Altered NPK Fertigation With Triacontanol Supplementation Indicates Promising Improvements to Cannabis Flower Yield and Volatile Composition

New Zealand Journal of Crop and Horticultural Science, Volume 54, Issue 2, June 2026.
Cannabis is cultivated for its flowers, which are abundant in volatile terpenes that impact sensory and therapeutic properties. These compounds are therefore targets for enhancement during cultivation. One such strategy is the provision of biostimulants, such as the long‐chain primary alcohol triacontanol (TRIA), which may be sourced from plant waxes ...

A Comparative Analysis of the Critical Resilience and Gender Equity of Mothers Impacted by Albinism: Promising Practices From Tanzania and South Africa

Public Health Challenges, Volume 5, Issue 2, June 2026.
Women bear the brunt of human rights violations faced by persons with albinism. Our ethnographic study showed that critical resilience comes about through social relationships, collective practices, and identities present in communities (local and national). We identified six promising practices in Tanzania and South Africa to strengthen gender equity.
