Abstract
The Kunming–Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (KM–GBF) envisions a world living in harmony with nature by 2050, with 23 intermediate targets to be achieved by 2030. However, aligning international policy and national and local implementation of effective actions can be challenging. Using steppe birds, one of the most threatened vertebrate groups in Europe, as a model system, we identified 36 conservation actions for the achievement of the KM–GBF targets and we singled out—through an expert-based consensus approach—ten priority actions for immediate implementation. Three of these priority actions address at least five of the first eight KM–GBF targets, those related to the direct causes of biodiversity loss, and collectively cover all the targets when implemented concurrently. These actions include (i) effectively protecting priority areas, (ii) implementing on-the-ground habitat management actions, and (iii) improving the quality and integration of monitoring programmes. Our findings provide a blueprint for implementing effective strategies to halt biodiversity loss in steppe-like ecosystems. Our approach can be adapted to other taxonomic groups and ecosystems and has the potential to serve as a catalyst for policy-makers, prompting a transition from political commitment to tangible actions, thereby facilitating the attainment of the KM–GBF targets by 2030.

Abstract
As influencer marketing evolves into a dominant force in the marketing landscape, it necessitates a deeper theoretical exploration to understand its strategic implementations and impacts. This article examines the dynamics of influencer marketing within the growing creator economy, emphasizing the interactions among firms, influencers, followers, and digital platforms. We introduce a novel, equity-driven framework that analyzes how influencers contribute to customer equity, how influencers manage and leverage the value from their followers, and how platforms maximize the value from their users. We detail the complex relationships and value exchanges within the influencer marketing ecosystem, highlighting the challenges of measuring the return on investment and influencers’ strategic use of content to maintain authenticity and influence. By synthesizing diverse academic literature and current industry practices, this manuscript provides a comprehensive overview of the mechanisms of value creation and exchange in influencer marketing, offers strategic implications for marketers aiming to optimize their influencer engagements, and outlines future work in the form of the eleven “INFLUENCERS” research directions.
Humanitarian Nationalism During Autocratic Disaster Governance: The Politicization of the Earthquake Response in Türkiye
Authors: Bellini Cristiana , Sauter Melanie 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
What happens when humanitarian crises are managed by autocratic governments in politicized contexts? This article gives a critical reflection on the 2023 earthquake emergency response in Türkiye. Our study is based on fieldwork interviews and participant observations during the earthquake response. The earthquake shook the country a few months before a contested presidential election. Combining explanations from regime survival theories and disaster policies, we show how elected autocracies strategically contain and co-opt international disaster response mechanisms to reinforce their authority and legitimacy. Yet, international non-governmental organizations (NGOs) can maintain access to such a nationalized response through their financial superiority. We conceptualize the outcome of this nationalized earthquake response as an autocratic aid allocation funnel: a discriminatory aid distribution mechanism favoring the government’s core voter base while marginalizing minorities who lack voting rights. This demonstrates how electoral autocracies use emergencies to strengthen their power. International organizations face a dilemma: whether to provide much-needed aid while potentially becoming complicit in a regime’s unequal and politically motivated disaster response. The case shows how autocratic governments manipulate crises for political gain and exacerbate the vulnerabilities of minorities.

Abstract
Ammonia presence in water has many negative impacts including eutrophication. So, the major objective of this research was to evaluate the efficiency of microbial fuel cell (MFC) and electrochemical (ECS) systems for their removal and/or recovery from wastewater at different levels of ammonia (500 ppm, 1000 ppm, and 1500 ppm). Additionally, a novel approach was tested by using nanomaterial prepared from pomegranate peel as a coating material for the electrodes as it is abundant in many countries. Two systems were tested: Group (A) with a non-coated graphite plate anode (MFC1 and ECS1) and Group (B) which was coated with nano-graphene oxide made from pomegranate peels (MFC2 and ECS2). Results revealed that MFC1 gave the best ammonia removal efficiency reaching 96.2% when the initial concentration was 500 ppm after 13 days, and MFC2 gave maximum removal efficiency of 94.4% and 99.4% for 1000 and 1500 ppm after 19 and 25 days, respectively. COD results coincided with the removal efficiency. Electrochemical ammonia removal was carried out using two external electrical currents, 40 and 80 mA. Results showed that ECS2 gave the highest ammonia removal efficiency of 95.08% at 80 mA in case of 500 ppm, and the maximum for recovery was 80% when 1000 ppm was tested at 80 mA along with an increase in pH in the cathode chamber. Furthermore, ECS2 consumed less energy than ECS1 for ammonia recovery. ECS2 efficiently treated slaughterhouse wastewater reaching almost 100% ammonia removal; however, the maximum recovery of 44.7% occurred after 6 h, but consuming less energy than ECS1. It was evidenced that using an anode coated with nanographene oxide provided dual benefits of quickness and effective ammonia removal and/or recovery and provisioning energy requirements.

Abstract
It is imperative that composite systems with high performance, low-cost, enhanced simplicity, and scalability be developed in order to convert and store energy. This, however, has been a challenging endeavor throughout the years. In this study, we present a cost-effective, efficient, scale-up-friendly, and environmentally friendly method of producing in situ sandwich layers of ZnO-CuO composite between NiCo2O4 nanostructures and nickel foam using lemon peel extract (LPE) during hydrothermal processes. NiCo2O4/ZnO-CuO/nickel foam was analyzed using powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). According to XRD and HRTEM studies of NiCo2O4/ZnO-CuO/nickel foam, NiCo2O4, ZnO, and CuO exhibit cubic, hexagonal, and monoclinic phases, respectively. With NiCo2O4/ZnO-CuO/nickel foam as the active anode electrode, an asymmetric supercapacitor has been developed in an alkaline solution of 3 M KOH. At a low current density of 2 Ag−1, the asymmetric supercapacitor exhibited a high specific capacitance of 3614.8 F g−1, a power density of 1549.2 W kg−1, and an energy density of 75.3 Wh kg−1. Upon repeatable 40,000 galvanic charge–discharge cycles, the asymmetric device demonstrated a high specific capacitance retention percentage of approximately 100 to 95 and a columbic efficiency of 98%. Moreover, NiCo2O4/ZnO-CuO/nickel foam composite had a low overpotential of 210 mV at 40 mA cm−2 and a Tafel slope of 70 mV dec−1 for OER in 1 M KOH. During continuous OER measurements over a period of 40 h, NiCo2O4/ZnO-CuO/nickel foam composites demonstrated high durability and stability. NiCo2O4/ZnO-CuO/nickel foam exhibits good electrochemical performance as a result of its synergetic effects, its high conductivity, its abundant exposed catalytic sites, its oxygen vacancies, and its high durability.

Published: January 2025

Abstract
This study investigates the interrelationship between shaft voltage (SV) and AC copper loss (ACCL) based on design variables that influence both characteristics. In previous works, issues with SV and ACCL have been reported in electric vehicle propulsion motors operating at high speeds. While methods to individually reduce these characteristics are well established, the correlation between them with respect to design variables has not yet been explored. To analyze this correlation, an analysis of the equations related to parasitic capacitances and ACCL is conducted to identify the key design variables affecting both SV and ACCL. These variables include the distance between the winding and the rotor, slot opening width, and winding width. Based on these design variables, a correlation analysis is conducted to confirm how these characteristics change simultaneously, and the results are verified through finite element analysis. Finally, an optimization process is implemented to minimize SV and ACCL while achieving the target average torque. The results are validated experimentally.
Performance study of building cooling system composed of photovoltaic panels, phase change material, and thermoelectric cooler: impact of its orientation
Authors: Ahmed Hossam A. , Nada Sameh , Hassan Hamdy 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
This paper presents an implementation of a cooling system within a room wall, combining a photovoltaic panel outside the wall, two layers of phase change material embedded in the wall, and a thermoelectric cooling (TEC) system inside the wall. The objective of this work is to substitute the conventional air conditioning system with an environmentally friendly one powered only by solar energy. In addition, A comparison is made between using the PV panel, PV with PCM, and the proposed cooling system. The phase change materials layers are employed; one is to absorb the heat from the thermo-electric system to enhance the cooling performance, and the other is to cool the photovoltaic (PV) panel. A detailed mathematical model of the systems is created, solved using numerical methods, and then validated. The overall system, including PV, PCM, and TEC, substitutes one wall or the roof, so the investigation is conducted to assess the performance of the TEC cooling system when the overall system replaces the west, east, north, and south walls, as well as the roof. The results of this study indicate that the most effective performance of the TEC cooling system is obtained when it is installed on the roof, with a maximum PV power output of 857 W, indoor temperature reduction of 17.5 °C, and maximum system COP of 6. The lowest obtained indoor temperature is 19.8 for the east wall system, while this value is 20.42 and 26.7 °C in the case of roof and west cooling systems, respectively. The minimum coefficient of performance of the cooling system is 2, 1.9, and 4.34 for the east, roof, and west systems. This studied cooling system proves its ability to be competitive with conventional air conditioning systems.
Certifying ‘not yet sustainable’ fisheries—the uncertain journey to global best practice
Authors: Baumgartner Urs , Fry Andrew , Atkinson Sophie 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
The Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) aims to drive the adoption of sustainable practices in fisheries through the marketing of certified sustainable products. For certification, a fishery needs to achieve ‘global best practice’ ratings in each of the three core principles. However, for individual assessment criteria, a score of 60, representing ‘minimum acceptable levels’ is possible. In such a case, fisheries get certified with conditions linked to actions that, according to the MSC’s theory of change, will help them achieve best practice levels across all criteria within the terms of certification. We reviewed the publicly available MSC certification reports of all fisheries and units of certification (UoC) to evaluate the extent of the spread of certification with conditions under the MSC certification scheme and whether improvements have been achieved within the stipulated time frame. Our results show that most fisheries do not meet global best practices across all criteria at first certification. Additionally, in contradiction to the MSC Standard’s requirements, only a minority of all UoC improve to achieve this requirement within the first certification cycle. A third of all UoC carry conditions into the second certification cycle, while a fifth withdraw from certification or are suspended. We argue that conditional certification may contradict the theory of change of the MSC. Rather than driving the adoption of fishing practices in line with global best practices, conditional certification may become a hindrance. Enjoying the same market access privileges as fisheries with no conditions, affected fisheries appear to not improve to best practice levels within a timely manner. While our study did not investigate the underlying reasons or what the implications are for the environment, we recommend further investigation. Insights into these aspects could help strengthen the MSC certification program and might contribute to regaining its credibility.
Reforming Art in Renaissance Venice
Authors: Lillywhite Marie-Louise 
Published: January 2025

The spiritual turmoil of the sixteenth century had a profound impact on religious life throughout Italy. Art and architecture were directly implicated in the seismic historical events of the age, as the Catholic Church countered Protestant iconoclasm through the embrace of sacred images as decreed by the Council of Trent in 1563. In this volume, Marie-Louise Lillywhite considers the impact of religious reform on the devotional art and architecture of sixteenth-century Venice. Interrogating early modern censorship, artistic liberty, notions of decorum tied to depictions of the body, and the role of sacred images in the shaping of local identity, she shows how Venice, a crossroads city exposed to a rich gamut of religious and artistic currents, serves as a fascinating case study through which to explore these themes. Her study reconstructs the conditions that enabled artistic invention to prevail and how artists became interpreters of spiritual values.
The Digital Silk Road: “Tech-Diplomacy” as a Paradigm for Understanding Technological Adoption and Emerging Digital Regulations in MENA
Authors: Dahdal Andrew Mazen , Abdel Ghafar Adel 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
The Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) is a Chinese infrastructure and investment project launched in 2013 that seeks to link China with over 70 countries through transport, communication, and trading networks. The BRI consists of building and construction projects including railways, ports, roads, and other vital trade infrastructure. Importantly, the BRI also includes the establishment of a new “Digital Silk Road” (DSR) enhancing digital connectivity using the latest 5G high bandwidth, low latency mobile and satellite technology. In 2019, several Western states (notably USA, Australia, Canada, and the UK) banned Chinese telecommunications technology companies, such as Huawei, from rolling out 5G networks in their respective jurisdictions. The purported basis for the bans were security concerns over the ability of the Chinese government to control and potentially intercept communications over the Huawei systems. In the MENA region, no such bans have been adopted and the DSR is proceeding to connect MENA economies to China at a rapid pace. This places MENA countries in a precarious position between strategic links with the US as the global hegemon with a strategic interest in the region, and the emerging Chinese global political and economic order. The regulation of digital communication technologies is one dimension where legal frameworks must be designed with care and discernment to balance competing geopolitical forces. This article seeks to answer the question of how best to understand the legal regulation of new technologies in the MENA region and argues that the conceptual lens of “Tech-diplomacy” helps to provide such an understanding. In addition to privacy-centric, security-centric, and growth-centric philosophical and jurisprudential approaches to understanding data regulation, the predicament of the MENA region is a case study in how geopolitics can also inform our understanding of tech regulation.
Solvable constraints and unsolvable limits to global climate adaptation in coastal Indigenous food security

Published: January 2025

Abstract
Coastal systems are a major source of food for Indigenous communities. Climate change poses a high risk to coastal communities’ food security. Successful climate change adaptation practices are essential to ensure food security among Indigenous peoples. Yet, limits and constraints challenge climate change adaptation practices. Our study seeks to identify these limits and constraints in the context of food security among coastal Indigenous peoples. We performed a global scale systematic literature review using 155 scholarly articles to examine the constraints and limits to climate adaptation in the coastal food security and Indigenous peoples’ context. The three research questions are as follows: (i) What are the key constraints? (ii) What are the limits? (iii) What are the ways of overcoming the constraints? First, we found that, globally, the main constraints to adapting to climate change in coastal food security settings are related to governance, institutions and policies. Second, most limits are soft, to be solved, compared to hard limits on coastal systems. Third, we unveiled ways of overcoming the constraints, such as restoring coastal food system resilience, improving food accessibility and building the adaptive capacity of Indigenous peoples. The findings of the study provide valuable insights for policymakers, researchers and other relevant stakeholders involved in decision-making regarding coastal food security in the climate change adaptation context.

Abstract

Introduction:
Despite the central role that patient and community engagement plays in translational science and health equity research, there remain significant institutional barriers for researchers and their community partners to engage in this work meaningfully and sustainably. The goal of this paper is to describe the process and outcomes of Engage for Equity PLUS at Stanford School of Medicine, which was aimed at understanding and addressing institutional barriers and facilitators for community-engaged research (CEnR).

Methods:
A Stanford champion team of four faculty and two community partners worked with the University of New Mexico team to conduct two workshops (n = 26), focus groups (n = 2), interviews with leaders (n = 4), and an Institutional Multi-Stakeholder Survey (n = 35). These data were employed for action planning to identify strategies to build institutional support for CEnR.

Results:
Findings revealed several key institutional barriers to CEnR, such as the need to modify organizational policies and practices to expedite and simplify CEnR administration, silos in collaboration, and the need for capacity building. Facilitators included several offices devoted to and engaging in innovative CEnR efforts. Based on these findings, action planning resulted in three priorities: 1) Addressing IRB barriers, 2) Addressing barriers in post-award policies and procedures, and 3) Increasing training in CEnR within Stanford and for community partners.

Conclusions:
Addressing institutional barriers is critical for Academic Medical Centers and their partners to meaningfully and sustainably engage in CEnR. The Engage for Equity PLUS process offers a roadmap for Academic Medical Centers with translational science and health equity goals.
Covering gonality of symmetric products of curves and Cayley–Bacharach condition on Grassmannians
Authors: Bastianelli Francesco , Picoco Nicola 
Published: January 2025

AbstractGiven an irreducible projective variety X, the covering gonality of X is the least gonality of an irreducible curve
$E\subset X$
passing through a general point of X. In this paper, we study the covering gonality of the k-fold symmetric product
$C^{(k)}$
of a smooth complex projective curve C of genus
$g\geq k+1$
. It follows from a previous work of the first author that the covering gonality of the second symmetric product of C equals the gonality of C. Using a similar approach, we prove the same for the
$3$
-fold and the
$4$
-fold symmetric product of C.A crucial point in the proof is the study of the Cayley–Bacharach condition on Grassmannians. In particular, we describe the geometry of linear subspaces of
$\mathbb {P}^n$
satisfying this condition, and we prove a result bounding the dimension of their linear span.
