Rethinking the politics of anti-corruption in Ukraine – from sandwich to kite
For the past decade, the political economy of Ukraine’s anti-corruption reforms has been compellingly explained through the sandwich model: Civil society organisations and international partners "sandwiched" Ukraine’s political leaders, influencing from below and above. Civil society organisations did this through sharpened monitoring tools, expert advice, and collaboration, as well as argumentation and advocacy in the media.

Confirmation of gamma irradiation–mediated inactivation of a vero-adapted African swine fever virus Lisbon 60 strain for molecular assays
Abstract African swine fever virus (ASFV), the etiologic agent of African swine fever (ASF), is a high-consequence pathogen requiring experiments to be conducted in containment in non-endemic countries, thereby restricting diagnostic development, the creation of reference standards, and proficiency testing (PT). Safe and reliable inactivation methods are essential to expand diagnostic capacity while preserving nucleic acid integrity for molecular assays in unaffected countries.

Granchio invasivo dal Mar Rosso si stabilisce nello Ionio
AGI - Il granchio indo-pacifico Gonioinfradens giardi si sta rapidamente stabilendo nel Mar Ionio, segnando un nuovo passo nell’espansione delle specie aliene nel Mediterraneo. È quanto emerge da uno studio guidato da Francesco Tiralongo, con Alberto Felici, pubblicato sulla rivista Acta Ichthyologica et Piscatoria.

Ecuador's schools at risk: organised crime, corruption, and priorities for policy action
Criminal networks are capturing Ecuador's education system through procurement fraud, selling teaching posts, and extorting educators. Schools in gang-controlled areas have become recruitment grounds where students are recruited and teachers are forced to pay protection money to survive. Independent oversight, protected whistleblowing channels, community-based security, and alternative youth pathways can break their grip and offer a way out.
‘Weights of gold in bullion’: how the ancients invested in precious metals
“All I want is an income of 20,000 sesterces from secure investments”, proclaims a character in a poem by Juvenal (1st-2nd century CE), the Roman poet. Today, 20,000 sesterces would be equivalent to about A$300,000 in interest from investments. Anyone would be very happy with this much passive annual income. Like today, people in ancient times understood that investing money could help them consolidate and grow their wealth.
Universities as anti-corruption educators: but first, clean house
Universities are often cast as part of the cure for corruption. They teach ethics, train professionals and shape the next generation of public officials, researchers and citizens. The United Nations Convention against Corruption (UNCAC) reflects this ambition in recognising education as part of corruption prevention: Article 13 calls for public participation in preventing and combating corruption, including through programmes in schools and universities.
FEMA buyouts vs. risky real estate: New maps reveal post-flood migration patterns across the US
FEMA’s buyout program helped homeowners in Houston after Hurricane Harvey’s widespread flooding in 2017. AP Photo/David J. Phillip Dangerous flooding has damaged neighborhoods in almost every state in 2025, leaving homes a muddy mess. In several hard-hit areas, it wasn’t the first time homeowners found themselves tearing out wet wallboard and piling waterlogged carpet by the curb. Wanting to rebuild after flooding is a common response.
How redefining just one word could strip the Endangered Species Act’s ability to protect vital habitat
Green sea turtles, like this hatchling in Florida, are endangered due in part to habitat destruction and fishing nets. Keenan Adams/USFWS It wouldn’t make much sense to prohibit people from shooting a threatened woodpecker while allowing its forest to be cut down, or to bar killing endangered salmon while allowing a dam to dry out their habitat. But that’s exactly what the Trump administration is proposing to do by changing how one word in the Endangered Species Act is interpreted: harm.
India-Pakistan Strikes: 5 Essential Reads On Decades Of Rivalry And Tensions Over Kashmir
(MENAFN- The Conversation) Indian airstrikes deep into Pakistan and retaliatory shelling across the border have put the subcontinent on edge once again, with many fearing a further escalation between the two nuclear neighbors.

Tensions Over Kashmir And A Warming Planet Have Placed The Indus Waters Treaty On Life Support
(MENAFN- The Conversation) In 1995, World Bank Vice President Ismail Serageldin warned that whereas the conflicts of the previous 100 years had been over oil,“the wars of the next century will be fought over water .” Thirty years on, that prediction is being tested in one of the world's most volatile regions: Kashmir.
Los antibióticos están llegando a nuestros grifos: ¿podemos evitarlo?

Estas sustancias llegan al medio acuático principalmente a través de la excreción humana y animal tras el consumo de medicamentos, o por una eliminación de fármacos en desagües y vertidos industriales sin un control adecuado.
America’s clean air rules boost health and the economy − here’s what EPA’s new deregulation plans ignore
Regulations have cleaned up cars, power plants and factories, leaving cleaner air while economies have grown. AP Photo/Frank Franklin II The Trump administration announced on March 12, 2025, that it is “reconsidering” more than 30 air pollution regulations in a series of moves that could impact air quality across the United States. “Reconsideration” is a term used to review or modify a government regulation.
How to find climate data and science the Trump administration doesn’t want you to see
Government scientists at NOAA collect and provide crucial public information about coastal conditions that businesses, individuals and other scientists rely on. NOAA's National Ocean Service Information on the internet might seem like it’s there forever, but it’s only as permanent as people choose to make it. That’s apparent as the second Trump administration “floods the zone” with efforts to dismantle science agencies and the data and websites they use to communicate with the public.
El emprendimiento se pliega a Trump también en España

Viruela del mono: es la hora de la solidaridad
En 2022, de forma bastante inesperada, se produjo el mayor brote de mpox (como recomienda llamar ahora universalmente a la viruela del mono la Organización Mundial de la Salud) fuera del continente africano con cerca de 100.000 casos, incluidas 208 muertes en 116 países. La enfermedad estaba causada por el virus del tipo II y se transmitió principalmente a través del contacto sexual.
¿Cuándo puede usar la Policía el reconocimiento facial a distancia?
¿Qué mejor escenario que un evento masivo como los Juegos Olímpicos para probar la eficacia de la videovigilancia con inteligencia artificial como medida de seguridad? Es el plan que la Asamblea Nacional francesa aprobó en marzo de 2023. No se hicieron esperar las protestas de grupos activistas como Amnistía Internacional, que temían que esta decisión pudiera socavar derechos fundamentales como los relacionados con la privacidad de las personas.

Un empujón para hacer mejor uso del agua urbana
El cambio climático, el crecimiento de la población y el envejecimiento de las infraestructuras son algunos de los retos que se deberán afrontar para ello. Dada la complejidad del problema, parece claro que solo la combinación de diferentes elementos podrá ayudar en este ambicioso objetivo. Necesitamos la infraestructura técnica que permita el tratamiento y el transporte para los usos requeridos. Al mismo tiempo, debemos reconocer que no se trata solo de un problema tecnológico.

Removing PFAS from public water systems will cost billions and take time
Here are ways to filter out some harmful ‘forever chemicals’ at home PFAS are showing up in water systems across the U.S. Jacek Dylag/Unsplash, CC BY Chemists invented PFAS in the 1930s to make life easier: Nonstick pans, waterproof clothing, grease-resistant food packaging and stain-resistant carpet were all made possible by PFAS. But in recent years, the growing number of health risks found to be connected to these chemicals has become increasingly alarming.
Help us build a library of free climate change footage
Summer 2023 was the hottest summer on record, according to NASA. And another summer of extreme heat is on the horizon. There’s no denying that we’re feeling the impacts of climate change more and more every year. It is journalists’ job to inform the public about what’s happening to our planet. But that can be hard to do when there isn’t enough free footage journalists can use to document our changing climate.
