A Scoping Review of Construction and Demolition Waste Management and the Sustainable Development Goals: Evidence From Brazil

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Construction and demolition waste (CDW) management poses significant challenges but also offers opportunities for advancing sustainable development, especially in rapidly urbanizing countries such as Brazil. This scoping review examines the relationship between CDW management practices in Brazil and the United Nations Sustainable Development ...

Advancing Organ‐on‐Chip Models With a Sacrificial Granular Hydrogel Strategy for Enhanced Permeability and Biomimicry

open access: yesSmall Methods, EarlyView.
A reversed granular hydrogel strategy creates highly porous 3D matrices within bone marrow (BM)‐on‐chip devices. Sacrificial alginate microgels generate interconnected microporosity that enhances nano/microparticle and cell mobilitymimicking pathogen agents—from the perfused vascular channel into the BM compartment, while preventing cell sedimentation ...

Land use gradients drive spatial variation in Lassa fever host communities in the Eastern Province of Sierra Leone

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
As West Africa urbanises, the risk of Lassa fever may paradoxically decrease. We found the invasive house mouse, a dominant urban species, outcompetes and displaces the primary Lassa virus host. Considering these species interactions is critical for accurately predicting future zoonotic disease patterns.

Assessing the success of a horizon scanning approach in predicting invasive non‐native species arrival

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, EarlyView.
We conclude that horizon scanning provides a rapid, affordable and successful mechanism to predict the arrival of high‐risk INNS. We highlight the importance of citizen science, including biological recording, and of local expertise for detecting and documenting arrival of INNS.

From the manager's point of view: work intensification, posthuman ethnography, and healthcare in England Du point de vue des managers : intensification du travail, ethnographie post‐humaine et soins de santé en Angleterre

open access: yesJournal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
Drawing on fieldwork conducted in a hospital in Greater Manchester, England in 2016–17, we describe how a set of national health priorities were translated into work for hospital managers and clinicians during a period of significant organizational pressure.
