Gender, Social Reproduction and the Construction of Capabilities for Social Sustainability of Agriculture: A Relational Approach

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Farmers' capabilities, a core component of social sustainability, have been largely neglected in sustainable agriculture discourse. Using a relational approach to capabilities and autonomy, this study explores how women farmers translate the opportunity of agricultural innovation into their valued outcomes, and which factors shape their ...

Kaempferol Protects Intestinal Health in Chinese Forest Musk Deer Possibly by Regulating Intestinal Microbiota and Inhibiting the NF‐κB/NLRP3 Signaling Pathway

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Kaempferol modulates the tryptophan metabolism pathway by increasing the abundances of Christensenellaceae R7 group, Bacteroides, and Blautia and reducing that of Rikenellaceae RC9 gut group, thereby significantly increasing the levels of ILA and IAA. This process inhibits the activation of NF‐κB/NLRP3 signaling pathway, reduces pro‐inflammatory factor

Responses of Soil Arthropod Communities to Varying Shading Levels in Agriphotovoltaic Systems

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Soil fauna was primarily influenced by crop type and season rather than AgriPhotovoltaic (APV) panels. Elevated panels increased soil temperature and soil organic matter in early wheat stages, while shading enhanced soil moisture for tomatoes, benefiting moisture‐sensitive taxa.

Nut Consumption and Sperm Quality in Healthy Men: Results From the Led‐Fertyl Study

Andrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Nuts are rich in antioxidants and other bioactive compounds, and recent evidence suggests that their regular consumption may be associated with sperm quality. However, the current scientific evidence remains limited and inconsistent.

Development and field testing of biodegradable seedling plug-tray cutting mechanism for automated vegetable transplanter

Journal of Agricultural Engineering
Removing seedlings from plug-trays to transplant in the field poses transplanting shocks to the seedlings and may reduce the survival rate. Therefore, this study designed biodegradable plug-tray cutting mechanism (SPCM) that separates seedlings with ...

Design of Automated Vegetable Transplanter

INTERANTIONAL JOURNAL OF SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH IN ENGINEERING AND MANAGEMENT
The paper is about the design and evaluation of an automated vegetable transplanter aimed at improving the efficiency, precision, and scalability in modern agriculture. This system integrates a robotic arm, a crank-driven pickup mechanism and a 5-bar digging system to ensure accurate and damage-free planting of vegetable saplings.

Review Article: The Impact of the Gut Microbiome on Ulcerative Colitis Pharmacotherapy

Alimentary Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.
The gut microbiome modulates ulcerative colitis pharmacotherapy through microbial drug metabolism, immune regulation and altered drug bioavailability. Microbial composition influences response to aminosalicylates, corticosteroids, immunomodulators, biologics and small molecules, while microbiome‐targeted therapies show emerging promise.
