Strengthening women's empowerment and gender equality in fragile contexts towards peaceful and inclusive societies: A systematic review and meta‐analysis

Campbell Systematic Reviews, Volume 18, Issue 1, March 2022., 2022
Abstract Background Across the globe, gender disparities still exist with regard to equitable access to resources, participation in decision‐making processes, and gender and sexual‐based violence. This is particularly true in fragile and conflict‐affected settings, where women and girls are affected by both fragility and conflict in unique ways.

Strongly structured populations and reproductive habitat fragmentation increase the vulnerability of the Mediterranean starry ray Raja asterias (Elasmobranchii, Rajidae)

Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 32, Issue 1, Page 66-84, January 2022., 2022
Abstract The Mediterranean starry ray (Raja asterias) populations within the Mediterranean Sea are susceptible to high rates of bycatch in the multispecies trawl fisheries. Understanding its population structure and identifying critical habitats are crucial for assessing species vulnerability and setting the groundwork for specific management measures ...

Impact of Alkali and Alkali‐Earth Cations on Ni‐Catalyzed Dimerization of Butene

ChemCatChem, Volume 12, Issue 14, Page 3705-3711, July 21, 2020., 2020
Butene dimerization: The presence of alkali (Na+ or Li+) or alkali‐earth (Ca2+ or Mg2+) cations adjusting the acid‐base properties on amorphous silica‐alumina influences markedly the catalytic properties of supported Ni for 1‐butene dimerization. n‐Octene and methylheptene are formed selectively as primary products; dimethylhexene is a secondary ...

Liana communities exhibit different species composition, diversity and community structure across forest types in the Congo Basin

Biotropica, Volume 52, Issue 4, Page 651-663, July 2020., 2020
Abstract Lianas are poorly characterized for central African forests. We quantify variation in liana composition, diversity and community structure in different forest types in the Yangambi Man and Biosphere Reserve, Democratic Republic of Congo. These attributes of liana assemblages were examined in 12 1‐ha plots, randomly demarcated within regrowth ...

Prediction of Dynamic Modulus of Hot Mix Asphalts with Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement

Advances in Civil Engineering, Volume 2020, Issue 1, 2020., 2020
This study evaluated the viscoelastic properties of a performance grade (PG) binder blended with different percentages of binders recovered from reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) for conditions (materials, climate, and specifications) prevailing in Oklahoma. The viscoelastic properties of the blended binders were then used to estimate dynamic modulus (E∗
