Rising temperatures and humidity threaten global livestock production and food security. This study assesses the future impacts of heat stress in regions with high livestock production in Brazil by analyzing high-resolution (5 km) climate projections from the Eta Regional Climate Model under the RCP4.5 and RCP8.5 scenarios. Using the Temperature-Humidity Index (THI), we evaluated future heat stress conditions for dairy and beef cattle, goats, sheep, pigs, broilers, and layers. The results indicate a substantial increase in both the frequency and intensity of heat stress events across Brazil during the 21st century, especially under the RCP8.5 scenario. The number of days reaching extreme heat-stress levels (ndaysTHI) is projected to increase significantly, particularly in the western and central regions of the study area, and for more vulnerable species such as pigs and poultry. For instance, the number of extreme THI days for dairy cattle and goats is projected to increase by up to 244 days by the end of the century (long-term period compared to historical) under RCP8.5. This research provides essential data for developing effective and sustainable adaptation strategies to mitigate the effects of climate change on Brazil's livestock sector, offering insights applicable to other countries facing similar challenges. It addresses a significant knowledge gap by providing high-resolution, localized projections of future heat stress across Brazil's major production regions.
气温和湿度的上升威胁着全球畜牧业生产和粮食安全。本研究通过分析Eta区域气候模式在RCP4.5和RCP8.5情景下的高分辨率(5公里)气候预估,评估了热应激对巴西畜牧业高产地区的未来影响。利用温湿度指数(THI),我们评估了奶牛和肉牛、山羊、绵羊、猪、肉鸡和蛋鸡未来的热应激条件。结果表明,在21世纪,特别是在RCP8.5情景下,巴西各地热应激事件的频率和强度都大幅增加。预计达到极端热应激水平(ndaysTHI)的天数将显著增加,特别是在研究区域的西部和中部地区,以及猪和家禽等更脆弱的物种。例如,根据RCP8.5,到本世纪末,奶牛和山羊的极端THI天数预计将增加244天(与历史相比,长期期间)。这项研究为制定有效和可持续的适应战略以减轻气候变化对巴西畜牧业的影响提供了重要数据,并为面临类似挑战的其他国家提供了适用的见解。它通过提供巴西主要产区未来热应力的高分辨率本地化预测,解决了一个重要的知识缺口。

Digital circular platforms are a new form of socio-technical ecosystems integrating digital technologies, financial innovation and organizational sustainability practices designed to build resilience and regenerative value. This research studied the effect of digital platform functionality, digital governance maturity and platform-based financial mechanism on financial and accounting resilience through the mediating impact of organisational culture for sustainability and circular business model innovation. Using dynamic capabilities view and socio-technical systems theory as a theoretical foundation, the current research develops and tests a serial mediation model using data from 297 professionals. Digital governance maturity and platform-based financial mechanism improve financial and accounting resilience significantly to a considerable degree. Organisational culture for sustainability and circular business model innovation exhibit serial mediating effects. Thus, it confirms that a mechanism exists between digital and financial enablers leading to resilience outcomes. The considerable variance in financial and accounting resilience can be explained by the model. Therefore, it can be inferred that adaptive governance and innovation-driven culture are critical to sustaining circular digital ecosystems. This study enhances the understanding of how digital governance and circular innovation are linked through organizational culture-based mediating pathways. Practically, it provides actionable guidance for platform managers and policymakers to facilitate their establishment of integrative digital financial and accounting systems that generate resilience, adaptability, and long-term sustainability for circular business systems.
数字循环平台是一种新型的社会技术生态系统,整合了数字技术、金融创新和组织可持续性实践,旨在建立弹性和再生价值。本研究通过组织文化对可持续性和循环商业模式创新的中介影响,研究了数字平台功能、数字治理成熟度和平台型财务机制对财务和会计弹性的影响。本研究以动态能力观和社会技术系统理论为理论基础,利用297名专业人员的数据,开发并检验了一个序列中介模型。数字治理成熟度和基于平台的财务机制在相当程度上显著提高了财务和会计弹性。组织文化对可持续发展和循环商业模式创新表现出串行中介效应。因此,它证实了数字和金融推动者之间存在导致弹性结果的机制。财务和会计弹性的巨大差异可以用模型来解释。因此,可以推断,适应性治理和创新驱动文化对于维持循环数字生态系统至关重要。本研究通过基于组织文化的中介途径增强了对数字治理与循环创新之间关系的理解。实际上,它为平台管理者和政策制定者提供了可操作的指导,以促进他们建立综合数字财务和会计系统,为循环业务系统提供弹性、适应性和长期可持续性。

Critical minerals as a Trojan Horse: The political ecology of green extractivism in climate governance 作为特洛伊木马的关键矿物:气候治理中绿色开采主义的政治生态学
IF 4.3 2区 社会学 Q2 ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES Pub Date : 2026-06-01 Epub Date: 2025-12-27 DOI: 10.1016/j.exis.2025.101845

The climate emergency has been reframed as a moral summons to mine. Across policy, finance, and corporate discourse, extraction now parades as ecological salvation rather than ecological debt. This paper argues that the critical-minerals agenda serves as a Trojan Horse within climate governance, smuggling extractivist logic beneath the rhetoric of decarbonization. Drawing on political ecology, post-extractivist, and degrowth traditions, we integrate a PESTLE–Force-Field analysis of ninety-five policy and industry texts (2019–2025) from Canada, the United States, the European Union, Australia, and Chile. Findings reveal a moral economy of speed in which urgency, techno-sovereignty, and ESG finance transform acceleration into virtue and restraint into failure. Under this logic, decarbonization becomes accumulation by decarbonization—an intensification of material throughput disguised as responsibility. Authentic transition requires embedding ecological limits in law, institutionalizing Indigenous co-governance, and redirecting finance toward sufficiency rather than expansion. Decarbonization cannot be mined into existence; it must be governed into balance.
气候紧急情况已被重新定义为对我的道德召唤。在政策、金融和企业话语中,开采现在被标榜为生态拯救,而不是生态债务。本文认为,关键矿产议程是气候治理中的特洛伊木马,在脱碳的修辞下走私采掘者的逻辑。借鉴政治生态学、后采掘主义和去生长传统,我们整合了对加拿大、美国、欧盟、澳大利亚和智利的95个政策和行业文本(2019-2025)的杵力场分析。研究结果揭示了一种速度的道德经济,在这种经济中,紧迫感、技术主权和ESG金融将加速转化为美德,将约束转化为失败。在这种逻辑下,脱碳变成了脱碳的积累——一种伪装成责任的物质吞吐量的强化。真正的转型需要在法律中嵌入生态限制,使土著共同治理制度化,并将资金转向自给自足而不是扩张。脱碳不能被开采出来;它必须得到平衡的治理。

Geonarratives: Mapping local perspectives on the socio-ecological realities of extractivism in the Niger Delta 地理叙事:绘制当地视角对尼日尔三角洲采掘活动的社会生态现实
IF 4.3 2区 社会学 Q2 ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES Pub Date : 2026-06-01 Epub Date: 2026-01-13 DOI: 10.1016/j.exis.2025.101847

This article examines the socio-ecological impacts of oil and gas activities in four communities in the Niger Delta using a political ecology lens and environmental justice perspective. Drawing on participatory mapping, focus group discussions, and key informant interviews, the study reveals that community exposure to extractive infrastructure is both spatial and structural—defined not just by proximity to pipelines and facilities but also by systemic neglect, weak governance, and infrastructural deficits. The concept of “structural exposure” is introduced to explain how absence of services (e.g., roads, hospitals, potable water) amplifies harm in affected communities, while the idea of “exposure displacement” captures how ecological pressure migrates when resource users are pushed into contested or degraded areas. These dynamics deepen environmental and livelihood vulnerabilities and are often mediated by institutional inaction.
Findings highlight a range of community impacts—environmental degradation, cultural erosion, psychological stress, and socio-political disempowerment—as well as coping strategies such as artisanal refining, self-medication, and overexploitation of non-oil resources. These responses, while pragmatic, are often maladaptive, reinforcing cycles of vulnerability in the absence of state or corporate support. The analysis shows that harm is not evenly distributed but shaped by differentiated access to institutional protection, reinforcing patterns of environmental injustice. By linking these lived experiences to broader policy and governance failures, this article offers a grounded empirical base for subsequent governance and actor-network analysis and contributes to global debates on extractivism, vulnerability, and environmental justice.
本文从政治生态学和环境正义的角度考察了尼日尔三角洲四个社区石油和天然气活动的社会生态影响。通过参与式测绘、焦点小组讨论和关键信息提供者访谈,该研究表明,社区对采掘性基础设施的暴露既有空间上的,也有结构上的——不仅取决于是否靠近管道和设施,还取决于系统性忽视、治理薄弱和基础设施不足。引入“结构性暴露”的概念是为了解释服务(如道路、医院、饮用水)的缺乏如何扩大受影响社区的危害,而“暴露位移”的概念则是为了说明当资源使用者被推到有争议或退化的地区时,生态压力是如何迁移的。这些动态加剧了环境和生计的脆弱性,而且往往受到机构不作为的影响。研究结果强调了一系列对社区的影响——环境退化、文化侵蚀、心理压力和社会政治权力被剥夺——以及应对策略,如手工精炼、自我药物治疗和过度开采非石油资源。这些应对措施虽然务实,但往往是不适应的,在缺乏国家或企业支持的情况下,会加剧脆弱性的循环。分析表明,损害不是均匀分布的,而是由获得制度保护的不同途径形成的,从而加强了环境不公正的模式。通过将这些生活经验与更广泛的政策和治理失败联系起来,本文为后续的治理和行动者网络分析提供了坚实的经验基础,并为全球关于采掘主义、脆弱性和环境正义的辩论做出了贡献。

Employment in the digital economy: Role of artificial intelligence and technological innovation 数字经济中的就业:人工智能和技术创新的作用
IF 12.5 1区 社会学 Q1 SOCIAL ISSUES Pub Date : 2026-06-01 Epub Date: 2025-11-15 DOI: 10.1016/j.techsoc.2025.103171

In the age of the digital economy, technological advancements are reshaping labor markets, creating both new opportunities and challenges. However, the impact of digitalization, particularly the roles of artificial intelligence (AI) and technological innovation (TI), on employment remains insufficiently examined. This study examines the effect of the digital economy on employment in 36 OECD countries from 2005 to 2022, focusing on the moderating roles of AI and TI, using the Driscoll-Kraay Standard Errors (DKSE) model and various robustness tests. The findings show that: (1) the digital economy enhances employment, with a stronger effect at lower employment quantiles; (2) AI and TI strengthen the digital economy's impact, although AI's direct effect is negative, while innovation's effect is positive; (3) the digital economy increases employment through political, economic, and social globalization; (4) sectoral analysis reveals that the digital economy reduces jobs in agriculture while boosting those in the service sector, and has a positively insignificant effect on the industrial sector; and (5) heterogeneity analysis indicates that the digital economy's benefits are more pronounced in highly developed, industrialized, and less urbanized countries. The study emphasizes the need for tailored policies to maximize the benefits of digitalization, address the challenges posed by AI, and ensure sustainable and equitable labor market growth.
在数字经济时代,技术进步正在重塑劳动力市场,创造新的机遇和挑战。然而,数字化对就业的影响,特别是人工智能(AI)和技术创新(TI)的作用,仍然没有得到充分的研究。本研究使用Driscoll-Kraay标准误差(DKSE)模型和各种稳健性检验,考察了2005年至2022年36个经合组织国家数字经济对就业的影响,重点关注人工智能和信息技术的调节作用。研究结果表明:(1)数字经济促进了就业,在就业分位数越低的地方,数字经济对就业的促进作用越强;(2)人工智能和信息技术增强了数字经济的影响,但人工智能的直接影响是负的,而创新的影响是正的;(3)数字经济通过政治、经济和社会全球化增加就业;(4)行业分析显示,数字经济在促进服务业就业的同时减少了农业就业,对工业部门的影响不显著;(5)异质性分析表明,在高度发达、工业化程度高、城市化程度低的国家,数字经济的效益更为显著。该研究强调需要制定量身定制的政策,以最大限度地发挥数字化的效益,应对人工智能带来的挑战,并确保可持续和公平的劳动力市场增长。

The relationship between worry about technological progress and job engagement - Differences by type of job characteristics 对技术进步的担忧与工作投入的关系——工作特征类型的差异
IF 12.5 1区 社会学 Q1 SOCIAL ISSUES Pub Date : 2026-06-01 Epub Date: 2025-11-13 DOI: 10.1016/j.techsoc.2025.103163

Unlike earlier waves of technological development, Industry 4.0 technologies now challenge the assumption that complex and analytical roles are less susceptible to automation. This study examines the relationship of concerns about technological progress with workers' job engagement, particularly how these vary across different job characteristics. Using data from 17,087 Korean employees, we categorized job characteristics into four types: High Autonomy-Simple (23.4 %), Low Autonomy-Simple (33.8 %), High Autonomy-Complex (28.8 %), and Low Autonomy-Complex (14.0 %). The results indicate that worry about technological progress and automation negatively relates to job engagement, with the extent of these results differing across job characteristic groups. These findings highlight the need to consider job characteristics when assessing the relationship between technological concerns and workers' job engagement. Additionally, the importance of enhancing employees' perceived usefulness and ease of use of emerging technologies to foster resilience in an evolving labor market was emphasized.
与早期的技术发展浪潮不同,工业4.0技术现在挑战了复杂和分析角色不易受自动化影响的假设。本研究考察了对技术进步的关注与工人工作投入的关系,特别是这些关系在不同的工作特征中是如何变化的。我们利用韩国17,087名员工的数据,将工作特征分为高自主性-简单(23.4%)、低自主性-简单(33.8%)、高自主性-复杂(28.8%)、低自主性-复杂(14.0%)等4种类型。结果表明,对技术进步和自动化的担忧与工作敬业度呈负相关,并且这些结果的程度在不同的工作特征组中有所不同。这些发现强调,在评估技术关注和员工工作投入之间的关系时,需要考虑工作特征。此外,还强调了提高员工对新兴技术的感知有用性和易用性的重要性,以促进在不断变化的劳动力市场中的复原力。

Scientific and technological innovation has become a contested area of societal progress, often compounded by rising levels of societal mistrust and populist thinking. Responding to this, scholars and practitioners are deeply contemplating public ethics, accountability, and risk. At the heart of this motivation lies the domain of Responsible Innovation, where academics alongside applied stakeholders are endeavouring to align the values of innovation with those of society. To further our understanding of value alignment across the diversity of public opinion, this research maps opinions of science and technology through the lens of responsible practice using segmentation analysis on a large Australian sample (N = 2127). We find opinion divided into four typologies: Champions (22 %); Supporters (40 %); Moderates (30 %); and Sceptics (8 %). To investigate the impact of mistrust on these typologies, we assessed their relationship to both mistrust of society and of science, as measured by conspiratorial thinking and anti-science populism. Data showed levels of mistrust to be moderate across all typologies, but societal mistrust to be significantly higher for Sceptics. This research provides a benchmark for public opinions of responsible scientific and technological innovation against which other studies can compare. Moreover, results suggest that societal mistrust may be influencing perceptions of science across all typologies, but particularly for those normally perceived as disinterested or disengaged. These results call for a more concerted application of informed Responsible Innovation principles with which to deliver Responsible Innovation practice.
科技创新已经成为社会进步的一个有争议的领域,往往伴随着社会不信任和民粹主义思想的加剧。对此,学者和从业者正在深入思考公共道德、问责制和风险。这一动机的核心是负责任的创新领域,在这一领域,学者和应用利益相关者正在努力使创新的价值观与社会的价值观保持一致。为了进一步了解公众意见多样性的价值一致性,本研究通过对澳大利亚大型样本(N = 2127)进行分割分析,通过负责任的实践来绘制科学和技术意见。我们发现意见分为四种类型:冠军(22%);支持者(40%);温和派(30%);怀疑论者(8%)。为了研究不信任对这些类型学的影响,我们通过阴谋论思维和反科学民粹主义来评估它们与社会和科学不信任的关系。数据显示,在所有类型中,不信任程度都是中等的,但怀疑论者的社会不信任程度要高得多。本研究为公众对负责任的科技创新的看法提供了一个基准,可供其他研究进行比较。此外,研究结果表明,社会不信任可能会影响所有类型的科学观念,尤其是那些通常被认为不感兴趣或不参与的人。这些结果要求更协调地应用知情的负责任的创新原则,以提供负责任的创新实践。

Untangling indigenous land rights: Compensating cultural and spiritual losses caused by mining activities in South Africa 理清土著土地权利:补偿南非采矿活动造成的文化和精神损失
IF 4.3 2区 社会学 Q2 ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES Pub Date : 2026-06-01 Epub Date: 2025-12-05 DOI: 10.1016/j.exis.2025.101823

Mining operations in rural South Africa have long caused conflicts between powerful corporations and land-insecure Indigenous communities. Despite legislative protections under the Interim Protection of Informal Land Rights Act (IPILRA), Indigenous communities remain vulnerable due to foreign investment strategies that prioritise economic interests. This article explores the broader implications of mining activities, particularly after mine closures, on Indigenous land rights. By analysing the South African Constitution, IPILRA, and mining laws, this article argues that compensation for Indigenous communities must encompass not only economic and environmental losses but also cultural, spiritual, and social impacts. The disaggregation of Indigenous land rights is essential for recognising these non-tangible losses as constitutional property, ensuring that Indigenous communities are fully compensated for the totality of their deprivations.
长期以来,南非农村地区的采矿活动引发了强大公司与土地不安全的土著社区之间的冲突。尽管《非正式土地权利临时保护法案》(IPILRA)提供了立法保护,但由于优先考虑经济利益的外国投资战略,土著社区仍然很脆弱。本文探讨了采矿活动,特别是在矿山关闭后,对土著土地权利的更广泛影响。通过分析南非宪法、IPILRA和采矿法,本文认为对土著社区的补偿不仅必须包括经济和环境损失,还必须包括文化、精神和社会影响。要承认这些无形的损失是宪法规定的财产,确保土著社区得到对其全部剥夺的充分补偿,对土著土地权利进行分类是必不可少的。

Sexual violence and extraction: Interrogating mining executive discourses of corporate social responsibility, violence, and impunity 性暴力和抽取:质问采矿业高管关于企业社会责任、暴力和有罪不罚的话语
IF 4.3 2区 社会学 Q2 ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES Pub Date : 2026-06-01 Epub Date: 2025-12-09 DOI: 10.1016/j.exis.2025.101824

Gender-based and sexual violence permeates resource extraction. This violence operates in many forms and spheres, both public and private. Focusing on a case of overt, public violence, we ask, what is productive about gender-based and sexual violence for mining corporations? In the context of commitments to social responsibility and the gender impacts of mining, what can explain corporate engagement with acts of extreme violence that publicly undermine these commitments? We respond by exploring the case of the 2007 attack on Maya Q’eqchi’ women near the Fénix nickel mine in Guatemala. Following an attack allegedly involving gang rape by public-private armed forces, eleven survivors mobilized to demand justice in the landmark Caal v. Hudbay legal case in Canada. Our analysis offers a reading of the internal communications of mining executives and their affiliates, which were released through the case. Bringing these data in conversation with critical theories of race, gender and extraction, we argue that the mining company benefitted not only from the gendered suppression and discipline of resistance, but also from the reinforcement of a racialized view of Guatemala as violent—a stereotype that allows Canadian corporate executives to continue to project their goodness, regardless of the substance of their actions.
性别暴力和性暴力渗透在资源开采中。这种暴力以多种形式和领域发生,包括公共和私人暴力。聚焦于一个公开的、公开的暴力案件,我们问,对矿业公司来说,基于性别的暴力和性暴力有什么成效?在对社会责任的承诺和采矿的性别影响的背景下,如何解释企业参与公开破坏这些承诺的极端暴力行为?我们的回应是探讨2007年在危地马拉fsamunix镍矿附近袭击玛雅Q ‘ eqchi ’妇女的案件。在一起据称涉及公私武装部队轮奸的袭击事件发生后,11名幸存者动员起来,要求在加拿大具有里程碑意义的卡尔诉赫德贝法律案件中伸张正义。我们的分析提供了对矿业高管及其附属公司的内部通信的解读,这些通信是通过此案发布的。将这些数据与种族、性别和开采的批判性理论进行对话,我们认为矿业公司不仅受益于性别压制和抵抗纪律,还受益于危地马拉暴力的种族化观点的强化——这种刻板印象允许加拿大公司高管继续表现出他们的善良,而不管他们行为的实质。
