Risk assessment using IEUBK model for the Naica mine tailings

Environmental Progress &Sustainable Energy, EarlyView.
Abstract Mexico has a long history of mineral extraction, during which limited environmental regulations allowed the accumulation of toxic waste near communities, primarily in rural or undeveloped areas. Some of these toxic substances, such as lead, pose significant risks to vulnerable populations, particularly children aged 0 to 7 years.

Solid Biofuel Usage and Households' Behavior Toward Energy Choice in Northwest Ethiopia

Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
This study analyzed household energy choice behavior in northwest Ethiopia using an integrated energy stacking and decision‐making framework. Evidence shows dominant reliance on solid biomass and a fuel‐stacking pattern, while urban residences, higher income, and education increase clean energy adoption, highlighting the need for pro‐poor, context ...

Rainfall Erosivity Factor Update in Uruguay

Agrociencia Uruguay, 2022
The Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE) and its revised form (RUSLE) are the soil erosion models incorporated into the EROSION 6.0 software. This, in turn, is the soil conservation planning tool used to fulfill the soil conservation regulations in Uruguay.

Caught in the fire: An accidental ethnography of discomfort in researching sex work

Feminist Anthropology, EarlyView.
Abstract Drawing on fifteen years of engagement with researching Israel's sex industry, this article uses accidental ethnography to propose discomfort‐as‐method for feminist anthropology. I argue that discomfort is not a by‐product of fieldwork but a constitutive condition that disciplines researchers and shapes what can be known.

Marine Macroalgae as a Safe Healthy Food While Meeting Food Security Challenges Arising From Climate Changes

Food Safety and Health, EarlyView.
Planned harvesting and processing of marine macroalgae could meet future global food needs and mitigate fuel‐originated carbon dioxide responsible for climate change. Microalgal foods are nutritious and safe. The utilization of macroalgae would avoid environmental problems arising from the release of overgrowing macroalgae caused by heatwaves, which ...
