Biodiversity faces heightened threats due to increasing global urbanization and land use intensity. Protecting global biodiversity through optimized protected areas is essential, yet current studies encounter challenges in measuring biodiversity, analyzing threat effects, and defining optimization pathways. We propose a framework to assess the impact of future land use changes on biodiversity in protected areas. By simulating biodiversity changes under different pathways, we evaluate the potential of protected areas in covering hotspots of natural habitats and biodiversity loss. Three scenarios (enhance protection management, optimize spatial distribution, improve global coverage) are compared to mitigate biodiversity loss. Our results found that future land use changes will lead to a decrease of 0.84 % and 0.97 % in richness and abundance. Compared to improving coverage, enhancing management and spatial optimization can also improve protection effectiveness. This study aids in identifying threats and optimizing pathways for global conservation efforts, advancing our understanding and capacity to address future conservation needs.

The global demand for copper is projected to increase by approximately 3.5 times by 2050, yet the mining industry faces significant challenges in meeting this demand due to inherent risks within the copper supply chain. The industry's ability to address the supply chain risks will largely depend on its capacity to manage Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) issues. Leveraging current technology and real-time data collection is crucial for efficiently and effectively mitigating ESG risks, as it enables prompt identification and response to potential issues. However, the absence of standardized metrics for ESG compliance presents a critical barrier. This study aims to develop a retrospective and qualitative assessment to evaluate ESG risks in the copper supply chain through a regulatory compliance lens and apply risk assessment strategies across different stages of the supply chain. Our findings indicate that while local, national, and international regulations, rights, and guidelines are extensive, effective application and adherence to these standards can significantly reduce ESG risks. We conclude that regional governments should play a leading role in establishing a robust ESG framework with accountability and transparency to support sustainable copper supply chains and ensure the industry's future viability. We recommend the integration of data-driven technologies in ESG assessment and compliance.

This paper examines how dominant communities (ethnic or national groups) in divided cities use toponyms (place names) as part of their efforts to establish and maintain various types of political control over urban spaces. To this end, it analyzes an original dataset that includes all the names that the State of Israel, which has been dominated by the Jewish community since its establishment, gave to neighborhoods in West Jerusalem during the periods of the city's post-partition control (1948–1967) and post-unification control (1967–2022), as well as to neighborhoods in East Jerusalem in the latter period. By exploring the formal and informal names given to Jerusalem's neighborhoods in the different periods of Israeli rule, we emphasize the significance of toponymic practices in establishing and maintaining different types of political control in divided cities as well as their practical limitations.

This article focuses on the corporeal, affective, creative worldings which are at the core of decolonial feminisms, allowing us to imagine life otherwise. It explores these questions through the analysis of the feminist decolonial films that have not yet received all the attention they deserve. Although many theoretical works have been written on decolonial aesthesis, they rarely analyse individual artworks, while analytical texts mostly address specific local histories and do not translate into other contexts.
In this article, we explore two feminist films from a decolonial perspective: Forty Days of Silence (2014) directed by Uzbek visual artist/filmmaker Saodat Ismailova and Smoke Sauna Sisterhood (2023) made by Estonian filmmaker Anna Hints. We selected these films because we are affectively and corporeally linked to them through our roots in Central Asia and Estonia respectively and because these films connect the decolonial and the postsocialist in enriching ways for the current discussions on decolonial feminisms in the postcommunist world. Despite their very different historical imperial-colonial trajectories these regions share the Soviet and post-socialist experience and the specific strategies of coping with these dependencies.
Through a close thematic and cinematic analysis, we suggest that while the two authors draw on different cultural practices and ideological and imperial/colonial intersections, they overlap in their interpretation of decolonial healing through focus on matristic rituals. We argue that rethinking of narrative/script conventions, improvisation and development of specific decolonial feminist cinematic gaze through alterations in ordinary camera work are crucial elements of feminist artmaking that contribute to decolonizing worldings.

The research explores the relationship between extrinsic and intrinsic factors and housing prices in order to determine their effect in price formation in the housing market and consequently also on urban planning. Based on a sample of 3683 dwellings in Rome, the urban and structural variables influencing supply prices have been analyzed. The methodology used combined web scrapping, geo-referencing of dwellings, decision tree analysis and the use of variance analysis models in order to obtain scalable results for other European cities. The results describe a situation regarding the formation of asking prices in the real estate market, which outlines the relationship between primary real estate properties and public services considered essential for peoples quality of life. These findings provide insights that contribute to optimizing the options available to decision-makers in urban planning strategies and the real estate market.

Feminist activism has played an important part in challenging patriarchal, ableist, corporate and colonial sporting traditions, structures, economies and practices. Amidst growing attention and investment in women's sport, this paper opens up a dialogue between the authors – feminist scholars/practitioners from differing locations and intellectual orientations – to critically reflect on our experiences of doing feminist, queer and anti-racist work in sport settings, and the costs and difficulties of sustaining this work. Structured as a conversation between the authors, this paper considers how different feminist perspectives and solutions to issues in sport are received by different stakeholders. It foregrounds the impacts of hostility and backlash intended to undermine activist efforts arising from feminist sport and movement cultures. The implications of this work are addressed in terms of the labor involved and consequences for safety and wellbeing. We identify several actions to sustain ourselves individually and collectively as we advocate for change in sport contexts that can be unreceptive, indifferent and hostile to feminist, queer and anti-racist voices.

The environmental impacts of infrastructure projects are widely assessed through a procedure known as environmental impact assessments (EIAs). In many regulatory systems, EIAs are carried out by third-party intermediaries. However, their roles and effectiveness within public policy and regulatory governance remain understudied. This study addresses this gap by examining 24 wind energy projects deliberated in Israeli planning committees between 2003 and 2024. Specifically, we ask: (1) What intermediary roles do EIAs and those responsible for their implementation play? (2) What are the strengths and weaknesses of EIAs as an intermediation mechanism? (3) How do these strengths and weaknesses shape their effectiveness? Our analysis identifies five key intermediary roles: two formal roles, which are legally defined—providing advisory services and facilitating enforcement and compliance—and three informal roles, which extend beyond strict regulatory mandates—interpretation, dialogue facilitation, and advocacy. The formal roles ensure compliance with regulatory guidelines and advance environmental expertise, thereby meeting regulatory requirements and contributing to high procedural effectiveness. However, challenges persist, particularly regarding informal roles, which are often influenced by intermediaries’ alignment with developers’ interests. These challenges contribute to relatively low substantive effectiveness, as planning committees frequently find EIAs insufficient for informed decision-making, leading them to seek external consultants for validation. The gap between EIAs meeting regulatory requirements and planning committees’ inability to fully rely on them highlights weaknesses in EIA governance as a mechanism of regulatory intermediation. We argue that formalizing informal intermediary roles with clearer guidelines could improve EIA effectiveness, enhance objectivity, and strengthen decision-making in the EIA framework.

There is a growing body of qualitative research documenting the experiences of children growing up in the context of parental intimate partner violence (PIPV). Adolescents form an especially vulnerable group; yet there persists a systematic marginalization of their PIPV experiences in child maltreatment and violence exposure research. Qualitative research on adolescent PIPV perspectives can potentially amplify their voices and emphasize their unmet support needs and their developmentally unique strengths in achieving resilient outcomes. This can further inform adolescent- and youth-specific community and clinical intervention development and larger policy reform. This qualitative literature review includes 33 studies identified through an online research database search. Qualitative or mixed methods primary research studies that sampled adolescent participants aged from 13 to 19 years, published in English in peer-reviewed journals, and objectivizing any aspect of adolescent PIPV experience were included. Quality was assessed using the Critical Appraisal Skills Program checklist. Findings across studies were synthesized into eight overarching themes: Stifled Freedom and Autonomy; The Parentified Protector; Coping through Mental Escape, Creative Expression, and Cultural Identity; Older, Stronger, and Smarter during PIPV; Polyvictimization; Gender, Violence Acceptability and Dating Violence; and Felt Support Needs. This review sets the agenda for further qualitative, adolescent-first inquiry into the experiences of adolescents growing up with interparental violence, especially in low- to middle-income countries where intimate partner and spousal violence along with children and adolescents’ experience of it are doubly prevalent compared to the developed world.

The mental health status of university students is a global concern. This study investigated the mental health and wellbeing of university students in Australia, with a focus on identifying potential differences between domestic and international tertiary students. It was hypothesized that international students would experience greater mental health challenges compared to domestic students. Building on previous research predominantly centered on domestic students, a diverse sample of 838 university students (Mage = 23.0, SD = 5.4; 69 % female) was recruited. The results indicated a significant prevalence (44.1 % and 93.3 %, respectively) of moderate to severe levels of psychological distress and moderate to high levels of loneliness among the sampled population. It was found that mental health outcomes were comparatively more favorable for Chinese international students than both domestic students and international students from other countries. These findings underscore the need for targeted interventions to address the specific mental health challenges that different student populations face.
