Poverty Simulations: Are the Learning Outcomes Consistently and Uniformly Positive?

Journal of Dental Education, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objectives Research indicates significant improvement in average attitudes toward those in poverty following poverty simulations, but little research addresses whether students benefit uniformly. This study measured variability in poverty attitude change following poverty simulations and tested whether poverty attitudes are associated with ...

CardiacDP: An R package for rapid automated cardiac data processing, integrating autocorrelation, a genetic algorithm, and a tracking index

Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract Heart rate is a popular proxy of physiological responses, but the highly complex and variable cardiac data obtained from organisms such as marine invertebrates pose a major challenge to efficient and accurate data processing. To address this, we developed a novel, integrative algorithm for rapid and automated cardiac data processing.

The importance of wild meat and freshwater fish for children's nutritional intake in the Congo Basin

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Wild meat and freshwater fish are widely consumed in the Congo Basin, but in some areas, they are at risk of disappearing due to unsustainable hunting and fishing and changes in their habitat. Wild meat is also at risk of being eliminated from local diets due to potential policy changes such as wild meat bans.

Hunger games search algorithm based on stochastic individual information for engineering design optimization problems

Journal of Computational Design and Engineering
Abstract The hunger games search algorithm (HGS) is a newly proposed metaheuristic algorithm that emulates hunger-driven foraging behaviors in a population. It combines fitness values to determine individual weights and updates them based on fitness value size, resulting in high adaptability and effective optimization. However, HGS faces

More than proteins for empty stomachs: Wild meat in the BaTonga food system

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Our paper highlights the limitations of the framework used by many conservation‐focused programmes that incorporate food security objectives. This framework encourages the substitution of wild proteins with domestic proteins by promoting animal farming in communities located near conservation areas.

Patterns of wild meat and other protein consumption in the periphery of Salonga National Park, Democratic Republic of the Congo

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract In Central Africa, human activities are severely impacting terrestrial and aquatic wildlife, threatening the food security of millions of people. Accordingly, sustainable use of wildlife is crucial for the nutrition and livelihoods of many rural communities in the region.

Digital surveillance of animals and nature recovery

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Digital surveillance technologies (DSTs) are widely applied in nature recovery for their potential to generate novel data on species and ecosystems through digital tracking, automation (e.g. from hazardous locations) and from newly recruited citizen scientists.

A review of blue carbon credit projects' socio‐economic activities

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Coastal ‘blue carbon’ ecosystems (mangroves, seagrasses and saltmarshes) are critical for climate regulation and biodiversity, yet significant funding gaps persist in marine conservation. While blue carbon credits are increasingly used to bridge these gaps, concerns remain regarding their efficacy in delivering socio‐economic benefits.
