Since Wakefield, Murch, Anthony, Linnell, Casson, Malik, Berelowitz, Dhillon, Thomson, Harvey, Valentine, Davies and Walker-Smith’s (1998) proposed a causal link between the MMR vaccine and autism and Crohn’s disease (a form of irritable bowel disease: IBD), vaccine uptake rates gradually declined in the UK. Parents of young children began to question the safety of MMR immunisation and were req...

The automation of meta-theoretic aspects of formal systems typically requires the treatment of syntactically complex objects. Thus, programs must be represented and manipulated by program development systems, mathematical expressions by computer-based algebraic systems, and logic formulas and proofs by automatic proof systems and proof assistants. The notion of bound variables plays an importan...

This research focuses on the use of the Tablet PC in education. The research explores the development of the Tablet PC and introduces the Classroom Presenter software. Implementation efforts of both the Tablet PC and the Classroom Presenter software at Coastal Carolina University are explored. INTRODUCTION The Tablet PC is a portable computer with functional capabilities beyond those of a tradi...

The COVID-19 pandemic was a major driver of global change. It has also made possible an unprecedented large-scale field experiment to test the effects human mobility on wildlife ecology and behaviour (Rutz et al., 2020). Sanitary measures tackling spread SARS-CoV-2 curtailed movement world-wide (Bates 2020), reducing disturbance for animals, set rapid responses from were recorded soon after imp...

Conflicts between the interests of livestock production and those wild herbivore conservation are an increasing global challenge.Addressing these conflicts is hindered by a poor understanding key underlying social ecological drivers.In particular, there need to reconcile real perceived costs–benefits livestock–wild interactions. This includes better how interactions vary across migration ranges...

Such serious implications highlight the importance of focusing research and public policy on improving understanding negative direct human–nature interactions, taking a more balanced view benefits costs nature experiences, developing appropriate mitigation strategies.

The drivers of open, grass-dominated, wood-pastures and heathlands in the temperate zone Europe have been debated since long (Birks, 2005; Bobek et al., 2017; Bond, Feurdean 2018; Hejcman 2013; Mitchell, Svenning, 2002; Vera, 2000). These types habitats generally referred to as ‘man-made ecosystems’ resulting from anthropogenic fire livestock grazing regimes, dating back early Neolithic culture...

A free Plain Language Summary can be found within the Supporting Information of this article. Various conceptual approaches have been developed to understand and analyse processes transition or transformation in society (Patterson et al., 2017). Among them, social-ecological systems (SESs) are complex integrated which humans part nature (Berkes & Folke, 1998). SESs dynamic, changes occur across...
