While both wild pollinator conservation and beekeeping are essential to natural and managed ecosystems, their objectives can diverge, particularly when the honeybee is viewed as central rather than part of a broader pollinator community. Beekeepers' values for managed and wild pollinators can help understanding their engagement with conservation and solving emerging conflicts. We carried out in-depth interviews with 40 beekeepers in North-East Italy, including 20 commercial and 20 hobbyist, investigating their risk perception regarding the honeybees’ health, values for pollinators and willingness to protect wild pollinators. Although commercial and hobbyist beekeepers managed their operations differently, they shared the same concerns and values for pollinators. Respondents started beekeeping driven by interest or through connections with friends or family members and the vast majority considered their activity beneficial to local residents. Both commercial and hobbyist beekeepers expressed concern about climate-change and held strong relational values for the honeybee, supporting the importance of integrating relational values, such as stewardship and identity, when studying human-nature connections. Actions to conserve wild pollinators received a higher support when beneficial for the honeybee too, while specific actions targeting only wild pollinators were less supported. However, commercial beekeepers holding high intrinsic values for wild pollinators were more likely to help them. Overall, we identified synergies and areas where potential conflicts between conservationists and beekeepers can emerge. As beekeepers represent a crucial stakeholder group, collaborations and dialogues among people who value wild pollinators are needed to effectively protect them.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":17002,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Rural Studies","volume":"119 ","pages":"Article 103751"},"PeriodicalIF":5.1,"publicationDate":"2025-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144534258","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For this purpose, purposive sampling and in-depth interviews were conducted amongst external elites, town-level officials, and village participants at Dashuipo Town, a rural area where elites are introduced through government mediations, university platforms, and established elite networks. The study develops Halfacree's and Frisvoll's conceptualization of the production of rural space by incorporating elements specific to the Chinese context: guanxi, rural revitalization policies, and gentry culture. The study identifies six types of rurality conceived by external elites: experimental site, idyllic rural life, like-minded community, production site, sustainable development, and rural tourism. These ruralities are translated into new rural spaces through immaterial (guanxi, rural revitalization policies), material (land use rights, money), and personal practices (career, family, lifestyle pursuits), with gentry culture impacting immaterial and personal practices. While these practices have created improved infrastructure, cultural initiatives, and economic opportunities, the study reveals the lack of community capacity building and social-spatial segregation between external elites and local communities. The findings suggest that the activities of external elites in Dashuipo reflect a uniquely Chinese, state-embedded, production-oriented rural gentrification process, where governments, anchor institutions, and elites work closely together to achieve their respective goals. The study concludes by recommending the development of more effective collaboration mechanisms to engage local communities and build their capacity, thus contributing to more equitable and sustainable rural development.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":17002,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Rural Studies","volume":"119 ","pages":"Article 103781"},"PeriodicalIF":5.1,"publicationDate":"2025-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144522073","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As social media and networking platforms are becoming integral to cross-border migration, it is highly likely the very first borders that migrants encounter are virtual and internal. Drawing on 71 life history interviews with Vietnamese migrants to Australia and ethnographic observations conducted online and offline between 2019 and 2023, I discuss how bordering practices are performed and experienced by migrants in cyberspace as well as the values underpinning their norms of inclusion/exclusion. Migrants actively engage in ‘border work’, and in so doing, they construct and reconstruct narratives of ‘deservingness’ while concurrently reinforcing the social demarcations between those perceived as ‘outsiders’ and ‘insiders’. The paper invites rethinking of both modern borderscapes and bordering and enriches the scholarly debates on migrant solidarity.</p>","PeriodicalId":47882,"journal":{"name":"Global Networks-A Journal of Transnational Affairs","volume":"25 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2025-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/glob.70021","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144524709","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Through Othering, older people are treated as fundamentally different to the rest of (younger) society with consequences including social alienation, oppression and economic inequality. However, whilst clearly detrimental to older people themselves, this distancing is also malignant for the rest of society in diminishing the value of a good portion of the life course. The paper argues that this process of setting apart can be reduced by imaginative and creative depictions of old age, working through plots that depict older age as both unique yet continuous with earlier life stages, and equally capable of holding meaning, value and authenticity. Narrative gerontology, for instance, argues that even in conditions of constraint, choices can be made over plots, in particular whether the plot of late life and old age is viewed as one of ‘tragedy’ or ‘adventure’. After setting out this theoretical framework, the paper explores four novels, written by younger people, which are exemplary in their capacity for imaginative empathy. Succeeding in bridging the gap between generational space and time, in some cases and especially for older women, they demonstrate how old age can in fact provide the first opportunity for choice, selfdetermination and agency as well as for fulfilling authentic goals that were incompatible with those chosen at earlier points in the life course. Since a key mechanism of ageism is failure of the imagination, the paper recommends that listening to and composing stories of old age should be a part of the educational curriculum everywhere.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47935,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Aging Studies","volume":"75 ","pages":"Article 101345"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144523698","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, realizing this promise will depend on the ways in which platforms get integrated into, reconfigure, and steer smallholder farming practices. In this paper we analyse the case of a digital platform for small-scale aquaculture in Indonesia. We build on social practice theory to understand the platformization of fish farming practices as a process in which data becomes the key organizing object in connecting a variety of farming practices. Through interviews with fish farmers, input suppliers and buyers, as well as the platform providers and user interface developers we trace how fish farmers get enrolled in the platform ecosystem. We show that with the introduction of an automated, internet-connected feeder machine at the pond, fish farming practices become datafied. The resulting data object of a ‘feed conversion ratio’ then starts to prefigure other practices of the fish farmers, such as buying inputs, getting access to finance, harvesting, and selling the fish. Next, aggregating these datafied farming practices at the platform provider's regional hubs and head quarter enables new forms of steering (sustainable) markets. Instead of a platform logic being imposed on small-scale producers, we show that platformization requires various forms of work from both platform users and providers. We conclude by reflecting on the implications of data objects traveling far beyond their original context and their potential use by other food system actors to steer smallholder practices in new directions.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":17002,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Rural Studies","volume":"119 ","pages":"Article 103764"},"PeriodicalIF":5.1,"publicationDate":"2025-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144522075","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This scoping review is the first to study the emerging literature of sexual and gender minorities (SGM) when navigating healthcare systems as it relates to the constructs of implicit bias, perceived discrimination, and minority stress. This review examines patient and provider interactions and how the above constructs impact healthcare access, the quality of care received, and clinical outcomes for patients within the framework of intersectionality and positionality. Database searches yielded 96 articles published between January 2015 and January 2025. Reviewed research included systematic literature reviews, mixed methods designs, and qualitative and quantitative designs studies which were conducted in the USA and based on various sexual groups and gender diverse populations who accessed medical or behavioral healthcare treatments. Research quality appraisal was conducted through the Crowe critical appraisal tool. Conceptual overlap between implicit bias, perceived discrimination, and minority stress was found. Medical decision-making and health outcomes during provider and patient interactions were further evaluated based on these concepts. Further research and interventions directed at more inclusive medical and behavioral healthcare for SGM populations are needed. We propose the term dissectionality of care, focusing attention on the gaps within healthcare settings in illustrating the multidirectional and multilayered intersections between patient and provider interactions. Barriers to care experienced by historically disadvantaged and under-resourced sexual and gender diverse patients and providers were found. We suggest ways to enhance professional curricula and direct further research.","PeriodicalId":8327,"journal":{"name":"Archives of Sexual Behavior","volume":"3 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2025-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144547685","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
