Consistently Inconsistent Perceptual Illusions in Nonhuman Primates
Visual illusions fascinate humans, in large part because we realize how such experiences disconnect how we perceive the world from reality. The discovery that other animals also experience some of these illusions has provided a compelling comparative story about the role that perception plays in sometimes misrepresenting the nature of the real world. What has also become apparent from comparative studies is that not all animals experience illusions the same way, and sometimes the same individual may not experience some illusions while experiencing others.

Application of Resilience to Food Systems
The idea of “resilience” increasingly appears in development dialogue and discussion of food systems. While the academic concept of resilience has roots in diverse disciplines, climate change and the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic have led to a rapid intensification of interest in the concept as it applies to food systems. The conceptual dimensions of resilient food systems and tools for assessing food system resilience are discussed.

The Transactional Distance Theory and Distance Learning Contexts
Moore established transactional distance theory (TDT) to grasp transactional distance in the context of distance learning. Research using TDT in distance, open, and online learning environments has been undertaken. However, there are information gaps about what constitutes progress, future directions, and research deficits pertaining to TDT in the context of distance education. TDT research in distance learning integrates various theories and models; nevertheless, there is a movement toward acceptance models and how to incorporate more relevant theories within the framework of distance learning. Future studies should integrate other aspects such as student motivation, student acceptance of technology, and student preparedness and desire to utilize technology in learning environments. As most research samples students, a research gap involving instructors and heterogeneous groups is proposed. It is projected that quantitative research will predominate in the future, leaving qualitative and mixed approaches as areas of investigation.

Climate Change Reporting in Business Media
The agenda-setting and attitude-forming role of media has been proven and endorsed over time. Media has played an instrumental role in the way the issue of climate change is perceived by various stakeholders in society. Although studies on media coverage of climate issues have been gaining prominence in recent years, there is a gap when people consider the Global South. Moreover, although the business sector is a critical stakeholder in climate change policy and action, studies that focus on how business media projects and highlights climate change are relatively sparse. This vacuum is even more pronounced in developing countries. This research is an attempt to address this gap. A longitudinal analysis of climate change reporting in a leading Indian business newspaper, using automated content analysis was conducted. Results provide us with valuable insights about how climate frames and climate themes have evolved over time in business media.

Urban Agriculture in Today’s Sustainable Cities
Urban agriculture (UA) has become a commonly discussed topic in recent years with respect to sustainable development. Therefore, the combination of urban fabric and local food production is crucial for ecological reasons.
