Analysis of plant and environmental samples for the quarantine fungus Phyllosticta citricarpa in four European citrus‐growing areas

Annals of Applied Biology, EarlyView.
Methodologies for the early detection of Phyllosticta citricarpa in air and rainwater samples were developed and applied over three consecutive years (2018–2021) in four European citrus sites, previously reported to harbour the pathogen. Phyllosticta citricarpa was not detected in plant, air, or rainwater samples, and no CBS symptoms were observed on ...

From Human Hands to Machine Minds: Financing AI‐Driven Entrepreneurship in Reward‐Based Crowdfunding

Accounting &Finance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines the effect of artificial intelligence (AI) adoption on financing performance in reward‐based crowdfunding. Using Kickstarter data from US projects, we find that AI projects have lower pledged amounts, receive fewer donations and attract fewer backers.

Food without fire: Environmental and nutritional impacts from a solar stove field experiment

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Over 80% of the population in rural Sub‐Saharan Africa relies on biomass cooking fuel, a substantial source of anthropogenic greenhouse gases. We use a field experiment in Zambia to investigate the impact of solar stoves on biomass fuel use and cooking habits.

Adapting to Change: The Dynamic Crop Production Systems of Smallholder Farmers in the PNG Highlands

Asia Pacific Viewpoint, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Smallholder sweet potato farmers in Papua New Guinea's Eastern Highlands Province (EHP) face challenges as they navigate social, economic, demographic, and environmental change. While they routinely adapt to weather variability and shifting markets, population growth is placing additional strain on an already finely balanced farming system ...

Chemotherapy‐driven expression of WNT ligands in bone marrow stromal cells contributes to chemoresistance in acute lymphoblastic leukaemia

British Journal of Haematology, EarlyView.
Chemotherapy‐induced WNT ligand secretion by bone marrow (BM) stroma drives acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) chemoresistance. WNT pathway inhibition disrupts this cross‐talk and restores therapeutic response, highlighting WNT inhibitors as a promising strategy to prevent relapse in ALL.

Preclinical models for evaluating psychedelics in the treatment of major depressive disorder

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Psychedelic drugs have seen a resurgence in interest as a next generation of psychiatric medicines with potential as rapid‐acting antidepressants (RAADs). Despite promising early clinical trials, the mechanisms which underlie the effects of psychedelics are poorly understood.

A Walk in the Park: Influence of Natural Co‐Exposure to Grass Pollen and Fungal Spores on Nasal Mycobiome and Cytokine Responses

Clinical &Experimental Allergy, EarlyView.
Volunteers stayed 3 h indoors and followed 1 h outdoors in a flowering meadow. Nasal mycobiome was analysed and aeroallergen content measured in nasal filters. Airborne fungal spores were quantified and fungal isolates were sequenced. Isolated fungal spores were used for stimulation of nasal epithelial cells.

Land Reforms in Cuba: First Empirical Assessment on Productivity Using Crop‐Level Panel Data

Economics of Transition and Institutional Change, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Land reforms implemented in Cuba since 2008 have aimed to increase agricultural production by distributing state‐owned idle lands with land‐use rights. The reforms restricted farmers with the rights from cultivating perennial and capital‐intensive crops.

Between famine and freedom: Food prices during the Indonesian War of Independence, 1945–9

The Economic History Review, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper investigates how the Indonesian War of Independence (1945‒9) influenced staple food prices, and how fluctuations in those prices, in turn, shaped the trajectory and dynamics of the conflict. We compiled a dataset comprising more than 8600 prices for staple foods covering the entire Indonesian archipelago from 1939‒49, allowing us to
