Effect of information and communication technology-based loyalty incentives on farmers’ use of agricultural inputs and soybean yields: evidence from a field experiment in Uganda

International Journal of Agricultural Sustainability
To address low yields and contribute to food security in sub-Saharan Africa, policy-makers encourage smallholders to use productivity-enhancing agricultural inputs such as improved seed varieties, fertilisers and inoculants. However, adoption rates among

Consumer attitude and behaviour towards 'Flandria' quality labelled tomatoes [PDF]

, 2005
In recent years, trust in food safety and food quality has decreased as a result of consecutive food crises. Consequently, numerous quality labels signalling credence characteristics have been established.

Dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (DHODH) regulates trophoblast syncytialization through organelle stress–induced cellular senescence

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
The inhibition of mitochondrial dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (DHODH) impairs syncytialization and induces cellular senescence via mitochondrial and endoplasmic reticulum stress in human trophoblast stem cells, elevating sFlt1/PlGF levels, a hallmark of placental dysfunction in hypertensive disorders of pregnancy.

Transformative Bottom‐Up Change in Highly Dynamic Food Environments: Learning From Living Labs in Africa

Urban Planning
The relationship between food environments, diets, and consumption practices is essential in improving nutrition and health outcomes. Despite growing research in higher income countries on such interactions, less is known about food‐environment dynamics ...

A light‐triggered Time‐Resolved X‐ray Solution Scattering (TR‐XSS) workflow with application to protein conformational dynamics

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Time‐resolved X‐ray solution scattering captures how proteins change shape in real time under near‐native conditions. This article presents a practical workflow for light‐triggered TR‐XSS experiments, from data collection to structural refinement. Using a calcium‐transporting membrane protein as an example, the approach can be broadly applied to study ...

Sportscape Variables and Spectator Satisfaction Towards Willingness to Return to Designated Professional Women’s Soccer Events [PDF]

African Journal of Hospitality, Tourism and Leisure
Women's sports research has experienced growing interest from sports marketers to better understand how and why individuals visit stadiums to support their teams. The stadium’s physical environment which is regarded as the “sportscape”, purported to have

Erythropoietin modulates hepatic inflammation, glucose homeostasis, and soluble epoxide hydrolase and epoxides in high‐fat diet‐induced obese mice

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Erythropoietin administration suppresses hepatic soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH) expression, leading to increased CYP‐derived epoxides. This is associated with a shift in hepatic macrophage polarization characterized by reduced M1 markers and increased M2 markers, along with reduced hepatic inflammation, suppressed hepatic lipogenesis, and attenuated ...

Consumer behaviour in agricultural direct marketing [PDF]

Scandals in the food production industry have caused an uncertainty about quality and innocuousness of food for many consumers. This resulted in a strong risk perception of consumers at the point of sale.

Establishing an assay to evaluate d‐amino acid oxidase enzyme kinetics and inhibition using WST‐8 redox dye

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
This study investigated a novel WST‐8‐based assay for evaluating d‐Amino acid oxidase (DAO) inhibitors. We confirmed its effectiveness using known inhibitors and found that uremic toxins possess relatively weak inhibitory activity compared to existing drugs.
