Militarized masculinities beyond methodological nationalism : charting the multiple masculinities of an Indonesian jihadi by Duriesmith, David, Noor Huda Ismail

“…Based on fieldwork with Indonesian former foreign fighters, we make the case that feminist international relations have tended to unreflectively default to the nation when locating gender hierarchies. Exploring the multiple articulations of masculinity present in former fighters' lives, we suggest that efforts must be made to resist methodological nationalism in understanding the relationship between gender hierarchies and armed conflict. …”

Factors influencing junior managers' poor decisions in new market entry by Adela, Josephine, Chen, Lionel Yingren, Yeo, Marianna Xue Na

“…We found that firms that have made the wrong decision to enter a new market (hence resulting in poor financial performance) tend to have: • Entered the market hastily without a track record of success in prior markets; • Entered the market due to competitive pressure; • Justified their market entry decisions mostly based on competitive reasons; • Sunk in substantial R&Ds expenditures without commensurate marketing expenditures when launching new products in the new market. This study’s findings offer insights into the phenomenon of poor decision making. …”

Performance study of digital communication systems in TWDP fading by Li, Yuan

“…In this scenario, signal experiences through different paths separately to reach the destination, whose amplitude, phase and frequency would change randomly. When being added up, path components can strengthen or weaken each other, leading to the uncertain characteristic of the received signal. …”
