Understanding the nature and extent to which social work supervisors help ensure professionalism in their organizational context is a critical concern for the public and the profession. The purpose of this article is to explore social work supervision in the context of neoliberal managerial pressures with a focus on the professional discretion and resistance to neoliberalism of social work supervisors. Utilizing a cross-sectional survey design, the research measured managerialism, professional discretion, and resistance among 275 Minnesota licensed social work supervisors. The results of the survey demonstrated that on average social work supervisors act as a conduit of neoliberal governance, pressured to ensure worker productivity and efficiency, while facilitating the standardization of direct-line practice. Yet, some responses are contradictory in regard to reporting support for integrating clients' interests while maintaining organizational pressure for predetermined interventions. Finally, the research may signal the supervisor dilemma of how to support the interests of professional social workers while positioned as managers themselves.</p>","PeriodicalId":21875,"journal":{"name":"Social work","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-05-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144162067","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}

However, the response of various vegetation characteristics to the lagged and cumulative effects of drought remains poorly understood. Therefore, the lagged and cumulative effects of drought on global vegetation greenness (NDVI), coverage (LAI), and productivity (GPP) were investigated based on diverse vegetation characteristics and standardized precipitation evapotranspiration index (SPEI). And they were analyzed under different water balance gradients, climate zones, and vegetation types. The findings revealed that the lagged response of NDVI to drought was more timely, at 4.29 months. The cumulative response of GPP to drought was more timely, at 4.23 months. Cumulative responses to drought were generally stronger than lagged responses. Across different water balance gradients, the lagged months of NDVI displayed the most significant U-shaped distribution with increasing SPEI, whereas the cumulative months of GPP exhibited the most significant inverted U-shaped distribution. In addition, the arid zone experienced the strongest drought impacts on all vegetation characteristics. Grasslands and shrublands were more vulnerable to drought than forests. Among the three vegetation characteristics, NDVI accounted for the highest percentage of minimum lagged months, at 19.29 %. GPP had the highest percentage of minimum cumulative months, at 15.92 %. This study revealed the complexity of vegetation dynamics under drought stress, which could help us further understand the vegetation response in climate change, and thus provide a critical foundation for ecosystem management and climate change adaptation strategies.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":309,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Impact Assessment Review","volume":"115 ","pages":"Article 108019"},"PeriodicalIF":9.8,"publicationDate":"2025-05-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144147627","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}

In this study, we aimed to determine if alternative livestock farms respected the socioeconomic principles of agroecology. A qualitative thematic analysis and a multivariate quantitative analysis were conducted based on data gathered from a sample of 15 farms over the course of three years. All farms raised multiple species and marketed their products through multiple different outlets, most of them directly to the end consumer, ensuring high economic diversification and connectivity. High levels of work satisfaction were commonplace, as farmers’ values were aligned with their work. Even though their sales prices were much higher than those obtained by large-scale specialized livestock farms, average net incomes and employee wages were low. Most farms operated at a small scale, but farms with higher gross incomes had higher net incomes, suggesting a certain level of economic performance due to economies of scale. Most farm characteristics were found to be in line with locally accepted social values such as gender equity, animal welfare, and providing ingredients for meat-forward diets, which are the local norm. Farmers deplored the fact that they did not have the institutional leverage to take part in territorial and food system governance. While alternative livestock farms cannot readily replace large scale specialized farms in terms of production volume, their socioeconomic characteristics were found to align with the agroecological ideal.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":17002,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Rural Studies","volume":"119 ","pages":"Article 103711"},"PeriodicalIF":5.1,"publicationDate":"2025-05-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144147340","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}
