Towards an Indigenous Geographies Agenda in Abya Yala? Epistemic‐Political Debates From Argentina

ABSTRACT The authors of this proposal are Spanish‐speaking geographers concerned with Indigenous issues in different provinces of Argentina (Córdoba, Santa Fe, Buenos Aires). This work aims to present the main discussions that have been taking place in that country within the fie...

Global scripts for local policies: Front-of-pack nutrition labeling in Latin America

This article examines the remarkable similarity and near-simultaneity of the front-of-pack nutrition labeling regulations adopted across Latin America over the past two decades. Drawing on the world society theory, we argue that this convergence cannot be adequately explained as...

Foliar Biostimulants Mitigate Water‐Deficit Effects on Morphophysiological Traits of Tobacco ( Nicotiana tabacum L.)

This study evaluated whether foliar‐applied biostimulants can mitigate water‐deficit stress in tobacco ( Nicotiana tabacum L.) and improve several morphophysiological traits associated with drought tolerance under reduced irrigation. A comparative evaluation of three biostimulant...

Head-to-Tail Cyclization and D-Amino Acid Substitution Redesign the Biological Activities of a Naturally Occurring Amphibian Peptide

Peptide engineering has emerged as a powerful strategy to optimize naturally occurring peptides. Here, the amphibian skin peptide Hp-1891 from Boana pulchella was selected as a model scaffold to investigate the effects of two complementary engineering approaches, namely site-spec...

A Postbiotic Containing Limosilactobacillus fermentum CNCM I-2998 and Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. lactis CNCM I-4831 Reduces Bowel Movement Frequency in Healthy Adults with Self-Reported Unusually Frequent and Soft Stools

Unusually frequent and soft stools may negatively impact the quality of life. A postbiotic containing heat inactivated Limosilactobacillus fermentum CNCM I-2998 and Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. lactis CNCM I-4831 has previously been shown to alleviate gastrointestinal symptom...

Exploring associations among lignin biosynthesis gene expression, anatomy, and digestibility in Megathyrsus maximus cultivars

Context Megathyrsus maximus (Jacq.) B.K.Simon & S.W.L.Jacobs is a fast-growing perennial grass species used as forage for livestock production suitable for grazing and cut-and-carry systems, depending on management in tropical and subtropical regions. Aims This study evaluate...

Early-life exposure to plastics is associated with health parameters and biomarkers in southern giant petrels

The sub-lethal effects of plastics and their associated chemicals on wildlife are poorly understood, primarily due to the lack of reliable indicators. We used southern giant petrels ( Macronectes giganteus, SGP), key scavengers and predators in southern seas, to assess whether ea...
