In collision-poor space plasmas, protons with an excess of kinetic energy or temperature in the direction perpendicular to background magnetic field can excite electromagnetic ion cyclotron (EMIC) instability. This instability is expected be highly sensitive suprathermal protons, which enhance high-energy tails observed velocity distributions and are well reproduced by (bi-)Kappa distribution f...

This inquiry explores indigenous archaeology as a form of resistance to dominant Western science. Literature was identified and analyzed pertaining to the success of indigenous archaeology in the United States, British Columbia, and Australia. It is argued that a more inclusive archaeology is necessary, one that encourages partnerships with Indigenous groups in the interpretation of their own p...

The consumer ethnocentrism concept and its measure, the CETSCALE, remain very popular in cross-national research chiefly because they serve as a means to understand consumer attitudes toward imports. But the usage of consumer ethnocentrism and its measure are based on the premise that they have universal or etic properties. Conflicting studies, however, find that the scale’s structure is far mo...
