A pluralistic, socio-ecological approach to understand the long-term impact of mountain conservation: a counterfactual and place-based assessment of social, ecological and hydrolog... by Holden, Petra Brigitte

“…Vegetation and land use/cover change inside the protected area were determined respectively using 72 repeat terrestrial photographs and vegetation surveys, and an analysis of orthorectified aerial imagery. Methods used to construct the counterfactual scenarios of mechanisms (e.g. changes in land use/cover) that would likely drive vegetation changes inside the protected area included: i) 60 repeat surveys and in-depth interviews with landowners adjacent or proximal to the protected area owning unprotected land of similar terrain to the protected area; and ii) land use/cover change analysis of orthorectified aerial imagery of adjacent unprotected land of similar terrain before and after protected area establishment. 4 This latter information was used to understand the role of the protected area in driving vegetation changes inside the protected area. …”

Early infant breastfeeding practices, and predictors of breastfeeding cessation, in HIV-uninfected and HIV-infected mothers on antiretroviral treatment: a prospective cohort study by Theunissen, Helene Cornelia

“…Among infants who ever received EBF (754/872, 86%), median EBF duration was 1.4 (0.2-3.1) months. HEU vs HU infants were more likely to ever EBF (91% vs 81%, p <0.0001), with longer durations of EBF (median 1.5 vs 1.4 months, p=0.01; HR for EBF cessation, 0.78 [95% CI 0.67-0.9]). …”

Characteristics and outcomes of children, adolescents and young adults on antiretroviral therapy in Southern Africa, incorporating additional outcome ascertainment through linkage... by Nyakato, Patience

“…This is followed by the literature review (Chapter 2) which gives a comprehensive discussion on virologic outcomes among adolescents, LTFU, ascertaining outcomes among CAYHIV reported as LTFU and correction of programme-level mortality estimates for LTFU among all CAYHIV using outcomes ascertained through tracing or linkage studies. Chapters 3 and 4 examine virologic outcomes and early LTFU among younger adolescents (10-14 years, Chapter 3) and older adolescents (15-19 years, Chapter 4), with a sub-analysis among those initiating treatment during pregnancy. …”

Phase equilibria studies and beneficiation of titaniferous slags by Goso, Xolisa Camagu
