SAFETY CULTURE OF ECOSYSTEM SERVICES

Humanities and Social Sciences quarterly
In this article, an attempt is made to indicate the role and importance of ecosystem services as advantages that are provided to us by the environment. The authors demonstrate selected concepts of ecosystem services and their classification, but only to introduce the reader to pilot studies of the urban ecosystem. The present article aims to define the

An empirical review of cultural ecosystem service indicators

Ecological Indicators, 2013
Abstract Over millennia human well-being has benefited from ecosystems, not only through tangible goods, but also through intangible assets known as cultural ecosystem services. Despite growing research over the last decade, cultural services assessment still remains arbitrary and is largely limited to marketable services such as tourism.

Smart Sampling Capsule for Capture and Detection of Enteric Pathogens in the Small Intestine

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
An ingestible smart sampling capsule for capturing asymptomatic enteric pathogens at their primary sites of interaction within the small intestine. This capability enables non‐invasive detection of early pathogen colonization within the gut environment prior to fecal shedding, providing a robust approach for pathogen surveillance and microbiome studies.

Calculating Cultural Ecosystem Services as part of Greenspace Management? [PDF]

JOURNAL OF INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS RESEARCH AND MARKETING, 2019
Lake related greenspace provides many benefits to residents and visitors, which often get unnoticed. The Millennium Ecosystem Assessment Project (2005) proposed the valuation of ecosystem services, defined as regulatory, provisional, ecosystem support, providing cultural services from natural resources, free of charge. The challenge here is: How can we

Polylactic Acid (PLA), Polycaprolactone (PCL), and Chitosan: the Biodegradable Transition in Medical Waste Management

Advanced Sustainable Systems, EarlyView.
The shift to biodegradable materials in healthcare promises reduced plastic pollution, but their production, adoption, and long‐term impacts remain complex. Integrating lifecycle insights with global policy coordination is essential for meaningful environmental gains. Abstract The COVID‐19 pandemic sharply increased medical waste, intensifying concerns

Microbial Community Succession Sustains Fish Diversity in the Upper Yangtze River Reserve

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Critical for river ecosystem sustainability, fish diversity relates to multitrophic microbes. This upper Yangtze FNNR study used eDNA to examine microbial succession‐fish links, finding key drivers, distinct assembly processes, and that microbial cross‐trophic interactions benefit fish, offering conservation insights.
