Journal of Risk and Insurance, EarlyView.Abstract In many low‐ and middle‐income countries, social insurance provides basic pension benefits with limited cover for illness and care costs, while private insurance markets are underdeveloped. Using an online survey of retirement portfolio choices in urban China, we examined the stated demand for longevity, critical illness, and long‐term care ...

Journal of Paediatrics and Child Health, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background and Aim In 2018, a pasteurised donor human milk (PDHM) service was established within Australia's national blood service, Lifeblood, and subsequently expanded to a national service. Before 2018, five milk banks operated in Australia, but most infants admitted to Australian neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) still did not have ...

Pursuing patents for their own sake: How the investment discourse shapes patent quality and quantity
The Journal of World Intellectual Property, EarlyView.Abstract Patent systems worldwide face criticisms over declining patent quality and increasing patent quantity. While most research focuses on strengthening examination rigour, this article turns attention to relatively underexplored patenting incentives.

That sinkin’ feeling: Environmentally induced distress on a disappearing island
Medical Anthropology Quarterly, EarlyView.Abstract Residents of Tangier Island, Virginia, a subsiding island in the Chesapeake Bay, embody psychosocial dimensions of environmental change. Analysis of ethnographic data shows islanders’ experiences and articulations of anxiety, panic, and despair as “that sinkin’ feeling,” resulting from the stress of living with the long‐term threat of imminent

Characterization of Sec14 Domain–Containing Proteins in the Malaria Parasite Plasmodium falciparum
Molecular Microbiology, EarlyView.During asexual blood‐stage development, P. falciparum Sec14 proteins display distinct localizations suggesting specialized roles in lipid exchange. PfSec14‐1 initially localizes to the nucleus before moving to the ER and Golgi alongside PfSec14‐4 during schizogony.

maxRgain—An R Package for Maximising Genetic Gains in Polyclonal Selection
Plant Breeding, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Polyclonal selection, which was developed in the context of ancient grapevine varieties, uses intravarietal variability to improve the resilience and sustainability of viticulture. Based on quantitative genetics and linear mixed models, this approach predicts genotypic effects to select a group of clones that, as a whole, satisfy target ...

Plant Breeding, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Seed yield and composition are major targets in soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) breeding programmes, but simultaneous improvement is constrained by unfavourable correlations among target traits. In this study, we evaluated the potential of different selection indices to simultaneously improve seed yield and quality traits in soybean.

Plant Breeding, EarlyView.ABSTRACT In Brazilian apple breeding (Malus domestica Borkh.), Active Germplasm Banks are providing the genetic diversity required for selecting genotypes with low chilling requirements, high yield and superior fruit quality. This study estimated genetic parameters and perform genotype selection based on phenotypic traits from the IDR‐Paraná breeding ...

Physiological Entomology, EarlyView.The swallowtail butterfly Papilio machaon has a brown‐ and green‐coloured morph, with the brown being more common in the diapausing generation. The darker colouration of brown pupae did not confer advantages for thermoregulation when developing, but they did have lower diapause metabolic rates.
