EFFECT OF LEUCAENA LEUCOCEPHALA LEAFY BIOMASS AND NPK FERTILISER ON THE GROWTH AND YIELD OF OKRA, ABELMOSCHUS ESCULENTUS (L.) MOENCH
Authors: MOHAMMED Adams Latif , NASIM Kaddiri Nanbaala Kumodu , MORO Ali
Published: April 2023

Okra, Abelmoschus esculentus (L.) Moench, is a multipurpose vegetable crop grown in tropical and subtropical regions of the world for its immature seed pods and leaves. The crop seldom reaches its yield potential in most of these areas, primarily due to a decline in soil fertility. As a result, a field experiment was carried out at the Faculty of Renewable Natural Resources Demonstration Farm, KNUST-Kumasi to assess the effect of NPK (15:15:15) fertiliser and Leucaena leucocephala leafy biomass application on the growth and yield of okra. The treatment combinations were laid out in a 3 × 3 factorial randomised complete block design with 9 treatments replicated 4 times for a total of 36 experimental units. Leucaena leafy biomass and NPK were evaluated solely and in combinations at a rate of 75 kg N/ha on a weight basis. The treatment combinations were applied as follows: T1 = Control; T2 = 0.14 kg NPK (15:15:15); T3 = 0.07 kg NPK (15:15:15); T4 = 0.5 kg L. leucocephala leafy biomass; T5 = 0.25 kg L. leucocephala leafy biomass; T6 = T2 + T4; T7 = T3 + T5; T8 = T2 + T5; T9 = T3 + T4. The number of days from planting to the first anthesis of okra differed significantly (p ˂ 0.05). T3 showed the least number of days to the first anthesis observation (47 days), while T9 had the highest number of days to the first anthesis (49.3 days). On a weekly basis (starting with 5 weeks after planting, WAP), height was not significantly different among the various treatments. Stem diameter followed a sequence similar to plant height, starting from 5 to 10 WAP, where no significant differences occurred between treatment means. However, mean values revealed that okra plants varied significantly in height; T9 had the tallest plants (27.2 cm), while T2 and T8 had the shortest plants (21.2 and 21.2 cm, respectively). There was a significant difference between the treatment means and stem diameter. In the same advanced line, T9 had the highest stem diameter (9.9 mm), with T5 having the lowest stem diameter (6.9 mm). Fruit yield was also significantly different, with T4 having the most fruit (39,259 fruits per ha) and T8 having the least (19,259 fruits per ha). The fruit dry weight was significantly different, as the highest weight was recorded in T7 (12.5 tonnes/ha) and the lowest was recorded in T9 (5.3 tonnes/ha). The combination treatment T9 [0.07 kg NPK (15:15:15) fertiliser + 0.5 kg L. leucocephala leafy biomass per plot] had a significantly improved height and diameter compared to the other treatments. The highest fruit yield of okra was recorded in T4 (0.5 kg L. leucocephala leafy biomass per plot), and the highest dry weight of okra was registered in T7 (0.07 kg NPK (15:15:15) fertiliser + 0.25 kg L. leucocephala leafy biomass per plot). Therefore, it is recommended that sole L. leucocephala leafy biomass (T4) and its combination with NPK (15:15:15) fertiliser (T9) be adopted by smallholder farmers to cultivate okra in the tropics.

Authors: Ogata Ai , Wambuzi Fred , Nakirya Brenda D. , Onzima Alex
Published: April 2023

Context: Child obesity, one of the major contributors to noncommunicable diseases in developing countries, is rising following drastic economic growth and lifestyle changes. In Uganda, noncommunicable diseases as a cause of death have increased from 15% in 1990 to 35% in 2019.

Aim: The study aimed to investigate schoolchildren’s obesity status, lifestyle behaviors, and the factors of obesity in urban Uganda.

Methods: The study was conducted with a cross-sectional, descriptive quantitative design. The survey using the researcher-developed questionnaire and physical measurement tools for 330 children aged 9 to 11 years old in 6 elementary schools in urban Uganda in November 2018. The Japanese Red Cross College of Nursing Institutional Review Board approved this study (Approval Number: 2018-066).

Results: Obesity status among schoolchildren in urban Uganda was 67.6% normal, 25.2% underweight, 5.4% overweight, and 1.8% obese.

Conclusion: Obesity and overweight have not been predominant in this population. However, children's growth must be carefully monitored to prevent future overweight and obesity due to the limited availability of school health services and rapid lifestyle changes. Demographic factors associated with obesity status (waist-hip ratio, body fat, and body mass index) were gender, financial access to food, screen time, sleep time, and sleep hours. Based on this study in Uganda, the researchers expect to develop further collaborative child obesity prevention projects.

Published: April 2023

Ayurveda is a vast and ancient medical science. Unlike other medical sciences, instead of focusing on treatment of any particular disease, Ayurveda focuses more on the healthy living and wellbeing of the patient. For healthy living, Ayurveda emphasizes on consuming right kind of diet which is healthy and nutritious. In Ayurvedic classics, Ahara (food) is mentioned as one among the three Upasthambas (Sub-pillars of body). Ahara is considered to be vital for a human body as it provides the basic nutrients, which are very essential to carry out the basic activities of digestion and metabolism. Ayurveda clearly defines that certain diet and its combinations, which interrupts the metabolism of tissue, which inhibits the process of formation of tissue and which have the opposite property to the tissue are called as Viruddha Ahara or incompatible diet. The concept of Viruddha Ahar is a unique to Ayurveda system. The food that has improper combinations or is wrongly processed is called Viruddha Ahar. Also, a time, season and quantity have their impact. Certain foods not consumed at a right time of a day (kaala), season (ritu) and proper quantities (matra) can also be classified as Viruddha ahar. The food which is incompatible in respect to climate, quantity, method of preparation, combination etc. are described as potent cause of both physical and psychological illnesses.

Authors: Potter Bhagya Shree , Sharma Ashok Kumar , Niga Ayushi , Singh Naval
Published: April 2023

Ayurveda's Prayojana strives to protect the health of the healthy and cure issues caused by disease. Numerous factors might affect one's health and susceptibility to diseases. As the Acharyas had said, the Triupstambha (three sub pillars) of Ahara, Nidraand Brahmacarya support the body itself. In this case, Ahara is named first, showing how important it is to protect and sustain life. A healthy life requires adequate nutrition, yet one cannot benefit fully from the food they consume if they do not follow suitable dietary standards. Acharya Charak provided Aharavidhividhan (dietary recommendations), which can stop many diseases from developing purely as a result of poor dietary practises. Each factor's scientific basis is described. If the Aharavidhividhana is properly practised, it contributes to better health and a longer life. Additionally important are the Aahara intake's timing, location, volume, and mode. If taken properly, Aahara promotes healthy body development; however, if taken incorrectly, it can cause a number of problems. As a result, Aharavidhividhanais crucial for both the disease's cause and its treatment

Published: April 2023

Pratishyaya is an Urdwajatrugata Vikara (disease above the clavicle) that can be triggered by minor etiological factors. Vataja Pratishyaya is one of the five forms of Pratishyaya mentioned in our classics and Vata is the primary dosha, with Kapha, Pitta, and Rakta as associated doshas. Vataja Pratishyaya can be correlated with Allergic Rhinitis, which is frequently encountered in OPD practise and is mostly caused by allergens and environmental pollution. Allergic Rhinitis is caused by inhalent allergens which are inhaled through nose and cause the release of freshly generated or preformed mediators. It's an atopic disorder. Atopic dermatitis is described as a family history of sensitization to allergens in the environment (pollen, dust etc). It is a benign but chronic upper airway condition with an overall frequency of around 18% in the general population. Allergy is scientifically defined in Ayurveda under the Asatmayaj Vyadhi, while its consequences are explained in inherited, Virudhahara, Dushivish, and Ritusandhi. It occurs on a regular basis, and on attending Jeerna avastha, Nasya is the main line of treatment. It is a part of Panchakarma chikitsa and is very effective. An effort has been made in this review to examine the potentials of Nasya karma in treating Pratishaya (Allergic Rhinitis).

MOTHER'S EDUCATION AND CHILD HEALTH IN INDIA: MULTINOMIAL LOGIT ESTIMATION OF MALNUTRITION
Authors: LAKSHMANASAMY T.
Published: April 2023

Globally childhood malnutrition manifesting as stunting, wasting, underweight and overweight is the biggest cause of disease burden and millions of deaths of children under five years. India is home to more than one-third of the world's malnourished children despite being one of the first countries in the world to implement a strong and universal immunisation programme. Empirical evidence suggests a strong positive effect of maternal education on the health of children. This paper analyses the effect of maternal education on the nutritional status of children in India using the 2015-16 fourth round National Family Health Survey (NFHS-IV) data and applying the multinomial logistic regression method. The estimated odds ratios show that maternal education significantly reduces the risks of the child being stunted or wasted or underweight or all of these. A woman, with at least primary education gives better care and health to her child and helps reduce the risk of the child being malnourished. Months of breastfeeding, child's birth weight, mother's age, and place of delivery are the other determinants of the nutritional status of children in India.
TAIL-RISK DEPENDENCE NETWORKS IN THE US COMMODITY SECTORS. HAS COVID-19 MADE A THING?
Authors: TZAFERI DIMITRA
Published: April 2023

The objective of this paper is to examine the tail-risk dependence networks in the US commodity sectors: agriculture, livestock, energy, industrial and precious metals before and during COVID-19. Applying penalised quantile regression models extended with the dummy variable for the COVID-19 period in daily commodity returns and in the time horizon 3/1/2012 to 31/5/2022, CoVaR estimations are provided. The main empirical results are that (i) COVID has affected the tail-risk connectedness between commodities in the case of their extreme good events (ii) energy sector has remained a risk receiver in the risk-network of commodities independently of their conditions (welfare, burst) and (iii) the risk transmission linkages between commodity sectors are mostly positive. As a result, all commodity markets counterparts (farmers, investors, policymakers, governments) should not ignore pandemic uncertainties, as well that shocks in the other commodities sectors can control the booms and bursts of the energy sector. Finally, commodity markets seem to attract more speculators than hedgers. To the best of author(s) knowledge this is the first research paper that examines formally potential difference in the pattern of the tail risk dependence of the 5 US commodity sectors with respect to COVID’s existence and defines new connectedness measures for the detection of the tailrisk net transmitters and receivers of the US commodity sectors’ network.

Published: April 2023

Indian consumption pattern is diversifying towards high value agricultural products in search of a nutritious and healthier diet. The study analyses the trends of changing Indian food baskets in terms of social (nutrition), economic (affordability of a healthy diet) and environmental (global warming potential) sustainability. In terms of nutrition, the study finds that against a recommended calorie intake of 2503 kcal, the highest monthly per capita expenditure (MPCE) section of urban and rural population is consuming 3143 and 3184 kcal respectively. The lower MPCE section consumes only 65% of what is recommended as a healthy diet by LANCET. A comparison of the Indian diets with the LANCET recommended diet finds the environmental impact of the latter to be 1.3 times that of the actual intakes by Indians. The cost of the LANCET diet is 1.6 and 1.2 times the cost of the actual intake and recommended diets in India respectively. While the Indian diet is environmentally more sustainable, a nutritious diet of the global standard is beyond reach of the poor. Concerted efforts are required for facilitating an affordable, accessible and sustainable diet.

Every year 2.5 million (25 lakh) Indians migrate overseas, which is the highest annual number of migrants in the world. Indians represent the second largest U.S. immigrant group, after Mexicans and ahead of Chinese and Filipinos. The 2.7 million Indianimmigrants residing in the United States as of 2021 made up 6 per cent of the total foreignborn population, and their numbers continue to expand. USA ranks second on the list with so many growth opportunities accessible for Indians in the spheres of technology and biological sciences. Based on secondary sources of data, the present research assesses the trend, major flow of immigrants and their contribution to the development of Indian economy, which concludes that with the help of remittances, immigration can contribute positively to the developmental activity of a country, including employment, economic growth, poverty reduction, social empowerment, and technological progress.
(Re)Locating Humanness in Information and Communication Technology through Global [Digital] Citizenship Education
Authors: Caballero Ferdinand D.
Published: April 2023

The utilization of ICTs in education has become one of the most important pedagogical tools in curriculum, instructions, and management of school operations. This has become more apparent in the surge of the pandemic in the last couple of years. This reflexive paper intends to re[locate] humanness in ICTs by introducing Global Citizenship Education (GCED), which is contained in one of the United Nations’ 17 SDGs 2030 Agenda (SDG 4 [4.7]) combined with Digital Citizenship Education (DCE). Moreover, the concepts of ‘onlife’ and ‘digital self’ will be briefly explained to ground the formation of ‘student identities’ as global and digital citizens without discharging their humanness. This paper will also introduce the importance of ‘translocal spaces’ and ‘third spaces’ as settings and the acknowledgments of ‘multilocalities’ and ‘multivocalities’. Furthermore, challenges and criticisms regarding GCED and DCE in ICTs will be presented with contextualized and reflexive discussions based on the experiences of the author.

Subcapsular hematoma of the liver Subcapsular hematoma of the liver (SCLH) is defined as an anatomical-clinical entity corresponding to the appearance of a hematic collection located between the intact GLISSON capsule and the hepatic parenchyma. It is a rare complication of pregnancy with a high maternal-fetal mortality, occurring most often in the context of pre-eclampsia or HELLP syndrome (Hemolysis, Elevated Liver Enzymes, and Low Platelets Syndrome). We report the case of a 25-year-old parturient, primiparous woman, with no previous history, admitted to the emergency room for shock in a 29-week amenorrhea pregnancy. Ultrasound examination revealed a ruptured sub capsular hematoma of the liver. An urgent surgical exploration was required, during which a rupture of the subcapsular hematoma of the liver was revealed, accompanied by a state of hemorrhagic shock. The management consisted in a polytransfusion with suture of the hepatic lesion without paking. The evolution was favorable with clinico-biological normalization and the patient was declared discharged at D10 of her hospitalization.

Blood content in meat was a crucial component of meat from halal and food hygiene perspective since it reveals how the quail were killed. Image processing methods are anticipated to be the affordable, effective, and useful tools for determining the blood content of meat. In this study, 27 quails were divided into three groups according to how they were killed: not slaughtered (group 1), and slaughter withouh hanging (group2), slaughtered while hanging (group 3). Spectrophotometer and image processing were used to measure, based principaly on the malachite green test, how much blood was present in the meat. The images were taken using a cell phone camera then processed with Image J. measurement blood content of group 1, group 2, and group 3 using a spectrophotometer were 0.453 g/dl, 0.421 g/dl, and 0.381 g/dl, while the results using a image processing were 0.688 g/dl, 0.566 g /dl, and 0.247 g/dl, respectively. Using a spectrophotometer or an image processing technique, the measurement revealed that the beef blood contents of each group were significantly different from one another. A paired T-test comparison of the absorbance values measured by spectrophotometer and image processing revealed no statistically significant differences (p>0.05) between the two techniques. It may be concluded that using an image processing tool instead of a spectrophotometer is a viable option for determining the meat blood content obtained from, through various killing techniques, quail.
