Dec 19, 2019
Institutional theory’s claim to be critical rings hollow. Not only does the theory lack an emancipatory agenda but most institutional studies privilege agentic power over hegemonic. Even when engaging with ‘grand challenges’...
From Patañjali to the “Gospel of Sweat”
Movements seeking to infuse markets with moral values often end up utilizing the market mechanism and support from mainstream actors to scale up, even if it comes at the cost of diluting their founding ethos. But this process...
Genomics, Computational Biology and Drug Discovery for Mycobacterial Infections
Tuberculosis (TB) and leprosy are mycobacterial infections caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Mycobacterium leprae respectively. These diseases continue to be endemic in developing countries where the cost of new medicines...
Privatization
Privatization—defined here as the transfer of ownership of state-owned organizations to private parties—has attracted the attention of scholars across multiple fields. Privatization programs have been based on the assumption...
The role of intermediaries in governance of global production networks
This article locates the reorganization of work relations in the apparel sector in Pakistan, after the end of the Multi-Fibre Arrangement (MFA) quota regime, within the context of a global production network (GPN). We examine...
The organizational reproduction of inequality
With societal inequalities continuing to increase and organizations providing the vast majority of people with their income, we wanted to assess the ways in which organizational practices are implicated in the burgeoning of...
P(VDF-TrFE) Copolymer Dynamics as a Function of Temperature and Pressure in the Vicinity of the Curie Transition
We report on the phase behavior and the respective dynamics in random P(VDF-TrFE) copolymers using standard and temperature-modulated differential scanning calorimetry, X-ray diffraction, and a combination of temperature- and...
Magnetoelectric coupling coefficient in multiferroic capacitors
Multiferroic materials are characterized by their magnetoelectric coupling coefficient, which can be obtained using a lock-in amplifier by measuring the voltage developed across a multiferroic capacitor in a time-variable...
The impact of acetabular labral tears on sexual activity in women.
A healthy sex-life is an important component of a good quality of life. However, sexual function may be inhibited in women with acetabular labral tears because of the labrum being caught between the femoral head neck junction...

Cancer-associated fibroblasts induce antigen-specific deletion of CD8 + T Cells to protect tumour cells.
Tumours have developed strategies to interfere with most steps required for anti-tumour immune responses. Although many populations contribute to anti-tumour responses, tumour-infiltrating cytotoxic T cells dominate, hence, many...
