Introduction Stunting is a significant and growing global problem that resisting scientific attempts to understand it in terms of direct nutrition-related determinants. In recent years, research included more complex, indirect multifactorial determinants expanded include multisectoral lifestyle-related approaches. The United Kingdom Research Initiative Global Challenges Fund's (UKRI GCRF) Action Against Hub starts on the premise dominant factors stunting may vary between contexts life phases...
The eradication of BVD in the UK is technically possible but appears to be socially untenable. following study explored farmer attitudes control schemes relation advice networks and information sharing, shared aims goals, motivation benefits membership, notions as a priority disease toward regulation. Two concepts from organisational management literature framed study: citizenship behaviour where actions individuals support collective good (but are not explicitly recognised such) peer...
Introduction The COVID-19 pandemic has offset some of the gains achieved in global health, particularly relation to maternal, child health and nutrition. As pregnancy is a period plasticity where insults acting on maternal environment have far-reaching consequences, had significant impact prenatal outcomes, intrauterine postnatal development infants. This research will investigate both direct indirect impacts during growth early childhood. Methods analysis Community hospital data Hyderabad...
Introduction Child stunting has a complex aetiology, especially in the first 1000 days of life. Nutrition interventions alone have not produced expected impacts reducing/preventing child stunting, indicating importance understanding interplay between environmental, physiological and psychological factors influencing nutritional status. This study will investigate maternal nutrition, health well-being status associated through assessment of: (1) anthropometry, (2) biomarkers nutrition status,...
Poverty is often presented as an evolving concept linked to dominant development paradigms. However, changes in the meaning of specific topics comprising definitions poverty have been largely overlooked. Therefore, authors adopted a synchronic approach evaluate contained within 159 offered over 30-year period from 1970s 2000s. Component terms were investigated for their stability meaning, through application De Saussure’s concepts signifier and signified. The results illustrate that did not...
Contagious bovine pleuropneumonia (CBPP) is an economically important trans-boundary cattle disease which affects food security and livelihoods. A conjoint analysis-contingent valuation was carried out on 190 households in Narok South District of Kenya to measure willingness pay (WTP) demand for CBPP vaccine vaccination as well factors affecting WTP. The mean WTP calculated at Shillings (KSh) 212.48 (USD 3.03) using a with the characteristics that were preferred by farmers (preferred...
Partially dissolved crystals of curcumin grow faster and exhibit an accelerated growth rate hysteresis.
At present, national-level policies concerning the eradication and control of bovine viral diarrhoea (BVD) differ widely across Europe. Some Scandinavian countries have enacted strong regulatory frameworks to eradicate disease, whereas other few formal policies. To examine these differences, attitudes stakeholders policy makers in 17 European were investigated. A web-based questionnaire was sent makers, government private sector veterinarians, representatives farmers' organisations. In...
Abstract The study explores the uptake of livestock vaccination among poor farming communities in Tamil Nadu State, India by revisiting innovation diffusion theory. Overall, 601 farmers participated study. We found adoption particular vaccines was strongly influenced socio‐cultural grouping i.e. caste, rather than other factors such as income, age, education‐level or gender. Adoption also related to specific knowledge frames regarding disease causality, any wider ethno‐veterinary beliefs....
Abstract Within the literature, many authors have argued that rapid growth of field Information and Communication Technologies for Development (ICT4D) has resulted in an emphasis on applications rather than theory. However, it is clear not theories, integration theory practice, often lacking. To address this gap, begin by exploring some popular theoretical approaches to ICT4D with a view identifying those theories relevant shared impacts: development, delivery communication. unify practice...
CBPP is an important transboundary disease in sub-Saharan Africa whose control urgent. Participatory data collection involving 52 focus group discussions 37 village clusters and key informant interviews, a cross-sectional study 232 households post-vaccination follow up 203 was carried out 2006-2007 Narok South district of Kenya. This to investigate knowledge, attitudes, perceptions practices (KAPP) associated with as well the adverse reactions animals order advice policy. The community...
In the global South, dairying is often promoted as a means of poverty alleviation. Yet, under conditions climate warming, little known regarding ability small-scale dairy producers to maintain production and/or robustness possible adaptation options in meeting challenges presented, particularly heat stress. The authors created simple, deterministic model explore influence breed and stress relief on smallholder farmers Odisha, India. Breeds included indigenous Indian (non-descript), low-grade...
Abstract The authors illustrate how notions of poverty are constructed around specific ‘memes’, or replicating units cultural information, which concepts and ideas develop change. Three ‘memes’ characterising definitions over the previous years were identified: ‘basic needs’, ‘multidimensional’ ‘deprivation’. analysis illustrated semantic space in each term was utilised to extent it changed modified time by different actors. results revealed compete with one another across discourse. Within...
Abstract Information Communication Technologies (ICTs) have the ability to rapidly connect poor both wider communities and larger knowledge sets. However, while use of ICTs in development has increased dramatically recent years, there is a dearth evidence regarding impact uptake programmes. Therefore, following article describes El Promotor, multi‐media, interactive programme for farmers on Bolivian Altiplano. The study further examined relationship between new existing animal health...
