Modeling material flow dynamics in coupled natural‐industrial ecosystems for resilience to climate change: A case study on a soybean‐based industrial ecosystem
Industrial ecosystems are coupled with natural systems, which causes the material flow dynamics in the network to be affected by the mechanistic dynamics of each node. However, current material flow dynamics studies do not capture these mechanistic and nonlinear dynamics to evaluate material flows in networks, thus missing its role in designing resilient industrial ecosystems. In this work, we present a methodology to overcome this limitation and…
Modelling potential environmental and socio-economic impacts of substituting livestock meat with soy-based meat substitutes
Plant-based meat substitutes are becoming increasingly popular as an alternate protein source. We used input-output analysis to model the environmental and socio-economic impacts of transitioning to soy-based meat substitutes to replace macronutrients lost from reductions in livestock meat consumption. We found that soy-based meat substitutes can be macronutrient replacements for livestock meat with significant environmental benefits mostly in re…

In response to this pressing issue, the present study endeavored to address bullying among secondary-level students by implementing a Bullying Intervention M…
Continuing Security Council Resolution 1325 in India: Thinking Feminist Foreign Policy
As a middle-ranking power that projects its vision internationally and aspires for global recognition, India is embedded in its specific traditions and presents itself as a voice of the Global South. India promotes dialogue as opposed to confrontation and has from the highest level stated ‘this is not the time for war’. Peace as rhetoric and practice constitutes a feminist principle. In the light of this positioning, what would a feminist foreign…

Populism and foreign policy: India's refugee policy towards the Rohingya
In this article, we investigate how India's refugee policy towards the Rohingya is implicated in the (re)production of the Bharatiya Janata Party's (BJP) populist project. We enhance an innovative contextual intersectional framework, drawing on Ernesto Laclau's conceptualization of populism as a political logic and build on Shweta Singh and Élise Féron's understanding of this populist logic as discursively co-constituted and based on varying inte…
IoT-Based Federated Learning Model for Hypertensive Retinopathy Lesions Classification
Traditional classification algorithms struggle to categorize hypertensive retinopathy (HR) lesions correctly because they lack obvious characteristics. A regional IoT-enabled federated learning-based HR categorization approach (IoT-FHR) incorporating global and local attributes is suggested as a solution to this issue. The local feature arterial and venous nicking (AVN) classification model is fused with the overall IoT-FHR classification model t…

Y chromosome diversity among the Iranian religious groups: A reservoir of genetic variation
The results of this study may suggest that the Assyrian population either experienced Eurasian gene flow (possibly from Armenia) or that enforced relocations and expulsion of conquered people with different origin led to the integration of descendants with R haplogroup. This could also be due to genetic drift due to small population size and endogamy resulting from religious barriers

Cost of reactive nitrogen release from human activities to the environment in the United States
Leakage of reactive nitrogen (N) from human activities to the environment can cause human health and ecological problems. Often these harmful effects are not reflected in the costs of food, fuel, and fiber that derive from N use. Spatial analyses of damage costs attributable to source at management-relevant scales could inform decisions in areas where anthropogenic N leakage causes harm. We used recently compiled data describing N inputs in the c…
