Nutritional and Phytochemical Potential of Two Local Food Plants in Burkina Faso: Crateva adansonii and Capparis corymbosa

open access: yesFood Science &Nutrition, Volume 13, Issue 12, December 2025.
C. corymbosa and C. adansonii contain many nutrients and secondary metabolites and antioxidants. These activities were evaluated by standard methods. These metabolites are a factor in the fight against various diseases. ABSTRACT This study focused on the biochemical and nutritional characterization of two edible plant species in Burkina Faso: Capparis ...

State‐Specific Extraction of Environmental DNA: Spike‐and‐Recovery Controls to Validate and Optimise Extraction Protocols

open access: yesEnvironmental Microbiology, Volume 27, Issue 12, December 2025.
Spike‐and‐recovery controls accounting for different DNA states and bacterial origins were used to validate and optimise protocols for the state‐specific extraction of environmental DNA from compost, sediment, sludge and soil samples. Despite environment‐specific differences, the recovery of spike‐ins was mainly determined by the selected extraction ...

Percent‐Level Copper Mineralisation Promoted by Copper‐Tolerant Iron‐Oxidising Bacteria in Circumneutral Mine Drainage

open access: yesEnvironmental Microbiology, Volume 27, Issue 12, December 2025.
A neutrophilic Fe(II)‐oxidizing Gallionellaceae was isolated from circumneutral Cu mine drainage. It mediated Fe(III) biomineralization, resulting in pronounced Cu accumulation (up to 2 wt%) within the solid precipitates. ABSTRACT Geomicrobiology of copper (Cu) and iron (Fe) in circumneutral‐pH drainage from a Japanese Cu mine was investigated, with a ...

From Rebuilding to Restoring Political Order: A New Agenda for Failed Arab States

open access: yesMiddle East Policy, Volume 32, Issue 4, Page 3-17, Winter 2025.
Abstract A new approach to rebuilding collapsed states is being trialed in the Arab world, most conspicuously by the Trump administration but with broad international support. This replaces the previous model—favoring democratic building blocks like inclusion, compromise, reconciliation, accountability, and citizenship—which is now seen as too costly ...

Encountering (im)probable wit: Religious puns in an Indonesian post‐conflict setting

open access: yesThe Australian Journal of Anthropology, Volume 36, Issue 3, Page 556-571, December 2025.
Abstract This paper analyses religion‐related humour in the post‐conflict setting of the Moluccas, Indonesia, which were haunted by interreligious violence in the late 1990s and early 2000s. It is concerned with religious puns told among Hadhramis, Indonesians of Arab descent, whose ancestors migrated in pre‐colonial and colonial times from the ...

Style or accent?: Gendered perceptions of English among young Bahrainis

open access: yesWorld Englishes, Volume 44, Issue 4, Page 525-539, December 2025.
Abstract Although both are recognized as different speech types, an accent is generally understood as unintentional, whereas style is performative. This study argues that with increasing rates of contact in globalization between people, resources, and cultures, ‘accent’ can be reconceptualized as closely intersected with ‘style’ in Expanding Circle ...

Intercultural communication, world Englishes, and interculturality

open access: yesWorld Englishes, Volume 44, Issue 4, Page 518-524, December 2025.
Abstract Intercultural communication is a human encounter that is managed according to cultural systems, such as national identities. Although cultural systems permeate across time and space through all facets of life, intercultural communication research has a narrow empirical focus. That is, the work done by intercultural communication researchers is

Applications of QSPR and Machine Learning in Molecular Photonics

open access: yesAdvanced Optical Materials, Volume 13, Issue 33, November 25, 2025.
Quantitative structureproperty relationships (QSPR) and machine learning (ML) are transforming photochemistry by enabling pre‐synthetic screening of photoactive molecules. This review outlines advances in data‐driven discovery of optical materials and functional dyes, identifies effective descriptors and models for photophysical processes, and provides

Quantifying landscape‐level biodiversity change in an island ecosystem: a 50‐year assessment of shifts in the Hawaiian avian community

open access: yesEcography, Volume 2025, Issue 11, November 2025.
Hawaii has experienced profound declines in native avifauna alongside the introduction of numerous bird species. While site‐specific population studies are common, landscape‐level analyses of avian population dynamics are rare, particularly in island ecosystems. To address this gap, we used a density surface model to create a spatio‐temporal projection

‘Alawi Muslims in Argentina: religious and political identity in the diaspora

open access: yesContemporary Islam, 2017
This article examines contemporary aspects of the identity construction of the ‘Alawi diaspora in Argentina. In the local context, the preservation of ‘Alawi singularity has so far been a key element in the group’s identity. The strategies for integration as legitimate Muslims in the wider Islam and the closeness to Shi’ism are relatively independent ...
