A one health approach to plant health by Vivian Hoffmann, Birthe Paul, Titilayo Falade, Arshnee Moodley, Navin Ramankutty, Janice Olawoye, Rousseau Djouaka, Elikana Lekei, Nicoline de Haan, Peter Ballantyne, Jeff Waage

“…We focus on two primary trade-offs that lie at the interface of plant health with animal, ecosystem, and human health: protecting plant health through use of agrochemicals versus minimizing risks to human health and antimicrobial and insecticide resistance; and ensuring food security by prioritizing the health of crops to maximize agricultural production versus protecting environmental systems critical for human health. We discuss challenges and opportunities for advancement associated with each of these, taking into account how the priorities and constraints of stakeholders may vary by gender, and argue that building the capacity of regulatory bodies in low- and middle-income countries to conduct cost–benefit analysis has the potential to improve decision-making in the context of these and other multi-dimensional trade-offs.…”

Optimal Pattern Synthesis of Linear Array and Broadband Design of Whip Antenna Using Grasshopper Optimization Algorithm by Hengfeng Wang, Chao Liu, Huaning Wu, Bin Li, Xu Xie

“…Antenna arrays with high directivity, low side-lobe level, and null control in desired direction and whip antenna with wider bandwidth both need to be optimized to meet different needs of communication systems. A new natural heuristic algorithm simulating social behavior of grasshoppers, grasshopper optimization algorithm (GOA), is applied to electromagnetic field as a new effective technology to solve the antenna optimization problem for the first time. …”

A Comprehensive Review of the Strategies to Reduce Retinoid-Induced Skin Irritation in Topical Formulation by Angga Cipta Narsa, Cecep Suhandi, Janifa Afidika, Salsabil Ghaliya, Khaled M. Elamin, Nasrul Wathoni

“…The findings obtained indicate that the following methods can be used to lessen retinoid-induced irritation in topical formulations: developing drug delivery systems in the formulation, such as encapsulating retinoids, transforming retinoids into nanoparticles, forming complexes (e.g., with cyclodextrin), and binding retinoids with carriers (e.g., polymers, NLC, SLN), adding ingredients with anti-irritation activity, skin barrier improvement, and increased skin hydration to retinoid formulations (e.g., combinations of glucosamine, trehalose, ectoine, sucralfate, omega-9, and 4-t-butylcyclohexanol, addition of ethanolic bark extract of Alstonia scholaris R. …”

The internal conflicts and contemporary dilemmas of America’s national characteristics by Shaoqing Zhou

“…While the causes behind the rise of evangelical Christian nationalism in the United States and its resulting political effects are multifaceted, fundamentally, these developments are closely linked to issues that have existed throughout the history of the American nation-building process, such as the ambiguity of national objectives and the conflict of value systems. The root cause lies in the instability and multifaceted nature of the American national characteristics. …”
