The role of global data sets for riverine flood risk management at national scales por Bernhofen, M. V., Cooper, S., Trigg, M., Mdee, A., Carr, A., Bhave, A., Solano-Correa, Y. T., Pencue-Fierro, E. L., Teferi, E., Haile, Alemseged Tamiru, Yusop, Z., Alias, N. E., Sa'adi, Z., Ramzan, M. A. B., Dhanya, C. T., Shukla, P.

“…In this study, we evaluate the usefulness of global data for assessing flood risk in five countries: Colombia, England, Ethiopia, India, and Malaysia. National flood risk assessments are carried out for each of the five countries using six data sets of global flood hazard, seven data sets of global population, and three different methods for calculating vulnerability. …”

Comparison of a new multiplex immunoassay for measurement of ferritin, soluble transferrin receptor, retinol-binding protein, c-reactive protein and α1-acid-glycoprotein concentrat... por Karakochuk, Crystal, Henderson, Amanda, Samson, Kaitlyn, Aljaadi, Abeer, Devlin, Angela, Becquey, Elodie, Wirth, James, Rohner, Fabian

“…Our primary aim was to conduct a method-comparison study to compare five biomarkers (ferritin, sTfR, RBP, CRP, and AGP) measured with the Quansys assay and a widely-used s-ELISA (VitMin Lab, Willstaett, Germany) with use of serum samples from 180 women and children from Burkina Faso, Cambodia, and Malaysia. Bias and concordance were used to describe the agreement in values measured by the two methods. …”

Nepal’s 2072 federal constitution: Implications for the governance of the agricultural sector por Kyle, Jordan, Resnick, Danielle

“…Because Nepal is embarking on a pathway to more decentralized governance, which has been well-trodden by a number of other countries, the paper proceeds by examining five case studies, drawing lessons from India, Indonesia, Kenya, Malaysia, and South Africa. Based on these analyses, the paper offers policy recommendations on how the sector can be restructured to meet the constitutional provisions, while simultaneously ensuring that the government can deliver on its long-term objectives to develop the agricultural sector.…”

Crop photoperiodism model 2.0 for the flowering time of sorghum and rice that includes daily changes in sunrise and sunset times and temperature acclimation por Clerget, B., Sidibe, M., Bueno, C.S., Grenier, C., Kawakata, T., Domingo, A.J., Layaoen, H.L., Gutiérrez-Palacios, N.D., Bernal, J.H., Trouche, G., Chantereau, J.

“…The goal of this study was to update the photoperiodism model with knowledge acquired since its conception.A large dataset was gathered, including four 2-year series of monthly sowings of 28 sorghum varieties in Mali and two 1-year series of monthly sowings of eight rice varieties in the Philippines to compare with previously published monthly sowings in Japan and Malaysia, and data from sorghum breeders in France, Nicaragua and Colombia. …”

Crise economique et changements politiques en Indonesie: premiers effets sur le secteur forestier por Sunderlin, William D.

“…The author reviews the likely effects on the forest sector. (1) Decreased demand for Indonesian plywood from main importers (Japan, South Korea and Taiwan) is largely compensated by increased demand from other countries and Malaysia's decision to restrict its wood product exports. (2) Expansion of agriculture will occur partly at the expense of forest cover: spontaneous clearing by farmers, and large scale clearings for agro-industry plantations, mainly oil palm, then cocoa, coffee, rubber trees, pepper, as well as shrimp ponds in mangroves. (3) Transmigration will probably not slow down, foreign aid compensating for the decline of State aid. (4) Unemployed people in the urban sector migrate to rural areas, and young people in the rural areas remain there which may increase pressure on forests for three reasons: a) incentives to expand plantations for export; b) incentives to produce food crops locally (rice, maize, soya) to reduce imports; c) shortage of capital for inputs, that may encourage extensive agriculture. (5) Expansion of mining in forest areas (coal, iron, and nickel) may lead to degradation of important protection forests. (6) The likely slowdown of major road programmes will reduce their direct and indirect impacts on forests. (7) Policy changes as a prerequisite to IMF loans will have negative effects on forest conservation when they encourage plantations for export (oil palms). (8) President Habibie has launched a wave of policy reforms to remedy former abuses in granting timber concessions, and the resulting forest deterioration. …”

Climate regulation of fire emissions and deforestation in equatorial Asia por Werf, G.R. van der, Dempewolf, Jan, Trigg, S.N., Randerson, J.T., Kasibhatla, P.S., Giglio, L., Murdiyarso, Daniel, Peters, W., Morton, D.C., Collatz, G.J., Dolman, A.J., DeFries, Ruth S.

“…Here we used several sources of satellite data with biogeochemical and atmospheric modeling to better understand and constrain fire emissions from Indonesia, Malaysia, and Papua New Guinea during 2000–2006. We found that average fire emissions from this region [128 ± 51 (1σ) Tg carbon (C) year −1 , T = 10 12 ] were comparable to fossil fuel emissions. …”

Quantitative trait loci for yield and yield components in an Oryza sativa x Oryza rufipogon BC2F2 population evaluated in an upland environment por Moncada, MP, Martínez Racines, César Pompilio, Borrero Correa, Jaime C., Chatel, M, Gauch Junior, H, Guimarães, Elcio Perpétuo, Tohme, Joseph M., McCouch, Susan R.

“…An advanced backcross breeding strategy was used to identify quantitative trait loci (QTLs) associated with eight agronomic traits in a BC2F2 population derived from an interspecific cross between Caiapo, an upland Oryza sativa subsp. japonica rice variety from Brazil, and an accession of Oryza rufipogon from Malaysia. Caiapo is one of the most-widely grown dryland cultivars in Latin America and may be planted as a monoculture or in a multicropping system with pastures. …”
