A Stylo-Linguistic Analysis of Syntactic Complexity and Narrative Coherence in Kenyan Motorsport Commentary during the 2024 Safari Rally
The study explores the linguistic processes of motorsport commentary of the 2024 Safari Rally in Kenya, paying attention to the syntax complexity and narrative integrity as the key characteristics of spoken sports language. Based on Critical Stylistics (Jeffries, 2014), the study will examine how commentators negotiate the challenges of telling stories under real-time pressure, combining technical accuracy and appeal to the audience.

Harnessing the potential of vulnerability assessments for managing social-ecological systems
Thiault, L., S. D. Jupiter, J. E. Johnson, J. E. Cinner, R. M. Jarvis, S. F. Heron, J. M. Maina, N. A. Marshall, P. A. Marshall, and J. Claudet. 2021.

Multiscale determinants of social adaptive capacity in small-scale fishing communities
Revisiting “Success” and “Failure” of Marine Protected Areas
Marine protected areas (MPAs) form the cornerstone of marine conservation. Identifying which factors contribute to their success or failure is crucial considering the international conservation targets for 2020 and the limited funds generally available for marine conservation. We identified common factors of success and/or failure of MPA effectiveness using peer-reviewed publications and first-hand expert knowledge for 27 case studies around the …
Access to emergency hospital care provided by the public sector in sub-Saharan Africa in 2015
Background Timely access to emergency care can substantially reduce mortality. International benchmarks for access to emergency hospital care have been established to guide ambitions for universal health care by 2030. However, no Pan-African database of where hospitals are located exists; therefore, we aimed to complete a geocoded inventory of hospital services in Africa in relation to how populations might access these services in 2015, with foc…
Patterns of Forest Loss in One of Africa’s Last Remaining Wilderness Areas
Niassa National Reserve (NNR) supports Mozambique's largest populations of endangered fauna and sustains the livelihoods of > 40,000 people who utilise its natural resources. Accurately monitoring finescale spatial and temporal trends in land-use and tree-cover is increasingly used for monitoring the ecological state of conservation areas. Here we provide essential information on land-use changes in NNR to support ongoing conservation efforts in …
Vulnerability of coastal communities to key impacts of climate change on coral reef fisheries
Effects of the 1998 Coral Morality Event on Kenyan Coral Reefs and Fisheries
Data were collected in southern Kenya on coral reef ecosystems and fisheries to assess the influence of the 1998 coral bleaching and mortality event. We compared benthic cover, sea urchin and fish abundance in unfished marine parks and fished reefs and the reef-associated fisheries 3 years before and after 1998. Hard and soft coral decreased while coralline algae increased in both management areas. Turf increased in marine parks and sponge and fl…
