Joint A4NH/ISPC Workshop on Nutrition - Insights and recommendations

ثبت نشده
چکیده

The CGIAR Independent Science & Partnership Council (ISPC) has complemented the work of the CGIAR Research Program (CRP) on Agriculture for Nutrition and Health (A4NH), by providing fora for discussion between the CGIAR and partners on the challenge of identifying how agricultural research can contribute to improved human nutrition. In an era when the quantity of food produced globally is not the primary constraint to decreasing malnutrition, the nature of the research questions to be addressed by agricultural research needs to be re-considered if positive nutritional outcomes are to be achieved. The ISPC held a Science Forum (SF) in 2013, which was attended not only by scientific experts from both the agriculture and nutrition fields, but also by donors with an interest in funding nutrition and/ or agriculture for development and experts working on implementing development projects designed to improve nutrition outcomes. The presentations and discussions confirmed conclusions of earlier meetings that the pathways from agricultural research to improved nutrition are complex and that inter-disciplinary research coupled with multi-sectoral implementation is required.

ISPC Commentary on the Revised Proposal for CRP 4: Agriculture for Improved Nutrition & Health

The ISPC recommends that the revised CRP 4 proposal be approved subject to further revisions to be addressed during the implementation phase taking into account the f...

Identification of IspC, an 86-kilodalton protein target of humoral immune response to infection with Listeria monocytogenes serotype 4b, as a novel surface autolysin.

We identified and biochemically characterized a novel surface-localized autolysin from Listeria monocytogenes serotype 4b, an 86-kDa protein consisting of 774 amino acids and known from our previous studies as the target (designated IspC) of the humoral immune response to listerial infection. Recombinant IspC, expressed in Escherichia coli, was purified and used to raise specific rabbit polyclo...

ISPC effect is not observed when the word comes too late: a time course analysis

The item-specific proportion congruency (ISPC) effect is demonstrated by a smaller Stroop effect observed for mostly incongruent items compared to mostly congruent items. Currently, there is a continuing debate on whether conflict driven item-specific control processes or stimulus-response contingency learning account for the ISPC effect. In the present study, we conducted two experiments to in...
