A general transition to plant-based diets is recommended for improved human and planetary health. The information about why people opt for plant-based diets can be used to profile future health promotion initiatives. We studied the reasons that encouraged the adoption and maintenance of plant-based diets and the influence of the socio-cultural environment and other external factors. Through the us
The past years have seen an unprecedented growth in the ICT economy that has fundamentally altered business models and consumer cultures. Many of the changes this has implied are specifically relevant for tourism, a sector that perhaps more than any other is exposed to and implicated in digital innovation, consumer-business interrelationships, and platform reliance. Most studies of the digitalizat
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is regarded as an effort to be undertaken by the businesses to contribute towards society at large positively. The idea behind the concept of CSR is that businesses are required to pursue the notion of pro-social objectives along with economic objectives. Research has long established that corporate social responsibility, along with its philanthropic nature, c
This review of a selection of literature in critical geography, political ecology, eco-Marxism, and ecological economics over thepast five decades reflects on the paucity of discussion on the phenomenon of modern, all-purpose money. This is paradoxical,given the almost universal denunciation of mainstream economics and capitalist political economy in this literature. The cri-tiques of environmental
Although communism was a Western creation, its last consequences were implemented in southeastern Europe. In addition to the imposed aspects, there were local enthusiasms and excesses of zeal (euphemistically speaking), which attest to the existence of an identity matrix and a common mentality. Countries with an authoritarian tradition have absorbed this ideology of simultaneous denationalization
Precarity is a common condition for most healthy people living in tropical countries and obviously even more so in patients with cancer. Numerous socioeconomic, cultural, and educational difficulties influence the outcome of cancer management: poverty, diminishing extended family support among communities, lack of reliable cancer registries, poor awareness even within the medical community, limite
Housing is crucial for people to flourish, as it is more than shelter and physical infrastructure. The conversation discusses trajectories and ‘variegations’ in universal, decommodified, non-profit housing provision in Scandinavian countries, focusing on Sweden (allmännyttan) and Denmark (almen). It explores how Sweden’s municipal rental housing was transformed by neoliberal market fundamentalism,
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder with a growing global burden. Current pharmacological therapies remain limited to symptomatic management, owning to an incomplete understanding of the mechanisms driving α‑synuclein aggregation and disease progression. This review provides an integrated overview of PD across epidemiological, etiological, pathophysiological, and c
BACKGROUND: An international panel of obesity medicine experts from multiple professional organizations examined patterns of obesity care and current obesity treatment guidelines to identify areas requiring updating in response to emerging science and clinical evidence.AIMS: The panel focused on multiple medical health and societal issues influencing effective treatment of obesity and identified s
This chapter is situated in the intersection between a practice paper and a scienti!c paper. The authors of the chapter are researchers and teachers in teacher education and upper secondary school. All are part of a funded practice-based research project focusing on EDI (electronic digital instrument), within a national pilot project commissioned by the Swedish government from 2017 to 2024, an ini
Fire has shaped terrestrial ecosystems for hundreds of millions of years. Human activities dramatically shift natural fire regimes, leading to adverse conservation impacts that are projected to increase in severity. Many animals appear ill-equipped to face these drastic changes, and they may be unable to adapt rapidly enough. In contrast, behavioural plasticity could offer a faster solution to ach
The GERD has been a focal point of hydropolitical tensions in the Nile River Basin, primarily involving Ethiopia, Sudan, and Egypt. This article examines Sudan’s unique position and role as a potential mediator in this tripartite dispute. Khartoum’s mediation role, driven by its own vested interests in the dam’s operation, including benefits from regulated flood control, electricity generation and
The genus Lupinus (Fabaceae) represents an exceptional model system for studying evolutionary processes mediated by pollinators and environmental factors. This review synthesizes evidence on phenotypic variability of floral traits, trait selection by biotic and abiotic factors, and the eco-evolutionary implications of these interactions. Pollinators shape floral traits through specialized selectio
A tumour grows when the total division (birth) rate of its cells exceeds their total mortality (death) rate. The capability for uncontrolled growth within the host tissue is acquired via the accumulation of driver mutations which enable the tumour to progress through various hallmarks of cancer. We present a mathematical model of the penultimate stage in such a progression. We assume the tumour ha
In this Letter, the first evidence of the (Formula presented) antihypernucleus is presented, along with the first measurement at the LHC of the production of (anti)hypernuclei with mass number (Formula presented), specifically (Formula presented) and (Formula presented). In addition, the antiparticle-to-particle ratios for both hypernuclei ((Formula presented) and (Formula presented)) are shown, w
