Transition metal phosphides (TMPs) have been regarded as alternative hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) catalysts owing to their comparable activity to those of noble metal-based catalysts. TMPs have been produced in various morphologies, including hollow and porous nanostructures, which are features deemed desirable for electrocatalytic materials. Templated synthesis routes are often responsible for such morphologies. This paper reviews the latest advances and existing ...

We highlight the complex and multidirectional dynamics of transnational familyhood where flows of care involve multilateral negotiations of competing interests, aspirations, and subjectivities. Drawing on the findings from a mixed-method study among migrant-sending families in the Philippines, we explore how the discourses and practices of transnational parenting are negotiated and contested from the perspective of left-behind children and proximate non-parental carers. By attending to the way 'proxy' ...

In this work, porous spinel Co3O4 nanoparticles were synthesized through solution combustion. Initially, the effect of calcination on the morphology, phase composition, and electrocatalytic behavior towards oxygen evolution reaction (OER) of the synthesized oxides was investigated. As the as-synthesized powder prepared at stoichiometric conditions (fuel-to-oxidizer ratio, ϕ = 1) and pH = 3 was calcined at 300 and 500 °C, the products became more compact and dense. XRD results showed that a subsequent heat ...

The prevailing labor migration regime in Asia is underpinned by rotating-door principles of enforced transience, where low-wage migrant labor gains admission into host nation-states based on short-term, time-limited contracts and where family reunification and permanent settlement at destination are explicitly prohibited. In this context, we ask how migrant-sending families in Southeast Asian "source" countries—Indonesia and the Philippines—sustain family life in the long-term absence of one or both ...

This paper examines how migrant wives and left-behind husbands negotiate their gendered identities across the multi-layered spatialities of homeland and host society. Using a qualitative, multi-sited approach, we analyse the mutual constitution of labour migration and transnational marriages by focusing on the transnational negotiation of intimacy between Filipino migrant wives working in Singapore and Filipino left-behind husbands living in the Philippines. First, we examine how gendered ideologies ...

By focusing on the relations of intimacy between migrant wives working in Singapore and their left-behind husbands living in the Philippines, this article investigates how transnational couples negotiate the liminalities and temporariness embedded in the experience of labour migration. Using the timescales of migration as a conceptual frame, the article analyses the mutual, if uneven, shaping of marital relationships at the micro-timescale of transnational family time and the meso-timescale of Singapore' ...

ZnO nanostructured films with tunable morphology were fabricated using hot water oxidation of etched Zn foils at 90 °C under varying solution conditions. At high pH, coarse ZnO nanostructured film, consisting of short nanorods, was produced. When the pH was lowered to about 3.8, no ZnO nanostructures were produced. On the other hand, a 1D-2D composite ZnO nanostructured film, consisting of nanorods and nanosheets, was formed by adding 0.05 to 0.20 M ZnCl2 during hot water oxidation. Increasing the ...

This article considers the ways in which information communication technologies (ICTs) are embedded in foreign domestic workers’ migration experiences in Singapore. Due to Singapore’s stringent migration regime, whereby foreign domestic workers are required to live-in with their employers, domestic workers often find their access and use of ICTs subject to a high degree of surveillance and regulation by their employers. Using Massey’s notion of power geometry, we consider how increasing reliance ...

This article examines how the mobile phone might matter in the exercise of conjugal power relations between left-behind fathers and migrant mothers in transnational Filipino families. Drawing on in-depth interviews of ten pairs of fathers and children from mother-away families, it reveals that the mobile phone provides parents avenues to both expand and hold on to their traditionally gender-differentiated roles. This means that while the technology mitigates some of the effects of migration, it ...

A racial classification regime, partly derived from colonial race categories that solidified during the British Empire, remains a key governance strategy in postcolonial Singapore, sorting citizens into the categories of Chinese, Malay, Indian or Other (CMIO). This racial grid continues to be a simplification of the actual complexity of lived identities and experiences, particularly for people of mixed descent. In this context, we explore the contemporary meanings and resonances of racial identity ...

Abstract In this work, spinel Cu x Co 3-x O 4 (x = 0.00, 0.50, 1.00, 1.50) was synthesized through a typical ethanol-assisted hydrothermal route. The effect of the incorporation of copper on the resulting morphology, structure, and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) activity of the spinel Co oxides was investigated. In general, Cu-doped samples exhibited improved OER activity associated to the reduction of electrical resistivity of the spinel due to the presence of Cu 2+ into the lattice. Further, the ...

Familial and intimate relationships at a distance are reconstituted in a multitude of ways, as the proliferation of social media and communication technologies afford the scaling up of privacy and publicness, also blurring the lines between presence and absence in transnational space. Based on a longitudinal and mixed method research on the impact of migration on Filipino left-behind young adult children (n = 28) and their carers (n = 28), we seek to examine the mediation of transnational parenting and ...

Abstract In view of heightened food security issues in COVID‐19 times, we employ a transnational lens to give bifocal attention to migrant women’s experiences during the pandemic, as they sought to secure access to food for themselves and for left‐behind children and family members in Indonesia and the Philippines. In conjunction with the classic idea of global care chains and the notion of foodwork, we propose the idea of transnational foodcare chains . This distinctly agentic, migrant, and maternal ...

The prevailing neoliberal labour migration regime in Asia is underpinned by principles of enforced transience: the overwhelming majority of migrants – particularly those seeking low-skilled, low-waged work – are admitted into host nation-states on the basis of short-term, time-bound contracts, with little or no possibility of family reunification or permanent settlement at the destination. As families go transnational, ‘family times’ become inextricably intertwined with the ‘times of migration’ ( Cwerner, ...

Summary Coral reefs directly support the well‐being of millions of people across Southeast Asia, however, these critical ecosystems are also under immense pressure, threatening their sustainability. Coral reef restoration has emerged as a promising strategy to contribute to safeguarding these critical ecosystems and securing the socioeconomic benefits they provide to local communities across the region. In this paper, we present the outcomes of a week‐long of deliberations between policymakers, ...

Obesity is endemic to many developed countries. Overweight or obesity is associated with an increased risk of developing cancer. Dysfunctional adipose tissue alters cancer cell proliferation and migration; however, whether and how neoplastic epithelial cells communicate with adipose tissue and the underlying mechanism are less clear. BTG3 is a member of the anti-proliferative BTG/Tob family and functions as a tumor suppressor. Here, we demonstrated that BTG3 levels are downregulated in basal cell ...

Abstract Early migration scholarship on the transnational family has tended to portray stay-behind children as passive recipients of care and helpless victims of transnational migration. Despite the increasing sophistication of the literature highlighting children's active roles, empirical studies on transnational families focusing on understanding children's changing agency through time are still limited. We aim to fill this lacuna by offering a longitudinal perspective on children's changing agency ...

COVID-19 not only increased food insecurity across the globe but has also given rise to pandemic-induced "biopedagogies," a concept premised on conflating health with instructions on the "bios," including how to live healthily, what to eat, and how much. Based on 24 qualitative interviews with low-waged migrant domestic workers (MDWs) in Singapore hailing from Myanmar, we explore how migrant women articulate and develop their own biopedagogical practices under pandemic-constrained circumstances.
