Exploring the association between khat use and psychiatric symptoms: a systematic review by Betsy Edwards, Naomi Atkins

“…The quality of this meta-analysis was appraised using the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluations (GRADE) scoring system.Results 35 studies were eligible for inclusion (total participants=31 893), spanning 5 countries (Ethiopia, Somalia, Kenya, Saudi Arabia, UK). Meta-analysis suggests that khat use is associated with an 122% increased prevalence of psychiatric symptoms (OR 2.22, 95% CIs 1.76 to 2.79, p<0.00001, GRADE score: ‘very low’).Conclusions The high heterogeneity of the meta-analysis is likely due to the wide variation between the studies within the evidence base. …”

Unveiling farmers’ perceptions: a citizen science and machine learning approach to exploring drivers in the adequacy and fairness of water systems by Vasilios Plakandaras, Fahad Khan Khadim, Vassiliki Kazana, Emmanouil Anagnostou, Amvrossios C Bagtzoglou

“…This study evaluates the effects of citizen science approaches in shaping the farmers’ perceptions towards adequacy of the quantity of the provided water and the fairness of the irrigation distribution system in the area, using as a case study a project implemented in the Upper Blue Nile (UBN) region of Ethiopia in two irrigated communities. Harnessing the analytical power of machine learning models in extracting patterns from data, the informational content of social surveys coupled with hydrological data for the survey region from a calibrated MODFLOW-NWT groundwater (GW) model, we draw inferences on the importance of socioeconomic rather than hydrological variables as drivers in agricultural decisions about crop selection and planting period, underscoring those factors as potential criteria in drawing successful agricultural policies for crop yield optimization in the Great South area. …”
