Abstract

Community-based forest management (CBFM) has gained prominence as a strategy for sustainable forest governance in tropical Asia. This approach seeks to empower local communities, enhance biodiversity conservation, and improve livelihoods. However, the implementation of CBFM faces numerous challenges that can hinder its effectiveness. This research aims to identify the key challenges and opportunities associated with CBFM in tropical Asia. The study seeks to provide insights into the factors influencing successful implementation and to highlight best practices that can enhance community engagement in forest management. A mixed-methods approach was employed, combining qualitative interviews with community members, local officials, and NGOs, along with quantitative surveys of forest management practices. Case studies from selected countries in tropical Asia were analyzed to identify common themes and variations in CBFM implementation. Findings reveal that while CBFM has the potential to improve forest sustainability and empower communities, challenges such as inadequate capacity, lack of financial resources, and conflicting interests among stakeholders persist. Opportunities for enhancing CBFM include strengthening local governance structures, improving access to technology, and fostering partnerships with NGOs and government agencies. The study concludes that addressing the challenges of CBFM is essential for its success in tropical Asia. By leveraging the identified opportunities, stakeholders can enhance community participation and promote sustainable forest management. This research underscores the importance of an integrated approach that combines local knowledge with external support to achieve effective CBFM outcomes.

Abstract

Urban populations often face high levels of stress, anxiety, and burnout, which can negatively affect their overall well-being. While mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs) have been widely studied for their effectiveness in reducing symptoms of mental health disorders, less attention has been paid to their potential in fostering positive psychological outcomes such as flourishing and psychological capital. Flourishing, characterized by life satisfaction, meaning, and engagement, alongside psychological capital, which includes hope, resilience, self-efficacy, and optimism, are essential for long-term well-being and adaptive functioning. This study aims to explore the role of mindfulness-based lifestyle interventions (MBLIs) in cultivating flourishing and psychological capital among urban populations, beyond the reduction of negative symptoms. The research utilized a mixed-methods design, involving pre- and post-assessments using the Flourishing Scale, Psychological Capital Questionnaire, and qualitative interviews. A sample of 100 urban residents participated in an 8-week MBLIs program. Results indicated significant improvements in flourishing (mean increase of 1.2 points) and psychological capital (mean increase of 1.2 points). Participants reported higher levels of self-efficacy, optimism, and emotional resilience. In conclusion, mindfulness-based interventions can serve as a valuable tool in enhancing psychological resilience and well-being, particularly in urban populations, supporting long-term mental health and flourishing.

Abstract

Drug discovery increasingly relies on accurate simulation of molecular Hamiltonians, yet classical computational methods face exponential scaling barriers when modeling complex quantum systems. Recent advances in quantum machine learning (QML) and the availability of Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum (NISQ) devices offer new opportunities to accelerate molecular simulation despite hardware noise and qubit limitations. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of QML-based variational algorithms in improving the efficiency and accuracy of Hamiltonian simulation for drug-relevant molecules on NISQ platforms. A hybrid quantum–classical methodology was employed, combining variational quantum eigensolvers, noise-aware circuit optimization, and supervised learning models trained to predict energy landscapes. The results demonstrate that QML-enhanced variational circuits significantly reduce computational depth while maintaining competitive accuracy compared to classical methods, particularly for medium-sized molecular systems. The findings also reveal that noise-adaptive training improves algorithm robustness, enabling more reliable energy estimation under realistic quantum noise conditions. The study concludes that QML provides a promising pathway for accelerating early-stage drug discovery by enabling efficient molecular Hamiltonian simulation on current-generation quantum hardware.

Abstract

The Standard Quantum Limit (SQL) sets a fundamental barrier on the precision of force sensing due to quantum fluctuations. Surpassing this limit is crucial for advancing the sensitivity of force sensors, especially in applications like gravitational wave detection and quantum metrology. This study explores the potential of squeezed light injection into cavity optomechanical systems to surpass the SQL in force sensing. The main objective is to develop a method that enhances the precision of force measurements by leveraging quantum squeezing, thereby reducing quantum noise in one quadrature of the light field. The research employs both theoretical modeling and experimental techniques to study the effects of squeezed light on the force sensitivity of a cavity optomechanical system. The system was tested with varying squeezing levels and optomechanical coupling strengths. Force sensitivity was measured using a heterodyne detection setup, with the results compared to the SQL. The findings demonstrate that force sensitivity can indeed surpass the SQL by utilizing squeezed light, with a significant improvement in precision observed at higher squeezing levels. At 12 dB of squeezing, the system achieved a sensitivity of 3.1 × 10?¹³ N/?Hz, well below the SQL. This research confirms that squeezed light injection, combined with optimized optomechanical coupling, is a viable technique for quantum-enhanced force sensing.

Abstract

Entrepreneurial ecosystems have become critical drivers of the creative economy by fostering collaboration, innovation, and sustainable business models. In the context of the Global South, these ecosystems face structural challenges such as limited access to finance, infrastructure gaps, and unequal opportunities, yet they also present unique opportunities for inclusive growth. This study aims to examine how entrepreneurial ecosystems shape and influence the development of the creative economy in a Global South context, with a focus on the mechanisms that enable creative entrepreneurs to thrive despite these constraints. A qualitative case study design was employed, drawing on data collected from 45 semi-structured interviews with entrepreneurs, policy makers, and cultural actors, as well as document analysis and participant observation in three creative industry clusters. The findings reveal that local networks, informal mentoring, and culturally embedded innovation serve as the backbone of these ecosystems. Results highlight that while systemic limitations persist, adaptive strategies, collaborative practices, and policy interventions can strengthen ecosystem performance and contribute to creative sector resilience. This study concludes that fostering inclusive entrepreneurial ecosystems in the Global South has a transformative potential for advancing the creative economy and addressing socio-economic disparities.

Abstract

The Brantas River Watershed, a vital socio-economic region in East Java, Indonesia, faces escalating environmental pressures from unplanned urbanization and intensive agriculture. These challenges are exacerbated by climate change, leading to increased land degradation, soil erosion, and severe flood events, which threaten the watershed’s long-term sustainability and the livelihoods of millions. This study aimed to develop and validate a Geographic Information System (GIS)-based Decision Support System (DSS) to aid policymakers in formulating integrated, evidence-based strategies for sustainable land use planning and climate change adaptation within this critical watershed. The DSS was constructed by integrating a multi-criteria evaluation (MCE) framework within a GIS environment. Key geospatial datasets (land cover, soil type, slope, rainfall projections) were weighted using the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP). The system models land suitability and vulnerability to environmental hazards under various climate change scenarios. The developed DSS successfully generated high-resolution maps identifying priority zones for conservation, reforestation, and sustainable development. The model revealed that 22% of the upper watershed area is at high risk of landslides under projected rainfall patterns. The optimized land use plan proposed by the DSS demonstrated a potential to reduce surface runoff by up to 35%, significantly mitigating flood risk. The GIS-based DSS is a powerful and effective tool for integrated watershed management. It provides a dynamic, scientifically-grounded platform for strategic planning, enabling policymakers to balance ecological protection with socio-economic needs and enhance the climate resilience of the Brantas River Watershed.
