["British Journal of Industrial Relations, EarlyView. ", "\nABSTRACT\nDomestic violence (DV) is a widespread, gendered social issue and a workplace problem. Over the last two decades, the development of international standards, legislation and organisational provisions has aimed to tackle the impact and effects of DV in the workplace. While establishing such frameworks is a significant step towards safeguarding victims of violence at work, it is how these policies are enacted which determines their success. At the workplace level, implementation of DV policies through a gendered lens is essential to make substantive progress towards gender equality outcomes. In our article, insights from case study organisations and key informants reveal significant variation in the conceptualisation of gender in relation to DV policies in the workplace. Where key informants, including NGOs, trade unions and government agencies, emphasised a gender‐informed approach to DV and the workplace, case study organisations tempered the role of gender, adopting a largely gender‐neutral approach in policy enactment. These different approaches are significant for policy implementation, which is both inclusive, particularly of LGBT+ relationships, and contributes to gender equality outcomes.\n"]

["European Journal of Education, Volume 61, Issue 2, June 2026. ", "\nABSTRACT\nClassroom engagement has become an important issue in higher education because it is closely related to students' academic development and learning quality. However, the ways in which relational and motivational factors jointly shape classroom engagement remain underexplored. This study examined how teacher‐student rapport and basic psychological needs satisfaction were associated with classroom engagement among Chinese university students, with task value and academic resilience as mediators. Using survey data from 808 undergraduate students in China, the study employed structural equation modelling to test the proposed relationships among the variables. The results indicated that teacher‐student rapport and basic psychological needs satisfaction both had significant positive direct effects on classroom engagement. Moreover, task value and academic resilience significantly mediated the effects of teacher‐student rapport and basic psychological needs satisfaction on classroom engagement. These findings suggest that classroom engagement is influenced by classroom relationships, motivational beliefs and students' academic resilience. The study extends existing research by integrating these factors into one structural model and offers useful implications for promoting student engagement in higher education.\n"]

["European Journal of Education, Volume 61, Issue 2, June 2026. ", "\nABSTRACT\nAmid the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI), universities worldwide have increasingly prioritised science and engineering disciplines, leading to the expansion of science, technology, engineering, agriculture and medicine (STEMAM) fields while marginalising the humanities and social sciences (HSS). This imbalance risks producing technologically skilled but ethically and culturally limited academic ecosystems. This study examines how Chinese universities can balance STEMAM–HSS development within the context of AI‐driven transformation and socialist modernisation. Drawing on Marxist human development theory and traditional Chinese humanism, HSS is conceptualised as the “spirit and soul” of STEMAM progress, emphasising the unity of material and spiritual advancement. Methodologically, a mixed‐methods design is employed, combining a systematic literature review, comparative case studies of selected Chinese universities (Tsinghua, Peking, Fudan) and international institutions (Oxford, MIT), and Delphi‐based expert consultation. This approach develops the Dual‐Wheel Synergy Framework (DWSF), conceptualising STEMAM–HSS as interdependent systems, and highlights that sustainable university modernisation requires integrating ethics, cultural literacy, and AI through interdisciplinary policies and equitable funding. The study offers a policy‐relevant framework for achieving balanced, human‐centred higher education in China while contributing to global debates on AI and education. The study's distinctive contribution lies in the Dual‐Wheel Synergy Framework (DWSF), which conceptualises STEMAM–HSS as interdependent systems, offering a novel Marxist–Humanist alternative to prevailing technocratic models of higher education where AI‐driven learning environments refer to systems that use artificial intelligence technologies to personalise instruction, automate assessment and enhance learning outcomes.\n"]

["The Economic History Review, EarlyView. ", "\nAbstract\nHousework is central to feminist calls for recognition of women's work, economic histories explaining the sexual division of labour, and claims regarding the progressive role of scientific knowledge. Yet little is known about the time it actually took. We address this lacuna. We utilize British sources and find a substantial increase in the hours ordinary women spent on domestic labour between the late‐eighteenth and the mid‐twentieth centuries. We note the changing imperatives of state involvement and industrial development and explore how the additional domestic labour served the interests of state and employers as well as those of husbands and children.\n"]

["Asian Economic Policy Review, EarlyView. ", "\nABSTRACT\nThe North–South Commuter Rail (NSCR) will dramatically alter the transport network for the most economically vibrant regions in the Philippines. This paper develops a spatial computable general equilibrium model to consider how this infrastructure will change the economic opportunities in the rail catchment area of about 10,000 km2. Calibrated on the state of the economy in 2020, the results suggest that by itself, the NSCR has limited economic impact compared to the baseline by 2040. The NSCR’s substantial potential to spur growth can only be realized when accompanied by land market reforms that accommodate urban development even as environmentally‐sensitive areas remain protected. This increases the area’s gross value‐added by 3.7% relative to the baseline. Coupling land market reforms with policies to reduce business costs in strategic locations ensures that the rail has the greatest impact, however the marginal benefit of each industrial cluster is influenced by the strength of agglomeration economies.\nJEL Classification: O2, R1, R3\n"]

["International Journal of Management Reviews, EarlyView. ", "\nAbstract\nScholars are increasingly studying paradox processes, yet insights remain disconnected, with limited discussion across studies’ perspectives. Consequently, research risks underutilizing valuable findings, thereby reducing both theoretical and practical progress. To address this gap, we review empirical process studies of organizational paradoxes published in leading management and organization journals. We develop a framework that explains how time horizons (short, medium and long), process styles (sequential, cyclical and entangled) and temporality shape what becomes visible about organizational paradoxes, drawing implications across microscopic, mesoscopic and panoramic perspectives. Our analysis shows how different process‐temporal configurations reveal distinct dynamics, from micro‐trajectories to historical sedimentation and reactivation. We identify the strengths and limitations of short‐, medium‐ and long‐term studies, as well as cross‐horizon mechanisms for understanding paradox processes. Based on these insights, we draw implications to advance paradox theory and propose a research agenda. We argue that this agenda can guide cumulative theorizing about core paradox constructs and strengthen links between paradox and process scholarship.\n"]

["Canadian Journal of Administrative Sciences / Revue Canadienne des Sciences de l'Administration, Volume 43, Issue 2, June 2026. ", "\nABSTRACT\nCommercial markets are institutional environments that shape which products are available and how value is signalled to and perceived by consumers. This study examines how such environments shape Indigenous participation in market exchanges, using Traditional Foods (TFs) in grocery retail as an empirical case. Using loyalty card data from 244 grocery stores in Quebec (2015–2016), we first assessed TF availability and found that only 34.5% of reference TF items appeared in retail assortments, with representation concentrated in categories compatible with conventional supply chains and no products supplied by Indigenous enterprises. We then estimated TF demand using two‐level Tobit models, comparing First Nations and general population consumers. Results revealed no differences in baseline price sensitivity, but stronger responsiveness among First Nations consumers to local, organic and fresh product attributes, as well as promotional cues. Together, the findings revealed inequalities in Indigenous market participation reflected through selective availability and the interpretation of standardized market signals rather than differential price responsiveness. Results are discussed in terms of the possibility spaces opened for Indigenous entrepreneurs on both supply/demand sides of the food value chain to build bridges between local and industrial markets and partake in economic reconciliation at scale. Merchandizing and marketing pathways in this direction are suggested.\n"]

["The Journal of Finance, EarlyView. ", "\nABSTRACT\nUsing information in returns, we identify the stochastic process of consumption. We find that aggregate consumption reacts over multiple quarters to innovations spanned by financial markets. This persistent component accounts for over a quarter of consumption variation. These shocks command a large and significant risk premium, driving a large share of stocks' and a small yet significant fraction of bonds' time‐series variation. Nevertheless, we find no support for stochastic volatility of consumption driving time‐varying risk premia. Finally, an otherwise standard recursive utility model based on our estimated process explains equity premium and risk‐free rate puzzles with low‐risk aversion."]

["The Journal of Finance, EarlyView. ", "\nABSTRACT\nUsing granular data covering both regulated (brokerage‐financed) and unregulated (shadow‐financed) margin accounts in China, we provide novel evidence on retail investors' margin trading behavior and its price implications. We first show that retail investors' decisions to lever up in stock trading despite the hefty borrowing cost is related to their lottery preferences. We then show that margin borrowing affects investors' trading behavior—investors are more likely to liquidate their holdings as they approach margin calls. Finally, we show that margin‐induced trading aggregates to affect asset prices and contributes to shock spillovers across stocks (e.g., from lottery stocks to nonlottery stocks)."]

["Australian Accounting Review, EarlyView. ", "\nABSTRACT\nThis study examines the effect of a nature‐based corporate strategy consisting of green revenue reporting and biodiversity impact reduction on the corporate cost of capital of S&P 1500 firms. Applying a portfolio‐level regression approach for 10 890 firm‐year observations from 2015 to 2024, the study reveals that firms adopting biodiversity impact reduction alone have the lowest cost of capital. In contrast, green revenue reporting only firms face a higher capital cost. The study also documents that firms adopting both strategies achieve intermediate benefits, highlighting credibility gains when disclosure complements impact reduction. A cross‐sectional analysis reveals that the effects are more potent in high‐impact biodiversity industries. The difference‐in‐differences, dynamic event‐time analysis, and governance interactions further strengthen the robustness and validation of the results.\n"]
