A total of 120 areca producers (60 members and 60 non-members) were randomly selected from five TUMCOS branch regions. Data were collected through personal interviews and analysed using frequency, per cent and rank order method. The majority of farmers (90.83%) identified labor shortages as a primary production constraint. Financial challenges included inadequate subsidies (58.33%), while marketing challenges were high transportation costs (69.17%) and remote market locations (66.67%). A significant portion of farmers (65%) suggested improving market infrastructure, including transportation, storage, and weighing facilities, to address these issues.","PeriodicalId":16985,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Scientific Research and Reports","volume":"69 7","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141268221","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Investigating how to manage natural resource performance more optimally is crucial for the long-term social and economic advancement of a nation. This study reviews the research progress of performance management of natural resources (including water resources) based on the pertinent literature of \"Performance management of natural resources\" and \"performance management and evaluation of nature resources\" in Web of Science. Through a review of the literature and inductive analysis, the authors found that the pursuit of sustainable resource consumption and management has emerged as the frontier direction of study. However, there is still room for development in the natural resource performance management evaluation system and methods, as well as the requirement for a comprehensive conceptual interpretation and analytical framework. As the literature on the factors impacting the success of natural resource management is currently lacking in depth, future research should concentrate on bolstering the usage of quantitative models. Enhancing the combination of research and quantitative models is also essential. This study builds research framework for natural resource performance management based on the body of current literature and the real-world experience of nations worldwide. In order to support decision-making for the sustainable use of natural resources, the authors describe the process and mechanism of performance management of natural resources and provide some workable evaluation methods based on a variety of evaluation objectives, subjects, and means.","PeriodicalId":16985,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Scientific Research and Reports","volume":"55 19","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141269771","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This comprehensive review explores the multifaceted nature of food allergies, shedding light on the intricate interplay of biological and chemical factors. We delve into the mechanisms of allergen recognition and sensitization, genetic predisposition, and the role of the gut microbiome. Moreover, we examine the influence of food processing techniques, additives, and cross-reactivity in the development and severity of food allergies. Food allergies, an adverse health condition triggered by the immune system's hypersensitivity to certain food proteins, have been rising globally, affecting millions of individuals and posing significant public health challenges. This comprehensive review explores the biological and chemical factors influencing the development, manifestation, and management of food allergies. Key biological factors include genetic predisposition, age, and immune system interactions, such as the roles of immunoglobulin E (IgE) and non-IgE mediated responses. Additionally, microbiota composition and environmental exposures during critical windows of immune development are examined. Chemical factors encompass the molecular structure of allergens, food processing methods, and the presence of food additives and contaminants. Advances in diagnostic techniques, such as component-resolved diagnostics and epitope mapping, along with emerging therapies like immunotherapy and biologics, are discussed. The review emphasizes the need for interdisciplinary approaches integrating molecular biology, immunology, and environmental science to develop effective prevention and treatment strategies. Understanding these complex interactions is crucial for reducing the burden of food allergies and improving the quality of life for affected individuals.","PeriodicalId":16985,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Scientific Research and Reports","volume":"9 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141273673","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
