Published: August 2024

Young adults in deprived communities in the United Kingdom (UK) are less able to access sport and leisure activities compared to more affluent peers. Physical activity (PA) can enhance life skills and facilitate employment. This project aimed to critically explore how sport, PA and employment were perceived by community leaders and younger adults as development opportunities. Appreciative inquiry was used to engage community leaders and young adults to reflect on their experiences living and working in a deprived community. Interviews, workshops, and community action methods were transcribed, thematically analysed, and used to share back insights with wider stakeholders. Participants were positive about their neighbourhoods but recognised significant cultural and gender barriers to achieving their goals. Community leaders and younger adults identified how their cultural and household experiences influenced the choices of community engagement. Participants identified education as important to them and their families and expressed frustration that opportunities for local sport and PA were not geared for the development of life skills and to enhance their employment opportunities. The results suggest how sport and PA infrastructure could be more strategically aligned to health, well-being, and social integration with a focus on skills development and building experiences related to employability.

One of the primary finite input resources for crop production in the upcoming decades for sustained food production will be irrigation water. On the other hand, there is a concern about the availability of irrigation water and its environmental and ecological sustainability. Urban activities, which are the primary sector, compete with agriculture for water as the global economy grows daily. As a result, it begs the question of whether the same amount of water utilized in irrigated agriculture can continue. It is estimated that the global population will be about 9 billion to 10 billion by 2050, and more water will be thus needed [1, 2]. Today, irrigation is the largest single consumer on the earth. Competition for water from other sectors will force irrigation to operate under water scarcity. To meet the twin challenges of conserving water and increasing the food supply, irrigated agriculture will have to improve water productivity, e.g. “more crop per drop”. The subsurface drip irrigation SDI could be an alternative to drip irrigation, which uses less water. It could save up to 25% - 50% of water regarding surface irrigation.

Published: August 2024

The study examined the effects of corporate income taxes on public investment in Agricultural sector in Nigeria from 1990-2022. The proxies for direct tax include Company Income Tax. The study adopted the ex-post facto research design as data collected were sourced from relevant publications of the Central Bank of Nigeria statistical bulletins, FIRS and National Bureau of Statistics. The independent variable for the study is Revenue from Company Income Tax while the dependent variable is public investment in Agricultural sector. The data were analysed using descriptive statistics and fully modified ordinary least square method in form of multiple regression technique. However, the results of the descriptive analysis showed significant variations of value of performance indices. The result of the regression analysis showed the positive effect of Direct Taxes (DTX) on Public Investment (PI) in agricultural sector in Nigeria. At 1% level of significance, corporate income tax has significant and positive impact on agricultural funding. The significant of these discoveries is essential for policy makers in adopting a smart tax policy that priorities agricultural finance while effectively balancing the needs for other industries and it also enhance their fiscal plans to support sustainable agricultural growth and economic stability by comprehending and resolving the distinct impact of various tax categories on agricultural funding. However, the study recommended that the collaboration between government agencies, agricultural stakeholders, and the private sector should be encouraged to identify and address challenges in tax revenue utilizations.

Published: August 2024

Background: Research and literature on antimicrobial de-escalation are often confined to assessment of safety and efficacy of de-escalation for patients with infection and, not antimicrobial utilization. Evidence suggests that the key intervention to stop further emergence of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is to optimize antimicrobial de-escalation and improve antimicrobial stewardship (AMS) practices. An audit of antibiotic use in infection and measuring antibiotic consumption is the basic area of an Antimicrobial stewardship AMSP. This study aimed to assess the clinical outcomes of antibiotic de-escalation on length of stay (LOS), days on IV antibiotics, along with antibiotic utilization and duration of antibiotic therapy.
Methods: This prospective observational study included in-patients with antibiotic prescriptions. Data collected included patient demographics, empiric, de-escalated or non-de-escalated antibiotic regimens, microbiological reports and final diagnoses were collected. The outcomes of de-escalation and non-de-escalation were compared. Statistical analysis was done using SPSS software and the p value < 0.05% was considered significant.
Results: Out of the 360 patients, 226 patients were de-escalated and 134 patients had their therapy non-de-escalated. The de-escalated population had a shorter LOS (mean: 4 days vs. 6 days, p <.05), shorter DOT (mean: 11.3 days vs. 13.9 days, p = .05), and fewer days on IV antibiotics (median: 3 days vs. 5 days, p = .05) compared to the non-de-escalated group.
Conclusion: De-escalation resulted in a:

Reduction of 2.6 DOT (Days of Therapy) units of antimicrobial use (p value= .05), despite similar durations of antimicrobial therapy (LOT).
Reduction of 2 days of intravenous antimicrobial (p value= .05).

Reduction of 1.7 days in the Length of hospital Stay (p value < .05).

Authors: Abdallh Almujtaba H. M. , Babiker Elfadil E. 
Published: August 2024

Background: Moringa species contain extremely high level of antioxidant and low levels of anti-nutritional compounds distributed between different parts of the plant.
Objective: The present study examined the chemical composition, total energy, and oxidative properties of several solvent extracts of Moringa peregrina (MP) seeds, bark, and leaves dried-ground.
Methods: The chemical composition, total energy, and mineral content of the MP parts were all determined. The total phenolics, total flavonoids, and antioxidant activity of various solvent extracts were also measured.
Results: The chemical composition differed between parts, with seeds having considerably (p ≤ 0.05) high levels of protein (19.4%), fat (32.23%), and ash (2.90%). The bark was significantly (p ≤ 0.05) higher in carbohydrates (76.1%) than the other parts. The leaves had significantly (p ≤ 0.05) higher levels of Na, Mg, K, Mn, Fe, Zn, and Se. However, the seeds are rich in P and Cu, whereas the bark is rich in calcium. The solvents' efficacy in extracting phenolics and flavonoids from the three parts varied substantially, with aqueous methanol ranking first and the leaves having larger amounts than the other parts. The antioxidant activity was examined using the DPPH, ABTS, and FRAP tests. Leaves had stronger antioxidant activity than other parts. Furthermore, antioxidant activity was strongly associated with total phenolics and flavonoids.
Conclusion: In general, extracts made with aqueous organic solvents produced more total phenolics and flavonoids and had higher antioxidant activity, with leaves demonstrating superior antioxidant properties compared to other parts.

Published: August 2024

In Andhra Pradesh, climate change may negatively impact crop yields and variability, especially in rainfed agricultural areas, which account for 46 per cent of the total cultivated area. Besides drought-prone areas like the districts in the Rayalaseema region of Andhra Pradesh, even the state's coastal districts are prone to cyclones and floods. In this context, farmers have to adopt Climate Resilient Agricultural (CRA) technologies to mitigate the negative impacts of climate change. Certain factors influence the farmer's decision to adopt these technologies. In this context, this study investigated the factors influencing the adoption of CRA technologies in the Srikakulam and Anantapur districts of Andhra Pradesh by employing a logistic regression model. Primary data was collected from 300 purposively selected farmers comprising of 240 adopters and 60 non-adopters from both the districts. The results revealed that education (6.2%), farming experience (7.8%), family size (5.1%), annual farm income (4.8%), access to climate information (9.8%) and access to extension contact (16.5%) significantly influenced the adoption of CRA technologies in Srikakulam district. Similarly, in Anantapur district age of the farmer (0.7%), education (6.6%), annual farm income (5.2%), access to climate information (9.0%), access to extension contact (17.6%) and membership in organisation (7.1%) significantly influenced the adoption of CRA technologies. Therefore, the results indicated that it is necessary to set up an appropriate institutional structure to provide climate information, extension services and non-formal education to farmers on the benefits of CRA technologies for the wide spread adoption of CRA technologies.

AbstractA high‐resolution section of dissolved iron (dFe) and aluminum (dAl) was obtained along ~95°E in the upper 1000 m of the eastern Indian Ocean from the Antarctic margin (66°S) to the Bay of Bengal (18°N) during the U.S. Climate Variability and Predictability (CLIVAR) CO2 Repeat Hydrography I08S and I09N sections (February–April 2007). In the Southern Ocean, low concentrations of dAl (<1 n M) reflect the negligible dust inputs impacting the water masses subducted in the circumpolar domain. The low dAl concentrations characterizing the Southern Ocean terminate near 45°S, probably because of the advection of subtropical water masses that received dust and sedimentary inputs in their formation region. Our subsurface dFe data near the southern Kerguelen Plateau were significantly higher than historical observations in other Indian sectors of the Southern Ocean. We surmise that the offshore advection of dFe‐rich waters along the western flank of the southern Kerguelen plateau and enhanced vertical mixing could contribute to this elevated subsurface dFe inventory. Elevated subsurface particulate and dFe levels downstream of the northern Kerguelen Plateau may reflect long‐range lateral transport from the plateau's sediments and/or remineralization inputs. At the northern edge of the south Indian subtropical gyre, the deposition of Australian dust, possibly combined with the advection of dAl‐enriched waters from the Indonesian Throughflow, creates a region of elevated dAl in the upper 400 m but without a corresponding enrichment in dFe. In the northern Indian Ocean, the South Equatorial Current constitutes a remarkable biogeochemical front separating the oxygen‐rich and dFe‐poor subtropical gyre waters from the dFe‐rich and oxygen‐depleted waters of the northern Indian Ocean. By tracing the accumulation of macronutrients and dFe along the advective pathway of Indian Central Water, we show that the central waters of the northern Indian Ocean receive excess dFe in addition to that produced by remineralization inputs. The resuspension of shelf sediments and release of pore waters probably contribute to the elevated dFe and dAl levels observed below the highly stratified upper layers of the Bay of Bengal.

Published: February 2015

AbstractWe present results from laboratory experiments in a wave flume with and without a sediment bed to investigate the turbulent structure and sediment dynamics of wave‐supported mud layers. The presence of sediment on the bed significantly alters the structure of the wave boundary layer relative to that observed in the absence of sediment, increasing the TKE by more than a factor of 3 at low wave orbital velocities and suppressing it at the highest velocities. The transition between the low and high‐velocity regimes occurs when
, where
is the Stokes Reynolds number. In the low‐velocity regime (
) the flow is significantly influenced by the formation of ripples, which enhances the TKE and Reynolds stress and increases the wave boundary layer thickness. In the high‐velocity regime (
) the ripples are significantly smaller, the near‐bed sediment concentrations are significantly higher and density stratification due to sediment becomes important. In this regime the TKE and Reynolds stress are lower in the sediment bed runs than in comparable runs with no sediment. The regime transition at
appears to result from washout of the ripples and increased concentrations of fine sand suspended in the boundary layer, which increases the settling flux and the stratification near the bed. The increased stratification damps turbulence, especially near the top of the high‐concentration layer, reducing the layer thickness. We anticipate that these effects will influence the transport capacity of wave‐supported gravity currents on the continental shelf.
Marine microbes rapidly adapt to consume ethane, propane, and butane within the dissolved hydrocarbon plume of a natural seep

Published: February 2015

AbstractSimple hydrocarbon gases containing two to four carbons (ethane, propane, and butane) are among the most abundant compounds present in petroleum reservoirs, and are introduced into the ocean through natural seepage and industrial discharge. Yet little is known about the bacterial consumption of these compounds in ocean waters. To assess the timing by which microbes metabolize these gases, we conducted a three‐phase study that tested and applied a radiotracer‐based method to quantify the oxidation rates of ethane, propane, and butane in fresh seawater samples. Phase 1 involved the synthesis of tritiated ethane, propane, and butane using Grignard reagents and tritiated water. Phase 2 was a systematic assessment of experimental conditions, wherein the indigenous microbial community was found to rapidly oxidize ethane, propane, and butane. Phase 3 was the application of this tritium method near the Coal Oil Point seeps, offshore California. Spatial and temporal patterns of ethane, propane, and butane oxidation down current from the hydrocarbon seeps demonstrated that >99% of these gases are metabolized within 1.3 days following initial exposure. The oxidation of ethane outpaced oxidation of propane and butane with patterns indicating the microbial community responded to these gases by rapid adaptation or growth. Methane oxidation responded the slowest in plume waters. Estimates based on the observed metabolic rates and carbon mass balance suggest that ethane, propane, and butane‐consuming microorganisms may transiently account for a majority of the total microbial community in these impacted waters.
Physical and biogeochemical mechanisms of internal carbon cycling in Lake Michigan

Published: February 2015

AbstractThe lakewide seasonal carbon cycle of Lake Michigan is poorly quantified and lacks the mechanistic links necessary to determine impacts upon it from eutrophication, invasive species, and climate change. A first step toward a full appreciation of Lake Michigan's carbon cycle is to quantify the dominant mechanisms of its internal carbon cycle. To achieve this, we use the MIT general circulation model configured to the bathymetry of Lake Michigan and coupled to an ecosystem model to simulate the seasonal cycle of productivity, temperature, circulation, and the partial pressure of CO2 in water (pCO2). This biogeochemistry is designed to be appropriate for the prequagga mussel state of the lake. The primary mechanism behind the seasonal cycle of primary productivity is lake physics. The offshore spring phytoplankton bloom begins following a reduction in deep vertical mixing and ends with the depletion of nutrients via thermal stratification. The exception is the western shoreline, where summer winds drive coastal upwelling, providing hypolimnetic nutrients and generating significant productivity. Surface pCO2 is controlled by the net effect from temperature on solubility, and is modulated by biological uptake of dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) and isothermal mixing of DIC‐rich water in winter. Temperature tends to have the greatest seasonal impact in nearshore regions, while local DIC has the greatest impact in offshore regions. Lakewide, the model suggests that carbon is absorbed from the atmosphere during the spring bloom and released to the atmosphere during winter mixing and when summer surface temperatures are at their maximum.
