Summary: This study assessed the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on South African wildlife ranches, agricultural farms, and protected areas. It found that diversified and mixed business models showed greater adaptive capacity. Protected areas experienced the greatest revenue loss, while agricultural farms were less affected.

Summary: This study investigated the mediating role of attitudes towards science in the relationship between COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy and psychosocial predictors in the U.S., such as political ideology, religiosity, reactance proneness, dogmatism, perceived communal ostracism, education, and socioeconomic status. The results revealed four factors in people's attitudes towards science: epistemic confidence, belief in the benefits of science and technology, trust in science in general, and trust in medical science. Low levels of trust in medical science and low epistemic confidence fully mediated the relationships between most psychosocial factors and vaccine hesitancy, with political conservatism partially mediating this association. Trust in science in general was not a significant mediator once all four facets were considered. These findings contribute to understanding the complex role of attitudes towards science in COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy.

Summary: Children in South Africa face additional challenges such as high unemployment rates, violence, poverty, HIV/AIDS, and orphanhood. Understanding how children adapt to their environments and become resilient in the face of adversity is crucial. Resilience research aims to understand the mechanisms and processes that enable individuals to recover from adversity. It is important to translate this research into practice for professionals working with children.
