Introduction: Maternal and child health, which is integral to public health, depends on maintaining a healthy diet during pregnancy and lactation to achieve optimal outcomes. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence and determinants of minimum dietary diversity (MDD) among pregnant and lactating women (PLW) in this particular context.
Methods: A stratified cluster sampling approach was employed, encompassing intervention areas (Rangpur and Nilphamari in Bangladesh) as strata, with 30 clusters.
Protein-based ultrafine fibrous scaffolds can mimic the native extracellular matrices (ECMs) with regard to the morphology and chemical composition but suffer from poor mechanical and wet stability. As a result, cells cannot get a true three-dimensional (3D) environment as they find in native ECMs. In this study, an epoxide, ethylene glycol diglycidylether (EGDE), with high reactivity to active hydrogen is introduced to gelatin solution, serving as an effective cross-linker.

- Developed a flexible model for estimating upper limit populations of long-tailed macaques using camera trap images and habitat preference mapping.
- The model combines environmental data, GPS data, and direct sightings to produce estimated population numbers, optimized through a parameter representing inquisitiveness.
- Results indicate that long-tailed macaque populations are up to 80% smaller than expected, highlighting the model's accuracy and potential as a noninvasive tool for wildlife conservation across species.
Weaving is one of the most popular fabric manufacturing techniques. The weaving process consists of 3 major stages: warping, sizing, and weaving. The weaving factory henceforth involves a lot of data.
