Resilience Practices and Post‐Traumatic Growth Among Sudanese IDPs

Conflict Resolution Quarterly, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In this paper we examine the resilience of internally displaced persons (IDPs) in Sudan who have endured various forms of suffering resulting from being targeted or trapped by militants involved in large‐scale violence. Upon escaping the conflict zones, the civilians exhibit strength, adaptability, and wisdom in the face of various threats to ...

Corporate Sustainability Performance and Fraud Risk Management in Nigeria's Extractive Sector: The Moderating Role of Ownership Structure in an Evolving Environmental Policy Landscape

Corporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Using the environmental quality cost management model, this study examines how fraud risk management (FRM) influences corporate sustainability performance (CSP) and how ownership structures moderate it. The study uses artificial neural networks (ANN) and logistic regression models to test two hypotheses. H1 demonstrates that the prevention and

Recorded and potential alien invertebrate pests in Finnish agriculture and horticulture

Agricultural and Food Science, 2008
It is assumed that climate change will promote pest invasions and their establishment in new regions. We have updated the list of current alien invertebrate pest species in Finland and produced a list of potential new alien pests using a self-organizing ...

Pesticide Contamination in the Hair of Children From Colonia San Juan, a Rural Community in Paraguay

Drug Testing and Analysis, EarlyView.
Hair analysis in children from a rural community in Paraguay reveals exposure to organophosphates, pyrethroids, neonicotinoids, fungicides, herbicides, and endocrine disruptors, highlighting the urgent need for stricter environmental protections and preventive health measures. ABSTRACT Chronic exposure to pesticides can cause carcinogenic, reproductive,

Does biotic resistance govern forest invasions by bark and ambrosia beetles?

Ecography, EarlyView.
The theory of biotic resistance states that community diversity promotes resistance to biological invasions. This theory has been widely explored for its ability to explain variation in habitat invasibility to non‐native plant species and while the theory holds in some systems, it does not in others.

Pests and Agricultural Production under Climate Change [PDF]

Although the effect of climate change on agricultural pests has been studied by biologists, thus far, large-scale assessments of climate change and agriculture have not included the impact of pests.

Temperature variability homogenized thermal responses in an ectotherm community along a European longitudinal gradient

Ecography, EarlyView.
Climate change, through rising temperatures, greater variability, and more frequent extremes, is reshaping insect phenology and thermal niches, with profound effects for pest outbreaks. Predicting these impacts requires a clear understanding of species and communities' responses across geographic gradients.

Biomass‐Derived Transparent Bamboo Composite Films with Europium‐Based Photoconversion for Energy‐Efficient Smart Agriculture

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
A biomass‐based transparent bamboo composite doped with europium efficiently converts UV light into photosynthetically active red light, significantly enhancing plant growth and providing a sustainable alternative to petroleum‐based agricultural films. The rational design of sustainable light‐conversion agricultural materials is critical for enhancing ...
