Abstract Background Evidence-based parenting programmes have strong evidence in preventing and mitigating violence, but in-person are challenging to deliver at scale. ParentApp is an open-source, offline-first app-based adaptation of the Parenting for Lifelong Health Parents Teens programme promote playful positive parenting, reduce risks sexual violence victimisation, prevent against adolescents. This study aims evaluate effectiveness cost-effectiveness compared attention-control group....
Violence against adolescents is a universal reality, with severe individual and societal costs. There critical need for scalable effective violence prevention strategies such as parenting programmes, particularly in low- middle-income countries where rates of maltreatment are highest. Digital interventions may be cost-effective alternative to in-person delivery, yet maximising caregiver engagement substantial challenge. This trial employs cluster randomised factorial experiment novel...
Microphiopholis gracillima can autotomize and then regenerate the autotomized central disc, including integument, gut, gonads. Experiments were carried out to determine relative importance of internal nutrient reserve translocation exogenous uptake during regeneration process. Approximately 60% dry body weight M. is organic material. Intact animals held for three weeks in natural seawater did not change significantly weight, caloric content, or concentration protein, carbohydrates, lipids....
Abstract Background Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a serious public health issue which experienced sharp incline during the onset of COVID-19. Increases in other forms violence, such as against children (VAC), have also been linked to pandemic, and there calls for greater prevention efforts that tackle both concurrently. The COVID-19 crisis has highlighted urgent need evidence-based scalable interventions target multiple family violence. Parenting programmes shown promising results...
<sec> <title>BACKGROUND</title> Intimate partner violence (IPV) and against children (VAC) are global issues with severe consequences. Intersections shared by the two forms of have led to calls for joint programming efforts that prevent both IPV VAC. Parenting programmes been identified as a key entry point addressing multiple family violence. Building on prevention material has integrated into parenting programme ParentText, digital chatbot, this pilot study seeks explore parents’...
Land use transformation in the rapidly growing megacity of Bengaluru South India has greatly influenced its lake ecosystems. To gain insights into dynamics ecosystems along an urban-rural gradient, we analyzed lake-cover changes (along with a 300m buffer zone) six lakes from 2002 to 2022. The studied were Bellandur and Dodda Bommasandra (urban), Attur Puttenhalli (peri-urban), Chudahalli Vrishabhavathi (rural). Supervised maximum likelihood Use/Land Cover (LULC) classifications conducted on...

Violence and abuse exert extensive health, social, economic burdens on adolescents in low- middle-income countries. Digital parenting interventions are promising for mitigating risks at scale. However, their potential public health impact hinges meaningful engagement with the digital platform. The objective of this study was to evaluate 3 intervention design implementation factors aimed increasing a noncommercialized, offline-first smartphone app caregivers Tanzania, partnership United...

Population Medicine considers the following types of articles:• Research Papers -reports data from original research or secondary dataset analyses.• Review -comprehensive, authoritative, reviews within journal's scope.These include both systematic and narrative reviews.• Short Reports -brief reports research.• Policy Case Studies articles on policy development at a regional national level.• Study Protocols -articles describing protocol study.• Methodology -papers that present different...
Missing covariate values are a common problem in survival studies, and the method of choice when handling such incomplete data is often multiple imputation. However, it not obvious how this can be used most effectively an function other covariates. For example, body mass index (BMI) ratio weight height-squared. In situation, following question arises: Should composite as BMI imputed directly, or advantageous to impute its constituents, height, first construct afterwards? We address through...
Every African country has a National Meteorological Service (NMS) which provides short- term forecasts, seasonal and holds historical climactic data. Historical data are used in many applications, including PICSA (Participatory Integrated Climatic Services for Agriculture). The project uses climatic to support farmers intermediaries. Analyses of currently use statistics package called Instat; this is soon be replaced by the facilities new menu R-Instat. This poster focusses on R-Instat,...
