Influence of labor migration on rural household food waste in China: Application of propensity score matching (PSM)

Food waste has emerged as a critical global concern, with households identified as major contributors to this pressing issue. As the world grapples with sustainability challenges, addressing food waste in the context of rural labor migration is crucial for achieving broader sustainable development goals. However, there is still limited research regarding the relationship between labor migration and food waste. We utilized propensity score matching to analyze cross-sectional data collected from 1270 rural households in China. Labor migration led to significant increases of 37% in overall food waste and 35% in plant-based food waste, respectively. Furthermore, households with labor migration exhibited 29%, 31%, and 30 % higher energy, protein, and carbohydrate waste, respectively, compared to non-migration households. Regarding micronutrients, migration led to a 39% increase in iron waste, a 42% increase in zinc waste, and a 47% increase in selenium waste. The results of the categorical analysis indicate variations in the impact of labor migration on food wastage within rural households. Food wastage in rural households with chronic illness patients responds differently to labor migration. Moreover, labor migration predominantly affects households without courier services in villages, where dietary diversity plays a significant role. Understanding these variations is essential for crafting targeted interventions and policies to address food waste in different rural contexts. The policy implications of our study are crucial for addressing food waste and advancing sustainable development in rural China, where labor migration plays a significant role.

This presentation demonstrates project in developmental stages & basic operational facts. Initially started as practically oriented guidance center & later developed in well‐organized set‐up offering free rehabilitation services in villages. It comprises NGO staff and traditional faith healers.ResultOur program highlights variability of psychological & Socio‐medical aspects in rehabilitation. Patents needed medical interventions in 18%, psychological approaches in 84% while remaining 16% needed combination of both.ConclusionThis is pilot project running on community donation. We plan to document, evaluate this in large sample size, but resource restriction didn’t permit. To overcome this, we plan networking of European NGO’s, advocacy experts at AAIC‐2023 Venue for better study design, technical support & collaborative efforts. I do not claim “I transformed whole community of patients but we had certainly taken initiative by this cost‐effective approach”.

Impact Assessment of Elevation Angles on Signal Propagation at VHF and UHF Frequencies for Improved Rural Telephony

Rural telephony is challenging in the remote part of Nigeria due to inadequate telecommunication infrastructure, exorbitant cost of communication systems and poor road network for extension of fiber network. These factors constitute poor or no cellular network services in many villages. Alternatively, using Television White Space (TVWS) technology to facilitate telephony services in the rural areas through Ultra High Frequency (UHF) and Very High Frequency (VHF) spectrum is cost effective. Thus, this research investigates impact of elevation angle on signal propagation at UHF/VHF frequencies. The experimental test scenarios took measurements of received signal quality performance at different elevation angles and transmit power levels to obtain more stable results for substantive inference. The experimental test scenario considered a communication link, operating at UHF frequency of 436 MHz. During the experiment, azimuth and propagation loss for the communication link were kept constant while the receiving antenna elevation angles were varied to assess the impact of elevation angles. The assessment examined results obtained during the experiment. Comparing the received signal quality performance at zero (00) elevation angle, it has been observed that the received signal quality improves when the transmit power allocation increases. Results further show that for a given transmit power level of 34dBm, at zero (00) elevation angle test configuration, received signal quality performance of 1.80 dB, 6.90 dB at 300 elevation angle and 10.9 dB at 600 elevation angle were obtained, compared to improved quality performance of 11.8 dB at 00 elevation angle, 19.90 dB at 300 elevation angle and 24.92 dB at 600 elevation angle when the transmit power level was increased to 46.98 dBm. It is deduced from the experimental results that elevation angle of receiving antenna has significant influence on the received signal quality performance. This insight is very useful in the design and network planning of rural telecommunication services using TVWS frequencies for improved rural broadband penetration.

Finding a Neue Gemeinschaft in rural Indonesia: A discussion of forest community digital transformation

Launching the Indonesia Digital Roadmap 2021–2024 will highlight the importance of preparing villages to succeed in supporting the sustainable transformation of forest communities. In this study, we investigate how digital technology has impacted forests. We discuss the causes of socioeconomic developments and how they can sustain forests. The introduction of online public services in villages has stimulated the enthusiasm of forest communities to become technologically savvy. Entrepreneurs and development groups are becoming motivated as their demand for digital technology increases. The complex coordination between the digital leadership of multiple entities and institutional networks is required for these developments. The digital divide and other challenges are addressed to build sophisticated forest communities by creating a community with a digital mindset and providing local assistance through online public services. With digital technology previously unknown to forest communities, a new community was developed and transformed into a digitally-based forest community (Neue Gemeinschaft). However, to ensure the continuation of economic activity in forest communities, the local government's policy of implementing digital road maps in villages requires support. Therefore, forest village development can be sustainable with a significant impact. Livelihood and welfare enhancements still require a lengthy time frame. This finding further supports the idea that digital transformation policy is a valuable social innovation for designing forest community sustainability strategies. In addition, this transformation demonstrates the potential opportunity for forest communities to be swiftly equal to cities.

Contributing barriers to loss to follow up from antenatal care services in villages around Addis Ababa: a qualitative study

BackgroundProblems during pregnancy, childbirth and postpartum are the major contributors to maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality. Focused antenatal care is an intervention set to provide basic services for pregnant women, to reduce morbidity and mortality related to pregnancy. In Ethiopia, there is a significant loss to follow up from antenatal care services between the first and fourth visits. The aim of this study is to explore the potential contributing barriers to loss to follow up of pregnant women from antenatal care services in villages around Addis Ababa, the capital city of the country.MethodsA qualitative research method was used, where 20 in-depth interviews (zonal, woreda and health center managers, midwives and health extension workers were the participants) and three focus group discussions (mothers who were lost to follow up, mothers who completed four sessions of antenatal care visits, and community volunteers were the participants) were conducted. A qualitative data analysis software, ATLAS.ti 8, was applied.ResultsInability to deliver essential antenatal care services which occurs primarily due to shortage of the required medical equipment, drugs, and other supplies is a major barrier for sustainable attendance of antenatal care services followed by poor care, respect, and receptiveness of service providers. Lack and cost of transport as well as partners’ approval and support were also claimed to be part of the major barriers. Community culture and pervious maternal experiences as well as maternal sociodemographic factors like maternal age at time of pregnancy and educational status of mothers were also reported as barriers to seeking and completion of antenatal care services.ConclusionsBoth demand and supply side barriers play a significant role in the loss to follow up from antenatal care services. Availing essential antenatal care services, closer to the community by improving the infrastructure, health workforce and supply chain system is recommended.
