In his recent monograph, , Jure Vidmar offers 'a new theory of statehood' that consolidates his existing work and departs in important ways from legal orthodoxy. As a work of doctrinal law, the text is rigorous; however, its theoretical contribution is somewhat unclear. Vidmar's central theoretical claim-that the status of individual states is established by discrete norms of customary international law-adds very little to his doctrinal argument. By examining his position, this review article examines what it might mean to provide helpful 'theories of statehood'. It begins by framing the theoretical challenge posed by such work before setting out some desiderata for theoretical success in this area. Finally, it sketches out a general approach, grounded in Hannah Arendt's conception of power, which offers a promising means for moving beyond doctrinal description within 'reconstructive' international legal theory.

In response to the growing demand of reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions within maritime sector, Onboard Carbon Capture and Storage (OCCS) technologies provide as key solutions for tackling carbon dioxide (CO) emissions from ships. This review paper offers a comprehensive overview of recent developments, challenges, and prospects of Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) technologies considering specifically for onboard ship applications. Various Carbon Capture (CC) methods, ranging from post-combustion and pre-combustion capture to oxy-fuel combustion, are critically analysed concerning their operating principles, advantages, disadvantages and applicability in the maritime context.

The triple network model consists of three brain networks that jointly regulate cognitive and emotional processes and is considered to be the core network underlying the aberrant manifestations of ASD. This study investigated whether a mini-basketball training program (MBTP) could alter repetitive behaviors and the dynamic connectivity of the triple network.

Mosquito-transmitted viruses such as dengue are a global and growing public health challenge. Without widely available vaccines, mosquito control is the primary tool for fighting the spread of these viruses. New mosquito control technologies are needed to complement existing methods, given current challenges with scalability, acceptability, and effectiveness.

We detail the REACH radiometric system designed to enable measurements of the 21-cm neutral hydrogen line. Included is the radiometer architecture and end-to-end system simulations as well as a discussion of the challenges intrinsic to highly-calibratable system development. Following this, we share laboratory results based on the calculation of noise wave parameters utilising an over-constrained least squares approach.

Remote research studies are an invaluable tool for reaching populations with limited access to large medical centers or universities. To expand the remote study toolkit, we previously developed homeRNA, which allows for at-home self-collection and stabilization of blood and demonstrated the feasibility of using homeRNA in high temperature climates. Here, we expand upon this work through a systematic study exploring the effects of high temperature on RNA integrity (represented as RNA Integrity Number, RIN) through in-lab and field experiments.
