BACKGROUND Navajo Nation Community Health Representatives (CHR) are trained community health workers (CHWs) who provide crucial services for patients and families. The success of the CHRs' interventions depends on the interactions between the CHRs and their clients. This research investigates the culturally specific factors that build and sustain the CHR-client interaction. METHODS In-depth i...

BACKGROUND As the prevalence of obesity increases in developing countries, the double burden of malnutrition (DBM) has become a public health problem, particularly in countries such as Guatemala with a high concentration of indigenous communities where the prevalence of stunting remains high. OBJECTIVE The aim was to describe and analyze the prevalence of DBM over time (1998-2008) in indigeno...

Kurzfassung In diesem Artikel werden zwei Simulationen für Fußgängerverkehr vorgestellt. Beide beru-hen auf einem Zellularautomaten–Modell. Das erste Modell beschreibt die grundsätzliche Bewegung von Fußgängern zwei entgegengesetzter Laufrichtung in einem langen Gang. Das zweite Modell stellt eine Evakuierungssimulation dar, die für verschiedene Problem-stellungen angewandt wird.

Increased global use of highly productive breeds of farm animals has been coupled to loss of genetic diversity in most species. In European countries, various governmental, non-governmental, and private organizations try to preserve genetic diversity of livestock in situ (e.g., by stimulating the use of indigenous, rare breeds by farmers; in nature reserves; or in noncommercial farms). In the c...

to determine the effect of graded levels of low glucosinolate CM, up to complete replacement of soybean meal, on the performance of laying hens. Wheat-based diets were formulated on a digestible amino acid basis with 4 levels of CM (0 to 16.7%) and fed to 3 commercial laying hen strains, Lohmann Brown (LOH), ISA Brown (ISA), and Lohmann LSL (LSL). Rations were fed from 19 to 59 wks of age, with...

Duyun has been a multi-ethnic area since ancient times, and its grammar influenced by both Chinese local minority languages. This paper is intended to compare the usages of hen-family in dialect, Mandarin, languages from perspective language contact, trace origin xən35 dialect examining evolution hen Chinese. It proposed that prepositive usage historical continuation during Yuan, Ming, Qing dyn...

The effects of housing systems on the calcium requirement for eggshell production, eggshell quality and on the breaking strength of the hen’s tibia were evaluated. Unenriched cages (UN) (24 laying hens), enriched cages (EN) (16 laying hens) and floor system (FS) (24 laying hens) were used in this experiment. The eggshell production of laying hens from 19 to 66 weeks of age was higher (P < 0.01)...

Introduction: Before 2010, prescribed home enteral nutrition (HEN) in Murcia was characterized by the great variability of the receptor patients, in addition to a higher use compared with other geographical areas. Objectives: Developing and describing a clinical pathway for attending candidates for HEN, and analyzing their profi le and prescription characteristics. Methods: Establishment of ...

Egg yolk oil is a natural source of bioactive compounds such as unsaturated fatty acids, oil soluble vitamins, pigments and others. Bioactive compound content in egg yolk oil depends from its content in eggs, from which oil was extracted. Many studies show that bioactive compound content in egg is correlated to the content of these compounds in hen feed, but there is also an opinion that hen ho...

We report the results of our spectroscopic observations (3600–5900 Å, R ≃ 16 000 and 5750–8750 Å, R ≃ 11 000) of three southern emission-line B–type stars associated with IRAS sources, HD 85567, Hen 3–140, and Hen 3–1398, whose nature and evolutionary state are not well-established yet. We also obtained new multicolour photometry of HD 85567 (UBV (RI)cJHKL) and Hen 3–140 (JHKLM). A large near-I...
