This scientometric investigation analyses the comprehensive evolution of research trends, publications and citations over time, as well as keyword occurrences, top productive authors, sources and the most cited documents published on universal human values (UHV). For this study, scientometric information comprising 620 documents was extracted from the lens database, published from 1943 to 2024, using search keywords such as 'universal human values' or 'universal human value'. In this study, the quantitative data analysis was conducted utilizing MS Excel (2021) and the VOSviewer (version 1.6.20) software. The findings of this investigation indicated that the publications in the field of UHV emerged in the 1940s; however, the first publication on UHV was published in 1943. The maximum number of publications (N = 101) was found in 2023, and the maximum number of citations (N = 282) was received in 1995. A total of 423 (68%) documents were published as articles. The most productive author is Anna K. D & ouml;ring. Doring has published 5 documents and received 175 citations. The most fruitful source is the 'Social Science Research Network', and the most cited document is Diener and Diener (1995, Social Indicators Research, Vol. 36[3], 275-286). The most common and trending keywords are humans and social values, which have been used in UHV-related published documents. This investigation will be valuable for prospective researchers who want to conduct novel studies on the various dimensions of UHVs. By going through this article, independent researchers, faculty, NGO workers and policy constructors will be able to find out the most popular keywords, mostly cited authors and documents, and also the top productive sources of UHVs' research domain.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) are becoming potent tools in agriculture where they are considered as promoters for decision transforming making, automation, and precision control of crop production systems. Fruit crops, which are highly vulnerable to climatic fluctuations, pest and outbreaks, soil conditions, and management practices, were among those disease tech most impacted by the adoption of AI-based technologies. These high solutions bring fresh approaches to boosting productivity, quality and sustainability in horticultural production systems. In fruit crop production, AI can be applied to yield prediction, early disease and pest detection, harvest, and quality assessment precision irrigation and fertilization, robotic of fruits. Combining technologies, such as remote sensing, Internet of Things (IoT), robotics, and big data analysis, AI systems enable farmers and crop health, manage resources efficiently, and make scientists to track informed decisions. The recent studies reveal that AI-enabled technologies resource use efficiency, and facilitate better crop monitoring, increase promote sustainable agriculture. Nevertheless, there are multiple challenges to the adoption of AI and ML in fruit crop management despite their potential opportunities, such as high cost of implementation, limited availability of technology, and lack of awareness of high quality data, the complexity of the AI in horticulture is the high potential among growers. The adoption of expected to be boosted by continuous development of digital technologies, enhanced data availability, and enabling policy environment. In this review, we thoroughly discuss the applications, techniques, merits, demerits and future opportunities of AI and ML in fruit crop management with a special focus on generation of sustainable horticulture. their contribution in building the next
Nanotechnology has emerged as a transformative field in modern agriculture, providing innovative solutions to enhance fruit crop productivity, improve post-harvest quality, and minimize environmental impacts. This review consolidates current advancements in the application of engineered nanoparticles (NPs), including metal, metal oxide, carbon-based, polymeric, lipid, and silica nanoparticles, across the entire fruit production value chain—from pre-sowing treatments and crop protection to intelligent packaging and quality monitoring. The role of nano-fertilizers in improving the efficiency of macro- and micronutrient delivery is critically evaluated, along with the effectiveness of nano-pesticides and nano-fungicides in disease management. Significant progress in nano-coatings and nano-enabled packaging technologies for extending post-harvest shelf life is also highlighted. Furthermore, special emphasis is placed on nanosensor platforms for real-time detection of ethylene, mycotoxins, pathogens, and pesticide residues. This review also explores the underlying mechanisms of nanoparticle uptake, translocation, and phytotoxicity in plants, and discusses current regulatory frameworks governing the use of nanomaterials in food systems. Despite notable advancements, challenges such as scalability, cost-effectiveness, nano-ecotoxicological concerns, and consumer acceptance remain critical. Finally, key research gaps are identified, and a roadmap is proposed for the responsible and sustainable integration of nanotechnology in fruit production systems.
This study re-examines the degree of international capital mobility in the BRICS countries (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa) during the period 1994–2018 using a panel data framework. The analysis is based on the Feldstein–Horioka (1980) hypothesis, which posits that the correlation between domestic saving and domestic investment serves as an indicator of the extent of international capital mobility. A high saving–investment correlation suggests low capital mobility, whereas a weak correlation indicates greater integration with international capital markets. Utilizing Dynamic Ordinary Least Squares (DOLS) for panel we estimate the saving-retention coefficient (). The long-run saving-retention coefficient is estimated at rejecting both complete capital autarky () and perfect capital mobility (). The study concludes low capital mobility in BRICS countries indicating macroeconomic policy constraint, such as preservation of monetary sovereignty, exchange rate stabilization. Keywords: International Capital Mobility, Feldstein–Horioka Hypothesis, BRICS, Panel Data Analysis, Domestic Saving, Domestic Investment, Financial Integration, Capital Account Liberalization.
This review summarizes this complex connection between the phytochemical diversity of horticultural crops and its antioxidant activity as being not a uniform property but the particular action of particular profiles of compounds, say anthocyanins in berries and flavanones in citrus and tannins in pomes. It emphasizes the roles played by genotype, environment, and postharvest processing of this potential. Although in vitro assays are crucial screening tools, to fill the bioactivity gap, more complex models need to be developed, taking into consideration bioavailability and synergistic matrix effects, with evidence of health benefits provided by epidemiological and intervention studies. The future is dependent on standardization of the protocols, the implementation of integrated-omics and biotechnological technology in crop improvement, and the entrenching of sustainability in the form of circular biorefinery. Finally, to achieve the full potential of fruit bioactives will require a multidisciplinary/ holistic approach, which exists between accurate phytochemistry to confirmed human health-effects and long-term market value.
