In Uruguay, the policies implemented through the National Institute of Colonisation receive few resources for land incorporation and the demand from producers with access difficulties is significant. In France, the common agricultural policy has stimulated land concentration, calling into question the actions of the Sociétés d'Aménagement du Territoire et d'Installation Rural, making it difficult for new producers to establish on the land. This study compares public policies and land regulation instruments in Uruguay and France, while it seeks to understand the evolution of these instruments and the results of their application, through a review of documentary sources (academic and technical) and interviews with different categories of actors. The first reflections show that both countries share a state-developed system of land-access regulation. Despite their different trajectories and characteristics, both systems aim at the promotion and maintenance of family production, as their priority. However, both structures have been confronted with the advance of agribusiness and the financialization of agriculture, which have resulted in the increasing concentration of agricultural land. The limitations of the instruments do not manage to overcome the difficulties identified to improve the access conditions for less well-endowed producers or sectors.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":17002,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Rural Studies","volume":"118 ","pages":"Article 103690"},"PeriodicalIF":5.1,"publicationDate":"2025-05-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143894688","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}

Dyadic analyses identified unique OXT trajectories for women and men and helped clarify mixed findings in prior work. Although time was not a significant predictor, the pattern of means indicated that women’s OXT concentrations were highest at the start and end of the sexual episode, whereas men’s OXT concentrations increased from the start to the end of the sexual episode. The findings also identified synchronous changes between women and men’s OXT, but only within the post-sex time interval (immediately post-sex, 20 min post-sex, and 40 min post-sex).

This article critically analyses relevant conceptual work on age carried out so far in social sciences, proposes a conceptual framework inspired by sociological theory that integrates and expands this work, and provides a set of propositions on age. This framework provides a multilevel perspective on age, mapping the sociocultural structures in which age is embedded and exerts its influence, as well as the dynamics that are established between them, allowing for an analysis of the relationship between age-based structures and age-related practices. Furthermore, this more comprehensive framework includes relevant constructs that have rarely been considered.

At the same time, an increase in right-wing extremist attitudes like xenophobia could be observed in Germany. In this study, we hypothesize that the loss of control caused by the pandemic has contributed to the rise in xenophobic and anti-Semitic attitudes in Germany. We propose that this occurs through an attempt to restore control via elements of a revised authoritarian syndrome understood as both the classic authoritarian dynamic of aggression, submission and conventionalism on the one hand, and a general belief in conspiracy theories on the other. In a representative, probability-based study, <i>N</i> = 2522 participants were surveyed on locus of control, right-wing authoritarianism, conspiracy mentality, xenophobia, and anti-Semitism. It was found that right-wing authoritarianism and conspiracy mentality mediated the relationship between external locus of control and xenophobia (partial mediation) and anti-Semitism (full mediation). Surprisingly, internal control beliefs had a direct effect on right-wing authoritarianism—an effect that also leads to increased resentment. We conclude that social crises make people particularly vulnerable to regaining control via conspiracy theories and authoritarianism, which harbors dangers such as right-wing extremism as a consequence.

Within-country analysis, using postcode-level data, reveals severe loan contractions in rural and peripheral areas, as well as in regions with high EU export proportions, highlighting regional disparities in Brexit's impact on SME lending. Our findings emphasize the importance of economic geography and the role of local conditions in shaping access to finance during shocks. These results call for regionally tailored policies that specifically address the resilience and financial challenges faced by SMEs in rural and peripheral regions, to foster economic recovery across the UK in the post-Brexit era.

While some have hailed the adoption of such technologies into agriculture as transformative, critical data and agriculture scholars have suggested that big data has the potential to displace further the situational knowledge of farmers. Others suggest that these technologies simultaneously catalyze forms of relational agency, but also forms of resistance, where the lived experiences of farmers and cattle can hinder technology's effectiveness. With these critiques in mind, we assess how data technologies are put into practice on dairy farms. Drawing on interviews with producers and key advisers, we found that adoption is not seamless, and often fails to deliver on promises of labor and animal health optimization. The adoption of big data technologies can be confounded by cow and bacteria physiology, by the farm's existing infrastructure, and by the attitudes and knowledge base of farmers. These barriers to data technology adoption have produced hybrid epistemologies around animal health. This involves an uneasy and provisional blending of experiential and analytical methods, objective and subjective reasoning, and an ongoing tempering of the promise of greater optimization with the material realities of dairy farming. These hybrid epistemologies require people with the situational awareness to perform the hidden labor necessary to make the data useful for a given farm site. Despite adoption difficulties, dairy farmers continue to engage with data technologies, but the value of experience endures.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":17002,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Rural Studies","volume":"118 ","pages":"Article 103691"},"PeriodicalIF":5.1,"publicationDate":"2025-05-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143894689","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}

Secondly, generative AI offers possibilities to improve and automate personalised marketing, potentially enabling companies to send the right persuasive message at the right time to each potential customer.

This raises concerns over whether these PAs are ‘paper parks’. Only larger and older PAs had significantly higher management effectiveness. Further, just 11 % of the total protected offshore area is strictly protected from bottom fishing and trawling. The deficiencies identified in this study are a result of both the original design and current management of the offshore PA network in the UK and signal the importance of solutions such as increasing integrated and adaptive management, implementing climate change and connectivity considerations and introducing buffer zones.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48427,"journal":{"name":"Marine Policy","volume":"179 ","pages":"Article 106741"},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2025-05-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143898749","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}
