Plant Growth and Arthropod Assemblage Metrics on Sapindus saponaria Fertilized With Dehydrated Municipal Sewage Sludge

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
Under the conditions evaluated, dehydrated municipal sewage sludge increased branches per plant and ground cover in Sapindus saponaria and increased cumulative arthropod observations and species richness in selected groups. Exploratory multivariate patterns did not demonstrate direct causal plant–arthropod relationships.

Association of Water, Sanitation, Hygiene and Animal Ownership With Relapse to Acute Malnutrition Among Children Aged 6–59 Months in Mali, South Sudan and Somalia: A Multi‐Site Prospective Cohort Study

Maternal &Child Nutrition, EarlyView.
Relapse rates post‐SAM treatment varied: 32% in Mali, 63% in South Sudan, 21% in Somalia. Diverse WASH and animal ownership factors were linked to relapse risk, differing by context. Some WASH conditions increased risk, whereas animal ownership was protective in Mali and South Sudan. No significant associations emerged in Somalia.
