Long-term trends in the socio-economic development of Arab countries by V. A. Meliantsev

“…With all the considerable differentiation that exists between Arab countries in the 1980-2010s, in contrast to a number of other countries and regions of the East and South, the Arab world on the whole has suffered from a significant slowdown in the dynamics of per capita GDP, total factor productivity, human development index and augmented development index.These trends, according to the author’s calculations, are determined not only and not so much by high population growth rates, but by the limited nature of economic and institutional reforms that affect the degree of diversification of production and export structures, share of investments in physical and human capital in GDP, and the quality of labor. …”

The interplay and synergistic relationship between urban land expansion and urban resilience across the three principal metropolitan regions of the Yangtze River Basin by Lei Ning, Shuangqing Sheng, Yue Meng

“…The results demonstrate that: (1) both the intensity and rate of urban land expansion across urban agglomerations in the Yangtze River Basin have declined, indicating a shift in urbanization focus from “land expansion” to “quality enhancement,” with a slowdown in the conversion of agricultural to urban land. (2) Urban land expansion exhibits weak directionality, with land expansion occurring uniformly within the region. (3) On the whole, resilience levels in the Yangtze River Basin’s urban agglomerations remain moderate or lower, although showing gradual improvement. (4) The coordination between urban land area and urban resilience across the basin is limited, with a declining alignment between urban land expansion and resilience enhancement rates, signaling an emerging imbalance. …”

Oscillatory response of Larsen C Ice Shelf flow to the calving of iceberg A-68 by Katherine A. Deakin, Frazer D. W. Christie, Karla Boxall, Ian C. Willis

“…We find marked oscillations in ice-shelf flow across LCIS in the months following A-68's calving, beginning with a near-ice-shelf-wide slowdown of 11.3 m yr−1 on average. While falling close to the limits of detectability, these ice-flow variations appear to have been presaged by similar oscillations in the years prior to A-68's breakaway, associated primarily with major rifting events, together reflecting potentially hitherto unobserved ice-shelf mechanical processes with important implications for ice-shelf weakening. …”
