Leadership shift in the global soybean market: Dynamic connectedness approach (TVP-VAR).

The price transmission in international soybean market has been extensively examined. However, recent econometric advancements have enabled the application of dynamic connectedness methodology as outlined by Antonakakis and Gabauer (2017) [1], which is based on a Time-varying Parameter Vector Autoregressive (TVP-VAR) model. This approach captures the time-varying connectedness of time series, considering potential risk shock emitters and receivers.

The rise of Soybean in international commodity markets: A quantile investigation.

The complex interplay between agricultural and energy commodities has been a subject of interest in past research, gaining more relevance recently due to geopolitical events such as the conflict between Ukraine and Russia. This conflict has systematically driven up the prices of both energy and agricultural commodities. Deeply understanding the dynamic interconnections between these commodities and the cascading events resulting from the war is crucial for comprehensive market analysis.

Economics of field size and shape for autonomous crop machines.

Unlabelled: Field size and shape constrain spatial and temporal management of agriculture with implications for farm profitability, field biodiversity and environmental performance. Large, conventional equipment struggles to farm small, irregularly shaped fields efficiently. The study hypothesized that autonomous crop machines would make it possible to farm small, non-rectangular fields profitably, thereby preserving field biodiversity and other environmental benefits.

Bilateral swelling of the salivary glands and sicca symptoms: an unusual differential diagnosis-Kimura's disease, a rare allergic condition with a high IgE serum level-a case report and review of the literature.

A 68-year-old woman presented with bilateral swelling of the salivary glands, sicca symptoms of eyes and mouth, itching, fatigue and weight gain of about 5 kg in the last 2-3 years. As part of a careful diagnostic work up including lab tests for antinuclear antibodies (ANA), antibodies to extractable nuclear antigens (ENA), anti-neutrophilic cytoplasmatic antiobodies (ANCA), immunoglobulin (Ig)G4, a whole body computed tomography (CT) and a parotid biopsy several rheumatic diseases such as Sjoegren's syndrome, IgG4-related disease and sarcoidosis were ruled out and, considering a very high titre of IgE, Kimura's disease was diagnosed. The case and a short review of the literature are presented.
