Populist politics in Africa por Resnick, Danielle

“…Populism is variously viewed as a political strategy aimed at fostering direct links between a leader and the masses, an ideational concept that relies on discourses that conjure a corrupt elite and the pure people, and a set of socio-cultural performances characterized by a leader’s charisma, theatrics, and transgression of accepted norms. …”

Cooperation and the management of local common resources in remote rural communities por Ward, Patrick S., Alvi, Muzna, Makhija, Simrin, Spielman, David J.

“…It is widely recognized that local management of common pool resources can be more efficient and more effective than private markets or top-down government management, especially in remote rural communities in which the institutions may be weak or prone to elite capture. In this paper, we explore the propensity for cooperation in the management of local common resources by introducing a variant of a public goods game among remote rural communities in the state of Odisha, in eastern India. …”

Historical perspectives on forest policy change in Asia: an introduction por Edmunds, D., Wollenberg, Eva Karoline

“…Devolution policies will fail to meet the expectations of the poorest forest users unless they address historical ‘holdovers’, particularly ideologies and institutions within government that continue to favor centralized control and elite/subordinate relations at the local level. At the same time, policies must include scope for building capacity at the local level to deal with new forests and new institutional and political conditions. …”

Aortainsufficiens hos häst : patofysiologi och behandling por Bergenwall, Sebastian

“…The root cause for aortic insufficiency can be varied, for example; endocarditis, ventricular septum defect or congenital valve disease but the most common are progressive valve degeneration or elite competition. Depending on the root cause, different changes can be observed on the aorta valves, but they do all have the same effect, the valves do not seal properly and blood leaks backwards. …”

A chickpea genetic variation map based on the sequencing of 3,366 genomes por Varshney, Rajeev K., Roorkiwal, Manish, Sun, Shuai, Bajaj, Prasad, Chitikineni, Annapurna, Thudi, Mahendar, Singh, Narendra P., Du, Xiao, Upadhyaya, Hari D., Khan, Aamir W., Wang, Yue, Garg, Vanika, Fan, Guangyi, Cowling, Wallace A., Crossa, José, Gentzbittel, Laurent, Voss-Fels, Kai Peter, Valluri, Vinod Kumar, Sinha, Pallavi, Singh, Vikas K., Ben, Cécile, Rathore, Abhishek, Punna, Ramu, Singh, Muneendra K., Tar’an, Bunyamin, Bharadwaj, Chellapilla, Yasin, Mohammad, Pithia, Motisagar S., Singh, Servejeet, Soren, Khela Ram, Kudapa, Himabindu, Jarquín, Diego, Cubry, Philippe, Hickey, Lee T., Dixit, Girish Prasad, Thuillet, Anne-Céline, Hamwieh, Aladdin, Kumar, Shiv, Deokar, Amit A., Chaturvedi, Sushil K., Francis, Aleena, Howard, Réka, Chattopadhyay, Debasis, Edwards, David, Lyons, Eric, Vigouroux, Yves, Hayes, Ben J., von Wettberg, Eric, Datta, Swapan K., Yang, Huanming, Nguyen, Henry T., Wang, Jian, Siddique, Kadambot H. M., Mohapatra, Trilochan, Bennetzen, Jeffrey L., Xu, Xun, Liu, Xin

“…The chromosomal locations of deleterious mutations responsible for limited genetic diversity and decreased fitness were identified in elite germplasm. We identified superior haplotypes for improvement-related traits in landraces that can be introgressed into elite breeding lines through haplotype-based breeding, and found targets for purging deleterious alleles through genomics-assisted breeding and/or gene editing. …”

The transformation of property rights in Kenya's Maasiland: triggers and motivations por Mwangi, Esther

“…Their supporting a transition to individual rights also represents a rational response anticipated to secure land claims against unauthorized appropriations by both Maasai and non-Maasai elite. Given the differentiated structure of group ranch communities, the costs and benefits of property transformation were unevenly distributed. …”
