“…In this sense, FAGRO appears as a crucial actor connecting different members of the network. Different from studies that apply SNA to analyze knowledge diffusion and adoption of particular technologies identifying processing industries (Gava et al, 2017) and input companies (Mohankumar et al, 2024) as central nodes in knowledge networks, we expected our findings to show very limited participation of firms in the network.…”

“…It has been applied to analyze a variety of topics concerned with agricultural research and technology. SNA has been mostly used to analyze agricultural technology diffusion and adoption in different contexts (Aguilar-Gallegos et al, 2015;Filippini et al, 2020;Gava et al, 2017;Mohankumar et al, 2024;Ramírez, 2013;Wang et al 2020), weather and market information flow among farmers (Simon et al, 2021), the development of farming approaches like precision agriculture (Aleixandre-Tudó et al, 2018), or the collaboration of multistakeholder partnerships in agricultural innovation for developing countries (Hermans et al, 2017;Vishnu et al, 2020). Some other studies developed SNA to study trends in specific crops as it is the case with rice in India (Kumar et al, 2020) and China (Sun and Yuan, 2020).…”

Scientific collaboration networks connect researchers across institutions and academic disciplines. Agricultural research involves multiple stakeholders and academic disciplines to address increasingly complex and diverse research agendas. However, the dynamics of collaboration and the patterns of interaction in the agricultural sciences have been little investigated. Uruguay has a rich tradition in agricultural research, but little is known about the ways in which institutional and interdisciplinary collaboration occur and have evolved recently. This article uses relational data from projects documented in researchers’ vitas (CVs) to examine patterns of collaboration in agricultural research in Uruguay during the period 2000–2017. Collaboration networks were explored with social network analysis (SNA) resulting in networks involving varied institutions and academic disciplines. An inter-institutional network with a center and periphery structure is revealed with long-standing science and technology centers as the fundamental nodes. Interdisciplinary collaborations show diversification over time with more academic fields involved in research projects in the agricultural sciences. Joint research between agricultural sciences and other academic fields to address complex current phenomena could benefit from increasing connections with multiple fields in the environmental, social, and health sciences. The study shows the usefulness of SNA and research project data to improve the understanding of collaboration patterns in agricultural research.

“…In parenting, family relationships with children are the main factor so that children can establish good relationships with others (Madaminovna, 2022). As described in a ties belonging to Granovetter (2005), family as a strong ties is more likely to be connected emotionally which will greatly determine the quality and speed of information flow (Mohankumar et al, 2023). This strong tie can also illustrate a reality proven in research during the pandemic in Germany, that parental tension is a huge risk factor for children's positive psychological adjustment to the pandemic (Essler et al, 2023).…”

This study aims to explain the form of social care character and the strategy of instilling social care character in farmer families. This research is qualitative research that uses a descriptive method based on a farmer's family in Demangan Village, Karangdowo Kabupaten Klaten District. The subject of the study was a peasant family. Data collection uses observation, interview, and documentation techniques. This research is based on the theory of Pierre Bourdieu who initiated his thoughts on habitus, arena, and capital that emphasized structure in shaping social life. The results showed that the form of social care character in the family includes empathy for others, sympathy, carrying out social actions, helpfulness, altruism, givers, having initiative, being willing to sacrifice, not prioritizing profits, prioritizing usefulness for others, and being sincere. The strategy of instilling character values in farming families uses strategies of exemplary, habitual, reinforcement or advice, environmental conditioning, and local wisdom. The form of social care character and the strategy of instilling a social care character takes place in the family environment, school environment, and community environment

“…Bridging the gap between scientific knowledge and how the public perceives information is a challenging task, especially with the media sharing information about pesticides. The framing of pesticide-related issues, the balance between benefits and risks, the portrayal of scientific consensus, and the implications of media-driven narratives all contribute to the intricate dynamics of risk communication [7,8].…”

Present research employs a survey method to explore the intricate relationship between media exposures and public perceptions of pesticide use in agriculture. A well-structured Google questionnaire was shared for data collection from the participants belonging to the northern district of Haryana, encompassing Panchkula, Ambala, Yamunanagar, Kurukshetra, Kaithal, and Karnal. A total 350 respondents participated in the online survey. The study reveals that the respondents who perceive media coverage as balanced are more likely to express concerns about pesticide use. The study tries to find out the degree of concern, trust, accuracy, and statistical significance. In terms of the perception influenced by media portrayals on pesticide use, a significant association is observed (Chi-square = 41.029, p < 0.0001). The analysis of media sources accuracy reveals a statistically significant association (Chi-square = 58.156, p < 0.0001). Respondents who perceived media sources as "Very accurate" reported higher levels of concern about pesticide use in agricultural practices, emphasizing the impact of perceived media accuracy on public concerns about pesticide use. The study found a strong link between media influence and the level of concern regarding pesticide use.
