Determinants of gender-equitable attitudes among adult men in a health education program: a cross-sectional study in Southern Malawi.

Background: Malawi ranks 142 out of 170 countries on the UN's Gender Inequality Index (GII). Women and men in Malawi have unequal access to and control over resources. Previous research has primarily examined gender roles and norms from a women's perspective, but few studies have investigated men's attitudes and behaviors regarding gender equality.

Assessing the Distribution of Exotic Egg Parasitoids of in Europe with a Large-Scale Monitoring Program.

The brown marmorated stink bug is an invasive agricultural pest with a worldwide distribution. Classical biological control has been identified as the most promising method to reduce the populations of . Adventive populations of two candidates for releases, and , have recently been detected in Europe.

Epidemiological transition and double burden of diseases in low-income countries: the case of Mozambique.

Epidemiological transition theory aims to describe changes in epidemiological scenarios at the global and national level. The assumption is the shift from infectious diseases (IDs) to non-communicable diseases (NCDs). Some authors argue that this theory failed to describe epidemiology in sub-Saharan Africa.

Can Be Used for Augmentative Biological Control of the Brown Marmorated Stink Bug in Fruit Orchards?

The generalist egg parasitoid (Geoffroy) (Hymenoptera: Eupelmidae) is the most prevalent egg parasitoid of the invasive (Stål) (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) in Europe. To assess its efficacy against the pest and to validate the potential risks for non-target species in a realistic field setting, inundative releases were conducted over three consecutive years in four fruit orchards in Switzerland and Italy. In total, more than 4300 females were released, which was equivalent to 11,000 to 26,000 females per hectare, depending on distances between trees in each orchard.

Early assessment of weight velocity can support frontline health workers in predicting malnutrition in HIV-exposed infants: preliminary results from a DREAM cohort in Malawi.

Background: Children born to HIV-positive mothers are particularly susceptible to malnutrition. Currently, monitoring programs rely on punctual anthropometric measurements to assess child growth. Growth velocities could be an additional tool in identifying critical time windows for prevention and implementation of early intervention for malnutrition.
