Can Green Energy Finance and Eco‐Friendly Taxes Cap Global Warming to 2 Degrees and 1.5 Degrees Celsius Above Pre‐Industrial Levels? Uncovering the Synergistic Power of Rule of Law

World Affairs, Volume 189, Issue 4, Winter 2026.
ABSTRACT Anchored on the sustainable development goals (SDGs) and the Paris Agreement, which seek to limit the global average temperature to well below 2°C above pre‐industrial levels and pursue efforts to limit the temperature to 1.5°C, this study investigates how green energy finance and environmental taxes affect environmental quality, with an ...

Trust in the Machine? Practitioner Perspectives on the Role of AI in Online Content Moderation

Policy &Internet, Volume 18, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT The scale and volume of user‐generated content produced in the Web 2.0 era have led to content moderation becoming an essential aspect of most online platforms' business models. This form of digital labour is often performed by human content moderators (CMs) in the Global South, however, artificial intelligence (AI) technology has increasingly

Scaling from microsite to landscape to resolve litter decomposition dynamics in globally extensive drylands

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 9, Page 2726-2736, September 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Decomposition is the transformation of dead organic matter into its inorganic constituents. In most biomes, decomposition rates can be accurately predicted with simple mathematical models, but these models have long under‐predicted decomposition in globally extensive ...

Ultrasound‐Driven Dual Piezocatalytic–Electrical Scaffold Synergistically Promotes Osteoporotic Bone Healing

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT The regeneration of osteoporotic bone defects is severely hampered by compromised endogenous healing capacity, demanding advanced strategies that actively orchestrate pro‐osteogenic microenvironments. Here, we report an integrated, self‐powered osteo‐regenerative system that uniquely leverages a dual ultrasound‐responsive piezoelectric ...

Interface‐Stabilized Glass‐Ceramic/Silver Composite Coatings Enable Predictable Multiband Infrared Stealth Under High‐Temperature Marine Environment

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Infrared (IR) stealth is crucial for improving the survivability of equipment. The growing demand for service in marine environments poses new challenges to the composition and structural design of existing IR stealth coatings. This study first investigates the effects of NaCl/water vapor corrosion on the IR stealth performance of GH3536 and a

Farm‐Scale Recharge Pits for Improving Local Groundwater Availability: Insights From a Hardrock Watershed in Rajasthan, India

World Water Policy, Volume 12, Issue 3, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Groundwater depletion is a major challenge in semiarid, hard‐rock regions where irrigation demands often exceed natural recharge. This study evaluates the effectiveness of farm‐scale recharge pits as a local, supplementary, and community‐managed groundwater recharge solution in the Dharta catchment of Rajasthan, India. Alongside check dams and

Organ‐specific ozone and nitrogen legacies strengthen substrate control over litter decomposition

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 8, Page 2548-2559, August 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Elevated tropospheric ozone (O3) and nitrogen (N) deposition are concurrent atmospheric changes that strongly influence terrestrial carbon cycling, yet their combined effects on below‐ground decomposition remain poorly understood.

How Do I Measure up? Social Influence and L2 Motivation in the Algorithmic Age

International Journal of Applied Linguistics, Volume 36, Issue 3, Page 1963-1974, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Comparative thinking is a fundamental human drive and a hallmark of contemporary life. For social action, such as the learning and use of additional languages, a target for appraisal (an L2 attribute) is evaluated in relation to a comparison standard (an appraiser's standpoint).

淮河海河流域生境质量与景观格局的耦合关系及驱动因素

Shuitu Baochi Xuebao
目的探究淮河流域和海河流域生境质量与景观格局的响应状况、区域差异及其影响因素，为流域的生态差异性保护策略提供理论支撑与科学决策依据。方法选取2003—2023年5期土地利用数据，基于InVEST模型对流域生境质量评估，计算景观格局指数，利用双变量空间自相关法分析二者响应关系与流域间差异，探究自然地理要素对生境质量空间分异的解释能力。结果1）淮河（-20 394.68 km2）、海河流域（-13 783.16 km2）的耕地面积大幅缩减，林地、水域、建设用地面积均增加 ...
