Marine litter is an important and worldwide concern that should be deeper analysed. It also requires information from all over the world especially in less studied areas like small islands developing states, e.g., Windward Islands of Eastern Caribbean. This study analyses issue marine English-speaking using Driver-Pressure-State-Impact-Response (DPSIR) framework. The research based on a bibliog...

BACKGROUND Previous studies have postulated an association between dentate nucleus T1 hyperintensity and multiple sclerosis (MS)-related progressive neurodegeneration. Therefore, MS patients have been excluded from most studies investigating brain deposition of gadolinium-based contrast agents (GBCAs). OBJECTIVE To study the hypothesis that dentate nucleus T1 hyperintensity in MS patients is ...

Implementing long-term monitoring programs that effectively inform conservation plans is a top priority in environmental management. In floodplain forests, historical pressures interplay with the complex multiscale dynamics of fluvial systems and require integrative approaches to pinpoint drivers for their deterioration and ecosystem services loss. Combining a conceptual framework such as the D...

The drivers–pressures–state–impact–responses (DPSIR) framework has been used widely to support environmental policy developments. However, we argue that DPSIR tends oversimplify the complexity behind socio-ecological systems. Based on Katari River Basin in Bolivia, explore how incorporation of spatial and social considerations may enhance applications. results reveal a mismatch between driving ...

The rise of emerging markets is restructuring the global economic and social landscape. It requires a new paradigm of global innovation strategy to meet this challenge. After reviewing possible trends in today’s world, it is suggested that the objective of innovation is to create an inclusive-and-sustainable future. To achieve this goal, this paper is concerned with the use of the Problem Struc...

The rapid global increase in Special Economic Zones (SEZs) raises concerns regarding potential impacts on the environment, especially water use intensity, an increased risk of natural disasters, and elevated greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. However, studies examining these are limited. Therefore, aim this paper is to examine influence SEZ development factors flooding, scarcity, GHG emissions usi...
