Unlocking gut microbiota potential of dairy cows in varied environmental conditions using shotgun metagenomic approach.

Food security and environmental pollution are major concerns for the expanding world population, where farm animals are the largest source of dietary proteins and are responsible for producing anthropogenic gases, including methane, especially by cows. We sampled the fecal microbiomes of cows from varying environmental regions of Pakistan to determine the better-performing microbiomes for higher yields and lower methane emissions by applying the shotgun metagenomic approach. We selected managed dairy farms in the Chakwal, Salt Range, and Patoki regions of Pakistan, and also incorporated animals from local farmers.

The thriving kids and parents schools project: protocol of an incomplete stepped wedged cluster randomised trial evaluating the effectiveness of a Triple P seminar series.

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted the normality of daily life for many children, their families, and schools, resulting in heightened levels of anxiety, depression, social isolation, and loneliness among young people. An integrated public health model of interventions is needed to address the problem and to safeguard the mental health and wellbeing of children. The Triple P - Positive Parenting Program is one system of parenting support with a strong evidence-base and wide international reach.

Science Cafés and Local Dissemination: Fulfilling the Responsibilities of Community-Engaged Research.

This report describes a Science Café innovation, using an interpreter to translate remarks and engage three underserved Minnesota communities. It also illustrates how translational research can emphasize community benefit by combining longer-term knowledge production goals with shorter-term goals such as developing materials that are responsive to community health literacy needs.
