The Power of Unity: Collective Action and Smallholder Agricultural Performance in West Africa

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We analyze the impact of collective action through farmer‐based organizations (FBOs) on smallholders' farm performance and income inequality in Ghana, Benin, The Gambia, and Mali. We find that FBO membership increases cereal yield in Ghana and The Gambia, legume yield in Mali, ruminant numbers in Benin and The Gambia, and total farm income in ...

Contemporary Regional Disparities in Robotic‐Assisted Rectal Resection in Japan: A Nationwide Population‐Based Study Using the National Database Open Data

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
Robotic‐assisted rectal resection in Japan increased markedly after national insurance reimbursement in 2018, with a concurrent decline in open surgery. Using NDB Open Data, we found substantial inter‐prefectural heterogeneity in surgical volume and robotic utilization that persisted after age and sex standardization (SCR). Urban–rural differences were

Upcycling Water Pollutants Into Long‐Chain Polymers via Synergistic Interfacial Dechlorination and Organic Radical Stabilization

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
HEO‐regulated electronic structure drives nonradical PI activation, promoting ETP‐mediated polymerization of 4CP into high‐molecular‐weight products with enhanced surface enrichment. Concurrent dechlorination occurs via radical coupling and •OHads attack, enabling efficient carbon retention and selective product evolution at the liquid–solid interface.
