Remaking place relations for social‐ecological restoration: Reflections on placemaking in South Africa

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Ecological restoration is an ongoing relational process involving interconnected reciprocal social and biophysical interactions that shift and change over time and space. Conceptual literature proposes that placemaking can deepen and enhance the understanding and implementation of social‐ecological restoration processes as part of broader ...

Network based approach identifies miR‐145‐3p as a central regulatory hub associated to the progression from localized to metastatic medullary thyroid carcinoma

The Journal of Pathology, EarlyView.
Abstract Medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) is a neuroendocrine tumor originating from calcitonin producing C‐cells and accounts for 1–5% of thyroid cancers. Total thyroidectomy is curative in localized disease (N0), whereas lymph node metastases (N1) are associated with poorer prognosis.

Biosurfactant production by Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolated from mining waste: From genomic analysis to development of a polymeric composite for removal of hexavalent chromium

Polymer International, EarlyView.
Biosurfactant was produced by Pseudomonas aeruginosa using andiroba waste from Amazonia. A biosurfactant–alginate composite (Alg/BioS) was successfully synthesized via ionotropic gelation, and achieved up to 70% Cr6+ removal from water. Abstract Environmental contamination by heavy metals represents a significant challenge due to their persistence in ...

From settler gardens to digital naturalists: human aesthetic preferences and land use changes facilitate the biogeographical expansion of a wild plant–virus interaction

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Anthropogenic facilitation of wild plants based on aesthetic preferences for particular traits can change the biogeography and ecology of natural communities. We use a mixed‐methods socioecological approach to characterize the ways in which humans interact with a common, widely distributed plant and a generalist viral symbiont that induces an ...

Detection of Molecular High Explosives in Post‐detonation Residue: Environmental Persistence of Days to Months

Propellants, Explosives, Pyrotechnics, EarlyView.
Atmospheric flow tubemass spectrometry detects trace RDX residue in soil and dust collected days to months after large explosive detonations. Post‐detonation soil samples contain detectable RDX aligned with prevailing wind direction and generally decreasing over weeks, while dust and soil samples still show picogram‐level RDX months later, providing ...

Indoor UAV for Nuclear Investigation: Experimental Qualification and Field Feedback

Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Indoor Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) have recently gained interest for inspection and investigation tasks in hazardous environments. In the nuclear field, indoor UAVs offer promising capabilities to reduce workers' exposure to ionizing radiation while accessing confined or elevated areas.

Competition Policy and Achieving Sustainable Development Goal 1 (No Poverty): The Role of Mergers and Acquisitions Adjudications in South Africa

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT South Africa faces persistently high poverty and inequality alongside a highly concentrated economic structure, raising questions about whether merger control, especially public‐interest provisions, can contribute to poverty reduction. However, empirical evidence directly linking merger adjudication outcomes to poverty remains limited.

Supporting Sustainability Through Pensions: The Sustainability Preferences of Pension Beneficiaries in the United Kingdom Defined Contributions Pension Schemes

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Pension funds are the largest combined institutional investors in the world. The integration of ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) criteria into defined contribution (DC) pension investments by pension funds can result in sustainable pensions that are in line with pension beneficiary preferences and help achieve Sustainable Development
