Assembling authority to govern for nature: Nature tech coming to save nature-based solutions? (2025)
Journal Article
Fransen, A., & Bulkeley, H. (online). Assembling authority to govern for nature: Nature tech coming to save nature-based solutions?. Environment and Planning E: Nature and Space, https://doi.org/10.1177/25148486251343801

As governments, businesses, investors and civil society increasingly turn to ‘Nature-Based Solutions’ (NBS) as central means to govern the intertwined crises of biodiversity loss and climate change, a particular form of expertise is jostling for atte...

Speaking Stata: Nine notes on dealing with dates and times (2025)
Journal Article
Cox, N. J. (2025). Speaking Stata: Nine notes on dealing with dates and times. The Stata Journal, 25(2), 471-483. https://doi.org/10.1177/1536867X251341416

This is an informal overview of several key points in dealing with date and time data in Stata. Dates and times in Stata are integers with specified units. Years are usually easy to handle. Otherwise, dates in Stata have origin at the beginning of 19... Read More about Speaking Stata: Nine notes on dealing with dates and times.

Reconceptualising the Cyclical Process in Participatory Action Research: A Focus on the Individual-Collective Dynamics (2025)
Journal Article
Noone, C., & Kong, S.-T. (2025). Reconceptualising the Cyclical Process in Participatory Action Research: A Focus on the Individual-Collective Dynamics. International Journal of Qualitative Methods, 24, https://doi.org/10.1177/16094069251346262

This article proposes a new multi-helix model for Participatory Action Research (PAR) to capture the individual-collective dynamics in the cyclical process. By offering a critique of Lewin’s traditional action-reflection cycle, we outline the dangers...

Sensing-Communication-Computing-Control Closed-Loop Optimization for 6G Digital Twin-Empowered Unmanned Robotic Systems (2025)
Journal Article
Fang, X., Lei, C., Feng, W., Chen, Y., Xiao, M., Ge, N., & Wang, C. X. (online). Sensing-Communication-Computing-Control Closed-Loop Optimization for 6G Digital Twin-Empowered Unmanned Robotic Systems. IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications, https://doi.org/10.1109/JSAC.2025.3574601

In recent decades, cyber-physical systems (CPSs) have received great attention due to their broad applications. This paper investigates CPS deployment in remote areas, specifically focusing on a digital twin-empowered unmanned robotic system. The sys...
