Research on sustainability transitions has expanded rapidly in the last ten years, diversified in terms of topics and geographical applications, and deepened with respect to theories and methods. This article provides an extensive review and an updated research agenda for the field, classified into nine main themes: understanding transitions; power, agency and politics; governing transitions; civil society, culture and social movements; businesses and industries; transitions in practice and everyday life; geography of transitions; ethical aspects; and methodologies. The review shows that the scope of sustainability transitions research has broadened and connections to established disciplines have grown stronger. At the same time, we see that the grand challenges related to sustainability remain unsolved, calling for continued efforts and an acceleration of ongoing transitions. Transition studies can play a key role in this regard by creating new perspectives, approaches and understanding and helping to move society in the direction of sustainability.

Abstract Barriers to dog vaccination in Tanzania in general, and in Kilosa District in particular, are not well understood. Therefore, this study sought to address the following research question: What are the multilevel barriers to the vaccination of dogs against rabies in Kilosa District? Guided by a socioecological model, the study explored the barriers to dog vaccination at multiple levels within the Kilosa District context. A case study design employing a qualitative research approach was used. Data were collected through focus group discussions (FGDs) and in-depth interviews to investigate contextual barriers to dog vaccination. The collected data were analyzed using a thematic analysis approach. The results are organized according to the levels of the socioecological model. At the individual level, barriers include limited literacy about rabies and dog rabies vaccination; low perceived risk of rabies transmission; low prioritization of dog vaccination in household financial decisions; and uncertainty regarding the cost of dog vaccination. At the organizational/health system level, barriers include fragmented provision of rabies-related health education, reactive rather than proactive sensitization efforts, and limited communication channels, primarily relying on loudspeaker announcements. At the community level, barriers include misconceptions about protection against rabies and mistrust in political leadership. In conclusion, Rabies vaccination uptake in Kilosa District is constrained by multilevel barriers. Individually, limited knowledge, low risk perception, and financial uncertainty reduce prioritization of dog vaccination. Organizational barriers include fragmented health education, weak cross-sector coordination, and reactive communication. At the community level, logistical challenges, absence of By-Laws, persistent misconceptions, and political mistrust further limit vaccination coverage.

Porphyridium cruentum has advantages in pigments and exopolysaccharides, so it has the potential to be developed in the food, pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and cosmetic industries. Porphyridium cruentum cultivation media uses synthetic and indoors, causing high costs. This study aims to determine the growth performance of Porphyridium cruentum in different mediums and method of cultivation. The research methods used cultivating Porphyridium cruentum for 7 days with four treatments, namely indoors Guillard media (IGM), outdoors Guillard media (OGM), indoors fertilizer media (IFM), and outdoors fertilizer media (OFM. Each treatment had three replications. Growth was identified using an optical density spectrophotometer uv-vis, gravimetrically dried weight of biomass and pH adjustment during 7 days of cultivation. The result shows the best growth performance in IFM, followed by IGM, OFM, and OGM. Fertilizer media is better for the growth of Porphyridium cruentum than Guillard media. pH growth Porphyridium cruentum during cultivation 7-7.5. Indoor cultivation is better than outdoor cultivation. The highest biomass was IFM, which had the best performance in IFM with OD 0.247, pH 7, and biomass 79.6%.

A través de distintas formas de comprender la expresión “derecho a la filosofía”, Jacques Derrida, en el texto Privilegio o del Derecho a la Filosofía, abre perspectivas sobre la idea de la filosofía como derecho. A modo de ejercicio interpretativo, el presente trabajo busca profundizar sobre la idea misma de la filosofía como derecho desde la perspectiva de la enseñanza de la filosofía. Inicialmente, distingue entre la forma adverbial del término “derecho” y su forma sustantiva. Invirtiendo el centro de atención, consideramos también el enlace expresado como “filosofía del derecho” (filosofía genitiva). La forma adverbial y la forma sustantiva, a su turno, permiten identificar dos registros de la discusión: la crítica a las instituciones y la crítica a la filosofía como saber. Tras estas distinciones, el artículo se aproxima a las formas de positivización del derecho en instituciones educativas. Buscamos sostener que comprender la filosofía como derecho lleva a pensar de nuevo la enseñanza, ya no como proceso de instrucción inerte, sino como posibilidad del pensar filosófico. El escrito se acompaña de ejemplos sobre el caso colombiano, en donde, durante los años 2023 y 2024, se trabajó para que la filosofía fuera establecida como derecho en la legislación nacional.

The question of resource constraints is an issue for all industrialized, developed and developing countries. Therefore, saving on fossil energy consumption and sustainable development have become very important and common issues internationally. So as to conserve energy resources, prevent contamination of the land and the environment, reduce fossil energy use and co-exist with natural and state-of-the-art environments, one of the most important measures in architecture and urban planning, and the architects and urban planners have to adhere to the principles and rules. Special in the field of construction. Over the years, various guidelines, standards, and standards have been developed to optimize energy consumption in buildings, including the most noteworthy metrics today (LEED). The purpose of the present study is to identify the causal pattern of environmental sustainability principles based on the Leid's Code. The present study is of applied purpose and of descriptive-analytical method. The statistical population of this study consisted of Qom architects and experts. The sample size was 25 individuals. In order to achieve the purpose of the study, fuzzy DEMATEL model was used. The results of this study showed that amongst the biodiversity sustainability criteria based on the Leading Model of the Sustainable Site Criterion was identified as the most influential criterion and the Regional Priority and Innovation Criteria in the design as the most influential criterion. Energy, climate and water efficiency and indoor air quality of materials and materials were also identified as intermediate criteria.

Abstract Crowdfunding has become important in increasing financial support for the development of green technologies. Self-disclosed information significantly affects supporters’ decisions and is important for the success of green project funding. However, current studies still lack investigations into the impact of information disclosure on green crowdfunding performance. This research aims to fill this knowledge gap by exploring eight information disclosure-relevant factors in green crowdfunding performance. Applying machine learning techniques (e.g., Natural Language Processing and Computer Vision) and logistic regression, this study investigates 720 green crowdfunding campaigns on GoFundMe and empirically finds that the duration, length of campaign introductions, and length of the title influence fundraising outcomes. However, no evidence supports the impact of goal size, emotion of campaign introduction, or image content on funding success. This study clarifies the information disclosure-related data that green crowdfunding campaigns should consider and provides founders with a constructive guide to smoothly raise money for a green crowdfunding campaign. This study also contributes to data processing methods by providing future studies with an approach for transferring unstructured data to structured data.

According to the UN's Sustainable Development Agenda, to effectively achieve sustainable development, strategies for building economic growth should also address social needs, including access to essential services. Sustainable integrated management of water resources for both primary use and energy production is crucial, especially in territories such as the Amazonian State of Pará, where a primary good like fresh water is also the main source of electricity. However, the territorial transformations occurring in Pará over installing new hydroelectric plants have jeopardised local development. This was mainly caused by the top-down approach underlying national strategic projects that have paid little attention to local needs, thus paving the way for detrimental conditions for implementing the UN's 2030 Agenda. This paper aims to analyse the relationship between a municipality's level of development and quality of life and the most relevant key determinants of sustainable development in Pará. To this end, we consider a spatial regression analysis, with particular attention devoted to the role of access to both energy and water. The presence of significant spillover effects implies that providing public services on a geographically broad basis could induce self-reinforcing benefits.

Introduction and objective: Treatment with antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) is frequently used all around the world. Just like in the course of all the drugs administration, side effects may appear, including characteristic side effects presenting on the skin. The aim of the study was to analyse adverse skin reactions to antiepileptic drugs, focusing on their epidemiology, symptoms and treatment. Methods: Databases including PubMed and Google Scholar were browsed using keywords. Description of the state of knowledge: The majority of adverse skin reactions (ASRs) constitute mild rashes and urticaria, however in about 10% cases severe reactions may occur, which can be life-threatening. They include Drug Reaction with Eosinophilia and Systemic Symptoms (DRESS), Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS), Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis (TEN), Serum Sickness and Serum Sickness - like Reactions and Drug Induced Vasculitis. In the course of TEN mortality rates are highest, however all reactions can be dangerous and treatment should be applied immediately. In mild and moderate cases drug withdrawal is usually sufficient, however more severe cases need to be treated with immunosuppressive agents. Summary: The awareness about possible adverse effects and their treatment is crucial as some can be life-threatening and immediate therapy increases the chance of recovery.

Multi-species bacteria in biofloc fish farming systems are used as an effective way to decompose nitrogen waste. Snakehead (Channa striata Bloch, 1793) fish farmers require biofloc bacteria to improve growth performance. This research aims to easily evaluate the multi-species biofloc bacteria consisting of Lysinibacillus fusiformis, Bacillus sp., and Bacillus subtilis and their application on snakehead fish. The bacterial density tests on molasses mounting media in indoor and outdoor hatcheries were done. The research location was at the multi-species hatchery, aquaculture environment, and toxicology research installation. The experiment fish used was snakehead fish with a length ranging from 12-15 cm and a stocking density of 15 fish per container. The fish parameters measured were total length (cm) and average body weight (g). Water quality parameters: temperature, pH, DO, nitrite, nitrate, and ammonia. The parameter measurement of bacteria was the growth number, and floc bacteria was measured on volume. An application test in a laboratory scale was done with probiotic stocking doses: A (2 mL L-1 probiotic), B (4 mL L-1 probiotic), C (6 mL L-1 probiotic), and D (control, 0 mL L-1 probiotic. The results show the best dose in applying snakehead fish culture with biofloc was 4 mL L-1.
