Major ions and irrigation water quality assessment of the Nepalese Himalayan rivers
Positive environmental effects of the coronavirus 2020 episode
The outbreak of COVID-19 has made a global catastrophic situation that caused 1,039,406 deaths out of 35,347,404 infections, and it will also cause significant socio-economic losses with poverty increasing from 17.1 to 25.9%. Although the spreading rate of COVID-19 is very high on October 6, 2020, the death rate is still less than 2.94%. Nonetheless, this review article shows that the lockdown has induced numerous positive impacts on the environm…
Investigating the effectiveness of nanotechnologies in environmental health with an emphasis on environmental health journals
OBJECTIVE: The use of nanotechnologies is important to reduce environmental health problems in Iran, so the present study was conducted to determine the effectiveness of nanotechnologies in environmental health. This is a cross-sectional descriptive study for 11-year periods (2008-2018) on all articles published in three specialized journals of environmental health with emphasis on the use of nanotechnologies in various fields of environmental he…
The Association between the Preference for Active Play and Neurological Development in Toddlers
Active play is regarded as physical activity during early childhood. Physical activity has many benefits for children's physical and psychosocial health and wellbeing, as well as for their cognitive development. The aim of this study was to investigate associations between the preference for active play and neurological development in toddlers. The study was conducted as a register-based study, and the data were collected from a public-health cli…
Metal Fractionation in Surface Sediments of the Brahmaputra River and Implications for Their Mobilization
The Brahmaputra River is the largest tropical river in India that flows along the Himalayan regions and it is the lifeline of millions of people. Metal fractionation in the Brahmaputra River's surface sediments and its correlation with turbidity are assessed in this study. The interaction between metal fractions and the overlying water is studied using multivariate statistical analyses. The strong positive correlation between NH 4 of the overlyin…
The Risk of Mercury Exposure to the People Consuming Fish from Lake Phewa, Nepal
The risk of mercury exposure through consumption of fish from Lake Phewa, Nepal was investigated. A total of 170 people were surveyed to know their fish consumption levels. The weekly mercury (Hg) intake in the form of methylmercury (MeHg) through fish was calculated by using the data on average MeHg concentrations in fish, the average consumption of fish per week, and an average body weight of the people. Hotel owners were consuming significantl…
Do Antenatal and Postnatal Parental Psychological Distress, and Recognized Need of Help Predict Preadolescent’s Psychiatric Symptoms? The Finnish Family Competence Cohort Study
Early Childhood Psychological Problems Predict a Poor Sense of Coherence in Adolescents
The aim of the present 15-year follow-up was to study the association between childhood psychological symptoms and sense of coherence (SOC) in adolescence. Destructive behaviour at three years, attention problems and thought problems at 12 years, attention problems, anxiety/depression, delinquency and somatic complaints at 15 years predicted a poor SOC at 18 years. Problems reported by adolescents themselves explained a poor SOC much more often t…
Changes in Dental Health and Dental Health Habits from 3 to 5 Years of Age
Among 3-year-old children, plaque is an indicator of caries risk and therefore should be a key element in health education. Those children who already have evidence of caries at 3 years of age should be the target of preventive dental services because of their increased risk
Declining perinatal mortality in a region of Finland, 1968-82
Perinatal mortality (PNM) in the catchment area of the University Central Hospital of Turku (UCHT), Finland, was investigated during a 15-year period from 1968 to 1982. During the study period, 82,151 babies were born, there were 531 fetal deaths and 505 cases of early neonatal death. The PNM rate declined during the study period from 17.9 in 1968 to 7.0 in 1982, or from 14.8 to 4.6 when infants weighing less than 1000 grams were excluded. Signif…
