Article Synopsis
- New satellite remote sensing and machine learning techniques are enhancing the ability to monitor global biodiversity efficiently and accurately.
- A deep learning pipeline was developed to automatically identify and count migratory ungulates (wildebeest and zebra) in the Serengeti-Mara ecosystem using high-resolution satellite imagery, yielding impressive results.
- The study shows that these advanced technologies can accurately count large populations of mammals across diverse habitats, potentially improving our understanding of animal behavior and ecology.
Household Dietary Diversity among Households with and without Children with Disabilities in Three Low-Income Communities in Lusaka, Zambia.
Int J Environ Res Public Health
January 2023
The purpose of this manuscript is to describe household dietary diversity (HDDS) in Lusaka, Zambia between households with and without a child with a disability living in the same communities. Cross-sectional data were collected in three low-income compounds in September 2021. Participants included households with a child with a disability enrolled in Kusamala+, a community-based program, ( = 444) and a convenience sample of adults living in the same area without a child with a disability ( = 1027).

- Climatic variability, resource availability, and human impacts shape the home range size of African elephants in Namibia, which helps to understand their behavior and distribution.
- The study found that average home range size was around 2,200 km², with precipitation and vegetation being the main factors influencing this size across different regions.
- Elephants showed a strong preference for protected areas, spending about 85% of their tracked time within these safe zones, indicating a mix of natural and human-influenced space use.
Objective: Determine reproducibility of resistance exercise regimens in trials for CLBP and determine if recently available checklists are effective.
Methods: Four databases (Medline, PubMed, Cochrane and CINAHL) were searched for keywords related to back pain and resistance exercise. Reproducibility was assessed using two checklists, the 12-item Template for Intervention Description and Replication (TIDieR) and the 19-item Consensus on Exercise Reporting Template (CERT).
