Establishment of a Human Cell‐Based In Vitro Test System for Investigating and Evaluating Cytotoxic and Immunomodulatory Effects of Indoor Mold

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Mold growth in damp indoor environments is a widespread problem associated with respiratory health effects, though causal mechanisms remain incompletely understood. We established a human cell‐based in vitro test system using bronchial epithelial cells (NuLi‐1) and macrophages (THP‐1) to assess inhalation toxicity and immunomodulatory effects ...

High/Low Impact Straw Bale Pavilion

This experimental pavilion test modular construction as well as covivial construction methods, where building processes are deliberately organised, in the spirit of Ivan Illich's "tools for conviviality," which remain comprehensible and accessible to non-

Effect of butorphanol in combination with xylazine during castration of calves: A randomised trial under field conditions

Veterinary Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Background In horses, cats and dogs, the opioid butorphanol has been proven effective in management of visceral pain and for peri‐ and postoperative pain relief. The aim of this study was to evaluate physiological responses and indicators of noxious stimuli when adding butorphanol to xylazine for sedation of bull calves during surgical ...

Straw return increases crop production by improving soil organic carbon sequestration and soil aggregation in a long-term wheat–cotton cropping system

Journal of Integrative Agriculture
Straw return is a promising strategy for managing soil organic carbon (SOC) and improving yield stability. However, the optimal straw return strategy for sustainable crop production in the wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)–cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L ...

Economic Analysis of Infrastructure Investment and Break‐Even Carbon Prices for Low‐Water, Low‐Emission Farming Techniques in Vietnam

Australian Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Excessive water use in rice production is a major source of methane emissions, the dominant greenhouse gas from Vietnam's agricultural sector. Improving water‐use efficiency can enhance water security and reduce emissions, but achieving these gains requires substantial changes in farming practices and significant investment in supporting ...

Bio-Regulatory Mechanisms of Straw Incorporation in Haplic Phaeozem Region: Soil Ecosystem Responses Driven by Multi-Factor Interactions

Agriculture
With the increasing global food production year by year, the effective return of crop straw to the field has become an urgent problem to be solved. This study examined the impact of straw decomposition under different return methods on soil ecosystems ...

John Gray: ‘Americanism’ and the Perversion of Post‐liberalism

The Political Quarterly, EarlyView.
Abstract This article will make the case for John Gray's inclusion in the canon of post‐liberals despite his protests to the contrary, and will argue that his peculiar post‐liberalism is important for its challenges to the dominance of liberalism as both a political culture and way of theorising the ends of politics based on the model of the American ...

Effects of maize straw and corncob return on the soil quality and on the soil microbial structures and functions

Frontiers in Microbiology
Straw return is an effective agricultural strategy for incorporating organic carbon into soil organic matter pools through microbial decomposition. This process modifies soil physicochemical properties, thereby altering microbial habitats and resource ...

Fleeting Feminism: The Singapore Women's Federation, Singapore Chinese Left‐Wing Feminism and Anti‐Colonial Nationalism, c. 1950s

Gender &History, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In 1955, two female factory workers and trade union leaders, Tan Lee Eng and Kwek Tai Eng, established the Singapore Women's Federation (SWF) to unite women regardless of race, religion or class for the anti‐colonial nationalist struggle. Singapore Chinese left‐wing feminism emerged at the confluence of the nationalist interest in mobilising ...

ON THE BRIGHTER SIDE OF THE NIGHT: Discovering Community and Care in Night Shift Work

International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Within the burgeoning attention being paid to the night‐time economy (NTE) in and by cities, the demands and impacts of night work have gathered increasingly scholarly attention. Research has centred on the darker side of these, pointing to workers' precarity and vulnerability. What if we attend also to a ‘brighter side’ of the night and night
