Temperature and Farm Labor in Nigeria

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We estimate the impact of temperature shocks on the composition of farm labor in rural Nigeria using a nationally representative household panel survey. Leveraging plausibly exogenous year‐to‐year variation in growing season temperatures, we find that warmer temperatures significantly alter farm labor composition, prompting a substantial shift

Energy Requirements for Frail Elderly Females.

Nippon Ronen Igakkai Zasshi. Japanese Journal of Geriatrics, 1993
About half the residents living in nursing homes and homes for the elderly show activity factor values less than 0.25 in daily living. However, the current Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDA) have been intended to apply to self-supporting and healthy elderly persons rather than bedridden elderly persons. Accordingly, current RDA tables do not indicate

A falls prevention programme to improve quality of life, physical function and falls efficacy in older people receiving home help services: study protocol for a randomised controlled trial [PDF]

, 2017
BACKGROUND: Falls and fall-related injuries in older adults are associated with great burdens, both for the individuals, the health care system and the society. Previous research has shown evidence for the efficiency of exercise as falls prevention.

The association between lower urinary tract symptoms and falls: forming a theoretical model for a research agenda [PDF]

, 2017
Background: There is a well-recognised association between falls and lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) in older adults, with estimates of odd ratios for falls in the presence of LUTS ranging between 1.5 and 2.3. Falls and LUTS are both highly prevalent

Copper Contact for Perovskite Solar Cells: Properties, Interfaces, and Scalable Integration

Advanced Energy and Sustainability Research, EarlyView.
Copper electrodes, as low‐cost, scalable contacts for perovskite solar cells, offer several advantages over precious metals such as Au and Ag, including performance, cost, deposition methods, and interfacial engineering. Copper (Cu) electrodes are increasingly considered practical, sustainable alternatives to noble‐metal contacts in perovskite solar ...
