Does Productivity Growth Promote Environmental Sustainability? The Role of Financial Development

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigates whether total factor productivity (TFP) promotes environmental sustainability and examines the moderating and mediating roles of financial development in shaping this relationship. Using balanced panel data for 92 countries from 2000 to 2023, the analysis employs dynamic two‐step Generalised Method of Moments (GMM ...

Efficient Numerical Modelling Technology of Timber Post-and-Beam Frame Robustness

Buildings
The structural strength requirements for timber buildings have been significantly tightened in the second generation of Eurocodes (EN 1990:2023, EN 1991-1-7), which poses a particular challenge for solid timber frames with a beam-and-column structure ...

Contribution of the Baobab Value Chain to Equitable Rural Livelihoods and Poverty Alleviation in Ghana

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Non‐timber forest products (NTFPs) are central to income diversification and livelihood resilience in Sub‐Saharan Africa. However, the welfare implications of baobab commercialisation remain underexplored. This study addresses this gap by analysing the contribution of the baobab value chain to household income, poverty reduction, and income ...

The Role of Awareness in Sustainable Construction Materials Uptake in Developing Economies: Evidence From Nigeria

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sustainable Construction Materials (SCM) are crucial for reducing lifecycle emissions in the built environment, yet their adoption remains limited in many developing economies, such as Nigeria. This study investigates how awareness influences the adoption of SCM among professionals in Nigeria's Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC)

A Generic Approach to Creating a National Soil Security Strategy

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Soil is a living and non‐renewable resource that underpins our very existence. It produces our food, filters our water, stores vast amounts of carbon, cycles essential nutrients, and sustains the rich tapestry of biodiversity on which our planet depends.

Exploring the potential of Textile Reinforced Concrete for corrosion‐insensitive retaining walls

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract In a context where durability concerns, particularly the corrosion of steel reinforcement, remain a critical challenge for conventional reinforced concrete structures under severe exposure, Textile Reinforced Concrete (TRC) is emerging as a promising alternative.

The Lefkandi-Toumba Building as a Timber-Framed Structure

EXARC Journal
The article demonstrates that the building or megaron on the Toumba hill at Lefkandi (Euboea), dating from c.950 BC, was a timber-framed structure, in contrast to the common view of it as a building with loadbearing walls.

A comparison of thermal drones and camera trap population estimates for Sitka black‐tailed deer in Alaska

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
One of the most difficult challenges for wildlife managers is reliably estimating wildlife populations. Camera traps combined with spatial capture–recapture (SCR) models are a popular tool for population estimation. They have limitations, however, including long data processing times.

Landscape distribution and habitat use of sika deer using indirect signs of deer activity: a simple tool for forest managers

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
The populations of many deer species across Europe are widely reported to be increasing, leading to potentially greater impacts on forest ecosystems. Our understanding of factors driving the regional distribution (e.g. 1 km2 resolution) of deer populations is, however, often limited by a lack of knowledge of where deer are within the landscape.

Life‐history stages and behavior influence demographic classification of moose captured on remote cameras

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Obtaining accurate information on demographic states, such as the age and sex classes of animals, is an important step for monitoring wildlife populations. Traditionally, demographic data are collected from harvest, aerial surveys and telemetry studies.
