▼ Despite the high prevalence of breastfeeding (98%) in Zambia, the majority of infants are not fed in compliance with WHO/UNICEF recommendation. The recommendation calls for a period of exclusive breastfeeding for six months and introduction of complementary foods between six and nine months while continuing with breastfeeding up to two years. Only 40% of infants less than six months of age are exclusively breastfed in Zambia (Central Statistical Office et al, 2002).The objective of the study was to determine whether HIV positive women do provide mixed feeding to their infants contrary to WHO/UNICEF recommendation. A total of 125 HIV positive mothers and 125 HIV negative mothers were recruited for the study. Both groups were identified from the PMTCT register at Mtendere Health Centre in Lusaka using simple random sampling. The mothers were identified as they came for postnatal clinic and children’s clinic. A structured questionnaire was used to interview the respondents.The study revealed that mixed feeding is practiced by both HIV positive mothers and HIV negative mothers (p<0.001). 35.2% of HIV positive mothers and 2.4% of HIV negative mothers provided pre lacteal feeds in form of water or glucose to their infants in the first one hour of birth. Foods such as cereal, porridge, juices, vegetables and fruits were introduced to infants as early as in the first month by both HIV positive and HIV negative mothers.The study revealed that mixed feeding is practiced by HIV positive mothers and starts soon after delivery. The tendency to mixed feeding highlights the importance of strengthening infant feeding counselling and follow up support to HIV positive mothers.

▼ Against a background of a high HIV prevalence among pregnant women and an absence of interventions to curb HIV transmission to children associated with high HIV infant and childhood mortality and morbidity in Africa, this study was undertaken to determine the social factors that influence infant feeding practices among HIV positive women in Kasama, Northern Province.This was a cross-sectional study and was descriptive in nature. The study was conducted in Northern Province, Kasama District at 2 clinics- the Kasama Urban clinic and the Location clinic. The study recruited HIV positive mothers under the MCH programs in Kasama from the 2 clinics. 196 pregnant mothers were systematically random sampled for the study from the two clinics.Quantitative data were analyzed using SPSS. Data were presented in the form of tables and graphs with explanatory narratives in accordance with the study objectives and hypothesis. The Chi-square statistics was used to test possible relationships between the independent and dependent variables at the 5% level of significance.Results of the study showed that most mothers were exclusively breastfeeding as they should. Only 11% of the HIV positive mothers used mixed feeding on their infants. Current infant feeding practices was found not to be associated (p>0.05) with most of the demographic variables: maternal age, marital status of mother, level of education and employment status of mother, and religion. Neither were any of the economic factors associated with infant feeding practices. However, mothers who reported that they had received information about breast feeding practices in relation to MTC where more likely to breast feed their children (p< 0.05). Nurses also were found to influence mother’s choice of infant feeding practices (p< 0.05).The study concludes that infant feeding practices is affected by certain demographic and maternal factors. The relationship between maternal age and current feeding practices is not statistically significant, though the percentage of mothers who chose to exclusively breastfeed increased with age.

▼ Preintervention Knowledge, Attitudes and Practices with respect to breastfeeding among Healthworkers from Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at the University Teaching Hospital (UTH) and mothers with babies admitted to NICU was carried out.
The Healthworkers and mothers were given questionnaires to answer on Knowledge, Attitudes and Practices regarding breastfeeding. A two weeks' Lactation Management Course for the Healthworkers was conducted. After 7 weeks the same questionnaires were given to the Healthworkers and a different group of mothers whose babies were admitted in NICU during this period.There was improvement in the Know!edge, Attitudes and Practices of Healthworkers after being trained. This improvement was reflected in the equally improved Knowledge, Attitudes and
Practices of the new group of mothers who were in contact with trained Healthworkers.
NICU practices not supporting breastfeeding have been changed, mothers are now allowed m NICU to breastfeed or feed their babies expressed breastmilk by cup and spoon. No bottles are used. There is also reduced use of formula milk which is given only to those babies whom mothers are not available. Recommendations have been made regarding what should be done next.

▼ Abstract
Background Malnutrition remains one of the most common causes of morbidity and mortality
among children throughout the world. It is responsible about 60% cause of death in under age of
5 years
Objective To assess knowledge, attitude and practice (KAP) of mothers
feeding their under five
children in a rural community Kellecha Tikka Kebele, of Sebeta Awas district, Surrounding
Finfine special Zone, Oromia Region, 2014 G.C
Methods and Materials: - A cross-sectional study design was conducted on 597 mothers to
determine the level of knowledge, attitude and practice and their relation with socio-economic
demographic characteristic in Kellecha Tikka Kebele. The data was manipulated and analyzed by
using Epi.info version 3.4.3 and SPSS version 21.0.
Result: - from the total of 597 mothers, 339 (56.8%) had no sufficient knowledge about child
feeding and 258 (43.2%) had sufficient knowledge about child
feeding. From the total of 597,
585 (98%) gave food or liquid before six months age and only 12 (2%) had not been given food
or liquid. The mother had good practice 271 (45.5%) and poor practice 327 (54.6%) as well as
good attitude 279 (46.6%) and poor attitude were 318 (53.3%). In multivariate analysis the
mother who can read and write was less likely good practice than that learnt secondary school
and above. The protestant followers had best practice towards child
feeding than other religion
followers
Conclusion:- Generally the study showed that from the total of 597, 585 (98%) gave food or
liquid before six months age and only 12 (2%) had not been given food or liquid. From 585 that
gave liquid or fluid before six months of age 55 (9%) gave the water, 274 (47%) gave the butter,
235 (40%) gave the milk and 26 (4%) other food or liquid like tenadam for their children before
ix
six months of age. This low level of knowledge (56.8%) about child
feeding and not know the
time of EBF resulted that the study took place in the rural area and affected by another sociodemographic
characteristics. From this result most of the mother reported as they knew EBF but
when asked did they give food or fluid before six months of age 585 (98%) did that. The mother
who can read and write was less likely good practice than that learnt secondary school and above.
The protestant followers had best practice towards child
feeding than other religion followers.

▼ The structure, function, and tissue specific expression profiles of neuropeptides involved in regulating eating behaviour are well researched in mammals, the corresponding literature on fish homologs however is scarce. The work presented here endeavoured to characterise the full coding sequences of peptide homologs in zebrafish as well as the expression profiles of said peptides under different energy states to elucidate their function in fish. Zebrafish were chosen as a model to represent fish species as they are amenable to molecular study. Conducting a literature and TBLASTn search, genes were identified in zebrafish that are known to be involved in affecting appetite and satiety in other vertebrates. Comparison of the translated sequences of these genes against fish and other vertebrates provided confidence in the identity of AGRP, GHRL, POMCb, CART1, CART3, and CART4 and all genes showed homology against mammalian transcripts through structural and syntenic comparison. RACE synthesis of the full coding sequence of these genes was attempted from isolated brain mRNA but only resulted in the production of a partial 3’ sequence for CART1 and CART4 which showed high identity against the predicted nucleotide but not the translated sequence. To observe the functional properties of a suite of genes, a qPCR analysis of the expression profiles of AGRP, GHRL, POMCa, POMCb, CART1, CART2, CART3, CART4, OXT, NPY, and AVPwas undertaken in 24 hour fasted zebrafish. The results were comparable to both other fish and mammals as AGRP was orexigenically upregulated in fasted zebrafish, while POMCb and OXT were anorexigenically downregulated. This is the first time that an expression study has been conducted across all of these genes together in a single species and, while the results are preliminary, they outline that the simultaneous analysis of the many genes thought to be involved in eating behaviour is a viable approach to discovering the functional roles of the range of genes, their interaction with each other, and how that relates to eating behaviour and provides some confidence in use of zebrafish as a model to highlight this.

▼ Exclusive Breast Feeding practice which is the best feeding practice for infants aged from birth to six (6) months, has been facing a lot of challenges. Although information on exclusive breast feeding was being given to mothers during Antenatal, Postnatal and children’s clinic, the practice still remained a challenge due to failure by mothers to sustain the practice. The purpose of this study was to establish levels of exclusive breast feeding practice among breast feeding mothers who had infants aged from birth to six months in Luangwa, a rural district of Lusaka Province. A descriptive cross section study design was used and a sample of 171 breast feeding mothers with infants aged from birth to six months, were randomly selected from five health facilities. The five facilities were randomly selected. The respondents were interviewed using a semi-structured interview schedule and to complement data from questionnaires, five focus group discussions were conducted one at each study site. Each group had seven participants. A focus group guide was used to facilitate the discussion. Quantitative data was analysed using SPSS computer software package version 16. The Fishers Exact test was used to test the association between the dependent and independent variables. Qualitative data from the focus group discussions were analysed using content analysis with the help of qualitative research computer software Nvivo. The study revealed that the prevalence of exclusive breast feeding practice was at 104 (61%). Majority of the respondents 116 (67.8%) started breast feeding within an hour of the infant’s birth. However, during the first week of the infant’s life, other foods such as plain water or glucose, formula milk and cereals or porridge were given to the infants. Most of the respondents 71 (41.5%) indicated that insufficient milk was the reason for having resorted to mixed feeding. During focus group discussions, it was revealed that infants cried due to hunger and that forced mothers to introduce other foods. The group also revealed that early introduction of other foods was a common practice. At the age of 5-6 months only 10 (16%) of the infants were exclusively breast fed. However, the study showed that there was an association between exclusive breast feeding and the age of an infant (p value = 0.000). The level of education was low among the respondents as most respondents 103 (60%) had only attained primary school education. During the focus group discussions some male participants stated that some mothers did not comprehend the infant feeding information given at the health facilities hence did not adhere to the practice. However, education level was not significantly (p value = 0.065) associated with exclusive breast feeding. In relation to knowledge on the benefits of breast feeding, majority 107 (62.6%) of the respondents were aware that breast milk had all the nutrients that an infant required in the first six months of its life. Out of the 107, 43 (40%) gave their infants other foods besides breast milk. During…

▼ Concerns about
feeding are among the most common behavioral problems reported to health care professionals, with approximately 24-45% of parents reporting this issue. Disruptions in
feeding are associated with a number of negative behavioral and developmental outcomes in children, and may to lead to disruptive mealtime behavior, picky eating, less-than-optimal growth, and obesity. The Satter
Feeding Dynamics Model (fdSatter) has been proposed to guide parents and professionals in optimizing the
feeding relationship between parent and child. fdSatter is an authoritative model that proposes that parents guide the
feeding process based on cues coming from the child, and as a result, the child will be competent with eating attitudes, food regulation and growth, food acceptance, and mealtime behavior. Maintaining a division of responsibility in
feeding and trusting a child to grow and eat as intended is suggested to be an effective means of reducing child
feeding problems. To evaluate and develop effective interventions, a tool that can capture the division of responsibility and can identify positive and negative
feeding behaviors is needed. Among existing tools assessing child
feeding, few are validated, and few assess the dynamics between the parent and child in the
feeding relationship. To address this need, a prototype instrument was offered by Satter that addressed parent’s leadership and autonomy roles incumbent in adhering to the division of
feeding responsibility as defined by fdSatter; this measure is the Satter
Feeding Dynamics Inventory (fdSI).
This project summarizes the iterative process of developing and testing the fdSI. Included in this summary are details and findings from 4 early phases and a fifth phase resulting in a version ready for construct validation and intensive psychometric analyses. The fifth phase was accomplished with cognitive interviews of 9 low-income and 5 middle-income parents of preschool aged children to assess comprehension of survey items using response mapping and thematic analysis. Findings revealed low respondent burden of the fdSI and led to revisions of 2 items and the elimination of one item. Eating competence (EC) was examined as a moderator of adherence to fdSatter by comparing fdSI scores to those on the Satter Eating Competence Inventory for Low-Income. Despite the small sample size of the fifth phase of testing, trends were apparent that supported EC as a moderating influence. Eating competent parents were more likely to perceive their child’s eating positively, compared to non-eating competent parents.
Outcomes from the iterative fdSI testing plan supported cognitive testing as an essential step in readying an instrument for the validation and psychometric studies necessary to support its use in intervention assessment. Multi-phase and constant comparative testing have resulted in an instrument ready for validation as a measure of adherence to the division of
feeding responsibilities as defined by fdSatter. Subsequent availability of this valid…

▼ Breast milk is superior and it is the biological norm for nourishing infants. Both early and more recent studies confirm that, exclusive breast fed infants are less likely to suffer from diarrhoea, malnutrition and acute respiratory infection. Early weaning is highly associated with morbidity and mortality due to diarrhoea, ARI and early malnutrition.The purpose of this study was to determine factors contributing to mothers introducing feeds to babies less than six months, in Lusaka.It was a cross-sectional descriptive study conducted in two government clinics and one private clinic, in Lusaka City, and one rural health centre, in Lusaka rural.The Target population were mother-baby pairs. The babies were between the ages of one month and six months.A total sample size of 238 mother-baby pairs, was randomly selected using a standard formula. An interview schedule and a questionnaire, were used to collect data from mothers and nurses, respectively.The questions aimed at eliciting information, on mothers' knowledge, attitude and practices of exclusive breast feeding, baby data on perinatal events, reasons for introducing feeds, intended duration of exclusive breast feeding, and reasons for termination of exclusive breast feeding.Data was analysed using EPI-INFO statistical package. The findings in the study suggest that, premature introduction of feeds to babies in Lusaka, is principally determined by personal characteristics of the mother and is conditioned by her knowledge of, affective responses to breast feeding.
Socio-demographic characteristics such as mother's age, educational attainment, occupation, place of residence and household food income levels, were highly significant as to whether one gave feeds or did not give feeds.Knowledge levels about exclusive breast feeding, are still low and as a result, the exclusive breast feeding rates are low because, only a few mothers practice it.There seems to be a positive attitude towards exclusive breast feeding in these mothers, thereby creating a knowledge, attitude and practice gap.Concern about inadequate milk supply, was the major reason given for introducing feeds and terminating exclusive breast feeding. Majority in this study were poor, and maternal undernutrition could be highly associated with inadequate milk supply.Recommendations have been made in accordance with the findings.

▼ The objective of this study was to investigate the knowledge, attitude and practice of
breast and complementary infant feedings among mothers of Shinasha culture in Bullen
Woreda. The study was undertaken in four kebeles (Metti, Bullen 02, Matta and Addias
Alem) and 80 participants were selected by using convenient sampling as they are
mothers who currently are
feeding (breast and complementary foods) to their infants and
Questionnaire, interview and focus group discussion were used to collect data. This study
employed the combination of both qualitative and quantitative methods. In this mixed
approach the researcher used quantitative methods of data collection as the dominant
and qualitative methods are supplementary. The data were analyzed by using frequency,
mean, percentage, Pearson’s correlation as well as one way ANOVA (one way analysis
of variance). The result of analysis reveals that mothers were not given any information
about infant
feeding before birth of the infant and after birth of the infant mothers got
information about breast and complementary infant
feeding from elder mothers. The
result also indicated that there is no significant difference among mothers on their
knowledge, attitude and practice of breast and complementary infant
feeding on the three
categories of age. Mothers lacked sufficient knowledge about the importance of breast
feeding for breastfeeding mothers and also biased in duration of breastfeeding between
both sexes of their infants. Mothers showed positive attitude about breast
feeding in such
areas as: Self-initiated interest of breast
feeding, enhancement of mother child
interaction through breast
feeding, enjoyable nature of breast
feeding. Regarding the
practices of breastfeeding mothers reported that they give fresh butter as pre-lactal food
before breast milk during the time of birth. Concerning the knowledge of complementary
infant
feeding mothers reported that male infants should start complementary foods
earlier than female infants. Mothers had positive attitudes about complementary infant
feeding, so they reported that early introduction of complementary foods makes their
infants healthy and strong. As far as mothers practices of complementary
feeding is
concerned, mothers practiced providing their infants about two- three times a day.
It is concluded that there is no statistically significant difference among mothers on their
knowledge level, attitude and practices on breast and complementary infant
feeding on
their age groups. Finally it was recommended that all concerned bodies of the
community, health extension workers etc. should take their parts in educating and
creating awareness for mothers about breast and complementary infant
feeding.

▼ Background: Exclusive breast feeding for the first six months of life and appropriate introduction
of complementary feeds is a key determinant of the nutrition status of children.
Objective: To assess the feeding practices among children 6- 24 months of age and its
relationship with their nutritional status at Mbagathi District hospital.
Methodology: We conducted a case control study at the MDH pediatric emergency outpatient
clinic between February and April 2013. Nutritional assessment was done using anthropometry
weight for-height and height-for age; and examined the children for visible severe wasting as
well as the presence of edema. Malnourished children who fulfilled the selection criteria and
those who their parent accepted to participate in the study were consecutively enrolled into the
study. And each case was matched with well-nourished controls of similar age.
Results: A total of 220 children with their mothers were enrolled in the study in which 110 were
cases and 110 were control. A significantly larger proportion of malnourished children (9.4%)
than well nourished children (1.8%) were given pre-lacteal feeds (p=0.036; χ2-test. There was a
trend toward statistical significance in time breastfeeding was initiated between cases and
controls (p=0.07; χ2-test).Slightly higher proportional (80%) of control than cases (75%) were
initiated on breastfeeding in the first one hour. A significantly higher proportion (90%) of
mothers of children with normal nutritional status than (78%) mothers of malnourished children
exclusively breastfed their children for longer periods (p=0.001; χ2-test).Malnourished children
were introduced to complimentary feeds at a significantly lower mean age (3.6±0.8 months)
compared with children with normal nutrition status (3.9±.4 months) (p=0.003; t-test).
Conclusions/recommendations: An inappropriate feeding practice of infant and young children
was associated with worse nutritional status. To reduce childhood malnutrition due emphasis
should be given in improving the practice of parents on appropriate infant and young child
feeding.

▼ Accumulating evidence points to a fundamental connection between sleep and feeding behavior. However, the temporal, genetic, and neuronal architecture that defines these relationships is poorly understood. Drosophila are amenable to high-throughput studies and offer numerous genetic tools which have advanced our understanding of the mechanistic relationships between these behaviors. However, certain features of the sleep-feeding axis have remained elusive, largely due to the separate measurement of sleep and feeding. Here, I develop a system which simultaneously measures sleep and feeding in individual animals by employing high resolution machine vision tracking and micro-controller interface functionality. Using this system, I show that food consumption drives a transient rise in sleep, which depends on food quality, quantity, and timing of a meal. The leucokinin system mediates these effects, particularly in response to protein ingestion. We further use the system to examine sleep homeostasis and demonstrate sleep dependence on energy expenditure and fat-brain communication. Collectively, these findings provide novel insight into the fundamental connections between sleep and feeding behavior.

▼ This thesis investigated the effects of
feeding frequency on plasma appetite-regulating hormones (ghrelin, GIP, GLP-1, leptin, and PYY), insulin, amino acids, and whole blood glucose in adult cats. In addition, activity, energy expenditure and respiratory quotient were assessed. Cats eating once daily had increased postprandial concentrations of amino acids, ghrelin, GIP, GLP-1, insulin, and PYY, whereas leptin and glucose did not differ. Activity was greater in cats consuming four meals. Fasting respiratory quotient was lower in cats eating one meal. Cats fed once daily consumed less food than cats fed more frequently. These results suggest
feeding cats fewer meals over a longer period of time could cause weight loss as cats may be more satiated and are prone to consume less calories when fed fewer meals. Cats fed intermittently could have greater protein synthesis due to greater postprandial concentrations of amino acids and insulin.

▼ This study was carried out to investigate the administration of the School Feeding Programme at two primary schools in Windhoek, Namibia. The study aimed at finding out how administration is being carried out, the attitudes of the teachers towards the School Feeding Programme and the challenges that the schools are facing with the implementation of the programme. In addition, the study looked at how the schools are coping with their challenges and the suggestions they had towards programme improvement.
The study’s research design was a qualitative, descriptive research, using a case study approach. Using purposive sampling, two primary schools were selected out of a population of thirty (30) primary schools in Windhoek that are offering the Namibian School Feeding Programme. At each school, eight teachers were selected using random purposive sampling. In addition, the school principal and focal person at each school formed part of the study.
The main findings from the study show that the implementation document, which is the School Feeding Manual (1997) is not clear nor detailed enough. Schools are not well guided as to what needs to be done, when and by whom. Schools are faced with challenges such as lack or insufficient equipment and utensils to cater for the needs of the learners. The teachers are happy with the benefits of NSFP but they have expressed concern over issues such as time spent of NSFP activities, programme funding, learners’ negative attitude towards school meals and lack of commitment to the programme by the community.

▼ Objectives: The objectives of this study were to describe the rates of and factors associated with exclusive breastfeeding (XBR), exclusive breast
feeding + breast and bottle-
feeding (Ever BR), and of exclusive bottle-
feeding (XBOT) from 1925-1964 among mothers of the nurse daughters in the Nurses’ Health Cohort Studies. Methods: The Nurses' Maternal Cohort Study (N= 39,743) is a retrospective cohort of the mothers of the nurse daughters who completed a questionnaire on reproductive characteristics and infant
feeding. Multiple logistic regression analysis was used to estimate the adjusted odds ratios for Ever BR and XBR compared to XBOT by birth year and other covariates. Results: Ever BR rates steadily declined from 80% in the Great Depression to 37% in 1964; similarly XBR rates declined from 41% to 10%, respectively. Factors positively associated with Ever BR included: any maternal college education compared to <12 years of education and delivering a low or high compared to normal birth weight nurse daughter. Factors negatively associated with Ever BR were: smoking during pregnancy, C-section delivery, prematurity, birth orders 2+, and nurse daughters born 1940-1964. Factors differed by birth cohort, e.g. maternal education was positively associated with XBR only from 1950-64. Among the XBOT, the majority used canned evaporated milk until 1959 and then switched to commercial infant formula. Conclusions: This study documents declining rates of XBR and factors influencing infant
feeding choice from 1925-1964, with results varying by birth cohort that differ from current determinants.

▼ Using data from 131 first-time parents with children between six and 12 months, this study applies the theory of planned behavior (Ajzen, 1991) to examine the influence parents’ attitudes, subjective norms, perceived behavioral control, and
intentions have on the timing and introduction of complementary foods. Path analysis results indicated that parents’ attitudes influenced infant feeding behavior at six months old. Contrary to previous studies, additional analyses indicated parents
obtain most of their infant feeding information from a doctor or other health professional and that a majority of parents are in fact introducing complementary foods at the age recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics. Strengths and limitations
of the present study are discussed, and directions for future research are presented.

▼ This study focused on a small gastropoda, Cerithium zonatum, found in seagrass meadow at Gui Wan Bi, Green Island, Taiwan. Because this species is high in density in the seagrass meadow and it uses its specific radular to scrap the substrate and emits
a particular sound, we can use this acoustic clue to study its
feeding activity. C.zonatum samples were collected from Gu Wan Bi, and Zi-Ping Green Island between November to December 2007,March to June 2008, and April to July 2009. It distributes in three habitats (i.e. seagrassãmacro algaeãrubble) and scrapping sounds were recorded while they were in these habitats. Light and water temperature were
treated as experimented factors and their influence on the
feeding frequency was deciphered. I also compared individuals of different sizes to find out the differences in
feeding frequency between them. SEM was used to observe the radular of C. zonatum. According to the results, I infer that C. zonatum might prefer seagrass meadow as its must suitable microhabitat where
feeding activity was higher. Sunlight and high water temperature might lead to increases in
feeding activity, but darkness
and low water temperature showed opposite effect; it stopped
feeding when water temperature had dropped to 17â. Scrap frequency of small individuals was higher than larger ones, and their radular were similar in their morphology. I infer that small
ones invest more time and energy in
feeding in order to grow. Scrapping sound of C.zonatum was compared to Nerita albicilla; there were pulses in the sound of N.albicilla than C. zonatum. It is inferred that this difference might be due to the difference between their radular morphology. I consider that using an bioacoustic approach to study the
feeding activity of small gastropoda is feasible.

▼ Knowledge is the foundation for practice. Most nutrition education programmes operate on the premise that nutritional knowledge of mothers can have an impact on the nutritional status of their children. Literature review revealed that most mothers who had access to the nutrition education especially to breastfeeding education showed an improvement in their children's nutritional status due to improved feeding practice. Health education programmes on breastfeeding has been implemented in Zambia since the last one decade using the health workers as the largest source to educate mothers. But the rapidly rising graphs of infant morbidity and mortality due to diseases of infancy preventable with successful breastfeeding suggest that the health education in the antenatal clinics might be inadequate.This study looked at the adequacy of health education on breastfeeding in the antenatal clinics of the Lusaka Urban District.A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted from 1st Feb. to 30th April 2000 to collect necessary data for the study. Information tools were antenatal mothers and antenatal cards. Data was entered into computer using Epi-Info 6 and analysed. A sample of 300 mothers from ten Lusaka Urban District clinics was drawn and data was collected using a structured interview schedule containing both close-ended and open-ended questions. Knowledge that mothers gained after health education in the antenatal clinics was the indicator of success.The first 30 mothers from each clinic with more than one antenatal visit were included in the study. Questions were asked with the help of a trained research assistant. The main findings were:70% of the mothers were aged between 20-30 years, 93% were married and 73% were housewives. 50.7% of mothers had primary education. 79% visited the antenatal clinic for five or less than five times and 78% belonged to high density areas. Adequate health education on breastfeeding was being given to only 15% of mothers as indicated by their adequate knowledge on breastfeeding acquired during antenatal visits. General information on breastfeeding was the most commonly discussed topic (42% mothers showed adequate knowledge). The least discussed topic was the breast conditions hindering successful breastfeeding (2% mothers had adequate knowledge). The mothers were getting wrong information on certain aspects of breastfeeding such as duration of exclusive breastfeeding, time to wean and mother to child transmission of HIV. Health education on breastfeeding in the Baby Friendly clinics was also inadequate although the knowledge of mothers on breastfeeding attending Baby Friendly clinics was better than those attending non-Baby Friendly clinics. 22% of mothers from Baby Friendly clinics had adequate knowledge on breastfeeding while the same result was shown by only S% of mothers attending non-Baby Friendly clinics. There was strong association between the outcome (adequacy of health education on breastfeeding) and attending Baby Friendly clinics. This was proved by P value of 0.018 rejecting…

▼ Community Based Nutrition (CBN) began implementation in Ethiopia in 2009 in four regions with the objective of improving maternal and child nutrition. Among other interven-tions, CBN scaled up behavior change communication (BCC) to promote household practices and behaviors known to be associated with improved child nutrition. Nutrition BCC was pri-marily delivered through a cadre of Voluntary Community Health Workers (VCHWs). Program exposure was measured using household reports of contact with VCHWs for nutrition BCC. This quasi-experimental study used data collected from two rounds of household surveys be-fore and after program implementation. The design of this study used the natural variation in CBN implementation to allow post hoc categorization of communities into high/low program intensity groups. This enabled an evaluation of the differences in nutrition outcomes associated with the different categories of program intensity that were observed in the sample. Community-level program intensity was measured using the percentage of households reporting VCHW exposure in each community, dichotomized into high or low at the sample mean.
We found evidence of a scale up in CBN over the two survey rounds: Mean households reporting exposure to a VCHW in the previous six months increased significantly, as did the mean households in communities with high VCHW intensity. The association between selected nutrition behavior outcomes and the program was evaluated using three approaches: (i) an examination of the association between cluster change in the outcomes and community intensity of Volunteer Community Health Workers (VCHWs); (ii) examination of the association be-tween individual-level outcomes and community intensity of VCHWs; and (iii) examination of the association between the outcomes behaviors and household exposure to VCHWs.
We found plausible evidence that CBN scale up was associated with greater dietary di-versity and more women eating the same or more in pregnancy. We also found that living in a higher VCHW intensity community or having exposure to VCHWs was associated with more women receiving IFA in pregnancy, but that this association was not modified by the survey round. We did not find consistent evidence that that the increases in VCHW intensity or expo-sure were associated with improvements in colostrum, hand washing, or minimum meal frequency. These results imply that community-based programs of this intensity can bring about change in nutrition behaviors linked to improved nutrition.

▼ An exploratory study was undertaken for the purpose of identifying the mother and infant behaviors during the feeding-eating process, to produce a tool for recording such behavior, and to obtain information to serve as a basis for predicting which bottle feeding mothers will need outside assistance to successfully caring for their newborn infants. The sample included six primiparas, one of who was unwed, and multiparas. The mothers and infants were observed twice daily during their hospital stay beginning the first post-partum day and once at home. The total minutes of observation for the entire sample was 1058; the range of total observation lengths for single mother-infant pairs was 56 minutes for the shortest period and 124 minutes for the longest. The sample included two mothers with previous spontaneous abortions. One mother had aborted three times and the other mother had aborted once. The number of previous abortions correlated with more items than any other variable. There were positive correlations with the touching categories of fingering and no contact (P < 0.01) indicating the lack of contact the mother had with her baby. The care category of changing the diaper had a positive correlation (P > 0.01) indicating that the mother spent a relatively large amount of time during the feeding period in this activity. Holding the bottle had a negative correlation significant at the 0.001 level; thus the mother with previous abortions tended to prop the bottle. During ht observations the mother with three previous abortions was the only one who propped the bottle for long periods of time. Mothers with previous abortions perceived their infants as crying much of the time (P < .0.001); and stated they were uncomfortable during the observations periods (P < 0.001). The mother’s response to the baby’s crying and her secondary efforts to comfort the baby were both negatively correlated at the 0.05 level of significance, indicating that the mother used minimal levels of care to comfort the baby. The study was too small to draw any decisive conclusion. However, the mother’s contact with her infant, per perception of the amount of the infant crying, her method of handling the bottle, her initial and secondary responses to the infant’s crying and her comfort during the feeding observations are areas which should provide fruitful areas for investigation in the future.

▼ The microbial contamination rate was compared for parenteral nutrition solutions prepared by patients for home use and by pharmacy personnel for inpatient use. The methodology was divided into three phases. Phase I validated the Ivex[superscript R]-2 0.22 micron inline filter as a tool for microbiological testing in 5% dextrose injections. Phase II tested a new method of determining microbial contamination of total parenteral nutrition (TPN) solutions. Phase III compared inpatient and home TPN microbial contamination rates using the methodology validated in Phase II. In Phase I, test organisms were Candida albicans, Escherichia coli, Enterobacter cloacae, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Proteus vulgaris, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, and Streptococcus pyogenes. All contaminated 5% dextrose injections showed visual turbidity within 48 hours. Identification of contaminating organisms by subculturing the inoculum of each filter was successful. Nine TPN solutions were inoculated with test organisms using the methods in Phase I. All contaminated TPN solutions showed visual turbidity after 96 hours. Subcultures verified the identity of each test organism. One hundred samples from the TPN solutions were collected randomly and aseptically mixed with Tryptic Soy Broth during the six month Phase III study period. Six patients and two hospitals participated in the study. None of the 44 home parenteral nutrition samples and none of the 56 inpatient TPN samples had any visible turbidity on macroscopic examination. Subcultures of each sample on blood agar were negative for microbial growth. This methodology offers a means to establish contamination rates of home parenteral nutrition solutions and a method to monitor patient aseptic technique at home.

▼ In broiler chickens, hepatic lipid metabolism plays a significant role in whole body and muscle fatty acid (FA) incorporation. Flax seed is a rich source of α-linolenic acid and can be used to increase n-3 FA in poultry meat. Previous studies have shown that flax seed in combination with carbohydrase enzymes in broiler diets enhances long chain (LC) n-3 FA in hepatic tissue. Three experiments were conducted to evaluate the effect of flax seed and carbohydrase enzyme addition on production performance, total tract lipid digestibility, hepatic fatty acid composition, liver lipid class distribution and lipid metabolism in broiler chickens.
In Experiment 1, broiler chicks were placed in individual cages and fed isocaloric, isonitrogenous corn-soy diets: Control, Flax (10% flax), and Flax+E (Flax+0.05% enzyme). The diets were fed for a period of 42 days. Total tract digestibility of lipids and FA were assessed from day 19 to 21 of growth. There was no effect of diet on production performance characteristics, including final body weight (BW) or yield of cut-up parts. Flax-based diets reduced total tract lipid digestibility (p<0.001), increased excreta dry matter and total lipids compared to Control (p<0.05). Addition of enzyme led to an increase in digestibility of n-3 FA when compared to Flax (p<0.001). Total lipids in the liver tissue was higher in Flax-fed birds (p=0.044). Liver tissue of Flax and Flax+E
were enriched with n-3 FA along with a reduction in n-6 FA (p<0.05) compared to Control. Hepatic tissue of Flax+E exhibited higher monounsaturated FA compared to Flax and Control (p<0.05).
In Experiment 2, tissue (heart, cardiac) was collected from broiler chicks raised in floor pens and fed isocaloric, isonitrogenous corn-soy diets: Control, Flax (15% flax), and Flax+E (Flax+0.05% enzyme). The diets were fed for a period of 35 days. Hepatic and cardiac tissue lipids were subjected to triglyceride (TAG) analysis. Lipid classes (TAG; phosphatidylcholine, PC; phosphatidylethanolamine, PE) from hepatic crude lipid extract were separated and subjected to FA analysis. TAG was lowest in hepatic tissue of Flax and Flax+E compared to Control (p=0.001). Flax+E TAG was observed to incorporate significantly lower total saturated FA and increased monounsaturated FA compared to Control. Total n-3 FA were greater in all lipid classes in Flax+E compared to both Flax and Control (p<0.05). A 3-fold and 2-fold increases in LC n-3 FA was observed in PE and PC, respectively of Flax+E compared to Control.
In Experiment 3, liver tissue collected from Experiment 1 were subjected to lipid metabolism related gene expression studies. Expression of peroxisomal acyl-CoA oxidase 1 (ACOX1), acyl-CoA synthase long-chain family member 1 (ACSL1), and carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1 A (CPT1A) was up-regulated in Flax+E birds (p<0.05). Fatty acid synthase (FASN) and acetyl-CoA carboxylase α (ACCA) were significantly reduced in Flax and Flax+E (p<0.05).

▼ This study was motivated by a desire for a deeper understanding of why Filipino infants are undernourished so early in their lives, and what might be done to prevent this. Data from an urban poor Philippine community was used to conduct an analysis of complementary
feeding (CF) practices and behaviors from two different perspectives: the biological and the sociocultural. The underlying structure was provided by a global situation where scientifically-based guidelines for CF had been framed, and a set of indicators, to track progress in adherence to these guidelines and achievement of policy and program goals based on them, were in the process of validation. The over-all objective was to determine how the main CF indicators - Diet Diversity (DD) and Meal Frequency (MF) - would perform in assessing the status of infants 6 - 11 months old , and how this kind of assessment might ultimately be of use. Ethnographic techniques were used to investigate the conceptual agreement between nutritional/public health professionals and mothers of the study infants. Definitional issues about foods and liquids, mothers' perceptions of breastmilk as a unique part of the infant's diet, and local concepts about meals and snacks and breastmilk were identified that have the potential to generate inaccurate communication as well as introduce a problem for DD and MF construction. This study demonstrates why local adaptation is essential. DD is related to growth, but not the individual food groups; adding MF weakens this predictive association. The rationale for DD's use as an indicator of diet quality is its relationship with mean micronutrient adequacy(MMDA). MMDA was found inadequate even at the highest DD score. Intake of fortified products led to an attentuation of the relationship between MMDA and DD. The contributions of each food group to MMDA with each unit increase in DD is the same for breastfed (BF) and nonbreastfed (NBF) infants if breastmilk is counted as a food group. Not accounting for breastmilk's contributions to DD, as is the current practice, is conceptually counter-intuitive and potentially confusing requiring separate cut-offs for the BF and NBF.

▼ Past research indicates that the profitability of a feedlot can be determined by both production and economic factors. This study seeks to evaluate specific production and economic factors in order to deduce which of these factors has the greatest impact on profitability. This study uses economic and production data from feedlots located in the West, Midwest, and Southwest United States. Results of this study indicate that economic factors such as cattle prices and feed costs have the greatest effect on profitability. It was also found that production variables including dry matter intake, dry matter conversion, average daily gain, days on feed, percent of pen that grade quality Prime and Choice, and percent of pen that are dark cutters have a large impact on the variation of profit. Using these factors, production functions were created to determine optimal days on feed and optimal out-weights to maximize profitability. These production functions indicated that as prices increased for corn and feeder cattle, profit decreased and feedlot managers should feed fewer days to minimize profit losses. As the price of fed cattle increased, the results suggest that feedlot managers should feed cattle longer to maximize profit.

▼ Experiments were conducted on ground beef patties as well as pure fat and lean samples manufactured using various sources and production techniques. Differences among 5 cattle types, 3 muscle types, and 3 lean percentages were evaluated for descriptive sensory analysis, fatty acid composition, volatile compound composition, and amino acid composition. Furthermore, an olfactory detection port (ODP) was used while analyzing volatiles to detect odorous compounds. Cattle types, breed and days-on-feed (DOF), evaluated included F1 Wagyu-Angus crosses (450 DOF), long-fed natural Holsteins (350 DOF), short-fed retail Holsteins (250 DOF), long-fed conventional beef (200 DOF), and short-fed beef (90 DOF). Muscles included in this study were Pectorales profundi (high connective tissue), Longissimus dorsi (intermediate connective tissue), and Psoas major (low connective tissue). Lean percentages of ground beef included 90%, 80%, and 70%. All sources were used in combination as a factorial design with 5 cattle types mixed with 3 muscles at 3 different lean percentages (5x3x3) with one treatment consisting of 45 samples with 5 replications (N=225). Trained panelists evaluated ground beef patties from each treatment and replication for 8 different flavor notes, including beefy/brothy, browned/grilled, buttery/beef fat, bloody/metallic, grassy/fishy, earthy/mushroom, nutlike/roasted nut, and livery/organy. Initial analyses consisted of least-square-means to determine differences among breed, muscle, and lean percentage and the interactions among them. These results were significant (P < 0.05) for two-way and three-way interactions; however, no plausible data could be interpreted from the analysis. Further analyses with principal component analysis were used to determine relationships between amino acids, fatty acids, volatiles, and sensory panels with cattle type and muscle separately. Relationships were identified and used to identify certain attributes as possible contributions to beef flavor. Additionally, nonmetric multidimensional scaling was used to access clustering using pairwise comparisons. This showed significant (P < 0.05) differences among cattle type treatments with small variance between samples while muscle treatments were not significant (P > 0.05) and encountered large variance between samples.

▼ Antenna is one of the most critical component for
wireless communication systems. The antenna must also be adaptive
to act as a directional device to optimize or accentuate the
transmitted or received energy in some directions while suppressing
it in others. A good design of the antenna can be very useful in
improving the overall system performance. Microstrip antennas have
many attractive features which has considerable attention for
wireless communication applications. Researchers are engaged in
removing this limitation and many techniques have been proposed for
the design of wideband antennas for wireless communication systems.
Methods for increasing the bandwidth of microstrip antenna are
continuously getting upgraded. Undoubtedly the simplest microstrip
antenna configuration is rectangular microstrip parch antenna.
Hence this investigation deals with rectangular microstrip antenna.
The prototype antenna 2 demonstrates that a broadband rectangular
microstrip patch antenna with narrow slots and parasitic element.
This antenna is excited by an L-probe fed. The bandwidth is
improved by two parallel narrow slots on the main patch and
parasitic patch. The design provides a simulated impedance
bandwidth of 71.33% with gain of 8.6dbi. It has been observed that
additional gap-coupled parasitic element yields considerably wider
impedance bandwidth. This antenna configuration can be used in
applications where wider impedance bandwidths are needed and
variations in the radiation pattern are tolerated. The main patch
is excited by proximity coupling. This antenna provides a dual
frequency response with the simulated impedance bandwidth of 63.35%
and 33.48% with a gain of 6 dBi. The design demonstrates that all
the three antennas overcome the inherent narrow bandwidth of the
conventional microstrip antenna. The main advantages of these
antennas are their improved bandwidth with the acceptable
performance of low return loss, good gain and radiation
characteristics. newline newline newline

▼ ENGLISH ABSTRACT: In South Africa there is a growing interest in the production of bioethanol for blending
with petrol to reduce the environmental impact of fossil fuels. This project
investigated the usage of triticale (small grains) for bioethanol production in the
Western Cape (WC). Triticale is suitable for cultivation on marginal drylands in the
WC. The project assumed that approximately 407 000 tonne/y triticale can be
produced on these lands, allowing for construction and operation of a bioethanoltriticale
plant with a production capacity of 160 Million ℓ ethanol/y.
Alternative process configurations for such a bioethanol facility were investigated in
terms of energy balances and economic viability. This assessment included the
conventional (warm) process, cold-hydrolysis process, warm pre-fractionation
process and a combination of the cold and pre-fractionation processes. The following
influences on the project’s economic feasibly was investigated: A coal versus
biomass fuel source, a combined-heat-and-power (CHP) plant option and external
economic inputs.
The warm process is preferred over the cold process, since it has a higher Internal
Rate of Return (IRR) (3.02% versus 2.40%). The warm process is also preferred
above the warm pre-fractionated process as again the warm process gives a higher
IRR. The pre-fractionated process produced less Dried Distillers Grains and Solubles
(DDGS) containing a higher protein content, which can be sold at a higher price. To
make the pre-fractionation process more profitable, the selling price of the prefractionated
DDGS should be between 2.5-4 times higher than the DDGS without prefractionation.
The use of biomass as fuel source for energy rather than coal is recommended, since
it is less expensive in the WC. Biomass reduces the carbon emissions of the process
by 25%.
The project recommended the use of a CHP plant for onsite steam and electricity
production with sales of surplus electricity to nearby users. The Capital Expenditure
(CAPEX) of the plant increases with 30% when using CHP, but this increase is
mitigated by the selling of excess electricity.
The Basic Fuel Price (BFP) and triticale price predominantly influence the plant’s
profitability. Therefore, the calculations of government subsidy for plant should be
dynamic, and the subsidy should be revised monthly in accordance with the BFP and
triticale price variations.
The current 15% Return on Assets (ROA) subsidy calculations was insufficient to
achieve an expected project IRR of 9.7%, under base case conditions. Therefore, an
alternative subsidy mechanism needs to be investigated, or a significantly lower triticale grain price should be sought.
Using sorghum as the reference grain for a triticale ethanol production plant has a
large effect on IRR. A triticale grain price significantly below SAFEX B4 wheat and
SAFEX sorghum is essential for a bioethanol plant to be economically viable.
Therefore, a detailed market analysis needs to be done for triticale and DDGS prices

▼ The objective of study 1 was to examine the associations between
feeding behavior traits and performance and residual feed intake (RFI) in Brangus steers (N = 84). Steers with low-RFI phenotypes consumed 19% less (P < 0.01) DM intake while BW and ADG were similar compared to high-RFI steers. Steers with low RFI also spent 21% less time at the feed bunk, had 6% fewer (P < 0.05) bunk visit (BV) events, and tended (P = 0.08) to have 11% shorter meal durations per day than steers with high RFI. There were no differences in carcass quality or carcass income, therefore the reduction in feed cost of the low-RFI steers resulted in an increase (P < 0.05) in net revenue of 145 per animal compared to high-RFI steers. Time to bunk (TTB) was quantified on a daily basis as the interval length between feed truck delivery and the first BV event. Time to bunk was weakly correlated (P < 0.05) in a negative manner with ADG (-0.27) and positively correlated with exit velocity (0.25) and F:G ratio (0.25). Steers with low-TTB phenotypes gained 18% faster (P < 0.05), tended (P = 0.08) to have 11% more favorable F:G, and resulted in 88 more net revenue per animal (P < 0.05) than steers with high TTB. Results from this study demonstrated that animals with divergent phenotypes for RFI exhibited distinctive
feeding behavior patterns, suggesting that
feeding behavior traits could be useful as phenotypic biomarkers for RFI. The objective of study 2 was to characterize deviations in DM intake and
feeding behaviors in bulls (N = 231) exhibiting clinical symptoms of bovine respiratory disease (BRD). The bulls were separated into 2 cohort groups based on observed clinical illness (N = 30) or those treated metaphylactically Draxxin (N = 201). A 2-slope broken-line regression model was applied separately on a population basis to the clinically-ill and metaphylaxis-treated cohorts to identify inflection points in DM intake and
feeding behavior traits. The model detected inflection points for DM intake were 6.79 and 3.81 d prior to observed clinical illness or metaphylaxis treatment, respectively. Furthermore, the model detected inflection points for individual
feeding behavior traits that (BV frequency and duration, Head down duration, maximum non-
feeding interval, and non-
feeding interval SD) ranged from 14.19 to 1.32 d prior to observed clinical illness, and from 12.59 to 3.79 d prior to metaphylaxis treatment. To further assess the value of monitoring deviations in
feeding behavior traits as a method for pre-clinical detection of infectious disease individual CUSUM charts were constructed in a daily iterative manner to replicate real-time data analysis. The CUSUM model based on DM intake yielded a high proportion of true positives (87%; model predicted animal as ill) and high model test efficiency (89%) in the clinically-ill cohort, whereas, in the metaphylaxis-treated cohort the proportion of true positives detected (71%) and test efficiency (84%) were slightly lower. While time of model detection prior to observed clinical illness based on DM…

feeding behavior responses to a BVD viral challenge. Nellore-Angus crossbred steers (N =360; initial BW 330 ± 48 kg) were assigned to 1 of 3 vaccine treatments: non-vaccinated (NON), modified live (MLV), and killed (KV). Performance, DMI, and
feeding behavior traits were monitored for 56 d during 4 14-d periods, using a GrowSafe® system. All steers were inoculated intranasally with a BVDV type 1b at the end of the first 14-d period. Exit velocity (EV) was measured on days 0 and 14 and the average was used to compute initial relative exit velocity (REV), which was used to examine the effects of temperament. As expected, DMI, ADG, G:F, and frequency and duration of
feeding events all decreased (P < 0.01) during period 2 following BVD viral challenge and subsequently increased during period 3. Average daily gain and G:F were not affected by vaccine treatment or the VT x period. However, the reduction in DMI following BVD viral challenge was less (P < 0.05) for MLV-vaccinated steers compared to KV- and NON-vaccinated steers.
There were no VT x period interactions for any of the
feeding behavior responses. Vaccine treatment clearly altered
feeding behavior responses, such that MLV-vaccinated steers had greater (P < 0.01) duration of
feeding events, meal frequency, and slower (P < 0.01) eating rates compared to KV- and NON-vaccinated steers. In general, calm steers (initial REV – 1 SD) had lower DMI, ADG, and G:F compared to excitable steers (initial REV + 1 SD). Temperament affected
feeding behavior responses such that, calm steers had greater
feeding duration and slower eating rates compared to excitable steers. With the exception of meal frequency, VT x initial REV interactions indicate there were greater differences between vaccine treatments within calm steers compared to excitable steers. Overall the results of the current study suggest that the MLV vaccine mitigated the negatives effects of the BVD vial challenge to a greater extent than the KV vaccine, which corresponds with previous findings regarding immune responses.
