The dynamics of wild and alternative meat consumption across Gabon, Central Africa
People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract Long‐term overharvesting of wild animals for their meat threatens wildlife and the people dependent on wild animal meat for their diets and incomes. Interventions to reduce wild meat consumption must be built upon a complete understanding of the roles of wild meat and its alternatives within food systems.

People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract Forests and woodlands are important for biodiversity, climate change mitigation and the provision of services including recreation, timber and non‐timber forest products. Land use policies currently aim to increase forest cover while also maximising the benefits of forests for people and improving community engagement with the process of ...

Some Symmetric Identities Involving the Stirling Polynomials Under the Finite Symmetric Group
Mathematics, 2018 In the paper, the authors present some symmetric identities involving the Stirling polynomials and higher order Bernoulli polynomials under all permutations in the finite symmetric group of degree n.

Science Education, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study examines how integrating sustainability through socio‐scientific issue (SSI) in secondary chemistry teaching shapes epistemic openness and closure from a decolonial perspective, as mediated through classroom discourse. Drawing on a co‐planned lesson on copper mining in Chile – a scientifically rich yet ethically and politically ...

The $t$-successive associated Stirling numbers, $t$-Fibonacci--Stirling numbers, and unimodality
TURKISH JOURNAL OF MATHEMATICS, 2017 Summary: Using a combinatorial approach, we introduce the \(t\)-successive associated Stirling numbers, and we give the recurrence relation and the generating function. We also establish the unimodality of sequence \(\left\{\frac{n-2k}{k}\right\}_{k}\) lying over a ray of the Stirling triangle of the second kind. Some combinatorial identities are given.

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are unlikely to be achieved by 2030, prompting debate about what should follow. Beyond revision, there is a need to critically examine what values and assumptions have shaped how the SDGs are conceptualised and operationalised.

The place of solar power: an economic analysis of concentrated and distributed solar power
Chemistry Central Journal, 2012 Background This paper examines the cost and benefits, both financial and environmental, of two leading forms of solar power generation, grid-tied photovoltaic cells and Dish Stirling Systems, using conventional carbon-based fuel as a benchmark.

Refinements of the Bell and Stirling numbers
Transactions on Combinatorics, 2017 We introduce new refinements of the Bell, factorial, and unsigned Stirling numbers of the first and second kind that unite the derangement, involution, associated factorial, associated Bell, incomplete Stirling, restricted factorial, restricted Bell, and $r$-derangement numbers (and probably more!).

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT ‘Hard’ natural sciences have extensively been used to provide evidence that climate change is happening and climate action is needed. If the contribution of our economic activities to disturbing our climate systems is now largely accepted, the way in which we design and operationalise ‘climate action’—how we transition to more sustainable ...

On Stirling numbers and Euler sums
Journal of Computational and Applied Mathematics, 1997 In this paper, we propose another yet generalization of Stirling numbers of the first kind for noninteger values of their arguments. We discuss the analytic representations of Stirling numbers through harmonic numbers, the generalized hypergeometric function and the logarithmic beta integral.
