Seeds of change: The impact of Ethiopia's direct seed marketing approach on smallholders' seed purchases and productivity

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract While multiple factors explain low adoption rates of improved varieties by small‐scale farmers in sub‐Saharan Africa, a key supply‐side constraint is the limited availability of seed embodying new traits in the volume, quality, price, and timeliness required by farmers. This constraint is partly attributable to classical failures in the market

Inflation, Race, and Legislation—The Erosion in the Real Value of Monetary Compensation for Miners' Occupational Lung Disease in South Africa, 1973–2024

American Journal of Industrial Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background For much of the 20th century, the South African mining industry had a statutory compensation system for pneumoconiosis and tuberculosis characterized by gross racial inequality. This study examines the impact of inflation over the period 1973–2024 on the real value of miners' lung disease compensation, including the effect of the ...

Genome‐Wide Association Study of Symptom Change Following Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Common Mental Disorders

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part B: Neuropsychiatric Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a well‐established, evidence‐based treatment for common mental disorders such as depression, anxiety disorders, and obsessive‐compulsive disorder (OCD). However, treatment outcomes vary widely, and a substantial proportion of patients do not achieve sufficient improvement.

On the Prospects for African Philosophy in Australia

Australian Journal of Social Issues, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper grapples with the situation of people of African descent in Australia by working through the constitution of the body of academic philosophy in the country. It contends with the parochialism of the Australian philosophical community and the prospects for the cultivation of greater pluralism. Taking African philosophy as one possible

Speech Biomarkers From Smartphone Calls Track Progression in REM Sleep Behavior Disorder and Parkinson's Disease

Annals of Neurology, EarlyView.
Objective This 24‐month longitudinal study involving isolated rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder (iRBD), early‐stage Parkinson's disease (PD), and matched healthy control subjects aimed to assess whether acoustic speech features from real‐world smartphone calls provide passive progressive biomarkers in synucleinopathies.

o‐Terphenyl‐Based Family of Conjugated Macrocycles: Selective Recognition of Phenylalanine in Water and Interaction With Insulin

Angewandte Chemie International Edition, EarlyView.
This study presents the synthesis and binding properties of a new family of o‐terphenyl‐based macrocycles, TP[n] (n = 2‐8). The trimer variant efficiently binds phenylalanine in water with a 10‐fold selectivity compared to other amino acids and aromatic neurotransmitters.

Thermal Expansion Coefficient of Curdlan Tripropionate Measured by Thermal Mechanical Analysis and Wide‐Angle X‐Ray Diffraction

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.
This study demonstrates the thermal expansion behavior of curdlan tripropionate films using thermal mechanical analysis and synchrotron WAXD. Both amorphous and crystalline films show characteristic expansion near the glass transition, providing structural insights for designing heat‐resistant polysaccharide‐based plastics.

A perspective from the Mesozoic: Evolutionary changes of the mammalian skull and their influence on feeding efficiency and high‐frequency hearing

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The complex evolutionary history behind modern mammalian chewing performance and hearing function is a result of several changes in the entire skeletomuscular system of the skull and lower jaw. Lately, exciting multifunctional 3D analytical methods and kinematic simulations of feeding functions in both modern and fossil mammals and their ...

Comparative and functional anatomy of masticatory muscles and bite force in opossums (Didelphimorphia, Didelphidae)

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
We describe the functional anatomy of masticatory muscles in nine opossums, finding a generalized anatomical pattern with differences related to skull morphology. Variation in quantitative myological data and estimated bite force was mostly related to size, and the increase in bite force supports dietary diversification associated with size increase ...
