Colonial legacy and traps in the social-ecological systems of forest management by C.D.A. Depari

“…The concept of the rigidity trap pertains to a reforestation strategy that utilized laborers and territories for ecological conservation, restricted local communities from utilizing forests, and diminished biodiversity by favoring the introduction of non-native Acacia decurrens.CONCLUSION: To address traps, this study recommends the need to use a panarchy approach that facilitates a comprehensive understanding of social-ecological systems and to transfer governance to local people which must be based on an in-depth understanding of the local history, knowledge, and cultures.…”

Distribution Pattern of Cadmium in the Profile of Shallow Fissure Soil and Its Influencing Factors in Karst Areas with High Geological Background by FAN Pingping, CHEN Jia, ZHANG Feng, NIU Yong, FANG Nufang, WU Zeyan, CAI Huayin

“…The average Cd concentration was 2.99 mg/kg, the concentration was high at 0—20 cm and gradually decreased with increasing soil depth, and Cd was predominantly in the reducible form. (3) Total Cd concentration was mainly influenced by soil pH, CEC, clay, silt, and water-stable aggregates, with CEC being the primary controlling factor for the vertical distribution of Cd. (4) The distribution of Cd speciation was controlled by different factors, depending on the form of Cd, with the weak acid-extractable form primarily influenced by organic matter, the reducible form mainly influenced by CEC, the oxidizable form mainly influenced by CEC, clay, and silt, and the residual form mainly influenced by silt content. (5) There was a significant difference in Cd concentration between the soils of funnel-shaped and trapezoidal fissure profiles and the rectangular fissure profile. …”

Overview of blockchain assets theft attacks and defense technology by Beiyuan YU, Shanyao REN, Jianwei LIU

“…Since Satoshi Nakamoto’s introduction of Bitcoin as a peer-to-peer electronic cash system, blockchain technology has been developing rapidly especially in the fields of digital assets transferring and electronic currency payments.Ethereum introduced smart contract code, giving it the ability to synchronize and preserve the execution status of smart contract programs, automatically execute transaction conditions and eliminate the need for intermediaries.Web3.0 developers can use Ethereum’s general-purpose programmable blockchain platform to build more powerful decentralized applications.Ethereum’s characteristics, such as central-less control, public and transparent interaction data guaranteed by smart contracts, and user-controlled data, have attracted more attentions.With the popularization and application of blockchain technology, more and more users are storing their digital assets on the blockchain.Due to the lack of regulatory and governance authority, public chain systems such as Ethereum are gradually becoming a medium for hackers to steal digital assets.Generally, fraud and phishing attacks are committed using blockchain to steal digital assets held by blockchain users.This article aims to help readers develop the concept of blockchain asset security and prevent asset theft attacks implemented using blockchain at the source.The characteristics and implementation scenarios of various attacks were effectively studied by summarizing the asset theft attack schemes that hackers use in the blockchain environment and abstracting research methods for threat models.Through an in-depth analysis of typical attack methods, the advantages and disadvantages of different attacks were compared, and the fundamental reasons why attackers can successfully implement attacks were analyzed.In terms of defense technology, defense schemes were introduced such as targeted phishing detection, token authorization detection, token locking, decentralized token ownership arbitration, smart contract vulnerability detection, asset isolation, supply chain attack detection, and signature data legitimacy detection, which combine attack cases and implementation scenarios.The primary process and plans for implementation of each type of defense plan were also given.And then it is clear which protective measures can protect user assets in different attack scenarios.…”
