Regional Sustainable Economic Development in the Caribbean? A Discursive Inquiry

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Caribbean region is governed by several regional bodies. Among the more important organizations for small island states, where coral reefs and ocean conservation are paramount, is the Caribbean Community (CARICOM). Currently, the region is going through critical environmental changes that bring important vulnerabilities.

Mainstreaming Sustainability and Climate Change Across Higher Education: Lessons From Ten Pioneering Universities

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Higher education institutions (HEIs) play a critical role in preparing graduates to address the interconnected global crises of the 21st century. Despite explicit calls from UNESCO's Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) framework (SDG 4 on quality education) and the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change's (UNFCCC) Action

Topology‐Encoded Charge Polarity Governs Multiphase Organization in Intrinsically Disordered Protein Polymer Condensates

open access: yesSmall, EarlyView.
Electrostatic topology is shown to program phase separation and internal organization in thermoresponsive intrinsically disordered protein polymer (IDPP) condensates. By comparing oppositely charged IDPPs with a covalent diblock, chain connectivity is revealed to control charge compensation, dense‐phase micropolarity, miscibility, and apparent acid ...

Design, synthesis and activity evaluation of tetrahydroisoquinoline‐based programmed cell death ligand 1 inhibitors

open access: yesSmart Molecules, EarlyView.
Based on a 3D‐quantitative structure‐activity relationship pharmacophore model, structural optimization of Y6 yielded Y7f. Mechanistic studies revealed that Y7f acted as a programmed death receptor 1/programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD‐L1) interaction inhibitor by inducing PD‐L1 dimerization. Y7f restored T‐cell function.

Leverage Points for Meaningful Participation: A 5‐Point Framework From a Rural South African Landscape

open access: yesSystems Research and Behavioral Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Alternative forms of natural resource management are required. Participation of local actors is necessary but not sufficient, for moving away from the conventional top‐down approaches. This paper develops a 5‐point framework for enabling meaningful participation in rural landscape governance.

Assessing the Health Impacts of Contaminants on Green Turtles (Chelonia mydas) Along the Southern Coast of Brazil

open access: yesEnvironmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Chemical pollutants pose a significant threat to marine ecosystems. Among these contaminants are trace elements and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH). Green turtles can be employed to evaluate the oceans' health due to their coastal habitats and exposure to multiple threats.

Diversity and abundance of antibiotic resistance of bacteria during the seedling period in marine fish cage-culture areas of Hainan, China

Marine Pollution Bulletin, 2019
Antibiotic resistance has become an important focus of research in the aquaculture environment. However, few studies have evaluated antibiotic resistance during the seedling period in marine fish cage-culture areas.

Spatial and temporal variation of antibiotic resistance in marine fish cage-culture area of Guangdong, China

Environmental Pollution, 2019
The rapid emergence and dissemination of antibiotic resistance poses a threat to human health and to the marine environment. We have investigated the abundance and diversity of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) and of antibiotic-resistant bacteria (ARB),

Dissolved Oxygen Variations in Marine Fish Culture Zone

Journal of Environmental Engineering, 1991
Extensive field measurements aimed at studying short-term dissolved oxygen (DO) variability have been carried out in a marine fish culture zone in Hong Kong. A dynamic oxygen budget model is developed to analyze the diurnal water-quality data from a series of 26-hr surveys.
