Causes of quality defects in cassava-based food production: an ishikawa diagram analysis

World Journal of Advanced Research and Reviews
Cassava is a staple crop in many African countries, contributing to the production of various food products such as gari, cassava flour, and fufu. However, quality defects in these products are prevalent, particularly at the small-scale production level. This study analyzes the causes of these defects using the Ishikawa diagram, focusing on key factors

Bonding social capital, disaster experience, and post‐disaster giving in Japan

Disasters, Volume 50, Issue 2, April 2026.
Abstract When are people willing to donate their time or money after a disaster? We investigate the psychological and socio‐economic determinants of post‐disaster giving in Japan, using a nationally representative panel survey of more than 7,000 respondents, conducted repeatedly from early 2020, including after the 2024 Noto Peninsula earthquake.

Nitrogen dynamics as a function of pH in soil cultivated with brachiarias

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 1, March 2026.
Abstract Brachiaria production is an important segment in Brazil's agriculture, used as a forage or animal feed. Studying the influence of Brachiaria sp. on soil nitrogen (N) dynamics under different soil pH and amendment conditions is a critical research need.

A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis of the Birth Prevalence of Turner Syndrome

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, Volume 200, Issue 3, Page 579-591, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Turner syndrome, a chromosomal disorder, causes short stature, pubertal arrest, amenorrhea, and infertility in females. Prevalence estimates vary widely; however, reliable estimates are important for public health initiatives. Therefore, a meta‐analysis was undertaken.

Magnetic Dynamics and Elongated Coherence of a High‐Spin Mn(II) Qubit Doped Into a Metal‐Organic Framework

Chemistry – A European Journal, Volume 32, Issue 5, 2 February 2026.
This study demonstrates that dilute Mn(II) (∼0.02 mol%) doped into the Zn(II)‐MOF [CH6N3][Zn(HCOO)3] act as high‐spin (S = 5/2) spin qubits, achieving microsecond phase memory times above 50 K—the first report for Mn(II)‐based systems. Robust hydrogen‐bonding networks suppress relaxation and stabilize the lattice, extending T2.

Measurement of the volume CT dose index on spiral CT scanning with a real‐time ionization chamber

Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, Volume 27, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Background The measurement of computed tomography dose index 100 (CTDI100$CTD{{I}_{100}}$), which is feasible only through axial scanning, requires that the clinical spiral protocols be replaced with those for axial scanning. The real‐time ionization chamber detects the integral of radiation dose rate profile, enabling the direct verification ...

Risk Factors Associated With Sarcopenia in Patients With Chronic Kidney Disease: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

Journal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Muscle, Volume 17, Issue 1, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Sarcopenia is an age‐related degenerative disorder characterized by a progressive decline in skeletal muscle mass, strength, and function with high prevalence in chronic kidney disease (CKD). Identifying clinical and epidemiological factors of sarcopenia in patients with CKD is essential to enable early recognition and appropriate ...

A Genome‐Wide Association Study Reveals Desmoglein‐2 Predominance in Japanese Arrhythmogenic Cardiomyopathy

Journal of Arrhythmia, Volume 42, Issue 1, February 2026.
A GWAS of Japanese arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy identified a strong signal near DSG2, exceeding the genome‐wide significance of p = 5 × 10–8 (red line). This signal disappeared after excluding carriers of rare DSG2 variants. Stratified analyses indicate that the association reflects a DSG2‐D494A‐mediated synthetic effect driven predominantly by this ...
