Environmental Stressors Influence Spatial Complexity in a Fluvial Macrophyte meadow
Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.This research investigates the nonlinear relationships between environmental stressors and the fine‐scale spatial complexity of a fluvial macrophytes meadow. The use of multivariate spatial analysis allowed us to identify two major environmental gradients (nutrients and light) and two major complexity gradients (related to abundance and fragmentation).

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The moral licensing theory (MLT) has been increasingly used to explain why proenvironmental behaviors (PEBs) sometimes lead to a decreased interest in sustainability (moral licensing), or how polluting actions might be followed by PEBs (moral cleansing). To shed light on how the MLT has been used in the studies on PEBs, this scoping review: (1)

Facilitating System Change With GOSR: Integrating AI and Human Collaboration
Systems Research and Behavioral Science, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Problem solving in complex domains requires approaches that encourage systems thinking, collaboration, and recognize multiple simultaneous solutions. Building from principles of General Systems Theory and existing problem structuring methods, we present a new method for supporting system partners working to address complex problems called GOSR.

Systems Research and Behavioral Science, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This paper addresses a gap in the application of systems thinking to higher education programme design. We use the Complexity Theory of Outcome Creation (CTOC), a structured model for working in complexity, to analyse Simon Fraser University's Semester in Dialogue (SiD)—an innovative undergraduate programme applying the ideas of dialogic ...

, 2017 Thanksgiving dinner with one’s family can be a source of joy and celebration. Or it can devolve into tense interactions, especially if dinnertime conversation turns to politics.
The Regulatory Review
core
, 2014 Researchers at the University of Nigeria have shown that the dormancy period of white yams (Dioscorea rotundata) can be broken by applying the growth regulator BIA (butyric indolic acid) to the tubers before planting. Farmers can thus schedule..

Economics of Seed Yam Production Using Minisett Technique in Oyo State, Nigeria
Field Actions Science Reports, 2011 The study evaluated the economics of seed yam production using the minisett technique in Oyo State, South West Nigeria. The analysis was based on input and output data collected from sixty yam (Dioscorea spp.) farmers and the existing market price in the
