Institutions affect economic development and social stability, and the characteristics of institutional change are a complex and widely discussed topic. This paper constructs a theoretical analysis framework to describe the relationship between institutional change, resource conditions, and overall ...

Food security is a high-priority issue for sustainable global development both quantitatively and qualitatively. In recent decades, adverse effects of unexpected contaminants on crop quality have threatened both food security and human health. Heavy metals and metalloids (e.g., Hg, As, Pb, Cd, and...

Food security has become closely watched with the occurrence of a series of food safety incidents in recent years. The widespread adoption of 2,3-butanedione (BUT), as a food additive, is an unpreventable significant risk factor to food security. Based on this, mouse hepatocyte AML-12 cells and two ...

Refugees remain vulnerable to acute food insecurity, malnutrition, and critically inadequate food and nutrient intake after migration, regardless of the economic level of the host country. We conducted this systematic review to summarize and evaluate the dietary intake and nutritional status among...

Millet plays a major role in food security in Africa and Asia. In addition to being a rich source of nutrients, millet contains many phytochemicals that are potentially beneficial for human health, and several of these compounds are related to its cooking properties. In this study, 172 metabolites...

Accurate and timely mapping of paddy rice is vital for food security and environmental sustainability. This study evaluates the utility of temporal features extracted from coarse resolution data for object-based paddy rice classification of fine resolution data. The coarse resolution vegetation...

Objective: The literature shows that food insecurity (FI) can negatively affect the trajectory of many chronic illnesses. FI can be acutely severe for older adults, but screening for FI is not regularly performed in the hospital setting. Our goal was to develop a tool to screen for FI upon hospital ...

In order to study the effect of ethanol fumigation on the quality of postharvest Agaricus bisporus, Agaricus bisporus was treated by 200, 400 and 600 µL/L of ethanol during the fumigation. The results showed that ethanol fumigation could significantly inhibit the increase of respiration intensity,...

Rice is the staple food for half of the world's population. Therefore, accurate information of rice area is vital for food security. This study investigates the effect of phenology for rice mapping using an object-based image analysis (OBIA) approach. Crop phenology is combined with high spatial...

In this study, the effect of combined ozone (200 mg/L) and intermitted heat treatment (hot water 56°C for 40s', then return to 5°C, 2 minutes for total treatment) on keeping the quality of 'tarocco' oranges was studied. The 'tarocco' orange was evaluated in composite film packaging (at 10°C RH...
