Summary: This study investigated regulatory responses supporting the recovery of two endangered species native to Australia through the integration of a DPSIR model, quantitative text mining, and qualitative analysis. The research found that although key components of the DPSIR model were present in the institutional framework, there were institutional gaps in the protection and recovery of the Eastern Bristlebird.

Summary: This article introduces mankind's dependence on nitrogen and the research progress on the positive and negative effects of nitrogen in the environment. The importance of integrating ecological principles into agro-ecosystem management is emphasized, and the author suggests that as individuals and as a society, we have the capability to learn from nature and apply ecological rules.

Summary: The study of ancient human dental calculus is increasingly important in osteoarchaeology, human palaeoecology, and environmental archaeology. Micro-remains and biomolecules retrieved from dental calculus can provide important insights into the past human-environment relationship. However, their connection to skeletal remains is often incomplete. This paper critically reviews the evidence from dental calculus and explores its potential and limitations in relation to osteoarchaeological parameters.

Summary: Despite the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the definitive animal host for SARS-CoV-2 remains unknown, highlighting the importance of vouchering practices and collaborating with natural history collections to archive microbiological samples and host specimens. By integrating vouchering techniques and archiving microbiological samples into host-pathogen studies, researchers can foster collaborations and advance One Health initiatives to address a range of related issues.

Summary: This article argues that there is an international turn in the study of far-right politics, which posits the international as constitutive of far-right politics and offers new ways of understanding it. The article analyzes the shared critique and innovations of this international turn, and proposes a method to overcome its limitations.

Summary: Risk curves provide more information than risk quotients but are not widely adopted in ecological risk assessment. The Ecotoxicity Risk Calculator (ERC) was developed to simplify the derivation of risk curves for informing risk management decisions. Case studies with crop protection products demonstrate the utility of the ERC in incorporating various data sources.

Summary: In recent years, studies on heavy metal air pollution have expanded to include chemical fractionation of potentially toxic elements in airborne particles. This review summarizes articles published in the past three decades, focusing on atmospheric aerosol sampling, sample pretreatment, sequential extraction schemes, and conditions of individual extractions. The geochemical forms of metals in urban air are analyzed in detail. A compilation of chemical distribution patterns of various toxic metals is provided based on data from three sequential extraction procedures. The health risks posed by inhaling atmospheric particles containing these elements are estimated for polluted urban areas with different levels of contamination.

Summary: This article proposes a critical approach to studying chemsex, advocating for a shift from the risk paradigm and exploring its cultural dimensions, as well as focusing on pleasure and its impact on gay identity. It also suggests future directions for research, including investigating national and regional differences in chemsex culture and addressing the under-representation of women, transgender, and non-binary individuals in existing literature.

Summary: The study highlights the importance of integrating local knowledge in climate change policy-making, while also addressing power dynamics and authority issues. Farmers' discourses appear to align with policy narratives on the surface, but challenge core assumptions of national and international climate change adaptation policies at a fundamental narrative level.

Summary: The development sector has predominantly focused on a static and apolitical framing of women's empowerment. This article proposes the inclusion of a new variable, the will to change, to reintroduce dynamic and political processes in framing and measuring empowerment. The study analyzes the influence of critical consciousness on women's will to change the status quo, as well as the role of visible agency, social structures, and individual determinants in these processes. Findings show that women with higher visible agency and critical consciousness are more willing to gain agency in certain empowerment domains. This analysis advances the understanding of empowerment processes and supports the design of development programs and improvement of measurement tools.

Summary: To achieve sustainability, we must understand how social-ecological systems respond to different governance structures and consider their historical, institutional, political, and power conditions. Our study combines the networks of action situations approach with a polycentric power typology and the concept of discursive power to analyze the conditions in social-ecological system traps. Using the Donana estuary-delta as a case study, we examine the governance mechanisms that prevent further degradation in the system, but also the coordination failures and power dynamics that pose a risk of regime shift and suppression of system functions.
