▼ The purpose of this study is to enhance the understanding of Maasai women’s traditions in the Ngorongoro Conservation Area Authority (NCAA). This study focuses on practices surrounding nutrition during pregnancy as well as the women’s beliefs in respect to how
nutrition affects pregnancy outcomes. The intent of this research is to inform future programming for the Mama Kwanza Clinics by exploring the dynamics of pregnancy among
Maasai women. This qualitative study uses an interpretive description methodology, using
individual interviews and dietary recalls, with a content analysis. One on one interviews with pregnant Maasai women living in the NCAA are the primary data collection method. A second method of data collection includes a diet recall journal where each participant recorded what she had eaten in the 24 hours prior to the interview. Shared insights revealed five themes that reflect Maasai women’s perception respecting nutrition and healthcare during pregnancy, current
dietary patterns, rationale for dietary restrictions, and barriers to seeking professional healthcare. These five themes include: a) Eating less food lets baby come easier; b) Not producing food
means more dependence; c) Working hard harms my baby; d) Knowing what is needed for a good pregnancy; e) Preferring our traditional ways for pregnancy and birth. At a local level,
these findings suggest that, by incorporating education and home visits, community clinics can decrease barriers for Maasai women seeking professional health care during the prenatal care
experience. Inclusion of traditional birth attendants and family members in prenatal care decisions can support cultural safety, thereby encouraging Maasai women to attend prenatal
visits without challenging their beliefs and traditional practices. Earlier prenatal care visits can also increase prevalence and duration of prenatal supplementation, while potentially decreasing micronutrient
deficiencies and birth complications. At a policy level, these findings may inform the need for evaluation of current agriculture and livestock policies, as well as food fortification and supplementation programs.

Εκτίμηση των επιπέδων λιποδιαλυτών βιταμινών στον ορό του αίματος υπερ-παχύσαρκων ασθενών που έχουν υποβληθεί σε βαριατρική επέμβαση τύπου Roux-en-Y γαστρικής παράκαμψης με χολοπαγκρεατική εκτροπή.

▼ Η βαριατρική χειρουργική είναι η μόνη διαδικασία που μπορεί να εφαρμοσθεί προκειμένου να επιτευχθεί μόνιμη απώλεια βάρους στην πλειονότητα των ασθενών με υπερ-νοσογόνο παχυσαρκία (130). Οι βαριατρικές χειρουργικές επεμβάσεις ορίζονται ως περιοριστικές, δυσαπορροφητικές ή περιοριστικές και δυσαπορροφητικές ταυτόχρονα. Οι περιοριστικού τύπου χειρουργικές επεμβάσεις έχουν συνδεθεί με αυξημένα ποσοστά αποτυχίας όσον αφορά στην απώλεια βάρους στους υπερ-παχύσαρκους ασθενείς, με αποτέλεσμα να παρατηρείται προοδευτική αύξηση της εφαρμογής βαριατρικών εγχειρήσεων δυσαπορροφητικού τύπου σε όλο τον κόσμο για αυτήν την υπο-ομάδα παχυσαρκίας (100, 108, 130, 131).
Παρά την απώλεια βάρους που μπορεί να επιτευχθεί με αυτές τις χειρουργικές επεμβάσεις, οι μετεγχειρητικές ανεπάρκειες σε πρωτεΐνη, σίδηρο, βιταμίνες, άλατα και λιποδιαλυτές βιταμίνες αποτελούν σύνηθες φαινόμενο και απαιτούν χορήγηση συμπληρωμάτων προκειμένου να διατηρηθούν σε φυσιολογικά επίπεδα. Οι ανεπάρκειες αυτές οφείλονται στη δυσαπορρόφηση που προκύπτει από τη χειρουργική παράκαμψη τμημάτων του γαστρεντερικού σωλήνα, όπου τα διάφορα διατροφικά συστατικά απορροφούνται (118).
Αν και αναμενόμενες, οι μεταβολικές ανωμαλίες πολύ συχνά δε διαγιγνώσκονται ή υποεκτιμούνται. Τα βιβλιογραφικά δεδομένα που αναφέρονται στις διατροφικές ανεπάρκειες που παρατηρούνται μετά τις βαριατρικές εγχειρήσεις είναι περιορισμένα, και απαρτίζονται από αναφορές σε μεμονωμένα περιστατικά ασθενών (124-126), από επισκοπήσεις αποτελεσμάτων παλαιότερων ερευνών (118, 132) και από περιστασιακές προοπτικές μελέτες (118, 131). Αν και υπάρχουν αρκετές πληροφορίες για διατροφικά συστατικά, όπως είναι η πρωτεϊνη, ο σίδηρος, η βιταμίνη Β12, το φυλλικό οξύ και το ασβέστιο (118, 131), τα στοιχεία που παρατίθενται για τις λιποδιαλυτές βιταμίνες είναι ελάχιστα και ελλιπή. Αυτό οφείλεται σε σημαντικό βαθμό στη δυσκολία απομόνωσης και προσδιορισμού των λιποδιαλυτών βιταμινών από τον ορό του αίματος, διαδικασία αρκετά επίπονη, δαπανηρή και χρονοβόρα. Οι περισσότεροι χειρούργοι προσπαθούν να ελέγξουν με έμμεσο τρόπο τα επίπεδα των λιποδιαλυτών βιταμινών, όπως για παράδειγμα με παρακολούθηση των τιμών της PTH, άνοδος της οποίας συνηγορεί σε πιθανή ελάττωση των επιπέδων της βιταμίνης D3 (133), ή με παρακολούθηση του χρόνου προθρομβίνης των ασθενών ανά τακτά χρονικά διαστήματα, αύξηση του οποίου μπορεί να υποδεικνύει την ελάττωση των επιπέδων της βιταμίνης Κ (134). Στις περισσότερες περιπτώσεις, η ανεπάρκεια των λιποδιαλυτών βιταμινών γίνεται αντιληπτή μόνο από τις κλινικές της εκδηλώσεις ( 124, 125, 135).
Σκοπός αυτής της εργασίας ήταν η προεγχειρητική εκτίμηση των επιπέδων λιποδιαλυτών βιταμινών στο αίμα υπερ-παχύσαρκων ασθενών που υποβλήθηκαν σε δυσαπορροφητική επέμβαση κατά Roux-en-Y γαστρικής παράκαμψης με χολοπαγκρεατική εκτροπή, καθώς και η μετεγχειρητική παρακολούθησή τους για ένα έτος, ώστε να καταστεί δυνατή η άμεση εκτίμηση της κατάστασης των ασθενών ως προς τα αποθέματα βιταμίνης A, D E και Κ και να διερευνηθεί κατά πόσο η χειρουργικά προκαλούμενη δυσαπορρόφηση λίπους επηρεάζει την απορρόφησή και…

▼ In the poor Northeast region of Brazil, grave concerns exist regarding the prevalence of anaemia and vitamin A deficiency, and the increasing risk of overweight among preschool children. Brazil has introduced pro-poor social policies, such as preschool daycare programmes, yet comprehensive studies of the growth, health, and micronutrient status of disadvantaged daycare children in NE Brazil are lacking.
We conducted a cross-sectional study of 376 disadvantaged preschoolers aged three to six years in seven philanthropic daycares in Salvador, NE Brazil and assessed their growth and biomarkers of morbidity and micronutrient status; explored potential predisposing factors to parasitic infections, micronutrient
deficiencies, and poor iron status; and examined multiple factors associated with their somatic growth by a structural equation model (SEM).
Our results showed nearly half of the households were classified as having extremely low SES and the remainder low SES. The prevalence of underweight, wasting, and stunting in the preschoolers was low (< 10%), although 13% had BMIZ-scores > 1SD. The energy density of the daycare meals was low (0.79 kcal/g), yet the
nutrient supply was enhanced by iron and folic acid fortification and was adequate, except for calcium, vitamin A, and thiamine.
Nearly 30% were infected with >1 parasite, with boys and children from extremely low SES having more than twice the risk of helminth infections (p<0.05). Helminths negatively impacted on selenium and vitamin B-12 biomarkers (p<0.05), whereas Giardia intestinalis was positively associated with serum folate (p<0.05). Deworming treatment and vitamin A supplements were inversely associated with helminths and Giardia, respectively.
Anaemia and zinc, selenium, folate, vitamin A, and B-12
deficiencies were low (<10%), although nearly a third of children had evidence of chronic inflammation (AGP > 1 g/L). More than 30% had a genetic haemoglobin disorder. A significant inverse association was found between haemoglobin and α3.7 thalassemia (p<0.001). The major positive predictors of haemoglobin were serum selenium, retinol, and zinc, although the latter association was modest. Elevated AGP was the only positive and significant predictor of serum ferritin (p=0.001). However, serum soluble transferrin receptor was positively associated with Hb AS and BMIZ > 1SD (p<0.05).
Based on the SEM, the significant positive direct effect on HAZ-scores was maternal height (p<0.001), and the major negative associations were being male, white, of high birth order, and having a helminth infection. Similarly, the main positive predictor of BMIZ-scores was maternal weight (p<0.001), whereas extremely low SES and being male were the significant negative direct effects on BMIZ-scores (p<0.05).
In conclusion, our findings highlight the susceptibility of disadvantaged preschoolers to both under- and overnutrition and the need for effective deworming strategies. Overall adequate nutritional status appears to be associated with some pro-poor initiatives, such as…

▼ Banana is a crop of major importance in the African Great Lakes Region, because of the food and cash it provides to about 85% of the population. Despite the management efforts of smallholder farmers, on-farm banana yields are low. Low yields are mainly attributed to poor soil fertility and limited input use, drought or irregular rainfall, pests and diseases and inappropriate management practices. Relying on observations on banana plants, crop management, pests and soils in various agro-ecoregions in Rwanda and South-West Uganda, this PhD-thesis contributes to the understanding of the traditional banana-based systems by (1) ranking constraints and quantifying associated yield losses, (2) evaluating the temporal and spatial variations of soil nutrient pools, (3) relating soil fertility to the mineralogical and organic components of the soil. Hence, a Boundary Line Analysis on the available data shows that the gap between actual production and attainable yield may attain 70-96% and that poor soil fertility is an overall problem in the Great Lakes Region. Further analysis of plant foliar data highlights associated nutritional disorders. Banana production does not only vary at regional scale in function of soils and parent materials, but also changes at inter-regional or intra-farm level. Within-farm differences may relate to differential management of organic matter. In order to assess the human imprint on soil fertility, organic matter and soil minerals are evaluated as nutrient providers and as contributors to the cation exchange capacity of the soil. These analyses quantify soil mineral abundances and emphasize the key role of organic matter in maintaining soil fertility.

▼ 11 apparently diseased soils gave the same general symptoms of 'reclamation disease' with oats and peas in pot experiments. The number of microbes was smaller and the proportion fungi/microbes was always larger in diseased soils than in similar normal soils. As soil sterilisation brought no cure, the disease could not be ascribed to microbes. The widespread opinion that the disease occurred on a certain black peat (Du. Gliede) was confirmed by pot experiments, also if Gliede was mixed with sand. Two groups of organic substances could be separated by hot ethanolic extraction, one coming out of solution after cooling, the other remaining in solution. From the solution a crystalline substance could be obtained, afterwards called 'Gliedine', causing disease symptoms after application to peas and oats. At minute concentrations it stimulated growth of oats. The residue caused grey speck disease in oats. Fertilizer trials with differently diseased soils showed that only compost or CuSO4 could restore the soil (also in the 2nd year). As 'Gliedine' slowly evaporated at 100 'C diseased soils were heated 3 h per day for 3 days, resulting in restoration of slightly diseased soils, almost cure of moderately diseased soils, and delay of disease symptoms on very diseased soils. The curing effect Of CUS04 must very probably be ascribed to the formation of an insoluble compound with 'Gliedine'

▼ Iodine deficiency is a leading cause of preventable mental retardation and universal salt iodization has been adopted as the main strategy for its control. However additional strategies are required where iodized salt cannot be made available in the short term or only with difficulty in the long term. Oral iodized oil supplementation is useful for this purpose. The aim of the work described in this thesis was to compare the efficacy of different preparations of oral iodized oil for controlling iodine deficiency. In addition, the performance of different outcome indicators of iodine deficiency, the impact of nutritional status and iodine supplementation on cognitive performance, as well as the effectiveness of salt iodization in the population were investigated. The studies were carried out in school children aged 8-10 y living in an endemic iodine deficient area in Indonesia. A single oral dose of iodized oil prepared from peanut oil which is rich in oleic acid resulted in three times higher retention of iodine and twice the length of protection than iodized oil prepared from poppyseed oil which has less oleic acid and more linoleic acid. Thus iodized oils based on oleic acid rich oils should be given preference to iodized poppyseed oil in programs to control iodine deficiency. Urinary iodine concentration and thyroid volume measured by ultrasound were found to be the most useful indicators for assessing iodine status and measuring the impact of iodized oil supplementation among iodine deficient school children. However thyroid palpation still has a useful place in assessing iodine status because no sophisticated equipment is required. Iodine status as measured by urinary iodine concentration at baseline and stunting were found to be related to the improvement of cognitive performance when children were dosed with iodized oil. The use of iodized salt, which was correlated with urinary iodine concentration and thyroid volume, resulted in improvement of the iodine status of the population studied. Apart from promulgation enabling legislation, much effort needs to be expended to increase the success of salt iodization for controlling iodine deficiency.

▼ Seven elements essential for plants are defined as micronutrients: boron (B), copper (Cu), iron (Fe), manganese (Mn), molybdenum (Mo), nickel (Ni) and zinc (Zn). Deficiency of these nutrients can cause yield losses in crops and impaired crop quality. The overall aim of this thesis work was to increase the knowledge how micronutrients in Swedish cereal crops are affected by nutrient management and soil properties in order to improve crop status and avoid yield losses. Data from long term and short term Swedish field trials and a Swedish monitoring programme were evaluated to examine impacts of nutrient management and soil properties on crop accumulation. In addition, soil depletion was quantified and methods for prediction of micronutrient availability in soil were assessed.
Although crop production solely with mineral fertilizers may result in depletion of micronutrients in arable soil, results showed that depletion rate is slow and difficult to detect, even over decades. Repeated applications of organic fertilizers caused micronutrient accumulation in soil, but generally did not result in increased micronutrient concentrations in cereal crops. Instead, soil properties affecting micronutrient availability were of greater importance for crop accumulation.
High nitrogen (N) fertilization rates resulted in increased concentrations of most micronutrients in winter wheat, whereas the micronutrient to N ratio generally decreased. Accumulation of micronutrients during crop growth differed from N uptake patterns, possibly due to differing availability in soil. Nitrogen fertilization rate had no or minor effects on the accumulation dynamics or translocation from shoot to grain of micronutrients, except for Fe.
Easily accessible data such as total micronutrient concentration in soil in combination with pH or analysis of grain concentrations can be useful tools for estimation of micronutrient availability in soils. New methods of soil analysis, such as diffusive gradient in thin films (DGT) also showed promising results in predicting Cu uptake in wheat.
The results presented in this thesis can be useful in identification of fields with an elevated risk of micronutrient deficiency in cereal crops.

▼ Micronutrient malnutrition and food insecurity are widespread global public health problems. Micronutrient
deficiencies affect one-third of the global population. Household food insecurity, often results in monotonous diets, a contributing factor to malnutrition. Consuming a varied diet comprised of diversity across food groups is a recommended approach to achieving nutritional requirements. Many organizations promote the collection of information on dietary diversity to inform food security and nutritional assessments, but there is not an agreed upon set of indicators used for this purpose. Simple, standardized diet-based indicators are needed to assess, monitor and evaluate individual micronutrient intake and household food security. This thesis has a two-fold aim i) to examine relationships between dietary diversity and adequate intake of micronutrients and ii) to consider outstanding methodological questions. These include, determining an appropriate cut-point for (in)adequate intake of micronutrients from the diet and the effect of length of recall period on characterizing dietary patterns. The association between probability of adequate micronutrient intake and individual dietary scores was determined by secondary analysis of data sets of non-breastfed Filipino children (n=2805, 2-5.9y), South African children (n=2200, 1-8y), and urban Malian women (n=102, 15-49y). Dietary diversity scores were positively and significantly correlated with intake of micronutrients, with correlation coefficients of 0.36, 0.63, and 0.33 in the Philippines, South Africa, and Mali respectively. Using a minimum quantity for a food group to count in the score improved the correlations to 0.44 in the Philippines and 0.48 in Mali. The best score cut-offs for a dichotomous indicator of inadequate intake of micronutrients were four and six food groups in South Africa and six in the Philippines. In Mali, five or more food groups was the best cut-off point for increased mean probability of micronutrient adequacy. In Mali dietary diversity scores using six and nine food groups had slightly higher correlations and indicator performance than scores based on thirteen or twenty-one food groups. Differences in household-level dietary patterns over one and seven day recall periods were tested through secondary analysis in Somalia (n=430 hh), Burkina Faso (n=3640 hh), Lao PDR (n=3913 hh) and Northern Uganda (n=1956 ). In Somalia, the median dietary diversity score was four for both a one day and seven day recall period. The main food groups consumed by fifty percent or more of households in the lowest dietary diversity tertile were cereals, sugar and oil for both recall periods. The dietary patterns based on food group consumption using score tertiles in Burkina Faso, Lao PDR and Northern Uganda were similar for one or seven days. This thesis shows that dietary diversity scores are acceptable indicators of micronutrient intake from the diet. Requiring a minimum quantity of consumption for a food group to count in the score…

▼ Abstract of the PhD thesis entitled “Chemical and biological rhizosphere interactions in low zinc soils” by Andreas Duffner Soil provides ecosystem services critical for life. The availability of micronutrients, such as zinc (Zn), in soils is an essential factor for normal healthy growth and reproduction of plants. Zinc deficiency is, however, a global problem in crop production due to low Zn bioavailability in soils to plants. The bioavailable Zn fraction in soils is controlled by several factors and is not directly related to the total Zn content of soils. The main objective of this thesis was the determination of factors which control Zn bioavailability in soils to plants and to assess approaches to improve the prediction of Zn plant uptake. Based on rhizobox experiments,
in situ measurements in the rhizosphere as well as multisurface- and radial transport modeling approaches it was shown that the effect of root exuded citrate for increasing plant available Zn is soil specific and does not depend on a specific concentration of low molecular weight organic acids (e.g. citric acid) in the soil solution. Using various low Zn soils at the same time in an experimental setting improved the understanding of soil-responsiveness to root exuded citrate. Another insight was that multisurface models, which are widely used to assess the potential ecotoxicological risk in metal-contaminated soils, are also accurate to predict the Zn activity in soils with low Zn levels. The predictions were validated with the soil column Donnan Membrane Technique by using various soils with low Zn levels. It was predicted that soil organic matter is the dominant Zn sorbent and controlled the Zn activity also at low soil organic matter levels. Examples were shown how this modeling approach can be used to assess management options to increase bioavailable Zn to plants. Using soil extracted Zn fractions to directly predict the Zn plant uptake at low Zn levels was shown to be inaccurate. Using a stepwise approach where the steps of the uptake process were characterized with, respectively, Zn solid-solution distribution, adsorption of Zn to root surface, Zn uptake into root and Zn translocation to shoot made the prediction of Zn plant uptake more accurate. Root surface adsorbed Zn was shown to be a useful proxy for the bioavailable Zn. The framework of experimental and modeling approaches which were developed and applied in this thesis can also be used to study the plant-availability of other micronutrients at low concentration levels and how that is affected by various root exuded ligands.

▼ SO
2 may cause damage on crops and vegetation. This thesis aimes to explain the impact of SO
2 on plant growth and crop production on basis of a quantitative analysis of SO
2 effects on physiological processes. Photosynthesis of leaves was found to be depressed at high radiation levels, by competition between SO
2 and CO
2 for the carboxylating enzyme. A model for the flux of SO
2 into the leaf and effects of its metabolites on photosynthesis was developed and used to estimate values for model parameters at the biochemical level from data on the effect of SO
2 on photosynthesis. Differences in sensitivity between species and cultivars appeared to be largely based on variation in the rate of sulphite oxidation. The model was used to analyse the mechanism behind temperature effects on photosynthetic sensitivity to SO
2 . The submodel for SO
2 effects at the leaf level was coupled to a model for photosynthesis for leaf canopies. The effects Of SO
2 on canopy photosynthesis were simulated accurately. SO
2 effects on growth and production of broad bean (Vicia faba L.) crops were studied using an open-air exposure system. Yield was depressed by 9-17% at SO
2 concentrations ranging from 74-165 μg SO
2 m
-3. Chronic injury, leaf damage in the older leaves after long exposures, caused substantial reductions in leaf area at the end of the growing period. The mechanism behind the observed depression in crop yield was analysed by mechanistic simulation models for crop growth, extended with the submodels for SO
2 effects on leaf photosynthesis. Direct effects of SO
2 on photosynthesis explained about 10% of the observed yield reduction. An increased rate of maintenance respiration, observed in field exposed leaves, explained an extra 10% of the observed yield reduction. The major part was explained by chronic leaf injury at the end of the growing period. Because chronic injury may be related to a disturbance of intracellular pH regulation, a conceptual model was proposed for regulation of intracellular pH in relation to uptake and assimilation of nutrients and uptake of N and S containing air pollutants by the shoots of plants. The results of this study are discussed in view of the development of mechanistic models for estimation of the impact of air pollutants on crops, forests and (semi-) natural vegetation.

▼ The influence was studied of K, P and N in the potato variety President in an outdoor experiment in stoneware cylinders filled with alluvial riverine sand and in a greenhouse in glazed stoneware pots filled with glass sand, partly treated with concentrated HCl. From the outdoor plants, sections were cut through the middle of the first and ninth internode. With an Abb_'s prism, drawings were made, indicating diagrammatically the various tissues. The surface areas of the various tissues were measured with a planimeter. The average percentage of each tissue was calculated for each treatment (KPN, NP, KN, KP, P, K, N, 0). The external and internal symptoms of Ca, Mg, Mn, Fe, B and Zn deficiency and those of Mn, B and Cu excess were studied in some potato varieties grown in glass sand or water culture. The effect of Na and Cl was studied in water culture by adding increasing amounts of NaCl, or CaCl 2 to the medium. Tubers showed internally typical symptoms only in Ca and B deficiency. The tuber disease from calcium deficiency was called medullary necrosis.

▼ Cereal plants growing on newly reclaimed peaty and heath soils often showed serious symptoms of 'reclamation disease' which were cured by adding Cu salts. To elucidate the function of Cu in this plant disease, several plant species were grown in purified water-culture and sand media practically free from Cu. The symptoms of Cu
deficiencies obtained were identical with the symptoms of plants growing in 'diseased' soil. The considerably larger amounts of Cu needed by plants growing in 'diseased' soil proved to be due to the fixation of Cu by the black organic matter of the soils. Further evidence that a low content of available Cu was the cause of reclamation disease was provided by a microbiological method. In this test the colour of the spores of Aspergillus niger grown in a copper-deficient medium supplied with small amounts of soil was a measure of Cu supply to the fungus. In addition to fixation by certain types of organic matter, bacteria producing hydrogen sulphide may precipitate soluble Cu so that it becomes, at least temporarily, unavailable. With humid air, symptoms of Cu
deficiencies were less severe. Copper-deficient wheat plants were more susceptible to fungus diseases. Application of Cu salts may sometimes cause manganese deficiency. Cu was, found to be required by some micro-organisms.

▼ English summary Zinc is an important structural component and co-factor of proteins in all living organisms. The model plant species for genetic and molecular studies,
Arabidopsis thaliana, expresses more than 2,000 proteins with one or more Zn binding domains. Low Zn availability in arable soils is a widespread problem around the world which results in agricultural losses and the production of grains with low Zn content. The long-term consumption of low-Zn-content food items leads to severe health problems in humans as a result of severe or mild dietary Zn deficiency. Hence the importance of studying Zn homeostasis in plants and mechanisms involved in Zn deficiency tolerance aiming to enhance Zn concentration in plants edible parts and to develop varieties with a higher tolerance to Zn deficiency. Plants are sessile organisms which trough evolution have developed specific traits in order to adapt to certain environmental conditions in their surroundings. As a result some plant genotypes are more tolerant to Zn deficiency and when exposed to low Zn conditions are able to perform better than others. To investigate the physiological mechanisms involved in Zn deficiency tolerance I examined natural variation present in a set of twenty diverse
Arabidopsis thaliana accessions. In chapter 2, differences in shoot biomass production, Zn usage index (ZnUI), ionome (concentration of elements) and expression level of six key Zn deficiency responsive genes were studied. Accessions did not show large natural variation for shoot Zn concentration under Zn deficiency, while the decreases in shoot biomass and ZnUI were more variable. The conclusion from this is that accessions differ for the minimum Zn concentration required for growth which is associated with differences in Zn deficiency tolerance. We also found that the gene expression levels of three Zn transmembrane transporters (IRT3, ZIP3 and 4) in shoot were positively correlated with ZnUI and shoot biomass, but negatively correlated with shoot Zn concentration. This implies that a higher tolerance to Zn deficiency in
A. thaliana is associated with an increased Zn translocation from root to shoot under low Zn. Furthermore, I used a logistic regression model to demonstrate that differences in the shoot ionome can be used as a biomarker to identify the plant Zn physiological state. Based on the changes in the concentrations of some elements in each of the Zn deficiency treatments it was possible to predict the Zn physiological state of the plants similarly to when Zn concentration is used alone. The adaptive response to Zn deficiency involves physiological changes in shoots, but also in roots which play a key role in the acquisition of nutrients. In chapter 3 I used the same twenty
A. thaliana accessions as described in chapter 2 to identify root system architecture traits and changes in the root ionome involved in a higher tolerance to Zn deficiency in plants. Similar to shoots, all accessions showed a…

▼ The status of selenium supplementation of 123 mares and 87 foals during
pregnancy, lactation and rearing was investigated at four Thoroughbred
breeding farms in different regions in the southwest of Germany. Feed, blood
plasma and whole blood was analysed for selenium content. The plasma
glutathione peroxidase activity was determined. General health and
reproductive performance data of the mares and foals were recorded by
questionnaires. At one farm the selenium status of thirteen pregnant mares and
foals was investigated over a period of ten months.
The selenium supply of the four herds showed differences from marginal (0,09
ppm) to adequate (0,25 ppm).
The mean value of plasma selenium concentration in the different fedlots
related to selenium intake. However, within the herds with equal selenium
intake, the plasma selenium concentration showed great individual differences.
The plasma selenium concentration of unweaned foals up to four months of age
was significant lower than the one of their mares. The ratio between plasma
selenium concentration of mare and foal was roughly 2 : 1.
No significant difference was found between the plasma selenium concentration
of sound mares and foals compared to sick horses and those with reproductive
disorders.
The follow-up studies revealed a decrease of plasma selenium concentration in
mares that were in an advanced state of pregnancy (week 40-48). The suckling
foals plasma selenium concentration showed little changes. After weaning the
plasma selenium concentration increased significantly.
Selenium concentration in plasma and whole blood correlated closely, the ratio
of the two being roughly 1,4 : 1. Both methods of analysis are equally
sufficient to determine the selenium status of Thoroughbred mares and foals.
However, the plasma selenium concentration does not yield reliable information
on the selenium status of other tissues. As selenium is harvested partly in
Erythrocytes, and changes in selenium intake will cause delayed alterations in
whole blood selenium concentration (mean RBC life span 120 days), this has to
be kept in mind, if whole blood is used to estimate the selenium status of
horses.
There was no significant relation between glutathione peroxidase activity in
plasma and plasma selenium concentration. Glutathione peroxidase activity in
plasma is no reliable parameter for information of selenium supply.
Because of the great variability of plasma selenium concentration within the
herds it is advisable to draw blood samples from different animals to
ascertain the selenium status of the herd.

▼ Background: Obesity, and its related co-morbidities, is a growing problem that has resulted in the development of numerous weight loss diets, including Mediterranean, Paleo, and Intermittent fasting diets. Whilst weight loss can contribute greatly to reducing the risks of chronic disease, it is vital for health to ensure optimal dietary intakes are achieved.
Objectives: To compare the nutritional intakes, and determine the prevalence of inadequate intakes among overweight Dunedin participants consuming a Mediterranean, modified-Paleo, or intermittent fasting diet.
Methods: This thesis used the first 112 participants enrolled in the SWIFT weight loss study (from a total of 250 possible participants). Participants were able to choose which particular dietary plan they would like to follow. Participant
nutrient intakes including all supplements, foods and beverages were gathered with 3-4 day weighed food diaries. Mean
nutrient intakes of each diet intervention group and p-values for the differences between groups were calculated using ANOVA. Prevalence of inadequate
nutrient intakes was calculated by comparing usual intakes with
nutrient EAR’s. The likelihood of inadequate
nutrient intakes was calculated through comparisons of mean
nutrient intakes with AI values. The PC-Side method described in this study is used to assess usual dietary intakes, which are then analysed through comparisons with appropriate Dietary Reference Intakes (DRI’s).
Results: The demographics and diet choices of our 112 participants were broadly similar to the larger SWIFT sample (n=250). The majority of our 112 participants (57.1%) chose the IF diet, and 28.6% the Mediterranean diet, whereas only 14.3% followed the MP diet. There were no significant differences in energy intakes between diet groups, despite the energy restriction on the IF diet. Analysis of nutritional adequacy revealed that the IF group had a significantly greater prevalence of inadequate intakes of vitamin B6, folate, calcium, magnesium, selenium, and zinc than the Mediterranean diet, and that both groups had a high prevalence of inadequate calcium and folate intakes. The MP participants consumed significantly more cholesterol, SAFA, and MUFA (% energy) than both the IF and Mediterranean diets, and significantly less calcium, and carbohydrate. All groups consumed above the upper limit for sodium and recommendation of 8- 10% TE for SAFA. All diets were at risk of inadequate calcium, dietary fibre, and folate intakes.
Conclusion: Our research reveals that IF participants have a significantly greater prevalence of suboptimal intakes than those consuming a Mediterranean diet. Since energy intakes did not differ significantly between groups, this difference in intakes is likely a result of food choice rather than the energy reduction associated with following an IF diet. All diets appeared to be at risk of suboptimal folate, dietary fibre, and calcium intakes, and excessive SAFA and sodium intakes. Future larger studies focusing on
nutrient density of the Mediterranean, Paleo,…

▼ This thesis aimed at investigating the role of genetic and nutritional factors that affect the immune response to malaria in Tanzanian children. The introductory chapter (Chapter 1) reviews the importance of nutritional
deficiencies, particularly of zinc, and presents the hypothesis that such
deficiencies lead to impaired immunity and contribute to the burden of malaria. The chapter also describes current efforts to prevent malaria through intermittent preventive treatment, both in infants (IPTi) and pregnant women (IPTp). Sulfadoxinepyrimethamine is still used for first-line treatment of uncomplicated malaria, or, in many countries, to prevent malaria and anaemia in pregnancy. In malaria endemic areas, development of resistance to previously valuable antimalarial drugs has been continuously reported for decades. Thus our initial longitudinal study aimed at measuring the prevalence of resistance-associated mutations on dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) and dihydropteroate synthase (DHPS) genes (dhfr and dhps) that confer parasite resistance to sulphadoxinepyrimethamine (SP) that was used as an interim antimalarial drug after chloroquine resistance. Although SP resistance-associated point mutations were highly prevalent, we observed an adequate parasite response to SP (Chapter 2). We speculated that the impact of the dhfr and dhps mutations on SP resistance may be dependent at least in part on the protective immunity that has developed in response to frequent exposure to infection and may be weighed down by host immunity in endemic areas and thus impacts in the continued use of the drug for treatment of malaria. The impact of other drugs with similar mechanisms of action used as antibiotics in selecting mutations responsible for SP resistance needs therefore to be studied for their modulating activity of the immune response. These findings underscore the relevance to further study the crucial involvement of the immune system in the development of protection against malaria but also affecting the efficacy of treatment modalities of malaria in various African conditions. In the subsequent cross-sectional studies, we assessed the effect of
deficiencies of zinc and magnesium as well as iron deficiency anaemia on malaria-specific cytokine responses indicative of innate immunity to Plasmodium falciparum (Chapter 3). In this study, we used Plasmodium falciparum-parasitised red blood cells (pRBCs) as antigens for in vitro stimulation of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). Cytokines were measured in the supernatant of cultured PBMCs after 24 hours of stimulation. Zinc deficiency was associated with a marked increase in monocyte-derived TNF-α concentration in children with malarial infection but not in their uninfected peers. In children with malarial infection, iron deficiency anaemia was associated with elevated concentrations of TNF-α, whereas magnesium deficiency in children without malaria seemed to be associated with increased concentrations of IL-10. Our findings reflected plasticity in cytokine profiles of…

▼ ABSTRACT Background: Iodine is a key
nutrient in neurodevelopment, and the fetus is entirely dependent on the iodine intake of the mother to fulfill this important requirement for proper brain function. While this is clearly known, it is uncertain if maternal iodine nutrition should be monitored separately against what is in current practice in public health programs to control iodine deficiency. Also, it is unclear whether it is beneficial to supplement pregnant women with iodine in mild-to moderately iodine deficient and also iodine sufficient areas. Finally, the role of thyroid dysfunction in depression during pregnancy is uncertain. Objectives: 1) to determine whether iodine supplementation to pregnant women improves maternal and newborn thyroid function, pregnancy outcome, birth weight, infant growth and cognitive performance; 2) to assess iodine intake and potential determinants of intake, in pregnant women and their children who were sharing all meals; 3) to measure thyroid status during pregnancy and assess potential determinants of maternal thyroid function including iodine status, thyroid autoimmunity, body weight and anemia; 4) to assess the association of maternal depression, and thyroid function during pregnancy. Methods: 1) In a randomized placebo controlled trial (RCT), the MITCH (Maternal Iodine Supplementation and its Effects on Thyroid function and CHild Development) study, pregnant women, gestational age ≤14 weeks, in Bangalore, India, were randomized to receive either a daily supplement of 200 µg oral iodine or placebo from enrolment until delivery. Women were followed through delivery, and then with postnatal follow-up of their infants at 6 weeks, 1 and 2 year. Early neonatal development was assessed using the Neonatal Behavioral Assessment Scale (NBAS) at 6 weeks of age; neurocognitive assessment was done using the Bayley Scales of Infant Development (BSID III) at 1 and 2 years, and BRIEF-P (Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function) at 2 years; 2) A cross-sectional study comparing iodine status of pregnant women and their children, who were sharing all meals in Bangalore, India; 3) A cross-sectional study among 334 pregnant women ≤14 weeks of gestation, in Bangalore, India, who were screened for the RCT; 4) Secondary analysis of the longitudinal data on 318 pregnant women in the RCT. Results: 1) In the RCT, there were no significant differences between groups in maternal thyroid function tests or thyroid volume during gestation. The prevalence of thyroid dysfunction or anti-TPO antibodies did not differ significantly during gestation and postpartum. Postpartum, there were no significant differences between the maternal and infant groups in thyroid function, birth outcomes or UIC. Neonates whose mothers received iodine supplementation during pregnancy had better orientation scores at 6 weeks of age and lower scores of inhibition suggesting better executive function at 2 years…

▼ Keywords:</span><span lang=EN-US>Arbuscular mycorrhiza, Exudation, Oryza sativa , Rhizosphere, Rice, Soil, Zinc</span>Zinc deficiency is a wide-spread constraint for crop production and human health. This thesis should contribute to alleviation of Zn deficiency problems and aimed at identifying soil and plant factors affecting Zn bioavailability in rice ( Oryza sativa L.). Two main research questions were: 1) what is the consequence of a cultivation shift from flooded to aerobic rice on Zn bioavailability and 2) which mechanisms control Zn mobilization by aerobic rice? Field experiments demonstrated that the cultivation shift from flooded to aerobic may increase Zn deficiency problems. Lower Zn uptake and mass fraction in shoot and brown rice were observed in aerobic fields. Results of a soil incubation experiment and modeling showed that the difference found in plant Zn uptake between the two cultivation systems was orders of magnitude lower compared to what can be expected based on chemical equilibria in the bulk soil. This discrepancy suggests that soil chemical properties such as pH, DOC level and redox conditions in rhizosphere need consideration. We observed considerable variation among aerobic rice genotypes in tolerance to Zn deficiency under both field and pot conditions. In a pot experiment we found that variation in tolerance was mainly associated with Zn uptake. Plant Zn uptake from low Zn soils can be increased by both Zn-mobilizing rhizosphere processes and inoculation with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi. We demonstrated that mycorrhizal inoculation significantly increased Zn uptake, but only in genotypes with a low inherent Zn uptake. High Zn mobilization by a combination of chemical rhizosphere and mycorrhizal effects seems impossible and may not be feasible as a target for breeders. In a rhizotron experiment and a
nutrient solution experiment, aerobic rice genotypes responded to Zn deficiency with increased root exudation of malate.</span><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:13.0pt; line-height:120%;font-family:Garamond;mso-bidi-font-family:Arial'>Genotypes with a higher Zn uptake showed a stronger increase in malate exudation in response to Zn deficiency.</span><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:13.0pt; line-height:120%;font-family:Garamond'>These results confirm our hypothesis that genotypic variation in Zn uptake of aerobic rice can partly be explained by root exudation of malate.

▼ Consequences of micronutrient
deficiencies in infants often include linear growth retardation, impaired psychomotor development and reduced appetite. Fortification of complementary food is one way of addressing micronutrient
deficiencies in this age group. Knowledge about these
deficiencies, food consumption patterns and appetite in infants is essential in planning micronutrient fortification intervention studies. In this thesis four studies are described, two of which studied the prevalence of micronutrient deficiency and linear growth retardation in rural and urban disadvantaged South African infants. The third study determined the adequacy of the appetite of infants at the age of 6 months. The final study is an intervention study with the aim to study the effect of a micronutrient fortified complementary food on the nutritional status, growth and development of 6-12-month-old poor urban infants. The results from the first two studies showed a high prevalence of vitamin A, iron and zinc deficiency in both rural and urban infants. The low socio-economic status of the urban community and sub-optimal feeding practices may explain the similarity of
deficiencies observed between rural and urban infants. The third study demonstrates that appetite was adequate in infants at the age of 6 months and not yet affected by micronutrient
deficiencies. The consumption of a micronutrient-fortified complementary food appeared to reduce the decline in both serum retinol and iron concentrations in the experimental group. No effect was observed on serum zinc concentration, linear growth and psychomotor development. In conclusion, the findings of this study demonstrate similar levels of nutritional
deficiencies in both poor urban and rural children. Significant differences between urban disadvantaged coloured and black infants with respect to micronutrient
deficiencies and linear growth exist. This highlights the importance of including assessment of micronutrient status in addition to anthropometric measurements when assessing nutritional status. The observation of an adequate appetite in infants at the age of 6 months is important for the introduction of micronutrient-fortified complementary food. The observed positive effect of a micronutrient-fortified complementary food on serum retinol and iron concentrations in 6-12-month-old infants should be investigated further.

▼ Background: Zinc is important for innate and adaptive immune responses to infection. Preventive zinc supplementation has been shown to reduce the incidence of acute diarrhoea by 20%. Few trials have evaluated its effect against malaria. Because trial results for both outcomes are inconsistent, research priorities must shift from studies to measure efficacy to identifying factors that determine the magnitude of the effect of zinc supplementation. We hypothesized that protection by zinc supplementation depends on concomitant supplementation with other nutrients. Objectives: Specific objectives were: a) to assess the effect of supplementation with zinc, alone or in combination with other nutrients, on the rates of malaria (primary objective); b) to assess intervention effects on rates of diarrhoea and other common diseases; c) to identify factors that determine the magnitude of the effect of the interventions. Our studies also provided an opportunity to assess effects of α+-thalassaemia on malaria and malaria-associated anaemia. This haemoglobin disorder is highly prevalent in eastern Africa and that has recently been reported to protect against severe malaria. Methods: In a highly malaria-endemic area in rural Tanzania, we randomised children (n=612) aged 6-60 months with height-for-age z-score ≤ –1.5 SD to daily supplementation with: a) zinc, vitamins and other mineral elements (‘multi-nutrients’); b) zinc; c) multi-nutrients without zinc; or d) placebo. Those with Plasmodium infection at baseline were treated. Field staff and participants were blinded to treatment. Sick children were detected and evaluated in a research clinic. The primary outcome, an episode of malaria, was pre-defined as current Plasmodium antigenaemia in children with guardian-reported fever and any of the following: a) confirmed fever (axillary temperature ≥ 37.5 °C), or b) unconfirmed fever with inflammation (whole blood C-reactive protein concentrations ≥ 8 mg/L), separated by at least 14 days from a previous malaria episode. Results: The primary analysis included 1,572 episodes of malaria and 526 child-years of observation. The prevalence of zinc deficiency (plasma zinc concentration < 9.9 μmol/mL) was 67% overall, and 60% in those without inflammation (plasma C-reactive protein concentration < 8 mg/L). This prevalence was dramatically reduced by zinc supplementation. We found no evidence that concurrent supplementation with multi-nutrients influenced the magnitude of the effect of zinc on rates of malaria or diarrhoea, so that marginal effects will be presented in the remainder of this summary. Although we found no evidence that zinc alone protected against malaria, it reduced rates of diarrhoea by 24% (95% CI: 4%–40%) and of episodes of fever without localising signs by 25% (4%–43%), two disorders with mutually …

▼ At a safe temperature (over 13_C) in a green fruit of tomato the acid content increases and the respiration quotient CO 2 /O 2 < 1. When the fruit colour changes from green to yellow and red, the acid content decreases suddenly and the respiration quotient quickly increases to CO 2 /O 2 >1. At a harmful temperature (well below +12_C) acid content and respiration quotient of a green fruit behave normally during the first few days, but then the increase in acid stops and CO 2 /O 2 becomes one. In green tomatoes with low temperature breakdown acid very slowly decreases after return to a safe temperature instead of increasing, and CO 2 /O 2 is about 1 instead of < 1; with the (imperfect) colour change the sudden drop in acid is absent and CO 2 /O 2 is 1. No indications for an abnormal sugar respiration were found. From these results and from data in the literature a working hypothesis was made that low non-freezing temperature causes an irreversible physical change in the protoplasm of the tomato fruit, so that normal protein hydrolysis does not take place, and no amino acids become available to form organic acids by deamination.

▼ In the semi-arid environment of northern Burkina Faso the processes of wind and water erosion occur almost simultaneously and may cause severe soil degradation. Especially in the early rainy season when soils are bare and unprotected, violent winds preceding intense rainfall events result in intense sediment transport by both wind and water. This Ph.D. project aimed at quantifying and modelling wind and water erosion processes, their interaction and related
nutrient flows in a Sahelian environment. The source codes of EUROSEM and the stand-alone erosion sub-model of WEPS are translated to the dynamic modelling language PCRaster, further adapted to be applicable to the Sahelian situation and extended with
nutrient components. From field measurement and modelling results it is concluded that for water erosion rain splash is the most important detaching agent at the scale of the field and that despite the large volumes of overland flow, erosion is transport capacity limited due to the general low slopes. The material detached by water is available for wind-blown transport. Due to the absence of non-eroding boundaries, intense mass transport under influence of violent winds does not always result in erosion. Depending on wind direction, cover and crust type, net deposition may occur. Further, due to the large spatial variation in wind erosion controlling parameters, areas with erosion and deposition can be identified within a field. Based on model results it is concluded that wind erosion is responsible that wind erosion is responsible for the loss of deposition of large amounts of fine sediment and the nutrients attached to these sediments. Though compared to wind erosion, the
nutrient losses under influence of water erosion are small, these losses should not be underestimated; these nutrients flow to the nearest stream and are forever lost for the catchment. Due to the interaction between wind and water,
nutrient and soil erosion at field scale may be large, but are limited at village scale. Provided a good management of natural resources as tree and shrub cover and a good insight in the distribution of cultivated and fallow fields around the village, long-term productivity is not at risk in the southern Sahelian zone.

▼ Keywords: iodine deficiency, iodine excess, endemic goiter, drinking water, iodine intake, thyroid function, thyroid size, iodized salt, iodized oil, IQ, physical development, hearing capacity, epidemiology, meta-analysis, IDD, randomized trial, intervention, USA, Bangladesh, China Endemic goiter can be caused both by iodine deficiency and iodine excess. Iodine deficiency was a public health problem in Jiangsu Province, China and has been eliminated through salt iodization in a majority of counties in Jiangsu. In Feng, Pei and Tongshan Counties in Xuzhou Municipality, endemic goiter has been found to be associated with iodine excess. This thesis describes the relationship of iodine intakes ranging from normal to excessive with thyroid size, thyroid function, goiter prevalence, intellectual development, physical development and hearing capacity, and the efficacy and effectiveness of iodine intervention programs in schoolchildren. An ecological relationship of iodine intakes ranging from normal to excessive with an enlarged thyroid size, an increased prevalence of goiter and a perturbed thyroid function has been found in three counties in Xuzhou Municipality. A negative relationship of iodine intake from normal to excessive with intellectual quotient (IQ) in schoolchildren aged >11 y indicates that excessive iodine intake is associated with a decline in IQ. This was supported by the results of a meta-analysis of 16 studies where iodine excess was found to be related to a small but significant deficit in intellectual attainment of schoolchildren. Reduction of iodine intake from excessive to normal is accompanied by a reduction in thyroid size, a decreased urinary iodine concentration and a partial normalization of thyroid function. It is now estimated that iodine excess is a public health risk for nearly 16 million people in 92 counties of 10 provinces in China. Comparison of thyroid volumes collected from schoolchildren in the US and in Bangladesh with those in Europe found that the new WHO reference for the upper limit of normal thyroid volume is not applicable worldwide. A randomized trial in an iodine deficient area showed that it takes 12 months for enlarged thyroid glands to reduce to normal if iodine supply is consistently adequate. This period is longer if the iodine supply fluctuates. An evaluation of the effectiveness of iodine intervention programs in 9 counties of Jiangsu Province indicated that iodine deficiency has been eliminated in these counties. Based on the evidence from the work described in this thesis, a maximum allowable iodine concentration can be set at 300μg/L in drinking water or at 800μg/L in urine of adults. Iodine concentrations above these levels should be regarded as a public health risk.

▼ Micronutrient
deficiencies are highly prevalent in children in developing countries with an increased risk of morbidity, mortality, and poor psychomotor development. In this PhD thesis the impact of meat and milk provided with a local dish over 2 years to rural Kenyan school children on a number of outcomes was examined. It was shown that the provision of any food supplement was beneficial for weight gain and that the meat supplement increased muscle mass. The milk supplement seemed to be beneficial for height gain in those children who were more growth retarded. A diet containing energy and micronutrients that are provided in high amounts in animal source foods was found to be beneficial for growth. The absorption of iron from the habitual diet of the children is low due to food components that inhibit absorption. If some meat and ascorbic acid contained in fruits is added to the children¿s diet, their iron nutrition could be improved.

▼ <p/>In the Netherlands a soil may induce Mo-deficiency symptoms in beet if it contains more than 1 or 2% iron; whether such deficiency did occur depended primarily on pH, but particle size and kind of iron also played a role: αFe
2 O
3 and αFeOOH sharply reduced Mo content of the plant; γFe
2 O
3 had only little effect. When no molybdenum was supplied, three groups of soils could be distinguished by the interaction Mo X P: soils where P almost completely prevented Mo deficiency; soils where P aggravated deficiency; and soils where P dressing hardly affected response to Mo. Steaming soils influenced Mo content of the plant. The effect of adding Mo differed when it was supplied before from when it was supplied after steaming. Applying Mo before steaming reduced its availability but after steaming increased it. Application of manganese sulphate reduced Mo content of the plant to a degree depending on the amount of available Mo in soil. Beet could take up Mo as a cation, the cation was less effective within the plant. A scheme summarizes processes affecting the availability of Mo in Dutch soils.

The large investments in irrigation infrastructure, made to improve food security, to generate income, and to reduce rice imports, are currently at stake. Many farmers and researchers suggested that the rice productivity problems might (partly) be due to salt-related soil degradation. Sahelian irrigation waters contain little salt, but are relatively rich in carbonates (RA
calcite > 0). In the hot and dry Sahelian climate, irrigation with such waters could lead to the formation of an alkaline (high pH) and sodic (high sodium content) soil, which has a low productivity.

▼ <p/>To study possibilities for increases of yield of the apple cultivar Cox's Orange Pippin, relevant information was gathered about fruit set and fruit drop, in particular about June drop. The information concerned pollination intensity, amount of fruit set, seed content of the fruit, number of leaves per spur, and the influence of the bourse shoots. Several growth regulators were tested to see whether these can reduce June drop.<p/>The main conclusions drawn from the results of these observations are given in Section 3.1.3. (p. 18). The growth regulators examined were NAA, NAAm, GA
3 , GA
4+7 , BA and ABA. The experimental results are given in Section 3.2.3 (p. 40). The most interesting finding in the latter part of this work was the promising ability of GA
4+7 to reduce June drop.<p/>The factors underlying fruit set, fruit drop, and fruit growth and the possible role of the applied regulators under study are discussed, whereby fruit drop was related with leaf abscission.
