AGRICULTURE IN A SOCIALIST CITY: Towards an Alter‐Urban Political Ecology

International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Urban political ecology has developed as a critique of capitalist urbanization. This article develops the concept of alter‐urban political ecology to define urban environments emerging not from capitalist urbanization but from efforts to transform it. Drawing on archival research and ethnographic fieldwork in five urban farms in socialist Cuba,

Bridging the Late Antique Gap in Northwest Arabia: New Archaeological Evidence on the Occupation of Wādī al‐Qurā (al‐ʿUlā [AlUla], Saudi Arabia) Between the Third and Seventh Centuries CE

Arabian Archaeology and Epigraphy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In 2019, the Dadan Archaeological Project (CNRS/RCU/AFALULA) identified a Late Antique village 1 km south of ancient Dadan in the al‐ʿUlā valley (northwest Saudi Arabia). Three excavation seasons at this site (2021–2023) have uncovered a massive building constructed in the late third or early fourth cent.

Natural‐based antioxidants in cosmeceuticals: Extraction, bioavailability and skin ageing applications

International Journal of Cosmetic Science, EarlyView.
Natural antioxidants from plants, fruits, seeds and fungi combat ageing by neutralizing free radicals, boosting collagen and protecting against UV damage. Enhanced by green extraction and smart delivery systems, they offer powerful anti‐inflammatory and antimicrobial benefits.

Period of the day drives distinctions in the taxonomic and functional structures of reef fish assemblages

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Circadian processes are key drivers of animal behaviour, influencing patterns of activity, resource partitioning and competition avoidance. Studies evaluating circadian changes on the structure of marine assemblages are lacking, especially for reef fish.

Key metabolites secreted by Chlorella vulgaris alleviate salt stress in soybean seedlings

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Chlorella vulgaris secretes exosome‐derived linolenic acid and inosine, which alleviate salt stress and enhance salt tolerance in soybean seedlings by activating stress‐responsive signaling networks. ABSTRACT Soil salinization is a major abiotic stress factor that reduces soybean production.

Comparative effectiveness of Moringa leaf extract, a natural biostimulant, with inorganic NPK fertilizer for regulating growth and the activities of enzymatic antioxidants in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)

International Journal of Applied and Experimental Biology
Bio-stimulants include a range of compounds effective enough to enhance certain physiological processes that promote crop ontogeny and development, so that the use of synthetic fertilizers can be greatly decreased.

Mystery and misery of locally‐delivered drug therapy in periodontics. Historical concepts and current state

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView.
Abstract The primary objective is to critically analyze approaches to local therapy for periodontal disease, particularly in light of its well‐established systemic implications. We specifically address common misconceptions and overestimations regarding the potential of local treatments in contrast to their actual clinical effectiveness.
