AbstractMany academic disciplines are presently striving to reveal and dismantle structures of domination by working to reform and reimagine their curricula, and the ethics and values that underpin classroom settings. This trend is impelled by momentum from the Black Lives Matter movement in tandem with a worldwide call from Indigenous scholars and their allies for more equality in research and epistemological plurality. We contribute to such efforts through applying perspective and analysis concerning anti-racist and decolonized approaches to teaching environmental studies and sciences (ESS). This article discusses the opportunities and challenges of embracing a decolonized and anti-racist approach with an emphasis on courses in higher education in North America. We conclude with guidance for educators about strategies for incorporating such approaches.

This research project aimed to integrate geography, spatial analysis, environmental studies, and social psychology to understand conflicts over solar development in the Mojave Desert region. A second objective was to empower the participating undergraduate student researchers with a deep-learning experience using multidisciplinary tools. This project ran from 2019 to 2021 under the Undergraduate Research Associates Program (URAP) at the University of Southern California. The students conducted site suitability analysis, survey research, interviews, and field studies. Results combined spatial analysis, attitudinal surveys, mapping, and detailed accounts of the students’ learning experiences. An important conclusion of this project was the discovery of a discrepancy between broad support for solar development at the state and national level, and a suspicion at the local level The student researchers went on to present multiple conferences and receive awards, and based on this project, both decided to attend graduate school in environmental studies and sciences. Recommendations for further research include interpolation of attitudes toward solar development, conducting a demographically representative survey, and participatory mapping. This approach can serve as a pedagogical strategy for other institutions, as students are increasingly eager to address environmental problem solving from the perspective of both the natural and social sciences.

Abstrak Penelitian ini mengungkapkan pandangan ekologi Korrie Layun Rampan sebagai pengarang tiga cerita pendek, yaitu "Teluk Par", Sungai Nyuatan", dan "Madu Lomuq" yang terdapat dalam Antologi Riam. Pandangan tersebut meliputi gambaran dan cara-cara hidup masyarakat berhubungan dengan alam. Masalah yang difokuskan dalam penelitian ini adalah bagaimana pandangan ekologi Korrie yang terdapat dalam ketiga cerita pendek tersebut? Metode kualitatif digunakan untuk memecahkan masalah, yaitu dengan cara mendeskripsikan gambaran alam dan cara-cara ekologi masyarakat dalam kehidupan mereka. Dengan menggunakan teori ekokritik sastra, tulisan ini menganalisis pandangan-pandangan Korrie yang terbagi dalam kajian pastoral, apokaliptik, dan etika lingkungan. Hasil penelitian membuktikan/menunjukkan bahwa terdapat  kajian ekologi ssatra yang ditemukan dalam ketiga cerita pendek tersebut. Dari hasil penelitian dapat disimpulkan bahwa Korrie Layun Rampan adalah pengarang yang memiliki konsep ekologi dalan karya-karyanya.                                                                                         Kata kunci: pandangan, ekologi, Korrie, cerpen  Abstract This study reveals the ecological view of Korrie Layun Rampan as the author of three short stories, of "Teluk Par", Sungai Nyuatan", and "Madu Lomuq" from the Riam Anthology. These views include the description and ways of life of the community in relation to nature. The problem of  this research is how Korrie's ecological views are contained in the three short stories? Qualitative methods are used to solve the problem, by describing the picture of nature and the ecological ways of society in their lives. Using literary ecocritic theory, this paper analyzes Korrie's views are divided into pastoral, apocalyptic, and environmental studies. The results of the research prove/show that there is a literary ecology study found in the three short stories. From the results of the study it can be concluded that Korrie Layun Rampan is an author who has an ecological concept in his works. Keywords: views, ecology, Korrie, shorstories

Abstract Background As a kind of widely used antibiotics, sulfonamide antibiotics (SAs) has become ubiquitous environmental contaminants that caused public concerns. The behavior of SAs in complex environmental system need to be elucidated, which is hampered by unavailability or high cost of isotope-labelled SAs. Results Using commercially available uniformly [l4C]- and [l3C]-labelled aniline as starting material, we synthesized [phenyl-ring-14C]- and [phenyl-ring-l3C]-labelled sulfamethoxazole (SMX), sulfamonomethoxine (SMM), and sulfadiazine (SDZ) using four-step (via condensation of labelled N-acetylsulfanilyl chloride and aminoheterocycles) or five-step (via condensation of labelled N-acetylsulfonamide and chloroheterocycles) reactions in good yields (5.0−22.5% and 28.1−54.1% for [14C]- and [13C]-labelled SAs, respectively) and high purities (> 98.0%). Conclusion The synthesis of [l4C]-labelled SAs could be completed on milligram-level, being feasible for preparation of labelled SAs with high specific radioactivity. This study provides efficient and maneuverable methods to obtain a variety of [14C]- or [13C]-labelled SAs for studies on their environmental behavior, such as fate, transformation, and bioaccumulation.
