The use of antibiotic growth promoters (AGPs) in poultry production has raised concerns for human, animal, and environmental health owing to the development and spread of antimicrobial resistance. These concerns have tri...

Precision agriculture plays a crucial role in sustainable food production and resource-efficient land management. A key component of precision agriculture is the semantic segmentation of crops and weeds that enables auto...

Abstract This systematic review explores the social aspects of cleaner production adoption in the Global North and South, addressing the critical gap in understanding how socio-cultural, governance, and behavioural facto...

ABSTRACT Background and Aims Patient and public involvement and engagement (PPIE) in research is crucial for producing knowledge that is meaningful to the participating community. Sharing PPIE principles into practical t...

While there is wide consensus about the reliance of climate projections at global scale, there is still uncertainty about changes at finer scale and even less on the effects of such fluctuations for local economies and s...

Eco-labeling and Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) practices are increasingly promoted in the global forestry sector to encourage sustainable consumption. However, limited research has examined how consumers' a...

Intensive dairy sheep production systems, which represent a substantial and growing portion of the global livestock sector, present significant behavioral and welfare challenges for lambs. This review aims to summarize a...

The purpose of the scientific research is to identify and argue the relationship between the quality and amount of taxation of digital products and services, and the development of digital businesses. It also aims to pro...

Learning is crucial for humans and other animals to acquire knowledge, enhancing survival and reproduction. In particular, individual and social learning allow populations to accumulate knowledge across generations. Here...

Abstract For future precision analyses of the Higgs boson at $$\approx 125\,\, \textrm{GeV}$$ ≈ 125 GeV , $$h_{125}$$ h 125 , a precise knowledge of its production and decay properties is mandatory. While in the Standa...

Abstract Many sulfated polysaccharides (SPSs) possess useful physicochemical properties and biological activities and are widely used in industry. Currently, major SPSs are derived from livestock and marine organisms. To...

Globally, there is a recurring discourse that higher education systems need to transform. In South Africa, this discourse is articulated in the post-apartheid agenda of redress and equity. Before 1994, higher education w...

IntroductionAddressing “wicked problems"—complex societal challenges without clear boundaries or solutions—requires deep integration of knowledge across disciplines and sectors (transdisciplinary collaboration). Wh...

Abstract Cassava (Manihot esculenta) is an important staple food in sub–Saharan Africa. Over 60% of the global cassava production occurs in Africa, with the southern African region contributing approximately 15% to thi...

Sisal fibre handicrafts, common in tropical regions, traditionally relied on plant-based dyes. However, these have largely been replaced by synthetic dyes, contributing to the loss of traditional knowledge. This study ai...

Abstract Alkaline water electrolysis represents a promising pathway for green hydrogen production, yet comprehensive multi-physics simulation remains computationally prohibitive for practical design optimization. This st...
