformative education within the context of the contemporary environmental and social crisis. We describe the context of this work and explore the epistemological foundations for this model, which has been evolving and guiding our research and teaching and which underpins the six qualities of meaningful transformative education. The qualities are being open to alternative visions of the future and alternative approaches to education, accepting and embracing complexity, incorporating multiple types of knowledge, reorienting towards justice, developing ecological worldviews and supporting students to bring about systemic change. We also present a series of illustrative vignettes, informed by real-world practices of schools in England, which bring these qualities to life. The vignettes and subsequent discussion highlight possibilities and challenges for enacting a meaningful transformative education in schools.

Abstract
Wetlands in hypersaline environments are especially vulnerable to loss and degradation, as increasing coastal urbanization and climate change rapidly exacerbate freshwater supply stressors. Hypersaline wetlands pose unique management challenges that require innovative restoration perspectives and approaches that consider complex local and regional socioecological dynamics. In part, this challenge stems from multiple co-occurring stressors and anthropogenic alterations, including estuary mouth closure and freshwater diversions at the catchment scale. In this article, we discuss challenges and opportunities in the restoration of hypersaline coastal wetland systems, including management of freshwater inflow, shoreline modification, the occurrence of concurrent or sequential stressors, and the knowledge and values of stakeholders and Indigenous peoples. Areas needing additional research and integration into practice are described, and paths forward in adaptive management are discussed. There is a broad need for actionable research on adaptively managing hypersaline wetlands, where outputs will enhance the sustainability and effectiveness of future restoration efforts. Applying a collaborative approach that integrates best practices across a diversity of socio-ecological settings will have global benefits for the effective management of hypersaline coastal wetlands.
The “Unusual” Suspect—Race, Class, and Crime: A Critical Discourse Case Study of Nova Scotia’s Mass Casualty Event
Authors: Samuels-Wortley Kanika 
Published: January 2025

AbstractThrough a critical discourse lens, a review of formal police documents detailing historical contact with the perpetrator of Canada’s worst mass casualty event aims to demonstrate that the perpetrator’s Whiteness and socio-economic status deemed him benign and thus invisible to law enforcement officials during the early stages of the mass casualty investigation. This exploration contributes to a broader racialized analysis of who is deemed suspicious or harmless within the context of policing. By contrasting the experiences of Black Nova Scotians with the police to those of the perpetrator, this case study will demonstrate how institutional procedures and processes, influenced by biases, not only produce and maintain racial disparities within the criminal justice system, but also negatively impact law enforcement officials’ ability to conduct fair and thorough criminal investigations, ultimately impeding public safety. The impact on police legitimacy is also discussed.
Against obstructivism
Authors: Dolin Josh 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
For Quassim Cassam, intellectual vices obstruct knowledge. On his view, that’s what makes them vices. But obstructing knowledge seems unnecessary. Some intellectual vices can manifest passively without obstructing knowledge. What’s more, obstructing knowledge seems insufficient. Some traits of intellectual character, not yet matured to full virtues, obstruct knowledge but earn us no blame or criticism. A motive-based theory of intellectual vice – a rival theory – can handle both of these issues.
Workplace learning and the future of work

Published: January 2025

Abstract
Global disruption, technological advances, and population demographics are rapidly affecting the types of jobs that are available and the workers who will fill those jobs in the future of work. Successful workers in the dynamic and uncertain landscape of the workplace of the future will need to adapt rapidly to changing job demands, highlighting the necessity for lifelong learning and development. With few exceptions, industrial-organizational (I-O) psychologists have tended to take an organization-centered perspective on training and development; a perspective that promotes worker development as a means to organizational success. Hence, we call for a broadening of this view to include a person-centered perspective on workplace learning focused on individual skill development. A person-centered perspective addresses lifelong learning and skill development for those already in the labor force, whether they are working within or outside of organizations (e.g., gig workers), or those looking for work. It includes the most vulnerable people currently working or seeking work. We describe the factors affecting the future of work, the need to incorporate a person-centered perspective on work-related skill learning into I-O research and practice, and highlight several areas for future research and practice.
Eating disorders: clinical update
Authors: Lynch D. , Ogutlu H. , Gundogdu-Ogutlu O. , Barrett E. , McNicholas F. 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
Variation exists in our attitude and behaviour towards food and exercise, resulting in different degrees of health and ill health. Cultural and economic factors contribute to this, alongside personal choices, leading to a spectrum from normative eating, through disordered eating to the extremes of eating disorders (EDs). Understanding the intricate interplay between biological, psychological, and sociocultural factors to eating, exercise and body image is paramount to understand the current state regarding EDs and to deliver/develop multifaceted and individualised treatments. Significant service developments have occurred following the launch of the Irish Health Service Executive Model of Care for EDs in 2018. However, incomplete roll out and surge in EDs referrals post Covid-19 require generic child and adolescent mental health services (CAMHS) to be competent in assessment of EDs, and to keep abreast of clinical updates in order to offer effective treatment.
This review provides an evidenced based update on eating related difficulties, outlines a useful assessment framework, offers information on appropriate clinical management, and highlights exciting clinically relevant research developments.
A juvenile pterosaur vertebra with putative crocodilian bite from the Campanian of Alberta, Canada
Authors: Brown Caleb M. , Bell Phil R. , Owers Holly , Pickles Brian J. 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
Identifying feeding interactions in the fossil record remains a key challenge for paleoecologists. We report the rare occurrence of a conical, perforative bite mark in a cervical vertebra of an azhdarchid pterosaur, which we identified as a juvenile individual of Cryodrakon boreas Hone, Habib, and Therrien, 2019 from the Campanian Dinosaur Park Formation in Alberta, Canada. Based on comparative analysis of the dentition and ecomorphology of potential trace makers in the Dinosaur Park Formation, as well as the morphology of the trace, the most likely candidate is a crocodilian, although whether it was made as a result of scavenging or predatory behavior is unknown. Feeding interactions involving pterosaurs are rare globally, whereas crocodilian bite marks are not uncommon in Cretaceous terrestrial ecosystems. Given the opportunistic feeding style and known range of food items for both extant and extinct crocodilians, pterosaurs can be counted as a rare, but not surprising, component of at least some Cretaceous crocodilian diets.

Authors: Orsi Juan Pablo 
Published: January 2025

Resumen
Se presenta evidencia arqueofaunística para estudiar indicadores de intensificación y discutir los cambios en el aprovechamiento alimenticio de camélidos de la Puna de Salta, noroeste de Argentina. El registro proviene del sitio Alero Cuevas, ubicado en la cuenca de Pastos Grandes, 4.400 m snm. Este sitio presenta una secuencia larga de ocupación que permite abordar el uso de los recursos animales entre aproximadamente 10.000 y 4000 años aP. Los resultados indican estrategias de aprovechamiento alimenticio que tienden a la intensificación de la explotación de los camélidos hacia los 4000 años aP. En este sentido, la información arqueofaunística presentada es útil para integrarla a la discusión planteada sobre los procesos de intensificación de uso de camélidos propuestos para la puna argentina.
Regional Chronologies and Hidden Transcripts: Defining the Initial Late Formative Period in the Southern Lake Titicaca Basin, Bolivia

Published: January 2025

Abstract
The excavation of a stratified sequence of deposits spanning the Initial Late Formative period (250 BC–AD 120) at Iruhito, in the upper Desaguadero Valley of Bolivia, provides insight into this previously unrecognized, four-century period separating the well-documented Middle Formative (800–250 BC) from the Late Formative (~AD 120–590) period. By tracking subtle shifts in ceramic, architectural, lithic, and faunal data, we can explore tempos of change in social life during this dynamic time. These data lead us to suggest that, rather than being a “transitional” period or a “hiatus” in regional occupation, the Initial Late Formative period was a distinct mode of sociality characterized by the realignment and expansion of interaction networks, on the one hand, and rejection of the decorative aesthetics, monumentality, and public-oriented performances of earlier periods, on the other. We argue that the Late Formative period centers emerging after ~AD 120 intentionally cited architecture and aesthetics that were distant in time and space, constituting a sophisticated political strategy. Finally, these data suggest that the chronological schemata we use to build regional histories often obscure social variability.
Italian vermouth on the international market (1890–1960): a success story
Authors: Mazzotti Omar , Maffi Luciano , Magagnoli Stefano 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
This article examines the causes and geographical trajectories of the globalisation of vermouth, one of the most famous Made in Italy products in the world. Of all the fortified wines, vermouth stands out for its unique history. Originally a product of Piedmont consumed mainly by the aristocracy and the emerging bourgeoisie, vermouth became the subject of a growing export trade between the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, gaining credibility thanks to the prizes won at international exhibitions and the marketing strategies of the main companies in the sector (Martini & Rossi, Carpano, Gancia, Cinzano). Despite the commercial difficulties it experienced in the twentieth century as a result of protectionist measures, the effects of war, the heterogeneous policies applied to the alcoholic beverage industry and widespread imitation and counterfeiting, vermouth has managed to maintain an appeal that has made it an international icon and one of the most resilient products in the medium to long term. This is partly the result of a media representation that was capable of deeply influencing the collective imagination of consumers.
Sport at the Conjuncture: Sport History, Sexual Abuse, and Resistance
Authors: Ross MacIntosh , Di Gravio Michael , Abu-Jazar Aram , Drozdowsky Daniel S. 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
Stuart Hall stated “the university is a critical institution or it is nothing.” When it comes to the historical study of sexual abuse in Canadian sport, until very recently, it has been very much the latter. Nothing. As part of a larger project on studies of sexual abuse in sport, we reviewed articles across the four leading sport history journals – Sport History Review, Sport in History, Journal of Sport History, and International Journal of the History of Sport – to consider what methods, sports, and demographics received the most analysis. Such an effort proved impossible. There was scholarly silence on the matter. But this raised another question. So what? Would publishing in pay-walled academic journals about so pressing a societal issue make any difference at all? Furthermore, can a PhD-touting academic – including the lead author of this paper – ever enact change via the field of history if their sole purpose is to churn out studies for the ivory tower? We think not. It requires boots on the ground. Engagement and collaboration with those Antonio Gramsci called “organic intellectuals,” so we can tend the flames of knowledge and fuel a movement. History can be the tool one wields. Public, digital history.
In Defence of the Best Interest Standard: A Fiduciary Duty
Authors: Pringle Schuyler 
Published: January 2025

AbstractLooking at Canadian provincial pediatric health care policies and laws, the best interest standard (BIS) enjoys support. Within philosophy, however, the BIS faces serious opposition. Granted, there remain a few fervent defenders of the BIS in the contemporary literature; however, I argue that while some authors nominally defend the BIS, my analysis reveals that what they really defend is at best a watered down version of it. In this article, I argue that not only must the BIS be understood narrowly, but a substitute decision-maker (SDM) must satisfy the BIS — for an SDM is her patient's fiduciary.
MacIntyrean Ethics and Lessons About Teleological Ethical Theories
Authors: Wall Edmund 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
Alasdair MacIntyre’s moral approach is ranked among the very important formulations in contemporary philosophical ethics. Yet, MacIntyre and his commentators have overlooked basic requirements of teleological ethical theories (end- or goal-oriented ethical theories). In the article, we will see just where MacIntyre has erred in constructing his Aristotelian-Thomist teleological moral approach, the most fundamental error being his failure to pursue and develop ultimate ends. MacIntyre’s moral approach, which heroically attempts to combine basic ancient and medieval foundational elements while assigning social practices a prominent role in shaping moral thinking, fails to provide a determinate teleological justificatory foundation.
