Psychological Consequences of Environmental Degradation [PDF]

Journal of Health Psychology, 1996
Psychological aspects of environmental degradation in Burkina Faso are studied among two groups of Sahel dwellers, namely the Mossi (agriculturalists, n = 402) and the Fulani (pastoralists, n = 160). Compared to pastoralists, agriculturalists were more stressed and marginalized, the psychological consequences of degradation studied here.

Analyzing the differences and correlations between key metabolites and dominant microorganisms in different regions of Daqu based on off-target metabolomics and high-throughput sequencing

Heliyon
Daqu is usually produced in an open environment, which makes its quality unstable. The microbial community of Daqu largely determines its quality. Therefore, in order to improve the fermentation characteristics of Daqu, samples were collected from Jinsha

Altered litter chemistry under pollution predicts fungal-mediated decomposition decline in a subtropical forest

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety
Ecological risk assessments typically prioritize direct toxicity, often overlooking indirect cascades that reshape ecosystem function. By incubating field-collected litter in a standardized, metal-free environment, we assessed the integrated 'litter ...

Reciprocal control of viral infection and phosphoinositide dynamics

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Phosphoinositides, although scarce, regulate key cellular processes, including membrane dynamics and signaling. Viruses exploit these lipids to support their entry, replication, assembly, and egress. The central role of phosphoinositides in infection highlights phosphoinositide metabolism as a promising antiviral target.
