Children’s dietary habit in food insecure area Madura island Indonesia
(2020-10-18)
Objectives: Food insecurity and malnutrition are still a public health issue, particularly in developing countries. Household food security is a determinant factor of dietary quantity and quality. This study aims to analyse the correlation between household food security and children’s dietary habit in food-insecure areas.
Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in Bangkalan District, Madura Island, Indonesia and included 89 households with children under five. The Food Insecurity Experience Scale (FIES) ...

A comparative cost-benefit analysis between fairtrade certified and non-certified cocoa production in the South-West region of Cameroon
(2021-12-31)
In order to promote cocoa agroforestry by encouraging cocoa farmers to integrate fruit trees inside their cocoa orchards, cocoa certification was initially launched since 2012 in Cameroon. Nowadays, cocoa certification is adopted by a few farmers and makes up only 3% of the national cocoa production. Using the most predominant Fairtrade certification in the South-West region, this study compared certified and non-certified cocoa production via a cost-benefit analysis. The results indicated that, in spite of its ...

Effect of different mechanical seed scarification methods on germination and emergence dynamics of baobab (Adansonia digitata L.)
(2021-10-28)
The African baobab (Adansonia digitata L.) is a multipurpose fruit-producing tree that is indigenous to the African savannahs. Commercial interest in the species has grown in recent years. The major obstacle of seed-based propagation of baobab is its inherent seed dormancy. Therefore, in this study the effects of different mechanical seed scarification methods on seed germination parameters and seedling development of A. digitata were tested. The results show that mechanical scarification had a significant effect on ...

Optimizing drying processes for agricultural products utilising non-invasive measurement and adaptive control systems
(2021)
With increasing population and global warming, the need for functional yet nutritional food combined with energy efficient processes has risen significantly. The new “Industry 4.0” revolution acknowledging this need aims to develop and improve processes that are affordable as well as sustainable. For a process like drying this means a shift towards smart or intelligent drying systems using a multidisciplinary approach. This encompasses the use of advanced computational algorithms and control systems integrated with ...

Disability Studies in Education: Normalität/en im inklusiven Unterricht und im Bildungsbereich hinterfragen
(Verlag Barbara Budrich, 2021)
Disability Studies und Pädagogik haben lange getrennte Diskurse gepflegt, wobei sich die Disability Studies von der traditionellen (Sonder-)Pädagogik eindeutig abgegrenzt haben. Ausgehend von den USA etabliert sich jedoch in den letzten Jahren mit den Disability Studies in Education (DSE) ein Diskursstrang, der das Behinderungsverständnis der Disability Studies in einen kritischen pädagogischen Diskurs einbringt, um so der gemeinsamen Bildung behinderter und nicht behinderter Schüler*innen eine emanzipatorische Basis ...

Assessing African Energy Transitions: Renewable Energy Policies, Energy Justice, and SDG 7
(2021-02-26)
Renewable energy has made significant inroads in addressing growing energy demands on the African continent. However, progress towards SDG 7 is still limited and difficult to trace. Furthermore, the results-oriented rationale of the SDGs means that both policy change and the dimension of environmental justice are not covered properly. We argue that the energy justice concept may provide a powerful tool to offset looming trade-offs and enhance the co-benefits of SDG 7 within broader transition endeavours. In doing so, ...

Numerical Modeling and Characterization of Drying Process of Agricultural Products
(2021)
The main goal of this work was to experimentally characterize the hot air-drying process of agricultural products (Potato, Carrot, Tomato) and verify it with numerical solutions at single layer and industrial scale dryer using Comsol Multiphysics® 5.3.
Input parameters at single layer dryer effects on quality attributes were examined. Two strategies of drying were applied on batch dryer to examine the input effects on quality attributes. Constant input parameters strategy was designed by using central composite ...

Growth performance and immunological response of African Catfish (Clarias gariepinus) juveniles reared in biofloc system
(2021-06-08)
This study was conducted to examine the growth and immune performance of catfish (Clarias gariepinus) juveniles cultured in a biofloc fish farming system. To achieve this, 900 C. gariepinus juveniles (9.0 ± 0.23 g) were cultured in an intensive zero water exchange biofloc system for 72 days in 9 separate tanks (2 m3 each) aerated by an air blower, after which growth assessment of fish was conducted. The trial consisted of three treatments in triplicates, a control without carbon source addition, and two biofloc ...

Integrierte hydrologische Modellierung von Oberflächen- und Grundwasser in dem mesoskaligen Einzugsgebiet des Rautenbach, Nordhessen
(2021-07)
In den vergangenen Jahren kam es in Europa vermehrt zu sommerlichen Dürreperioden mit erheblichen Beeinträchtigungen der Ökosysteme sowie für Land- und Forstwirtschaft. Die dadurch zunehmenden Herausforderungen an das Wasserressourcenmanagement fordern ein erweitertes Systemverständnis, welches durch realitätsnahe hydrologische Modellierung gewonnen werden kann.
Integrierte hydrologische Modelle ermöglichen die räumlich und zeitlich differenzierte Abbildung ober- und unterirdischer Abflüsse und derer Wechselwirkungen. ...
