Plant‐Based Diet and Sleep Quality in Adults: Exploring the Role of Lifestyle and Health Mediators

Nutrition Bulletin, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigated the association between plant‐based dietary indices (PDI) and sleep quality and examined the mediating roles of lifestyle and health‐related factors. A total of 5260 participants (18–65 years) were included. Sleep quality was assessed using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). PDI—including overall (oPDI), healthy

Making space for living and livelihoods in Vietnam: The everyday politics of peri‐urban land use

Singapore Journal of Tropical Geography, EarlyView.
Preserving agricultural land for rice cultivation in Vietnam is a national priority. Yet in many areas, farmers continue to repurpose rice land for non‐agricultural uses in violation of state regulations. Drawing on the conceptual framework of ‘everyday politics’ (EP), this paper examines this tension through research conducted in two peri‐urban ...
