Health care during pre-conception and pregnancy is one of the important factors that can improve pregnancy outcomes. This study aims to explore how pre-conception care, nutrition knowledge and practices, and the factors that influence it in pregnant women. This study used a cross-sectional design with a qualitative study approach. The subject was 11 pregnant women who were selected as well as 5 health workers. The data pre-conception of care and nutrition practices before pregnant, nutrition knowledge and nutrition practices, food taboo and suggestion, cultural belief influence, and data sources of information and nutritional information needs was carried out using the Focus Group Discussion. The results showed that most of the pregnant women did not get and done pre-conception nutrition care, had insufficient nutritional knowledge and the practice of balanced nutrition was still low. There is still an influence of cultural belief in the form of food taboos and food suggestions, and the lack of sources of information and nutritional information towards nutrition practice. It is necessary to develop media and nutrition educational methods to improve nutrition and health care during pre-conception and pregnancy, and further studies are needed specifically on the role of family factors, especially grandmothers, mothers in-laws, and family members on nutrition practices in pregnant women.

This study deals with the determination of the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in the atmospheric particulate matters (PM 2.5 ) at a semi residential site of Gazipur, Dhaka, Bangladesh. Source identification and possible human health impact of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon was evaluated as well. A total of 20 samples were collected in six weeks period of time. Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAH’s) were determined using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. The average concentration of Anthracene, Phenanthrene, Pyrene, Chrysene, Benzo (a) anthracene, Benzo(a)pyrene, perylene were found to be 0.309, 0.159, 0.227, 2.120, 1.954, 2.269 and 3.373µgm -3 respectively. Two-way ANOVA test revealed that the concentration of different PAHs species (F cal > F crit ) are significantly different from each other at a 95% confidence level. The main contributory sources for PAHs were found gasoline exhaust, diesel exhaust, wood burning and brick kilns. The result revealed that these compounds are present in a higher level in the atmosphere when compared with the value of other countries in the world. Concentration of highly carcinogenic Benzo(a) pyrene was in a range where carcinogenic effect is an immediate threat in case of long-time exposure and hence regular monitoring is suggested.
本研究涉及在孟加拉国达卡加齐浦尔的半居住区大气颗粒物(PM 2.5)中多环芳烃(PAHs)的测定。并对多环芳烃的来源鉴定及可能对人体健康的影响进行了评价。在6周的时间内共采集20份样本。采用气相色谱-质谱联用技术对多环芳烃(PAH)进行了测定。蒽、菲、芘、芘、苯并(a)蒽、苯并(a)芘、苝的平均浓度分别为0.309、0.159、0.227、2.120、1.954、2.269和3.373µgm -3。双因素方差分析显示,在95%的置信水平上,不同多环芳烃种类的浓度(F cal > F crit)差异显著。多环芳烃的主要来源是汽油废气、柴油废气、木材燃烧和砖窑。结果显示,与世界其他国家相比,这些化合物在大气中的含量更高。高致癌性苯并(a)芘的浓度处于长期接触会产生直接致癌威胁的范围内,因此建议定期监测。

The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), is a federally funded program to provide food assistance to those that struggle to afford it. This program provides timely, targeted, and temporary benefits to people in need. SNAP has helped millions of low-income Americans have the necessary nutritional support and is one of the largest programs working to fight hunger. As changes happen to the population, the SNAP program changes to meet needs. Although SNAP was created to help those in assistance, only certain people are eligible [1]. Abstract The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) is a federally funded program to provide food assistance to struggling Americans. The SNAP program, currently under review, is proposing a nearly 30% decrease, thus eliminating benefits for at least 4 million people and reducing benefits for many others. The current SNAP program only provides $1.40 per meal per person, leading to families rely on foods that are less expensive, and often provide less nutritional value, to stretch out their monthly allotment. The new SNAP proposal would drastically cut 260,000 store options around the country, in favor of a new government-driven approach of providing boxed food for SNAP households. SNAP participants are currently at a significant disadvantage in terms of dietary quality relative to non-participants in fruit and vegetable consumption. This policy change would further increase this issue. Food insecurity, even marginal food security, is associated with chronic and costly health problems and behaviors among adults. SNAP participants may be at a higher risk of having a nutritional intake pattern of low consumption of all the five major food groups, while also consuming larger than recommended amounts of fats, sugars, and sodium. Not only are SNAP participants consuming less across all main food groups, their dietary quality is less than non-SNAP participants including whole grains, leafy green vegetables, and healthy meats, due to costs. With the SNAP program currently under review, we recommend the following policy changes,

High salinity, low soil organic matter content and poor soil structure severely limited vegetables production in saline-alkali area. In vegetable facilities, drip irrigation could significantly induce salt content, improve water and nutrition utilization rate though forming “desalinized soil layer”. Application of organic manure could alleviate salt stress by increasing soil organic matter content, promoting the formation of soil aggregate structure, decreasing pH and increasing nutrients in saline-alkali soil. Application of conditioner on saline-alkali soil could partly improve soil physicochemical properties with decreasing salt content.

Corn is commonly attacked by fungi and mycotoxins. The negative impacts caused by these toxic metabolites justify the use tools that enable constant monitoring and provide a quick feedback. The natural occurrence of mycotoxins, fumonisins B1+B2 (FUM), Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1), Deoxynivalenol (DON) and Zearalenone (ZEN) was investigated through Near Infrared Spectroscopy (NIR) in 3,069 spectra of corn samples from several Brazilian states throughout 2019. FUM was the most prevalent (98.2%) mycotoxin found in this study, followed by AFB1 (20.3%), DON (9.6%) and ZEN (5.9%). The annual average of FUM (B1+B2) was 2,092 µg kg -1 and the average in positive samples was 2,130 µg kg -1 , with variations in some periods of the year. The annual mean of AFB1 was low, 1.8 µg kg -1 , and the average in positive samples was 8.9 µg kg -1 . As well as the prevalence, the concentrations of DON and ZEN were relatively low: 39 and 6 µg kg -1 , respectively.

玉米经常受到真菌和真菌毒素的侵害。这些有毒代谢物造成的负面影响证明使用能够持续监测并提供快速反馈的工具是合理的。通过近红外光谱(NIR)研究了2019年巴西几个州玉米样品3069个光谱中的真菌毒素、伏马毒素B1+B2 (FUM)、黄曲霉毒素B1 (AFB1)、脱氧雪腐镰刀菌醇(DON)和玉米赤霉烯酮(ZEN)的自然存在。本研究中发现的真菌毒素以FUM(98.2%)最多,其次是AFB1 (20.3%), DON(9.6%)和ZEN(5.9%)。FUM (B1+B2)的年平均值为2092µg kg -1,阳性样品的平均值为2130µg kg -1,在一年中的某些时期有所变化。AFB1的年平均值较低,为1.8µg kg -1,阳性样品的平均值为8.9µg kg -1。DON和ZEN的浓度相对较低,分别为39和6µg kg -1。这些发现显示了真菌毒理学监测对避免经济损失和保护动物健康的重要性。使用NIR等快速诊断工具,可以以敏捷和有效的方式做出决策。

Algae belong to a wide range of photosynthetic organisms that grow in aquatic environments (rivers, oceans and lakes) [13]. They are commonly classified into microalgae (unicellular and simple multicellular structures) and macroalgae (complex multicellular structures) depending on their size and cellular organization. Microalgae are microscopic single cells which may be prokaryotic (e.g. cyanobacteria) or eukaryotic (e.g. green algae) [13]. Furthermore, they are photoautotrophic microorganisms with the ability to use solar energy, reduce inorganic carbon to organic matter and producing biomass simultaneously [4].
