<p><em>Women's empowerment has an important role in development. One of the ways to realize empowerment for women is the Sustainable Food Yard (P2L) program. With this empowerment, the community, especially mothers, can experience changes in their level of knowledge, attitudes and increased welfare. Thus, the community in Wonosobo Village, Banyuwangi Regency has implemented Sustainable Food Farming (P2L) activities through the institution of the Sri Tanjung Women's Farmers Group. Through Sustainable Food Yard (P2L) activities, group members can fulfill their need for vegetables for daily consumption. The women's empowerment carried out by KWT Sri Tanjung is related to tradition because Wonosobo Village really upholds traditional values. Social Capital in cultural relationships is highly correlated. Social norms, social networks, and beliefs are the main factors in tradition. The village clean ritual provides space for women to contribute to the ritual, even though women are always placed in the domestic sphere. The culture in Wonosobo Village provides access for women to become ajen or leaders in the mocoan tradition or reading the lontar book. In the era of modernization there have been changes to the village's clean ritual customs, there are several performances such as jaranan, music and so on. Ider bumi is part of the Osing culture, but in its activities there is a mixture of Javanese culture in it which is not a serious problem, because the two cultures coexist. Traditions and P2L programs go hand in hand, resulting in productive and complementary activities. The type of research used in this research is a qualitative method with a phenomenological approach. To determine informants, purposive sampling was used and data collection was carried out through observation, in-depth interviews and documentation. In testing the validity of the research data, source triangulation was used and for data analysis, namely through data transcript, namely categorization of data in text form the final step is drawing conclusions. </em></p>

Abstract

An efficient isolated DC-DC converter requires an information link between the isolated sides for power regulation and performance optimization. Talkative power converter (TPC) technology offers a cost-effective communication solution. However, the signal in existing technologies is susceptible to power noise. Consequently, the existing TPC method requires several switching cycles to transmit a single signal, and the data rate is constrained by noise, making it challenging to meet the demands of advanced communication. In this paper, a faster TPC method is proposed, using M-ary modulation based on amplitude shift keying (ASK). The nature of the magnetic tank is similar to the traditional resonant circuit, which is used to select signal frequency. It enables the signal to transmit by a frequency far above the switching frequency, thus improving the anti-noise ability. Compared to traditional communication methods, this approach eliminates the additional multipliers, enhancing integration and offering valuable insights for digital signal modulation. Thanks to the high signal strength and anti-noise ability, information transmission and demodulation can be completed within a single cycle. This method achieves the highest per-cycle transmission rate among state-of-the-art TPC techniques. The proposed method is validated on a 30kHz, 1kW, 200V dual-active-bridge prototype.

Abstract

Poultry farming plays a vital role in the livelihoods of smallholder farmers in Southern Ethiopia by providing protein and income. However, the high cost of conventional feeds has created a need for alternative feed ingredients. This study identifies and assesses the nutritional value of locally available alternative feed resources for poultry in the region. Data were collected from 360 households across the Hadiya, Wolaita, and Gamo zones to examine household demographic and socio-economic characteristics, feeding practices, and the use of alternative feeds such as enset (Ensete ventricosum) corm, avocado (Persea americana) seed kernel, mango (Mangifera indica) seed kernel, and moringa (Moringa stenopetala) leaf meal. A multistage sampling technique and field measurements were employed for data collection. The common alternative feeds were sampled and analysed for their nutritional characteristics. The majority of households (80%, N = 288) engaged in supplementary feeding, primarily using cereal grains. Nutritional evaluations revealed significant differences in nutrient content: moringa leaf meal had the highest crude protein (CP, 30.8 ± 0.35%), while mango seed kernel had the highest carbohydrate content (79.62%). On average, alternative feeds had higher crude protein content (p < 0.05) than conventional feeds such as maize (8.5% CP) but lower than soybean meal (40.1% CP). Among the alternative feed resources, avocado seed kernel contained 4185.97 ± 43.37 Kcal ME/kg DM, mango seed kernel 3755.48 ± 32.3 Kcal ME/kg DM, and enset corm 3611.16 ± 5.04 Kcal ME/kg DM, showing comparability with conventional feeds. Alternative feeds generally exhibited higher carbohydrate levels (p < 0.05) and comparable essential nutrient contents, demonstrating their potential as poultry diet supplements. Some alternative feed ingredients contained anti-nutritional factors like tannins (mean = 2.3%) and oxalates (mean = 1.1%), but their harmful effects could be eliminated through proper processing. This underscores the importance of processing to minimize adverse effects. The findings highlight the potential of local feed resources to reduce reliance on expensive conventional feeds and support sustainable poultry production. Recommendations include raising awareness, providing training on the use of alternative feeds, and implementing government support measures to reduce dependence on imported feeds in Southern Ethiopia.
Challenges Hindering Sustainability Among Smallholder Farmers in the Rice Production Supply Chain of Northern Ghana
Authors: Saani Adam Sandow , Salisbury Roger Hans 
Published: January 2025

Abstract

This study investigates the challenges hindering sustainability within the rice production supply chain in Northern Ghana. It identifies the economic, social, and environmental barriers impacting smallholder farmers, who form the backbone of rice production in the region. Using a mixed-methods approach, data were collected from 300 farmers across five key districts, revealing significant constraints, including limited mechanisation, inadequate credit access, market instability, labour shortages, gender disparities, and unsustainable environmental practices. The study highlights the interplay between these challenges, emphasising how economic constraints, such as poor market infrastructure and low mechanisation, reduce profitability and investment capacity. Social issues, including labour shortages and reliance on child labour, undermine community resilience, while environmental challenges, such as over-reliance on rain-fed agriculture and excessive fertiliser use, degrade the ecosystem. Key recommendations include enhancing mechanisation, promoting gender equity, expanding access to affordable credit, and fostering sustainable farming practices, such as alternate wetting and drying (AWD) and organic fertiliser use. By holistically addressing these barriers, stakeholders can enhance the resilience and sustainability of Northern Ghana’s rice supply chain, ensuring food security and rural economic development.

Abstract

Reversible histone acylation is crucial for epigenetic gene expression regulation. Histone acylation is typically mediated by lysine acyltransferases (KATs), which use acyl-CoAs as acyl donors. Here, we revealed the novel role of the histone deacetylases HDAC1 and HDAC2 in histone acylation catalysis. Notably, we show that HDAC1 and HDAC2 directly catalyze sorbylation using sorbic acid, a common food preservative, in addition to facilitating desorbylation. This newly discovered HDAC1/2-driven histone sorbylation function is a distinctive active epigenetic mark that leads to widespread changes in the expression of genes, particularly those involved in cholesterol biosynthesis. Our findings reveal that HDAC1/2 are unique enzymes capable of catalyzing not only the removal but also formation of histone modifications in response to exogenous carboxylic acids such as sorbic acid and benzoic acid. Our results highlight the impact of carboxylic acids found in the environment, such as food additives, on gene expression changes that occur via histone lysine modification regulated by HDAC1 and HDAC2.

Abstract

Our study investigates the method to obtain topological properties of input images with neural networks, not requiring training datasets. In the field of solid-state physics, research has been conducted to obtain topological properties of magnetic structures by analyzing the spin fields. Utilizing the approaches, our model generates a unit vector field interpreted as spin fields from various images and predicts the Euler characteristic of input images by computing the skyrmion number of the generated vector field. Even if the networks are trained by a single image of a fixed Euler characteristic, they successfully predict the Euler characteristics of the various images. The resulting spin configurations from independently trained neural networks are not unique due to the remaining degrees of freedom in the spin configuration. To further control the spin configuration by confining these degrees of freedom, we incorporate a magnetic Hamiltonian as an additional loss function, which includes exchange Interaction, Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya (DM) Interaction, and anisotropy. We validate the model on more complex geometrical shapes and apply it to practical tasks.
The Psychiatric Impact of Terror Attacks: Proximity and Evacuation in Communities Experiencing Mass Trauma
Authors: Shamoa-Nir Lipaz 
Published: January 2025

Abstract

Background
Geographic proximity to terrorist attacks can amplify emotional responses and heighten perceptions of risk. However, studies, including those conducted after 9/11, have reported mixed findings across different demographic groups.
Objective
This study examines psychological distress among residents of communities directly affected by the October 7, 2023, Hamas attack, with a focus on the roles of proximity and evacuation.
Method
An online survey was conducted with 91 evacuated Israeli residents to assess levels of stress, anxiety, and depression among evacuees from northern, southern, and central regions of Israel. Additionally, participants answered three open-ended questions about their emotional, social, and practical coping after the October 7th attack.
Results
The results indicated significantly higher psychological distress among southern residents with personal proximity to the attack compared to those from more remote communities. While both central and northern groups were geographically distant from the terror site, depression levels were notably elevated among northern residents, likely influenced by the evacuation process.
Conclusions
These findings highlight the necessity of region-specific mental health interventions as part of post-terrorism recovery efforts.
Can Inter-Caste Marriages Reduce Economic Inequalities in Child Nutrition in India? Evidence from Triangulation of Cross-sectional and Panel Data Analyses
Authors: Pradeep Rukmi , Goli Srinivas 
Published: January 2025

Abstract

Endogamous marriages in India reflect a socially segregated society based on religion and caste, perpetuating the existing social stratification and inequalities. Caste endogamy contributes to the unequal transferring of social capital and social endowments, thereby reproducing inequalities within and across generations. In this background, the study examined the question of whether inter-caste marriages contribute to reducing economic inequality in children’s nutrition. We triangulated analyses based on pooled microdata and macro-panel data compiled from the National Family Health Survey (2005–2021). The Wagstaff’s corrected concentration index, panel data random effects regression models, and pooled cross-sectional probit regression model have been used. Findings suggest the continued prevalence of caste-based assortative sorting in the Indian marriage market and wealth-based inequalities in child nutritional status, thereby indicating both strong caste endogamy and health inequalities. However, an increase in inter-caste marriage is associated with declining inequalities in the child nutrition indicators: stunting, wasting, and underweight. The pathway is established through the reduced economic heterogeneity in populations owing to inter-caste marital arrangements and a greater possibility of exchange of resources. Thus, we advance that intermarriages lessen caste inequalities in child nutrition in India by narrowing group differences in socio-economic status.

Abstract

Aspirin, as one of the most important drugs in medical history, has been continuously explored for over 3,000 years. This study employs bibliometric analysis to examine the research hotspots and trends on aspirin over the past decade. This study retrieved articles and reviews on aspirin from the Web of Science database, covering the period from 2014 to 2024. R software and CiteSpace were employed for visual analysis, revealing trends in publication volume, collaborations, core journals, and keywords distributions. In the past decade, a total of 19,504 papers authored by 88,600 researchers were published, citing 460,704 references. The U.S., China, and Italy lead in publications, with Canada and Australia showing strong collaboration. The authors with the highest contributions include BHATT DL, STEG PG, and WANG YJ. Research hotspots and trends include the following three points: the development of expert recommendations for the use of aspirin in primary cardiovascular prevention into personalized and shared decision-making between doctors and patients; the ongoing need for more evidence regarding the effects of aspirin on different tumors; and the sustained focus on aspirin-related respiratory diseases in future research. Aspirin, a classic drug, continues to have a substantial number of publications, underscoring its lasting impact. The USA, China, and Italy play a leading role in this field. However, there is still a long way to go, and research that is more targeted and beneficial for different refined populations may be a future trend.
Resonant laser excitation for nanoscale photocatalytic gold growth on patterned templates

Published: January 2025

Abstract

Resonant excitation of nanooptical templates offers great advantages for localized photocatalytic activity. We present a design, fabrication and characterization of nanostructured TiO2 to mimic the dynamic behavior of growth of long-range axonal connections in neuromorphic computing architectures. We use the photocatalytic activity of the TiO2 to reduce gold particles from a precursor solution and influence the localized gold growth with light-dependent field enhancements inside the TiO2. Nanooptical templates with different grating parameters are suggested to individually control the formation of metal lines on the surface. We show with an optical probe that resonant excitation with a UV laser is achieved with the nanostructures. 100nm of DPVBi is used as an emissive layer on top of the patterned TiO2 to visualize the field enhancement. The experiments show an emission increase for selected grating periods depending on the excitation setup. For nanostructures with only a few lateral repetitions, the quality factor of the resonance wavelength is lower which leads to a broader range of grating periods that resonantly increase the emission of DPVBi. We perform growth experiments and find dense coverage of gold particles on the nanostructured lines, if excited resonantly. For non-resonant excitation and on planar TiO2 areas, gold particles are sparsely scattered. These results show that local manipulation of dynamic growth characteristics are achieved.

Abstract

Background Mozambique bears a high HIV burden, with low testing uptake among young females. This study analyzes socio-demographic and behavioral factors influencing HIV testing among ever-married women aged 15–49, using data from the 2022/23 Demographic and Health Survey (DHS).Methods A secondary analysis of the Mozambique DHS 2023 dataset was performed to explore factors associated with HIV testing uptake. Variables including age, education, marital status, geographic location, and socioeconomic indicators were analyzed. Descriptive statistics and logistic regression models were used to identify significant predictors.Results The analysis included 13,184 women aged 15–49 years, of whom 67.56% reported having ever been tested for HIV. Multivariate analysis revealed that older age, higher education levels, living with a partner, visiting a health facility within the past 12 months, and daily internet use were significantly associated with higher odds of undergoing HIV testing (P > 0.05). Conversely, residing in rural areas was significantly associated with lower odds of HIV testing (P < 0.05).Conclusions Mozambique must prioritize expanding HIV testing in rural areas by enhancing healthcare access and community outreach. Promoting awareness through digital platforms and integrating HIV education into public programs can further improve testing uptake. Strengthening education and healthcare services is vital to achieving better prevention and early treatment outcomes.

Published: January 2025

Abstract

Context Weeds threaten crop productivity, but current reliance on herbicides poses risks to ecosystems and human health, necessitating sustainable alternatives such as intercropping. Cereal-legume intercrops enhance weed suppression, but the effect of weed pressure on component crops remains unclear.Objectives We investigated cereal-legume intercrops and sole crops in weed-free and weed-infested circumstances.Methods Four field experiments were conducted over three years (2022–2024). Main treatment factors included species selection, species mixing ratios, planting pattern, and herbicide application. We evaluated interactions between intercropping and presence and absence of weeds on biomass, yield, and light interception.Results Cereals dominated the intercrops, achieving yields comparable to or exceeding their proportional contributions relative to sole crops. In the absence of weeds, intercropped legumes yielded proportionally less than sole crops. However, legumes in weed-infested intercrops yielded proportionally similar to both herbicide-treated sole crops and intercrops. Cereals experienced weed-induced yield losses in both sole crops and intercrops, while legumes showed yield losses in sole crops but slight gains in intercrops, indicating that cereal-weed competition facilitated legume growth. Light interception by cereal sole crops was higher in weed-free than in weed-infested areas, whereas the opposite was observed for legume sole crops.Conclusion Our findings showed that under weed-infested conditions, cereal-legume intercrops have the potential to achieve higher component and total yields compared to their sole stands, offering a win-win scenario. We highlight indirect facilitation, cereal-weed competition that benefits legumes, as a to date poorly considered mechanism for overyielding in intercrops.

Introduction. Systematization of dermatoscopic signs of monomorphic rashes in mastocytosis has important practical significance.Aim. To carry out an analysis of dermatoscopic patterns of monomorphic eruption in monomorphic maculopapular cutaneous mastocytosis (mMPCM) and indolent systemic mastocytosis (ISM) and compare the results obtained with pathomorphological signs of mastocytosis.Materials and methods. The study included 6 children aged 4 to 14 years, 27 adolescents and adult aged 15 to 40 years with a monomorphic type of maculopapular cutaneous mastocytosis (MPCM) and 3 patients (minimum age 18 years, maximum – 54 years) with indolent systemic mastocytosis (ISM), who were under observation at Moscow scientific and practical Center of dermatovenereology and cosmetology from 2022 to 2024. Dermatoscopic examination was performed using polarization and immersion dermatoscopy with 20-fold magnification.Results. The presence of mild vascular signs (punctate vessels) and the absence of a pigment pseudonetwork were the features of monoMPCM in children. In adolescents and adults, pigment network was detected in 77.8%, more often in men. The vascular erythematous component in adults was more intense than in children and was detected in 74.1% of patients. Yellow-brown structureless areas, brown reticular lines (pigment pseudonetwork) are due to hyperpigmentation of the basal cell layer, while the vascular pattern was the result of dilation of vessels in the papillary dermis. With ISM, a pronounced vascular pattern (intense erythematous background and reticular vascular pattern) and the obligatory presence of pseudonetwork were observed. The pathomorphological picture of ISM differed from MPCM by the presence of perivascular lymphomonocytic infiltrates and an insignificant number of eosinophilic granulocytes.Conclusion. In this study, age-related dermatoscopic features of monomorphic rashes in mastocytosis were systematized for the first time and compared with the pathomorphological signs of MPCM and ISM.
