Qualitative Assessment of One Health Operationalization at the Central Level and in Two Border Districts of Sierra Leone

Public Health Challenges, Volume 5, Issue 3, September 2026.
Implementation of the One Health approach in Sierra Leone was stronger at the central level than in districts and communities, where coordination, surveillance, workforce capacity, and funding were limited. Strengthening integrated systems and dedicated financing is essential for effective prevention and control of zoonotic disease threats.

Delomization, or the esoteric Nechung kang so, the Dalai Lama, and exilic imaginings of a Tibetan community

Journal of Linguistic Anthropology, Volume 36, Issue 2, August 2026.
Abstract I propose the concept of delomization, the process whereby a sign comes to be understood as a symbol. I term such signs delomes. With rhematization and dicentization, delomization completes the triplet that linguistic anthropologists derive from Charles Sanders Peirce's third trichotomy.

‘SiteTool': a ‘Shiny' application for field site selection and evaluation

Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 6, June 2026.
Field studies are fundamental to ecological research, yet many studies rely on unspecified or convenience‐based methods for site selection, potentially introducing bias that can compromise research results. Remote‐sensing data provides a quantitative way to evaluate potential sites without expensive pilot visits; however, interacting with spatial data ...
