Challenges to artificial intelligence‐enabled digital technology adoption in farms: a multi‐method approach

International Transactions in Operational Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Artificial intelligence (AI)‐enabled digital technologies have the potential to transform agriculture by supporting decision‐making and automating operations. However, their limited adoptions and scholars’ atheoretical explorations constrain our understanding.

Simulated daylight versus conventional PDT for mild to moderate actinic keratoses: A randomized controlled trial

Journal of the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology, EarlyView.
This single‐centre, randomized controlled trial showed that simulated daylight photodynamic therapy (SDL‐PDT, n = 785 lesions) was less effective than conventional photodynamic therapy (C‐PDT, n = 673 lesions) in treating mild to moderate actinic keratoses with 1‐year clearance rates of 71.0% for SDL‐PDT versus 85.3% for C‐PDT (p < 0.001). However, SDL‐

Embedded Pesticide Use: Exploring the Pesticide‐Land Nexus

Journal of Agrarian Change, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Since the turn of the century, global land grabs, farmland financialization and land‐based food sovereignty movements have returned the land question to the heart of agrarian studies. Meanwhile, abiding interest in pesticides has been reanimated in the face of changes in production, regulation and knowledge of toxicity.

Indoor residual spraying of distinct insecticide formulations in a household‐scale micro‐mosaic format: Feasibility and effectiveness for malaria vector control in rural Zambia

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
Densities of all Anopheles species were approximately comparable across all IRS regimes. No differences observed between treatment regimes regarding species composition of the Anopheles funestus group or An. gambiae complex. This operational pilot demonstrates the practical feasibility of IRS micro‐mosaics, despite the inherent increase in deployment ...

Gene Editing of Nicotiana benthamiana Architecture for Space‐Efficient Production of Recombinant Proteins in Closed Environments

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Indoor vertical farming (VF) offers practical advantages for the cultivation of plant protein bio‐factories including plant uniformity, product consistency, water/nutrient recycling and production cycles on a year‐round basis. Much progress has been achieved toward the development of innovative systems for artificial lighting, automated ...

The effects of far‐UVC irradiation on the presence and concentration of ESKAPEE pathogens on hospital surfaces: Study protocol for a multi‐site, double‐blinded randomized controlled trial in La Paz, Bolivia

Photochemistry and Photobiology, EarlyView.
The protocol of a multi‐site, double‐blinded, clustered randomized controlled trial (cRCT) with a binary outcome of the presence of viable presumptive ESKAPEE pathogens on surfaces in and around hospital sinks is to be implemented in two Bolivian hospitals.

Cis‐urocanic acid formation following far‐UVC exposure and associated signaling responses in keratinocytes

Photochemistry and Photobiology, EarlyView.
Far‐UVC (200–235 nm) has emerged as a safe and effective indoor disinfection tool, but effects on skin immunomodulation remain unclear. This study demonstrates that 222 nm far‐UVC converts trans‐urocanic acid (UCA) to its biologically active cis isomer at levels comparable with solar radiation. In keratinocytes, far‐UVC alone caused modest increases in
