Unlabelled: Farming in Europe has been the scene of several important socio-economic and environmental developments and crises throughout the last century. Therefore, an understanding of the historical driving forces of farm change helps identifying potentials for navigating future pathways of agricultural development. However, long-term driving forces have so far been studied, e.

Article Synopsis
- This study aimed to compare the effects of etanercept (ETN) and adalimumab (ADA) on patient-reported well-being in juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) using real-world data from the Pharmachild registry.
- Among 158 eligible patients, 90 were matched for comparison, revealing that ETN users reported significantly better improvements in well-being scores compared to ADA users at follow-up.
- Both treatments were effective overall; however, ETN appeared to provide a greater benefit in well-being despite similar joint count reductions and adverse events between the two groups.
Introduction: At least one in four people treated by the primary care improving access to psychological therapies (IAPT) programme in England experiences distressing psychotic experiences (PE) in addition to common mental disorder (CMD). These individuals are less likely to achieve recovery. IAPT services do not routinely screen for nor offer specific treatments for CMD including PE.

- - The study aimed to identify risk factors for Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) in children with Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA) by analyzing data from the Pharmachild register and comparing characteristics of patients with and without IBD.
- - Out of 8,942 JIA patients, only 48 (0.54%) developed IBD, with notable differences in demographics such as being predominantly male, older at diagnosis, more likely to have a family history of autoimmune conditions, and more often associated with enthesitis-related arthritis.
- - Key predictors for developing IBD included having enthesitis-related arthritis and a family history of autoimmune disease, while certain therapies like etanercept were linked to significantly higher rates
This data article describes data of magnetic stratigraphy and anisotropy of isothermal remanent magnetization (AIRM) from "Magnetic properties of early Pliocene sediments from IODP Site U1467 (Maldives platform) reveal changes in the monsoon system" [1]. Acquisition of isothermal magnetization on pilot samples and anisotropy of isothermal remanent magnetization are reported as raw data; magnetostratigraphic data are reported as characteristic magnetization (ChRM).

Dating the deposits of SAM wind-driven currents in IODP cores from the Maldives yields an age of 12. 9 Ma indicating an abrupt SAM onset, over a short period of 300 kyrs.
