Quantifying, Projecting, and Addressing India's Hidden Hunger [PDF]

Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems, 2018
It is estimated that more than two billion people suffer from 'hidden hunger' (micronutrient malnutrition) globally, with nearly half living in India. Despite being highlighted as one the most cost-effective investments for human development, progress on addressing micronutrient deficiencies (MiND) has been slowing.

Overcoming the Phase Discontinuity Problem in RIS Optimization: A Robust and Scalable Phase‐Aware Deep Regression Framework via Hybrid CNN–LSTM Architecture

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
The phase discontinuity problem—where the cyclic nature of phase angles causes catastrophic errors near the ±π boundary—is a fundamental obstacle in learning‐based reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) optimization. A phase‐aware hybrid CNN–LSTM framework resolves this by decomposing phase predictions into sine–cosine components, mapping circular ...

Heat Stress and Gut Microbiome Dynamics in Poultry: Interplay, Consequences, and Mitigation Strategies

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
Heat stress disrupts gut microbial balance in poultry, impairing nutrient absorption and immunity. This review outlines the interplay between thermal stress and microbiome dynamics and discusses integrative mitigation strategies, probiotics, phytogenics, cooling systems, and genetic adaptation to enhance poultry resilience.

Children's food activism: Reflections on knowledge and responsibility

British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Children as activists have become more prominent in recent years. Their activism is manifest in relation to conspicuously political topics such as Black Lives Matter, voting rights, being able to air their views or protesting against injustices related to race, culture and other identities. Less often, if at all, do children engage politically

Animal empathy reconsidered: a multidimensional profile account

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Empathy is the glue that holds societies together and yet several fundamental questions about empathy persist. What is empathy (the definitional question)? Is it uniquely human and, if not, which nonhuman animals possess empathy (the distribution question)? Which type or quality of empathy is realized in different species (the quality question)

Shaping Energy Transitions: Sectoral Demand, Climate Risk Exposure, and Renewable Pathways in Sub‐Saharan Africa

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Energy is a fundamental driver of economic growth, shaping productivity, industrialization, and long‐term economic resilience. In sub‐Saharan Africa (SSA), where energy access remains uneven and infrastructure is underdeveloped, understanding sector‐specific energy demand is essential for designing sustainable energy strategies.
