The Capital–Labour–State Dynamics of Herbicide Adoption in Rainfed India

Journal of Agrarian Change, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper engages debates around the capital–labour–state dynamics of agrarian transitions to address the oft‐studied but still little‐understood question of why farmers adopt herbicides when they do. Over the last several years, smallholder farmers in India have begun using the herbicide bispyribac sodium at breakneck speeds, particularly in

Millets: Small grains, big impact in climate action

The Journal of Climate Change and Health
Introduction: There has been a global rise in land-surface air temperature by 1.53 °C which can pose a threat to agricultural yields, undermine food security, and exacerbate malnutrition. In India, modern agricultural systems heavily rely on cereal crops

A Cross‐Sectional Study on Parakeets Feeding and Housing Practices in Italy

Journal of Animal Physiology and Animal Nutrition, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Italy has one of the largest companion bird populations in Europe. This study aimed to investigate feeding and housing practices among Italian parakeet owners. An online questionnaire was distributed, yielding 433 voluntary responses. Participants were classified as hobbyists (HBY; ≤ 13 birds owned) or breeders (BRD; > 13 birds owned) to ...

Acute Effects of Sleep Extension on Fatigue, Inhibitory Control, Short‐Term Vigilance and Neuromuscular Function in Youth Elite Ice Hockey Players: A Randomised Crossover Trial

Journal of Sleep Research, EarlyView.
Scheduling a 10‐h sleep opportunity (sleep extension) in elite youth athletes increased total sleep time by approximately 1 h compared to normal sleep. Cognitive performance on an inhibitory control task (20‐min colour multisource interference task; cMSIT) improved after sleep extension, and this was accompanied by an overall lower perception of ...
