Concrete in architecture: Redefining form, space, function, and insights from bibliometric analysis

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Concrete has become a cornerstone in architectural and engineering innovation, as it seamlessly integrates structural performance with artistic expression. Its evolution from ancient opus caementicium to contemporary ultra‐high‐performance concrete illustrates its adaptability to the change in technological, environmental, and design paradigms.

Beyond Bloodlines: A Review of Succession Planning and Generational Continuity in African Family Businesses

Thunderbird International Business Review, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study presents a systematic review of 107 peer‐reviewed articles on succession planning in African family businesses, offering a conceptual reframing of succession as an institutionally embedded process rather than a discrete managerial task. Moving beyond proceduralist and Eurocentric paradigms, the review integrates institutional theory,

Mallard response to experimental human disturbance on sanctuary areas is mediated by hunting

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Wildlife managers often provide spatial sanctuaries for wildlife to escape both lethal (e.g. hunting) and non‐lethal (e.g. non‐consumptive recreation) human disturbance. However, as societal interest in outdoor recreation continues to climb, many areas face added pressure to allow recreation, yet studies increasingly demonstrate negative effects of ...

A high‐altitude thermal infrared method for estimating moose abundance and demography in Rocky Mountain National Park, USA

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Resource managers require accurate estimates of large herbivore abundance and demography to maintain ecological integrity. Common methods to count these species, including observations from low altitude helicopter flights, may conflict with other protected area management objectives and struggle to produce precise estimates for more cryptic species. To

Decades ago, the Himalayan wolf Canis lupus chanco, a genetically distinct sub‐species of the gray wolf Canis lupus, faced persecution by local communities in the Nepalese Himalayas. Recently, wolf populations have returned and recolonized, sparking concerns about conflicts over livestock depredation, and emphasizing the urgent need for comprehensive ...
