OBJECTIVE To determine whether an active rural lifestyle during childhood and adolescence, defined as low farm mechanization, was associated with bone measures later in life. METHODS DXA bone data from total body, hip and spine, and pQCT data from 4% and 20% distal radius were obtained on 330 individuals (157 women) aged 20-66 years who farmed at least 75% of their lives. Primary bone outcome...

<p class="A04-abstrak2"><span>Smart farming 4.0 based on artificial intelligence is a flagship launched by the Ministry of Agriculture. Smart encourages farmers to work more efficient, measurable, and integrated. Through technology, are able carry out farm practice relying mechanization, not planting season, from harvesting accurately. Several smart technologies such as blockchain f...

Agriculture is considered in all parts of the world, especially developed countries, main source livelihood and progress, it has become wrong or illogical to increase agricultural production either horizontally through reclamation new non-arable lands vertically using advanced methods if agriculture relied on primitive methods. The mechanization field concerned with, first foremost, comprehensi...

The number of studies on small-scale fishing communities has grown considerably over the past 30 years. Evidence on how the process of mechanization and technological expansion has affected traditional small-scale fishers in peripheral regions, however, is less abundant. For areas like Eastern Indonesia that are now facing important challenges in governance and resource degradation, lack of inf...

The central issues with which this study is concerned revolve around the major determinants of agricultural export instability in Nigeria. Specifically, the study examined the relationship between oil export and the agricultural export performance in Nigeria. In trying to achieve this objective, an ordinary least square multiple regression approach was adopted for the data analysis. Some statis...

In this work, two Italian regions (Emilia Romagna, in Northern Italy, and Campania, in Southern Italy) are compared on the basis of an emergy evaluation carried out over the last 20 years. The regions show very different productive and institutional structures, which affect the overall performance. The Campania region is characterized by the presence of a high number of small productive units (...

Most donkey and local horse breeds are vulnerable to extinction as mechanization of agriculture progress throughout the world. The present study analyzed the pedigree and herd records of the donkey Asinina de Miranda breed (RAM), identifying genealogical and human factors that may affect the breed genetic diversity in the future and suggesting suitable strategies to breed preservation, early on...

Today, agriculture industry has a significant impact in global greenhouse gas emissions. A large amount of pollutants come from diesel internal combustion engines, widely used agricultural machinery. Since mechanization is fundamental to achieve proper food production for growing human population, changes are needed common engineering thinking order develop new farming machinery that could outp...
