Biosensors for Food Safety and Adulteration Monitoring: Applications, Smart Packaging Integration, and Pathways to Intelligent, Field‐Deployable Detection Systems

Food Safety and Health, EarlyView.
Biosensors enable rapid, sensitive, and portable detection of pathogens, contaminants, allergens, and food adulteration. Integration with smart packaging, smartphones, IoT, and machine learning supports real‐time monitoring and intelligent decision‐making, whereas microfluidics, biodegradable materials, explainable AI, and blockchain offer pathways ...

Must Longtermists Wish Us All Dead? A Quadrilemma

Journal of Applied Philosophy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Longtermists assign great moral importance to making the long‐term future as good as possible, especially by ensuring the survival of humanity. We argue, to the contrary, that on assumptions that are plausible, conservative, or shared by leading longtermists, human extinction will likely augment total utility among human and non‐human animals ...

The Impact of New Agricultural Operating Entities on Farmers' Adoption of Green Production Practices: Evidence From China

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT New agricultural operating entities (NAOEs) are the organizational core of modern agricultural systems, yet whether and how they draw smallholders into green production remains empirically unsettled. Using survey data from 803 vegetable growers in Shandong Province, China, and combining the coefficient of variation method, propensity score ...

Introgressed Brassica napus × Sinapis alba enhance resistance to the crucifer flea beetle (Phyllotreta cruciferae)

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
This study demonstrates that Brassica napus lines with Sinapis alba introgressions enhanced resistance against Phyllotreta cruciferae, resulting in reduced feeding damage and improved seedling physiological performance. The introgressed lines showed strong potential as genetic resources for developing more resilient and sustainable canola varieties ...

Mating history shapes Wolbachia‐induced cytoplasmic incompatibility and female fitness in an insect pest

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Mating order and remating of females by males with different endosymbiont associations strongly shape Wolbachia‐induced cytoplasmic incompatibility, female fitness and offspring sex ratio. An incompatible first mating was weakly affected if followed by a compatible mating and vice versa, indicating strong first‐male sperm precedence with consequences ...

Recommendations for Implementing Innovative Technologies to Control Aedes aegypti: Population Suppression Using a Combination of the Incompatible and Sterile Insect Techniques (IIT-SIT), Based on the Mexican Experience/Initiative

Insects
The future of Aedes aegypti control emphasizes the transition from traditional insecticides toward more sustainable and multisectoral integrated strategies, like using Wolbachia-carrying mosquitoes for population suppression or replacement.

Aedes albopictus bionomics data collection by citizen participation on Procida Island, a promising Mediterranean site for the assessment of innovative and community-based integrated pest management methods.

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2021
In the last decades, the colonization of Mediterranean Europe and of other temperate regions by Aedes albopictus created an unprecedented nuisance problem in highly infested areas and new public health threats due to the vector competence of the species.

Magical Realist Hauntings in Children's Everyday Encounters With Death, or, How to Believe in Impossible Things

Children &Society, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Modern deaths have become reiterations. That is, despite exhibiting a seemingly high‐level of diversity in death's representations in everyday lives, death suffers from a particular onto‐epistemological poverty that prevents it from being imagined otherwise.

Enhanced mosquito male separation for optimised sterile insect technique and incompatible insect technique programmes

Abstract Accurate separation of sexes is pivotal for the success of Sterile Insect Technique (SIT) and Incompatible Insect Technique (IIT) mosquito control programmes. We present a novel approach utilising a 15% sodium chloride (NaCl) treatment coupled with an automated mechanical separation system to significantly reduce female ...
