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 ...

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.

Powdered hibiscus anthocyanin‐nanofibril complexes as natural colourants: Stability and application in yoghurt and soft candy

Coloration Technology, EarlyView.
Abstract The instability of anthocyanins limits their application as natural food colorants. This study aimed to enhance the stability of anthocyanins extracted from Hibiscus sabdariffa through copigmentation with protein nanofibrils produced from pea, rice, gluten and whey isolates. Linear and curly nanofibril structures were prepared and incorporated

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.

Using a Generic Blend of Pheromones to Simultaneously Attract a Diversity of Elaterid Beetle Species Native to Eastern North America

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
We assessed attraction of eight elaterid species to a “generic” pheromone blend containing their eight known pheromones or sex attractants. All eight species were attracted by their specific attractants, as expected. Six species were attracted to the blend, but the remaining two species were strongly inhibited by unknown blend components.

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
