What is Climate?01:16

What is Climate?

19.3K
Climate refers to the prevailing weather conditions in a specific area over an extended period. As the saying goes, “Climate is what you expect. Weather is what you get.” Climate is influenced by geographic factors, such as latitude, terrain, and proximity to bodies of water.

Certain organic substances change color in dilute solution when the hydronium ion concentration reaches a particular value. For example, phenolphthalein is a colorless substance in any aqueous solution with a hydronium ion concentration greater than 5.0 × 10−9 M (pH < 8.3). In more basic solutions where the hydronium ion concentration is less than 5.0 × 10−9 M (pH > 8.3), it is red or pink. Substances such as phenolphthalein, which can be used to determine the pH of a solution, are...

Threats to Biodiversity

There have been five major extinction events throughout geological history, resulting in the elimination of biodiversity, followed by a rebound of species that adapted to the new conditions. In the current geological epoch, the Holocene, there is a sixth extinction event in progress. This mass extinction has been attributed to human activities and is thus provisionally called the Anthropocene. In 2019 the human population reached 7.7 billion people and is projected to comprise 10 billion by...

As the human population continues to grow and use resources, we must be mindful of our planet’s natural limits. Sustainable development provides a pathway to maintain and improve human life now while also ensuring that future generations will have the resources that they need. The long-term success of sustainability efforts rests on understanding the interplay between human actions and ecological systems.

Key Elements for Plant Nutrition02:35

Key Elements for Plant Nutrition

22.3K
Like all living organisms, plants require organic and inorganic nutrients to survive, reproduce, grow and maintain homeostasis. To identify nutrients that are essential for plant functioning, researchers have leveraged a technique called hydroponics. In hydroponic culture systems, plants are grown—without soil—in water-based solutions containing nutrients. At least 17 nutrients have been identified as essential elements required by plants. Plants acquire these elements from the...

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Health Promotion
  • Environmental Health

Background:

  • Food security is a key determinant of health and a growing focus for health promotion initiatives.
  • Existing conceptual frameworks for food security indicators in the Global North were lacking.
  • Environmental health indicator frameworks were identified as the most relevant models for reporting.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To outline the development process of an evidence-based conceptual framework for selecting food security indicators.
  • To guide the systematic selection of food security indicators within the Province.
  • To address the gap in evaluating public health responses to food security.

Main Methods:

  • A phased, iterative approach was employed for framework development.
  • Phase 1 involved a literature search and key informant discussions.
  • Phase 2 incorporated stakeholder consultation to modify the model.

Main Results:

  • No specific conceptual frameworks for food security indicators in the Global North were found in the literature.
  • A novel matrix framework was developed, integrating environmental health causal networks with food security elements.
  • The framework incorporates individual/household food insecurity, food systems, and capacity.

Conclusions:

  • The developed framework provides a comprehensive approach to food security performance monitoring in the Global North.
  • It fills a critical gap in evaluating the impact of public health interventions on food security.
  • The framework aids program planners and policymakers in assessing, influencing, and monitoring food security initiatives.
