Bridging Policy and Practice ; Advancing Justice in Community Land Use Planning in Kenya
African Journal on Land Policy and Geospatial SciencesContext and background Community land rights in Kenya have endured historical and contemporary pressures since the colonial period. The imposition of English statutory tenure systems alongside African customary tenure established a dualistic ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.A versatile framework integrates addressable electrothermal actuation and strain‐constraint mechanisms to construct programmable shape‐morphing soft matter systems. By combining an analytical inverse design strategy for high‐fidelity 3D surface reconstruction with deep learning‐based closed‐loop control, this approach enables zero‐energy shape locking,

What Drives the Global Land Rush? [PDF]
This paper studies the determinants of foreign land acquisition for large-scale agriculture. To do so, gravity models are estimated using data on bilateral investment relationships, together with newly constructed indicators of agro-ecological ...

ASSESSMENT OF URBAN LAND GOVERNANCE FOR SUSTAINABLE GOVERNANCE IN ETHIOPIA
African Journal on Land Policy and Geospatial Sciences, 2023 Context and background Land governance promotes efficient and effective land policy administration. In Ethiopia cities, as in many Sub-Saharan African cities, many land governance challenges such as informal construction of houses and land holding, lack ...

Physics‐Guided Descriptors Enable Data‐Efficient Prediction of Battery Coulombic Efficiency
Advanced Science, EarlyView.This work integrates multiscale simulations with data‐driven approaches to predict Coulombic efficiency (CE). Multiscale simulations of battery systems are performed to extract Physics‐Guided descriptors and construct a dataset. Machine learning models trained on this dataset are then subjected to interpretable analysis to identify the most influential

Advanced Science, EarlyView.This work presents an origami metamaterial that integrates a low‐melting‐point alloy skeleton into an elastomeric shell. It dissipates energy through the metal's plastic deformation and recovers through the solid–liquid phase transition of the alloy together with the hyperelasticity of the shell.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.Furrow tillage resolves the conventional‐vs.‐no‐tillage trade‐off by simultaneously cutting CO2 efflux to 2.0–3.0 g C m−2 d−1 and unlocking high nutrient availability for the rice rhizosphere. This scalable agronomic solution strengthens soil health, enhances plant physiology, reshapes microbial metabolism, and shifts paddy systems toward a net ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.A flexible PDMS‐LATP polymer‐ceramic membrane creates lithium‐ion “superhighways” for rapid and selective extraction from complex brines. The amorphous PDMS matrix suppresses nonselective leakage and stabilizes the ceramic network, while LATP provides preferential Li+ conduction.

Urban governance and planning for Economic growth [PDF]
Governance in short is a shift from bureaucratic process to shared power for the people. Governance in the urban areas goes hand in hand with planning. Issues of governance cannot be dealt with completely without proper planning. However, planning in the
