Learning atoms from crystal structure
No full textUnderstanding of chemical elements underlies physical sciences, revealing the fundamental role of elements in the formation and properties of materials. Recent advances offer insight into chemical elements through multi-dimensional descriptors, enabling materials modelling and functional property prediction. The predictive power of such modelling is strongly affected by availability of crystal structure information, often inaccessible in exploratory studies; however, existing elemental descriptors lack direct access to structural insights. In this study, we introduce Local Environment-induced Atomic Features (LEAFs), incorporating structural information into elemental descriptors. By deducing atomic properties from local structural environments, LEAFs offer a valuable insight into composition-structure-property relationships. In the crystal structure of a material, each atomic site can be quantitatively described by similarity to common structural motifs, producing a set of descriptors for atoms in crystal structures. By combining these unique identifiers from the local structures of chemical elements across the experimentally verified inorganic materials, LEAFs formulate a comprehensive set of elemental descriptors. We demonstrate the versatility of LEAFs in addressing critical challenges in materials science, including structure-informed interpretation of property predictions based only on compositional information, quantitative mapping of chemical space in structural terms, and efficient evaluation of elemental substitutions for materials design

Data for the paper "The role of maternal sensitivity, infant temperament, and context in the development of emotion regulation"
No full textData for the paper "The role of maternal sensitivity, infant temperament, and context in the development of emotion regulation". The dataset includes information on emotion regulation tasks (2 frustration and 2 novelty contexts for each ID): type and duration of each task, intensity of child distress (range 0-5) showed in each task, percentage of the time spent by the child in soothing behaviours, distraction and communicative behaviours. Additionally, the dataset includes the temperamental group each child belongs to (low and high negative reactivity) and the level of sensitivity shown by mothers during each task (range 1-5)

Consumer preferences, and willingness to pay for safe pork products in rural Kenya
Get PDFDesigning interventions to support the safe development of rapidly growing livestock value chains in sub-Saharan Africa requires a clear understanding of consumer demands. This study aimed to determine purchase patterns, consumers’ preferences, and willingness to pay for safe pork attributes; specifically, the presence of a veterinary inspection stamp and the cleanliness of the butchery.
A discrete choice experiment-based survey was used to investigate the purchasing behavior of 401 pork consumers: 253 buying raw pork for household consumption, and 148 buying cooked pork for out-of-home consumption. The study findings indicate that the average quantity of pork purchased by consumers was approximately 0.4 Kg per transaction, with the majority of consumers making several purchases per week.
The average price per Kg of pork was KES 310 (Approx. 2.60 USD) at the time of the study. Data from the choice experiment showed that consumers were willing to pay a price premium of KES 245 (Approx. 2.1 USD) and KES 164 (Approx. 1.4 USD) per Kg for evidence of better veterinary meat inspection and higher butchery hygiene respectively; further, these were the two most important attributes they considered while making a pork purchase decision.
These findings highlight the potential to leverage consumers’ willingness to pay to improve the food safety within pork value chains in this context. Investing to increase consumer awareness on food safety issues should be considered to generate an effective market demand, especially in rural areas with relatively lower literacy levels
Antibiotic prescribing practices in community and clinical settings during the COVID-19 pandemic in Nairobi, Kenya
No full textThe COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted healthcare systems, including antibiotic use practices. We aimed to present data on patterns of antibiotic dispensing and use in community and hospital settings respectively in Nairobi, Kenya during the pandemic.
We conducted interviews with 243 pharmacies in Nairobi using a standardised questionnaire from November to December 2021. The data collected included demographic characteristics, antibiotic customers, types of antibiotics sold, and antibiotic prescribing practices. Additionally, we retrospectively reviewed health records for 992 and 738 patients admitted in COVID-19 and general wards at two large inpatient hospitals between April 2020 and May 2021, and January 2019 to October 2021, respectively. Demographic, utilisation of laboratory services, treatment, clinical, and outcome data were collected using a modified Global WHO Point Prevalence Surveys (Global-PPS) tool.
Almost all pharmacies (91.4%) served customers suspected of having COVID-19 with a mean weekly number of 15.6 customers. All pharmacies dispensed antibiotics, mainly azithromycin and beta lactams to suspected COVID-19 infected customers. Amongst the hospitalised COVID-19 patients, 83.4% received at least one antibiotic at some point during their hospitalisation, which was significantly higher than the 53.8% general ward patients 53.8% (p<0.001). Similarly, the average number of antibiotics administered to COVID-19 patients was higher than that of patients in the general ward (1.74 vs 0.9). Azithromycin and ceftriaxone were the most commonly used antibiotics in COVID-19 patients compared to ceftriaxone and metronidazole in the general wards. Only 2% of antibiotic prescriptions for COVID-19 patients were supported by microbiological investigations, which was consistent with the proportion of 6.8% among the general ward population.
Antibiotics were commonly prescribed to customers and patients suspected of having COVID-19 either in community pharmacies or in hospital, without a prescription or laboratory diagnosis. These findings emphasize the crucial role of antibiotic stewardship, particularly in community pharmacies, in the context of COVID-19
