Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCooperation in Rural Areas as a Local System Development OpportunityEmanuele Schimmenti, Giovanni Battista Collura, Giuseppina Migliore et al.The development of rural areas requires the adoption of technology innovation and market approach strategies without departing from the specific features of local production systems, such as agricultural practices and the wealth of knowledge of operators. It is even better the exploitation of these resources to characterize the competitive positioning of territorial systems. In this framework, the cooperative Rinascita, which … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 12 · 3 Jan 2018 · 8,274 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Systematic Review of Artificial Intelligence and Deep Learning Approaches for Cocoa Pod Disease DetectionHenry Techie-Menson, Michael Asante, Yaw Marfo Missah et al.Cocoa pod diseases destroy an estimated 700,000 metric tons of cocoa annually, threatening 40–50 million smallholder farmers across tropical regions. Accurate field diagnosis remains constrained by symptom similarity, labour-intensive scouting, and limited specialist access in remote communities. This paper presents a PRISMA-guided systematic review of 25 peer-reviewed studies on automated cocoa pod disease detection and classification (2016–2026), addressing architectural approaches, … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 22, Issue 8 · 8 Sep 2026 · 743 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBeyond Survival: The Unique Salt Secretion and Ion Homeostasis Mechanisms in Limonium bicolor Under Salt StressLinyang Wang, Pin Chen, Shuge TianSoil salinization poses a significant threat to global agriculture. Limonium bicolor, a recretohalophyte, has evolved a unique and efficient salt tolerance mechanism centered on epidermal salt glands for secreting excess salts. This review systematically synthesizes the multilevel salt tolerance strategies in Limonium bicolor, covering the structural basis of its multicellular salt glands, the molecular regulatory networks governing their development including … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 22, Issue 3 · 8 Sep 2026 · 807 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMorphological Database and Quantification of Liberica Coffee Beans Using a Hybrid CNN ModelDioneces O. Alimoren, Francis G. Balazon, Jonnah R. Melo et al.Traditional evaluation of Liberica coffee (Kapeng Barako) in Batangas is commonly performed through manual visual inspection and sensory judgment, which are slow, subjective, and difficult to reproduce across farms, buyers, and grading personnel. These limitations can lead to inconsistent quality classification, weak traceability, and reduced bargaining power for local producers. This study develops and validates a web-based morphological analysis system … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 22, Issue 8 · 24 Aug 2026 · 1,344 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSocial Protection Cash Transfers and Gendered Equality: An Analysis of Gendered Differences in Poverty Reduction and Income DistributionJulius OkelloThis research investigates key determinants of poverty reduction and income distribution in eastern Uganda's Teso sub-region. Regression analysis reveals significant negative coefficients for access to healthcare (β = -0.414, p = 0.029) and road infrastructure (β = -0.363, p = 0.014), indicating lower poverty levels in communities with better access. Employment (β = -2.8, p = 0.000) and income (β … …American Journal of Economics and Business Administration, Vol. 17, Issue 1 · 5 Aug 2026 · 951 accessesView PDFCite
Literature ReviewOpen accessIn the abstractMicroRNAs in Atherosclerosis: Key Players, Diagnostic Potential, and Therapeutic OpportunitiesAnastasia V Poznyak, Stanislav Anatolievich Antonov, Ulyana V. Rozhkova et al.Atherosclerosis is a significant contributor to cardiovascular diseases, often progressing silently over many years before clinical symptoms manifest. The multifaceted pathogenesis of atherosclerosis, involving processes such as endothelial dysfunction and inflammation, presents challenges in early diagnosis and effective treatment. MicroRNAs (miRNAs), a class of non-coding RNA molecules with post-transcriptional gene regulation abilities, have emerged as potential key players in atherosclerosis … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 26, Issue 2 · 25 Jul 2026 · 744 accessesView PDFCite
