Obesity and Its Impact on Endoscopic Sinus Surgery Outcomes in Patients With Chronic Rhinosinusitis With Nasal Polyps

World Journal of Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Purpose The rising prevalence of obesity introduces challenges in surgical contexts, including endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) for chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP). However, the impact of obesity on ESS outcomes remains underexplored. This study aims to evaluate the association between obesity and surgical complexity, operative

The Consequences of Soil Organic Carbon for Crop Yield, Farm Productivity and Profit

Australian Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Crop choices affect soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks, allowing farmers to manipulate the amount of carbon sequestered in the soil over time. This paper examines the private and public benefits of crop rotations that sequester additional carbon across the province of Saskatchewan, Canada using a novel field‐level dataset from the Saskatchewan ...

AGRICULTURE IN A SOCIALIST CITY: Towards an Alter‐Urban Political Ecology

International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Urban political ecology has developed as a critique of capitalist urbanization. This article develops the concept of alter‐urban political ecology to define urban environments emerging not from capitalist urbanization but from efforts to transform it. Drawing on archival research and ethnographic fieldwork in five urban farms in socialist Cuba,

Promoting Methane Reductions Through Behavioural Nudges and Informational Boosts: A Field Choice Experiment in Japanese Rice Farming

Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Agricultural methane emissions represent a significant contributor to global climate change, with irrigated rice cultivation being one of the primary sources. Despite the availability of effective mitigation technologies, their adoption often remains limited due to behavioural and institutional constraints.

Rising Tides, Falling Harvests: Examining the Effects of Salinity Intrusion on Paddy Production in Vietnam's Mekong Delta

Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Rising sea levels and salinity intrusion increasingly threaten rice farming in Vietnam's Mekong Delta. Using a district‐level panel dataset from 2000 to 2020, this study examines the impacts of salinity on Winter–Spring rice yields and acreage and how farmers adapt to salinity risk.
