The purpose of this paper is to examine the process where sugar companies in Taiwan fell surrounding farmlands under their control.

The need to feed livestock of herdsmen necessitates their migration from their communities due to inadequate pastures to other communities and this has led to the trespass of these pastoralists to the farmlands of local agriculturalists and destruction of their crops thereby leading to conflict. This study therefore analyses the causes, evolution, dynamics and solutions to the conflicts generat...

ure from Greek mythology for nearly 3 millennia. Central to his myth is the story cycle about the 12 presumably impossible labors he carried out for the loathed King Eurystheus. Sometimes overlooked is that Hercules performed those tasks as penance for having murdered his own wife and children during a fit of madness. For the fourth labor, Eurystheus ordered Hercules to capture the vicious Erym...

Conjugated polymer photocatalysts have received extensive attention in the field of photocatalytic hydrogen evolution owing to their tunable molecular structures and electronic properties. Herein, we developed three donor-acceptor (D-A) type thiophene-containing narrow-band-gap conjugated polymers with pyrene as a donor different fused-thiophene derivatives acceptors via direct C-H arylation co...

A network of connected wetlands supports migratory movements waterfowl. These networks are rapidly changing due to intensive human activities around natural habitats. Quantifying how anthropogenic factors change waterfowl via a reduction habitat availability and quality can facilitate better understanding the dynamics these migration networks, provide early-warning signals for collapse. Using s...

Soil organic carbon (SOC) and total nitrogen (TN) stock are key indicators of soil quality in tropical regions; however, their status is often degraded, especially due to massive deforestation natural forest areas associated with extensive agricultural land use. The aim this study was investigate the dynamics SOC TN different land-use systems Abobo woreda, Western Ethiopia. To analyze status, 8...

Agriculture is one of the most important and possibly the oldest economic activity developed by humans and it is becoming increasingly dependent on development of technologies (Alexandre, 2009). Agriculture in Africa is a subsistent, low technology and low-performing one which requires reduced drudgery and increased commercialization. For crop production, farmlands are cleared using cutlass and...
