- This article acknowledges that land reform is critical in the development and transformation of economies especially in Sub Saharan Africa. (SSA). Land reform is a planned purposive change in the way land tenure is held or owned. It also includes the methods of cultivation that are employed and in a way, defines the relation of agriculture to the rest of the economy. Like most economies in Sub Saharan Africa (SSA), agriculture in Zimbabwe plays an important role in the country’s economy and also on the livelihoods of the rural populace whose quest for food security and nutrition, income and expansion of their rural economies is embedded in agriculture. This is clearly spelt out in the Zimbabwe’s economic blue print, the National Development Strategy One (NDS1) where agriculture forms the important enabler for the country’s social and economic transformation by the second Republic of President Emmerson Mnangagwa. Farmers under the A1 model of Zimbabwe’s Fast Track Land Reform Programme (FTLRP) have engaged in Farmer Led-Irrigation (FLI) initiatives to complement irrigation programmes by the Government of Zimbabwe. The main goal of these initiatives is to increase crop productivity that invariably enhances small holder farmers’ livelihoods. Rainfall agriculture has proven to be unreliable in the face of climate

- Covid-19 pandemic has greatly affected the agricultural sector in the Philippines. As the production of rice is affected by the lockdown, the Filipino farmers also suffered. The pandemic and the lockdown imposed in response to it have added to the burden for farmers and traders, whose movements are now restricted. In this study, the researchers aimed to give light to the experiences of the local farmers during the pandemic. These experiences are mainly focused on the effect of the pandemic on their livelihood, financial status, and their mental health. The data was collected through interviews by giving them questionnaires. The responses from the 16 respondents were analyzed to answer the study’s research questions. The data showed that person aged 41-45 were more dominant in farming than the person who aged 26-40 and 60 years old and above of the key-participants of the conducted study. The findings showed that most of the farmers have the same struggles experienced during the pandemic. These struggles are due to lack of equipment, drying of crops, pests, and the added burden of strict protocols that were implemented by the government. Many of them also expressed that their income became lower during the pandemic because of the low production of goods since there are less farmers

- Background: Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common articular disease in developed countries and the leading cause of chronic disability, mostly knee OA. It’s chronic nature results in significant physical and psychological burden, including the development of depressive symptoms. In this present study we aimed to investigate factors related to the development of depressive symptoms in individuals with knee OA. 120 knee OA outpatients were obtained consecutively in this cross sectional study. Multiple linear regression was then used to assess relationships of independent risk factors to depressive symptoms severity measured with Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9). The final multivariate result in the model that fit the factors associated with depression in knee OA patients were income with p value = 0.012 and r value = -0.152, employment with p < 0.001 and r value = -0.473, BMI with p value < 0.001 and r value = 0.233 were found to contribute to depressive symptom scores for as much as 73.5%. Income, employment, and BMI are independent factors related to depressive score.

: Very little has been achieved in terms of poverty reduction, despite the many Self-Help groups that have been formed and operate in Bondo Sub-County due to financial constraints that affect many women. Thus, the study explored the influence of access to credit on reduction of poverty among women groups in Bondo sub-county. The study used a descriptive survey research design using 150 women groups in Bondo Sub-county. Through stratified random sampling, the groups were selected from the five wards in the sub-county. Quantitative data was collected using questionnaires and interviews. Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 24.0 was used for data analysis. The study also found that there was a significant association between collateral and poverty reduction since the computed p value of 0.011 is less than 0.05 at 95% confidence level. The study recommends that stakeholders such as government and financial institutions make it easier for women to access credit. Finally, the study recommends that the women groups find other avenues of investment so as to diversify their operations.

: The developing nations around the world have increased their efforts and rechanneled resources to gain some degree of development objective, in particular, the reduction of poverty at the same time promoting investment in human capital. In Dhusamareb of Somalia, as it happens elsewhere in Somalia and other developing nations, women are usually assigned the duty to take care of extended families, maintain the household under dire conditions, and stock supplies. In most cases, it is the Women who are left behind to feed themselves and their families including the children and the old at times of crisis and scarcity. In most cases, women find themselves with a burden. Therefore, the study examined the influence of NGO-supported cash transfer programs on poverty reduction among Women in Dhusamareb, Galmudug State, Somalia. This study collected data using in-depth interviews and questionnaires. Quantitative data was analyzed data were then presented in frequency tables, bar graphs and pie charts. Narrative and creation of themes was used in the analysis of qualitative data. the women were to be agents of change in their families and community at large. The program provided them with opportunities to train in business. The business training gave them skills in tailoring, hairdressing and business management. The study recommends that other programs should accompany cash transfers, for instance, beneficiaries on unconditional cash transfer should move to the next step of having some conditions for cash transfer as they gain substantial stability.

: Background: During pregnancy, SARS Coronavirus 2 infection may cause an abnormal development of the placenta, thus influencing maternal and fetal outcomes. Placental pathology in the setting of maternal SARS-CoV-2 infection remains a topic of great interest because the raising concern for vertical transmission and earlier studies have shown mixed results Objective: We present series of 28 placentas of SARS-CoV-2 positive women who had been diagnosed by RT PCR in Haji Adam Malik General Hospital as one major goverment hospital for COVID-19 management in Medan, North Sumatera, Indonesia from February-August 2021. Methods: All placentas were microscopically examined with H&E-stained sections, which usually included full-thickness sections that included fetal and maternal surfaces and one section with two umbilical cord sections and membrane rolls. Results: Pathologic findings were divided into maternal vascular malperfusion, fetal vascular malperfusion, chronic inflammatory lesions, amniotic fluid infection sequence, increased perivillous fibrin, intervillous thrombi, increased subchorionic fibrin, meconium-laden macrophages within fetal membranes, and chorangiosis. Mostly, the placentas showed prominent signs of increased fibrin deposition in perivillous and intervillous thrombus (92,9 % and 82,1%), but not many showed lymphohistiocytic villitis (10,7%) respectively, as reported in other studies. Conclusions: Limited conclusions can be drawn about the effect of maternal SARS-CoV-2 infection on placental pathology. Based on the data in this study, we report general histopathological features, which include maternal vascular malperfusion, fetal vascular malperfusion, inflammation and thrombus in placentas with COVID-19 infection. A prospective cohort study with a larger sample population with thorough placental examination is needed to understand the impact of SARS-CoV-2 on the placenta, pregnancy and possible fetal sequelae.
背景:在妊娠期间,SARS冠状病毒2感染可导致胎盘发育异常,从而影响母体和胎儿的结局。在母体感染SARS-CoV-2的情况下,胎盘病理学仍然是一个非常有趣的话题,因为对垂直传播的关注日益增加,早期的研究显示了不同的结果。目的:我们在2021年2月至8月期间,在印度尼西亚北苏门答腊棉兰的哈吉亚当马利克综合医院(Haji Adam Malik General Hospital)通过RT - PCR诊断出SARS-CoV-2阳性妇女的28个胎盘。方法:采用h&e染色切片对所有胎盘进行显微镜检查,通常包括包括胎儿和母体表面的全层切片,以及一个包含两个脐带切片和膜卷的切片。结果:病理表现分为母体血管灌注不良、胎儿血管灌注不良、慢性炎性病变、羊水感染顺序、绒毛周围纤维蛋白增高、绒毛间血栓、绒毛膜下纤维蛋白增高、胎膜内载胎粪巨噬细胞增多、绒毛膜增生。大多数情况下,胎盘表现出明显的纤维蛋白沉积增加的迹象,绒毛周围和绒毛间血栓(92.9%和82.1%),但并不多表现为淋巴组织细胞性绒毛炎(10.7%),其他研究报道。结论:母体感染SARS-CoV-2对胎盘病理的影响尚不明确。根据本研究的数据,我们报告了COVID-19感染胎盘的一般组织病理学特征,包括母体血管灌注不良、胎儿血管灌注不良、炎症和血栓。为了了解SARS-CoV-2对胎盘、妊娠和可能的胎儿后遗症的影响,需要在更大样本人群中进行前瞻性队列研究,并进行彻底的胎盘检查。

Placental pathology in the setting of maternal SARS-CoV-2 infection remains a topic of great interest because the raising concern for vertical transmission and earlier studies have shown mixed results Objective: We present series of 28 placentas of SARS-CoV-2 positive women who had been diagnosed by RT PCR in Haji Adam Malik General Hospital as one major goverment hospital for COVID-19 management in Medan, North Sumatera, Indonesia from February-August 2021. Methods: All placentas were microscopically examined with H&E-stained sections, which usually included full-thickness sections that included fetal and maternal surfaces and one section with two umbilical cord sections and membrane rolls. Results: Pathologic findings were divided into maternal vascular malperfusion, fetal vascular malperfusion, chronic inflammatory lesions, amniotic fluid infection sequence, increased perivillous fibrin, intervillous thrombi, increased subchorionic fibrin, meconium-laden macrophages within fetal membranes, and chorangiosis. Mostly, the placentas showed prominent signs of increased fibrin deposition in perivillous and intervillous thrombus (92,9 % and 82,1%), but not many showed lymphohistiocytic villitis (10,7%) respectively, as reported in other studies. Conclusions: Limited conclusions can be drawn about the effect of maternal SARS-CoV-2 infection on placental pathology. Based on the data in this study, we report general histopathological features, which include maternal vascular malperfusion, fetal vascular malperfusion, inflammation and thrombus in placentas with COVID-19 infection. A prospective cohort study with a larger sample population with thorough placental examination is needed to understand the impact of SARS-CoV-2 on the placenta, pregnancy and possible fetal sequelae.","PeriodicalId":14290,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Scientific and Research Publications (IJSRP)","volume":"34 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81030983","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
