This issue of Leadership marks our first full year as Co-Editors-in-Chief. As we highlighted in our introductory editorial (Edwards and Schedlitzki, 2023) we see our role as striving to develop the community of the journal in its endeavour to be a key, critical and contemporary voice for leadership studies. To continue this journey, and to help contributors frame and develop their work for submiss

Depositional practices have been regarded as a part of a Neolithic lifestyle together with farming and keeping livestock. As an ongoing discussion shows, however, it is not entirely clear how we should understand these practices. The categorization of Neolithic pits still raises questions and leaves some issues unresolved, especially as the categorization often leads to the use of dichotomies, and

This paper will focus on a sense of place in prehistory. The chapter argues for the importance of the sensuous experiences of places, and in this case natural places, in the creation of memory and shared conceptions of place and landscape. Natural places played important roles in the process of creating the societal order in prehistory and in this respect can be considered similar to monuments in

This article places Woolf’s Night and Day (1919) in the context of the Edwardian free-union novel—works that represent and debate monogamous relationships without legal recognition. In seeking alternatives to marriage, this genre explored what modernity might mean for young, middle-class women. Typically, the narratives’ protagonists ultimately abandon the idea of the free union, the novels often

Field archaeology entails everything archaeologists do outside of the office; however, when scrutinizing the concept of the field in field archaeology, it is a rather complex issue. A short history of archaeological fieldwork shows that social factors influenced knowledge production in the field and still do today. An account of the archaeological process, concerning both commercial and research p

The concept of intentions is often taken for granted in the cognitive and neural sciences, and comparing outcomes with internal goals is seen as critical for our sense of agency. We created an experiment where participants decided which face they preferred, and we either created outcome errors by covertly switching the position of the chosen face or induced motor errors by deviating the mouse curs

A Virtual Reality (VR) experiment with 60 participants was carried out to investigate the effect of signage on the compliance with its indicated direction in case of evacuation. Participants experienced a VR underground square scenario including different signage configurations. Variables linked to the signage placement/type were investigated, namely (1) the installation position, i.e., proximity

Since the start of 2022, 100 million people worldwide have been forced to flee their homes and seek refuge in distant countries. This number reflects the increased displacement within Europe following the invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 but also highlights the ongoing nature of forced migration as people from across the world need to seek asylum and refugee often moving across perilous land a

Fire smoke is one of the most important factors causing casualties, but also has the potential to bring some harm to the surrounding environment. In this work, the longitudinal temperature profile and the pollutant toxicity of a ceiling jet induced by a wall-attached fire with different tunnel slopes, were numerically and experimentally investigated by using a 1:8 reduced-scale inclined tunnel. Th

Luminescence properties of undoped Li6Y(BO3)3 (LYB) crystals grown by the Bridgman method as well as undoped and praseodymium doped LYB crystals grown by the Czochralski method were studied under excitation by ultraviolet light, synchrotron radiation and electron beam in the temperature region of 5–300 K. The emission bands peaking at 4.8, 3.76 and 2.95 eV were found in undoped Czochralski-grown c
