AbstractObjectiveTo examine the present methods used to define nutritional needs, and to analyse the intrinsic limitations of the reductionist chemical, biological and medical approaches to assess requirements. To establish the necessity to incorporate the complexities emerging from a broader understanding of the biological sciences as well as to include environmental and social dimensions in addressing nutritional needs.MethodExamples of the limitations of current approaches and the implications of these in defining potential solutions and policy options to address present nutritional problems are presented and discussed.ConclusionThe chemical and biological sciences have provided a strong base for nutrition and have been essential in establishing nutrition as a science with public health relevance. However, these approaches are clearly insufficient to address the main challenges that confront nutrition science now in the twenty-first century. There is a pressing need to include the social, economic and human rights aspects in order to define future policies that will secure the right to safe and nutritious food for all.

Full textAbstract:
Food consumption recording is a social need because the consumption is an indicator of the nutrition status that means the health status, of the population, and an economic factor. Food consumption trends in the nineties are characterized by a steep fall of most kinds of foods, mainly from animal sources. It is not necessary to adjust this fact with respect to recent data of the time series. Four commodities show a positive increase. The trend of food consumption is bound up with more slowly increasing incomes of the population than was the increase in food prices after their liberalization. The consequences of consumption trends do not imply any deterioration of nutrition status because nutrition requirements have been met except calcium and vitamin A supply due to a decrease in milk consumption, and except vitamin C, still a deficient element although its supply has substantially increased. A systematic attention should be focused on the population nutrition through nutrition and food policies.

The quality of psychosocial care provided the young child is reflected in the caregiver's responsiveness, warmth and affection, involvement with the child, and encouragement of autonomy and exploration. First, research was examined linking the quality of psychosocial care to a child's development of mental abilities, and to his or her growth and nutrition status. There is considerable correlational evidence and some experimental evidence for this linkage. Second, the barriers to adequate psychosocial care were explored, including maternal beliefs and confidence, stress and depression, social support, and autonomy and control of resources. Third, a number of strategies to enhance psychosocial care as a mechanism for increasing the child's nutrition status are described, at the level of the child, the caregiver, the child-caregiver relationship, and the community. All of the work was interpreted in terms of an interactive or transactional model of child development.

Full textAbstract:
Erosive tooth wear is a multifactorial condition resulting from the loss of mineralized dental structure by chemical, physical and / or mechanical processes, in the absence of microorganisms (biofilm), being modulated by biological, behavioral and occupational factors. The increase in the prevalence of non-carious tooth wear is mainly related to changes in eating habits, lifestyle and behavior in the last three decades, which has been cause for concern by the dental community. Due to the increase in life expectancy, especially in more developed countries, maintaining oral health is essential to improve quality of life and prevent comorbidities, increase self-esteem, in addition to improving chewing, speech and social life. Currently, the diagnosis of erosive tooth wear is based on clinical aspects of the lesions, however, knowing the factors associated with nutrition, occupation and lifestyle are essential to define the risk and the susceptibility of the patient to the development of lesions and indication of preventive measures and control. In view of the increase in its incidence and prevalence in young adults, the dental surgeon must know about its etiology, prevention, and treatment. Still, public policies focused on this issue need to be created and adopted. Thus, this study describes the main etiological, nutritional, behavioral, and social aspects associated with non-carious tooth wear, offering important information regarding treatment and mainly prevention.

Full textAbstract:
Many community-dwelling seniors are reported to have inadequate dietary intakes. Factors affecting food intake have been studied mainly from the perspectives of health professionals. As the reasons for adequate food intake are complex, understanding the seniors' perspective could provide further help in understanding their needs.Three semi-structured interviews were conducted with each of eight community-dwelling women aged 73 to 91 who were at-risk of malnutrition. A qualitative analysis showed the women were reporting three essential aspects: struggling to maintain their independence (i.e., frustration with health care, stereotyping seniors, simplifying cooking); learning new ways of functioning (i.e., adapting to health limitations, simplifying meals etc) and; taking control (i.e., planning own meal and food supplies, monitoring health and keeping physically and mentally active). Finally, this qualitative research paradigm was useful and it demonstrated how careful listening could help to understand the individual needs of free-living seniors at risk of malnutrition.

Full textAbstract:
Hypotheses explaining maternal compliance behavior in relation to maternal attitudes and motivations and family and social influences were explored retrospectively in families of 39 obese infants from six to twelve months of age. Maternal social support and infant characteristics were not strongly associated or predictive of maternal compliance behavior. Stressful life changes in the family were negatively associated with maternal compliance to the dietary regimen. Maternal perception of infant fatness was negatively associated with dietary compliance behavior and positively associated with study protocol compliance behavior. Demographic variables were positively associated with compliance to study protocol. Family stress, maternal health beliefs, and demographic variables outweighed social support in their power to predict compliance behaviors. Compliance to study requirements did not necessarily mean compliance to the dietary regimen. Clinical use of assessing family stress, maternal beliefs and demographic variables appears to provide additional understanding of compliance behaviors in mothers with infant feeding recommendations.

Full textAbstract:
The use of color coded prompts to influence students' food selections in choosing a balanced meal was investigated. Yellow, green, blue, and orange dots, representing the four major food groups, grains, fruit and vegetables, dairy, and meat respectively were displayed at the point-of-selection on food entree cards along the serving line of a college dining hall. Two grain servings, two fruit/vegetable servings, one dairy serving, and one meat serving, were suggested as the optimal combination for a balanced meal. The results indicated that the prompts, although noticed and understood by the majority of the students, did not significantly influence their food selections. These findings are inconsistent with earlier studies substantiating the effectiveness of color coded prompts at the point-of-selection in influencing food choices. Implications are discussed.

Aging is a process that incorporates changes not only biological, but also sociocultural, psychic and historical, characterized by its heterogeneity. With the advance of several sectors of Brazilian society, including primary and secondary health care systems, we experience the progression of longevity and the amount of elderly reaching the eighth decade of life and beyond. However, as the amount of years lived increases, so does the probability of vulnerability and disability. Behaviors involving appropriate eating habits, physical exercise practice and smoking abstention may contribute to prevent diseases and promote longevity. However, assimilation of proper feeding in routine depends on several sociocultural and economic factors. The central aim of this study was to investigate perceptions and representations of long-living older adults about their food habits, considering the relationship between food, longevity and their sociocultural meaning, more specifically: To systematize conceptual-theoretical basis of analysis to compose the references about aging, old age, culture and feeding; To outline the profile of the elderly respondents; and To characterize eating habits and their representations about food and longevity. This is an exploratory study with qualitative approach through content analysis and interviews with thirteen long-living older adults in São Paulo city. The sample profile consisted in high prevalence of women, widows, foreign and domestic (countryside inhabitants) immigrants, in cohabitation with other relatives, presence of chronic disease, Catholics, absence of smoking and financial vulnerability, in addition to low illiteracy level. All respondents reported changes in eating habits during their life course, mainly the ingestion of a greater sort of food. Among the main factors which influenced this practice, were included: information about the relationship between feeding and longevity received by media sources; food restriction from religious or cultural conceptions and the trivial food consumed over the years. It´s considered that beyond relationship between food consumption and life expectancy, conceptions related to other aspects were significant, among them, lifestyle and religiosity, illustrating aging complexity, as well as the need of multiprofessional engagement when thinking in health promotion. The importance of family proved to be significant and immigrant status was a preponderant factor in feeding patterns changes. Taboo-breaking shows itself essential, in view of new trials in feeding and nutrition sector. Finally, this research contributes to the development of new studies on the interface between nutrition and aging, as well as emerges as new a proposal in public policies in food sector and nutrition education programs focusing the elderly population
O envelhecimento é um processo que incorpora mudanças não somente biológicas, mas também socioculturais, psíquicas e históricas, caracterizando-se por sua heterogeneidade. Com o avanço de diversos setores da sociedade brasileira, incluindo saúde primária e secundária, nos deparamos com a progressão da longevidade e do número de idosos que atingem a oitava década de vida ou mais. Porém, juntamente com o aumento dos anos vividos, aumenta a probabilidade de vulnerabilidade e dependência. Atitudes que envolvam hábitos alimentares adequados, prática de exercícios físicos e abstenção do tabagismo podem contribuir para a prevenção de doenças e favorecer a longevidade. Entretanto, incorporar alimentação adequada na rotina depende de diversos fatores de ordem econômica e sociocultural. O objetivo central desta pesquisa foi investigar percepções e representações de idosos longevos sobre seus hábitos alimentares, considerando a relação entre alimentação, longevidade e seu significado sociocultural, mais especificamente: sistematizar a base teórico-conceitual das análises para composição de referências sobre envelhecimento, velhice, cultura e alimentação; delinear o perfil dos idosos entrevistados; caracterizar hábitos alimentares e suas representações sobre alimentação e longevidade. Trata-se de um estudo exploratório de abordagem qualitativa por meio da análise de conteúdo e entrevista com treze idosos longevos residentes no município de São Paulo. O perfil da amostra consistiu em maior prevalência de mulheres, viúvas, imigrantes estrangeiros e internos (zona rural), em coabitação com outros parentes, presença de doença crônica, católicos, ausência de tabagismo e de vulnerabilidade financeira, além de baixo nível de analfabetismo. Todos os entrevistados referiram mudança de hábitos alimentares ao longo da vida, principalmente em relação à ingestão de maior variedade de alimentos. Dentre os principais fatores que influenciaram nessa prática, foram incluídos: informações sobre a relação entre alimentação e longevidade recebidas principalmente pela mídia; restrição alimentar a partir de concepções religiosas ou culturais e o trivial consumido ao longo dos anos. Considera-se que, mais do que a relação do consumo alimentar com o longeviver, concepções relacionadas a outros aspectos vividos se fizeram expressivas, entre elas, o estilo de vida e religiosidade, demonstrando a complexidade do envelhecer, bem como a necessidade de engajamento multiprofissional ao se pensar na promoção da saúde. A importância da família mostrou-se significativa e a condição de imigrante foi fator preponderante na mudança de padrões alimentares. A quebra de tabus mostra-se essencial, tendo em vista novas experimentações no campo da alimentação. Coloca-se como possível contribuição da presente pesquisa o desenvolvimento de novos estudos com interface entre nutrição e envelhecimento, além da proposição de políticas públicas na área da alimentação e programas de educação nutricional voltados para o segmento idoso

Full textAbstract:
A matched case-control study was carried out to identify the factors associated with the nutritional status of children in Livingstone district, Zambia. A trained field researcher collected data on demographic, feeding practices and socio-economic factors in matched groups of underweight children and normal weight children from the mothers/caregivers of the children. Interviews, using a structured pre-tested questionnaire, were used to obtain the data. All children aged from six to fifty-nine months admitted at Livingstone General Hospital during the months of October to December, 2003 with a weight for age below &ndash2SD from the median of the reference population formed the underweight children (cases). The total was 47 children. The cases were then matched according to sex and age to 47 normal weight children attending the under five clinic at Livingstone General Hospital during the same months, with a weight for age above &ndash
2SD from the median of the reference population (controls). The final sample was 94 children. Weights were recorded using the same scale in the outpatient&rsquo
s department prior to admission and during the under five clinic session. Interviews then took place in a separate room after the clinic nurse had attended them. A separate visit was then made to the homes of the children on a different day. Odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals were used to measure strengths of associations. Results revealed that the basic causes of underweight were the poor economic state of the country, unfavorable policies and insufficient government support in the areas of health, education, agriculture, housing and employment. Underlying causes were inadequate access to food, inadequate care of children, poor access to health services and unhealthy living environments, while immediate causes were poor food intake and disease. Low educational and literacy levels of the mothers/caregivers, unemployment and lack of sufficient finances to access basic necessities such as food, housing and health contributed to underweight.

Este trabalho descreve uma análise de discurso de mães sociais, a respeito da alimentação e o ambiente das refeições oferecidas às crianças e adolescentes de abrigos. Foram feitas entrevistas com onze mães sociais e três diretoras de três abrigos na Grande São Paulo, e em seguida analisadas por meio da metodologia do Discurso do Sujeito Coletivo. O estudo resultou em 32 categorias de discurso, que abordaram as preferências alimentares, tipo e ambiente da alimentação, conversas e comportamentos durante as refeições, a importância de reunir a família nas refeições, o ensino de boas maneiras, o que se faz para as crianças comerem melhor e o abastecimento dos gêneros alimentícios. Dos discursos foi verificado que as mães sociais se preocupam com os rituais familiares durante as refeições, ocasiões em que se valoriza muito o comer junto, \"todos juntos ao redor da mesa\". Todavia, dá-se preferência ao comer em silêncio do que com conversas. A tarefa de servir os pratos praticamente é assumida pela mãe social, não dando muitas oportunidades para as crianças aprenderem. O capricho na alimentação e o omportamento das crianças \"lá fora\", são também preocupações das mães, que se esforçam para lhes ensinar boas maneiras para não terem problemas fora do abrigo. Foi feito também o levantamento do estado nutricional das 108 crianças e adolescentes por meio do IMC, resultadno em 7.45% de baixo peso e desnutrição e 21.3% de sobrepeso e obesidade. Uma análise qualitativa do cardápio semanal mostrou médias de frequência boas para carboidratos e proteínas, porém com frequências falhas em hortaliças e frutas em alguns dos lares infantis.This paper describes a speech analysis of social mothers on food and meal environment offered to children and teenagers in foster shelter homes. Eleven social mothers and three managers were interviewed in three shelter homes in São Paulo City and surroundings. An analysis of the \"collective subject speech\" metodology was carried out. From this research 32 speech categories were identified in respect of food preferences, types of food, meal environment, conversation, behavior and the importance of family gathering by mealtime, the good manners upbringing, what can be done in order to improve children´s nourishment, as well as the food supplies. It could be observed from this speech that the mothers were concerned about the importance of eating together, \"all together around the table\". However, the mothers rather eat in silence than talking to with each other. The children´s plates are always served by the social mothers, what does not give them the opportunity of helping themselves and learn how to do that. Preparing a good meal and the children´s behavior outside the shelter home are part of the social mothers´concern. They try to teach them good manners so they will have no problems outside the shelter home. The nutritional status of the 108 children and teenagers from the shelter homes was also researched through the percentiles of the body mass index. The results showed 7.45% of under weight and under nutrition, as well as 21.3% of overweight and obesity. A qualitative analysis of a weekly menu showed a good frequency means for carbohydrates and proteins, however with lacking frequencies for vegetables and fruits in some of the shelter homes.

Esta dissertação tem como objetivo compreender o funcionamento das famílias com crianças acometidas pela obesidade na instalação e manutenção da doença, na perspectiva dos pais. Nesta circunstância, foram considerados os sentimentos e dificuldades expressos pelas mães
frente à obesidade dos filhos; estratégias utilizadas para enfrentar o problema e indicadores no contexto familiar que pudessem estar contribuindo para a manutenção do quadro de obesidade infantil. O trabalho está dividido em três artigos, sendo um teórico e dois empíricos. O primeiro apresenta um breve histórico da necessidade humana de alimentação que mostrou as mudanças ocorridas que culminaram na proliferação da obesidade e, nesse cenário, as
transformações que a família enfrenta para adaptar-se ao meio permeado de tantas ofertas e constantes modificações, em articulação com a Teoria Sistêmica. O segundo artigo identifica no contexto familiar à luz da Teoria Sistêmica, os indicadores da dinâmica familiar que podem estar contribuindo para a instalação e a manutenção da obesidade na infância. O
terceiro artigo considera elementos presentes na história familiar das crianças com obesidade, os sentimentos expressos pelas famílias e as consequências físicas e psíquicas da evolução da doença. A pesquisa é de natureza qualitativa levando em consideração a experiência dos
participantes em relação ao tema. Foram entrevistadas seis mães e uma avó de crianças, na faixa etária entre 8 a 10 anos incompletos, que se encontravam em atendimento no
ambulatório de Obesidade Infantil do Instituto de Medicina Integral Professor Fernando Figueira (IMIP), na cidade do Recife. Utilizamos uma entrevista com roteiro previamente
estabelecido e, posteriormente, os resultados foram discutidos com base na análise de conteúdo temática. Os resultados indicaram que todos os membros do sistema estão
implicados na instalação da obesidade, através da rejeição materna, compensada por superproteção alimentar, conflitos conjugais, interferência das avós na alimentação dos netos,
o que demonstra confusão na hierarquia. As dificuldades de intercâmbio com o meio demonstraram que as famílias consomem alimentos com alto teor de gordura; a falta de
coesão acerca das normas alimentares e de limites à criança são elementos que podem estar contribuindo para a manutenção da obesidade na infânciaThis dissertation aims to understand the functioning of families with children affected by obesity in the installation and maintenance of the disease from the perspective of parents. In this circumstance, we considered the feelings expressed by mothers and difficulties facing the obesity of children, strategies used to address the problem in the family context and indicators that could be contributing to the maintenance of the obese children. The work is divided in three articles, one theoretical and two empirical. The first presents a brief history of the human need to feed that showed the changes that led to the proliferation of obesity and, in this scenario, the changes that the family faces in adapting to the environment permeated with so many offers and constant changes, in conjunction with Systemic Theory. The second article identifies the family context under the light of the Systemic Theory, indicators of family dynamics that may be contributing to the installation and maintenance of obesity in childhood. The third article considers elements in the family history of children with obesity, the sentiments expressed by the families and the physical and psychological consequences of disease progression. The research is qualitative in nature, taking into account the experience of participating in the issue. Six mothers were interviewed and a grandmother of children, aged between 8-10 years old, who were in the outpatient clinic of Childhood Obesity Institute of Medicine Professor Fernando Figueira (IMIP) in the city of Recife. We used an interview with previously established questions, and subsequently the results were discussed based on thematic content analysis. The results indicated that all members of the system are involved in the installation of obesity, through the maternal rejection, overprotection offset by food, marital conflicts, and interference from the grandparents in the feeding of grandchildren, which shows confusion in the hierarchy. The difficulties of exchange with the environment showed that families consume of food with high contents of fat, lack of cohesion about food standards and limits are the child elements that may be contributing to the maintenance of childhood obesity

AbstractGlobal warming has emerged as a major challenge to development and human wellbeing in Sub-Saharan Africa in general and Nigeria in particular. Periodic incidents show that this challenge will continue and increase in impact on all aspects of natural resources – agriculture, ecosystems services, biodiversity depletion, environmental degradation and human health. Recognizing the enormous potential of underutilized plant genetic resources (PGRs) is crucial as sources of solutions to a number of these threatening challenges emanating from climate change (food and nutrition insecurity, genetic erosion, loss of agro-biodiversity, green job growth and income generation) cannot be over-emphasized. Sphenostylis stenocarpa (Hochst. ex. A. Rich) Harms., commonly known as African yam bean (AYB) belonging to the leguminous Fabaceae, is an underutilized PGR with rich portfolio which could serve as vital source of robust adaption and resilient germplasm for vulnerable local communities in Nigeria. Its substantial nutritional, environmental, cultural, social, medicinal, industrial and soil restorative potentials underpins its position as climate – smart species. Enhancing the potentials of African yam bean via robust innovative approaches for wider utilization through accelerated research, farmer seed exchanges, in-situ and ex-situ conservations, farmers selection, and policy programs such as seed sovereignty will accentuate its adaptation and used as resilient climate –smart species for the vulnerable groups in Nigeria to cushion impact of climate change.

Full textAbstract:
This paper analyses the characteristics of wine consumers that may qualify them as wine experts. The wine evaluation expertise of consumers, as measured by various degrees of self-perceived ability, is hypothesised to causally depend on cognitive and non-cognitive characteristics of wine experience, on sensorial skills relevant for wine assessment and on wine consumption-related personality aspects. Our work consisted in measuring and analysing the relationships between the self-assessment of the ability to wine assessment given by a convenience sample of consumers and the qualification of their consumption experience and training (ranging from “simple” consumer to producer/seller to professional sommeliers), their sensorial (olfactory, flavour) skills and enogastronomic culture. Wine culture is defined as the capacity to harmonise wine and food and conceive wine as a nutritional, social and health-related means. The analysed data refer to a tasting experiment held as a social activity during a scientific meeting in Pescara, Italy, in 2018. The sample of wine assessors who filled in the evaluation questionnaire included both meeting participants and people belonging to AIS-Abruzzo, the regional association of chartered sommeliers. The data collected at wine tasters showed that there were strong relationships between the self-evaluation as wine expert and the consumption experience, the assessment skills, and the wine consumption “culture”.

AbstractTrade is an integral part of our food systems. It connects people at all stages of agricultural and food value chains, linking farmers with consumers across the world. It also links nations to each other, and thus scales up from the domestic to the global perspective. By moving food from surplus to deficit regions, trade promotes food security, the diversity of foods available, and can affect preferences and diets. Trade impacts food prices and the allocation of resources, and thus is inherent to economic growth and interacts with the environment. At the same time, trade can create both winners and losers, resulting in inequality, and can generate negative social and environmental outcomes. This chapter provides an overview of the current debate around trade in food and agriculture and illustrates the role that trade can play within food systems in balancing different dimensions of sustainability. While trade openness is generally conducive to food security and promotes economic growth, formulating trade policies to achieve multiple targets, including environmental, nutritional and social objectives, requires careful analysis. Trade policies may not be the best and most efficient instruments for achieving multiple objectives, and they should be framed by complementary policies targeting specific aspects of sustainability. For example, in addressing climate change, one of today’s most pressing challenges, a combination of food trade and domestic policy instruments can sharpen the adaptation and mitigation roles of trade and significantly contribute to promoting the adoption of climate-smart technologies. In order to effectively design such policies, a better understanding of both the complex linkages between trade and sustainability outcomes and the simultaneous impacts of policy approaches on all parts of the food system will be necessary.

Biotechnology utilizes biological systems or living organisms to create, develop, or make products. This chapter reviews the current state of biotechnology and examines its future trends. Currently, biotechnology plays key roles in medicine, agriculture, and industry. In medicine, vaccines which still rely on biological systems for their production, are the best tools to prevent infectious diseases; antibodies and RNA/DNA probes have been crucial in detecting and treating diseases; and genetic editing and gene therapy is making it possible to treat hereditary diseases. In agriculture, biotechnology is generating crops that produce high yields and need fewer inputs, crops that need fewer applications of pesticides, and crops with enhanced nutrition profiles. In industry, biotechnology is being utilized in food processing, metal ore processing, the production of chemicals, and reducing energy consumption and pollution.

Full textAbstract:
Nowadays, the evolution of the concept of nutrition has acquired a notion of three concurrent dimensions. Nutrition was considered an exclusively biological process while now, it comprises social and ecological aspects. Inadequate nutrition and air pollution are two major nongenetic environmental factors known to cause serious public health problems worldwide. Air pollution does not impact in the same way on the population at large, being particularly the children one of the most vulnerable subpopulations. Additionally, the nutritional status may modify the susceptibility to air pollution exposure and cause a wide range of acute and chronic cardio-respiratory diseases. Moreover, undernutrition is identified as a major health problem with devastating healthcare effects on the individual, social, and economic development. On a global scale, chronic undernourishment affects 144 million children younger than 5 years. However, the mechanism linking undernutrition and air pollution exposure still remains unclear. At present, only few epidemiological studies have been reported associating child malnutrition and air pollution. Therefore, a better understanding of the interactions between undernutrition and air pollution exposure is needed to guide action by individuals and governments.

Full textAbstract:
Global events like pandemics or climatic changes have an important influence on food systems. Taking into account consumer requirements during the pandemic, nutrition and food safety are very significant for individuals' well-being. Lockdowns, quarantine, and social distancing changed daily routines as well as nutritional behaviors from shopping for food to eating habits. Direct transmission of coronavirus through food was not observed. Food safety and food sustainability are strongly affected due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Unfortunately, the pandemic is still ongoing. For this reason, novel treatments of COVID-19 and immune-boosting food products will remain on-trend. Food loss and food waste should be avoided to achieve a sustainable food future. This chapter reveals a basis for the pandemic about the changes on nutritional behaviors, eating habits, and aimed to highlight the importance of food handling and food safety issues to create awareness. Future studies should investigate the sustainability, innovative technologies, mechanisms, and changes on nutritional behavior and food safety aspects during the pandemic.

This chapter deals with the elaboration of a conceptual framework for agricultural cooperatives in Morocco: sustainable development of rural territories. The farming cooperative associations form an effective means for the advancement of the agricultural sector, being one of the elements of agricultural policy, which play an important role in the development of agricultural production, both plant and animal, as well as in the development process in Morocco, especially for rural development, and through it, rural income of the farmers and their social statuses. In this chapter, the authors have taken the Moroccan agriculture cooperatives as a case of cooperative longevity and survival in order to observe the evolution and processes of adaptation to the distinct economic, social, and environmental demands of a broad range of member-owners. The demands of the farming community, members, and society have resulted in social and environmental factors being as much a priority as economic aspects.

ABSTRACT Background: Previous study reported that numerous nutritional-related interventions have been shown to improve health aspect for young children. However, social and economic factors also played an indirect role to their nutritional and health fulfillment. The purpose of this study was to examine biological and social-economic determinants of child development using path analysis model. Subjects and Method: This was an analytic observational study with a cross-sectional design. The study was carried out at early childhood education programs (PAUD) in Wonokromo Sub-district, Surabaya, East Java. A sample of 200 children aged 2-5 years old from 25 PAUD was selected by simple random sampling. The dependent variable was child development. The independent variables were nutritional status, exclusive breastfeeding, number of children, family income, maternal education, and maternal employment status. The data were analyzed by path analysis. Results: Child developmental disorder directly increased with poor nutritional status (b= 0.95; 95% CI= 0.03 to 1.86; p= 0.041), low family income (b= 2.01; 95% CI= 1.13 to 2.90; p < 0.001), mothers working outside the home (b= 0.85; 95% CI= 0.07 to 1.63; p= 0.032), exclusive breastfeeding (b= 2.05; 95% CI= 1.23 to 2.86; p<0.001), and number of children ≥2 (b= 1.21; 95% CI= 0.20 to 2.23; p= 0.019). Child developmental disorders indirectly increased with maternal education. Conclusion: Child developmental disorder directly increases with poor nutritional status, low family income, mothers working outside the home, exclusive breastfeeding, and number of children ≥2. Child developmental disorder indirectly increases with maternal education. Keywords: child development, biological, social-economic determinants Correspondence: Ajeng Ayu Titah Pujangkara.

The importance of animal husbandry reaches all aspects (social, economic and environmental) of sustainable development in rural areas. People produce for sale, but also for consumption. At the same time, considering the location of this economic activity and the practice of farm technology, it is necessary to observe certain norms in order to ensure good environmental conditions. Of course, the future points to the mistakes of the past. Today, modern animal technology is coordinated through IT programs, which anticipate not only the production but also the risks. Specialized literature indicates the environmental risks arising from cattle breeding at planetary level: accumulation of methane as a specificity of digestion, but also through accumulated manure. In this sense, however, the bibliographic studies and the statistical analyses are in favour of maintaining the herds of cattle, on condition there is genetic improvement in the nutritional aspect, as well as judicious waste management. These considerations are appreciated by Romanian farmers in the economic activity of cattle breeding, promoting measures to reduce greenhouse gases in this field.

Full textAbstract:
Introduction: Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is characterized by a neurodevelopmental disorder, in which the child has persistent deficits in verbal and / or non-verbal communication, social interaction and behavior. One of the factors related to the cause of ASD are nutritional aspects, such as intestinal dysbiosis. Objective: To analyze the relationship between imbalance in the intestinal microbiota and the pathophysiological characteristics of ASD. Methodology: This is a systematic review, carried out in the Pubmed, SciELO databases, in order to answer the question: what is the relationship between intestinal microbiota imbalance and ASD? 139 articles were found, of which 12 were selected, through the simultaneous crossing between the descriptors “Autistic Disorder”, “Dysbiosis”. Articles written in Portuguese and English published from 2016 to 2021 were inserted. Results/Discussion: Most children with ASD exhibit gastrointestinal symptoms, such as constipation and diarrhea, and greater intestinal permeability, with major differences in the composition of microorganisms in the gastrointestinal tract (GIT). Patients with ASD have a lower microbiota diversity in the GIT. However, it is not possible to identify the origin of this change, since children with ASD often have changes in diet and eating behavior, which could alter the microbiota. Conclusion: It is still complex to understand what are the main causes of ASD. The gut-brain axis is an important associated factor both in the etiology and in the clinical manifestations of ASD. The use of diets, together with the modulation of the microbiota, by the use of probiotics and specific antibiotics, are possibilities for promising therapy.

Full textAbstract:
This rapid review synthesises evidence on key aspects of mainstreaming institutional resilience and systems strengthening in donor policies and programming in FCAS (Fragile and Conflict-affect States) contexts, particularly in nutrition (food security), health, WASH and the economic sector. Institutional resilience is the ability of a social system (society, community, organisation) to absorb and recover from external shocks, while positively adapting and transforming to address long-term changes and uncertainty. Investing in strong, well-functioning and adaptable social systems, such as health, education and social protection systems, can build resilience, as this help to cushion the negative economic and social effects of crises. While development actors have established guidance on how institutions can be made more effective, inclusive and accountable, there is much less literature on institutional resilience and how development actors can help to foster it. Much of the literature notes a lack of systematic evidence on applying the concept of resilience. These gaps extend to a dearth of guidance on how development actors can mainstream institutional resilience and systems strengthening into their policies and programmes. This rapid review draws on common factors discussed in the literature that are considered important to the strengthening of resilience and particular systems. These may, in turn, provide an indication of ways in which to mainstream institutional resilience and systems strengthening into development policy and programming
