Research progress and mitigation strategies for pod shattering resistance in rapeseed by Li Liu, Hafiz Hassan Javed, Yue Hu, Yu-Qin Luo, Xiao Peng, Yong-Cheng Wu

“…The protocol for this literature review involved the following key steps: definition of research questions, development of a search strategy, development of data extraction strategy, synthesis of the extracted data, and organization and analysis of the extracted data. Results The review presents strategies for enhancing rapeseed yield during mechanized harvesting, focusing on four key areas: (i) selecting and breeding shatter-resistant varieties using DNA markers to establish a robust germplasm resource; (ii) optimizing cultivation technologies and agronomic measures to elicit favorable interactions between compact plant-type genotypes and the environment, thereby facilitating nutrient-related regulatory mechanisms of rapeseed pods to improve pod dry weight and resistance; (iii) innovating combine header design and structure to better suit rapeseed harvesting; and (iv) providing training for operators to enhance their harvesting skills. …”

“We really need to surround people with care:” a qualitative examination of service providers’ perspectives on barriers to HIV care in Manitoba, Canada by Cheryl Sobie, Katharina Maier, Margaret Haworth-Brockman, Enrique Villacis-Alvarez, Yoav Keynan, Zulma Vanessa Rueda

“…Results Using a Social Ecological Model of Health framework, our analysis of service provider interviews identified barriers at four different levels: (1) structural level barriers, including limitations to public health and social support systems, geographic barriers, and policy inefficiencies; (2) socio-cultural/community level barriers, such as experiences of racism, stigma and discrimination leading to people living with HIV’s (PLHIV) reduced trust in the health care system; (3) institutional level barriers, which describe how lack of primary care for PLHIV, limitations to the HIV care delivery model in Manitoba, and system capacity limitations have created missed opportunities for linkage to HIV care; and (4) intrapersonal barriers that reflect how the interaction of structural, socio-cultural, and institutional level barriers challenge providers’ role performance and exacerbate risk of burnout and moral distress. …”
