Entwined economies of violence: understanding borderland conflict and resource politics in northern Kenya

Disasters, Volume 50, Issue 2, April 2026.
Abstract This article explores longstanding conflict between Turkana and Pokot pastoralist communities in northern Kenya, close to the country's border with Uganda. Conflict in this region has consistently defied interventions by both governments and development organisations.

The Legacy of Colonial‐Era Urban Planning on Present Day Air Quality Disparities in Kampala, Uganda

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 6, 28 March 2026.
Abstract British colonial urban planners in Kampala, Uganda, designed segregated neighborhoods for Europeans, Asians, and Africans, under the colonial public health guidance. No studies have investigated how these historical urban design decisions relate to modern air pollution exposure disparities in African cities.

Reversible Metamorphosis of a Conjugated Polymer Induced by Photoexcitation

Advanced Photonics Research, Volume 7, Issue 3, March 2026.
Photon absorption in conjugated polymers induces a persistent, reversible transformation in their optoelectronic and structural properties. At elevated temperatures, photoexcitation alters the molecular conformations and (re)organization of polymer molecules within low‐viscosity matrices, resulting in a persistent “photomemory” effect with blue‐shifted

Genetic diversity in taro (Colocasia esculenta (L.) Schott) accessions using agro‐morphological traits and DArT SNP

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 1, March 2026.
Abstract Taro (Colocasia esculenta (L.) Schott) is one of the neglected root crops with great potential for ensuring food security. Nigerian taro genetic diversity has been rarely reported, particularly using single‐nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers.

Unraveling genetic diversity and loci conferring leaf blast resistance in East and Southern African rice germplasm

Crop Science, Volume 66, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
Abstract Rice blast remains a major disease, causing severe yield losses in rice‐producing regions and posing a threat to global food security. Understanding genetic variation within germplasms is crucial for identifying locally adapted genotypes with beneficial alleles for improving resistance to this disease.

Modeling Airborne Influenza in Three Dimensions

Engineering Reports, Volume 8, Issue 3, March 2026.
A novel 3D fluid dynamics model demonstrates how influenza outbreaks spread spatially via “epidemic flow.” Simulations reveal that direct contact is the dominant transmission route over aerosol spread, offering a new tool to inform targeted public health interventions and spatially‐aware risk assessment.
