Customer engagement using local shop social activity monitoring
This document proposes a social media monitoring application to help local businesses better engage customers. It would allow businesses to monitor customer check-ins on platforms like Foursquare in real-time, create membership pages to reward loyal customers, and manage online information. The proposed application would use location data from an iPhone app and web technologies like PHP and a MongoDB database to provide businesses tools to build relationships with customers through social media interactions.
Bosinver farm cottages think global shop local feature
Pat Smith and Janie Cooksley run guesthouses in Cornwall that feature locally sourced decorations and items to reflect Cornwall's culture. They fill their cottages and rooms with crafts, art, and decorations from local shops and galleries to help support Cornish businesses. Their attention to detail using locally found items like beach pebbles and driftwood helps visitors experience the flavor of Cornwall. Both women believe sourcing locally makes their properties feel unique and personal, and helps uplift and inspire visitors to take a piece of Cornwall home with them.
Give Thanks Shop Local REACH
Support local St. Louis Park businesses this holiday season by shopping small and local on Small Business Saturday. Shop local businesses in St. Louis Park to give thanks and support the community during the holidays.
Shop Local
The document encourages shopping locally for several reasons. Shopping local keeps more money in the community as local businesses recirculate more of each dollar spent locally. Local businesses also provide more jobs to the community and help the local economy. Shopping local reduces carbon emissions from driving by making purchases closer to home. Supporting local businesses strengthens neighborhoods and offers unique products that can't be found at large chains.
Effect of iron and vitamin C supplementation on anemia in girls
The document discusses a study that examined the effects of supplementing subjects' diets with iron, folic acid, and vitamin C from amla powder or lemon water. The study found a 13.6% increase in mean hemoglobin levels for subjects taking iron, folic acid, and amla powder, and a 9.7% increase for subjects taking iron, folic acid, and lemon water. It recommends including at least 50mg of vitamin C from natural sources along with weekly iron supplements to enhance iron absorption and hematological health.

Scaling up integrated community based nutrition in Thailand
Malnutrition must be addressed beyond just health issues through advocacy and national development plans that integrate nutrition priorities. Early implementation of Thailand's national nutrition plan faced coordination challenges between sectors due to rigid government structures and resource allocation. Integrating nutrition into broader social and health development plans, spearheaded by a Poverty Alleviation Plan, helped scale up nutrition programs. Community health volunteers were trained to conduct growth monitoring and promotion activities, and marked improvements in child malnutrition were seen within 5 years.
Platform for Health and Economic Convergence
The document proposes the Health and Economic Convergence Platform, a partnership between McGill University and The INCLEN Trust International to harness business and economics for sustainable health and wealth. The platform will serve as a think tank and knowledge hub, applying a "whole of society" approach to converge science, policy, action and education across health, economic and social domains. It will establish local, national and global networks to influence government policies, programs, products and practices in sectors like healthcare, agriculture and education through grassroots organizations, policy units and public-private partnerships.
Food Security Center at the Universitat Hohenheim
The Food Security Center at the University of Hohenheim in Germany works to reduce hunger and achieve food security through innovative scientific contributions. The Center takes a multidisciplinary approach to topics like sustainable food availability, access, utilization, quality and safety through teaching, research and policy advice. It awards up to 29 annual scholarships for PhD students and postdocs. The Center also conducts interdisciplinary teaching and training, demand-driven research, and provides capacity building and knowledge transfer services to support food security.
Innovation development for mountainous agriculture in SE Asia
The document discusses the Uplands Research Program which was established in 2000 to address issues of land degradation, poverty, and food insecurity in ecologically fragile and economically disadvantaged upland regions of Southeast Asia. The program carries out interdisciplinary research in Northern Thailand and Northern Vietnam with the goals of establishing sustainable land use and agricultural systems, improving research methods for complex mountainous environments, and developing policy measures to address rural poverty and food insecurity. A key concept is the integration of different knowledge domains like biophysical, economic, and stakeholder knowledge to understand the system and build scenarios to support sustainable innovations.
Aflatoxin risk under climate change
This document discusses measuring and predicting aflatoxin risk in crops under climate variability and change. Aflatoxins are toxic molds that contaminate crops in tropical regions, causing health issues. The study will (1) assess current aflatoxin levels in crops and blood in Senegal, (2) adapt a crop model to project pre- and post-harvest risk under weather scenarios, (3) develop risk assessments combining weather forecasts and the model, and (4) test management strategies to reduce contamination. The research aims to provide seasonal forecasts of aflatoxin for monitoring and mitigation in West Africa under current and future climate conditions.
Coping food price hikes: Strategies of the poor in Sri Lanka
The document summarizes a study on coping strategies adopted by poor households in Kandy district, Sri Lanka during times of food price hikes. The study found that households primarily cope by engaging in multiple income sources, increased reliance on credit, borrowing from informal sources, and support from friends/family. They also cut non-food spending, ate less frequently and in smaller portions, and substituted cheaper local foods. The choice of strategy depended on the household resources and external environment. While hunger was not widespread, some coping strategies like substituting and reducing food intake likely deteriorated nutritional status. The document recommends policies account for differences between rural, urban and estate communities and focus on staple foods like rice and wheat that experienced price fluctuations.
TELFUN project
The TELFUN project was an interdisciplinary research project from 2007-2012 at Wageningen University that combined plant breeding, food technology, nutrition and social sciences to link the production of local food crops to the nutrition of resource-poor communities using local processing techniques in order to stimulate food sovereignty.
1,000 Days and Scaling Up Nutrition
Undernutrition during a child's first 1,000 days (from conception to age 2) can lead to lifelong health and developmental problems. Each year, 3.5 million children under 5 die due to undernutrition-related causes. Fortunately, proven and cost-effective interventions exist such as educating mothers, fortifying foods, and providing supplements during this crucial window. The Scaling Up Nutrition (SUN) initiative aims to implement these solutions on a large scale in developing countries and build a global movement to combat undernutrition and keep it a priority issue.
Integrated post harvest management for improving nutrition and health
Integrated post harvest management (IPHM) aims to utilize 100% of agricultural production. IPHM techniques can be adopted for many fruits and vegetables. As a case study, cauliflower leaves - typically unutilized - can be removed after harvest. The leaves contain substantial beta-carotene and can be processed into a powder to fortify foods and combat vitamin A deficiency. Establishing Integrated Post Harvest Management Centers (IPHMCs) could help reduce post-harvest losses and global hunger through optimized utilization of agricultural outputs.
Initiatives of the North-West University
The North-West University in South Africa has two initiatives to link food and agricultural research in Africa: BIODIVERSITY and SUNRAY. BIODIVERSITY focuses on managing agricultural biodiversity for better nutrition, health, livelihoods and sustainable production systems. It involves various studies on indigenous foods. SUNRAY aims to identify current and future nutrition research priorities and develop a strategic roadmap to guide nutrition research funding and resources over the next 15 years through mapping existing research and identifying environmental impacts and challenges. The outcome will be nutrition research programs and activities to address malnutrition in sub-Saharan Africa.
Control of the mite in honeybee colonies
Amitraz was evaluated for its efficacy against Varroa destructor mites in honeybee colonies. Ten colonies were divided into treated and control groups. The treated colonies received plastic strips impregnated with amitraz for 30 days, followed by coumaphos strips for 45 days. Samples found the amitraz treatment killed 93.82% of mites on average, significantly higher than the 11.11% in the control group. The results show amitraz is an effective control agent against Varroa mites.
Novel staple food-based strategies to improve micronutrient status in Africa
Yellow cassava with beta-carotene has been produced in Kenya as part of novel staple food strategies to improve micronutrient status in Africa. Malaria infection can reduce the efficacy of iron fortification programs by blunting iron absorption. A booklet was made available with traditional recipes using micronutrient-rich millet, sorghum and maize from West Africa, available in English and French. A training handbook was also produced on solutions to micronutrient malnutrition.
Food Security Atlas of rural India
This document summarizes a study on food security in rural India conducted by the Institute for Human Development and the UN World Food Programme. The study analyzed indicators of food availability, access, and absorption across 8 states to develop composite food security indices for districts. It found that tribal regions of Bihar, Jharkhand, Odisha, Chhattisgarh, and Bundelkhand face extreme food insecurity, while southern Maharashtra, northwest UP, and northeast Rajasthan are more food secure. The analysis aims to identify the most vulnerable areas and communities to help target policy interventions for improving rural food security in India.
Rooting out hunger in Malawi with potato and sweetpotato
The document discusses efforts to address hunger and malnutrition in Malawi through the promotion of early maturing potato and vitamin A-rich sweet potato varieties. The Malawi Growth and Development Strategy and Agriculture Sector Wide Approach Programme target agriculture and food security. A nutrition policy was also developed to address high stunting and underweight rates in children under five. The International Potato Center, with funding from Irish Aid, is implementing potato and sweet potato projects to increase food security, diversification and nutrition by promoting varieties that contain important nutrients. The projects have strengthened capacity, improved varieties, promoted seed production technologies, and empowered farmers to increase incomes and nutrition.
Incorporation of omega 3 fatty acids in muscle
1) The study evaluated the influence of fatty acid composition in feed on the muscle composition of Rana catesbeiana at different development stages.
2) The results showed that feed 1 contained more unsaturated fatty acids like omega-3 and less saturated fatty acids compared to feeds 2 and 3.
3) The muscle of imagos and adults contained higher levels of omega-3 fatty acids and less saturated fatty acids than the feeds, suggesting the frogs retained more unsaturated fatty acids in their tissues.
Sustainable development of healthy oilseeds
This document discusses strategies for developing sustainable oilseed production systems in Argentina. It notes the negative consequences of agricultural intensification, including reduced biodiversity and reliance on inputs. The Oilseed and Regional Crops course aims to promote research on mixing species and evaluating weed management strategies for crops like flax, rapeseed and sunflower. The objectives are to understand sustainable agricultural systems through research on intercropping and agroecological approaches. It stresses the need to move beyond reductionist models and reconcile productivity with environmental and social sustainability to ensure food security.
Strong through Linkages: An example from Afghanistan
The FAO supports the Ministry of Agriculture, Irrigation and Livestock in Afghanistan through a German trust fund to build capacities in food and nutrition security. They work across sectors to develop policies and strategies and implement community-based projects aimed at reducing malnutrition through food-based approaches. Women extension officers from the Ministries work with community platforms to promote using locally available and affordable foods for child nutrition.

Wound healing PPT
This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.
THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.
