Strategy and steering in governance: The changing fates of the Argentine Planning Council by Alves Rolo, Rodrigo Hernán, Van Assche, Kristof, Duineveld, Martijn

“…Shocks in general undermine long‐term perspectives and higher‐level planning, but they can also create windows of opportunity. The internal complexity and the persistence of Peronist ideology in Argentina can account for the revivals of national‐level planning in very different ideological contexts, but the recurring shocks, the stubborn difference between rhetoric and reality, the reliance on informality, created a landscape of fragmented governance and often weak institutional capacity. …”

Functionally prioritised whole-genome sequence variants improve the accuracy of genomic prediction for heat tolerance by Cheruiyot, E.K., Haile-Mariam, M., Cocks, B.G., MacLeod, I.M., Mrode, Raphael A., Pryce, J.E

“…The prioritised sequence variants were the most significant SNPs passing a GWAS p-value threshold selected based on sliding 100-kb windows along each chromosome. We used a bull reference set to develop the genomic prediction equations, which were then validated in an independent set of Holstein, Jersey, and crossbred cows. …”

A gentle push towards improved hygiene and food safety through ‘nudge’ interventions by Roesel, Kristina, Kakooza, S., Chirwa, M., Mugizi, Denis, Waiswa, J., Kivali, Velma, Bugeza, James, Étienne, D., Roychowdhury, I., Diaz, L., Cook, Elizabeth A.J.

“…Findings from the initial ‘explore’ phase generated a number of insights on meat handlers’ perceptions and attitudes that were later used to generate ideas and solutions in cocreating nudges during the ‘experiment’ phase: 1) Meat handlers eat the pork they handle at work and have low risk perception; 2) Meat handlers feel their practices are acceptable; 3) Meat handlers see ‘broken windows’ which set the norm for unhygienic behaviour; 4) Meat handlers follow the path of least resistance; 5) Meat handlers keep up appearances for customers; and 6) Owners want to see returns on hygienic investments. …”
