Universities offer a variety of services to students, staff, and affiliates, traditionally managed through physical campus cards. However, increasing mobility requirements and the need for secure, interoperable digital identity solutions call for a modernized approach to service access. This paper introduces eduTAP, an open-source concept and software framework that builds on top of digital wallet
Hard tissues in biology are typically hierarchical composites. Osteoderms are mineralized dermal structures, widespread in lizards, in which a hyper-mineralized superficial layer, the capping tissue, has recently attracted attention for its unusual structural and mechanical features, with, e.g., moduli reaching those of enamel. Here, a comparative study of osteoderms from six lizard species whose
Background: Agroecology integrates ecological agricultural production with community self-reliance, deeply rooted in indigenous knowledge. This study investigates how and why women in Zimbabwe contribute to seed preservation in agroecology, and what challenges they face in sustaining traditional seed systems. Using a qualitative approach combining focus group discussions, semi-structured interview
Residential gardens can provide pollinator habitat and thus contribute to mitigating declines of insect pollinators. To further improve gardens for pollinators, it is necessary to understand the factors and pathways leading to successful conservation interventions. We studied how the success of two common pro-pollinator interventions, garden meadows and flower plantings, were influenced by gardene
Drought and the condition of water scarcity lead to several socio-economic, social and environmental impacts. Whatever the approaches of drought management, policymakers and planners require novel methods to analyze data and model drought processes and its connection with water scarcity. In recent years, artificial intelligence-based and earth observation approaches have been progressively d
