Study Site. The sampling was conducted at an isolated limestone hill, Mount Silabur, Serian, Sarawak, Malaysian Borneo (00°57.407’N, 110°30.276’E). Mount Silabur is approximately 350 metres high and measures roughly 500 by 300 metres. The cave entrance is about 150 metres from the foot of the hill. The cave itself consists of a main chamber connecting the opposite sides of the hill. There are multiple high xxxxxxxx (Xxxxxxx, 1964) that we excluded from our sampling for safety reasons. Our first fieldwork was on the 3rd of March 2017, when random sampling was carried out at two locations at the limestone outcrops and one location in the cave. The second sampling took place on the 16th of April 2017, when we conducted systematic sampling and sketched a map of the cave system in which we also indicated the location of the plots (Figure 4.1). Populations of hydrocenids were collected at 19 different plots surrounding the outcrops and inside of the cave.
Study Site. A. General Information Field work for this project took place in Cimarron County, Oklahoma, just north of Kenton, Oklahoma at The Nature Conservancy/Oklahoma State Parks Black Mesa Preserve. The areas surveyed included shortgrass prairie and Juniperus monosperma woodland habitats. Soil types encountered included Apache stony clay loam, Berthoud loam, Rough stony land, and Travesilla stony loam. Species encountered included Aristida spp., Buchloe dactyloides, Bouteloua curtipendua, B. gracilis, B. hirsuta, Chaetopappa ericoides, Comandra pallida, Dalea formosa, Echinocereus viridis, Melampodium leucantheum, Opuntia imbricata, O. polyacantha, O. phaeacantha, Tetraneuris scaposa, and Yucca glauca. These habitats, soils, and species are all known to be associated with populations of Asclepias uncialis.
Study Site. The Mamanieva Project was a proof-of-concept study being implemented by World Vision in two sections of World Vision’s Bum Chiefdom Area Development from April 2013 – November 2016. Bum Chiefdom is in Bonthe District in the southern province of Sierra Leone and is predominantly made up of the Mende tribe. The population is approximately 23,000 and the main economic activities are agriculture, fishing, and xxxxx trading. The land is comprised of two main habitats, the main land and the riverine areas, with most the population living on the main land. Xxxxx section and Fikie section, acting as intervention and control, were selected for the study because of their near year-round accessibility. Intervention Description The project utilized the grandmother-engaged approach developed by Xxxx Xxxxx. The approach is grounded in formative research and builds on GMs’ culturally traditional roles as caregivers and advisors. Following mixed methods formative research conducted in April 2013 (Xxxx-Xxxxxx & Xxx, 2015) , World Vision implemented the Mamanieva Project to positively impact maternal and child nutrition outcomes through empowering GMs as key players of promoting positive change surrounding optimal maternal child and nutrition knowledge, attitudes, and practices. The intervention used adult education methods to engage and empower GMs through dialogue. Key activities included monthly participatory education sessions (Mui, 2015) promoting key nutrition messages and quarterly intergenerational community praise sessions affirming GMs as change agents for maternal and child health.
Study Site. The research team obtained the data for this study from Xxxxx Memorial Hospital, in Atlanta, GA. Xxxxx Hospital is the largest hospital in the city of Atlanta, and the fifth- largest public hospital in the United States (“Xxxxx Memorial Hospital,” 2017). This hospital serves a large proportion of low-income patients and provides services to those with private insurance, public insurance, and those who are uninsured (“Xxxxx Memorial Hospital,” 2017). Xxxxx Hospital is one of the busiest Level I trauma centers in the United States, making it an ideal place for patients experiencing seizures to report. Sample Size Of the 25,865 patients in the total dataset, 19,905 patients were excluded from analyses for a lack of seizure event, ICD-9 780.39. From the selection of 5,960 patients with a seizure event, another 2,377 were excluded from the study sample because they were not prescribed any AEDs in their medical records. Next, patients were excluded if they did not have physician visits every three months. The final sample of patients included in the analyses was 126 patients. Figure 4 is Consort flow diagram explaining the process of analytic sample selection (Xxxxx & Xxxxxxx, 2015).
Study Site. The village of Calhuitz in the municipality of San Sebastián Coatán in the department of Huehuetenango lies high in the mountains of Guatemala‘s western highlands. The residents of Calhuitz are indigenous Maya Chuj, the majority of whom practice Catholicism and are agriculturalists, many practicing subsistence agriculture and living in relative poverty. The village is very remote, approximately five hours in private vehicle from the departmental capital of Huehuetenango, where the closest national hospital is located, and transportation is limited with but one, daily round trip to Huehuetenango leaving at 4:00 a.m. While Calhuitz has no paved roads, it does have electricity and piped plumbing although the water is not potable and must be treated at point of use for safe consumption. The village has few shops that provide some basic necessities such as eggs, corn flour, and toilet paper. To purchase most of their consumer and food products, residents will either walk or bus a few kilometers downhill to the town of San Xxxx Pueblo Nuevo which has various stores and an open air market every Friday, the only day with regular microbus transportation between Calhuitz and San Xxxx. There is one community pharmacy located in Calhuitz which is adjoined to the Casa Materna maternity clinic. The Casa Materna (CM) serves not only the community of Calhuitz, where it is located, but also 25 surrounding communities. The services they provide include weighing and counseling of children, vaccination, supplementation, prenatal consults, family planning, health education for children and community members, continuing education for traditional birth attendants (TBAs), and general consults and emergency care at the clinic in addition to child delivery. The majority of newborns in Calhuitz are delivered at the CM with the assistance of the nurses and a TBA while the children in the surrounding communities are usually delivered in the home assisted by a TBA. Population and Sample In order to address breastfeeding and complementary feeding practices of children aged one to 12 months, 13 women of childbearing age with infants within that age range were chosen as the primary participants due to the fact that, many times, they are the primary caregivers. In order to collect data across the entire timeframe, women from each of the following approximate postnatal periods were selected: one month, three months, six months, nine months, and 12 months. Venue-based recruitment was conduct...

Study Site. A part of the boreal region considered in this work is situated between latitudes 67°N and 56°N and longitudes 30°E and 38°E in European part of Russia. The natural waters of the north of boreal region, North Karelia (1) and the south of boreal region, Central Russia (2) were chosen as the objects of the study (Fig. 1.4). There are basins of the Vostochniy Stream, Palojoki River, Senga River, Ignatkovo Lake and the bog of Tsipringa lake basin. Figure 1.4. Map of the European boreal zone (Source: EEA. UNEP/GRID Warsaw final map production from xxxx://xxx.xxx.xxxxxx.xx) with the studied Karelia area (1) and Central Russia area (2). The river Palojoki flows out of Kivakkalampi Lake, it drains the rocky massif Kivakka from the south and empties into Pyaozero Lake. The river has a rapid current; its length is about 9 km and relative altitude of 155 m. The bedrock composition of the catchement are micro-pegmatic granites, granosyenites, syenites, syenit-diorites of the low-Proterozoic, biotite garanitogneisses and tributary biotite, biotite-amphibolite and amphibolite gneisses and amphibolites of the low-Archean ang glassial deposits of Quarternary. The stream Vostochniy flows from west to east and empties into the lake Tsipringa. Its length is about 1 km and relative altitude of 50 m, the catchment area is of 0.95 km2. The bedrock of the catchment is amphibolitic gabbroids of the low-Proterozoic of the Olanga groupe intruzive.
Study Site. Arm 1 - Intervention 1 This bit (in reference to ‘homestead food production’) should be stronger for improved production and its links to nutrition both from dietary diversity and improved purchasing power. Response 5: I have included interventions that build women’s skills to purchase more nutritious food. This is explained in the VSLA descriptions in Appendix F on Page 100.
