Authors: Adeyanju Ope Zacchaeus , Fadupin Grace T
Published: January 2025

BackgroundThe issue of food security in the rural regions of sub-Saharan Africa is of paramount importance, as it has a profound impact on malnutrition rates among children.ObjectiveThe objective of this study was to assess the household food security status of rural women food producers and the nutritional status of their under-five year old children in Ibadan, Nigeria.MethodsFor this analytical cross-sectional study among 217 mother-child pairs in the rural communities of Ibadan, interviewer-administered questionnaires were administered to obtained information on household, socio-demographic characteristics of mothers and the characteristics of their under-five children. Household food security was assessed using a USDA 18-point scale and categorized as food secure (≤ 2), food insecure without hunger (>2-7), food insecure with moderate hunger (8-12), and food insecure with severe hunger (>12). Child anthropometry was measured and expressed as stunting (height-for-age), wasting (weight-for-height), and underweight (weight-for-age) using Essential Nutrition Action software. Data were analysed using descriptive statistics, Fisher’s Exact Test, and Spearman correlation coefficient correlation at p≤ 0.05.ResultsAges of mothers and under-five children were 32.3±6.2 years and 35.3±14.1 months respectively. Household size was 6.3±1.7 and 62.2% had no formal education. The household food security mean score was 8.2±3.4; 88.5% were food insecure, 25.3% without hunger, 56.2% with moderate hunger and 7.0% with severe hunger. The totals of moderate or severe underweight, stunting and wasting in children were 30.4%, 40.5%, and 7.8% respectively. Food insecurity was significantly associated with children underweight (p=0.010). Mother’s education (p=0.000), father’s education (P=0.012), and household size (P=0.008) demonstrated significant associations with household food insecurity.ConclusionsFood insecurity was prevalent in the study population. Provision of infrastructure that can stimulate a good business environment such as electricity, water, good roads, and accessible markets should be made available by all tiers of governments to enhance diversification of means of livelihood to alleviate poverty among the rural households.

Authors: Manske Robert C. , Wolfe Chris , Page Phil , Voight Michael
Published: January 2025

Musculoskeletal ultrasound (MSKUS) has emerged as a valuable diagnostic tool in the evaluation and management of lateral elbow pathologies. This imaging modality provides high-resolution, dynamic visualization of superficial soft tissue structures, making it particularly advantageous for assessing conditions such as lateral epicondylitis (tennis elbow), ligamentous injuries, radial tunnel syndrome, and other common disorders. This article reviews the utility of MSKUS for rehabilitation providers, focusing on its role in accurately identifying pathoanatomical changes, guiding treatment strategies, and monitoring therapeutic outcomes. Specific emphasis is placed on the integration of diagnostic ultrasound in clinical practice, imaging techniques, and its advantages compared to other modalities. By enhancing diagnostic accuracy and facilitating targeted interventions, MSKUS serves as a critical adjunct in the comprehensive care of lateral elbow conditions.

Authors: Vesely Bryanna , Challa Shanthan , Moyer Benjamin , Gereb Blake , Watson Troy
Published: January 2025

Chronic lateral ankle instability is a common diagnosis in foot and ankle clinics. Internal Brace (IB) augmentation is a surgical procedure that utilizes fibertape augmentation of the lateral ankle ligaments. Studies have shown the superiority of fibertape augmentation over traditional lateral ankle stabilization procedures such as the Brostrom or Brostrom-Gould. The IB procedure has been described elsewhere and the fixation involves placing bone anchors with attached suture tape at each end of the Brostrom repair augmenting the fixation. Various studies exist that support the mechanical advantage of the Brostrom with IB over non augmented repair. This technique allows for earlier weight bearing and range of motion which translates into earlier return to activity and sport. While there are guidelines for rehabilitation after Brostrom procedures, there are currently no guidelines regarding rehabilitation after the IB. The purpose of this clinical commentary is to describe an early mobility and rehabilitation protocol after IB augmentation for the ankle. The post operative protocol provides treatment goals, weight bearing status recommendations, and rehabilitation intervention suggestions after IB augmentation.

Authors: Pratiwi Hikmi Muharromah , Nani Desiyani , Saryono Saryono
Published: January 2025

Inadequacy of current practices of routine thermal care for heat loss prevention in preterm infants leads to an additional need for immediate hypothermia prevention following delivery and during NICU admission. Plastic bag wrapping has been proven effectively to prevent the hypothermia in preterm infants. A review aimed to investigate the effectiveness of plastic bag wrapping toward hypothermia prevention in preterm infants after birth and during NICU admission. A review was performed by searching of RCT trials using CINAHL, Pubmed, Medline, and EBSCOHost and published in English between January 2013 and August 2023 related to plastic bag or plastic wrap or vinyl bag or polyethylene bag or polyethylene covering, core temperature, and hypothermia. Quasi-experimental studies and randomized controlled trials (RCTs) are included in this study. This study included 10 trials involving 1704 preterm infants: 8 trials reported on poststabilization temperature and incidence of hypothermia, 2 trials showed hypothermia, and one trial in poststabilization temperature for the outcome. Most studies conducted plastic wrap on preterm neonates < 28 weeks of gestational age and for 1-2 hours. Nine studies revealed that plastic bag wrapping was associated with a decline in hypothermia insidences, the higher temperature on baseline and poststabilization temperature compared with routine care or other thermal care. A plastic bag is considered an effective and safe additional intervention for preventing hypothermia in preterm infants less than 28 weeks of gestational age. However, further study could be ensured by performing better-designed studies and a longer follow-up period.

Published: January 2025

Este estudo foca na bacia do rio Doce em Minas Gerais, Brasil, analisando o impacto das posições (padrões) geográficas da Zona de Convergência do Atlântico Sul (ZCAS) na variabilidade da precipitação, vazão, inundações e qualidade da água. Apesar da ZCAS ser muito discutida, a falta de estudos considerando diferentes posições de atuação na definição de limiares de precipitação para alertas precoces em eventos de inundação e nos parâmetros da qualidade da água, persiste. Os resultados destacam que posições distintas da ZCAS estão associadas as variações na distribuição de precipitação, vazão e qualidade da água. Os padrões Norte (NP) e Central (CP) contribuem para maiores acumulados de chuva (≥18 mm/dia) e vazão (80-800 m^3/s) na bacia. As sub-bacias do Piracicaba e Santo António registram o maior número de eventos extremos de chuva, com 168 e 127, respectivamente. A maioria das inundações ocorre no padrão NP, totalizando 54 casos (28,63% com danos substanciais à população). Identificamos que precipitações ≥43 mm/dia estão associadas a inundações nos padrões NP e CP, sendo um limiar para decisões de comitês da bacia. Em relação a qualidade da água, a presença da ZCAS aumenta principalmente os parâmetros de turbidez e sólidos suspensos totais. Este trabalho contribui para integrar critérios relacionados à água em políticas e decisões, relevante na bacia do rio Doce após um desastre ambiental causado pelo rompimento de uma barragem de mineração. A análise de tendências indica uma diminuição na chuva e vazão em todos os padrões.

Published: January 2025

Macapá (AP) enfrenta problemas estruturais devido à falta da elaboração de um plano urbano e ambiental, contudo, nota-se que a presença de loteamentos urbanos recentes possibilita a discussão acerca da arborização. O estudo de caso foi realizado no loteamento Terra Nova Amapá, que possui 1.400 lotes. Realizou-se a análise temporal entre os anos de 2017 e 2022, através dos programas Google Earth Pro e software Qgis, assim como a avaliação in loco, dos seguintes conflitos com a estrutura urbana: fiação elétrica, calçadas, residência e postes de energia. A análise temporal permitiu observar que não houve mudanças significativas quanto à implementação da arborização. As áreas verdes do loteamento estão livres de quaisquer conflitos e apresentam uma estrutura adequada. Em relação aos conflitos urbanos, notou-se que algumas árvores adultas apresentam algum tipo de conflito, ocasionados pelo uso de espécies inadequadas e/ou pelo plantio em áreas de calçada, comprometendo assim a estrutura de vias, o espaço para locomoção dos pedestres e o muro de casas. Constatou-se ainda que o loteamento não apresentou indícios de um planejamento urbano que leve em consideração a arborização. Porém, o loteamento ainda está em processo de ocupação, apresentando possibilidade de se recomendar e/ou planejar a arborização de forma adequada.

A perda da qualidade dos recursos hídricos nos centros urbanos está relacionada principalmente com os lançamentos de efluentes industriais e esgotos domésticos oriundos da inadequada ocupação do solo. A fragmentação da paisagem, estimadas com técnicas de processamento de imagem de satélite auxilia estudos referente à diminuição da vegetação ripária e entender sobre o uso e ocupação do solo de uma região. Dentro desse contexto, o objetivo do presente trabalho foi avaliar o uso do solo antes e após a revitalização da área do córrego Imbirussu em Campo Grande e a qualidade da água deste recurso hídrico. As imagens analisadas foram obtidas pelo INPE (Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas Espaciais – INPE e compreenderam o período de 2006 e 2020, que correspondem a antes e depois da revitalização da região estudada. Para análise da qualidade da água, foram realizadas coletas de amostras de água em cinco pontos ao longo do córrego entre fevereiro de 2020 a novembro de 2021. Os resultados obtidos com análise temporal da área, demonstra que entre 2006 e 2020, houve uma redução significativa na vegetação arbórea após a revitalização da área em 2008. Os parâmetros físico-químicos analisados apresentaram Índices de Qualidade da Água (IQA) fora dos parâmetros para a classe 2 da resolução 357/2005 do Conselho Nacional do Meio Ambiente- CONAMA principalmente para pH, Cor, PO4 -2 e Coliformes Fecais, parâmetros os quais podem serem relacionados ao crescimento urbano demonstrado pelas imagens de satélite. Com os resultados desta pesquisa conclui-se que a água do córrego Imbirussu é imprópria para consumo humano e irrigação. Portanto, as informações obtidas neste trabalho, devem ser divulgadas para a população da região, uma vez que na área da bacia existe áreas com atividade agrícola.

O estudo foi conduzido para investigar as propriedades de biochars produzidos a partir de diferentes materiais, com foco na capacidade de adsorção e dessorção de fosfato, elemento decisivo para a gestão eficiente do fósforo em solos agrícolas. Foram analisados três tipos de biochar: lodo de esgoto, cama de frango e madeira de cajueiro. A composição mineralógica dos biochars foi determinada por difração de raios X. A capacidade de adsorção e dessorção de fosfato foi avaliada utilizando as isotermas de Langmuir e Freundlich, e as quantificações do fosfato adsorvido e dessorvido foram realizadas por meio de centrifugação e análises colorimétricas. O biochar de madeira de cajueiro apresentou a maior área superficial específica e eficácia na retenção de fosfato, seguido pelo biochar de lodo de esgoto, sendo o biochar de cama de frango o menos eficiente. As curvas de dessorção indicaram uma liberação lenta de fosfato, sugerindo que parte do fosfato adsorvido foi retida pelos biochars e se tornou menos disponível para liberação. O biochar de madeira de cajueiro foi o mais eficaz na retenção de fósforo entre os biochars estudados. A adsorção de fosfato pelos biochars seguiu uma tendência dependente da concentração, destacando a importância da caracterização mineralógica na avaliação da reatividade química e da capacidade de adsorção dos biochars.

Brazil is considered the world's largest producer of red guavas. This study aimed to evaluate the dynamics of the productive aspects of the guava cv. Paluma under the influence of different pruning and thinning intensities in two growing seasons in the region of Currais, Piauí, Brazil. The research was carried out in a commercial orchard at the Rancho Vale das Serras Farm, municipality of Currais, Piauí. The experiment was arranged in a randomized block design, in a factorial arrangement (3x3) composed of three pruning intensities (short, medium, and long) and three thinning intensities (0%, 10%, and 20%), during two growing seasons. The variables analyzed were plant height, canopy diameter, stem diameter, number of emerged shoots, number of vegetative branches, number of productive branches, number of open leaves, number of total fruits, longitudinal fruit diameter, transverse fruit diameter, chlorophyll a, b, and total, mean fruit weight, production, and yield. As for canopy diameter in the first season, the plants that underwent long and medium pruning showed greater vegetative growth due to the non-abrupt decrease in the CN ratio and because there was a greater amount of leaf area, resulting in greater growth. For the number of fruits, the results obtained showed that there was a smaller physiological drop in the subsequent medium and short pruning due to the smaller amount of plant tissues, turning the plant's energy towards fructification instead of growth. There was a significant effect of the pruning and thinning interaction on the mean fruit weight, production, and yield.
Unraveling the Effect of Proximity to the Shore on the Structure and Diversity of Herbaceous Vegetation on Coastal Sand Dunes

Published: January 2025

Restinga is a type of coastal ecosystem, shaped by intricate interactions between limiting biotic and abiotic factors. They play a vital role in global biodiversity maintenance and provide essential ecosystem services. Vegetation in coastal dunes adapts distinctly to environmental variations yet remains highly vulnerable to human activities and climate change, warranting a comprehensive understanding of its responses to diverse environmental conditions. This investigation focused on herbaceous restinga vegetation within potential microhabitats and beach distance scales, seeking to unveil their influence on plant species composition and distribution. The aim was to enhance our understanding of coastal dune patterns while identifying potential indicator species and microhabitats. We evaluated species coverage across 156 sample plots distributed over six transects at 26 distance scales, considering microhabitats and environmental factors. The analysis encompassed species coverage, richness, and composition concerning beach distance within each microhabitat. Results suggest that species richness correlated more strongly with microhabitat types than beach distance. Identification of specific microhabitats was aided by coverage and indicator species. Redundancy analysis highlighted terrain, soil exposure, and flooding as significant contributors to variations in plant community composition. Frontal dune areas and humid slack dunes stood out distinctly compared to other microhabitats. Our findings underscore the crucial role of local conditions—like flooding, terrain slope, and soil exposure—in shaping coastal plant communities and species selection. This study offers valuable insights into these ecosystems, pivotal for identifying microhabitats and indicator species, and for effectively addressing biodiversity conservation challenges amid global climate change.

This study aimed to evaluate the sorption kinetics of P leaching at the 0-10 cm layer of a Regosol with and without organic fertilization in the Brazilian semi-arid region (SAB). Adsorption, desorption, and maximum P adsorption capacity (Qmax) were determined in leaching columns. The contents of crystalline and amorphous Fe and Al and the mineralogical and crystallographic analyses of the Fe oxides were also determined. The adsorption and desorption kinetics of phosphate was fast in the initial stage, slow over time, and constant at the end of the reaction. Both desorption and adsorption mechanisms occur in the sandy soils of the SAB. Oxides influence the vertical P mobilization, which is confirmed by the strong negative correlation between the amorphous Fe oxides (ferrihydrite) and the leached P, and the positive correlation with Qmax. The goethites, in turn, with the largest average crystallite diameter (DMC) and the smallest specific surface area (ASE), are associated with P desorption in non-fertilized areas. This evidence confirms the risk of vertical P movement and its loss into the environment, reinforcing the need for more studies in order to clarify the interactions at the molecular level between phosphates and the surface of Fe oxides.

A condutividade hidráulica do solo saturado (K0) é uma propriedade físico-hídrica do solo de grande relevância para o manejo e conservação do solo e da água na agricultura e no meio ambiente. Nesse sentido, objetivou-se neste trabalho, simular a variabilidade espacial da k0 e avaliar suas incertezas por meio da Simulação Sequencial Gaussiana (SSG), para a Bacia Hidrográfica do Ribeirão Marcela (BHRM), localizada na região sul do estado de Minas Gerais. Para tanto, uma vez definidos os parâmetros de variografia, utilizou-se da SSG para a geração de 100 campos aleatórios equiprováveis. As amostras de solos foram coletadas na camada de 0 a 15 cm, obedecendo aos grids de 240 x 240 m e um refinamento de 60 x 60 m, totalizando 165 amostras de solo indeformadas. Para a análise do comportamento da variabilidade espacial da K0 foi realizada a estatística descritiva e posteriormente aplicou-se a SSG. Os resultados mostraram que a K0 na BHRM é heterogênea e apresentou uma incerteza de 5,88 mm h-1, possivelmente devido aos tipos de solo, uso e ocupação do mesmo, densidade e textura. A SSG revelou-se como uma ferramenta eficaz para compreensão da magnitude e estrutura da variabilidade espacial da condutividade hidráulica do solo saturado, sendo de grande valia para um bom manejo do solo e da água em bacias hidrográficas.

A bacia hidrográfica do Rio Paraopeba localiza-se na região central do estado de Minas Gerais. O Reservatório de Retiro Baixo foi construído no baixo curso a aproximadamente 300 km da Barragem B1, onde os rejeitos da Mina Córrego do Feijão verteram após o rompimento de 25 de janeiro de 2019. Este trabalho avaliou o transporte fluvial em t/ano pelo método estocástico, para nutrientes e principalmente os metais Mn, Cu e Fe entre fevereiro de 2019 a agosto de 2022, tendo sido realizadas dez amostragens na ponte da Rodovia MG 420 antes do reservatório. Para turbidez, oxigênio dissolvido, manganês, cobre, ferro e fósforo total algumas amostras apresentam desconformidade com a legislação vigente. Estas características também influenciam no transporte fluvial de nutrientes 29,18x103 t de Na+, 8,97x103 t de K+, 7,88x103 t de SO42-, 9,67x103 t de NO3-, 1,50x103 t de PO43- e 0,49x103 t de P e metais, 77,44 t de Mn, 0,23 x103 t de Cu e de 1,37 x103 t de Fe que são anualmente carreados e transportados ao reservatório pelo Rio Paraopeba. A bacia apresenta um complexo quadro geológico e pedológico, uso da terra diversificado com grande urbanização, atividades industriais, agrícolas, pastagens efluentes, dentre outros que, juntamente com a rompimento da barragem B1 e altos índices pluviométricos que favorecem o aumento das vazões e deflúvios entre os meses de outubro e março, vem contribuindo para o transporte fluvial e a qualidade de suas águas.

Published: January 2025

This paper presents a numerical simulation utilizing the Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) methodology to analyze the impact of water flow on bridge superstructures. The focus of the study is the Canh Nang bridge, which experienced significant damage during a severe flood in Vietnam. The SPH model accounts for flow morphology, velocity fields, and flow pressure around the submerged superstructure, providing insights into areas of high flow pressure and the water resistance coefficient (Cd). By employing modified dynamic boundaries for solid surfaces and the inflow-outflow conditions, the model effectively addresses fluid-bed and fluid-structure interactions. The results highlight elevated flow pressure on specific surface locations of the superstructure, while lower pressures are observed on the bottom surfaces and between adjacent girders. The calculated Cd values are evaluated against those from various bridge design standards, including the Indian code, Eurocode, AS5100, and TCVN 11823. This comparison reveals discrepancies and suggests the potential for refining current design practices. Future research directions include the experimental validation of SPH model results and the exploration of how structural parameters influence superstructure response during flood events. Doi: 10.28991/CEJ-2024-010-12-019 Full Text: PDF

Authors: Eygü Zehra , Oğraş Şeyma Şişik , Kaya Hatice
Published: January 2025

In this study, it was aimed to determine the effects of nuggets produced using turkey meat by repeated frying in olive oil under atmospheric and pressure frying conditions on some physicochemical and instrumental texture properties of nuggets and some quality properties (free fatty acid, peroxide value and total polar compound) of frying oil. While pressure frying increased the moisture value of the samples, the moisture values of the samples decreased as the number of frying repetitions increased. A higher TBARS value was determined in atmospheric frying compared to pressure frying (p˂0,01), and the TBARS value of the samples increased as the number of frying repetitions increased. Pressure frying increased the L* and b* values and decreased the a* value in the internal and external surface of the samples (p˂0,05). While the number of frying factor did not cause a significant difference (p˃0,05), on the color values in the internal surface, as the number of frying increased, the L* and b* values of the samples decreased and the a* values increased. While pressure frying process increased the hardness, resilience, cohesiveness, springiness, gumminess and chewiness values in nuggets (p˂0,01), frying method had no significant effect on adhesiveness (p˃0,05). It was determined that the frying method and the number of frying repetitions factors had a very significant effect (p˂0,01) on the free fatty acid, peroxide value and total polar substance content of the oils.

Published: January 2025

Forest tenure conflicts have been a problem in Perhutani's management areas for decades. As an entity authorized to manage, exploit, and protect most of the forest areas in Java, Perhutani's forest management is not free from land occupation issues. The duality in viewing land rights between Perhutani from the legal side and the community from the historical side of control is a narrative that continues to be debated and is challenging to resolve. This study aims to describe the local dynamics of forest tenure conflicts through empirical evidence of the historical trajectory of forest tenure in the Perhutani management area in Indramayu. Using a qualitative research method, this study presents case studies of land tenure conflict events within the framework of conflict visibility assessment and the Actor-Centered Power (ACP) approach in its analysis. The results of the conflict visibility assessment show the gradation and historiography of forest tenure conflicts in Perhutanimanaged areas and produce several important findings to complement the forest tenure conflict literature. The research findings show how shifts in actor power led to changes in forest tenure conflicts in Indramayu. Finally, the establishment of the Forest Areas with Special Management policy as an effort to resolve conflicts can cause new contestations by inviting other powerful actors.
