Wideband Current Transducer Traceable Calibration up to 10 A and 1 MHz.

Energy efficiency is an important issue in industry, especially with the ever-increasing consumption of electrical energy. The power quality and the traceability of metering devices are essential when integrating energy metering systems for energy efficiency. This management requires an understanding of electrical current events such as pulse and transient currents.

[Déterminants de la qualité de vie liée à la santé chez les adolescents : le rôle de la diète méditerranéenne].

Background: A number of physical, emotional, cognitive and psychological changes shape the adolescence phase, which may influence health and well-being. Therefore, it is important to develop healthy eating habits that will persist into adulthood.

Objective: This study was conducted in order to investigate in depth the association between components of the Mediterranean diet (MD) and health-related quality of life (HRQoL), along with its different subscales, among Lebanese adolescent students attending schools in Tripoli, North Lebanon.

Breastfeeding and complementary feeding in fragile settings: the case of Syrian refugees and their host communities in North Lebanon.

Background: Adequate breastfeeding and complementary feeding practices are paramount in fragile situations where access to food and healthcare is limited. The objectives of this study are to examine breastfeeding and complementary feeding practices among Syrian refugees and their Lebanese host communities and to investigate the correlates of exclusive breastfeeding (EBF) at four and 6 months in these communities.

Methods: Using two-stage stratified sampling, a cross-sectional survey was conducted in Akkar, a region with a high density of Syrian refugees in Lebanon, between April and November 2019.

Evaluation of circulating levels of Interleukin-10 and Interleukin-16 and dietary inflammatory index in Lebanese knee osteoarthritis patients.

Objectives: To investigate plasma concentrations of Interleukin-16 (IL-16) and Interleukin-10 (IL-10) in Lebanese knee osteoarthritis (KOA) patients and to examine the association between the diet-associated inflammation and increased risk for KOA.

Methods: A total of 208 study participants were assigned to one of the 3 groups: Diagnosed Knee Osteoarthritis group (DKOA) (N = 78); Undiagnosed Knee Osteoarthritis group (UKOA) (N = 60) and controls matched on age, sex and sociodemographic characteristics (N = 70). UKOA represents KOA features before they are altered by therapeutic intervention and lifestyle modifications that follow the diagnosis.

Mediterranean diet adherence amongst adolescents in North Lebanon: the role of skipping meals, meals with the family, physical activity and physical well-being.

The Mediterranean diet (MD) is a model of a healthy diet and healthy lifestyle. Adherence to the MD has been correlated with a reduction in many metabolic disorders including cancers. The factors associated with adolescents' adherence to the MD in North Lebanon using the KIDMED index have never been explored.
