Objective: This research aims to critically evaluate the current state of knowledge on green criminology and environmental laws, identifying the conceptual, normative and institutional limitations associated with the complexity of crimes against nature. Theoretical Framework: The research is based on Green Criminology, which broadens the definition of crime to include environmental damage that is not legally classified as such. It adopts an ecocentric approach, criticizing the traditional legalistic model and penal selectivity. It integrates issues such as ecological justice, colonialism, capitalism and organized crime. Method: The method used in this study is an Integrated Literature Review, which involved formulating a guiding question, selecting scientific articles published between 2020 and 2025 in databases such as the CAPES Journals Portal and the Web of Science, and evaluating the results. The publications were systematically evaluated based on a combination of keywords, and the results were organized into theoretical perspectives that could be used to tackle environmental crimes. Results and Discussion: The investigation revealed structural errors in environmental legislation, such as the disproportionate nature of penalties, the lack of up-to-date definitions and the ineffectiveness in holding economic actors to account. Green Criminology has emerged as a theoretical and practical framework for the study of crime that replaces the legalistic model, combining ecological justice with criticism of the state and capitalism. The ideas have been organized around proposals that include legislative changes, integrated governance and institutional strengthening. Research Implications: The research promotes Green Criminology as a critical and environmentally-oriented paradigm, expanding the definition of crime beyond legal boundaries. In practice, it advocates legislative changes, institutional integration and evidence-based public policies to deal with complex environmental crimes. It also highlights the need for technical training and ecological justice as means for effective environmental management. Originality/Value: The study's conclusions highlight the need to reform environmental laws and government policies in relation to environmental crimes. The research reinforces the value of Green Criminology as a crucial tool in interpreting ecological damage and creating more effective public strategies. It also highlights the need to integrate environmental justice, anti-cancer initiatives and institutional reform.

Objective: To analyze the international scientific production in the field of entrepreneurial action. Method: To investigate the theme of entrepreneurial action, the bibliometric method was used to fulfill the desired purposes. In the operationalization of the research, articles available in the Web of Science and Scopus databases were included. The database selection procedure was carried out by analyzing the documents using the software: My EndNote Web, Microsoft Excel and VOSviewer. Results: It was possible to identify the scarcity of compassionate research on the subject, in addition to the fact that little is known about the emergence of an entrepreneurial action and how, in fact, this research axis can contribute to studies on entrepreneurship. Theoretical contributions: It was identified that there are promising studies on the subject that made possible the exchange of the concept of entrepreneurial action and the different areas of knowledge through the construction of a synthesis matrix. Relevance/originality: The field of entrepreneurial action is still incipient and requires greater efforts towards a theoretical and empirical development, in order to establish and contribute to the construction of a very limited and defined conceptual structure about the phenomenon. Contributions to management: Studies on entrepreneurial action are directly related to case studies that report the emergence of entrepreneurial actions in organizations, which emphasizes the concentration of work in the areas of management and business.

In the summer of 2012, the central plains of the United States experienced one of its most severe droughts on record. This study examines the meteorological impacts of irrigation during this drought through observations and model simulations using the Community Land Model coupled to the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) Model. A simple parameterization of irrigation processes is added into the WRF Model. In addition to keeping soil moisture in irrigated areas at a minimum of 50% of soil moisture hold capacity, this irrigation scheme has the following new features: 1) accurate representation of the spatial distribution of irrigation area in the study domain by using a MODIS-based land surface classification with 250-m pixel size and 2) improved representation of the time series of leaf area index (LAI) values derived from crop modeling and satellite observations in both irrigated and nonirrigated areas. Several numerical sensitivity experiments are conducted. The WRF-simulated temperature field when including soil moisture and LAI modification within the model is shown to be most consistent with ground and satellite observations, all indicating a temperature decrease of 2–3 K in irrigated areas relative to the control run. Modification of LAI in irrigated and dryland areas led to smaller changes, with a 0.2-K temperature decrease in irrigated areas and up to a 0.5-K temperature increase in dryland areas. Furthermore, the increased soil moisture and modified LAI are shown to lead to statistically significant increases in surface divergence and surface pressure and to decreases in planetary boundary layer height over irrigated areas.

Mangroves constitute an ecosystem formed by different classes of living organisms. Due to its diversity, it has an ecological and environmental value that human activities can threaten. Endophytic fungi, found inside plant tissues, can produce substances of biotechnological value, such as antibiotics and other active principles with pharmacological properties. Therefore, this narrative review of the literature carried out through the analysis of articles found in different databases, such as: 'CAPES Journal Portal,' 'Web of Science,' 'SciElo,' 'Pubmed,' among others, highlights the importance of identifying, characterizing, and isolating endophytic fungi found in Brazilian mangroves and their relevance to the prospection of substances of high biotechnological value to the society. As well as to assist in understanding the ecological dynamics of mangroves in Brazil.

Two categories of articles were identified that address care strategies performed by nursing in the transition of care between hospital settings and the community. Conclusion Transitional care is a fundamental strategy for health promotion, continuity of care, disease prevention and rehabilitation of older adults. Nursing leads in this process.

This comparative bibliometric study aimed to perform a bibliometric analysis of the earlier studies in order to comprehend the current application and scientific situation of robotic surgery in the field of obstetrics /gynecology. In this study, Scopus and Web of Science (WoS) databases were used to retrieve the publications since September 2022 on robotic surgery in the obstetrics/gynecology research area. All articles except commentaries, errata, and corrigenda, were included. All duplicate papers were verified twice and eliminated. Most impactful authors, date of publication, leading institutions, language, top published countries, affiliations and, prominent journals were analyzed. According to the methodology detailed above, we retrieved 267 publications from Scopus and 256 publications from the WoS database. Most of the publications were in English language. Harvard Medical School published most of the publications according to Scopus and Brigham and Women's Hospital (n=17) and Harvard Medical School (n=17) published most of the publications according to WoS. According to WoS, the first publication was published in 2002, and according to Scopus, it was published in 1998. Between 2008 and 2022, the amount of documents in both databases expanded dramatically. Concerning the number of publications, the United States of America (USA) ranked in first in both databases. According to Scopus, the second most prolific publishing countries were Germany and South Korea. According to WoS, South Korea is ranked second. Although the number of articles is in the increasing trend, the number of articles published on robotic surgery in gynecology is limited in both databases. The publications have been published from developed countries, especially the USA. Further studies can be done with visualization and other bibliometric methods.

Objective: Uncover the transformative potential of agroecology in shaping sustainable food systems, with a particular focus on its pivotal role in transitioning from conventional systems to sustainable practices rooted in agroecological principles. Theoretical Framework: The current scenario presents alternatives to industrial agriculture, which prioritizes mass food production for global markets. In this context, agroecology emerges as a beacon of hope, championing short marketing circuits, fair trade, and a deep respect for local culture and the environment. The sharing of agroecological experiences, particularly in the context of family farming, offers a promising path toward agricultural systems that diverge from the traditional industrial model. Method: The systematic review used scientific articles published between 2011 and 2023, selected from the Web of Science and ScienceDirect databases. Results and Discussion: Agroecological production systems present themselves as a viable alternative to industrial agriculture, demonstrating that agroecological principles have the potential to promote healthier and more sustainable agri-food systems. Family farming plays a crucial role in this context, meeting the goals of agroecology. Research Implications: It highlights the promising role of agroecology in promoting family farming by achieving sustainable food production and supporting the demand for healthier foods. Originality/Value: This paper contributes to understanding the relationship between agroecology and agri-food systems, providing insights into agroecological practices, including sustainability in food production.

Population structure across a species distribution primarily reflects historical, ecological, and evolutionary processes. However, large‐scale contemporaneous changes in land use have the potential to create changes in habitat quality and thereby cause changes in gene flow, population structure, and distributions. As such, land‐use changes in one portion of a species range may explain declines in other portions of their range. For example, many burrowing owl populations have declined or become extirpated near the northern edge of the species' breeding distribution during the second half of the 20th century. In the same period, large extensions of thornscrub were converted to irrigated agriculture in northwestern Mexico. These irrigated areas may now support the highest densities of burrowing owls in North America. We tested the hypothesis that burrowing owls that colonized this recently created owl habitat in northwestern Mexico originated from declining migratory populations from the northern portion of the species' range (migration‐driven breeding dispersal whereby long‐distance migrants from Canada and the United States became year‐round residents in the newly created irrigated agriculture areas in Mexico). We used 10 novel microsatellite markers to genotype 1,560 owls from 36 study locations in Canada, Mexico, and the United States. We found that burrowing owl populations are practically panmictic throughout the entire North American breeding range. However, an analysis of molecular variance provided some evidence that burrowing owl populations in northwestern Mexico and Canada together are more genetically differentiated from the rest of the populations in the breeding range, lending some support to our migration‐driven breeding dispersal hypothesis. We found evidence of subtle genetic differentiation associated with irrigated agricultural areas in southern Sonora and Sinaloa in northwestern Mexico. Our results suggest that land use can produce location‐specific population dynamics leading to subtle genetic structure even in the absence of dispersal barriers.

Germany and the University of Munster are the most influential country and institutions, respectively. Besides, five core research themes were identified based on keywords co-occurrence map, theoretical lenses, factors promoting industry convergence, indicators of industry convergence, the impact of industry convergence and emerging research directions. Based on the above analysis, this paper constructed a theoretical research framework of industry convergence and value innovation.Research limitations/implicationsThis paper only draw data from one database – Web of Science – which cannot provide broad coverage of the research topic. Besides, the bibliometric method of this paper is based on high local citation score and high-frequency words, articles in the skirting subjects’ area may not be analyzed.Practical implicationsWith the rapid development of technology, such as nanotechnology, radio - frequency identification (RFID), etc., the iterative upgrading of products also comes. As a result, the boundary between industries is gradually blurred, and the phenomenon of industry convergence appears. Therefore, managerial decision-makers are facing challenges of how to respond to the convergence phenomena. From the firm level, firms are facing the problem of value innovation of the existing product, new product development and core competence improvement. Industries are facing the problem of transformation and upgrading. This paper provides certain theoretical insights for both firms and industries to guide the practice accordingly.Originality/valueThis paper is the first to use a bibliometric method to examine the topic of industry convergence and value innovation. In addition, this paper presents an in-depth analysis of this topic and provides a comprehensive theoretical research framework for future study.

This study aimed to understand research trends, determine frontier topics, and explore the developments in and the differences between research conducted in China and the rest of the world. We analyzed the research status of rare diseases in China and globally over the past decade using bibliometric methods. We focused on rare disease literature indexed in the Web of Science (WoS) and China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) databases from January 2013 to December 2023. We selected studies based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. CiteSpace 6.1.R6 software were used to prepare knowledge graphs and perform comparative analyses of authors, institutions, content, and hot topics between both databases. A total of 10,754 articles from the WoS and 969 from the CNKI met the inclusion criteria. In the past 10 years, the diagnosis and treatment of rare diseases have been a common research focus in both China and the world. China has emphasized more on "orphan drugs". "Genes" and "management" were focused globally. The United States had the greatest number of publications. China ranks high in terms of publication volume and institutional ranking. Research interest in rare diseases has gradually increased worldwide, with European and American countries maintaining a leading position. China has made significant contributions. China's research is lagging compared to global trends, lacking collaboration with other countries. The diagnosis and treatment of rare diseases remain central themes, whereas genetic research, artificial intelligence, and sociological studies on rare disease populations are emerging as hot topics.
