By applying the concept of liminality to three historical crime novels set in Bombay, this article argues that Parsi identity is characterized not by a stable belonging but by an ongoing, unsettled state of "in-betweenness" that evolves from colonial intermediacy to postcolonial uncertainty across different historical moments.
This population-based extended twin study reveals that parental emotion socialization is moderately heritable and primarily shaped by unique environmental factors rather than shared family background, while genetic and individual experiences drive the intergenerational transmission of these parenting practices.
This paper employs a translation-based analysis of Perumal Murugan's trilogy to examine how trauma, silence, and survival are shaped by cultural, social, and gendered contexts, and how translation functions as a vital medium for conveying these fragmented experiences and preserving the voices of marginalized groups.
This paper argues that the rise of risk-based AI governance, driven by constitutional obligations rather than trade protectionism, creates a "constitutional neutrality deficit" within the WTO, necessitating a new doctrinal framework to reconcile trade neutrality with member states' sovereign duties to regulate algorithms based on fundamental rights.
This research introduces "Smallness" as a distinct motivational orientation, separate from awe, which drives individuals to feel less significant and consistently fosters prosocial behaviors like increased cooperation and reduced competition.
This paper introduces the concept of "biographical futurity" to argue that effective medical care should prioritize preserving a patient's capacity to form and choose meaningful life projects over merely extending biological survival, drawing on philosophical frameworks to redefine autonomy in the context of radical illness.
Using longitudinal data from the China Family Panel Studies, this paper finds that China's Double Reduction policy was associated with a modest reduction in adolescent depressive symptoms and a reallocation of time toward restorative activities and sleep, although the conservative comparison group and confounding factors preclude definitive causal claims.
This conceptual article introduces TRACE, a claim-centred framework designed to audit the inferential dependencies between bibliometric outputs and their substantive claims by linking theoretical framing, retrieval sensitivity, analytical output, and claim calibration to enable proportionate revisions, though its empirical reliability and usability remain to be evaluated.
This study analyzes fertility trends in 18 Pacific Island Countries and Territories from 1950 to 2023, revealing that while total fertility declined significantly, the transition was characterized by a curtailment-dominated shift where women stopped childbearing earlier and more uniformly, even as the timing of first births became increasingly delayed and heterogeneous.
This study demonstrates that relying on historical activity-transition rules for travel demand forecasting can significantly misallocate demand across purposes, as evidenced by a nationwide weakening of activity dependencies between 2009 and 2017 that led to an 8.9% underestimation of work and school-related transitions despite stable total travel volumes.
