Water quality and food safety: A review and discussion of risks by Jawahar, Puja, Ringler, Claudia

“…While increased diversification of developing-country diets as a result of agricultural and economic growth has improved nutritional status and human health, the increased consumption of high-value products—particularly fresh fruits, vegetables, dairy and animal products—has lead to significant food safety risks associated with unsafe management and use of water resources These risks are both magnified and masked in developing countries due to a lack of regulation combined with a dearth of data and information on the relations between water use, water quality and food safety risks. …”

De novo sequencing and SNP discovery in the Scandinavian brown bear (Ursus arctos) by Norman, Anita J

“…Development of molecular markers that are well-suited for use in studies on wildlife dispersal can greatly enhance conservation efforts of species affected by climate change and human-induced landscape alterations. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are a promising marker for such studies; however, development of SNPs in non-model species with limited or no sequence data can be challenging. …”

Biodiversitet i det urbana landskapet : implementering av ekologiskt hållbara miljöer i det urbana landskapet och dess inverkan på människans meningsskapande samt attityder by Yttermalm, Rebecca

Crop-livestock interactions and livelihoods in the Gangetic Plains of West Bengal, India: findings from a scoping study by Erenstein, Olaf, Varma, A., Thorpe, W.R., Singh, J.

“…The paper summarizes the findings from a scoping study to assess crop-livestock interactions and rural livelihoods in the Gangetic Plains of West Bengal, drawing from a village survey in three districts (Malda, Nadia and W Medinipur) and secondary data. The rice-cattle based rural livelihoods are in stark contrast with those in the western Indo-Gangetic Plains, whereas the state’s high human and livestock pressure and high poverty pose particular challenges to sustainable intensification and poverty reducing agricultural growth – particularly in the more remote districts. …”

Gene-expression profiling discriminates between cerebral malaria (CM) - susceptible mice and CM-resistant mice by Delhaye, N.F., Coltel, N., Puthier, D., Flori, L., Houlgatte, R., Iraqi, F.A., Nguyen, C., Grau, G.E., Rihet, P.

“…Using a false discovery rate of 5% and the Welch t test, we identified 31 genes with consistent differential expression between CM-R and CM-S mice. These data indicate that microarray analysis may be useful for identification of candidate genes that are potentially responsible for resistance or susceptibility to mouse CM and suggest that candidate genes identified in mice could be specifically tested in humans for an association with disease severity.…”
