International entrepreneurship in Africa: the roles of institutional voids, entrepreneurial networks and gender
This paper explored how institutional voids (market-unfriendly regulations and corruption) in the home country affect the internationalization degree of early-stage entrepreneurs in Africa. We examined the contingent roles ... -
Profiling a new postbiotic product for its application in fish aquaculture
Weissella cibaria is a lactic acid bacteria that has been receiving great interest in the last decade; however, its research into aquaculture remains insufficient. In this context, the resistance to pH 3–5, bile salts ... -
Evaluation of soil moisture estimation techniques based on Sentinel-1 observations over wheat fields
Soil moisture (SM) is a key variable in agriculture and its monitoring is essential. SM determines the amount of water available to plants, having a direct impact on the development of crops, on the forecasting of crop ... -
Effects of climate change on streamflow and nitrate pollution in an agricultural mediterranean watershed in northern Spain
Predicting water quality and quantity response to climate change in a watershed is very difficult due to the complexity and uncertainties in estimating and understanding future hydrological conditions. However, hydrological ... -
Characterization and classification of lulo (Solanum quitoense Lam.) fruits by ripening stage using partial least squares discriminant analysis (PLS-DA 2022)
El lulo o naranjilla (Solanum quitoense Lam.) es una fruta tropical con un gran potencial debido a su contenido de compuestos antioxidantes, biofuncionales y características sensoriales. Actualmente las diferentes formas ... -
Soil moisture modulates biological nitrification inhibitors release in sorghum plants
Background and aims: Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor) is able to exude allelochemicals with biological nitrifcation inhibition (BNI) capacity. Therefore, sorghum might be an option as cover crop since its BNI ability may reduce ... -
Strategies to reduce purge losses in meat products stuffed in plastic casings
Two different meat emulsions were prepared with different physical stability: R1 with 6.28 ± 1.13% total expressible fluid and R2 with 17.7 ± 1.48%. The emulsions were placed in plastic casings at three different surface ... -
Evaluación del efecto conservante de la miel de abejas liofilizada en polvo sobre la carne molida de ternera
El interés por usar sustancias naturales con potencial antimicrobiano crece cada vez más, buscando lograr la conservación de alimentos por periodos más largos. La miel tiene propiedades antioxidantes y antimicrobianas ... -
Differences in specific abdominal fat depots between metabolically healthy and unhealthy children with overweight/obesity: the role of cardiorespiratory fitness
Objectives: Fat depots localization has a critical role in the metabolic health status of adults. Nevertheless, whether that is also the case in children remains under- studied. Therefore, the aims of this study were: (i) ... -
Association of meal timing with body composition and cardiometabolic risk factors in young adults
Purpose: To investigate the association of meal timing with body composition and cardiometabolic risk factors in young adults. Methods: In this cross-sectional study participated 118 young adults (82 women; 22±2 years ... -
The importance of irrigation supply chains within the water footprint: an example from the Pakistani part of the Indus basin
Many environmental studies have shown that a systems approach, including complete supply chains, is relevant for the assessment of the consequences of production and consumption on natural resources. This can also be applied ... -
European fitness landscape for children and adolescents: updated reference values, fitness maps and country rankings based on nearly 8 million test results from 34 countries gathered by the FitBack network
Objectives (1) To develop reference values for health-related fitness in European children and adolescents aged 6-18 years that are the foundation for the web-based, open-access and multilanguage fitness platform (FitBack); ... -
Independent and joined association between socioeconomic indicators and pediatric obesity in Spain: the PASOS study
Childhood obesity is a public health problem worldwide. An important determinant of child and adolescent obesity is socioeconomic status (SES). However, the magnitude of the impact of different SES indicators on pediatric ... -
Vegetable by-products as alternative and sustainable raw materials for ruminant feeding: nutritive evaluation and their inclusion in a novel ration for calf fattening
This research aimed to evaluate the nutritional composition, in vitro digestibility, and gas production kinetics of 15 vegetable by-products generated by the agri-food industry compared with corn silage as a reference raw ... -
High hydrostatic pressure processing to replace texturizing agents on a plant product intended for altered deglutition: a concept proof
High hydrostatic pressure processing (HPP) can cause changes in food texture. These changes can be beneficial when developing food with strict texture specifications as it is the case of food targeted to people with altered ... -
Effect of a dietary intervention based on the mediterranean diet on the quality of life of patients recovered from depression: analysis of the PREDIDEP randomized trial
Introduction: There is substantial evidence supporting that improving diet quality leads to improved healthrelated quality of life (HRQoL). Our major aim was to assess the effectiveness of a Mediterranean diet–based nutritional ... -
The impact of the territorial gradient and the irrigation water price on agricultural production along the first phase of the Navarra Canal in Spain
Water is an issue in Spain, where it is generally scarce, and its availability is highly variable in different areas and times, particularly in agriculture, the main water consumer. Water pricing is one of the policy ... -
Mortality risks after two years in frail and pre-frail older adults admitted to hospital
Background: Frailty is characterized by a progressive decline in the physiological functions of multiple body systems that lead to a more vulnerable condition, which is prone to the development of various adverse events, ... -
Disruption of casein micelles by calcium sequestering salts: from observations to mechanistic insights
In this study, the disruption of casein micelles through the addition of the calcium sequestering salts trisodium citrate (TSC) and sodium hexametaphosphate (NaHMP) was investigated in micellar casein isolate (MCI) suspensions ... -
A fertilisation strategy combining mineral fertiliser and biosolid improves long-term yield and carbon storage in a calcareous soil
At a strategic moment for agricultural soils, which are expected to contribute to climate change mitigation through carbon storage while safely feeding a growing world population, the fertiliser strategies used will be ...
