Exploring smallholder farmers’ access and participation in the Home Grown School Feeding Programme in selected counties of Kenya by Joyce Kamau, Collins Okoyo, Collins Okoyo, Tabitha Kanyui, Charles Mwandawiro, Samrat Singh, Lesley Drake

“…IntroductionSmallholder farmers (SHFs) produce 80% of the total agricultural output in Kenya. The Home Grown School Feeding Programme (HGSFP) was designed to address short-term hunger among primary school children from food-insecure households, enhancing access to primary education while providing a market to SHFs through local procurement of food for schools. …”

Energy-Accuracy Trade-Offs for Resistive In-Memory Computing Architectures by Saion K. Roy, Naresh R. Shanbhag

“…We further analyze the fundamental limits on the SNDR of magnetoresistive random access memory (MRAM-), resistive random access memory (ReRAM-), and ferroelectric field effect transistor (FeFET)-based IMCs employing parameter variation and noise models that were validated against measured results from a recent MRAM-based IMC prototype in a 22 nm process. At high-output signal magnitude, we can find that the maximum achievable SNDR is limited by the pre-analog-to-digital-converter (ADC) array nonidealities, such as the conductance variations (CVs), parasitic resistances, and current mirror mismatch (MM), whereas the ADC thermal (AT) noise limits the SNDR at small signal magnitudes. …”

Maladie, médecine et migration au prisme de l’écriture migrante sino-française: une contribution à la médecine transculturelle? by Julia Pröll

“…Ce sont en particulier les parcours biculturels et bilingues des auteurs mentionnés qui leur permettent d’évoquer, et souvent aussi de croiser de façon productive, différentes conceptions de la maladie, y compris son étiologie, ses symptômes et son traitement – un « double regard » entraînant, dans le meilleur des cas, une relativisation salutaire de toute « grande narration » médicale qui se veut hégémonique. …”

Importance of early use of tolvaptan in hyponatremic acutely decompensated heart failure patients, a retrospective study by Rarsari Soerarso, Emir Yonas, Silfi Pauline Sirait, Dian Yaniarti Hasanah, Sunu Budhi Raharjo, Bambang Budi Siswanto, Maarten J. Cramer, Pim van der Harst, Marish I. F. J. Oerlemans

“…Abstract Background Hyponatremia is one of the complicating findings in acute decompensated heart failure. Decrease in cardiac output and systemic blood pressure triggers activation of renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system, antidiuretic hormone, and norepinephrine due to the perceived hypovolemia. …”
