AChE is a stable marker of exposure to organophosphate and carbamate insecticides

Similarly, SO2 or H2S gas modified agricultural wastes bio-chars produced -C=S and -S-S groups, which formed strong complexes with Cd2+ and Hg2+ . Depending on experimental conditions, methods to introduce S-containing functional groups can either increase or decrease specific surface area and pore volume of carbonaceous adsorbents ; however, any reduction in sorption capacity associated with the loss of …

Women’s employment outcomes tend to improve if remittances accompany male migration

A natural experiment from a migration lottery in New Zealand finds evidence that migrant earnings stimulate remittance flows and generate better mental health outcomes . If out migration causes the local labor supply to decrease, this can put upward pressure on wages, which can be beneficial to local workers but potentially harmful to farmers who rely on …

There is also evidence of a strong spillover impact during a crisis period on commodities

While the negative impacts of drought are often disproportionately spread to low-income individuals, we have seen that windfall gains to agriculture create short-run spillovers to other industries . This spillover is likely to impact closely related industries in terms of input-output and exchange the most . In the case of agriculture, we understand this to …

Women tend to have elevated risk for common mental disorders compared to men

We expand on this prior work on infectious disease by testing whether this distinction might also be important for explaining common mental illness – a fundamental aspect of health that has been extensively demonstrated to show significant associations with poverty. The picture from decades of research from high-income countries is clear: worse socioeconomic status consistently …

Wood was manufactured into commodities that sustained the currant industry in Patras

During this time, there were two corresponding kinds of migration: migration by laborers and would-be landowners to existing currant-growing regions, and migration by colonists to undeveloped land and non-currant growing regions. With these two types of migration taken together, it is evident that, in the currant growing region of the Peloponnese, there was a general …

The studies on the Greek currant boom are written primarily from an economic perspective

As a result of harsher conditions in the lowlands and new crops from the Americas, from the middle of the sixteenth century to the middle of the nineteenth century, permanent settlement in the Mediterranean region became more concentrated in the hills and mountains. Populations that could not keep up with the drainage work in low-lying …

Availability issues were complicated by new purchasing policies at AgroPatria

Given this, financial institutions have come under governmental pressure to comply with banking regulations. In 2012 Chávez publically threatened banks in non-compliance with nationalization. In 2015, the Superintendent of theBanking Sector of Venezuela fined BancoCaribe bank 280 million bolívars for failing to fulfill agricultural lending requirements in parts of 2014 . The percentage of lending to the …

A focused trapping effort in these areas during winter will help limit breeding numbers

Anything we can find out now can be used by regulators to make more informed decisions.” Letourneau takes nothing for granted as the research gets under way. The project will use a large number of sample plants on varied research sites, and the experiments will be replicated over three years. Hazards of GM corn, including …

The formal models are inadequate in producing desirable results

If our use of natural resources precludes future generations from using these resources, then it may not be a just policy when viewed from the eyes of future generations. In particular, using Rawlsian notion of justice, when generations make decision using veil of ignorance about which generation they belong to, if they are unlikely to …

Livestock are an important source of both CH4 and N2O emissions in Yolo County

A defined urban boundary that reduces the area of interaction between urban and agricultural landscapes, however, could reduce any potential heat island and runoff effects on agriculture. By leaving larger tracts of agricultural landscapes intact, the interface problems are, to a degree, mitigated.Population expansion in Yolo County, the Sacramento Region, and northern California in general …
