Better lives through livestock: ILRI in East Africa focus on dairyILRI
Presentation by Amos Omore at a webinar held to highlight opportunities and initiatives for the development of sustainable dairy farm systems in East Africa 1 June 2021
By: Suresh Babu
The structural adjustments of the 1980s and 1990s led to drastic fiscal cuts in financing of public extension systems causing their near collapse in many developing countries. Several new players tried to enter and fill the vacuum, including the private sector. Yet it is not clear how much and how well the private sector is able to fill the gap left by the dysfunctional public systems. This seminar is based on a recent book titled Knowledge Driven Development: Global Lessons from Private Extension (2015, Elsevier), a collection of case studies evaluating 10 private extension models in seven developing countries. The book assesses the functioning of private sector extension systems in various contextual settings. Common knowledge is that most private sector extension models are implemented for, and seem to work well for farmers selling high value commodities. But for staple commodity growers (such as cereal growers), with a small market surplus and little scope for contract farming, these systems may not be sustainable due to cost factors. Some of the case studies challenges this conventional wisdom. Lessons drawn from the cases could be important in giving direction to future development, research and policy on private extension systems. It is observed that private companies have created shared value for farmers across all cases. Integrated services provided as part of private extension programs were a major contributing factor for their success. Private extension programs also help in the effective use of technology for increasing farmer productivity. Additionally, they provide assured market access and price to contracted farmers, thereby reducing the uncertainty of demand to a great extent. Extension programs implemented by private companies lead to inclusive innovation by engaging farmers in development of technical and market solutions. They also reduce barriers to accessing quality inputs. Further, they tend to induce collective action amongst farmer groups, increasing solidarity. Private extension is demand driven, directly addresses information needs of contract farmers, and under certain conditions can fill the gap left by public extension systems in developing countries.

(May 29th, 2024) Advancements in Intravital Microscopy- Insights for Preclini...Scintica Instrumentation
Intravital microscopy (IVM) is a powerful tool utilized to study cellular behavior over time and space in vivo. Much of our understanding of cell biology has been accomplished using various in vitro and ex vivo methods; however, these studies do not necessarily reflect the natural dynamics of biological processes. Unlike traditional cell culture or fixed tissue imaging, IVM allows for the ultra-fast high-resolution imaging of cellular processes over time and space and were studied in its natural environment. Real-time visualization of biological processes in the context of an intact organism helps maintain physiological relevance and provide insights into the progression of disease, response to treatments or developmental processes.
In this webinar we give an overview of advanced applications of the IVM system in preclinical research. IVIM technology is a provider of all-in-one intravital microscopy systems and solutions optimized for in vivo imaging of live animal models at sub-micron resolution. The system’s unique features and user-friendly software enables researchers to probe fast dynamic biological processes such as immune cell tracking, cell-cell interaction as well as vascularization and tumor metastasis with exceptional detail. This webinar will also give an overview of IVM being utilized in drug development, offering a view into the intricate interaction between drugs/nanoparticles and tissues in vivo and allows for the evaluation of therapeutic intervention in a variety of tissues and organs. This interdisciplinary collaboration continues to drive the advancements of novel therapeutic strategies.
The increased availability of biomedical data, particularly in the public domain, offers the opportunity to better understand human health and to develop effective therapeutics for a wide range of unmet medical needs. However, data scientists remain stymied by the fact that data remain hard to find and to productively reuse because data and their metadata i) are wholly inaccessible, ii) are in non-standard or incompatible representations, iii) do not conform to community standards, and iv) have unclear or highly restricted terms and conditions that preclude legitimate reuse. These limitations require a rethink on data can be made machine and AI-ready - the key motivation behind the FAIR Guiding Principles. Concurrently, while recent efforts have explored the use of deep learning to fuse disparate data into predictive models for a wide range of biomedical applications, these models often fail even when the correct answer is already known, and fail to explain individual predictions in terms that data scientists can appreciate. These limitations suggest that new methods to produce practical artificial intelligence are still needed.
In this talk, I will discuss our work in (1) building an integrative knowledge infrastructure to prepare FAIR and "AI-ready" data and services along with (2) neurosymbolic AI methods to improve the quality of predictions and to generate plausible explanations. Attention is given to standards, platforms, and methods to wrangle knowledge into simple, but effective semantic and latent representations, and to make these available into standards-compliant and discoverable interfaces that can be used in model building, validation, and explanation. Our work, and those of others in the field, creates a baseline for building trustworthy and easy to deploy AI models in biomedicine.

THE IMPORTANCE OF MARTIAN ATMOSPHERE SAMPLE RETURN.Sérgio Sacani
The return of a sample of near-surface atmosphere from Mars would facilitate answers to several first-order science questions surrounding the formation and evolution of the planet. One of the important aspects of terrestrial planet formation in general is the role that primary atmospheres played in influencing the chemistry and structure of the planets and their antecedents. Studies of the martian atmosphere can be used to investigate the role of a primary atmosphere in its history. Atmosphere samples would also inform our understanding of the near-surface chemistry of the planet, and ultimately the prospects for life. High-precision isotopic analyses of constituent gases are needed to address these questions, requiring that the analyses are made on returned samples rather than in situ.
Professional air quality monitoring systems provide immediate, on-site data for analysis, compliance, and decision-making.

Observation of Io’s Resurfacing via Plume Deposition Using Ground-based Adapt...Sérgio Sacani
Since volcanic activity was first discovered on Io from Voyager images in 1979, changes
on Io’s surface have been monitored from both spacecraft and ground-based telescopes.
Here, we present the highest spatial resolution images of Io ever obtained from a groundbased telescope. These images, acquired by the SHARK-VIS instrument on the Large
Binocular Telescope, show evidence of a major resurfacing event on Io’s trailing hemisphere. When compared to the most recent spacecraft images, the SHARK-VIS images
show that a plume deposit from a powerful eruption at Pillan Patera has covered part
of the long-lived Pele plume deposit. Although this type of resurfacing event may be common on Io, few have been detected due to the rarity of spacecraft visits and the previously low spatial resolution available from Earth-based telescopes. The SHARK-VIS instrument ushers in a new era of high resolution imaging of Io’s surface using adaptive
optics at visible wavelengths.
Multi-source connectivity as the driver of solar wind variability in the heli...Sérgio Sacani
The ambient solar wind that flls the heliosphere originates from multiple
sources in the solar corona and is highly structured. It is often described
as high-speed, relatively homogeneous, plasma streams from coronal
holes and slow-speed, highly variable, streams whose source regions are
under debate. A key goal of ESA/NASA’s Solar Orbiter mission is to identify
solar wind sources and understand what drives the complexity seen in the
heliosphere. By combining magnetic feld modelling and spectroscopic
techniques with high-resolution observations and measurements, we show
that the solar wind variability detected in situ by Solar Orbiter in March
2022 is driven by spatio-temporal changes in the magnetic connectivity to
multiple sources in the solar atmosphere. The magnetic feld footpoints
connected to the spacecraft moved from the boundaries of a coronal hole
to one active region (12961) and then across to another region (12957). This
is refected in the in situ measurements, which show the transition from fast
to highly Alfvénic then to slow solar wind that is disrupted by the arrival of
a coronal mass ejection. Our results describe solar wind variability at 0.5 au
but are applicable to near-Earth observatories.

Nutraceutical market, scope and growth: Herbal drug technologyLokesh Patil
As consumer awareness of health and wellness rises, the nutraceutical market—which includes goods like functional meals, drinks, and dietary supplements that provide health advantages beyond basic nutrition—is growing significantly. As healthcare expenses rise, the population ages, and people want natural and preventative health solutions more and more, this industry is increasing quickly. Further driving market expansion are product formulation innovations and the use of cutting-edge technology for customized nutrition. With its worldwide reach, the nutraceutical industry is expected to keep growing and provide significant chances for research and investment in a number of categories, including vitamins, minerals, probiotics, and herbal supplements.

smallholder producers that preclude
economies of scale
2. Credit facilities for basic inputs and services or
working capital are lacking. This discourages
investment to improve productivity
3. Lack of appropriate organizational models for

12. Criteria for becoming a Dairy Market Hub
DMH Category Criteria for becoming a DMH
a): Collective bulking and
sale of milk by members
of a farmers group
Farmers group:
i) is registered at district level
ii) has at least 1 link with a milk trader/ buyer
and at least 1 link with an input & services
provider
iii) members are able to access inputs &
services with or without on check-off
system
b) Individual members of a
farmers group sell milk
directly to traders
13. How many of each hub category?
DMH category Morogoro Tanga Total
a Chilling plant 0 2 2
a+b Chilling plant and milk
traders
6 6 12
b Milk traders 8 8 16
Total 14 16 30
Aim: Develop these into vibrant, well organized and sustainable
DMHs delivering demand-led inputs and services
14. Some lessons in facilitating change
1. How to adapt the concept of dairy market hubs to the specific
needs of the heterogeneous farmer groups
2. Farmer groups have ‘blueprints’ for organizational development
that they own: includes what Maziwa Zaidi can address and what
the groups will pursue by themselves.
3. SSPs domesticated dairy market hubs interventions linking traders
and BDS providers to improve access to inputs & services (on
check-off arrangements) in some villages
4. Desired flexibility in capacity development
5. It will take longer time to initiate "CHECK OFF and B2B" in some
remote villages because of few inputs and services providers
6. Overlapping roles and functions between ‘farmer group’ and
‘innovation platform’ in one or more villages has made us re-think
what multi-stakeholder processes are required at each level
15. Some lessons in facilitating change (cont’d)
7. ‘Rumours’ about handouts by Maziwa Zaidi
8. More demand for training than we can afford given limit of 30
farmers per group
9. District Community Development Departments interacting with the
groups on various development activities
10. Providing training closer to where farmers come from encourages
more women to participate
11. DDF is valued for sharing information, but need to re-emphasize its
role as an informal yet structured space for addressing common
challenges, to network, jointly advocate for changes in policy, and
that it is a joint effort where active participation is required to
achieve its intended goals.
