Who Owns the Rural Space? The Social Contradictions Between Immigrant Entrepreneurs and Native Individuals Under China’s Rural Revitalization by Wei Meng, Hengyu Wang, Shengcong Wang

“…Key findings reveal the following: (1) Disparities in lifestyle, entertainment methods, and commercial interests are the main factors contributing to the social contradictions. (2) The presentation of contradictions is summarized in three forms: the segregation of production space, the emergence of interest groups, and the outbreak of intermittent conflicts. (3) Although these contradictions seem to be part of everyday life and self-regulating, with the favoritism of local governments, the power network of the village is further eroded by immigrant entrepreneurs, and native individuals are faced with the risk of being marginalized, which seems to be a tricky phenomenon in the process of rural revitalization. …”

A theoretical model of plant species competition: The case of invasive Carpobrotus sp. pl. and native Mediterranean coastal species by Simonetta Bagella, Iulia Martina Bulai, Marco Malavasi, Giulia Orrù

“…Computational simulations show that different bistability scenarios exist but also the tristability of the last three equilibrium introduced above was studied. The obtained results suggest that external factors, due to human intervention, that leads to a decrease in the initial population of Carpobrotus sp. pl. and/or increase of the native population might help in having the stability of the Carpobrotus-free equilibrium or the coexistence equilibrium.…”

Meat quality and fatty acid composition of Nero d’Aspromonte native pigs: effect of rearing system and carcase weight by Meng Peng, Siria Tavaniello, Mengjun Wu, Sanije Zejnelhoxha, Marisa Palazzo, Giulia Grassi, Yongqing Hou, Giuseppe Maiorano

“…Meat from plein air reared pigs had higher total saturated fatty acids (SFA) and lower total polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), resulting in a lower PUFA/SFA ratio and n-6 to n-3 PUFA ratio. The combination of the plein air system and heavier carcase weight could improve the nutritional properties of intramuscular fat in this native pig. …”
