Good soil management can reduce dietary zinc deficiency in Zimbabwe by Muneta G. Manzeke-Kangara, Edward J. M. Joy, Florence Mtambanengwe, Prosper Chopera, Michael J. Watts, Martin R. Broadley, Paul Mapfumo

“…Universal adoption of optimal fertilizers, to include soil Zn applications and locally available organic leaf litter, is estimated to increase maize grain Zn concentration to 32.4 mg kg−1 and reduce dietary Zn deficiency to 16.7%, potentially saving 9119 DALYs year−1. Potential monetized yield gains from adopting improved soil fertility management range from 49- to 158-fold larger than the potential reduction in DALYs, if the latter are monetized using standard methods. …”

Jargon and Readability in Plain Language Summaries of Health Research: Cross-Sectional Observational Study by Iain A Lang, Angela King, Kate Boddy, Ken Stein, Lauren Asare, Jo Day, Kristin Liabo

“…The biggest differences related to the original proposals: proposals with a PLS in their application that were in the 20% most readable were almost 3 times more likely to have a more readable final PLS (incidence rate ratio 2.88, 95% CI 1.86-4.45). Those with the 20% least jargon in the original application were more than 10 times as likely to have low levels of jargon in the final PLS (incidence rate ratio 13.87, 95% CI 5.17-37.2). …”

Multi-dimensional scaling for space-time transformation to achieve sustainable planning and management of water resource under changing land use pattern by Mohd Sayeed Ul Hasan, Abhishek Kumar Rai, Abul Hasan Momin, Mohammad Amir Khan, Faisal M. Alfaisal, Shamshad Alam, Osamah J. Al-sareji, Ali Majdi

“…Bi-dimensional regression, ALSCAL shows that the model is efficient based on the input data having stress value and RSQ (proportion of variance) of 0.09 and 0.97 with excellent linear fit. The impact assessment of land use transition was obtained in low dimensional space showing that the conversion from sparse vegetation, agriculture, grassland, wetland and forest to settlement has the maximum impact on groundwater and TWSA loss, although the persistent settlement area is also responsible. …”

Mise en oeuvre d’une politique pour une génération sans tabac au Canada : estimation des répercussions à long terme by Doug Coyle

“…La valeur combinée des avantages pour la santé obtenus et des coûts des soins de santé évités dépasserait la somme des recettes fiscales perdues et de la réduction du PIB si la valeur d’une AVAQ était d’au moins 17 147 $. L’utilisation de taux d’actualisation plus élevés et l’inclusion des coûts de santé non liés ont eu peu de répercussions sur l’interprétation des résultats. …”

Risk factors and prediction model construction of urinary tract infection in elderly patients with diabetic nephropathy by Cong Feng, Bo Yang, Linlang Liang

“…[Results] There was no significant difference in the data between disease group 1 and disease group 2 (P>0.05).The gender, course of disease, use of catheter, glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c), urinary albumin/creatinine ratio, estimated glomerular filtration rate(eGFR), and cystatin C(Cys-C) of the combined group and the non combined group in disease group 1 were statistically significant(P<0.05).Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that female, urinary catheter, HbA1c>7.5%, high Cys-C and low eGFR were the risk factors of urinary tract infection in elderly patients with diabetes nephropathy (P<0.05).A nomogram was constructed from the results of multivariate logistic regression analysis.In the ROC curve for validating the nomogram model, the area under the curve was higher in disease group 1 and disease group 2 [0.915 (95%CI: 0.871~0.959) and 0.926 (95%CI: 0.865~0.986)] (P<0.05).The fitting test results showed that the application performance of the prediction model was good in the disease 1 group and the disease 2 group, and the difference between the prediction results and the actual results was not significant (P>0.05).Calibration curve showed that disease group 1 and disease group 2 were almost consistent with the ideal curve in this prediction model. …”
