Master narratives as “colonial propaganda” and counternarratives as “refusal”: How African Australians reimagine racial dignity in Australia

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Community Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper utilizes the concept of “colonial master narratives” to examine how racial propaganda is mobilized in the Australian imaginary to “flatten” the stories of Blac/k people and how African Australians deploy counternarratives to reject these racialized projections.

Additives Enhancing Biodegradability in Plastics and Potential Implications for Textiles: A Mechanistic Review

open access: yesJournal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.
Mechanistic insights from additive‐assisted plastic degradation guide the design of environmentally adaptive textile fibers. Functional additives enhance oxidative, hydrolytic, enzymatic, and microbial degradation pathways. Translating these strategies requires control of fiber architecture, additive distribution, and environmental interactions ...

Effects of initial soil moisture on rill erodibility and critical shear stress factors in the WEPP model across diverse soil types

open access: yesInternational Soil and Water Conservation Research
Rill erosion, a significant issue in agricultural regions, is intricately linked to initial soil moisture conditions, affecting the development of concentrated flow erosion processes.

Comparison of potential and real erodibility of soil by wind

open access: yesActa Universitatis Agriculturae et Silviculturae Mendelianae Brunensis, 2007
Areas the most susceptible to wind erosion were chosen for the comparison of potential and real erodibility of soil by wind. All the areas are located in the Southern Moravia, the south-east of the Czech Republic.

Development and Characterization of Ribes nigrum Extract‐Loaded PLGA/Chitosan Nanoparticles as a Vaginal Drug Delivery System for Vulvovaginal Candidiasis

open access: yesJournal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.
Ribes nigrum extract‐loaded PLGA/chitosan nanoparticles is developed as a vaginal drug delivery system for vulvovaginal candidiasis. The chitosan‐coated nanoparticles exhibit favorable physicochemical properties, strong mucoadhesion, sustained release for up to 2 weeks, excellent biocompatibility, and potent antifungal activity against Candida albicans,

SPATIAL MAPPING AND ASSESSMENT OF SOIL ERODIBILITY USING GIS IN THE MIDDLE OF ERBIL PROVINCE

open access: yesThe Iraqi Journal of Agricultural science
This study aimed to estimate soil erodibility in the middle of Erbil province. The results of indirect methods were compared with the observed K-factor in order to determine the most suitable method. The tests were carried out for nine soil locations by

Effects of ameliorative afforestation on the erodibility factor and soil loss in the Grdelica gorge

open access: yesGlasnik Šumarskog Fakulteta Univerziteta u Banjoj Luci, 2018
The paper presents research carried out in the area of Grdelica gorge in 60 years old black pine (Pinus nigra Arnold.) stands. The aim of this study was to determine whether the applied planting method of ameliorative afforestation had an impact on ...

Erosion in living soil and life in eroded soil

open access: yes, 2019
The relationship between erosion and biodiversity is reciprocal. Soil organisms can both reduce soil loss, by improving porosity, and increase it, by diminishing soil stability as a result of their mixing activities. Simultaneously, soil runoff has ecological impacts on belowground communities. Despite these obvious interactions, soil erosion models do

Assessing soil erodibility and mobilization of phosphorus from Swedish clay soils - Comparison of two simple soil dispersion methods [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Erodibility of Swedish clay soils estimated according to the existing methods is usually low, but high levels of suspended solids and attached unreactive phosphorus have been recorded in drainage water from fields and catchments dominated by clay soils ...
