Divergent dynamics of surface water patterns and structures in Europe's coastal-zone basins

open access: yesEcological Informatics
Surface water bodies are essential components of terrestrial ecosystems and play critical roles in sustainable development. Coastal-zone basins (CZBs), shaped by human activity and land–sea interactions, have undergone rapid urban expansion, landscape ...

Engineered Identity: Albanian Nationalism and the Limits of Established Nationalism Theories

open access: yesNations and Nationalism, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article analyses the development of Albanian nationalism as a test case for assessing the explanatory reach of three major approaches to the study of nationalism: modernist, constructivist and historical‐comparative. Rather than privileging a single theoretical framework, the article places these approaches in dialogue, treating them as ...

Plant endemism of the Balkan high‐mountain fens: a community‐level synthesis and their climate change perspective

open access: yesPlant Biology, EarlyView.
Balkan high‐mountain fens harbour unique endemic plant communities, with a west‐to‐east compositional gradient and local richness primarily shaped by palaeoclimate. As these fens have already experienced drier, warmer summers than at present, they may withstand climate change if actively and effectively protected. Abstract The phenomenon of Balkan high‐

Territory of Macedonia in meeting the aspirations of the Balkan states and great powers [PDF]

open access: yesBezbednosni Dijalozi, 2013
The desire of the Balkan peoples to gain their large national states will be the main cause of the Balkan wars. A Balkan war has left open burning questions that are still subject to controversy and potential producers of instability. The model of large

Global Atmospheric Circulation Reorganization Drives Contrasting Wind Regime Changes Across Hemispheric Latitudes

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 15, 16 August 2026.
Abstract Near‐surface wind regimes govern critical Earth system processes including dust mobilization, ocean mixing, and wildfire spread, yet their multi‐decadal evolution under anthropogenic forcing remains poorly constrained. Here we quantify extreme wind frequency changes (1981–2024) using ERA5‐Land reanalysis with a monthly aggregation approach ...

Beyond Tradition: An Integrated Toxicological, Ecological, and Public Health Perspective on Aristolochic Acids

open access: yesJournal of Applied Toxicology, Volume 46, Issue 8, Page 2599-2622, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Aristolochia species have long been used in traditional medicine for their presumed anti‐inflammatory, analgesic and antimicrobial properties. However, extensive toxicological and epidemiological evidence now demonstrates that these plants contain aristolochic acids (AAs) I and II, highly potent nephrotoxic, genotoxic, and carcinogenic ...

A revision of the genus Armeria (Plumbaginaceae) in peninsular Italy and Sicily through an integrative taxonomic approach

open access: yesTAXON, Volume 75, Issue 4, August 2026.
Abstract The genus Armeria in peninsular Italy has been affected by taxonomic ambiguity for more than a century due to high morphological variability. We present a comprehensive revision of peninsular Italian and Sicilian Armeria species, using an integrated taxonomic approach that combines molecular phylogeny, plant and seed morphometrics, and ...

Active Tectonics of the Eastern and Southern Alps ‐ Crustal Response to Deep Processes? A Review

open access: yesTectonics, Volume 45, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Owing to the low N‐S convergence rates between Adria and Europe, crustal deformation rates in the Alps and its forelands are low. Active tectonics are, therefore, difficult to study, especially as non‐tectonic landscape forming processes can erase or modify the tectonic surface imprint. Large‐scale and dense seismological data recently offered
