A mess of plastic It is not clear what strategies will be most effective in mitigating harm from the global problem pollution. Borrelle et al. and Lau discuss possible solutions their impacts. Both groups found that substantial reductions plastic-waste generation can made coming decades with immediate, concerted, vigorous action, but even best case scenario, huge quantities still accumulate environment.

Although medical providers rely on similar tools to “treat” intersex and trans individuals, their enactment of medicalization practices varies. To deconstruct these complexities, we employ a comparative analysis who specialize in medicine. While both sets tend hold essentialist ideologies about sex, gender, sexuality, argue they medicalize embodiments different ways. Providers for people are inclined approach as an emergency that necessitates attention, whereas attempt slow down patients’...
The ecological and societal impacts of plastics production, use, waste are a complex global challenge. Management strategies to mitigate the plastics, such as recycling, waste-to-energy, replacement with alternative materials have their own. Achieving long-term sustainability use therefore requires considering externalized management strategies. Here, we assessed literature on most common plastic identify in relation sustainable development goals. We reviewed bans, levies, taxes; products;...
In 2006, the official journal of American Academy Pediatrics published a consensus statement on medical management intersex traits. Like profession's first statement, revision advised against unnecessary surgical modifications. Yet, such surgeries continue in contemporary US society, despite professional stance and public critiques from activists. Relying sixty-five interviews with professionals, individuals traits, parents children, this article examines why practice continues. It then...
Cleaning up plastic pollution is one of three interventions scientists agree are necessary to address our global crisis. There much work be done curb production and improve waste management, but how can we effectively bolster public participation in cleanups achieve this lofty goal? Powered by robust scientific models, Ocean Conservancy’s Wildlife Impact Calculator tool illuminates the real-life positive impacts individual coastal on marine megafauna including sea turtles, seabirds mammals....
Marine plastic pollution has emerged as one of the most pressing environmental challenges our time. Although there been a surge in global investment for implementing interventions to mitigate pollution, little attention given cost these interventions. We developed decision support framework identify economic, social, and ecological costs benefits different sectors stakeholders. calculated net function six benefit categories with following equation: an intervention (direct, indirect,...
Cultural heritage objects present a special set of challenges to analyze chemically. Often micro-sampling or even contacting the object is not appropriate deemed too risky for fragile surfaces. Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy commonly used analytical technique organic compound identification, either in Attenuated Total Reflection (ATR) mode, both which inherently require some measure contact with sample. Presented here case study use specular reflection FTIR spectroscopy, an...
Abstract Ensuring the security of ocean ecosystems that provide food and livelihood benefits from seafood systems requires significant investment in improving sustainability fisheries aquaculture production at scale. Seafood certification ratings have established strong benchmarks for sustainability, but markets need to incentivize throughout value chain relevant ecological scales order generate meaningful conservation impacts support lasting on‐the‐water stewardship efforts. Here, we...
Over the last few decades there has been increasing concern about sustainability of wild-caught fisheries. Ecosystem-based fisheries management and use market-based instruments represent promising approaches to promote sustainable However, little is known extent which align with principles ecosystem-based management. In this paper, we evaluate seven applied against an adapted version Millennium Ecosystem Assessment typology measure how well they address marine ecosystem services. Our results...
During the Philippine-American War (1899-1902), Anti-Imperialist League was organizational vanguard of an anti-imperialist movement. Research on this period U.S. imperialism has focused empire building, ignoring gendered activity anti-imperialists in metropole. The author outlines constitutive relationship between structures and experience that informed anti-imperialists' “contentious politics,” using archival sources debates newspapers. shows how leaders informally included women's monetary...
Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) affects all races. Whether the progression of ADPKD varies by race remains unclear. In this retrospective cohort study from 2004 to 2013 non-Hispanic blacks and whites ages classified in US Renal Data System (USRDS) with incident ESRD (n = 23,647), hypertension/large vessel 296,352), or diabetes mellitus 451,760) were stratified into five-year age categories ranging < 40 > 75 (e.g., 40, 40–44, 45–49, …, 75+). The Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel...
Abstract The debates around Chinese exclusion were part of a racial reimagining the United States after Civil War. These show how Exclusion Acts “prelude to imperialism” overseas. By employing competing racisms toward migrants, disparate groups whites created contradictory stereotypes Chinese, such as “coolie” and “celestial.” Focusing on working‐class whites’ messy violent racism has contributed ignoring more paternalistic “civilized” missionaries, reformers, politicians, capitalists that...
Marine plastic pollution (MPP) has emerged as a global sustainability challenge with environmental, social, and economic consequences. This inspired action at every scale of governance—from the local level to international institutions. However, policy management efforts have been reactive ad hoc , resulting in concerns about their efficacy, cost, unintended To adequately address MPP its impacts, systematic, evidence-based approach is needed. Seascape ecology, subdiscipline landscape an...
Abstract Decision makers often cite data quality as a limitation in environmental management. Value of information approaches evaluate the benefit new collection for management outcomes. Pesticide exposure risk assessment endangered species is one context where limitations may affect decisions and value type approach could be useful identifying optimal resolution. Under U.S. Federal Insecticide, Fungicide Rodenticide Act, Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) responsible registering...
After the Spanish-American War of 1898, anti-imperialists and imperialists hotly debated whether to keep Philippines as a colony. The ‘generation’ schema, which communicated racialized views Filipinos/as their ability self-govern once they had been educated by white Americans, developed in these debates. For both anti-imperialists, schema was rooted neo-Lamarckian notions how environment (i.e. US tutelage training) could change character non-white group. Therefore, this article analyzes...
Abstract The US pesticide registration and review process requires regular re-assessment of the risk use, including to species listed under Endangered Species Act (ESA). Yet, current methods for assessment were not designed assess threats that could involve hundreds pesticides potentially impacting multiple across a continent. Thus, many remain on market without complete ESA. A promising approach address this challenge calls use high-resolution data in spatial analyses used determine...
In 2018, China enacted an import ban on twenty-four types of recyclables as part its National Sword policy, upending recycling programs across the U.S. Arizona, many municipalities have responded by significantly reducing or completely halting their programs, causing some cities to landfill recyclables. We reviewed state legislation and interviewed waste management coordinators identify key challenges opportunities for in Arizona. Informed our interviews, we call Arizona legislators (1) pass...
