Climate Change-Related Drivers of Migration in East Africa: An Integrative Review of the Literature by Reginald Chetto, Makarius Mdemu, Jacob Kihila

“… Despite the growing academic concern and policy interest in climate change drivers of migration, scientific evidence on the topic remains contested, with divergent claims of positive and negative contributions of climate change on human migration and displacement. This review seeks to assess the climate change-related drivers of migration with a focus on three East African countries: Tanzania, Kenya, and Uganda. …”

Mapping the shapes of phylogenetic trees from human and zoonotic RNA viruses. by Art F Y Poon, Lorne W Walker, Heather Murray, Rosemary M McCloskey, P Richard Harrigan, Richard H Liang

“…Phylogenies play a special role in the study of rapidly evolving populations such as viruses, where the proliferation of lineages is constantly being shaped by the mode of virus transmission, by adaptation to immune systems, and by patterns of human migration and contact. These processes may leave an imprint on the shapes of virus phylogenies that can be extracted for comparative study; however, tree shapes are intrinsically difficult to quantify. …”

Contradictions of the Practices of Consumption as the Specific Sources of Social Tension in the Contemporary Public Space by Viktoria Lapina

“…It is argued that under conditions of the intensive global resource exchange, which caused by the activities of TNCs and by the processes of global human migration, the social influence of the new dysfunctional manifestations of consumption in the public space of the contemporary societies reflect the processes of real competition between different models of consumption and also reflect the increasing manipulative influence of mass media and of advertising as technological means of translation of values ideology of consumerism and the standards of elite consumption, without taking into account the existing deep social and economic inequalities in consumption practices by individual and collective actors. …”
