Does Contract Farming Reduce Pesticide Use? Panel Data Evidence From Smallholder Farmers in China

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The inappropriate and excessive use of pesticides poses a major threat to human and ecosystem health in the agri‐food sector. While existing studies have examined the potential of contract farming to address this issue, most have focused on large‐scale farms and relied on small or transactional datasets, often leaving the role of crop‐specific

MODELING THE EFFECTS OF AREA CLOSURE AND TAX POLICIES: A SPATIAL-TEMPORAL MODEL OF THE HAWAII LONGLINE FISHERY [PDF]

We develop an economic model for a multi-species fishery that incorporates the spatial and temporal distribution of effort and fish stocks. Catchability coefficients and initial stocks are estimated from catch and effort data for each specific location ...

Artificial Intelligence–Based Surgical Phase Analysis Enables Objective Assessment of Surgeon Skill in Robotic Distal Gastrectomy: A Multicenter Study

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aim Artificial intelligence (AI)–based surgical video analysis can automate time‐consuming manual assessments and enable objective characterization of surgical workflows. We aimed to construct a large, multicenter, fully annotated dataset of robotic distal gastrectomy (RDG) videos and evaluate the feasibility and performance of an AI model for

Interaction Between Operator and Assistant Certification Is Associated With Local Recurrence After Laparoscopic Rectal Cancer Surgery: An Ancillary Analysis of the EnSSURE Study

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
A significant synergistic interaction between operator and assistant certification was associated with a lower risk of local recurrence after laparoscopic rectal cancer surgery. Patients treated by both ESSQS‐qualified operators and assistants had the lowest risk of local recurrence, whereas a single qualification alone was not associated with a ...
