Perceiving Vegetation From Social Positions: Discourses on Plants in a Mediterranean Landscape

Sociology Lens, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Understanding how vegetation is perceived, named and valued requires attention to the social positions from which these perceptions are produced. This article analyses vegetation perception from different social positions based on qualitative research conducted in the province of Jaén (Andalusia, Spain), a Mediterranean landscape characterized

“Nowhere else to go”: Slow abandonment and (en)closures of long‐term care in Los Angeles

Medical Anthropology Quarterly, EarlyView.
Abstract Residential long‐term care facilities, known in California as “board and care” homes, have been closing rapidly in the last decade. Proponents assert these provide vital forms of housing and care to the poor and must be saved, while critics contend they perpetuate the institutionalization of people with disabilities and should be abolished ...

Caring for the institution: An ethnography of quality assurance policy in U.S. rural primary care

Medical Anthropology Quarterly, EarlyView.
Abstract Based on mixed‐methods, ethnographic research in a geographically isolated rural medical center in the upper midwestern United States, this paper explores the social implications of healthcare quality assurance policies highly reliant on managerial logics, including measurement and monitoring programs.

The Coptic Church in the Aftermath of the Second Vatican Council: Theological or Tactical Anti‐Judaism?

Modern Theology, EarlyView.
Abstract Vatican II's declaration on the Jews, absolving them from collective guilt of deicide, marked a significant turning point in Catholic theology. Arab governments tended to perceive this development as evidence that Catholics (or Christians generally) were taking the side of Zionist Jews in the Arab‐Israeli conflict.

Full‐length coding sequence analysis of the voltage‐gated sodium channel and acetylcholinesterase genes reveals target‐site mutations and acetylcholinesterase gene duplication in housefly (Musca domestica) populations in Japanese livestock barns

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
We simultaneously analysed insecticide resistance mutations in VGSC and AChE using NGS and hybridization probe capture in houseflies collected from livestock facilities for the first time. Resistance mutations in both VGSC and AChE were detected in most wild populations, suggesting widespread distribution of resistance genes.

First Tetraploa Genome and Multi‐Omics Analysis Reveal Key Plant‐Microbe‐Soil Interactions for Salt Tolerance and Yield Improvement of Wheat

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Salinity is a major threat to global agricultural productivity of staple crops such as wheat. Although microbial‐based solutions hold promise for alleviating salinity stress, practical implementation is hindered by insufficient mechanistic characterization of bioinoculants and their interactions with plants.

Parenteral iron—Does it increase infection risk?

Vox Sanguinis, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and Objectives Iron deficiency (ID) and iron deficiency anaemia (IDA) are prevalent conditions impacting various patient populations, both surgical and non‐surgical conditions. The advent of patient blood management (PBM) has promoted intravenous (IV) iron therapy as an alternative to oral iron and blood transfusions.

Genome assembly of the southern pine beetle (Dendroctonus frontalis Zimmerman) reveals the origins of gene content reduction in Dendroctonus

Royal Society Open Science
Dendroctonus frontalis also known as southern pine beetle (SPB), is the most damaging insect forest pest in the southeastern United States. Genomic data are important to provide information on pest biology and to identify molecular targets to develop ...
